For clarification purposes, Default Interest and late payment charges (collectively, “Penalty Charges”) paid on the A Notes pursuant to this Section 3 shall be allocated to the Note A Holders on a pro rata basis and applied: first, to reduce, on a pro rata basis, the Penalty Charges otherwise payable on each such A Note by the amount necessary to pay the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Special Servicer for any interest accrued on any Property Protection Advances and reimbursement of any Property Protection Advances in accordance with the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement; second, to reduce, on a pro rata basis, the Penalty Charges otherwise payable to the Noteholder of each such A Note by the amount necessary to pay the Master Servicer, Trustee, Non-Lead Master Servicer or 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 any Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, as applicable); third, to reduce, on a pro rata basis, the Penalty Charges otherwise payable to each Note A Holder 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 Servicing Agreement); and finally, (i) in the case of the remaining amount of Penalty Charges otherwise allocable pursuant to this Section 3 to the Lead Securitization Noteholder, to pay such remaining amount to the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer as additional servicing compensation as provided in the Servicing Agreement and (ii) in the case of the remaining amount of Penalty Charges allocable pursuant to this Section 3 to any Note A Holder that is not the Lead Securitization Noteholder, to pay such remaining amount (x) prior to the Securitization of such A Note, to the related Note A Holder and (y) following the Securitization

of such A Note, to the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer as additional servicing compensation as provided in the Servicing Agreement.

Section 4.                [Reserved.]

Section 5.                Administration of the Mortgage Loan.

(a)    Subject to this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 5(f) below) and the Servicing Agreement and consistent with the Servicing Standard, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Noteholder) 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 other Noteholder shall have any voting, consent or other rights whatsoever with respect to the Lead Securitization Noteholder’s administration of, or exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to, the Mortgage Loan. Subject to this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 5(f) below) and consistent with the Servicing Standard, each Non-Lead Noteholder agrees that it shall have no right to, and hereby presently and irrevocably assigns and conveys to the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Noteholder) the rights, if any, that such Non-Lead Noteholder has to, (i) call or cause the Lead Securitization 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 Lead Securitization Noteholder to file any bankruptcy petition against the Mortgage Loan Borrower. The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Noteholder) shall not have any fiduciary duty to any Non-Lead Noteholder in connection with the administration of the Mortgage Loan (but the foregoing shall not relieve the Lead Securitization 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 this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement. The Servicers shall service the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 5(f) below) and consistent with the Servicing Standard. Servicing of the Mortgage Loan shall be carried out by the Master Servicer and, if the Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan, by the Special Servicer, in each case pursuant to the Servicing Agreement and consistent with the Servicing Standard. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in accordance with the Servicing Agreement, the Lead Securitization 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 Noteholders as a collective whole. The foregoing provisions of this Section 5(b) shall not limit or modify the rights of the Controlling Noteholder and/or the Controlling Noteholder Representative 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

 32 

 

limitation, Sections 5(f) and 6), if the Servicer in connection with a Workout of the Mortgage Loan modifies the terms thereof in accordance herewith such that (i) the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan is decreased, (ii) the Mortgage Loan Rate or scheduled amortization payments on such Mortgage Loan are reduced, (iii) payments of interest or principal on such Mortgage Loan are waived, reduced or deferred or (iv) any other adjustment (other than an increase in the Mortgage Loan Rate or increase in scheduled amortization payments) is made to any of the terms of the Mortgage Loan, all payments to the Note A Holders 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, the full economic effect of all waivers, reductions or deferrals of amounts due on the Mortgage Loan attributable to such Workout shall be borne by the Note A Holders (pro rata based on the Principal Balances of their respective Notes).

(d)   All rights and obligations of the Lead Securitization Noteholder described hereunder may be exercised by the Servicers on behalf of the Lead Securitization Noteholder in accordance with the Servicing Agreement and this Agreement.

(e)    If any 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 Notes shall each 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 Noteholders 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 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 Noteholders 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 months after the earliest startup day of any REMIC which includes all or a portion of any A Note. The Noteholders agree that the provisions of this Section 5(e) shall be effected by compliance by the Lead Securitization Noteholder or its assignees with this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement or any other agreement which governs the administration of the Mortgage Loan or the Lead Securitization Noteholder’s interests therein. All costs and expenses of compliance with this Section 5(e), to the extent that such costs and expenses relate to administration of a REMIC or to any determination respecting the amount, payment or avoidance of any tax under the REMIC Provisions or the actual payment of any REMIC tax or expense, shall be borne (without reimbursement under Section 3) by each Noteholder with respect to the REMIC containing the Note owned by such Noteholder.

Anything herein or in the Servicing Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that a Note is included in a REMIC and the other Notes are not, the other Noteholders shall not be required to reimburse such Noteholder that deposited its Note in the REMIC 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

 33 

 

use of funds for payment of any such taxes, costs or expenses or advances, nor shall any disbursement or payment otherwise distributable to either such other Noteholder be reduced to offset or make-up any such payment or deficit.

(f)    (i) Subject to clauses (ii) or (iii) below, if any consent, modification, amendment or waiver under or other action in respect of the Mortgage Loan (whether or not a Servicing Transfer Event has occurred and is continuing) that would constitute a Major Decision has been requested or proposed or any fact or circumstance has occurred requiring that a Major Decision be made, or if the Master Servicer or Special Servicer otherwise intends to make a Major Decision, then the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall deliver prompt written notice thereof to the Controlling Noteholder and its Controlling Noteholder Representative, if any, at least ten (10) Business Days prior to taking action with respect to such Major Decision (or making a determination not to take action with respect to such Major Decision), and none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or any other Person shall implement any decision with respect to such Major Decision (or make a determination not to take action with respect to such Major Decision) unless and until the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, has received the written consent of the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative).

(ii)       If the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, has not received a response from the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative) with respect to such Major Decision within five (5) Business Days after delivery of the notice of such Major Decision, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall deliver an additional copy of the notice of such Major Decision in all caps bold 14-point font: “This is a Second Notice. Failure to respond within five (5) Business Days of this Second Notice will result in a loss of your right to consent with respect to this decision,” and if the Controlling Noteholder fails to respond to the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) with respect to any such proposed action within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such second notice, the Controlling Noteholder shall have no further consent rights with respect to such action (provided, however, that such failure to reply shall not affect the rights of the Controlling Noteholder to consent to any future actions). Notwithstanding the foregoing, or if a failure to take any such action at such time would be inconsistent with the Servicing Standard, the Servicer may take actions with respect to such Mortgaged Property before obtaining the consent of the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative) (or before consulting with any Non-Controlling Noteholder to the extent such Non-Controlling Noteholder has consultation rights with respect to such action) if the Servicer reasonably determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that failure to take such actions prior to such consent would materially and adversely affect the interest of the Noteholders as a collective whole, and the Servicer has made a reasonable effort to contact the Controlling Noteholder. The foregoing shall not relieve the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or a Servicer acting on its behalf) of its duties to comply with the Servicing Standard.

(iii)       Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer acting on its behalf) shall not follow any advice, direction, objection or consultation provided by the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative) that would require or cause the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer acting on its behalf) to violate

 34 

 

any applicable law, including the REMIC Provisions, be inconsistent with the Servicing Standard, require or cause the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer acting on its behalf) to violate provisions of this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, require or cause the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer acting on its behalf) to violate the terms of the Mortgage Loan, or materially expand the scope of the Lead Securitization Noteholder’s (or any Servicer acting on its behalf) responsibilities under this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement.

The Special Servicer shall be required to provide copies to each Non-Controlling Noteholder of any notice, information and report that is required to be provided to the Controlling Noteholder pursuant to the Servicing Agreement with respect to any Major Decisions or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report within the same time frame such notice, information and report is required to be provided to the Controlling Noteholder, and the Special Servicer shall be required to consult with each Non-Controlling  Noteholder on a strictly non-binding basis, to the extent having received such notices, information and reports, any Non-Controlling Noteholder requests consultation with respect to any such Major Decisions or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report, and consider alternative actions recommended by such Non-Controlling Noteholder; provided that after the expiration of a period of ten (10) Business Days from the delivery to any Non-Controlling Noteholder by the Special Servicer of written notice of a proposed action, together with copies of the notice, information and reports, the Special Servicer shall no longer be obligated to consult with such Non-Controlling Noteholder, whether or not such Non-Controlling  Noteholder has responded within such ten (10) Business Day period (unless, the Special Servicer proposes a new course of action that is materially different from the action previously proposed, in which case such ten (10) Business Day period shall be deemed to begin anew from the date of such proposal and delivery of all information relating thereto). After a Securitization of any Note that is not the Lead Securitization Note, references in this paragraph to a Non-Controlling Noteholder as such term relates to such Note shall mean the related Non-Lead Securitization Subordinate Class Representative.

In addition to the consultation rights provided in the immediately preceding paragraph, each Non-Controlling Noteholder shall have the right to attend annual meetings (which may be held telephonically or in person, at the discretion of the Servicer) with the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf), 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.

The Noteholders acknowledge that the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement may contain certain provisions that give the Operating Advisor or Risk Retention Consultation Party certain non-binding consultation rights with respect to Major Decisions and other events related to compliance with the Risk Retention Rules applicable to the Lead Securitization.

(h)   [Reserved.]

(i)     [Reserved.]

(j)     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Servicing Agreement, if at any time a Borrower Party is a Noteholder (a “Borrower Party Noteholder”), then (i) such Borrower Party Noteholder shall not have any rights as a Controlling Noteholder or a Controlling Class Representative, (ii) such Borrower Party Noteholder shall have no right to appoint or terminate the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, (iii) such Borrower Party Noteholder shall have no right to consult with or advise the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, and shall have no right to review and approve or comment on any Asset Status Report and (iv) in each and every instance where, pursuant to this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer must take into account the interests of each Noteholder (or words of similar import), such consideration shall be given to the Borrower Party Noteholder only in its capacity as a holder of the applicable Note.

(k)   If an Event of Default under the Mortgage Loan has occurred and is continuing, the Special Servicer may, in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Servicing Agreement and subject to the Servicing Standard, elect to sell the Mortgage Loan, subject to the consent right of the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative), in which case such sale would include all the A Notes and the Special Servicer shall provide notice to each Non-Lead Master Servicer, who shall provide notice to the related Non-Controlling Noteholder of the planned sale and of such Non-Controlling Noteholder’s opportunity to submit an offer on the A Notes together.

Each Non-Lead Noteholder hereby appoints the Lead Securitization Noteholder as its agent, and grants to the Lead Securitization Noteholder 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 its respective Non-Lead Note. Each Non-Lead Noteholder further agrees that, upon the request of the Lead Securitization Noteholder, the Non-Lead Noteholder shall execute and deliver to or at the direction of the Lead Securitization Noteholder such powers of attorney or other instruments as the Lead Securitization Noteholder may reasonably request to better assure and evidence the foregoing appointment and grant, in each case promptly following request, and shall deliver its respective original Non-Lead Note, endorsed in blank, to or at the direction of the Lead Securitization Noteholder in connection with the consummation of any such sale. For the avoidance of doubt, this paragraph is subject to the consent right of the Controlling Noteholder in the immediately preceding paragraph.

The authority of the Lead Securitization Noteholder to sell a Non-Lead Note, and the obligations of a Non-Lead Noteholder to execute and deliver instruments or deliver the Non-Lead Note upon request of the Lead Securitization Noteholder, 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 Person that sold such Lead Securitization Note into the Lead Securitization from the Lead Securitization Trust in connection with a material breach of representation or warranty made by such Person with respect to the Lead Securitization Note or material document defect with respect to the documents delivered by such Person with respect to the Lead Securitization Note upon the consummation of the Lead Securitization. The preceding sentence shall not be construed to grant to any Non-Lead Noteholder the benefit of any representation or warranty made by the Person that sold such Lead Securitization Note into the Lead Securitization or any document delivery obligation imposed on such Person under any mortgage loan purchase

 36 

 

and sale agreement, instrument of transfer or other document or instrument that may be executed or delivered by such Person in connection with the Lead Securitization.

Section 6.                Appointment of Controlling Noteholder Representative.

(a)    The Controlling Noteholder shall have the right at any time to appoint a controlling noteholder representative to exercise its rights hereunder (the “Controlling Noteholder Representative”). The Controlling Noteholder shall have the right in its sole discretion at any time and from time to time to remove and replace the Controlling Noteholder Representative. When exercising its various rights under Section 5 and elsewhere in this Agreement, the Controlling Noteholder may, at its option, in each case, act through the Controlling Noteholder Representative. The Controlling Noteholder Representative may be any Person (other than a Borrower Party), including, without limitation, the Controlling Noteholder, any officer or employee of the Controlling Noteholder, any Affiliate of the Controlling Noteholder or any other unrelated third party. No such Controlling Noteholder Representative shall owe any fiduciary duty or other duty to any other Person (other than the Controlling Noteholder). All actions that are permitted to be taken by the Controlling Noteholder under this Agreement may be taken by the Controlling Noteholder Representative acting on behalf of the Controlling Noteholder and other Noteholders (and any Servicer) will accept such actions of the Controlling Noteholder Representative as actions of the Controlling Noteholder. The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer on its behalf) shall not be required to recognize any Person as a Controlling Noteholder Representative until the Controlling Noteholder has notified the Lead Securitization Noteholder (and any Servicer) of such appointment and, if the Controlling Noteholder Representative is not the same Person as the Controlling Noteholder, the Controlling Noteholder Representative provides the Lead Securitization Noteholder (and any Servicer) with written confirmation of its acceptance of such appointment, an address, any fax number and any email address 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, telephone numbers, any fax numbers and any email addresses). The Controlling Noteholder shall promptly deliver such information to any Servicer. None of the Servicers, Operating Advisor and Trustee shall be required to recognize any person as a Controlling Noteholder Representative until they receive such information from the Controlling Noteholder. The Controlling Noteholder agrees to inform each such Servicer or Trustee of the then-current Controlling Noteholder Representative.

(b)   Neither the Controlling Noteholder Representative nor the Controlling Noteholder will have any liability to any other Noteholder or any other Person for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action pursuant to this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, or for errors in judgment, absent any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence. The Noteholders agree that the Controlling Noteholder Representative and the Controlling Noteholder may take or refrain from taking actions that favor the interests of one Noteholder over any other Noteholder, and that the Controlling Noteholder Representative may have special relationships and interests that conflict with the interests of a Noteholder and, absent willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of the Controlling Noteholder Representative or such Controlling Noteholder, as the case may be, agree to take no action against the Controlling Noteholder Representative, such Controlling Noteholder 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 Noteholder

 37 

 

Representative nor such Controlling Noteholder 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 solely in the interests of any Noteholder.

(c)    Each of the other Noteholders acknowledges and agrees all of the aforementioned rights and obligations of the Controlling Noteholder and the Controlling Noteholder Representative set forth in Section 5(f) and 5(g) and this Section 6 shall be exercisable by the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the applicable Person specified in the Servicing Agreement) to the extent set forth in the Servicing Agreement.

Section 7.                Special Servicer. The Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative), at its expense (including, without limitation, the reasonable costs and expenses of counsel to any third parties and costs and expenses of the terminated Special Servicer), shall have the right, at any time from time to time, to appoint a replacement Special Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan. The Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative) shall be entitled to terminate the rights and obligations of any Special Servicer under the Servicing Agreement, with or without cause, upon at least ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Special Servicer (provided, however, that the Controlling Noteholder and/or Controlling Noteholder Representative shall not be liable for any termination or similar fee in connection with the removal of the Special Servicer in accordance with this Section 7); such termination not to be effective unless and until (A) each Rating Agency delivers a Rating Agency Confirmation (to the extent any portion of the Mortgage Loan has been securitized); (B) the successor Special Servicer has assumed in writing (from and after the date such successor Special Servicer becomes the Special Servicer) all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Special Servicer under the Servicing Agreement from and after the date it becomes the Special Servicer as they relate to the Mortgage Loan pursuant to an assumption agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; and (C) the Trustee shall have received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee to the effect that (x) the designation of such replacement to serve as Special Servicer is in compliance with the Servicing Agreement, (y) such replacement will be bound by the terms of the Servicing Agreement with respect to such Mortgage Loan and (z) subject to customary qualifications and exceptions, the applicable Servicing Agreement will be enforceable against such replacement in accordance with its terms. The Lead Securitization Noteholder shall promptly provide copies to any terminated Special Servicer of the documents referred to in the preceding sentence. The Lead Securitization Noteholder will reasonably cooperate with the Controlling Noteholder in order to satisfy the foregoing conditions, including the Rating Agency Confirmation.

The Controlling Noteholder agrees and acknowledges that the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement may contain provisions to the effect that any Special Servicer is subject to termination under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement based on a recommendation by the Operating Advisor if (A) the Operating Advisor determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that (1) the Special Servicer has failed to comply with the Servicing Standard and (2) a replacement of the Special Servicer would be in the best interest of the holders of securities issued under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (as a collective whole) and (B) an affirmative vote of requisite certificateholders is obtained. The Controlling Noteholder will retain

 38 

 

its right to remove and replace the Special Servicer, but the Controlling Noteholder may not restore a Special Servicer that has been removed in accordance with the preceding sentence.

Section 8.                Payment Procedure.

(a)    The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Master Servicer on its behalf), in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 3, and subject to the terms of the Servicing Agreement, will deposit or cause to be deposited all payments allocable to the Notes to the Collection Account or Companion Distribution Account established pursuant to the Servicing Agreement. The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Master Servicer on its behalf) shall establish a segregated sub-account for amounts due to each Noteholder. The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Master Servicer acting on its behalf) shall deposit such amounts to the applicable account within two (2) Business Days following the Lead Securitization Noteholder’s (or the Master Servicer’s acting on its behalf) receipt of properly identified and available funds from or on behalf of the Mortgage Loan Borrower; provided, however, that in the event the Master Servicer is in receipt of properly identified funds that are not available to the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer may instead deposit such amounts into the Collection Account and Companion Distribution Account, as applicable, on the same Business Day that such properly identified funds become available to the Master Servicer.

(b)   If the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) determines, or a court of competent jurisdiction orders, at any time that any amount received or collected in respect of a Note must, pursuant to any insolvency, bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, preference or similar law, be returned to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or paid to such Noteholder or any Servicer or paid to any other Person, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall not be required to distribute any portion thereof to such Noteholder and such Noteholder will promptly on demand by the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) repay to the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) any portion thereof that the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall have theretofore distributed to such Noteholder, together with interest thereon at such rate, if any, as the Lead Securitization Noteholder shall have been required to pay to the Mortgage Loan Borrower, the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, any other Noteholder or such other Person with respect thereto.

(c)    If, for any reason, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) makes any payment to any other Noteholder before the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) has received the corresponding payment (it being understood that the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) is under no obligation to do so), and the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) does not receive the corresponding payment within three (3) Business Days of its payment to such other Noteholder, then such other Noteholder will, at the Lead Securitization Noteholder’s (or the Servicer’s on its behalf) request, promptly return that payment to the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf).

(d)   Each Noteholder 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 Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer

 39 

 

on its behalf) for application subject to and in accordance with this Agreement and the Servicing. The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall have the right to offset any amounts due hereunder from any other Noteholder, as applicable, with respect to the Mortgage Loan against any future payments due to such other Noteholder, as applicable, under the Mortgage Loan, provided, that each Noteholder’s obligations under this Section 8 are separate and distinct obligations from one another and in no event shall the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) enforce the obligations of one Noteholder against another Noteholder. Each Noteholder’s obligations under this Section 8 constitute absolute, unconditional and continuing obligations.

Section 9.                Limitation on Liability of the Noteholders. No Noteholder (including any Servicer on a Noteholder’s behalf, but only to the extent that the Servicing Agreement does not impose any other standard upon any Servicer, in which case the Servicing Agreement shall control) shall have any liability to any other Noteholder except with respect to losses actually suffered due to the gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement on the part of such Noteholder.

Each Noteholder acknowledges that, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, any other Noteholder may exercise, or omit to exercise, any rights that such Noteholder may have under this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement in a manner that may be adverse to the interests of each other Noteholder and that such Noteholder shall have no liability whatsoever to any other Noteholder in connection with such Noteholder’s exercise of rights or any omission by such Noteholder to exercise such rights; provided, however, that such Noteholder shall not be protected against any liability to any other Noteholder that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence.

Section 10.            Bankruptcy. Subject to the provisions of Section 5(f) hereof and the Servicing Standard, each Noteholder hereby covenants and agrees that only the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) 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. Subject to the provisions of Section 5(f) hereof and the Servicing Standard, each Noteholder further agrees that only the Lead Securitization Noteholder, as a creditor, 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. Subject to the provisions of Section 5(f) hereof and the Servicing Standard, the Noteholders hereby appoint the Lead Securitization Noteholder as their agent, and grant to the Lead Securitization Noteholder 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 one or more of such Noteholders 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

 40 

 

to modify, lift or terminate the automatic stay with respect to the Mortgage Loan. The Noteholders, hereby agree that, upon the request of the Lead Securitization Noteholder but subject to the provisions of Section 5(f), each other Noteholder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Lead Securitization Noteholder all and every such further deeds, conveyances and instruments as the Lead Securitization Noteholder may reasonably request for the better assuring and evidencing of the foregoing appointment and grant. All actions taken by any Servicer in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding are subject to and must be in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

Section 14.            Representations of the Note A Holders. Each of the Note A Holders 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 Noteholder’s charter or any law or contractual restriction binding upon such Noteholder and that this Agreement is the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Noteholder as applicable enforceable against it 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 of the Note A Holders represents and warrants that it is duly organized, validly existing, in good standing and possession of all licenses and authorizations necessary to carry on its respective business. Each of the Note A Holders represents and warrants that (a) this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Noteholder, (b) to such Noteholder’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 Noteholder have been obtained or made and (c) to such Noteholder’s actual knowledge, there is no pending action, suit or proceeding, arbitration or governmental investigation against such Noteholder, an adverse outcome of which would materially and adversely affect its performance under this Agreement.

Section 15.            Each of the Note A Holders acknowledges that no other Noteholder owes such Noteholder any fiduciary duty with respect to any action taken under the Mortgage Loan Documents and, except as provided herein or in the Servicing Agreement, need not consult with such Noteholder with respect to any action taken by such Noteholder in connection with the Mortgage Loan.

Section 16.            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 any of the Noteholders as a partnership, association, joint venture or other entity. No Noteholder shall have any obligation whatsoever to offer to any other Noteholder the opportunity to purchase any future loan originated by such Noteholder or its Affiliates and if any Noteholder chooses to offer to any other Noteholder the opportunity to

 41 

 

purchase any future mortgage loan originated by such Noteholder or its Affiliates, such offer shall be at such purchase price and interest rate as such Noteholder chooses, in its sole and absolute discretion. No Noteholder shall have any obligation whatsoever to purchase from any other Noteholder any future loans originated by such Noteholder or its Affiliates.

Section 17.            Not a Security. None of the Notes shall be deemed to be a security within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.

Section 18.            Other Business Activities of the Noteholders. Each Noteholder acknowledges that each other Noteholder or its Affiliates may make loans or otherwise extend credit to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, (i) (a) the Mortgage Loan Borrower or (b) any direct or indirect parent of the Mortgage Loan Borrower or (c) any Affiliate of the Mortgage Loan Borrower or (d) any Affiliate of any direct or indirect parent of the Mortgage Loan Borrower, (ii) any entity that is a holder of debt secured by direct or indirect ownership interests in the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Affiliate of the holder of such debt, or (iii) any entity that is a holder of a preferred equity interest in the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Affiliate of a holder of such preferred equity (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 19.            Sale of the Notes.

(a)    [Reserved.]

(b)   [Reserved.]

(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 Noteholders and any Persons acting on their 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 Noteholders a certification from an authorized officer confirming its status as a Qualified Institutional Lender), such Noteholder, by written notice to the other Noteholders, may delegate to such participant such Noteholder’s right to exercise the rights of the Controlling Noteholder hereunder and under the Servicing Agreement.

(d)   Each of the Note A Holders shall have the right to Transfer all or any portion of its Note without the prior consent of any other Noteholder (i) prior to an Event of Default, to any party other than a Borrower Party and (ii) after an Event of Default, to any party, including a Borrower Party; provided, however, that following any Event of Default under the Mortgage Loan, a Note A Holder may only transfer all or any portion of its Note to a Borrower Party with the prior written consent of the Controlling Noteholder at any time when such Note A Holder is not the Controlling Noteholder; provided further, however, that following any Transfer of any A Note, the

 42 

 

Mortgage Loan continues to be serviced in its entirety pursuant to the Servicing Agreement by a Servicer unaffiliated with Mortgage Loan Borrower. For the avoidance of doubt, subject to Section 12, no Noteholder or the Servicer shall have any right to Transfer or cause the Transfer of any other Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without each non-transferring Note A Holder’s prior consent, and, if any such non-transferring Note A Holder’s Note or any portion thereof is held in a Securitization Trust, without a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to the related Securitization, no Noteholder shall Transfer its Note or any portion thereof (or a participation interest in such Note) to a Borrower Party and any such Transfer shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee.

(e)    Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, any Noteholder may pledge (a “Pledge”) its Note to any entity (other than a Borrower Party) which has extended a credit or repurchase facility to such Noteholder and that is (x) 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 (y) to any Federal Reserve Bank or Federal Home Loan Bank to secure any obligation of such Noteholder to such bank and such pledge shall be enforceable in accordance with the terms thereof (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) prior to the first Securitization of any Note, the consent of each other Noteholder and (b) after the closing of the first Securitization of any Note, Rating Agency Confirmation. Upon written notice by the applicable Noteholder to each other Noteholder and any Servicer that a Pledge has been effected (including the name and address of the applicable Note Pledgee), each other Noteholder 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) Business Days to cure a default by the pledging Noteholder in respect of its obligations to each 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 each other Noteholder 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

 43 

 

pursuant to this Agreement or any Servicing Agreement. Any pledging Noteholder hereby unconditionally and absolutely releases each other Noteholder 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 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 made by the Conduit (the “Conduit Inventory Loan”) 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

 44 

 

otherwise, than would any other purchaser that is not a Qualified Institutional Lender at a foreclosure sale conducted by a Note Pledgee.

Section 20.            Assignment and Assumption Upon Transfer. In connection with any Transfer of a Note to any entity (but excluding (x) any participant and (y) any 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 restrictions on Transfers set forth in Section 19, from and after the date of such assignment. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, neither the Trustee nor any Non-Lead Trustee shall 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 Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement or a Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, as the case may be. In connection with a Transfer of a Note, 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.

Section 21.            Registration of the Notes. 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, and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Note owing to each such Noteholder, 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 Noteholders 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 Noteholders hereby designate such person as their agent under this Section 21 solely for purposes of maintaining the Note Register. The parties intend for the Mortgage Loan to be in registered form for federal income tax purposes under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.

Section 22.            [Reserved.]

Section 23.            No Pledge. This Agreement shall not be deemed to represent a pledge of any interest in the Mortgage Loan by any one or more Noteholders to any one or more other Noteholders. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, no Non-Lead Noteholder shall have any interest in any property taken as security for the Mortgage Loan, provided, however, that if any such property or the proceeds of any sale, lease or other disposition thereof shall be received, then each Non-Lead Noteholder shall be entitled to receive its share of the application thereof in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and/or the Servicing Agreement.

 45 

 

Section 24.            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 DUTIES 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 25.            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 SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, 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 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 26.            Modifications; Amendment. This Agreement shall not be modified, cancelled or terminated except by an instrument in writing signed by each Noteholder. Additionally, for as long as any Note is contained in a Securitization Trust, the Noteholders 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 or amendment (i) to cure any ambiguity, or (ii) entered into pursuant to Section 38

 46 

 

of this Agreement or (iii) to correct or supplement any provision herein that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions of this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement.

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 applicable Noteholder hereunder, including, without limitation, the right to make further assignments.

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. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement in Portable Document Format (PDF) or by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed original counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 29.            Captions. The titles and headings of the paragraphs of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to summarize or otherwise describe the subject matter of the paragraphs and shall not be given any consideration in the construction of this Agreement.

Section 30.            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 31.            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 32.            [Reserved.]

Section 33.            Custody of Mortgage Loan Documents. The originals of all of the Mortgage Loan Documents (other than the Notes) will be held by the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or a custodian acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Noteholder) who shall act as secured party under the Mortgage Loan Documents on behalf of the registered holders of the Notes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, upon the Lead Securitization, the originals of all of the Mortgage Loan Documents (other than the Notes) shall be held by the Custodian. Each Note shall be held by the respective Noteholder or a custodian appointed by such Noteholder.

Section 34.            Notices. All notices required hereunder shall be given by (i) writing and personally delivered, (ii) sent by facsimile transmission (during business hours) if a party has provided a facsimile number, (iii) reputable overnight delivery service (charges prepaid), (iv) sent by electronic mail containing language requesting the recipient to confirm receipt thereof if a party has provided an electronic mail address and only if such electronic mail is promptly followed by

 47 

 

a written notice 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.

All notices and reports (including, without limitation, Asset Status Reports) required to be delivered hereunder by the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer on its behalf) to the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative), or by the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative) to the Lead Securitization Noteholder as a Non-Controlling Noteholder (or any Servicer on its behalf), shall also be delivered by the applicable party to each other Noteholder.

Section 35.            Broker. Each Noteholder represents to each other Noteholder that no broker was responsible for bringing about this transaction.

Section 36.            Certain Matters Affecting the Agent.

(a)    The Noteholders hereby appoint the Agent to act on their behalf, and the Agent shall act on behalf of the Noteholders;

(b)   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 20;

(c)    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;

(d)   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 of the Noteholders pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless it has received indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it;

(e)    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;

(f)    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 20; and

(g)   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.

Section 37.            Termination of Agent. The Agent may be terminated at any time upon ten (10) days prior written notice from the Note A-1-1 Holder. In the event that the Agent is

 48 

 

terminated pursuant to this Section 37, 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.

The Agent may resign at any time upon notice, so long as a successor Agent, reasonably satisfactory to the Noteholders, has agreed to be bound by this Agreement and perform the duties of the Agent hereunder. DBRI, as Initial Agent, may transfer its rights and obligations to a Servicer, as successor Agent, at any time without the consent of any Noteholder. DBRI, as Initial Agent, shall promptly and diligently attempt to cause such Servicer to act as successor Agent, and, if such Servicer declines to act in such capacity, shall promptly and diligently attempt to cause a similar servicer to act as successor Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Noteholders 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 the Initial Agent or any successor thereto upon such Securitization without any further notice or other action. The termination or resignation of the Master Servicer, as Master Servicer under the Servicing Agreement, shall be deemed a termination or resignation of such Master Servicer as Agent under this Agreement without any further notice or other action, in which case the appointment of a successor Master Servicer under the Servicing Agreement shall be deemed an appointment of such successor Master Servicer as successor Agent under this Agreement without any further notice or other action.

Section 38.            Resizing. In connection with the Mortgage Loan, each Noteholder agrees, subject to clause (iii)(y) below, that if any Note A Holder determines that it is advantageous to resize its Note by causing the Mortgage Loan Borrower to execute amended and restated or additional pari passu notes (in either case, “New Notes”) reallocating the principal of such Note to such New Notes, each Noteholder other than the resizing Noteholder shall cooperate with the resizing Noteholder to effect such resizing at such resizing Noteholder’s expense; provided that (i) the aggregate principal balance of all outstanding New Notes following the creation thereof is no greater than the principal balance of such Note or Notes immediately prior to the creation of the New Notes, (ii) the weighted average interest rate of all outstanding New Notes following the creation thereof is the same as the interest rate of the related Note or Notes immediately prior to the creation of the New Notes, and (iii) no such resizing shall (x) change the interest allocable to, or the amount of any payments due to, any other Noteholder, or priority of such payments, or (y) increase any other Noteholder’s obligations or decrease any other Noteholder’s rights, remedies or protections. In connection with any resizing of any A Note, the related Noteholder may allocate its rights hereunder among the New Notes in any manner in its sole discretion.

Section 39.            Conflict. To the extent of any inconsistency between the Servicing Agreement, on one hand, and this Agreement, on the other, this Agreement shall control.

Section 40.            Cooperation in Securitization.

(a)    Each Noteholder acknowledges that each Noteholder may elect, in its sole discretion, to include its Note in a Securitization. In connection with a Securitization of any A Note, each other Noteholder, at the request of the related securitizing Noteholder, shall use commercially reasonable efforts, at the requesting Noteholder’s expense, to satisfy, and to cooperate with the requesting Noteholder in attempting to cause the Mortgage Loan Borrower to satisfy, the market standards to which the requesting Noteholder customarily adheres or which

 49 

 

may be reasonably required in the marketplace or by the Rating Agencies 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 the requesting Noteholder 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 such Securitization; provided, however, that either in connection with such Securitization or otherwise at any time prior to such Securitization no other Noteholder 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 any payments to be made to, such Noteholder, (ii) increase such Noteholder’s obligations or decrease such Noteholder’s rights, remedies or protections hereunder or under any Mortgage Loan Document, or (iii) otherwise materially adversely affect the rights and interests of such Noteholder. In connection with any such Securitization of an A Note, each other Noteholder agrees to provide, for inclusion in any disclosure document relating to such Securitization, such customary non-confidential information concerning such Noteholder as the requesting Noteholder reasonably determines to be necessary to satisfy its disclosure obligations in connection with such Securitization. Each Noteholder covenants and agrees that if it is not the requesting Noteholder, it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the requests of each Rating Agency and the requesting Noteholder in connection with the preparation of any offering documents in connection with the Securitization, and to review and respond reasonably promptly with respect to any information relating to it in any Securitization document, all at the cost and expense of the requesting Noteholder. Each Noteholder acknowledges that the information provided by it to the requesting Noteholder pursuant to this Section 40 may be incorporated into the offering documents for a Securitization. A requesting Note A Holder and each Rating Agency shall be entitled to rely on the information supplied by each other Noteholder pursuant to this Section 40.

(b)   Each Note A Holder securitizing its Note may, at its election, deliver to each other Noteholder drafts of the preliminary and final Securitization offering memoranda, prospectus, preliminary prospectus and any other disclosure documents and (in the case of the Lead Securitization) the Servicing Agreement simultaneously with distributions of any such documents to the general working group of the related Securitization. Each other Noteholder may, at its election, review and comment thereon insofar as it relates to such other Noteholder and/or its Note, and, if such other Noteholder elects to review and comment, such other Noteholder shall review and comment thereon as soon as possible (but in no event later than (i) in the case of the first draft thereof, two (2) Business Days after receipt thereof and (ii) in the case of each subsequent draft thereof, the deadline provided to the general working group of the related Securitization for review and comment), and if such other Noteholder fails to respond within such time, such other Noteholder shall be deemed to have elected to not comment thereon (but no failure to comment shall constitute a waiver of such other Noteholder’s rights hereunder or under the Mortgage Loan Documents). In the event of any disagreement between any such other Noteholder with respect to the preliminary and final offering memoranda, prospectus, free writing prospectus or any other disclosure documents, the requesting Noteholder’s determination shall control (the parties acknowledging that no inaccuracy in such documents shall in any respect prejudice any such other Noteholder’s rights hereunder or under the Mortgage Loan Documents). No such other Noteholder shall have any obligation or liability with respect to any such offering documents other than the accuracy of any comments it elects to make regarding itself.

 50 

 

(c)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Note A Holder acknowledges and agrees that (i) no other Noteholder shall be required to incur any out-of-pocket expenses in connection with such Note A Holder’s respective Securitization of such Note A Holder’s A Note, and (ii) each such other Noteholder shall only be required to disclose such customary non-confidential information reasonably determined by the requesting Note A Holder to be necessary to satisfy its disclosure obligations in connection with such Note A Holder’s respective Securitization.

(a)   Each Noteholder acknowledges and agrees that, subject to this Agreement, the Mortgage Loan shall be serviced pursuant to this Agreement and (i) prior to the Lead Securitization Date, under interim servicing arrangements as directed by the Note A-1 Holder and (ii) after the Lead Securitization Date, the Servicing Agreement; provided that the Master Servicer shall not be obligated to advance monthly payments of principal or interest in respect of the Notes other than the Lead Securitization Note if such principal or interest is not paid by the Mortgage Loan Borrower but shall be obligated to advance delinquent real estate taxes, insurance premiums and other expenses related to the maintenance of the Mortgaged Property and maintenance and enforcement of the lien of the Mortgage thereon, subject to the terms of the Servicing Agreement (including a determination of recoverability thereunder). Each Noteholder acknowledges that each other Noteholder may elect, in its sole discretion, to include the related Note in a Securitization and agrees that it will reasonably cooperate with such other Noteholder, at such other Noteholder’s expense, to effect such Securitization. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Noteholder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to the appointment of the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Trustee under the Servicing Agreement by the Depositor, and the appointment of the Special Servicer as the initial Special Servicer under the Servicing Agreement by the Depositor (subject to replacement by the Controlling Noteholder as provided herein) and agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer with respect to the

servicing of the Mortgage Loan in accordance with this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement. Each Noteholder hereby appoints the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee in the Lead Securitization as such Noteholder’s attorney-in-fact to sign any documents reasonably required with respect to the administration and servicing of the Mortgage Loan on its behalf under the Servicing Agreement (subject at all times to the rights of the Noteholders set forth herein and in the Servicing Agreement). In no event shall the Servicing Agreement require any Servicer to enforce the rights of any Noteholder against any other Noteholder or limit any Servicer in enforcing the rights of one Noteholder against any other Noteholder; however, this statement shall not be construed to otherwise limit the rights of one Noteholder with respect to any other Noteholder. Each Servicer shall be required pursuant to the Servicing Agreement to service the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the Servicing Standard, the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, the Servicing Agreement and applicable law, and shall not take any action or refrain from taking any action or follow any direction inconsistent with the foregoing.

(b)   In no event shall the Note B Holder be entitled to exercise any rights of the “directing holder”, controlling or consulting class or any analogous class or holder under the Servicing Agreement except to the extent the Note B Holder is given such rights expressly under the terms of this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement in its capacity as the Controlling Noteholder, and in no event may any such “directing holder”, controlling or consulting class or analogous class or holder under the Servicing Agreement have any of the rights of the Controlling Noteholder hereunder except during a Control Appraisal Period.

(c)   In no event may the Servicing Agreement change the interest allocable to, or the amount of any payments due to, the Note B Holder or materially increase the Note B Holder’s obligations or materially decrease the Note B Holder’s rights, remedies or protections hereunder or otherwise adversely affect the Note B Holder’s rights hereunder.

(d)   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 Property Protection 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 Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, will be entitled to reimbursement for a Property Protection Advance, first from funds on deposit in the Collection Account that (in any case) represent amounts received on or in respect of the Mortgage Loan in the manner provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, and then, in the case of Nonrecoverable Property Protection 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 the Non-Lead Securitizations as provided below. The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, will be entitled to reimbursement for Advance Interest Amounts on a Property Protection Advance or a Nonrecoverable Property Protection 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 Property Protection Advances, from general collections of the Non-Lead Securitizations as provided below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, obtains funds from general

25 

 

collections of the Lead Securitization as a reimbursement for a Nonrecoverable Property Protection Advance or any Advance Interest Amounts on a Property Protection Advance or a Nonrecoverable Property Protection Advance, each Non-Lead Securitization Note A Holder (including from general collections or any other amounts from the 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 Property Protection Advance or Advance Interest Amounts.

In addition, each Non-Lead Securitization Note A Holder (including, but not limited to, the related 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 A Holder’s pro rata share of any additional trust fund expenses with respect to the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgaged Property, any other fees, costs or expenses incurred in connection with the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loan and allocable to the Note A Holders pursuant to this Agreement and as to which the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor or the Depositor, as applicable, is entitled to be reimbursed pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, and any fees, costs or expenses related to obtaining a Rating Agency Confirmation and allocated to the Note A Holders, in each case to the extent amounts on deposit in the Collection Account that are allocated to the related Non-Lead Securitization A Note are insufficient for reimbursement of such amounts (which such reimbursement shall be made, if a Non-Lead Securitization A Note has been included in a Non-Lead Securitization, from general collections or any other amounts from such Non-Lead Securitization Trust). Each Non-Lead Securitization Note A 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 Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor 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 Operating 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 that (after application of collections allocable to Note B on deposit in the Collection Account to pay such amounts) amounts on deposit in the Collection Account that are allocated to the related Non-Lead Securitization A Note are insufficient for reimbursement of such amounts, such Non-Lead Securitization Note A 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 the related Non-Lead Securitization A Note has been included in a Non-Lead Securitization, from general collections or any other amounts from such Non-Lead Securitization Trust).

26 

 

A Non-Lead Master Servicer may be required to make P&I Advances on the related Non-Lead Securitization A Note it is servicing, from time to time, subject to the terms of the related 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 be entitled to make their 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, Non-Lead Special Servicer and 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 A Note based on the information that they have on hand and in accordance with the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, and each Non-Lead Master Servicer or Non-Lead Trustee shall be required to notify each other servicer and trustee with respect to a Securitization of the amount of its P&I Advance within two (2) 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 Non-Lead Trustee, as applicable (with respect to a Non-Lead Securitization A 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 Property Protection Advance would be non-recoverable or an outstanding Property Protection 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 such Non-Lead Master Servicer or Non-Lead Trustee (as provided in the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, in the case of a determination of non-recoverability by a Non-Lead Master Servicer, a Non-Lead Special Servicer or a Non-Lead Trustee) shall notify the Master Servicer and the Trustee, or such Non-Lead Master Servicer and such Non-Lead Trustee, as the case may be, within two (2) Business Days of making such determination. Each of the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Non-Lead Master Servicers and the Non-Lead Trustees, as applicable, will only be entitled to reimbursement for a P&I Advance that becomes non-recoverable and advance interest thereon, first, from the Collection Account from amounts allocable to the Note for which all or a portion of such P&I Advance was made and then, if funds are insufficient, (i) in the case of the Lead Securitization Notes, from such other assets and funds of the Lead Securitization Trust as may be made available therefor under the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and (ii) in the case of a Non-Lead Securitization A Note, such other assets and funds of the related Non-Lead Securitization Trust as may be made available therefor under the terms of the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.

(i)            any payments received on the Mortgage Loan shall be paid by the Master Servicer to each of the Noteholders (other than the Noteholders of the Non-Lead Securitization A Notes, to whom remittances shall be made described in clause (viii) below) on the Master Servicer Remittance Date under the Servicing Agreement;

27 

 

(ii)            each Non-Lead Noteholder shall be entitled to receive, and the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall provide access to, any information relating to the Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Loan Borrower or the Mortgaged Property as such Non-Lead Noteholder may reasonably request and would be customarily in the possession of, or collected or known by, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer of mortgage loans similar to the Mortgage Loan and, in any event, all information that is required to be provided to holders of the securities issued by the Lead Securitization Trust but not limited to standard CREFC reports and Asset Status Reports, provided that if an interest in the requesting Noteholder or its related Note is held by a Borrower Party, then such requesting Noteholder shall not be entitled to receive the Asset Status Report or any other information relating to the Special Servicer’s workout strategy or any “excluded information” or analogous term under the Servicing Agreement;

(iii)            each Noteholder is an intended third party beneficiary in respect of the rights afforded it under the Servicing Agreement and may directly enforce such rights;

(iv)            the Servicing Agreement may not be amended without the consent of each Non-Lead Noteholder if such amendment would be materially adverse to such Non-Lead Noteholder or would materially adversely affect the Mortgage Loan or any Non-Lead Noteholder’s rights with respect thereto or would alter any term that is defined herein by reference to the Servicing Agreement in a manner that is materially adverse to a Non-Lead Noteholder;

(v)            the Special Servicer selected by the Controlling Noteholder shall be appointed as the Special Servicer for the Mortgage Loan not later than the earlier of (x) the closing of the Securitization of the Controlling Note or (y) the Mortgage Loan becoming a Specially Serviced Loan under any other Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that such Special Servicer has the Required Special Servicer Rating of, or otherwise be acceptable to, each of the Rating Agencies rating any Securitization of an A Note;

(viii)            the Master Servicer shall remit all payments allocated to the Noteholder of each Non-Lead Securitization A Note pursuant to Section 3, net of the servicing fees payable to the Master Servicer and Special Servicer with respect to such Non-Lead

28 

 

Securitization A Note, and any other applicable fees and reimbursements payable to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, to such Non-Lead Securitization Note A Holder not later than the earlier of (x) the Master Servicer Remittance Date and (y) the Business Day following the “determination date” (or any term substantially similar thereto) as defined in the applicable Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (such determination date, the “Non-Lead Securitization Determination Date”), provided, however, that (a) no remittance is required to be made until one (1) Business Day of receipt of properly identified funds constituting the related Monthly Payment (provided, however, that to the extent any such amounts are received after 3:00 p.m. Eastern time on any given Business Day, the Master Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to remit such amounts within one (1) Business Day of receipt of properly identified funds but, in any event, the Master Servicer shall remit such amounts within two (2) Business Days of receipt of properly identified funds; provided further, however, that in the event the Master Servicer (when otherwise required to remit) is in receipt of properly identified funds that are not available to the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer may instead remit such amounts on the same Business Day that such properly identified funds become available to the Master Servicer); and (b) any late collections received by the Master Servicer after the related due date under the Mortgage Loan shall be remitted by the Master Servicer in accordance with Section 2(e)(xv) below;

and (B) the appointment (or replacement) of a sub-servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan, as contemplated in clause (A) above, will in any event be subject to written confirmation from each Rating Agency that such appointment would not, in and of itself, cause a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then-current ratings assigned to the securities issued in connection with any Securitization.

The foregoing provisions of this Section 5(b) shall not limit or modify the rights of the Controlling Noteholder and/or the Controlling Noteholder Representative 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, Sections 5(f) and 6), if the Servicer in connection with a Workout of the Mortgage Loan modifies the terms thereof in accordance herewith such that (i) the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan is decreased, (ii) the Mortgage Loan Rate or scheduled amortization payments on such Mortgage Loan are reduced, (iii) payments of interest or principal on such Mortgage Loan are waived, reduced or deferred or (iv) any other adjustment (other than an increase in the Mortgage Loan Rate or increase in scheduled amortization payments) is made to any of the terms of the Mortgage Loan, all payments to the Note A Holders and the Note B Holder pursuant to Section 3 and Section 4, as applicable, shall be made as though such Workout did not occur, with the payment terms of Note A remaining the same as they are on the date hereof, 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 Holder, and then, by the Note A Holders (pro rata based on the Principal Balances of their respective Notes), in that order, in each case up to the amount otherwise due on such Note(s). Subject to the Servicing Agreement and this Agreement (including without limitation Sections 5(f) and (6)), in the case of any modification or amendment described above, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) 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 Note B to the A Notes, with respect to the loss that is the result of such amendment or modification, including: (i) the ability to increase the Note A Percentage Interest, and to increase or reduce, as applicable, the Note B 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 Note A Rate and the Note B Rate, as applicable, in order to reflect a reduction in the Mortgage Loan 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 Lead Securitization Noteholder described hereunder may be exercised by the Servicers on behalf of the Lead Securitization Noteholder in accordance with the Servicing Agreement and this Agreement.

43 

 

(e)   If any 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 Notes shall each 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 Noteholders 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 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 Noteholders 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 months after the earliest startup day of any REMIC which includes all or a portion of any A Note. The Noteholders agree that the provisions of this Section 5(e) shall be effected by compliance by the Lead Securitization Noteholder or its assignees with this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement or any other agreement which governs the administration of the Mortgage Loan or the Lead Securitization Noteholder’s interests therein. All costs and expenses of compliance with this Section 5(e), to the extent that such costs and expenses relate to administration of a REMIC or to any determination respecting the amount, payment or avoidance of any tax under the REMIC Provisions or the actual payment of any REMIC tax or expense, shall be borne (without reimbursement under Section 3) by each Noteholder with respect to the REMIC containing the Note owned by such Noteholder.

Anything herein or in the Servicing Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that a Note is included in a REMIC and the other Notes are not, the other Noteholders shall not be required to reimburse such Noteholder that deposited its Note in the REMIC 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 either such other Noteholder be reduced to offset or make-up any such payment or deficit.

(f)    (i) Subject to clauses (ii) or (iii) below, if any consent, modification, amendment or waiver under or other action in respect of the Mortgage Loan (whether or not a Servicing Transfer Event has occurred and is continuing) that would constitute a Major Decision has been requested or proposed or any fact or circumstance has occurred requiring that a Major Decision be made, or if the Master Servicer or Special Servicer otherwise intends to make a Major Decision, then the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall deliver prompt written notice thereof and a Major Decision Reporting Package to the Controlling Noteholder and its Controlling Noteholder Representative, if any, at least ten (10) Business Days (30 days with respect to any proposed modification or waiver of any material provision in the related Mortgage Loan Documents governing the type, nature or amount of insurance coverage required to be obtained and maintained by the Mortgage Loan Borrower) prior to taking action with respect to such Major Decision (or making a determination not to take action with respect to such Major

44 

 

Decision), and none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or any other Person shall implement any decision with respect to such Major Decision (or make a determination not to take action with respect to such Major Decision) unless and until the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, has received the written consent of the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative).

(ii)       If the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, has not received a response from the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative) with respect to such Major Decision within ten (10) Business Days (30 days with respect to any proposed modification or waiver of any material provision in the related Mortgage Loan Documents governing the type, nature or amount of insurance coverage required to be obtained and maintained by the Mortgage Loan Borrower) after delivery of the notice of such Major Decision and the Major Decision Reporting Package, then the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative) will be deemed to have approved such action. Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in subsection (i), in the event that the Special Servicer or Master Servicer (in the event the Master Servicer is otherwise authorized by this Agreement or 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 Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative) in this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, is necessary to protect the interests of the Noteholders (as a collective whole (taking into account the subordinate nature of Note B and the pari passu nature of the A Notes)), the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable may take any such action without waiting for the response of the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative), provided that the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable provides the Controlling Noteholder with prompt written notice following such action including a reasonably detailed explanation of the basis therefor. Similarly, following the occurrence of an extraordinary event with respect to any Mortgaged Property, or if a failure to take any such action at such time would be inconsistent with the Servicing Standard, the Servicer may take actions with respect to the Mortgaged Property before obtaining the consent of the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative) if the Servicer reasonably determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that failure to take such actions prior to such consent would materially and adversely affect the interest of the Noteholders as a collective whole, and the Servicer has made a reasonable effort to contact the Controlling Noteholder. The foregoing shall not relieve the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or a Servicer acting on its behalf) of its duties to comply with the Servicing Standard.

(iii)       Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer acting on its behalf) shall not follow any advice, direction, objection or consultation provided by the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative) that would require or cause the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer acting on its behalf) to violate any applicable law, including the REMIC Provisions, be inconsistent with the Servicing Standard, require or cause the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer acting on its behalf) to violate provisions of this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, require or cause the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer acting on its behalf) to violate the terms of the Mortgage Loan, or materially expand the scope of the Lead Securitization Noteholder’s (or any Servicer acting on its behalf) responsibilities under this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement.

45 

 

The Special Servicer shall be required to provide copies to each Non-Controlling Note A Holder of any notice, information and report that is required to be provided to the Controlling Noteholder pursuant to the Servicing Agreement with respect to any Major Decisions or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report within the same time frame such notice, information and report is required to be provided to the Controlling Noteholder, and the Special Servicer shall be required to consult with each Non-Controlling Note A Holder on a strictly non-binding basis, to the extent having received such notices, information and reports, any Non-Controlling Note A Holder requests consultation with respect to any such Major Decisions or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report, and consider alternative actions recommended by such Non-Controlling Note A Holder; provided that after the expiration of a period of ten (10) Business Days from the delivery to any Non-Controlling Note A Holder by the Special Servicer of written notice of a proposed action, together with copies of the notice, information and reports, the Special Servicer shall no longer be obligated to consult with such Non-Controlling Note A Holder, whether or not such Non-Controlling Note A Holder has responded within such ten (10) Business Day period (unless, the Special Servicer proposes a new course of action that is materially different from the action previously proposed, in which case such ten (10) Business Day period shall be deemed to begin anew from the date of such proposal and delivery of all information relating thereto). No consultation of the Non-Controlling Note A Holder shall (a) require or cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to violate the terms of the Mortgage Loan, applicable law or any provision of this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, including the Master Servicer’s or 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 a breach of Section 5(e) or (c) materially expand the scope of the Special Servicer’s, Trustee’s, the Certificate Administrator’s or the Master Servicer’s responsibilities under this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding the consultation rights of the related Non-Controlling Note A Holder set forth above, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer 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 such Master Servicer or Special Servicer determines that immediate action with respect thereto is necessary to protect the interests of the Noteholders. After a Securitization of any A Note, references in this paragraph to a Non-Controlling Note A Holder as such term relates to such A Note shall mean the related Non-Controlling Note A Subordinate Class Representative.

In addition to the consultation rights provided in the immediately preceding paragraph, each Non-Controlling Note A Holder shall have the right to attend annual meetings (which may be held telephonically or in person, at the discretion of the Servicer) with the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf), 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.

The Noteholders acknowledge that the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement may contain certain provisions that give the Operating Advisor or Risk Retention Consultation Party certain non-binding consultation rights with respect to Major Decisions and other events related to compliance with the Risk Retention Rules applicable to the Lead Securitization.

46 

 

(g)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, for so long as Note B is included in the Lead Securitization, the provisions of this subsection (g) shall not have any force or effect.

The Note B Holder shall be entitled to avoid a Control Appraisal Period caused by application of an Appraisal Reduction Amount upon satisfaction of the following (which must be completed within thirty (30) days of receipt of a third party Appraisal ordered by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer that indicates such Control Appraisal Period has occurred (which such Appraisal the Special Servicer will be required to deliver to the Note B Holder within two Business Days of receipt by the Special Servicer of such third party Appraisal) together with the Master Servicer’s calculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount applicable to Note B): (i) the Note B Holder shall have delivered Threshold Event Collateral as a supplement to the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property, in the amount specified in clause (ii) below, to the Servicer, together with documentation acceptable to the Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard to create and perfect a first priority security interest in favor of the Servicer on behalf of the Lead Securitization Noteholder in (a) cash collateral for the benefit of, and acceptable to, the Servicer or (b) an unconditional and irrevocable standby letter of credit with the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or after the closing of the Lead Securitization, the Servicer or such other party as provided under the Servicing Agreement) as the beneficiary, issued by a bank or other financial institutions the long term unsecured debt obligations of which are rated at least “AA” by S&P, “A” by Fitch and “Aa2” by Moody’s or the short term obligations of which are rated at least “A-1+” by S&P, “F-1” by Fitch and “P-1” by Moody’s, in each case ignoring any of the foregoing ratings requirements with respect to any rating agency that is not one of the Rating Agencies (either (a) or (b), the “Threshold Event Collateral”), and (ii) the Threshold Event Collateral shall be in an amount which, when added to the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property as determined pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, would cause the applicable Control Appraisal Period not to occur. If the requirements of this paragraph are satisfied by the Note B Holder (a “Threshold Event Cure”), no Control Appraisal Period caused by application of an Appraisal Reduction Amount shall be deemed to have occurred with respect to the Note B Holder. If a letter of credit is furnished as Threshold Event Collateral, the Note B Holder shall be required to renew such letter of credit not later than thirty (30) days prior to expiration thereof or to replace such letter of credit with a substitute letter of credit or other Threshold Event Collateral with an expiration date that is greater than forty-five (45) days from the date of substitution; provided, however, that, if a letter of credit is not renewed prior to thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of such letter of credit, the letter of credit shall provide that the Servicer may (and at the direction of the applicable Controlling Noteholder, shall) draw upon such letter of credit and hold the proceeds thereof as Threshold Event Collateral. If a letter of credit is furnished as Threshold Event Collateral, the Note B Holder shall be required to replace such letter of credit with other Threshold Event Collateral within 30 days if the credit ratings of the issuing entity are downgraded below the required ratings; provided, however, that, if such Threshold Event Collateral is not so replaced, the Servicer shall draw upon such letter of credit and hold the proceeds thereof as Threshold Event Collateral. The Threshold Event Cure shall continue until (i) the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property plus the value of the Threshold Event Collateral would not be sufficient to prevent the applicable Control Appraisal Period from occurring; (ii) the occurrence of a Final Recovery Determination or (iii) the return of the Threshold Event Collateral pursuant to the following sentence. If the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property, upon any redetermination thereof, is sufficient to avoid the occurrence of a Control Appraisal Period without taking into consideration any, or some portion of, Threshold

47 

 

Event Collateral previously delivered by the Note B Holder, any or such portion of Threshold Event Collateral held by the Servicer shall promptly be returned to the Note B Holder (at its sole expense). Upon a Final Recovery Determination with respect to the Mortgage Loan, such Threshold Event Collateral shall be available to reimburse each Noteholder for any realized loss pursuant to Sections 3 or 4, as applicable, with respect to the Mortgage Loan after application of the net proceeds of liquidation, not in excess of the Note A Principal Balance and the Note B Principal Balance, as the case may be, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the applicable interest rate and all other Additional Servicing Expenses reimbursable under this Agreement and under the Servicing Agreement. Any Threshold Event Collateral shall be treated as an “outside reserve fund” for purposes of the REMIC Provisions and such property (and the right to reimbursement of any amounts with respect thereto from a REMIC) shall be beneficially owned by the posting Noteholder who shall be taxed on all income with respect thereto. The entire amount of Threshold Event Collateral, without a haircut or other reduction, shall be considered in determining the sufficiency of such Threshold Event Collateral to avoid a Control Appraisal Period.

(h)   Regardless of whether a Control Appraisal Period is in effect with respect to Note B, each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall provide to the Note B Holder copies of all notices, reports and information that the Servicing Agreement requires such Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, to provide to the Controlling Noteholder during such time as no Control Appraisal Period is in effect.

(i)     The Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall obtain appraisals that meet the requirements of, and at the times required pursuant to, the terms of the Servicing Agreement.

(j)     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Servicing Agreement, if at any time a Borrower Party is a Noteholder (a “Borrower Party Noteholder”), then (i) such Borrower Party Noteholder shall not have any rights as a Controlling Noteholder (or a Controlling Class Representative) or as a Non-Controlling Note A Holder (or a Non-Controlling Note A Subordinate Class Representative), (ii) such Borrower Party Noteholder shall have no right to appoint or terminate the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, (iii) such Borrower Party Noteholder shall have no right to consult with or advise the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, and shall have no right to review and approve or comment on any Asset Status Report and (iv) in each and every instance where, pursuant to this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer must take into account the interests of each Noteholder (or words of similar import), such consideration shall be given to the Borrower Party Noteholder only in its capacity as a holder of the applicable Note.

(k)   If an Event of Default under the Mortgage Loan has occurred and is continuing, the Special Servicer may, in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Servicing Agreement and subject to the Servicing Standard, elect to sell (1) if no Control Appraisal Period has occurred and is continuing, the Mortgage Loan, subject to obtaining the consent (or deemed consent) of the Note B Holder under Section 5(f), in which case such sale would include each of the A Notes and Note B, or (2) if a Control Appraisal Period has occurred and is continuing, each of the A Notes and Note B, subject to obtaining the consent (or deemed consent) of the Controlling Noteholder under Section 5(f), unless a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, and without obtaining the consent (or deemed consent) of the Note B Holder.

48 

 

Each Non-Lead Noteholder hereby appoints the Lead Securitization Noteholder as its agent, and grants to the Lead Securitization Noteholder 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 its respective Non-Lead Note. Each Non-Lead Noteholder further agrees that, upon the request of the Lead Securitization Noteholder, the Non-Lead Noteholder shall execute and deliver to or at the direction of the Lead Securitization Noteholder such powers of attorney or other instruments as the Lead Securitization Noteholder may reasonably request to better assure and evidence the foregoing appointment and grant, in each case promptly following request, and shall deliver its respective original Non-Lead Note, endorsed in blank, to or at the direction of the Lead Securitization Noteholder in connection with the consummation of any such sale. For the avoidance of doubt, this paragraph is subject to the consent right of the Controlling Noteholder in the immediately preceding paragraph.

The authority of the Lead Securitization Noteholder to sell a Non-Lead Note, and the obligations of a Non-Lead Noteholder to execute and deliver instruments or deliver the Non-Lead Note upon request of the Lead Securitization Noteholder, 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 Person that sold such Lead Securitization Note into the Lead Securitization from the Lead Securitization Trust in connection with a material breach of representation or warranty made by such Person with respect to the Lead Securitization Note or material document defect with respect to the documents delivered by such Person with respect to the Lead Securitization Note upon the consummation of the Lead Securitization. The preceding sentence shall not be construed to grant to any Non-Lead Noteholder the benefit of any representation or warranty made by the Person that sold such Lead Securitization Note into the Lead Securitization or any document delivery obligation imposed on such Person under any mortgage loan purchase and sale agreement, instrument of transfer or other document or instrument that may be executed or delivered by such Person in connection with the Lead Securitization.

Section 6.                Appointment of Controlling Noteholder Representative.

(a)   The Controlling Noteholder shall have the right at any time to appoint a controlling noteholder representative to exercise its rights hereunder (the “Controlling Noteholder Representative”). The Controlling Noteholder shall have the right in its sole discretion at any time and from time to time to remove and replace the Controlling Noteholder Representative. When exercising its various rights under Section 5 and elsewhere in this Agreement, the Controlling Noteholder may, at its option, in each case, act through the Controlling Noteholder Representative. The Controlling Noteholder Representative may be any Person (other than a Borrower Party), including, without limitation, the Controlling Noteholder, any officer or employee of the Controlling Noteholder, any Affiliate of the Controlling Noteholder or any other unrelated third party. No such Controlling Noteholder Representative shall owe any fiduciary duty or other duty to any other Person (other than the Controlling Noteholder). All actions that are permitted to be taken by the Controlling Noteholder under this Agreement may be taken by the Controlling Noteholder Representative acting on behalf of the Controlling Noteholder and other Noteholders (and any Servicer) will accept such actions of the Controlling Noteholder Representative as actions of the Controlling Noteholder. The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer on its behalf) shall not be required to recognize any Person as a Controlling Noteholder Representative until the Controlling Noteholder has notified the Lead Securitization Noteholder (and any Servicer) of such

49 

 

appointment and, if the Controlling Noteholder Representative is not the same Person as the Controlling Noteholder, the Controlling Noteholder Representative provides the Lead Securitization Noteholder (and any Servicer) with written confirmation of its acceptance of such appointment, an address, any fax number and any email address 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, telephone numbers, any fax numbers and any email addresses). The Controlling Noteholder shall promptly deliver such information to any Servicer. None of the Servicers, Operating Advisor and Trustee shall be required to recognize any person as a Controlling Noteholder Representative until they receive such information from the Controlling Noteholder. The Controlling Noteholder agrees to inform each such Servicer or Trustee of the then-current Controlling Noteholder Representative.

(b)   Neither the Controlling Noteholder Representative nor the Controlling Noteholder will have any liability to any other Noteholder or any other Person for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action pursuant to this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, or for errors in judgment, absent any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence. The Noteholders agree that the Controlling Noteholder Representative and the Controlling Noteholder may take or refrain from taking actions that favor the interests of one Noteholder over any other Noteholder, and that the Controlling Noteholder Representative may have special relationships and interests that conflict with the interests of a Noteholder and, absent willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of the Controlling Noteholder Representative or such Controlling Noteholder, as the case may be, agree to take no action against the Controlling Noteholder Representative, such Controlling Noteholder 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 Noteholder Representative nor such Controlling Noteholder 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 solely in the interests of any Noteholder.

(c)   If the Note A-2-1 Holder is the Controlling Noteholder and Note A-2-1 (or a portion thereof) is included in a Securitization, each of the other Noteholders acknowledges and agrees all of the aforementioned rights and obligations of the Controlling Noteholder and the Controlling Noteholder Representative set forth in Section 5(f) and 5(g) and this Section 6 shall be exercisable by the Controlling Class Representative (or the applicable Person specified in the Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement for the Note A-2-1 Securitization) to the extent set forth in the Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement for the Note A-2-1 Securitization.

Section 7.                Special Servicer. The Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative), at its expense (including, without limitation, the reasonable costs and expenses of counsel to any third parties and costs and expenses of the terminated Special Servicer), shall have the right, at any time from time to time, to appoint a replacement Special Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan. The Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative) shall be entitled to terminate the rights and obligations of any Special Servicer under the Servicing Agreement, with or without cause, upon at least ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Special Servicer (provided, however, that the Controlling Noteholder and/or Controlling Noteholder Representative shall not be liable for any termination or similar fee in

50 

 

connection with the removal of the Special Servicer in accordance with this Section 7); such termination not to be effective unless and until (A) each Rating Agency delivers a Rating Agency Confirmation (to the extent any portion of the Mortgage Loan has been securitized); (B) the successor Special Servicer has assumed in writing (from and after the date such successor Special Servicer becomes the Special Servicer) all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Special Servicer under the Servicing Agreement from and after the date it becomes the Special Servicer as they relate to the Mortgage Loan pursuant to an assumption agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; and (C) the Trustee shall have received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee to the effect that (x) the designation of such replacement to serve as Special Servicer is in compliance with the Servicing Agreement, (y) such replacement will be bound by the terms of the Servicing Agreement with respect to such Mortgage Loan and (z) subject to customary qualifications and exceptions, the applicable Servicing Agreement will be enforceable against such replacement in accordance with its terms. The Lead Securitization Noteholder shall promptly provide copies to any terminated Special Servicer of the documents referred to in the preceding sentence. The Lead Securitization Noteholder will reasonably cooperate with the Controlling Noteholder in order to satisfy the foregoing conditions, including the Rating Agency Confirmation.

The Controlling Noteholder agrees and acknowledges that the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement may contain provisions to the effect that any Special Servicer is subject to termination under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement based on a recommendation by the Operating Advisor if (A) the Operating Advisor determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that (1) the Special Servicer has failed to comply with the Servicing Standard and (2) a replacement of the Special Servicer would be in the best interest of the holders of securities issued under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (as a collective whole) and (B) an affirmative vote of requisite certificateholders is obtained. The Controlling Noteholder will retain its right to remove and replace the Special Servicer, but the Controlling Noteholder may not restore a Special Servicer that has been removed in accordance with the preceding sentence.

Section 8.                Payment Procedure.

(a)   The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Master Servicer on its behalf), in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 3 or 4, and subject to the terms of the Servicing Agreement, will deposit or cause to be deposited all payments allocable to the Notes to the Collection Account established pursuant to the Servicing Agreement. The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Master Servicer on its behalf) shall establish sub-accounts of the Collection Account for amounts due to each Noteholder. The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Master Servicer acting on its behalf) shall deposit such amounts to the applicable account within two (2) Business Days following the Lead Securitization Noteholder’s (or the Master Servicer’s acting on its behalf) receipt of properly identified funds from or on behalf of the Mortgage Loan Borrower; provided, however, that in the event the Master Servicer (when otherwise required to remit) is in receipt of properly identified funds that are not available to the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer may instead deposit such amounts into the Collection Account on the same Business Day that such properly identified funds become available to the Master Servicer.

(b)   If the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) determines, or a court of competent jurisdiction orders, at any time that any amount received or collected in

51 

 

respect of a Note must, pursuant to any insolvency, bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, preference or similar law, be returned to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or paid to such Noteholder or any Servicer or paid to any other Person, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall not be required to distribute any portion thereof to such Noteholder and such Noteholder will promptly on demand by the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) repay to the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) any portion thereof that the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall have theretofore distributed to such Noteholder, together with interest thereon at such rate, if any, as the Lead Securitization Noteholder shall have been required to pay to the Mortgage Loan Borrower, the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, any other Noteholder or such other Person with respect thereto.

(c)   If, for any reason, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) makes any payment to any other Noteholder before the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) has received the corresponding payment (it being understood that the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) is under no obligation to do so), and the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) does not receive the corresponding payment within three (3) Business Days of its payment to such other Noteholder, then such other Noteholder will, at the Lead Securitization Noteholder’s (or the Servicer’s on its behalf) request, promptly return that payment to the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf).

(d)   Each Noteholder 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 Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) for application subject to and in accordance with this Agreement and the Servicing. The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall have the right to offset any amounts due hereunder from any other Noteholder, as applicable, with respect to the Mortgage Loan against any future payments due to such other Noteholder, as applicable, under the Mortgage Loan, provided, that each Noteholder’s obligations under this Section 8 are separate and distinct obligations from one another and in no event shall the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) enforce the obligations of one Noteholder against another Noteholder. Each Noteholder’s obligations under this Section 8 constitute absolute, unconditional and continuing obligations.

Section 9.                Limitation on Liability of the Noteholders. No Noteholder (including any Servicer on a Noteholder’s behalf, but only to the extent that the Servicing Agreement does not impose any other standard upon any Servicer, in which case the Servicing Agreement shall control) shall have any liability to any other Noteholder except with respect to losses actually suffered due to the gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement on the part of such Noteholder.

The Note B Holder acknowledges that, subject to the terms and conditions hereof and the obligation of the Lead Securitization Noteholder (including any Servicer) to comply with, and except as otherwise required by, the Servicing Standard, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (including any Servicer) may exercise, or omit to exercise, any rights that the Lead Securitization Noteholder may have under this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement in a manner that may be

adverse to the interests of the Note B Holder and that the Lead Securitization Noteholder (including any Servicer) shall have no liability whatsoever to the Note B Holder in connection with the Lead Securitization Noteholder’s exercise of rights or any omission by the Lead Securitization Noteholder to exercise such rights other than as described above; provided, however, that such Servicer must act in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

Each Noteholder acknowledges that, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, any other Noteholder may exercise, or omit to exercise, any rights that such Noteholder may have under this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement in a manner that may be adverse to the interests of each other Noteholder and that such Noteholder shall have no liability whatsoever to any other Noteholder in connection with such Noteholder’s exercise of rights or any omission by such Noteholder to exercise such rights; provided, however, that such Noteholder shall not be protected against any liability to any other Noteholder that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence.

Section 10.            Bankruptcy. Subject to the provisions of Section 5(f) hereof and the Servicing Standard, each Noteholder hereby covenants and agrees that only the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) 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.

Section 11.            Cure Rights of the Note B Holder.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, for so long as Note B is included in the Lead Securitization, the provisions of this Section 11 shall not have any force or effect.

(a)   Subject to Section 11(b) below, and prior to a Control Appraisal Period, in the event that the Mortgage Loan Borrower fails to make any payment of principal or interest on the Mortgage Loan by the end of the applicable grace period for such payment permitted under the applicable Mortgage Loan Documents (a “Monetary Default”), the Lead Securitization Noteholder shall provide written notice to the Note B Holder and the Controlling Noteholder Representative of such default (the “Monetary Default Notice”). The Note B Holder shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure such Monetary Default within seven (7) Business Days after receiving the Monetary Default Notice (the “Cure Period”) and at no other times. The Monetary Default Notice shall contain a statement that the Note B Holder’s or the Controlling Noteholder Representative’s failure to cure such Monetary Default within seven (7) Business Days after receiving such notice will result in the termination of the right to cure such Monetary Default. At the time a payment is made by the Note B Holder to cure a Monetary Default, the Note B Holder shall pay or reimburse the Note A Holder for all unreimbursed Advances (whether or not recoverable with respect to any Note), Advance Interest Amounts, any unpaid fees to any Servicer and any Additional Servicing Expenses. The Note B Holder shall not be required, in order to effect a cure hereunder, to pay any default interest or late charges under the Mortgage 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 Lead Securitization 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 Loan); provided that such limitation shall not prevent the Lead Securitization Noteholder from collecting Default Interest or late charges from the Mortgage Loan Borrower to be applied in accordance with this Agreement. 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 Note B Holder’s right to cure a Monetary Default or Non-Monetary Default under Section 11(a) shall be limited to a combined total of (i) six (6) cures of Monetary Defaults over the term of the Mortgage Loan, no more than four (4) of which may be consecutive, and (ii) six (6) cures of Non-Monetary Defaults over the term of the Mortgage Loan. Additional cure periods shall only be permitted with the consent of the Lead Securitization Noteholder.

(c)   No action taken by the Note B Holder in accordance with this Agreement shall excuse performance by the Mortgage Loan Borrower of its obligations under the Mortgage Loan Documents and the Note A Holders’ respective rights under the Mortgage Loan Documents shall not be waived or prejudiced by virtue of the Note B Holder’s actions under this Agreement. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Note B Holder shall be subrogated to the Note A Holders’ respective rights to any payment owing to such Note A Holders for which the Note B

54 

 

Holder makes a cure payment as permitted under this Section 11, but such subrogation rights may not be exercised against the Mortgage Loan Borrower until ninety-one (91) days after the Note is paid in full.

(d)   Prior to a Control Appraisal Period, if an Event of Default (other than a Monetary Default) occurs and is continuing under the Mortgage Loan Documents (a “Non-Monetary Default”), the Lead Securitization Noteholder shall provide notice of such Non-Monetary Default to the Note B Holder and the Controlling Noteholder Representative of such Non-Monetary Default (the “Non-Monetary Default Notice”) and the Note B Holder shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure such Non-Monetary Default until the later of (a) the expiration date of the cure period afforded to the Mortgage Loan Borrower under the Mortgage Loan Documents, without regard for the date of receipt by the Note B Holder of the Non-Monetary Default Notice, and (b) the date which is thirty (30) days from the date of receipt by the Note B Holder of the Non-Monetary Default Notice related to 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 Note B Holder, the Note B Holder (unless a Control Appraisal Period has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Note B Holder) shall be given an additional period of time as is reasonably necessary to enable the Note B Holder in the exercise of due diligence to cure such Non-Monetary Default for so long as (i) the Note B Holder diligently and expeditiously proceeds to cure such Non-Monetary Default, (ii) the Note B Holder makes all cure payments that they are permitted to make in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 11(a) hereof, (iii) such additional period of time does not exceed ninety (90) days, (iv) such Non-Monetary Default is not caused by an Insolvency Proceeding or during such period of time that the Note B Holder 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 value, use or operation of the Mortgaged Property taken as whole. The Non-Monetary Default Notice shall contain a statement that the Note B Holder’s or the Controlling Noteholder Representative’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. The Note B Holder shall not contact the Mortgage Loan Borrower in order to effect any cures under Section 11(a) or this Section 11(d) without the prior written consent of the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf), such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Section 12.            Purchase By the Note B Holder.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, for so long as Note B is included in the Lead Securitization, the provisions of this Section 12 shall not have any force or effect.

The Note B Holder shall have the right, by written notice to (x) the Note A Holder (a “Noteholder Purchase Notice”; the sender(s) of such notice, the “Purchasing Noteholder”; and each recipient of such notice, a “Selling Noteholder”), delivered at any time an Event of Default under the Mortgage Loan or a Servicing Transfer Event has occurred and is continuing, to purchase, in immediately available funds, Note A (for the purposes of this Section 12, the

55 

 

Purchased Note”), in whole but not in part at the applicable Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Price. For avoidance of doubt, if the Note B elects to send a Noteholder Purchase Notice pursuant to this Section 12, it/they must purchase the applicable Purchased Note(s). Upon the delivery of the Noteholder Purchase Notice to the Selling Noteholder(s), the Selling Noteholder shall sell (and the Purchasing Noteholder shall purchase) the Purchased Note(s) at the applicable Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Price, on a date (the “Defaulted Note Purchase Date”) not less than ten (10) days and not more than sixty (60) days after the date of the Noteholder Purchase Notice, as shall be mutually established by the Purchasing Noteholder and the Selling Noteholder(s). The Noteholder Purchase Notice shall contain a statement that the Purchasing Noteholder’s failure to purchase the Purchased Note(s) on a Defaulted Note Purchase Date (other than as a result of any failure to consummate such purchase on the part of the Selling Noteholder or as a result of the conditions giving rise to such purchase ceasing to exist) will result in the termination of such right in respect of the Event of Default that caused such purchase right to be exercisable and not in respect of any other Event of Default. The Note B Holder agrees that the sale of any Purchased Notes to it shall comply with all requirements of the Servicing Agreement and that all actual costs and expenses related thereto shall be paid by the applicable Purchasing Noteholder. The Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Price shall be calculated by the Selling Noteholder(s) (or the Servicer on its or their 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 reasonably detailed back-up documentation explaining how such price was determined), and shall, absent manifest error, be binding upon the Purchasing Noteholder. Concurrently with the payment to the Selling Noteholder(s) in immediately available funds of the Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Price, the Selling Noteholder(s) shall execute at the sole cost and expense of the Purchasing Noteholder in favor of the Purchasing Noteholder assignment documentation which will assign the Purchased Note(s) and the Mortgage Loan Documents without recourse, representations or warranties (except each Selling Noteholder 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 its Note and all of its right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loan Documents free and clear of all liens and encumbrances (other than the interest created by the Note(s) that are not the Purchased Note(s))). The right of the Note B Holder to purchase one or more Notes as set forth above in this Section 12 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 Lead Securitization Noteholder shall give the Note B Holder ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice of its intent with respect to such action (which such action shall be subject to Section 5 hereof)). Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if title to the Mortgaged Property is transferred to the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or a designee on its behalf), in a manner commonly known as “the borrower turning over the keys” and not otherwise in connection with a consummation by the Lead Securitization Noteholder of a foreclosure sale or sale by power of sale or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, less than ten (10) Business Days after the acceleration of the Mortgage Loan, the Lead Securitization Noteholder shall notify the Note B Holder of such transfer and the Note B Holder shall have a fifteen (15) Business Day period from the date of such notice from the Lead Securitization Noteholder to deliver the Noteholder Purchase Notice to the Lead Securitization Noteholder, in which case the Note B Holder shall be obligated to purchase the Mortgaged Property, in immediately available funds, within such fifteen (15) Business Day period at the applicable Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Price.

No Noteholder shall have any obligation whatsoever to offer to any other Noteholder the opportunity to purchase any future loan originated by such Noteholder or its Affiliates and if any Noteholder chooses to offer to any other Noteholder the opportunity to purchase any future mortgage loan originated by such Noteholder or its Affiliates, such offer shall be at such purchase price and interest rate as such Noteholder chooses, in its sole and absolute discretion.

Section 19.            Sale of the Notes.

(a)   The Note B Holder agrees that it will not Transfer all or any portion of its Note except in accordance with this Section 19. The Note B Holder shall have the right, without the need to obtain the consent of any Note A Holder or any other Person, to Transfer 49% or less (in the aggregate) of its interest in its Note to any Person, provided that any such Transfer shall be made in accordance with the terms of this Section 19. The Note B Holder shall have the right to Transfer its entire Note or any portion thereof exceeding 49%, (i) to a Qualified Institutional Lender, provided, that promptly after the Transfer the Note A Holders are provided with (x) a representation from a transferee or the Note B Holder certifying that such transferee is a Qualified Institutional Lender, and (y) a copy of the assignment and assumption agreement referred to in Section 20 and provided further, that such transfer would not cause such Note to be held by more than five persons nor cause there to be no one person owning a majority of such Note and (ii) to an entity that is not a Qualified Institutional Lender, provided that with respect to this clause (ii), the Note B Holder obtains (1) prior to the Lead Securitization Date, the consent of the Note A-1 Holder, each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and (2) after the Lead Securitization Date, Rating Agency Confirmation (and for avoidance of doubt, no consent of the Lead Securitization Noteholder shall be required after the closing of the Lead Securitization); provided that in each of case (1) and (2), (x) promptly after the Transfer the Note A Holders are each provided with a copy of the assignment and assumption agreement referred to in Section 20 and (y) such transfer would not cause the subject Note to be held by more than five persons; and provided further, however, that if such transfer would cause there to be no one person owning a majority of the subject Note, then such transfer will not be permitted unless persons owning a majority of the subject Note designate one of such persons to act on behalf of such persons owning such majority. If the subject Note is held by more than one Noteholder at any time, the holders of a majority of the Note B Principal Balance shall immediately appoint a representative to exercise all rights of the Note B Holder hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the Lead Securitization Noteholder’s prior consent, which may be withheld in the Lead Securitization Noteholder’s sole and absolute discretion, the Note B Holder shall not Transfer all or any portion of its Note to a Borrower Party and any such Transfer shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. The Note B Holder agrees it will pay the expenses of the Lead Securitization Noteholder (including all expenses of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer) and the Non-Lead Securitization Note A Holders (including all expenses of the related Non-Lead Master Servicer and the related Non-Lead Special Servicer) in connection with any such Transfer.

(b)   All Transfers under Section 19(a) shall be made upon written notice to the Note A Holders 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 Note B Holder hereunder with respect to its Note from

59 

 

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 Note B Holder of its Note solely as security for a loan to the Note B Holder made by a third-party lender whereby the Note B Holder remains fully liable under this Agreement, on or before the date on which such third-party lender succeeds to the rights of the Note B Holder 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 Note B Holder 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 Note B in accordance with this Agreement, the transferring Person shall be released from all liability arising under this Agreement with respect to Note B (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 Note B as described in clause (c) below). In connection with any such permitted transfer of a portion of Note B and for all purposes of this Agreement, the Note A Holders need only recognize the majority holder of Note B for purposes of notices, consents and other communications between a Note A Holder and such majority holder of Note B shall be the only Person authorized hereunder to exercise any rights of the Note B Holder under this Agreement; provided, however, the majority holder of Note B 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 Note B Holder hereunder by delivering written notice thereof to the Note A Holders, 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 Noteholders and any Persons acting on their 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 Noteholders a certification from an authorized officer confirming its status as a Qualified Institutional Lender), such Noteholder, by written notice to the other Noteholders, may delegate to such participant such Noteholder’s right to exercise the rights of the Controlling Noteholder hereunder and under the Servicing Agreement.

(d)   Each of the Note A Holders shall have the right to Transfer all or any portion of its Note without the prior consent of any other Noteholder (i) prior to an Event of Default, to any party other than a Borrower Party and (ii) after an Event of Default, to any party, including a Borrower Party; provided, however, that following any Event of Default under the Mortgage Loan, a Note A Holder may only transfer all or any portion of its Note to a Borrower Party with the prior written consent of the Controlling Noteholder at any time when such Note A Holder is not the Controlling Noteholder; provided further, however, that following any Transfer of any A Note, the

60 

 

Mortgage Loan continues to be serviced in its entirety pursuant to the Servicing Agreement by a Servicer unaffiliated with Mortgage Loan Borrower. For the avoidance of doubt, subject to Section 12, no Noteholder or the Servicer shall have any right to Transfer or cause the Transfer of any other Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without each non-transferring Note A Holder’s prior consent, and, if any such non-transferring Note A Holder’s Note or any portion thereof is held in a Securitization Trust, without a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to the related Securitization, no Noteholder shall Transfer its Note or any portion thereof (or a participation interest in such Note) to a Borrower Party and any such Transfer shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee.

(e)   Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, any Noteholder may pledge (a “Pledge”) its Note to any entity (other than a Borrower Party) which has extended a credit or repurchase facility to such Noteholder and that is (x) 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 (y) to any Federal Reserve Bank or Federal Home Loan Bank to secure any obligation of such Noteholder to such bank and such pledge shall be enforceable in accordance with the terms thereof (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) prior to the first Securitization of any Note, the consent of each other Noteholder and (b) after the closing of the first Securitization of any Note, Rating Agency Confirmation. Upon written notice by the applicable Noteholder to each other Noteholder and any Servicer that a Pledge has been effected (including the name and address of the applicable Note Pledgee), each other Noteholder 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) Business Days to cure a default by the pledging Noteholder in respect of its obligations to each 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 each other Noteholder 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

61 

 

pursuant to this Agreement or any Servicing Agreement. Any pledging Noteholder hereby unconditionally and absolutely releases each other Noteholder 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 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 made by the Conduit (the “Conduit Inventory Loan”) 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

62 

 

otherwise, than would any other purchaser that is not a Qualified Institutional Lender at a foreclosure sale conducted by a Note Pledgee.

Section 20.            Assignment and Assumption Upon Transfer. In connection with any Transfer of a Note to any entity (but excluding (x) any participant and (y) any 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 restrictions on Transfers set forth in Section 19, from and after the date of such assignment. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, neither the Trustee nor any Non-Lead Trustee shall 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 Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement or a Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, as the case may be. In connection with a Transfer of a Note, 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.

Section 21.            Registration of the Notes. 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, and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Note owing to each such Noteholder, 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 Noteholders 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 Noteholders hereby designate such person as their agent under this Section 21 solely for purposes of maintaining the Note Register. The parties intend for the Mortgage Loan to be in registered form for federal income tax purposes under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.

Section 22.            Statement of Intent. The Agent and each Noteholder intend that the Notes be classified, and the arrangement hereby be maintained, in a manner consistent with rules applicable to 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 between the parties.

Section 23.            No Pledge. This Agreement shall not be deemed to represent a pledge of any interest in the Mortgage Loan by any one or more Noteholders to any one or more other Noteholders. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement,

63 

 

no Non-Lead Noteholder shall have any interest in any property taken as security for the Mortgage Loan, provided, however, that if any such property or the proceeds of any sale, lease or other disposition thereof shall be received, then each Non-Lead Noteholder shall be entitled to receive its share of the application thereof in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and/or the Servicing Agreement.

Section 24.            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 DUTIES 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 25.            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 SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, 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 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.

 

64 

 

Section 26.            Modifications; Amendment. This Agreement shall not be modified, cancelled or terminated except by an instrument in writing signed by each Noteholder. Additionally, for as long as any Note is contained in a Securitization Trust, the Noteholders 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 or amendment (i) to cure any ambiguity, or (ii) entered into pursuant to Section 38 of this Agreement or (iii) to correct or supplement any provision herein that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions of this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement.

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 applicable Noteholder hereunder, including, without limitation, the right to make further assignments.

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. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement in Portable Document Format (PDF) or by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed original counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 29.            Captions. The titles and headings of the paragraphs of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to summarize or otherwise describe the subject matter of the paragraphs and shall not be given any consideration in the construction of this Agreement.

Section 30.            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 31.            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 32.            Withholding Taxes.

(a)   If the Lead Securitization 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 Note B Holder with respect to the Mortgage Loan as a result of the Note B Holder constituting a Non-Exempt Person, the Lead Securitization Noteholder, or the Servicer on its behalf, shall be entitled to do so with respect to the Note B Holder’s interest in such payment (all withheld amounts being deemed paid to the Note B Holder), provided that the Lead Securitization Noteholder shall furnish the Note B Holder with a statement setting forth the amount of Taxes withheld, the

65 

 

applicable rate and other information which may reasonably be requested for purposes of assisting the Note B Holder to seek any allowable credits or deductions for the Taxes so withheld in each jurisdiction in which the Note B Holder is subject to tax.

(b)   The Note B Holder shall and hereby agrees to indemnify the Lead Securitization Noteholder against and hold the Lead Securitization Noteholder harmless from and against any Taxes, interest, penalties and reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements arising or resulting from any failure of the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) to withhold Taxes from payment made to the Note B Holder in reliance upon any representation, certificate, statement, document or instrument made or provided by the Note B Holder to the Lead Securitization Noteholder in connection with the obligation of the Lead Securitization Noteholder to withhold Taxes from payments made to the Note B Holder, it being expressly understood and agreed that (i) the Lead Securitization 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 Note B Holder shall, upon request of the Lead Securitization Noteholder, at its sole cost and expense, defend any claim or action relating to the foregoing indemnification using counsel selected by the Lead Securitization.

(c)   The Note B Holder (to the extent it is not the same entity as the Lead Securitization Noteholder) represents (for the benefit of the Mortgage Loan Borrower) that it is not a Non-Exempt Person and that neither the Lead Securitization 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 reasonably requested by the Lead Securitization Noteholder or Servicer during the term of this Agreement, the Note B Holder shall deliver to the Lead Securitization Noteholder or Servicer, as applicable, evidence satisfactory to the Lead Securitization Noteholder substantiating that the Note B Holder is not a Non-Exempt Person and that the Lead Securitization 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, it being acknowledged by the parties hereto that delivery of a certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D shall be satisfactory evidence that the Note B Holder is not a Non-Exempt Person. Without limiting the effect of the foregoing, (i) if the Note B Holder (or, if the Note B Holder is disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the owner of the Note B 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 Noteholder an Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 and (ii) if the Note B Holder (or, if the Note B Holder is disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the owner of the Note B 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, the Note B Holder shall satisfy the requirements of the preceding sentence by furnishing to the Lead Securitization Noteholder Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8IMY (with appropriate attachments), Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E, or applicable successor forms, as may be required from time to time, duly executed by the Note B Holder; provided that the Note B Holder, without request, shall deliver a new, appropriately completed

66 

 

Form W-8 if the Note B Holder’s current Form W-8 “expires” or if there is a “change in circumstances” that makes any of the information on the current Form W-8 incorrect (both within the meaning of the instructions to such Form W-8). The Lead Securitization Noteholder shall not be obligated to make any payment hereunder to the Note B Holder in respect of Note B or otherwise until the Note B Holder shall have furnished to the Lead Securitization Noteholder the requested forms, certificates, statements or documents.

Section 33.            Custody of Mortgage Loan Documents. The originals of all of the Mortgage Loan Documents (other than the Notes) will be held by the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or a custodian acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Noteholder) who shall act as secured party under the Mortgage Loan Documents on behalf of the registered holders of the Notes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, upon the Lead Securitization, the originals of all of the Mortgage Loan Documents (other than the Notes) shall be held by the Custodian. Each Note shall be held by the respective Noteholder or a custodian appointed by such Noteholder.

Section 34.            Notices. All notices required hereunder shall be given by (i) writing and personally delivered, (ii) sent by facsimile transmission (during business hours) if a party has provided a facsimile number, (iii) reputable overnight delivery service (charges prepaid), (iv) sent by electronic mail containing language requesting the recipient to confirm receipt thereof if a party has provided an electronic mail address and only if such electronic mail is promptly followed by a written notice 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.

All notices and reports (including, without limitation, Asset Status Reports) required to be delivered hereunder by the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer on its behalf) to the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative), or by the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative) to the Lead Securitization Noteholder as a Non-Controlling Note A Holder (or any Servicer on its behalf), shall also be delivered by the applicable party to each other Noteholder (including to the Note B Holder regardless of whether a Control Appraisal Period is continuing)..

Section 35.            Broker. Each Noteholder represents to each other Noteholder that no broker was responsible for bringing about this transaction.

Section 36.            Certain Matters Affecting the Agent.

(a)   The Noteholders hereby appoint the Agent to act on their behalf, and the Agent shall act on behalf of the Noteholders;

(b)   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 20;

67 

 

(c)   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;

(d)   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 of the Noteholders pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless it has received indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it;

(e)   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;

(f)    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 20; and

(g)   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.

Section 37.            Termination of Agent. The Agent may be terminated at any time upon ten (10) days prior written notice from the Note A-1 Holder. In the event that the Agent is terminated pursuant to this Section 37, 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.

The Agent may resign at any time upon notice, so long as a successor Agent, reasonably satisfactory to the Noteholders, has agreed to be bound by this Agreement and perform the duties of the Agent hereunder. DBRI, as Initial Agent, may transfer its rights and obligations to a Servicer, as successor Agent, at any time without the consent of any Noteholder. DBRI, as Initial Agent, shall promptly and diligently attempt to cause such Servicer to act as successor Agent, and, if such Servicer declines to act in such capacity, shall promptly and diligently attempt to cause a similar servicer to act as successor Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Noteholders 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 the Initial Agent or any successor thereto upon such Securitization without any further notice or other action. The termination or resignation of the Master Servicer, as Master Servicer under the Servicing Agreement, shall be deemed a termination or resignation of such Master Servicer as Agent under this Agreement without any further notice or other action, in which case the appointment of a successor Master Servicer under the Servicing Agreement shall be deemed an appointment of such successor Master Servicer as successor Agent under this Agreement without any further notice or other action.

Section 38.            Resizing. In connection with the Mortgage Loan, each Noteholder agrees, subject to clause (iii)(y) below, that if any Note A Holder determines that it is advantageous to resize its Note by causing the Mortgage Loan Borrower to execute amended and restated or

68 

 

additional pari passu notes (in either case, “New Notes”) reallocating the principal of such Note to such New Notes, each Noteholder other than the resizing Noteholder shall cooperate with the resizing Noteholder to effect such resizing at such resizing Noteholder’s expense; provided that (i) the aggregate principal balance of all outstanding New Notes following the creation thereof is no greater than the principal balance of such Note or Notes immediately prior to the creation of the New Notes, (ii) the weighted average interest rate of all outstanding New Notes following the creation thereof is the same as the interest rate of the related Note or Notes immediately prior to the creation of the New Notes, and (iii) no such resizing shall (x) change the interest allocable to, or the amount of any payments due to, any other Noteholder, or priority of such payments, or (y) increase any other Noteholder’s obligations or decrease any other Noteholder’s rights, remedies or protections. In connection with any resizing of any A Note, the related Noteholder may allocate its rights hereunder among the New Notes in any manner in its sole discretion.

Section 39.            Conflict. To the extent of any inconsistency between the Servicing Agreement, on one hand, and this Agreement, on the other, this Agreement shall control.

Section 40.            Cooperation in Securitization.

(a)   Each Noteholder acknowledges that each Noteholder may elect, in its sole discretion, to include its Note in a Securitization. In connection with a Securitization of any A Note, each other Noteholder, at the request of the related securitizing Noteholder, shall use commercially reasonable efforts, at the requesting Noteholder’s expense, to satisfy, and to cooperate with the requesting Noteholder in attempting to cause the Mortgage Loan Borrower to satisfy, the market standards to which the requesting Noteholder customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required in the marketplace or by the Rating Agencies 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 the requesting Noteholder 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 such Securitization; provided, however, that either in connection with such Securitization or otherwise at any time prior to such Securitization no other Noteholder 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 any payments to be made to, such Noteholder, (ii) increase such Noteholder’s obligations or decrease such Noteholder’s rights, remedies or protections hereunder or under any Mortgage Loan Document, or (iii) otherwise materially adversely affect the rights and interests of such Noteholder. In connection with any such Securitization of an A Note, each other Noteholder agrees to provide, for inclusion in any disclosure document relating to such Securitization, such customary non-confidential information concerning such Noteholder as the requesting Noteholder reasonably determines to be necessary to satisfy its disclosure obligations in connection with such Securitization. Each Noteholder covenants and agrees that if it is not the requesting Noteholder, it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the requests of each Rating Agency and the requesting Noteholder in connection with the preparation of any offering documents in connection with the Securitization, and to review and respond reasonably promptly with respect to any information relating to it in any Securitization document, all at the cost and expense of the requesting Noteholder. Each Noteholder acknowledges that the information provided by it to the requesting

69 

 

Noteholder pursuant to this Section 40 may be incorporated into the offering documents for a Securitization. A requesting Note A Holder and each Rating Agency shall be entitled to rely on the information supplied by each other Noteholder pursuant to this Section 40.

(b)   Each Note A Holder securitizing its Note may, at its election, deliver to each other Noteholder drafts of the preliminary and final Securitization offering memoranda, prospectus, preliminary prospectus and any other disclosure documents and (in the case of the Lead Securitization) the Servicing Agreement simultaneously with distributions of any such documents to the general working group of the related Securitization. Each other Noteholder may, at its election, review and comment thereon insofar as it relates to such other Noteholder and/or its Note, and, if such other Noteholder elects to review and comment, such other Noteholder shall review and comment thereon as soon as possible (but in no event later than (i) in the case of the first draft thereof, two (2) Business Days after receipt thereof and (ii) in the case of each subsequent draft thereof, the deadline provided to the general working group of the related Securitization for review and comment), and if such other Noteholder fails to respond within such time, such other Noteholder shall be deemed to have elected to not comment thereon (but no failure to comment shall constitute a waiver of such other Noteholder’s rights hereunder or under the Mortgage Loan Documents). In the event of any disagreement between any such other Noteholder with respect to the preliminary and final offering memoranda, prospectus, free writing prospectus or any other disclosure documents, the requesting Noteholder’s determination shall control (the parties acknowledging that no inaccuracy in such documents shall in any respect prejudice any such other Noteholder’s rights hereunder or under the Mortgage Loan Documents). No such other Noteholder shall have any obligation or liability with respect to any such offering documents other than the accuracy of any comments it elects to make regarding itself.

(c)   Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Note A Holder acknowledges and agrees that (i) no other Noteholder shall be required to incur any out-of-pocket expenses in connection with such Note A Holder’s respective Securitization of such Note A Holder’s A Note, and (ii) each such other Noteholder shall only be required to disclose such customary non-confidential information reasonably determined by the requesting Note A Holder to be necessary to satisfy its disclosure obligations in connection with such Note A Holder’s respective Securitization.

(i)            such Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder shall be responsible for its pro rata share of any Nonrecoverable Property Protection Advances (and advance interest thereon) and any additional trust fund expenses, 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 the Notes are insufficient to cover such Property Protection 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, the Trustee or the Lead Securitization Trust, as applicable, out of general funds in the collection account (or equivalent account) established under the

(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 and, in the case of the Lead Securitization Trust, to the extent of any additional trust fund expenses with respect to the Mortgage Loan) by the Non-Lead Securitization Trust, against any of the Indemnified Items to the extent of its pro rata share of such Indemnified Items and, to the extent amounts on deposit in the Companion Distribution Account that are allocated to the Non-Lead Securitization Note 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’s pro rata share of the insufficiency out of general funds in the collection account (or equivalent account) established under the Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement;

(iii)            the Non-Lead Master Servicer, Non-Lead Trustee or Non-Lead Certificate Administrator will be required to deliver to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer and the Operating Advisor (i) promptly following the Non-Lead Securitization, notice of the deposit of the Non-Lead Securitization Note into a Securitization Trust (which notice may be (x) in the form of delivery (which may be by email) of a copy of the Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, or (y) by email notification together with contact information for the Non-Lead Trustee, the Non-Lead Certificate Administrator, the Non-Lead Master Servicer, the Non-Lead Special Servicer and the party designated to exercise the rights of such Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder as a “Non-Controlling Noteholder” under this Agreement, accompanied by a 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, the Non-Lead Trustee or the party designated to exercise the rights of such Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder as a “Non-Controlling Noteholder” under this Agreement (together with the relevant contact

(iv)            the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Lead Securitization Trust shall be third party beneficiaries of the foregoing provisions.

(g)   The Lead Securitization Noteholder shall:

(i)            give each Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder that is included in a Securitization (if any) at the time of the Securitization of the Lead Securitization Note, notice of such Securitization of the Lead Securitization Note in writing (which may be by email) not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the applicable pricing date for the Lead Securitization, together with contact information for each of the parties to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement; and

(ii)            send to each Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder and the parties to the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (that are not also party to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) (x) on or promptly following the Lead Securitization Date (to the extent the applicable parties to the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement have been engaged by the related Non-Lead Depositor on or prior to the Lead Securitization Date), a copy (in EDGAR-compatible format) of the execution version of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, (y) within (1) one Business Day after the date of any re-filing by the Depositor of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement with the Commission to account for any changes thereto (other than a formal amendment thereto following the Lead Securitization Date), a copy (in EDGAR-compatible format) of the re-filed Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, and (z) promptly following distribution thereof to the parties to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, any changes made by the Depositor to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (other than a formal amendment thereto following the Lead Securitization Date).

(h)   Each Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder shall provide (or cause to be provided) to the Lead Securitization Noteholder and the parties to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (provided that the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement has been delivered to the Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder) notice of the closing of the related Non-Lead Securitization, in writing (which may be by email) prior to or promptly following the related Non-Lead Securitization Date, which notice shall include a copy of the Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.

(i)     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any obligation of the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof shall be performed by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, as set forth in the Servicing Agreement.

(j)     At any time after the Securitization Date that the Lead Securitization Note is no longer subject to the provisions of the Servicing Agreement, the Lead Securitization Noteholder shall cause the Mortgage Loan to be serviced pursuant to a servicing agreement that contains servicing provisions which are the same as or more favorable to the Non-Lead Securitization Noteholders, in substance, to those in the Servicing Agreement and all references herein to the

  

 

“Servicing Agreement” shall mean such subsequent servicing agreement; provided, however, that if a Non-Lead Securitization Note is in a Securitization, then a written confirmation shall have been obtained from each Rating Agency rating such Securitization that the appointment of the servicer(s) pursuant to such servicing agreement would not, in and of itself, cause a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then-current ratings assigned to the securities issued in connection with such Securitization; provided, further, that until a replacement servicing agreement has been entered into, the Lead Securitization Noteholder shall cause the Mortgage Loan to be serviced in accordance with the servicing provisions set forth in the Servicing Agreement as if such agreement was still in full force and effect with respect to the Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that the Servicer under such replacement Servicing Agreement shall have no further obligations to advance monthly payments of principal and interest; provided, further, however, that until a replacement servicing agreement is in place, the actual servicing of the Mortgage Loan may be performed by any nationally recognized commercial mortgage loan servicer meeting the requirements of the Servicing Agreement appointed by the Lead Securitization Noteholder and the special servicer appointed by the Controlling Noteholder (which special servicer must satisfy the Required Special Servicer Rating of, or otherwise be acceptable to, each of the Rating Agencies rating any outstanding Securitization) and does not have to be performed by the service providers set forth under the Servicing Agreement.

(k)   Subject to the Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard and subject to a Rating Agency Confirmation, and solely in the event that S&P rates any securities issued in connection with any Securitization of any A Note, the Servicer shall require the related Mortgage Loan Borrower to maintain insurance with an insurer meeting the minimum S&P ratings requirements specified in the related Mortgage Loan Documents (and, for the avoidance of doubt, without regard to any lender discretion with respect to such ratings in the related Mortgage Loan Documents).

Section 3.                Payment Priorities of the Notes. The A Notes 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 or Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds (other than proceeds, awards or settlements that are required 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, to the extent permitted by the REMIC Provisions), 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 or received as reimbursements on account of recoveries in respect of Advances then due and payable or reimbursable to the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement and (y) all amounts that are then due, payable or reimbursable to any Servicer (excluding master servicing fees, trustee fees, certificate administrator fees, operating advisor fees and asset representations reviewer fees (all of which shall be payable by each Noteholder to such party out of distributions made to such Noteholder in respect of its respective Note), with respect to the Mortgage Loan pursuant to the Servicing Agreement (such amounts contemplated by clauses (x) and (y), “Withheld Amounts”), shall be applied to the Notes on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis.

  

 

For clarification purposes, Default Interest and late payment charges (collectively, “Penalty Charges”) paid on the A Notes pursuant to this Section 3 shall be allocated to the Note A Holders on a pro rata basis and applied: first, to reduce, on a pro rata basis, the Penalty Charges otherwise payable on each such A Note by the amount necessary to pay the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Special Servicer for any interest accrued on any Property Protection Advances and reimbursement of any Property Protection Advances in accordance with the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement; second, to reduce, on a pro rata basis, the Penalty Charges otherwise payable to the Noteholder of each such A Note by the amount necessary to pay the Master Servicer, Trustee, Non-Lead Master Servicer or 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 any Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, as applicable); third, to reduce, on a pro rata basis, the Penalty Charges otherwise payable to each Note A Holder 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 Servicing Agreement); and finally, (i) in the case of the remaining amount of Penalty Charges otherwise allocable pursuant to this Section 3 to the Lead Securitization Noteholder, to pay such remaining amount to the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer as additional servicing compensation as provided in the Servicing Agreement and (ii) in the case of the remaining amount of Penalty Charges allocable pursuant to this Section 3 to any Note A Holder that is not the Lead Securitization Noteholder, to pay such remaining amount (x) prior to the Securitization of such A Note, to the related Note A Holder and (y) following the Securitization of such A Note, to the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer as additional servicing compensation as provided in the Servicing Agreement.

The Lead Securitization

  

 

Noteholder (or any Servicer acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Noteholder) shall not have any fiduciary duty to any Non-Lead Noteholder in connection with the administration of the Mortgage Loan (but the foregoing shall not relieve the Lead Securitization 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 this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement. The Servicers shall service the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 5(f) below) and consistent with the Servicing Standard.

The foregoing provisions of this Section 5(b) shall not limit or modify the rights of the Controlling Noteholder and/or the Controlling Noteholder Representative 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, Sections 5(f) and 6), if the Servicer in connection with a Workout of the Mortgage Loan modifies the terms thereof in accordance herewith such that (i) the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan is decreased, (ii) the Mortgage Loan Rate or scheduled amortization payments on such Mortgage Loan are reduced, (iii) payments of interest or principal on such Mortgage Loan are waived, reduced or deferred or (iv) any other adjustment (other than an increase in the Mortgage Loan Rate or increase in scheduled amortization payments) is made to any of the terms of the Mortgage Loan, all payments to the Note A Holders 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, the full economic effect of all waivers, reductions or deferrals of amounts due on the Mortgage Loan attributable to such Workout shall be borne by the Note A Holders (pro rata based on the Principal Balances of their respective Notes).

(d)   All rights and obligations of the Lead Securitization Noteholder described hereunder may be exercised by the Servicers on behalf of the Lead Securitization Noteholder in accordance with the Servicing Agreement and this Agreement.

(e)   If any 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 Notes shall each 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 Noteholders 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 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 Noteholders 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 months after the earliest startup day of any REMIC which includes all or a portion of any A Note. The Noteholders agree that the provisions of this Section 5(e) shall be effected by compliance by the Lead Securitization Noteholder or its assignees with this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement or any other agreement which governs the administration of the Mortgage Loan or the Lead Securitization Noteholder’s interests therein. All costs and expenses of compliance with this Section 5(e), to the extent that such costs and expenses relate to administration of a REMIC or to any determination respecting the amount, payment or avoidance of any tax under the REMIC Provisions or the actual payment of any REMIC tax or expense, shall be borne (without reimbursement under Section 3) by each Noteholder with respect to the REMIC containing the Note owned by such Noteholder.

Anything herein or in the Servicing Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that a Note is included in a REMIC and the other Notes are not, the other Noteholders shall not be required to reimburse such Noteholder that deposited its Note in the REMIC 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 either such other Noteholder be reduced to offset or make-up any such payment or deficit.

(f)    (i) Subject to clauses (ii) or (iii) below, if any consent, modification, amendment or waiver under or other action in respect of the Mortgage Loan (whether or not a Servicing Transfer Event has occurred and is continuing) that would constitute a Major Decision has been requested or proposed or any fact or circumstance has occurred requiring that a Major Decision be made, or if the Master Servicer or Special Servicer otherwise intends to make a Major Decision, then the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall deliver prompt written notice thereof to the Controlling Noteholder and its Controlling Noteholder Representative, if any, at least ten (10) Business Days prior to taking action with respect to such Major Decision (or making a determination not to take action with respect to such Major Decision), and none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or any other Person shall implement any decision with respect to such Major Decision (or make a determination not to take action with respect to such Major Decision) unless and until the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, has received the written consent of the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative).

(ii)       If the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, has not received a response from the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative) with respect to such Major Decision within five (5) Business Days after delivery of the notice of such Major Decision, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall deliver an additional copy of the notice of such Major Decision in all caps bold 14-point font: “This is a Second Notice. Failure to respond within five (5) Business Days of this Second Notice will result in a loss of your right to

  

 

consent with respect to this decision,” and if the Controlling Noteholder fails to respond to the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) with respect to any such proposed action within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such second notice, the Controlling Noteholder shall have no further consent rights with respect to such action (provided, however, that such failure to reply shall not affect the rights of the Controlling Noteholder to consent to any future actions). Notwithstanding the foregoing, or if a failure to take any such action at such time would be inconsistent with the Servicing Standard, the Servicer may take actions with respect to such Mortgaged Property before obtaining the consent of the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative) (or before consulting with any Non-Controlling Noteholder to the extent such Non-Controlling Noteholder has consultation rights with respect to such action) if the Servicer reasonably determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that failure to take such actions prior to such consent would materially and adversely affect the interest of the Noteholders as a collective whole, and the Servicer has made a reasonable effort to contact the Controlling Noteholder. The foregoing shall not relieve the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or a Servicer acting on its behalf) of its duties to comply with the Servicing Standard.

(iii)       Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer acting on its behalf) shall not follow any advice, direction, objection or consultation provided by the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative) that would require or cause the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer acting on its behalf) to violate any applicable law, including the REMIC Provisions, be inconsistent with the Servicing Standard, require or cause the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer acting on its behalf) to violate provisions of this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, require or cause the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer acting on its behalf) to violate the terms of the Mortgage Loan, or materially expand the scope of the Lead Securitization Noteholder’s (or any Servicer acting on its behalf) responsibilities under this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement.

The Special Servicer shall be required to provide copies to each Non-Controlling Noteholder of any notice, information and report that is required to be provided to the Controlling Noteholder pursuant to the Servicing Agreement with respect to any Major Decisions or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report within the same time frame such notice, information and report is required to be provided to the Controlling Noteholder, and the Special Servicer shall be required to consult with each Non-Controlling  Noteholder on a strictly non-binding basis, to the extent having received such notices, information and reports, any Non-Controlling Noteholder requests consultation with respect to any such Major Decisions or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report, and consider alternative actions recommended by such Non-Controlling Noteholder; provided that after the expiration of a period of ten (10) Business Days from the delivery to any Non-Controlling Noteholder by the Special Servicer of written notice of a proposed action, together with copies of the notice, information and reports, the Special Servicer shall no longer be obligated to consult with such Non-Controlling Noteholder, whether or not such Non-Controlling  Noteholder has responded within such ten (10) Business Day period (unless, the Special Servicer proposes a new course of action that is materially different from the action previously proposed, in which case such ten (10) Business Day period shall be deemed to begin anew from the date of such proposal and delivery of all information relating thereto). After a Securitization of any Note that is not the Lead Securitization Note, references in this paragraph to

  

 

a Non-Controlling Noteholder as such term relates to such Note shall mean the related Non-Lead Securitization Subordinate Class Representative.

In addition to the consultation rights provided in the immediately preceding paragraph, each Non-Controlling Noteholder shall have the right to attend annual meetings (which may be held telephonically or in person, at the discretion of the Servicer) with the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf), 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.

The Noteholders acknowledge that the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement may contain certain provisions that give the Operating Advisor or Risk Retention Consultation Party certain non-binding consultation rights with respect to Major Decisions and other events related to compliance with the Risk Retention Rules applicable to the Lead Securitization.

(g)   [Reserved.]

(h)   [Reserved.]

(i)     [Reserved.]

(j)     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Servicing Agreement, if at any time a Borrower Party is a Noteholder (a “Borrower Party Noteholder”), then (i) such Borrower Party Noteholder shall not have any rights as a Controlling Noteholder or a Controlling Class Representative, (ii) such Borrower Party Noteholder shall have no right to appoint or terminate the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, (iii) such Borrower Party Noteholder shall have no right to consult with or advise the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, and shall have no right to review and approve or comment on any Asset Status Report and (iv) in each and every instance where, pursuant to this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer must take into account the interests of each Noteholder (or words of similar import), such consideration shall be given to the Borrower Party Noteholder only in its capacity as a holder of the applicable Note.

(k)   If an Event of Default under the Mortgage Loan has occurred and is continuing, the Special Servicer may, in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Servicing Agreement and subject to the Servicing Standard, elect to sell the Mortgage Loan, subject to the consent right of the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative), in which case such sale would include all the A Notes and the Special Servicer shall provide notice to each Non-Lead Master Servicer, who shall provide notice to the related Non-Controlling Noteholder of the planned sale and of such Non-Controlling Noteholder’s opportunity to submit an offer on the A Notes together.

Each Non-Lead Noteholder hereby appoints the Lead Securitization Noteholder as its agent, and grants to the Lead Securitization Noteholder 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 its respective Non-Lead Note. Each Non-Lead Noteholder further agrees that, upon the request of the Lead Securitization Noteholder, the Non-Lead Noteholder shall execute and deliver to or at the direction of the Lead Securitization Noteholder such powers of

  

 

attorney or other instruments as the Lead Securitization Noteholder may reasonably request to better assure and evidence the foregoing appointment and grant, in each case promptly following request, and shall deliver its respective original Non-Lead Note, endorsed in blank, to or at the direction of the Lead Securitization Noteholder in connection with the consummation of any such sale. For the avoidance of doubt, this paragraph is subject to the consent right of the Controlling Noteholder in the immediately preceding paragraph.

The authority of the Lead Securitization Noteholder to sell a Non-Lead Note, and the obligations of a Non-Lead Noteholder to execute and deliver instruments or deliver the Non-Lead Note upon request of the Lead Securitization Noteholder, 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 Person that sold such Lead Securitization Note into the Lead Securitization from the Lead Securitization Trust in connection with a material breach of representation or warranty made by such Person with respect to the Lead Securitization Note or material document defect with respect to the documents delivered by such Person with respect to the Lead Securitization Note upon the consummation of the Lead Securitization. The preceding sentence shall not be construed to grant to any Non-Lead Noteholder the benefit of any representation or warranty made by the Person that sold such Lead Securitization Note into the Lead Securitization or any document delivery obligation imposed on such Person under any mortgage loan purchase and sale agreement, instrument of transfer or other document or instrument that may be executed or delivered by such Person in connection with the Lead Securitization.

Section 6.                Appointment of Controlling Noteholder Representative.

(a)   The Controlling Noteholder shall have the right at any time to appoint a controlling noteholder representative to exercise its rights hereunder (the “Controlling Noteholder Representative”). The Controlling Noteholder shall have the right in its sole discretion at any time and from time to time to remove and replace the Controlling Noteholder Representative. When exercising its various rights under Section 5 and elsewhere in this Agreement, the Controlling Noteholder may, at its option, in each case, act through the Controlling Noteholder Representative. The Controlling Noteholder Representative may be any Person (other than a Borrower Party), including, without limitation, the Controlling Noteholder, any officer or employee of the Controlling Noteholder, any Affiliate of the Controlling Noteholder or any other unrelated third party. No such Controlling Noteholder Representative shall owe any fiduciary duty or other duty to any other Person (other than the Controlling Noteholder). All actions that are permitted to be taken by the Controlling Noteholder under this Agreement may be taken by the Controlling Noteholder Representative acting on behalf of the Controlling Noteholder and other Noteholders (and any Servicer) will accept such actions of the Controlling Noteholder Representative as actions of the Controlling Noteholder. The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer on its behalf) shall not be required to recognize any Person as a Controlling Noteholder Representative until the Controlling Noteholder has notified the Lead Securitization Noteholder (and any Servicer) of such appointment and, if the Controlling Noteholder Representative is not the same Person as the Controlling Noteholder, the Controlling Noteholder Representative provides the Lead Securitization Noteholder (and any Servicer) with written confirmation of its acceptance of such appointment, an address, any fax number and any email address 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, telephone numbers, any

  

 

fax numbers and any email addresses). The Controlling Noteholder shall promptly deliver such information to any Servicer. None of the Servicers, Operating Advisor and Trustee shall be required to recognize any person as a Controlling Noteholder Representative until they receive such information from the Controlling Noteholder. The Controlling Noteholder agrees to inform each such Servicer or Trustee of the then-current Controlling Noteholder Representative.

(b)   Neither the Controlling Noteholder Representative nor the Controlling Noteholder will have any liability to any other Noteholder or any other Person for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action pursuant to this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, or for errors in judgment, absent any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence. The Noteholders agree that the Controlling Noteholder Representative and the Controlling Noteholder may take or refrain from taking actions that favor the interests of one Noteholder over any other Noteholder, and that the Controlling Noteholder Representative may have special relationships and interests that conflict with the interests of a Noteholder and, absent willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of the Controlling Noteholder Representative or such Controlling Noteholder, as the case may be, agree to take no action against the Controlling Noteholder Representative, such Controlling Noteholder 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 Noteholder Representative nor such Controlling Noteholder 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 solely in the interests of any Noteholder.

(c)   Each of the other Noteholders acknowledges and agrees all of the aforementioned rights and obligations of the Controlling Noteholder and the Controlling Noteholder Representative set forth in Section 5(f) and 5(g) and this Section 6 shall be exercisable by the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the applicable Person specified in the Servicing Agreement) to the extent set forth in the Servicing Agreement.

Section 7.                Special Servicer. The Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative), at its expense (including, without limitation, the reasonable costs and expenses of counsel to any third parties and costs and expenses of the terminated Special Servicer), shall have the right, at any time from time to time, to appoint a replacement Special Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan. The Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative) shall be entitled to terminate the rights and obligations of any Special Servicer under the Servicing Agreement, with or without cause, upon at least ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Special Servicer (provided, however, that the Controlling Noteholder and/or Controlling Noteholder Representative shall not be liable for any termination or similar fee in connection with the removal of the Special Servicer in accordance with this Section 7); such termination not to be effective unless and until (A) each Rating Agency delivers a Rating Agency Confirmation (to the extent any portion of the Mortgage Loan has been securitized); (B) the successor Special Servicer has assumed in writing (from and after the date such successor Special Servicer becomes the Special Servicer) all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Special Servicer under the Servicing Agreement from and after the date it becomes the Special Servicer as they relate to the Mortgage Loan pursuant to an assumption agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; and (C) the Trustee shall have received an opinion of counsel

  

 

reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee to the effect that (x) the designation of such replacement to serve as Special Servicer is in compliance with the Servicing Agreement, (y) such replacement will be bound by the terms of the Servicing Agreement with respect to such Mortgage Loan and (z) subject to customary qualifications and exceptions, the applicable Servicing Agreement will be enforceable against such replacement in accordance with its terms. The Lead Securitization Noteholder shall promptly provide copies to any terminated Special Servicer of the documents referred to in the preceding sentence. The Lead Securitization Noteholder will reasonably cooperate with the Controlling Noteholder in order to satisfy the foregoing conditions, including the Rating Agency Confirmation.

The Controlling Noteholder agrees and acknowledges that the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement may contain provisions to the effect that any Special Servicer is subject to termination under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement based on a recommendation by the Operating Advisor if (A) the Operating Advisor determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that (1) the Special Servicer has failed to comply with the Servicing Standard and (2) a replacement of the Special Servicer would be in the best interest of the holders of securities issued under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (as a collective whole) and (B) an affirmative vote of requisite certificateholders is obtained. The Controlling Noteholder will retain its right to remove and replace the Special Servicer, but the Controlling Noteholder may not restore a Special Servicer that has been removed in accordance with the preceding sentence.

Section 8.                Payment Procedure.

(a)   The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Master Servicer on its behalf), in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 3, and subject to the terms of the Servicing Agreement, will deposit or cause to be deposited all payments allocable to the Notes to the Collection Account or Companion Distribution Account established pursuant to the Servicing Agreement. The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Master Servicer on its behalf) shall establish a segregated sub-account for amounts due to each Noteholder. The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Master Servicer acting on its behalf) shall deposit such amounts to the applicable account within two (2) Business Days following the Lead Securitization Noteholder’s (or the Master Servicer’s acting on its behalf) receipt of properly identified and available funds from or on behalf of the Mortgage Loan Borrower; provided, however, that in the event the Master Servicer is in receipt of properly identified funds that are not available to the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer may instead deposit such amounts into the Collection Account and Companion Distribution Account, as applicable, on the same Business Day that such properly identified funds become available to the Master Servicer.

(b)   If the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) determines, or a court of competent jurisdiction orders, at any time that any amount received or collected in respect of a Note must, pursuant to any insolvency, bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, preference or similar law, be returned to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or paid to such Noteholder or any Servicer or paid to any other Person, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall not be required to distribute any portion thereof to such Noteholder and such Noteholder will promptly on demand by the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) repay to the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) any portion thereof that the Lead Securitization

  

 

Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall have theretofore distributed to such Noteholder, together with interest thereon at such rate, if any, as the Lead Securitization Noteholder shall have been required to pay to the Mortgage Loan Borrower, the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, any other Noteholder or such other Person with respect thereto.

(c)   If, for any reason, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) makes any payment to any other Noteholder before the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) has received the corresponding payment (it being understood that the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) is under no obligation to do so), and the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) does not receive the corresponding payment within three (3) Business Days of its payment to such other Noteholder, then such other Noteholder will, at the Lead Securitization Noteholder’s (or the Servicer’s on its behalf) request, promptly return that payment to the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf).

(d)   Each Noteholder 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 Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) for application subject to and in accordance with this Agreement and the Servicing. The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall have the right to offset any amounts due hereunder from any other Noteholder, as applicable, with respect to the Mortgage Loan against any future payments due to such other Noteholder, as applicable, under the Mortgage Loan, provided, that each Noteholder’s obligations under this Section 8 are separate and distinct obligations from one another and in no event shall the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) enforce the obligations of one Noteholder against another Noteholder. Each Noteholder’s obligations under this Section 8 constitute absolute, unconditional and continuing obligations.

Section 9.                Limitation on Liability of the Noteholders. No Noteholder (including any Servicer on a Noteholder’s behalf, but only to the extent that the Servicing Agreement does not impose any other standard upon any Servicer, in which case the Servicing Agreement shall control) shall have any liability to any other Noteholder except with respect to losses actually suffered due to the gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement on the part of such Noteholder.

Each Noteholder acknowledges that, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, any other Noteholder may exercise, or omit to exercise, any rights that such Noteholder may have under this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement in a manner that may be adverse to the interests of each other Noteholder and that such Noteholder shall have no liability whatsoever to any other Noteholder in connection with such Noteholder’s exercise of rights or any omission by such Noteholder to exercise such rights; provided, however, that such Noteholder shall not be protected against any liability to any other Noteholder that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence.

Section 10.            Bankruptcy. Subject to the provisions of Section 5(f) hereof and the Servicing Standard, each Noteholder hereby covenants and agrees that only the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) 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. Subject to the provisions of Section 5(f) hereof and the Servicing Standard, each Noteholder further agrees that only the Lead Securitization Noteholder, as a creditor, 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. Subject to the provisions of Section 5(f) hereof and the Servicing Standard, the Noteholders hereby appoint the Lead Securitization Noteholder as their agent, and grant to the Lead Securitization Noteholder 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 one or more of such Noteholders 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 Noteholders, hereby agree that, upon the request of the Lead Securitization Noteholder but subject to the provisions of Section 5(f), each other Noteholder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Lead Securitization Noteholder all and every such further deeds, conveyances and instruments as the Lead Securitization Noteholder may reasonably request for the better assuring and evidencing of the foregoing appointment and grant. All actions taken by any Servicer in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding are subject to and must be in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

Section 13.            [Reserved.]

Section 14.            Representations of the Note A Holders. Each of the Note A Holders 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 Noteholder’s charter or any law or contractual restriction binding upon such Noteholder and that this Agreement is the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Noteholder as applicable enforceable against it in accordance with its terms. Each of the Note A Holders represents and warrants that it is duly organized, validly existing, in good standing and possession of all licenses and authorizations necessary to carry on its respective business. Each of the Note A Holders represents and warrants that (a) this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Noteholder, (b) to such Noteholder’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 Noteholder have been obtained or made and (c) to such Noteholder’s actual knowledge, there is no pending action, suit or proceeding, arbitration or governmental investigation against such Noteholder, an adverse outcome of which would materially and adversely affect its performance under this Agreement.

 

  

 

Section 15.            Each of the Note A Holders acknowledges that no other Noteholder owes such Noteholder any fiduciary duty with respect to any action taken under the Mortgage Loan Documents and, except as provided herein or in the Servicing Agreement, need not consult with such Noteholder with respect to any action taken by such Noteholder in connection with the Mortgage Loan.

Section 16.            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 any of the Noteholders as a partnership, association, joint venture or other entity. No Noteholder shall have any obligation whatsoever to offer to any other Noteholder the opportunity to purchase any future loan originated by such Noteholder or its Affiliates and if any Noteholder chooses to offer to any other Noteholder the opportunity to purchase any future mortgage loan originated by such Noteholder or its Affiliates, such offer shall be at such purchase price and interest rate as such Noteholder chooses, in its sole and absolute discretion. No Noteholder shall have any obligation whatsoever to purchase from any other Noteholder any future loans originated by such Noteholder or its Affiliates.

Section 17.            Not a Security. None of the Notes shall be deemed to be a security within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.

Section 18.            Other Business Activities of the Noteholders. Each Noteholder acknowledges that each other Noteholder or its Affiliates may make loans or otherwise extend credit to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, (i) (a) the Mortgage Loan Borrower or (b) any direct or indirect parent of the Mortgage Loan Borrower or (c) any Affiliate of the Mortgage Loan Borrower or (d) any Affiliate of any direct or indirect parent of the Mortgage Loan Borrower, (ii) any entity that is a holder of debt secured by direct or indirect ownership interests in the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Affiliate of the holder of such debt, or (iii) any entity that is a holder of a preferred equity interest in the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Affiliate of a holder of such preferred equity (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 19.            Sale of the Notes.

(a)   [Reserved.]

(b)   [Reserved.]

(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 Noteholders and any Persons acting on their 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 Noteholders a certification from an authorized officer confirming its status as a Qualified Institutional Lender), such Noteholder, by written notice to the other Noteholders, may delegate to such participant such Noteholder’s right to exercise the rights of the Controlling Noteholder hereunder and under the Servicing Agreement.

(d)   Each of the Note A Holders shall have the right to Transfer all or any portion of its Note without the prior consent of any other Noteholder (i) prior to an Event of Default, to any party other than a Borrower Party and (ii) after an Event of Default, to any party, including a Borrower Party; provided, however, that following any Event of Default under the Mortgage Loan, a Note A Holder may only transfer all or any portion of its Note to a Borrower Party with the prior written consent of the Controlling Noteholder at any time when such Note A Holder is not the Controlling Noteholder; provided further, however, that following any Transfer of any A Note, the Mortgage Loan continues to be serviced in its entirety pursuant to the Servicing Agreement by a Servicer unaffiliated with Mortgage Loan Borrower. For the avoidance of doubt, subject to Section 12, no Noteholder or the Servicer shall have any right to Transfer or cause the Transfer of any other Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without each non-transferring Note A Holder’s prior consent, and, if any such non-transferring Note A Holder’s Note or any portion thereof is held in a Securitization Trust, without a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to the related Securitization, no Noteholder shall Transfer its Note or any portion thereof (or a participation interest in such Note) to a Borrower Party and any such Transfer shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee.

(e)   Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, any Noteholder may pledge (a “Pledge”) its Note to any entity (other than a Borrower Party) which has extended a credit or repurchase facility to such Noteholder and that is (x) 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 (y) to any Federal Reserve Bank or Federal Home Loan Bank to secure any obligation of such Noteholder to such bank and such pledge shall be enforceable in accordance with the terms thereof (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) prior to the first Securitization of any Note, the consent of each other Noteholder and (b) after the closing of the first Securitization of any Note, Rating Agency Confirmation. Upon written notice by the applicable Noteholder to each other Noteholder and any Servicer that a Pledge has been effected (including the name and address of the applicable Note Pledgee), each other Noteholder 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) Business Days to cure a default by the pledging Noteholder in respect of its obligations to each 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 each other Noteholder 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 each other Noteholder 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 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 made by the Conduit (the “Conduit Inventory Loan”) 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.

Section 20.            Assignment and Assumption Upon Transfer. In connection with any Transfer of a Note to any entity (but excluding (x) any participant and (y) any 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 restrictions on Transfers set forth in Section 19, from and after the date of such assignment. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, neither the Trustee nor any Non-Lead Trustee shall 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 Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement or a Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, as the case may be. In connection with a Transfer of a Note, 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.

Section 21.            Registration of the Notes. 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, and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Note owing to each such Noteholder, 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 Noteholders 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 Noteholders hereby designate such person as their agent under this Section 21 solely for purposes of maintaining the Note Register. The parties intend for the Mortgage Loan to be in registered form for federal income tax purposes under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.

Section 22.            [Reserved.]

 

  

 

Section 23.            No Pledge. This Agreement shall not be deemed to represent a pledge of any interest in the Mortgage Loan by any one or more Noteholders to any one or more other Noteholders. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, no Non-Lead Noteholder shall have any interest in any property taken as security for the Mortgage Loan, provided, however, that if any such property or the proceeds of any sale, lease or other disposition thereof shall be received, then each Non-Lead Noteholder shall be entitled to receive its share of the application thereof in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and/or the Servicing Agreement.

Section 24.            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 DUTIES 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 25.            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 SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, 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 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 26.            Modifications; Amendment. This Agreement shall not be modified, cancelled or terminated except by an instrument in writing signed by each Noteholder. Additionally, for as long as any Note is contained in a Securitization Trust, the Noteholders 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 or amendment (i) to cure any ambiguity, or (ii) entered into pursuant to Section 38 of this Agreement or (iii) to correct or supplement any provision herein that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions of this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement.

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 applicable Noteholder hereunder, including, without limitation, the right to make further assignments.

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. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement in Portable Document Format (PDF) or by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed original counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 29.            Captions. The titles and headings of the paragraphs of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to summarize or otherwise describe the subject matter of the paragraphs and shall not be given any consideration in the construction of this Agreement.

Section 30.            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 31.            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 32.            [Reserved.]

Section 33.            Custody of Mortgage Loan Documents. The originals of all of the Mortgage Loan Documents (other than the Notes) will be held by the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or a custodian acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Noteholder) who shall act as secured party under the Mortgage Loan Documents on behalf of the registered holders of the

  

 

Notes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, upon the Lead Securitization, the originals of all of the Mortgage Loan Documents (other than the Notes) shall be held by the Custodian. Each Note shall be held by the respective Noteholder or a custodian appointed by such Noteholder.

Section 34.            Notices. All notices required hereunder shall be given by (i) writing and personally delivered, (ii) sent by facsimile transmission (during business hours) if a party has provided a facsimile number, (iii) reputable overnight delivery service (charges prepaid), (iv) sent by electronic mail containing language requesting the recipient to confirm receipt thereof if a party has provided an electronic mail address and only if such electronic mail is promptly followed by a written notice 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.

All notices and reports (including, without limitation, Asset Status Reports) required to be delivered hereunder by the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer on its behalf) to the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative), or by the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative) to the Lead Securitization Noteholder as a Non-Controlling Noteholder (or any Servicer on its behalf), shall also be delivered by the applicable party to each other Noteholder.

Section 35.            Broker. Each Noteholder represents to each other Noteholder that no broker was responsible for bringing about this transaction.

Section 36.            Certain Matters Affecting the Agent.

(a)   The Noteholders hereby appoint the Agent to act on their behalf, and the Agent shall act on behalf of the Noteholders;

(b)   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 20;

(c)   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;

(d)   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 of the Noteholders pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless it has received indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it;

(e)   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;

  

 

(f)    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 20; and

(g)   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.

Section 37.            Termination of Agent. The Agent may be terminated at any time upon ten (10) days prior written notice from the Note A-1 Holder. In the event that the Agent is terminated pursuant to this Section 37, 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.

The Agent may resign at any time upon notice, so long as a successor Agent, reasonably satisfactory to the Noteholders, has agreed to be bound by this Agreement and perform the duties of the Agent hereunder. DBRI, as Initial Agent, may transfer its rights and obligations to a Servicer, as successor Agent, at any time without the consent of any Noteholder. DBRI, as Initial Agent, shall promptly and diligently attempt to cause such Servicer to act as successor Agent, and, if such Servicer declines to act in such capacity, shall promptly and diligently attempt to cause a similar servicer to act as successor Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Noteholders 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 the Initial Agent or any successor thereto upon such Securitization without any further notice or other action. The termination or resignation of the Master Servicer, as Master Servicer under the Servicing Agreement, shall be deemed a termination or resignation of such Master Servicer as Agent under this Agreement without any further notice or other action, in which case the appointment of a successor Master Servicer under the Servicing Agreement shall be deemed an appointment of such successor Master Servicer as successor Agent under this Agreement without any further notice or other action.

Section 38.            Resizing. In connection with the Mortgage Loan, each Noteholder agrees, subject to clause (iii)(y) below, that if any Note A Holder determines that it is advantageous to resize its Note by causing the Mortgage Loan Borrower to execute amended and restated or additional pari passu notes (in either case, “New Notes”) reallocating the principal of such Note to such New Notes, each Noteholder other than the resizing Noteholder shall cooperate with the resizing Noteholder to effect such resizing at such resizing Noteholder’s expense; provided that (i) the aggregate principal balance of all outstanding New Notes following the creation thereof is no greater than the principal balance of such Note or Notes immediately prior to the creation of the New Notes, (ii) the weighted average interest rate of all outstanding New Notes following the creation thereof is the same as the interest rate of the related Note or Notes immediately prior to the creation of the New Notes, and (iii) no such resizing shall (x) change the interest allocable to, or the amount of any payments due to, any other Noteholder, or priority of such payments, or (y) increase any other Noteholder’s obligations or decrease any other Noteholder’s rights, remedies or protections. In connection with any resizing of any A Note, the related Noteholder may allocate its rights hereunder among the New Notes in any manner in its sole discretion.

 

  

 

Section 39.            Conflict. To the extent of any inconsistency between the Servicing Agreement, on one hand, and this Agreement, on the other, this Agreement shall control.

Section 40.            Cooperation in Securitization.

(a)   Each Noteholder acknowledges that each Noteholder may elect, in its sole discretion, to include its Note in a Securitization. In connection with a Securitization of any A Note, each other Noteholder, at the request of the related securitizing Noteholder, shall use commercially reasonable efforts, at the requesting Noteholder’s expense, to satisfy, and to cooperate with the requesting Noteholder in attempting to cause the Mortgage Loan Borrower to satisfy, the market standards to which the requesting Noteholder customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required in the marketplace or by the Rating Agencies 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 the requesting Noteholder 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 such Securitization; provided, however, that either in connection with such Securitization or otherwise at any time prior to such Securitization no other Noteholder 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 any payments to be made to, such Noteholder, (ii) increase such Noteholder’s obligations or decrease such Noteholder’s rights, remedies or protections hereunder or under any Mortgage Loan Document, or (iii) otherwise materially adversely affect the rights and interests of such Noteholder. In connection with any such Securitization of an A Note, each other Noteholder agrees to provide, for inclusion in any disclosure document relating to such Securitization, such customary non-confidential information concerning such Noteholder as the requesting Noteholder reasonably determines to be necessary to satisfy its disclosure obligations in connection with such Securitization. Each Noteholder covenants and agrees that if it is not the requesting Noteholder, it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the requests of each Rating Agency and the requesting Noteholder in connection with the preparation of any offering documents in connection with the Securitization, and to review and respond reasonably promptly with respect to any information relating to it in any Securitization document, all at the cost and expense of the requesting Noteholder. Each Noteholder acknowledges that the information provided by it to the requesting Noteholder pursuant to this Section 40 may be incorporated into the offering documents for a Securitization. A requesting Note A Holder and each Rating Agency shall be entitled to rely on the information supplied by each other Noteholder pursuant to this Section 40.

(b)   Each Note A Holder securitizing its Note may, at its election, deliver to each other Noteholder drafts of the preliminary and final Securitization offering memoranda, prospectus, preliminary prospectus and any other disclosure documents and (in the case of the Lead Securitization) the Servicing Agreement simultaneously with distributions of any such documents to the general working group of the related Securitization. Each other Noteholder may, at its election, review and comment thereon insofar as it relates to such other Noteholder and/or its Note, and, if such other Noteholder elects to review and comment, such other Noteholder shall review and comment thereon as soon as possible (but in no event later than (i) in the case of the first draft thereof, two (2) Business Days after receipt thereof and (ii) in the case of each subsequent

  

 

draft thereof, the deadline provided to the general working group of the related Securitization for review and comment), and if such other Noteholder fails to respond within such time, such other Noteholder shall be deemed to have elected to not comment thereon (but no failure to comment shall constitute a waiver of such other Noteholder’s rights hereunder or under the Mortgage Loan Documents). In the event of any disagreement between any such other Noteholder with respect to the preliminary and final offering memoranda, prospectus, free writing prospectus or any other disclosure documents, the requesting Noteholder’s determination shall control (the parties acknowledging that no inaccuracy in such documents shall in any respect prejudice any such other Noteholder’s rights hereunder or under the Mortgage Loan Documents). No such other Noteholder shall have any obligation or liability with respect to any such offering documents other than the accuracy of any comments it elects to make regarding itself.

(c)   Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Note A Holder acknowledges and agrees that (i) no other Noteholder shall be required to incur any out-of-pocket expenses in connection with such Note A Holder’s respective Securitization of such Note A Holder’s A Note, and (ii) each such other Noteholder shall only be required to disclose such customary non-confidential information reasonably determined by the requesting Note A Holder to be necessary to satisfy its disclosure obligations in connection with such Note A Holder’s respective Securitization.

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 the holders of interests in any related Companion Loans) will be vested in the Purchaser and immediately thereafter the Trustee, and the ownership of records and documents with respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than those to be held by the holders of any related Companion Loans) prepared by or which come into the possession of the Seller shall (subject to the rights of the holders of interests in any related Companion Loans) immediately vest in the Purchaser and immediately thereafter the Trustee. In connection with the transfer of the Mortgage Loans related to the Whole Loans 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 the Mortgage Loans related to Whole Loans) in, to and under the related Co-Lender Agreements (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 a Companion Loan Holder).

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 (i) transfer the Pooled RR Interest to the Seller or at the Seller’s direction and (ii) pay, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to the Seller or at the Seller’s direction that sum set forth in the funding schedule executed by the Seller and the Purchaser relating to the sale of the Mortgage Loans contemplated hereby (but subject to certain post-settlement adjustments for expenses incurred by the Underwriters and the Initial Purchasers on behalf of the Depositor and for which the Seller is specifically responsible).

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 and the Pooled RR Interest Owner) as the owner of such Mortgage Loan and shall be transferred promptly to the Certificate Administrator.

The transfer of each Mortgage Loan shall be reflected on the Seller’s balance sheets and other financial statements as the sale of such Mortgage Loan by the Seller to the Purchaser.

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.

SECTION 4        Treatment as a Security Agreement. Pursuant to Section 1 hereof, the Seller has 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.

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 promptly 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 and filing of, such substitute or corrected document or instrument or, with respect to any assignments that the Custodian or a third party on the Seller’s behalf 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 such third party (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 (2), (3), (6) (if recorded) and (15) of the definition of “Mortgage File” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement solely because of a delay

-5

 

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-3 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/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 Seller shall obtain therefrom and deliver to the Custodian 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 Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) to the Master Servicer, including effectuating the transfer of any letters of credit with respect to any Mortgage Loan to the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of Certificateholders, the Pooled RR Interest Owner and/or the related Companion Holder;

(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 Seller Information in the Prospectus, dated January 16, 2020 relating to the Public Certificates, the annexes and exhibits thereto and any electronic media delivered therewith, or the Offering Circular, dated January 16, 2020 relating to the Private Certificates, the annexes and exhibits thereto and any electronic media delivered therewith (collectively, the “Offering Documents”), or causes there to be an omission to state therein a material fact with respect to the Seller Information required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein with respect to the Seller Information, 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 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 Information) 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

-6

 

Documents as may be necessary so that the Seller Information in the Offering Documents, as so amended or supplemented, will not contain an untrue statement, will not, in the light of the circumstances when the Offering Documents are delivered to a purchaser, be misleading 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 10, 2020, among the Underwriters, the Initial Purchasers, the Seller and the Purchaser (the “Indemnification Agreement” and, together with this Agreement, the “Operative Documents”));

(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 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;

(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 with respect to each Mortgage Loan, 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 the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Operating Advisor (solely in its capacity as operating advisor) discovers (without implying any duty of such person to make, or to attempt to make, such a discovery) or receives notice alleging (A) 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) a breach of any representation or warranty of the Seller made pursuant to Section 6(c) of this Agreement with respect to any Mortgage Loan (a “Breach”), then such party is required to give prompt written notice thereof to the Seller.

(e)               Pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) or the applicable Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) is required to determine whether any such Document Defect or Breach with respect to any Mortgage Loan materially and adversely affects, or such Document Defect is deemed in accordance with Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to materially and adversely affect, the value of the Mortgage Loan or any related REO Property or the interests of the Trustee or the Certificateholders and the Pooled RR Interest Owner therein or causes any Mortgage Loan to fail to be a Qualified Mortgage (any such Document Defect shall constitute a “Material Document Defect” and any such Breach shall constitute a “Material Breach”; and a Material Breach and/or a Material Document Defect, as the case may be, shall constitute a “Material Defect”). The Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer may (but will not be obligated to) consult with the Master Servicer or the applicable

-13

 

Special Servicer regarding any determination of a Material Defect for a Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan. If such Document Defect or Breach has been determined to be a Material Defect, then the Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer that made such determination will be required to give prompt written notice thereof to the Seller, the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and (for so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing) the Directing Holder. Promptly upon becoming aware of any such Material Defect (including through a written notice given by any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as provided above if the Document Defect or Breach identified therein is a Material Defect), the Seller shall, not later than 90 days from the earlier of (a) the earlier of the Seller’s discovery or receipt of notice of, and receipt of a demand to take action with respect to, such Material Defect or (b) in the case of a Material Defect relating to a Mortgage Loan not being a Qualified Mortgage, any party’s discovery of such Material Defect (such 90-day period, the “Initial Cure Period”), (i) cure such Material Defect in all material respects (which cure shall include payment of any losses and Additional Trust Expenses associated therewith, including the amount of any fees and reimbursable expenses of the Asset Representations Reviewer attributable to the Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan), (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or REO Loan (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 (iii) substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (other than with respect to the related Whole Loans, for which no substitution shall be permitted) 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; provided, however, that if (i) such Material Defect is capable of being cured but not within such Initial Cure 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 Initial Cure Period, then the Seller shall have an additional 90 days (such additional 90 day period, the “Extended Cure Period”) 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 Extended Cure Period, the Seller shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee, the applicable Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Certificate Administrator setting forth the reasons such Material Defect was not cured within the Initial Cure Period and what actions the Seller is pursuing in connection with the cure of such Material Defect and stating that the Seller anticipates that such Material Defect will be cured within such Extended Cure Period); and provided, further, that, if any such Material Defect is still not cured after the Initial Cure Period and any such Extended Cure 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, repurchase or substitution obligations in respect of such Document Defect so long as the Seller certifies to the Trustee, the applicable Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor 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 the 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. 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

-14

 

monitor the Mortgage Loans regarding the existence of a Breach or a Document Defect, but if the Seller discovers a Material Defect with respect to a Mortgage Loan, it will notify the Purchaser. 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, and received by the Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust, after the related Cut-off Date through, but not including, 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 applicable 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 Seller effecting the related repurchase or substitution within two (2) Business Days following receipt of properly identified and available funds constituting such Periodic Payment. From and after the date of substitution, each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, if any, that has been substituted shall be deemed to constitute a “Mortgage Loan” hereunder for all purposes.

No delay in either the discovery of a Material Defect on the part of any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or in providing notice of such Material Defect shall relieve the Seller of its obligation to repurchase the related Mortgage Loan (if it is otherwise required to do so under this Agreement) unless (i) the Seller did not otherwise discover or have knowledge of such Material Defect, (ii) such delay is the result of the failure by a party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to provide prompt notice as required by the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement after such party has actual knowledge of such Material Defect (knowledge shall not be deemed to exist by reason of the custodian’s exception report) and such delay precludes the Seller from curing such Material Defect and (iii) provided that the Seller is afforded a cure period of 90 days from the Seller’s receipt of notice thereof, such Material Defect did not relate to a Mortgage Loan not being a Qualified Mortgage as described in this section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Mortgage Loan is not secured by a Mortgaged Property that is, in whole or in part, a hotel, restaurant (operated by a Mortgagor), healthcare facility, nursing home, assisted living facility, self-storage facility, theatre or fitness center (operated by a Mortgagor), then the failure to deliver to the Custodian copies of the UCC Financing Statements with respect to such Mortgage Loan shall not be a Material Defect.

If (i) any Mortgage Loan is required to be repurchased or substituted for in the manner described in the first paragraph of this Section 6(e), (ii) such Mortgage Loan is a Crossed Underlying Loan, and (iii) the applicable Material Defect does not constitute a Material Defect as to any other Crossed Underlying Loan in the related Crossed Mortgage Loan Group (without regard to this paragraph), then the applicable Material Defect shall be deemed to constitute a Material Defect as to each other Crossed Underlying Loan in the related Crossed Mortgage Loan Group for purposes of this paragraph, and the Seller will be required to repurchase or substitute for all of the remaining Crossed Underlying Loans in the related Crossed Mortgage Loan Group as provided in the first paragraph of this Section 6(e) unless such other Crossed Underlying Loans in such Crossed Mortgage Loan Group satisfy the Crossed Underlying Loan Repurchase Criteria. In the event that the remaining Crossed Underlying Loans satisfy the aforementioned criteria, the Seller may elect either to repurchase or substitute for only the affected Crossed

-15

 

Underlying Loan as to which the related Material Defect exists or to repurchase or substitute for all of the Crossed Underlying Loans in the related Crossed Mortgage Loan Group. The Seller shall be responsible for the cost of any Appraisal required to be obtained to determine if the Crossed Underlying Loan Repurchase Criteria have been satisfied, so long as the scope and cost of such Appraisal has been approved by the Seller (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld).

To the extent that the Seller is required to repurchase or substitute for a Crossed Underlying Loan hereunder in the manner prescribed above while the Trustee continues to hold any other Crossed Underlying Loans in the related Crossed Mortgage Loan Group, neither the Seller nor the Purchaser shall enforce any remedies against the other’s Primary Collateral, but each is permitted to exercise remedies against the Primary Collateral securing its respective related Mortgage Loans, including with respect to the Trustee, the Primary Collateral securing the Mortgage Loans still held by the Trustee.

If the exercise of remedies by one party would materially impair the ability of the other party to exercise its remedies with respect to the Primary Collateral securing the Crossed Underlying Loans held by such party, then the Seller and the Purchaser shall forbear from exercising such remedies until the Mortgage Loan documents evidencing and securing the relevant Mortgage Loans can be modified in a manner that complies with this Agreement to remove the threat of material impairment as a result of the exercise of remedies or some other accommodation can be reached. Any reserve or other cash collateral or letters of credit securing the Crossed Underlying Loans shall be allocated between such Crossed Underlying Loans in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan documents, or otherwise on a pro rata basis based upon their outstanding Stated Principal Balances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Crossed Underlying Loan included in the Trust Fund is modified to terminate the related cross-collateralization and/or cross-default provisions, as a condition to such modification, the Seller shall furnish to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator an Opinion of Counsel that any modification shall not cause an Adverse REMIC Event. Any expenses incurred by the Purchaser in connection with such modification or accommodation (including but not limited to recoverable attorney fees) shall be paid by the Seller.

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, failure of the Seller to deliver the documents referred to in clauses (1), (2), (7), (8), (18) and (19) in the definition of “Mortgage File” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in accordance with this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for any Mortgage Loan shall be deemed a Material Document Defect; provided, however, that no Document Defect (except such 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.

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

-16

 

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 Enforcing Servicer, on behalf of the Trust, and, if no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, with the consent of the Directing Holder) are able to agree upon the Loss of Value Payment for a Material 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 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.

With respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Seller agrees that if a “material document defect” (as such term or any analogous term is defined in the related Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement) exists under the related Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement with respect to the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan included in the related Non-Serviced Securitization, and such Non-Serviced Companion Loan is repurchased by or on behalf of such Seller (or other responsible repurchasing entity) from the related Non-Serviced Securitization as a result of such “material document defect” (as such term or any analogous term is defined in such Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement), then the Seller shall repurchase such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that such repurchase obligation does not apply to any “material document defect” (as such term or any analogous term is defined in the related Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement) related solely to the promissory note for such 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 applicable Special Servicer shall each tender to the repurchasing entity, upon delivery to each of them of a receipt executed by the repurchasing entity evidencing such repurchase or substitution, all portions of the Mortgage File (including, without limitation, the Servicing File) and other documents 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 repurchasing 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 have been satisfied. In the event a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan is substituted for a Mortgage Loan by the Seller as contemplated by this Section 6, the Seller shall deliver to the Custodian the related Mortgage File and to the Master Servicer all Escrow Payments and reserve funds pertaining to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan possessed by it and a certification to the effect that such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies all of the

-17

 

requirements of the definition of “Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

(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, repurchase, or substitute for, 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 Section 6(c) of this Agreement or a Document Defect with respect to any Mortgage Loan.

(i)                 The Seller shall promptly notify the Depositor if (i) the Seller receives a Repurchase Communication of a 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request (other than from the Depositor), (ii) the Seller repurchases or replaces a Mortgage Loan, (iii) the Seller receives a Repurchase Communication of a Repurchase Request Withdrawal (other than from the Depositor) or (iv) the Seller rejects or disputes any 15Ga-1 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 15Ga-1 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 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request or Repurchase Request Withdrawal was received, (y) the related Mortgage Loan was repurchased or replaced or (z) the 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request was rejected or disputed, as applicable, and (3) if known, the basis for (x) the 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request (as asserted in the 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request) or (y) any rejection or dispute of a 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request, as applicable.

The Seller shall provide to the Depositor 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 pursuant to Rule 15Ga-1 under the Exchange Act 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.

In addition, the Seller shall provide the Depositor, upon request, such other information in its possession as would permit the Depositor 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.

-18

 

The Seller agrees that no 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 2.03(b) 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 2.03(b) 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 15Ga-1 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 001798388.

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.

(j)                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Seller’s obligation in respect of a Material Defect with respect to a Joint Mortgage Loan shall be solely in respect of the Seller’s pro rata share of such Joint Mortgage Loan based on the Seller’s Mortgage Loan Seller Percentage Interest as of the date hereof in such Joint Mortgage Loan.

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 relates to defined terms contained therein or to any obligations or rights of the Seller whatsoever shall be effective against the Seller unless the Seller shall have agreed to such amendment in writing.

SECTION 19    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement in Portable Document Format (PDF) or by facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed original counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 20    Exercise of Rights. No failure or delay on the part of any party to exercise any right, power or privilege under this Agreement and no course of dealing between the Seller and the Purchaser shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

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 party 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.

SECTION 22    Miscellaneous. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof.

For the purpose of this prospectus, the assumed lockout period of 25 payment dates is based on the expected GSMS 2020-GC45 securitization closing date in January 2020. The actual lockout period may be longer.
(6) The 650 Madison Avenue Whole Loan was co-originated by Citi Real Estate Funding Inc., Goldman Sachs Bank USA, Barclays Capital Real Estate Inc. and BMO Harris Bank N.A.
(7) The Mortgaged Property's Appraised Value ($) of $1,210,000,000, represents the "Hypothetical As Is" appraised value as of October 31, 2019, which assumes that the Mortgaged Property will have in-place reserves of approximately $10,000,000 at loan origination. The “as-is” appraised value of the Mortgaged Property is $1,200,000,000 as of October 31, 2019, and results in a Cut-off Date LTV Ratio and LTV Ratio at Maturity / ARD of 48.9%.
(8) The lockout period will be at least 26 payment dates beginning with and including the First Due Date in December 2019. For the purpose of this prospectus, the assumed lockout period of 26 payment dates is based on the expected GSMS 2020-GC45 securitization closing date in January 2020. The actual lockout period may be longer.

(16) The lockout period will be at least 24 payment dates beginning with and including the First Due Date in February 2020. For the purpose of this prospectus, the assumed lockout period of 24 payment dates is based on the expected GSMS 2020-GC45 securitization closing date in January 2020. The actual lockout period may be longer.
(17) The Cut-off Date LTV Ratio and LTV Ratio at Maturity / ARD are calculated on the basis of the aggregate “as-is” appraised value of $96,580,000 plus an approximately 3.8% portfolio premium. Excluding the portfolio premium, the Cut-off Date LTV Ratio and LTV Ratio at Maturity / ARD on the basis of the aggregate “as-is” appraised value are both 59.7%.

EXHIBIT B


MORTGAGE LOAN REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

(1)Whole Loan; Ownership of Mortgage Loans. Except with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, each Mortgage Loan is a whole loan and not a participation interest in a Mortgage Loan. Each Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan is a senior or pari passu portion of a whole loan evidenced by a senior or pari passu note. At the time of the sale, transfer and assignment to Depositor, no Mortgage Note or Mortgage was subject to any assignment (other than assignments to the Seller), participation or pledge, and the Seller had good title to, and was the sole owner of, each Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, charges, pledges, encumbrances, participations, any other ownership interests on, in or to such Mortgage Loan other than any servicing rights appointment, or similar agreement, any Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and rights of the holder of a related Companion Loan pursuant to a Co-Lender Agreement. The 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 other than the rights of the holder of a related Companion Loan pursuant to a Co-Lender Agreement.
(2)Loan Document Status. Each related Mortgage Note, Mortgage, Assignment of Leases (if a separate instrument), guaranty and other agreement executed by or on behalf of the related Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor in connection with such Mortgage Loan is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the related Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor (subject to any non-recourse provisions contained in any of the foregoing agreements and any applicable state anti-deficiency or market value limit deficiency legislation), as applicable, and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (i) as such enforcement may be limited by (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (b) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (ii) that certain provisions in such Mortgage Loan documents (including, without limitation, provisions requiring the payment of default interest, late fees or prepayment/yield maintenance fees, charges and/or premiums) are, or may be, further limited or rendered unenforceable by or under applicable law, but (subject to the limitations set forth in clause (i) above) such limitations or unenforceability will not render such Mortgage Loan documents invalid as a whole or materially interfere with the Mortgagee’s realization of the principal benefits and/or security provided thereby (clauses (i) and (ii) collectively, the “Standard Qualifications”).

Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, 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

B-1

 

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 Mortgage Note, Mortgage or other Mortgage Loan documents.

(3)Mortgage Provisions. The Mortgage Loan documents for each Mortgage Loan contain provisions that render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the practical realization against the related Mortgaged Property of the principal benefits of the security intended to be provided thereby, including realization by judicial or, if applicable, nonjudicial foreclosure subject to the limitations set forth in the Standard Qualifications.
(4)Mortgage Status; Waivers and Modifications. Since origination and except by written instruments set forth in the related Mortgage File (a) the material terms of such Mortgage, Mortgage Note, Mortgage Loan guaranty, and related Mortgage Loan documents have not been waived, impaired, modified, altered, satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded in any respect which materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage; (b) no related Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof has been released from the lien of the related Mortgage in any manner which materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or the use or operation of the remaining portion of such Mortgaged Property; and (c) neither the related Mortgagor nor the related guarantor has been released from its material obligations under the related Mortgage Loan.
(5)Lien; Valid Assignment. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each Assignment of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of Leases to the Trust constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment to the Trust. 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 related Mortgaged Property in the principal amount of such Mortgage Loan or allocated loan amount (subject only to Permitted Encumbrances (as defined below) and the exceptions to paragraph (6) set forth on Exhibit C (each such exception, a “Title Exception”)), except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Standard Qualifications. Such Mortgaged Property (subject to and excepting Permitted Encumbrances and the Title Exceptions) as of origination was, and as of the Cut-off Date, to the Seller’s knowledge, is free and clear of any recorded mechanics’ liens, recorded materialmen’s liens and other recorded encumbrances which are prior to or equal with the lien of the related Mortgage, except those which are bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by a lender’s title insurance policy (as described below), and, to the Seller’s knowledge and subject to the rights of tenants (as tenants only) (subject to and excepting Permitted Encumbrances and the Title Exceptions), no rights exist which under law could give rise to any such lien or encumbrance that would be prior to or equal with the lien of the related Mortgage, except those which are bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by a lender’s title insurance policy (as described below). Notwithstanding anything in this representation 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

B-2

 

other than the filing of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements is required in order to effect such perfection.

(6)Permitted Liens; Title Insurance. Each Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan is covered by an American Land Title Association loan title insurance policy or a comparable form of loan title insurance policy approved for use in the applicable jurisdiction (or, if such policy is yet to be issued, by a pro forma policy, a preliminary title policy with escrow instructions or a “marked up” commitment, in each case binding on the title insurer) (the “Title Policy”) in the original principal amount of such Mortgage Loan (or with respect to a Mortgage Loan secured by multiple properties, an amount equal to at least the allocated loan amount with respect to the Title Policy for each such property) after all advances of principal (including any advances held in escrow or reserves), that insures for the benefit of the owner of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage, the first priority lien of the Mortgage, which lien is subject only to (a) the lien of current real property taxes, water charges, sewer rents and assessments due and payable but not yet delinquent; (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public record; (c) the exceptions (general and specific) and exclusions set forth in such Title Policy; (d) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject; (e) the rights of tenants (as tenants only) under leases (including subleases) pertaining to the related Mortgaged Property and condominium declarations; (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 Crossed Mortgage Loan Group; and (g) if the related Mortgage Loan is part of a Whole Loan, the rights of the holder(s) of any related Companion Loan(s) pursuant to the related Co-Lender Agreement; provided that none of items (a) through (g), individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely interferes with the value or current use of the Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or the Mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations when they become due (collectively, the “Permitted Encumbrances”). Except as contemplated by clauses (f) and (g) 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 a Mortgage Loan, has done, by act or omission, anything that would materially impair the coverage under such Title Policy.
(7)Junior Liens. It being understood that B notes secured by the same Mortgage as a Mortgage Loan are not subordinate mortgages or junior liens, except for any Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with another Mortgage Loan, there are no subordinate mortgages or junior liens securing the payment of money encumbering the related Mortgaged Property (other than Permitted Encumbrances and the Title Exceptions, taxes and assessments, mechanics and materialmens liens (which are the subject of the representation in paragraph (5) above), and equipment and other personal property financing). Except as set forth on an exhibit to the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Seller has no knowledge of any mezzanine debt secured directly by interests in the related Mortgagor.

B-3

 

(8)Assignment of Leases and Rents. There exists as part of the related Mortgage File an Assignment of Leases (either as a separate instrument or incorporated into the related Mortgage). Subject to the Permitted Encumbrances and the Title Exceptions, each related Assignment of Leases creates a valid first-priority collateral assignment of, or a valid first-priority lien or security interest in, rents and certain rights under the related lease or leases, subject only to a license granted to the related Mortgagor to exercise certain rights and to perform certain obligations of the lessor under such lease or leases, including the right to operate the related leased property, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Standard Qualifications. The related Mortgage or related Assignment of Leases, subject to applicable law, provides that, upon an event of default under each Mortgage Loan, a receiver is permitted to be appointed for the collection of rents or for the related Mortgagee to enter into possession to collect the rents or for rents to be paid directly to the Mortgagee.
(9)UCC Filings. If the related Mortgaged Property is operated as a hospitality property, the Seller has filed and/or recorded or caused to be filed and/or recorded (or, if not filed and/or recorded, submitted in proper form for filing and/or recording), UCC Financing Statements in the appropriate public filing and/or recording offices necessary at the time of the origination of the related Mortgage Loan to perfect a valid security interest in all items of physical personal property reasonably necessary to operate such Mortgaged Property owned by such Mortgagor and located on the related Mortgaged Property (other than any non-material personal property, any personal property subject to a purchase money security interest, a sale and leaseback financing arrangement as permitted under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents or any other personal property leases applicable to such personal property), to the extent perfection may be effected pursuant to applicable law by recording or filing, as the case may be. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each related Mortgage (or equivalent document) creates a valid and enforceable lien and security interest on the items of personalty described above. No representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of UCC Financing Statements are required in order to effect such perfection.
(10)Condition of Property. The Seller or the originator of each Mortgage Loan inspected or caused to be inspected each related Mortgaged Property within six months of origination of the related Mortgage Loan and within thirteen 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 thirteen months prior to the Cut-off Date. To the Seller’s knowledge, based solely upon due diligence customarily performed in connection with the origination of comparable mortgage loans, as of the Closing Date, each related Mortgaged Property was free and clear of any material damage (other than deferred maintenance for which escrows were established at origination) that would affect materially and adversely the use or value of such Mortgaged Property as security for the Mortgage Loan.

B-4

 

(11)Taxes and Assessments. All taxes, governmental assessments and other outstanding governmental charges (including, without limitation, water and sewage charges), or installments thereof, which could be a lien on the related Mortgaged Property that would be of equal or superior priority to the lien of the Mortgage and that prior to the Cut-off Date have become delinquent in respect of each related Mortgaged Property have been paid, or an escrow of funds has been established in an amount sufficient to cover such payments and reasonably estimated interest and penalties, if any, thereon. For purposes of this representation and warranty, real estate taxes and governmental assessments and other outstanding governmental charges and installments thereof shall not be considered delinquent until the earlier of (a) the date on which interest and/or penalties would first be payable thereon and (b) the date on which enforcement action is entitled to be taken by the related taxing authority.
(12)Condemnation. As of the date of origination and to the Seller’s knowledge as of the Cut-off Date, there is no proceeding pending, and, to the Seller’s knowledge as of the date of origination and as of the Cut-off Date, there is no proceeding threatened, for the total or partial condemnation of such Mortgaged Property that would have a material adverse effect on the value, use or operation of such Mortgaged Property.
(13)Actions Concerning Mortgage Loan. As of the date of origination and to the Seller’s knowledge as of the Cut-off Date, there was no pending or filed action, suit or proceeding, arbitration or governmental investigation involving any Mortgagor, guarantor, or Mortgagor’s interest in the related Mortgaged Property, an adverse outcome of which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect (a) such Mortgagor’s title to such Mortgaged Property, (b) the validity or enforceability of the Mortgage, (c) such Mortgagor’s ability to perform under the related Mortgage Loan, (d) such guarantor’s ability to perform under the related guaranty, (e) the principal benefit of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage Loan documents or (f) the current principal use of the Mortgaged Property.
(14)Escrow Deposits. All escrow deposits and payments required to be escrowed with Mortgagee pursuant to each Mortgage Loan 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 to be escrowed with the related Mortgagee under the related Mortgage Loan documents are being conveyed by the Seller to the Depositor or its servicer.
(15)No Holdbacks. The principal amount of each 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 or other matters with respect to the related Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or other considerations determined by the Seller to merit such holdback).

B-5

 

(16)Insurance. Each related Mortgaged Property is, and is required pursuant to the related Mortgage to be, insured by a property insurance policy providing coverage for loss in accordance with coverage found under a “special cause of loss form” or “all risk form” that includes replacement cost valuation issued by an insurer meeting the requirements of the related Mortgage Loan documents and having a claims-paying or financial strength rating of at least “A-:VIII” from A.M. Best Company or “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or “A-” from S&P Global Ratings, acting through Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC (collectively the “Insurance Rating Requirements”), in an amount (subject to a customary deductible) not less than the lesser of (1) the original principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan and (2) the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the improvements, furniture, furnishings, fixtures and equipment owned by the related Mortgagor and included in such Mortgaged Property (with no deduction for physical depreciation), but, in any event, not less than the amount necessary or containing such endorsements as are necessary to avoid the operation of any coinsurance provisions with respect to the related Mortgaged Property.

Each related Mortgaged Property is also covered, and required to be covered pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan documents, by business interruption or rental loss insurance which (subject to a customary deductible) covers a period of not less than 12 months (or with respect to each Mortgage Loan on a single asset with a principal balance of $50 million or more, 18 months).

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 a “Special Flood Hazard Area,” the related Mortgagor is required to maintain insurance in the maximum amount available under the National Flood Insurance Program (irrespective of whether such coverage is provided pursuant to a National Flood Insurance Program policy or through a private policy), plus such additional flood coverage in an amount as is generally required by the Seller for comparable mortgage loans intended for securitization.

If a Mortgaged Property is located within 25 miles of the coast of the Gulf of Mexico or the Atlantic coast of Florida, Georgia, South Carolina or North Carolina, the related Mortgagor is required to maintain coverage for windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or “named storms” issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements or endorsement covering damage from windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or named storms, in an amount not less than the lesser of (1) the original principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan and (2) 100% of the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the improvements and personalty and fixtures included in the related Mortgaged Property by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements.

Each Mortgaged Property is covered, and required to be covered pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan documents, by a commercial general liability insurance policy issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements including coverage for property damage, contractual damage and personal injury (including bodily injury and death) in

B-6

 

amounts as are generally required by prudent institutional commercial mortgage lenders, 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 Mortgaged Property 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 scenario expected limit (“SEL”) for the Mortgaged Property in the event of an earthquake. In such instance, the SEL 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 SEL would exceed 20% of the amount of the replacement costs of the improvements, earthquake insurance on such Mortgaged Property was obtained from 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 S&P Global Ratings, acting through Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC in an amount not less than 100% of the SEL.

The Mortgage Loan documents for each Mortgage Loan 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 (or related Whole Loan), the Mortgagee (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 Mortgagee under each Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns as a loss payee under a mortgagee endorsement clause or, in the case of the related general liability insurance policy, as named or additional insured. Such insurance policies will inure to the benefit of the Trustee. Each related Mortgage Loan obligates the related Mortgagor to maintain all such insurance and, at such Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the Mortgagee to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s reasonable 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 Mortgagee of termination or cancellation arising because of nonpayment of a premium and at least 30 days’ prior notice to the Mortgagee 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.

(17)Access; Utilities; Separate Tax Lots. Each Mortgaged Property (a) is located on or adjacent to a public road and has direct legal access to such road, or has access via an irrevocable easement or irrevocable right of way permitting ingress and egress to/from a public road, (b) is served by or has uninhibited access rights to public or private water and sewer (or well and septic) and all required utilities, all of which are appropriate for the current use of such 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

B-7

 

Property, or in certain cases, an application has been, or will be, made to the applicable governing authority for creation of separate tax lots, in which case the related Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to escrow an amount sufficient to pay taxes for the existing tax parcel of which such Mortgaged Property is a part until the separate tax lots are created.

(18)No Encroachments. To the Seller’s knowledge based solely on surveys obtained in connection with origination and the Mortgagee’s Title Policy (or, if such policy is not yet issued, a pro forma title policy, a preliminary title policy with escrow instructions or a “marked up” commitment) obtained in connection with the origination of each Mortgage Loan, all material improvements that were included for the purpose of determining the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property at the time of the origination of such Mortgage Loan are within the boundaries of the related Mortgaged Property, except encroachments that do not materially and adversely affect the value or current use of such Mortgaged Property or for which insurance or endorsements were obtained under the Title Policy. No improvements on adjoining parcels encroach onto the related Mortgaged Property except for encroachments that do not materially and adversely affect the value or current use of such Mortgaged Property or for which insurance or endorsements were obtained under the Title Policy. No improvements encroach upon any easements except for encroachments the removal of which would not materially and adversely affect the value or current use of such Mortgaged Property or for which insurance or endorsements were obtained under the Title Policy.
(19)No Contingent Interest or Equity Participation. No Mortgage Loan has a shared appreciation feature, any other contingent interest feature or a negative amortization feature (except that an ARD Loan may provide for the accrual of the portion of interest in excess of the rate in effect prior to the Anticipated Repayment Date) or an equity participation by the Seller.
(20)REMIC. Each 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 (A) the amount of any lien on the real property interest that is senior to the Mortgage Loan and (B) a proportionate amount of any lien that is in parity with the Mortgage Loan; or (b) substantially all of the proceeds of such Mortgage Loan were used to acquire, improve or protect the real property which served as the only security for such Mortgage Loan (other than a recourse feature or other third-party credit enhancement within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(1)(ii)). If

B-8

 

the Mortgage Loan was “significantly modified” prior to the Closing Date so as to result in a taxable exchange under Section 1001 of the Code, it either (x) was modified as a result of the default or reasonably foreseeable default of such Mortgage Loan or (y) satisfies the provisions of either sub-clause (B)(a)(i) above (substituting the date of the last such modification for the date the Mortgage Loan was originated) or sub-clause (B)(a)(ii), including the proviso thereto. Any prepayment premium and yield maintenance charges applicable to the Mortgage Loan constitute “customary prepayment penalties” within the meaning of 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.

(21)Compliance with Usury Laws. The Mortgage Rate (exclusive of any default interest, late charges, yield maintenance charge, or prepayment premiums) of each Mortgage Loan complied as of the date of origination with, or was exempt from, applicable state or federal laws, regulations and other requirements pertaining to usury.
(22)Authorized to do Business. To the extent required under applicable law, as of the Cut-off Date or as of the date that such entity held the Mortgage Note, each holder of the Mortgage Note was authorized to originate, acquire and/or hold (as applicable) the Mortgage Note in the jurisdiction in which each related Mortgaged Property is located, or the failure to be so authorized does not materially and adversely affect the enforceability of such Mortgage Loan by the Trust.
(23)Trustee under Deed of Trust. With respect to each Mortgage which is a deed of trust, as of the date of origination and, to the Seller’s knowledge, as of the Closing Date, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, currently so serves and is named in the deed of trust or has been substituted in accordance with the Mortgage and applicable law or may be substituted in accordance with the Mortgage and applicable law by the related Mortgagee.
(24)Local Law Compliance. To the Seller’s knowledge, based upon any of a letter from any governmental authorities, a legal opinion, an architect’s letter, a zoning consultant’s report, an endorsement to the related Title Policy, or other affirmative investigation of local law compliance consistent with the investigation conducted by the Seller for similar commercial and multifamily mortgage loans intended for securitization, there are no material violations of applicable zoning ordinances, building codes and land laws (collectively “Zoning Regulations”) with respect to the improvements located on or forming part of each Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan as of the date of origination of such Mortgage Loan (or related Whole Loan, as applicable) and as of the Cut-off Date, other than those which (i) are insured by the Title Policy or a law and ordinance insurance policy or (ii) would not have a material adverse effect on the value, operation or net operating income of the related Mortgaged Property. The terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents require the Mortgagor to comply in all material respects with all applicable governmental regulations, zoning and building laws.
(25)Licenses and Permits. Each Mortgagor covenants in the related Mortgage Loan documents that it shall keep all material licenses, permits and applicable governmental

B-9

 

authorizations necessary for its operation of the related 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 and applicable governmental authorizations are in effect. Each Mortgage Loan requires the related Mortgagor to be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is located.

(26)Recourse Obligations. The Mortgage Loan documents for each Mortgage Loan provide that such Mortgage Loan (a) becomes full recourse to the Mortgagor and guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity distinct from the Mortgagor (but may be affiliated with the Mortgagor) that has assets other than equity in the related Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis) in any of the following events: (i) if any voluntary petition for bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or liquidation pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law, shall be filed by the related Mortgagor; (ii) the Mortgagor or guarantor shall have colluded with (or, alternatively, solicited or caused to be solicited) other creditors to cause an involuntary bankruptcy filing with respect to such Mortgagor or (iii) voluntary transfers of either the Mortgaged Property or equity interests in the Mortgagor made in violation of the related Mortgage Loan documents; and (b) contains provisions providing for recourse against the Mortgagor and guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity distinct from the Mortgagor (but may be affiliated with the Mortgagor) that has assets other than equity in the related Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis), for losses and damages sustained by reason of such Mortgagor’s (i) misappropriation of rents after the occurrence of an event of default under the Mortgage Loan; (ii) misappropriation of (A) insurance proceeds or condemnation awards or (B) security deposits or, alternatively, the failure of any security deposits to be delivered to Mortgagee upon foreclosure or action in lieu thereof (except to the extent applied in accordance with leases prior to a Mortgage Loan event of default); (iii) fraud or intentional material misrepresentation; (iv) breaches of the environmental covenants in the Mortgage Loan documents; or (v) commission of intentional material physical waste at the Mortgaged Property (but, in some cases, only to the extent there is sufficient cash flow generated by the related Mortgaged Property to prevent such waste).
(27)Mortgage Releases. The terms of the related Mortgage or related Mortgage Loan documents do not provide for release of any material portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage except (a) a partial release, accompanied by principal repayment, of not less than a specified percentage at least equal to the lesser of (i) 110% of the related allocated loan amount of such portion of the Mortgaged Property and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, (b) upon payment in full of such Mortgage Loan, (c) upon a Defeasance (as defined in (32) below), (d) releases of out-parcels that are unimproved or other portions of the Mortgaged Property which will not have a material adverse effect on the underwritten value of such 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

B-10

 

to an order of condemnation or taking by a State or any political subdivision or authority thereof. 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 all Mortgage Loans originated after December 6, 2010, if the fair market value of the real property constituting such Mortgaged Property after the release is not equal to at least 80% of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (or related Whole Loan) outstanding after the release, the related Mortgagor is required to make a payment of principal in an amount not less than the amount required by the REMIC Provisions.

With respect to any partial release under the preceding clause (e), for all Mortgage Loans originated after December 6, 2010, the Mortgagor can be required to pay down the principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan in an amount not less than the amount required by the REMIC Provisions 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 is not equal to at least 80% of the remaining principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (or related Whole Loan).

No 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 partial condemnation, other than in compliance with the REMIC Provisions.

(28)Financial Reporting and Rent Rolls. The Mortgage Loan documents for each Mortgage Loan require the related 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 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.
(29)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, as amended by the

B-11

 

Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2015 (collectively referred to as “TRIA”), from coverage, or if such coverage is excluded, it is covered by a separate terrorism insurance policy. With respect to each 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; provided, however, that if TRIA or a similar or subsequent statute is not in effect, then provided that terrorism insurance is commercially available, the Mortgagor under each Mortgage Loan is required to carry terrorism insurance, but in such event the Mortgagor shall not be required to spend more than the Terrorism Cap Amount on terrorism insurance coverage, and if the cost of terrorism insurance exceeds the Terrorism Cap Amount, the Mortgagor is required to purchase the maximum amount of terrorism insurance available with funds equal to the Terrorism Cap Amount. The “Terrorism Cap Amount” is the specified percentage (which is at least equal to 200%) of the amount of the insurance premium that is payable at such time in respect of the property and business interruption/rental loss insurance required under the related Mortgage Loan documents (without giving effect to the cost of terrorism and earthquake components of such casualty and business interruption/rental loss insurance).

(30)Due on Sale or Encumbrance. Subject to specific exceptions set forth below, each Mortgage Loan contains a “due on sale” or other such provision for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan if, without the consent of the holder of the Mortgage (which consent, in some cases, may not be unreasonably withheld) and/or complying with the requirements of the related Mortgage Loan documents (which provide for transfers without the consent of the Mortgagee which are customarily acceptable to prudent commercial and multifamily mortgage lending institutions lending on the security of property comparable to the related Mortgaged Property, including, without limitation, transfers of worn-out or obsolete furnishings, fixtures, or equipment promptly replaced with property of equivalent value and functionality and transfers by leases entered into in accordance with the Mortgage Loan documents), (a) the related Mortgaged Property, or any equity interest of greater than 50% in the related Mortgagor, is directly or indirectly pledged, transferred or sold, other than as related to (i) family and estate planning transfers or transfers upon death or legal incapacity, (ii) transfers to certain affiliates as defined in the related Mortgage Loan documents, (iii) transfers of less than, or other than, a controlling interest in the related Mortgagor, (iv) transfers to another holder of direct or indirect equity in the Mortgagor, a specific Person designated in the related Mortgage Loan documents or a Person satisfying specific criteria identified in the related Mortgage Loan documents, such as a qualified equityholder, (v) transfers of stock or similar equity units in publicly traded companies or (vi) a substitution or release of collateral within the parameters of paragraphs (27) and (32) in this Exhibit B or the exceptions thereto set forth on Exhibit C, or (vii) any mezzanine debt that existed at the origination of the related Mortgage Loan as set forth on an exhibit to the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, or future permitted

B-12

 

mezzanine debt as set forth on an exhibit to the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement 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, as set forth on an exhibit to the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement 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 related Mortgagor is responsible for such payment along with all other reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by the Mortgagee relative to such transfer or encumbrance.

(31)Single-Purpose Entity. Each Mortgage Loan requires the related Mortgagor to be a Single-Purpose Entity for at least as long as the related 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 Principal Balance in excess of $5 million provide that such Mortgagor is a Single-Purpose Entity, and each Mortgage Loan with a Cut-off Date Principal Balance of $20 million or more has a counsel’s opinion regarding non-consolidation of the related 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 Principal 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.
(32)Defeasance. With respect to any Mortgage Loan that, pursuant to the Mortgage Loan documents, can be defeased (a “Defeasance”), (i) the related 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) such 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 the maturity date or, if the Mortgage Loan is an ARD Loan, the entire principal balance outstanding on the related Anticipated Repayment Date (or on or after the first date on which payment may be made

B-13

 

without payment of a yield maintenance charge or prepayment penalty), and if the Mortgage Loan permits partial releases of real property in connection with partial defeasance, the revenues from the collateral will be sufficient to pay all such scheduled payments calculated on a principal amount equal to a specified percentage at least equal to the lesser of (A) 110% of the allocated loan amount for the real property to be released and (B) the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan; (iv) 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 Mortgage Note as set forth in (iii) above, (v) if the Mortgagor would continue to own assets in addition to the defeasance collateral, the portion of the Mortgage Loan secured by defeasance collateral is required to be assumed (or the Mortgagee may require such assumption) by a Single-Purpose Entity; (vi) 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 (vii) 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 out-of-pocket expenses associated with defeasance, including, but not limited to, accountant’s fees and opinions of counsel.

(33)Fixed Interest Rates. Each Mortgage Loan bears interest at a rate that remains fixed throughout the remaining term of such Mortgage Loan, except in the case of any ARD Loan and situations where default interest is imposed.
(34)Ground Leases. For purposes of this Exhibit B, a “Ground Lease” shall mean a lease creating a leasehold estate in real property where the fee owner as the ground lessor conveys for a term or terms of years its entire interest in the land and buildings and other improvements, if any, comprising the premises demised under such lease to the ground lessee (who may, in certain circumstances, own the building and improvements on the land), subject to the reversionary interest of the ground lessor as fee owner and does not include industrial development agency (IDA) or similar leases for purposes of conferring a tax abatement or other benefit.

With respect to any Mortgage Loan where the Mortgage Loan is secured by a leasehold estate under a Ground Lease in whole or in part, and the related Mortgage does not also encumber the related lessor’s fee interest in such Mortgaged Property, based upon the terms of the Ground Lease and any estoppel or other agreement received from the ground lessor in favor of the Seller, its successors and assigns, the Seller represents and warrants that:

(a)               The Ground Lease or a memorandum regarding such Ground Lease has been duly recorded or submitted for recordation in a form that is acceptable for recording in the applicable jurisdiction. The Ground Lease or an estoppel or other agreement received from the ground lessor permits the interest of the lessee to be encumbered by the related Mortgage and does not restrict the use of the related Mortgaged Property by such lessee, its successors or assigns in a manner that would materially adversely affect the security provided by the related Mortgage. No material change in the terms of the Ground Lease had occurred since the origination of the Mortgage Loan, except as reflected in any written instruments which are included in the related Mortgage File;

B-14

 

(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 or modified, or canceled or terminated by agreement of lessor and lessee, without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee;

(c)               The Ground Lease has an original term (or an original term plus one or more optional renewal terms, which, under all circumstances, may be exercised, and will be enforceable, by either Mortgagor or the Mortgagee) that extends not less than 20 years beyond the stated maturity of the related Mortgage Loan, or 10 years past the stated maturity if such Mortgage Loan fully amortizes by the stated maturity (or with respect to a Mortgage Loan that accrues on an actual 360 basis, substantially amortizes);

(d)               The Ground Lease either (i) is not subject to any 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 or (ii) is subject to a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement to which the Mortgagee on the lessor’s fee interest in the Mortgaged Property is subject;

(e)               The Ground Lease does not place commercially unreasonably 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 (provided that proper notice is delivered to the extent required in accordance with the Ground Lease), 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 (but with prior notice to) the lessor;

(f)                The Seller has not received any written notice of material default under or notice of termination of such Ground Lease. To the Seller’s knowledge, there is no material default under such Ground Lease and no condition that, but for the passage of time or giving of notice, would result in a material 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 Mortgagee written notice of any default, and provides that no notice of default or termination is effective against the Mortgagee unless such notice is given to the Mortgagee;

(h)               The Mortgagee 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 Mortgagee’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 a prudent commercial mortgage lender;

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 (i) de minimis amounts for minor casualties or (ii) 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 Mortgagee 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 substantially total 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 the 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 Mortgagee cures any defaults which are susceptible to being cured, the ground lessor has agreed to enter into a new lease with the Mortgagee upon termination of the Ground Lease for any reason, including rejection of the Ground Lease in a bankruptcy proceeding.

(35)Servicing. The servicing and collection practices used by the Seller with respect to the Mortgage Loans have been, in all respects, legal and have met customary industry standards for servicing of commercial loans for conduit loan programs.
(36)Origination and Underwriting. The origination practices of the Seller (or the related originator if the Seller was not the originator) with respect to each Mortgage Loan have been, in all material respects, legal and as of the date of its origination, such Mortgage Loan (or the related Whole Loan, as applicable) and the origination thereof complied in all material respects with, or was exempt from, all requirements of federal, state or local law relating to the origination of such Mortgage Loan; provided that such representation and warranty does not address or otherwise cover any matters with respect to federal, state or local law otherwise covered in this Exhibit B.
(37)No Material Default; Payment Record. No Mortgage Loan has been more than 30 days delinquent, without giving effect to any grace or cure period, in making required debt service payments since origination, and as of the date hereof, no Mortgage Loan is more than 30 days delinquent (beyond any applicable grace or cure period) in making required payments as of the Closing Date. To the Seller’s knowledge, there is (a) no material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under any 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, which default, breach,

B-16

 

violation or event of acceleration, in the case of either (a) or (b), materially and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan or the value, use or operation of the related Mortgaged Property, 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 this Exhibit B (including, but not limited to, the prior sentence). No person other than the holder of any Mortgage Loan may declare any event of default under the Mortgage Loan or accelerate any indebtedness under such Mortgage Loan documents.

(38)Bankruptcy. As of the date of origination of the related Mortgage Loan and to the Seller’s knowledge as of the Cut-off Date, neither the Mortgaged Property (other than any tenants of such Mortgaged Property), nor any portion thereof, is the subject of, and no Mortgagor, guarantor or tenant occupying a single-tenant property is a debtor in state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding.
(39)Organization of Mortgagor. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, in reliance on certified copies of the organizational documents of the related Mortgagor delivered by such Mortgagor in connection with the origination of such Mortgage Loan (or the related Whole Loan, as applicable), the Mortgagor is an entity organized under the laws of a state of the United States of America, the District of Columbia or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Except with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with another Mortgage Loan, no Mortgage Loan has a Mortgagor that is an affiliate of another Mortgagor under another Mortgage Loan.
(40)Environmental Conditions. A Phase I environmental site assessment (or update of a previous Phase I and or Phase II site assessment) and, with respect to certain Mortgage Loans, a Phase II environmental site assessment (collectively, an “ESA”) meeting ASTM requirements were conducted by a reputable environmental consultant in connection with such Mortgage Loan within 12 months prior to its origination date (or an update of a previous ESA was prepared), and such ESA (i) did not identify the existence of recognized environmental conditions (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-05 or its successor, an “Environmental Condition”) at the related Mortgaged Property or the need for further investigation, or (ii) if the existence of an Environmental Condition or need for further investigation was indicated in any such ESA, then at least one of the following statements is true: (A) an amount reasonably estimated by a reputable environmental consultant to be sufficient to cover the estimated cost to cure any material noncompliance with applicable Environmental Laws or the Environmental Condition has been escrowed by the related Mortgagor and is held or controlled by the related Mortgagee; (B) if the only Environmental Condition relates to the presence of asbestos-containing materials, radon in indoor air, lead based paint or lead in drinking water, the only recommended action in the ESA is the institution of such a plan, an operations or maintenance plan has been required to be instituted by the related Mortgagor that, based on the ESA, can reasonably be expected to mitigate the identified risk; (C) the Environmental Condition identified in the related environmental report was remediated or abated in all material respects prior to the date hereof, and, if and as appropriate, a no further action or closure letter was obtained from the applicable governmental regulatory authority (or the environmental issue affecting the related Mortgaged Property was otherwise listed by

B-17

 

such governmental authority as “closed” or a reputable environmental consultant has concluded that no further action is required); (D) an environmental policy or a lender’s pollution legal liability insurance policy meeting the requirements set forth below that covers liability for the identified circumstance or condition was obtained from an insurer rated no less than “A-” (or the equivalent) by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., S&P Global Ratings, acting through Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC and/or Fitch Ratings, Inc.; (E) a party not related to the Mortgagor was identified as the responsible party for such condition or circumstance and such responsible party has financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to address the situation; or (F) a party related to the Mortgagor having financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to address the situation is required to take action. To the Seller’s knowledge, except as set forth in the ESA, there is no Environmental Condition (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-05 or its successor) at the related Mortgaged Property.

(41)Appraisal. The Mortgage File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property with an appraisal date within 6 months of the Mortgage Loan origination date, and within 12 months of the Closing Date. The appraisal is signed by an appraiser who is a Member of the Appraisal Institute (“MAI”) and, to the Seller’s knowledge, had no interest, direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged Property or the Mortgagor or in any loan made on the security thereof, and whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan. Each appraiser has represented in such appraisal or in a supplemental letter that the appraisal satisfies the requirements of the “Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice” as adopted by the Appraisal Standards Board of the Appraisal Foundation. Each appraisal contains a statement, or is accompanied by a letter from the appraiser, to the effect that the appraisal was performed in accordance with the requirements of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989, as in effect on the date such Mortgage Loan was originated.
(42)Mortgage Loan Schedule. The information pertaining to each Mortgage Loan which is set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule attached as an exhibit to the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement is true and correct in all material respects as of the Cut-off Date and contains all information required by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to be contained on the Mortgage Loan Schedule attached to the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.
(43)Cross-Collateralization. Except with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan no Mortgage Loan is cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted with any other mortgage loan that is outside the Mortgage Pool, except as set forth on Exhibit C.
(44)Advance of Funds by the Seller. After origination, no advance of funds has been made by the Seller to the related Mortgagor other than in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan documents, and, to the Seller’s knowledge, no funds have been received from any person other than the related Mortgagor or an affiliate for, or on account of, payments due on the Mortgage Loan (other than as contemplated by the Mortgage Loan documents, such as, by way of example and not in limitation of the foregoing, amounts paid by the tenant(s) into a Mortgagee-controlled lockbox if required or contemplated under the related lease or Mortgage Loan documents). Neither the Seller nor any affiliate thereof

B-18

 

has any obligation to make any capital contribution to any Mortgagor under a Mortgage Loan, other than contributions made on or prior to the date hereof.

(45)Compliance with Anti-Money Laundering Laws. The Seller has complied in all material respects with all applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including without limitation the USA Patriot Act of 2001 with respect to the origination of the Mortgage Loans.

For purposes of these representations and warranties, “Mortgagee” means the mortgagee, grantee or beneficiary under any Mortgage, any holder of legal title to any portion of any Mortgage Loan or, if applicable, any agent or servicer on behalf of such party.

For purposes of these representations and warranties, the phrases “the Seller’s knowledge” or “the Seller’s belief” and other words and phrases of like import mean, except where otherwise expressly set forth in these representations and warranties, the actual state of knowledge or belief of the Seller, its officers and employees directly responsible for the underwriting, origination, servicing or sale of the Mortgage Loans regarding the matters expressly set forth in these representations and warranties.

The Mortgage Loan was closed with Shari’ah compliant Mortgage Loan documentation. The Mortgagor leases the entire Mortgaged Property to a single-purpose master lessee (the “Master Tenant”). The Master Tenant operates the Mortgaged Property in accordance with the terms of a master lease. The Master Tenant in turn sub-leases the Mortgaged Property to an operating company (the “Operating Company”), which in turn leases the Mortgaged Property to the end-user tenant. The Operating Company operates the Mortgaged Property in accordance with the terms of the sub-lease. The master lease and the sub-lease are subordinate to the Mortgage Loan Documents. The Operating Company entered into an Assignment of Leases and Returns with respect to the Mortgaged Property in favor of the Master Tenant, which document collaterally assigns the rights to collect such rents (upon a default under the sub-lease) to the Master Tenant. The Master Tenant in turn entered into an Assignment of Leases and Rents with respect to the Mortgaged Property in favor of the Mortgagor, which document collaterally assigns the rights to collect such rents (upon a default under the master lease) to the Mortgagor. The Mortgagor then collaterally assigned this document to the Mortgagee as security for the Mortgage Loan.

In exchange for the Mortgage Loans and the other mortgage loans and the trust subordinate companion loan, the Trust will issue to, or at the direction of the Depositor, certificates to be known as GS Mortgage Securities Trust 2020-GC45, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2020-GC45 (collectively, the “Certificates”) and the Pooled RR Interest will be created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Mortgage Loan identified on Exhibit B to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as “650 Madison Avenue” (the “650 Madison Avenue Mortgage Loan”) is a Joint Mortgage Loan with respect to the Seller that is part of a Whole Loan that was co-originated by the Seller, Barclays Capital Real Estate Inc., BMO Harris Bank N.A. and Goldman Sachs Bank USA, and the Seller is only selling to the Purchaser the related Mortgage Note(s) in favor of the Seller (or one of its affiliates) and its successors and assigns in the original principal amount of $25,000,000 with respect to the 650 Madison Avenue Mortgage Loan, representing the 50% pari passu interest of the Seller in the 650 Madison Avenue Mortgage Loan (and only such Mortgage Note(s) will constitute a “Mortgage Loan” or “Mortgage Note(s)” hereunder).

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:

interest and principal received on or with respect to the Mortgage Loans after the Cut-off Date, (excluding payments of principal, interest and other amounts due and payable on the Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-off Date and excluding any Retained Defeasance Rights and Obligations with respect to the Mortgage Loans). 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 the holders of interests in any related Companion Loans) will be vested in the Purchaser and immediately thereafter the Trustee, and the ownership of records and documents with respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than those to be held by the holders of any related Companion Loans) prepared by or which come into the possession of the Seller shall (subject to the rights of the holders of interests in any related Companion Loans) immediately vest in the Purchaser and immediately thereafter the Trustee. In connection with the transfer of the Mortgage Loans related to the Whole Loans 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 the Mortgage Loans related to Whole Loans) in, to and under the related Co-Lender Agreements (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 a Companion Loan Holder).

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 (i) transfer $11,954,464 Certificate Balance of the Class RR Certificates to the Seller or at the Seller’s direction (which Class RR Certificates will be deemed to be transferred from the Purchaser to Goldman Sachs Mortgage Company (“GSMC”) and from GSMC to the Seller) and (ii) pay, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to the Seller or at the Seller’s direction that sum set forth in the funding schedule executed by the Seller and the Purchaser relating to the sale of the Mortgage Loans contemplated hereby (but subject to certain post-settlement adjustments for expenses incurred by the Underwriters and the Initial Purchasers on behalf of the Depositor and for which the Seller is specifically responsible).

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 and the Pooled RR Interest Owner) as the owner of such Mortgage Loan and shall be transferred promptly to the Certificate Administrator.

The transfer of each Mortgage Loan shall be reflected on the Seller’s balance sheets and other financial statements as the sale of such Mortgage Loan by the Seller to the Purchaser.

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.

(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 to or deposit with (or cause to be delivered to or deposited with) the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee), with copies to be delivered to the Master Servicer (other than with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), 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 and the Master Servicer 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 or other communications, credit underwriting, due diligence analyses or data or internal worksheets, memoranda, communications or evaluations.

SECTION 4        Treatment as a Security Agreement. Pursuant to Section 1 hereof, the Seller has 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:

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 promptly 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 and filing of, such substitute or corrected document or instrument or, with respect to any assignments that the Custodian or a third party on the Seller’s behalf 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 such third party (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 (2), (3), (6) (if recorded) and (15) 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-3 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/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 Seller shall obtain therefrom and deliver to the Custodian 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 Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) to the Master Servicer, including effectuating the transfer of any letters of credit with respect to any Mortgage Loan to the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of Certificateholders, the Pooled RR Interest Owner and/or the related Companion Holder;

If as a result of any such event the Dealers’ legal counsel determines that it is necessary to amend or supplement 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 Information) 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 Seller Information in the Offering Documents, as so amended or supplemented, will not contain an untrue statement, will not, in the light of the circumstances when the Offering Documents are delivered to a purchaser, be misleading and will comply with applicable law.

Promptly upon becoming aware of any such Material Defect (including through a written notice given by any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as provided above if the Document Defect or Breach identified therein is a Material Defect), the Seller shall, not later than 90 days from the earlier of (a) the earlier of the Seller’s discovery or receipt of notice of, and receipt of a demand to take action with respect to, such Material Defect or (b) in the case of a Material Defect relating to a Mortgage Loan not being a Qualified Mortgage, any party’s discovery of such Material Defect (such 90-day period, the “Initial Cure Period”), (i) cure such Material Defect in all material respects (which cure shall include payment of any losses and Additional Trust Expenses associated therewith, including the amount of any fees and reimbursable expenses of the Asset Representations Reviewer attributable to the Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan), (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or REO Loan (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 (iii) substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (other than with respect to the related Whole Loans, for which no substitution shall be permitted) 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; provided, however, that if (i) such Material Defect is capable of being cured but not within such Initial Cure Period, (ii) such Material Defect is not related to any Mortgage Loan’s not being a Qualified Mortgage and

-14-

 

(iii) the Seller has commenced and is diligently proceeding with the cure of such Material Defect within such Initial Cure Period, then the Seller shall have an additional 90 days (such additional 90 day period, the “Extended Cure Period”) 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 Extended Cure Period, the Seller shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee, the applicable Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Certificate Administrator setting forth the reasons such Material Defect was not cured within the Initial Cure Period and what actions the Seller is pursuing in connection with the cure of such Material Defect and stating that the Seller anticipates that such Material Defect will be cured within such Extended Cure Period); and provided, further, that, if any such Material Defect is still not cured after the Initial Cure Period and any such Extended Cure 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, repurchase or substitution obligations in respect of such Document Defect so long as the Seller certifies to the Trustee, the applicable Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor 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 the 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. 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 Document Defect, but if the Seller discovers a Material Defect with respect to a Mortgage Loan, it will notify the Purchaser. 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, and received by the Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust, after the related Cut-off Date through, but not including, 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 applicable 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 Seller effecting the related repurchase or substitution within two (2) Business Days following receipt of properly identified and available funds constituting such Periodic Payment. From and after the date of substitution, each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, if any, that has been substituted shall be deemed to constitute a “Mortgage Loan” hereunder for all purposes.

No delay in either the discovery of a Material Defect on the part of any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or in providing notice of such Material Defect shall relieve the Seller of its obligation to repurchase the related Mortgage Loan (if it is otherwise required to do so under this Agreement) unless (i) the Seller did not otherwise discover or have knowledge of such Material Defect, (ii) such delay is the result of the failure by a party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to provide prompt notice as required by the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement after such party has actual knowledge of such Material Defect (knowledge shall not be deemed to exist by reason of the custodian’s exception report) and such delay

-15-

 

precludes the Seller from curing such Material Defect and (iii) provided that the Seller is afforded a cure period of 90 days from the Seller’s receipt of notice thereof, such Material Defect did not relate to a Mortgage Loan not being a Qualified Mortgage as described in this section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Mortgage Loan is not secured by a Mortgaged Property that is, in whole or in part, a hotel, restaurant (operated by a Mortgagor), healthcare facility, nursing home, assisted living facility, self-storage facility, theatre or fitness center (operated by a Mortgagor), then the failure to deliver to the Custodian copies of the UCC Financing Statements with respect to such Mortgage Loan shall not be a Material Defect.

If (i) any Mortgage Loan is required to be repurchased or substituted for in the manner described in the first paragraph of this Section 6(e), (ii) such Mortgage Loan is a Crossed Underlying Loan, and (iii) the applicable Material Defect does not constitute a Material Defect as to any other Crossed Underlying Loan in the related Crossed Mortgage Loan Group (without regard to this paragraph), then the applicable Material Defect shall be deemed to constitute a Material Defect as to each other Crossed Underlying Loan in the related Crossed Mortgage Loan Group for purposes of this paragraph, and the Seller will be required to repurchase or substitute for all of the remaining Crossed Underlying Loans in the related Crossed Mortgage Loan Group as provided in the first paragraph of this Section 6(e) unless such other Crossed Underlying Loans in such Crossed Mortgage Loan Group satisfy the Crossed Underlying Loan Repurchase Criteria. In the event that the remaining Crossed Underlying Loans satisfy the aforementioned criteria, the Seller may elect either to repurchase or substitute for only the affected Crossed Underlying Loan as to which the related Material Defect exists or to repurchase or substitute for all of the Crossed Underlying Loans in the related Crossed Mortgage Loan Group. The Seller shall be responsible for the cost of any Appraisal required to be obtained to determine if the Crossed Underlying Loan Repurchase Criteria have been satisfied, so long as the scope and cost of such Appraisal has been approved by the Seller (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld).

To the extent that the Seller is required to repurchase or substitute for a Crossed Underlying Loan hereunder in the manner prescribed above while the Trustee continues to hold any other Crossed Underlying Loans in the related Crossed Mortgage Loan Group, neither the Seller nor the Purchaser shall enforce any remedies against the other’s Primary Collateral, but each is permitted to exercise remedies against the Primary Collateral securing its respective related Mortgage Loans, including with respect to the Trustee, the Primary Collateral securing the Mortgage Loans still held by the Trustee.

If the exercise of remedies by one party would materially impair the ability of the other party to exercise its remedies with respect to the Primary Collateral securing the Crossed Underlying Loans held by such party, then the Seller and the Purchaser shall forbear from exercising such remedies until the Mortgage Loan documents evidencing and securing the relevant Mortgage Loans can be modified in a manner that complies with this Agreement to remove the threat of material impairment as a result of the exercise of remedies or some other accommodation can be reached. Any reserve or other cash collateral or letters of credit securing the Crossed Underlying Loans shall be allocated between such Crossed Underlying Loans in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan documents, or otherwise on a pro rata basis based upon their outstanding Stated Principal Balances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Crossed Underlying Loan included in the Trust Fund is modified to terminate the related cross-

-16-

 

collateralization and/or cross-default provisions, as a condition to such modification, the Seller shall furnish to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator an Opinion of Counsel that any modification shall not cause an Adverse REMIC Event. Any expenses incurred by the Purchaser in connection with such modification or accommodation (including but not limited to recoverable attorney fees) shall be paid by the Seller.

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, failure of the Seller to deliver the documents referred to in clauses (1), (2), (7), (8), (18) and (19) in the definition of “Mortgage File” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in accordance with this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for any Mortgage Loan shall be deemed a Material Document Defect; provided, however, that no Document Defect (except such 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.

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 Enforcing Servicer, on behalf of the Trust, and, if no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, with the consent of the Directing Holder) are able to agree upon the Loss of Value Payment for a Material 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 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.

With respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Seller agrees that if a “material document defect” (as such term or any analogous term is defined in the related Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement) exists under the related Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement with respect to the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan included in the related Non-Serviced Securitization, and such Non-Serviced Companion Loan is repurchased by or on behalf of such Seller (or other responsible repurchasing entity) from the related Non-Serviced Securitization as a result of such “material document defect” (as such term or any analogous term is defined in such Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement), then the Seller shall repurchase such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that such repurchase obligation does not apply to any “material document defect” (as such term or any analogous term is defined in the related Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement) related solely to the promissory note for such 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 applicable Special Servicer shall each tender to the repurchasing entity, upon delivery to each of them of a receipt executed by the repurchasing entity evidencing such repurchase or substitution, all portions of the Mortgage File (including, without limitation, the Servicing File) and other documents 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 repurchasing 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 have been satisfied. In the event a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan is substituted for a Mortgage Loan by the Seller as contemplated by this Section 6, the Seller shall deliver to the Custodian the related Mortgage File and to the Master Servicer all Escrow Payments and reserve funds pertaining to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan possessed by it and a certification to the effect that such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies all of the requirements of the definition of “Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

(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, repurchase, or substitute for, 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 Section 6(c) of this Agreement or a Document Defect with respect to any Mortgage Loan.

(i)                 The Seller shall promptly notify the Depositor if (i) the Seller receives a Repurchase Communication of a 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request (other than from the Depositor), (ii) the Seller repurchases or replaces a Mortgage Loan, (iii) the Seller receives a Repurchase Communication of a Repurchase Request Withdrawal (other than from the Depositor) or (iv) the Seller rejects or disputes any 15Ga-1 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 15Ga-1 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

-18-

 

Communication of such 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request or Repurchase Request Withdrawal was received, (y) the related Mortgage Loan was repurchased or replaced or (z) the 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request was rejected or disputed, as applicable, and (3) if known, the basis for (x) the 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request (as asserted in the 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request) or (y) any rejection or dispute of a 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request, as applicable.

The Seller shall provide to the Depositor 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 pursuant to Rule 15Ga-1 under the Exchange Act 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.

In addition, the Seller shall provide the Depositor, upon request, such other information in its possession as would permit the Depositor 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 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 2.03(b) 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 2.03(b) 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 15Ga-1 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 001798388.

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.

(j)                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Seller’s obligation in respect of a Material Defect with respect to a Joint Mortgage Loan shall be solely in respect of the Seller’s pro rata share of such Joint Mortgage Loan based on the Seller’s Mortgage Loan Seller Percentage Interest as of the date hereof in such Joint Mortgage Loan.

-19-

 

(k)               If the Mortgage Note or Mortgage Notes with respect to a Joint Mortgage Loan in favor of the Seller and its successors and assigns are repurchased or replaced by the Seller pursuant to this Section 6, and any other related mortgage notes evidencing such Joint Mortgage Loan are not repurchased or replaced by any Other Seller and any such mortgage note remains in the Trust, then the Seller and the Purchaser hereby agree that (i) the provisions in Section 3.35 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the related Co-Lender Agreement shall govern the servicing and administration of such Joint Mortgage Loan as if (a) the remaining mortgage notes in the Trust were collectively a “Mortgage Loan” (as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and (b) each repurchased Mortgage Note were a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (or, if the Joint Mortgage Loan was a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, a Non-Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan), (ii) the Seller and its successors and assigns in respect of such repurchased or replaced Mortgage Note shall be bound by such Section 3.35 as if it were a party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and (iii) the Seller and its successors and assigns shall from time to time (as may be necessary) deliver to the Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as applicable, the Mortgage Loan documents constituting or related to any applicable Mortgage Note repurchased by it, any requests for release and any court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or other documents necessary to the foreclosure or trustee’s sale in respect of the related Mortgaged Property or to any legal action or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the related Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law or equity with respect to the related Mortgage Note.

(2) The open period is inclusive of the Maturity Date / ARD.
(3) The Mortgage Loan is part of a whole loan structure. Cut-off Date LTV Ratio, LTV Ratio at Maturity / ARD, Underwritten NCF DSCR, Debt Yield on Underwritten Net Operating Income, Debt Yield on Underwritten Net Cash Flow and Loan Per Unit calculations are based on the Mortgage Loan and any related Pari Passu Companion Loans, but exclude any related Subordinate Companion Loans.
(4) The Bellagio Hotel and Casino Whole Loan was co-originated by Citi Real Estate Funding Inc., Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A. and JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association.

Prepayment in whole, but not in part, of the Bellagio Hotel and Casino Whole Loan is permitted at any time, prior to June 5, 2029 with the payment of the greater of 0.5% of the principal balance or yield maintenance. The assumed defeasance lockout period of 25 payment dates is based on the expected GSMS 2020-GC45 securitization closing date in January 2020. The actual lockout period may be longer.
(6) The $650,500,000 B-Notes accrue interest at 3.170153% per annum, and the $683,300,000 C-Notes accrue interest at 5.35000% per annum.
(7) The Mortgaged Property is master leased, and for so long as the master lease is in effect, the borrower is entitled to receive only rents from the master lease and not the underlying rents and other receipts from the Mortgaged Property. Debt service coverage ratios for such Mortgage Loan set forth in the prospectus are calculated on a “look-through” basis, based on the rents and receipts of the Mortgaged Property.

(12) The Mortgaged Property's Appraised Value ($) of $1,210,000,000, represents the "Hypothetical As Is" appraised value as of October 31, 2019, which assumes that the Mortgaged Property will have in-place reserves of approximately $10,000,000 at loan origination. The “as-is” appraised value of the Mortgaged Property is $1,200,000,000 as of October 31, 2019, and results in a Cut-off Date LTV Ratio and LTV Ratio at Maturity / ARD of 48.9%.

(14) Prior to October 9, 2024 (the "Open Date"), and provided no event of default exists, the total debt may be prepaid in whole or in part with the payment of a yield maintenance premium. From and after the Open Date and provided no event of default exists, the total debt may be prepaid in whole or in part without the payment of a yield maintenance premium. Prepayments of the total debt in whole or in part along with any applicable yield maintenance premiums paid will be applied to the Parkmerced Whole Loan and mezzanine loan on a pro rata basis; provided, however, so long as no event of default or Cash Trap Period (as defined in the loan documents) has occurred and is continuing under the Parkmerced Whole Loan, a $75.0 million portion of the mezzanine loan may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time (accompanied by a corresponding payment of any accrued and unpaid interest outstanding at the time of such prepayment) without the payment of a yield maintenance premium and without a corresponding pro rata prepayment of the Parkmerced Whole Loan; provided, further, so long as no event of default or Cash Trap Period has occurred and is continuing under the Parkmerced Whole Loan, all accrued and unpaid interest on the mezzanine loan may be paid at any time without the simultaneous pro rata prepayment of the Parkmerced Whole Loan.
(15) The Mortgaged Property's Appraised Value ($) of $2,110,000,000, represents the "As-Is Value Inclusive of Development Rights (Excluding all of Phase 1)" appraised value as of September 3, 2019, which consists of the "as-is value (excluding Phase 1)" of $1,741,000,000 and the "as-is value of development rights (excluding Phase 1)" of $369,000,000. Phase 1 consists of 56 units that are not part of the collateral for the related Mortgage Loan. The Cut-off Date LTV Ratio and LTV Ratio at Maturity / ARD based on the "as-is value (excluding Phase 1)" of $1,741,000,000 are both 31.4%.
(16) The ARD mezzanine loan has an original principal balance of $275,000,000 with a per annum interest rate equal to 10.00000% that increases to 12.00000% after the initial five-year maturity date if the mezzanine loan is extended pursuant to the mezzanine loan extension option. The Mortgage Loan does not have such an extension option.
(17) The $708,000,000 B-Notes accrue interest at 3.1877772321% per annum, and the $245,000,000 C-Notes accrue interest at 4.602892857% per annum.
(18) The 510 East 14th Street Whole Loan defeasance lockout period will be at least 24 payment dates beginning with and including the First Due Date of February 6, 2020. Defeasance is permitted at any time on or after the earlier to occur of (i) two years after the closing date of the securitization that includes the last promissory note to be securitized and (ii) December 12, 2022. Prepayment in whole, but not in part, of the 510 East 14th Street Whole Loan is permitted at any time, prior to September 6, 2029 with the payment of the greater of 1% of the principal balance or yield maintenance. The assumed defeasance lockout period of 24 payment dates is based on the expected GSMS 2020-GC45 securitization closing date in January 2020. The actual lockout period may be longer.
(19) The Harvey Building Products Whole Loan defeasance lockout period is required to be at least 26 payments beginning with and including the first payment date of December 6, 2019. Defeasance of the full $160.0 million Harvey Building Products Whole Loan is permitted at any time after two years after the closing date of the GSMS 2020-GC45 securitization (the “Release Date”). The borrower is also permitted to prepay the Harvey Building Products Whole Loan in whole or in part at any time prior to the Release Date with the payment of the greater of (i) a yield maintenance premium and (ii) 4% of the amount prepaid. Additionally, the borrower is permitted to prepay the Harvey Building Products Whole Loan in whole or in part at any time on or after the Release Date with the payment of the greater of (i) a yield maintenance premium and (ii) 1% of the amount prepaid. Voluntary prepayment of the Harvey Building Products Loan is permitted on or after the due date occurring in June 2029 without payment of any prepayment premium or penalty.
(20) Pursuant to the lease between the borrower, as landlord, and Harvey Building Products, as tenant, the tenant is required to deliver a letter of credit to the borrower in the amount of $2,500,000 to secure the repayment of the work associated with certain repairs.
(21) The Original Balance, Cut-Off Date Balance and Monthly Debt Service reflect only the note being sold by CREFI.

 

   

 

EXHIBIT B

MORTGAGE LOAN REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

(1)Whole Loan; Ownership of Mortgage Loans. Except with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, each Mortgage Loan is a whole loan and not a participation interest in a Mortgage Loan. Each Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan is a portion of a whole loan evidenced by a Mortgage Note. At the time of the sale, transfer and assignment to the Purchaser, no Mortgage Note or Mortgage was subject to any assignment (other than assignments to the Seller or, with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the related Non-Serviced Trustee), participation or pledge, and the Seller had good title to, and was the sole owner of, each Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, charges, pledges, encumbrances, participations, any other ownership interests on, in or to such Mortgage Loan other than any servicing rights appointment or similar agreement. The Seller has full right and authority to sell, assign and transfer each Mortgage Loan, and the assignment to the Purchaser constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment of such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, charges or security interests of any nature encumbering such Mortgage Loan.
(2)Loan Document Status. Each related Mortgage Note, Mortgage, Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits (if a separate instrument), guaranty and other agreement executed by or on behalf of the related Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor in connection with such Mortgage Loan is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the related Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor (subject to any non-recourse provisions contained in any of the foregoing agreements and any applicable state anti-deficiency or market value limit deficiency legislation), as applicable, and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (i) as such enforcement may be limited by (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (b) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (ii) that certain provisions in such Mortgage Loan documents (including, without limitation, provisions requiring the payment of default interest, late fees or prepayment/yield maintenance fees, charges and/or premiums) are, or may be, further limited or rendered unenforceable by or under applicable law, but (subject to the limitations set forth in clause (i) above) such limitations or unenforceability will not render such Mortgage Loan documents invalid as a whole or materially interfere with the mortgagee’s realization of the principal benefits and/or security provided thereby (clauses (i) and (ii) collectively, the “Standard Qualifications”).

Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentences, there is no valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right of rescission available to the related Mortgagor with respect to any of the related Mortgage Notes, Mortgages or other Mortgage Loan documents, including, without limitation, any such valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right based on intentional fraud by 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 Mortgage Note, Mortgage or other Mortgage Loan documents.

B-1

 

(3)Mortgage Provisions. The Mortgage Loan documents for each Mortgage Loan contain provisions that render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the practical realization against the Mortgaged Property of the principal benefits of the security intended to be provided thereby, including realization by judicial or, if applicable, non-judicial foreclosure subject to the limitations set forth in the Standard Qualifications.
(4)Mortgage Status; Waivers and Modifications. Since origination and except by written instruments set forth in the related Mortgage File 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 the remaining portion of such Mortgaged Property; and (c) neither the related Mortgagor nor the related guarantor has been released from its material obligations under the Mortgage Loan. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, except as contained in a written document included in the Mortgage File, there have been no modifications, amendments or waivers, that could be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on such Mortgage Loan consented to by the Seller on or after December 23, 2019.
(5)Hospitality Provisions. The Mortgage Loan documents for each Mortgage Loan that is secured by a hospitality property operated pursuant to a franchise or license agreement includes an executed comfort letter or similar agreement signed by the related Mortgagor and franchisor or licensor of such property that, subject to the applicable terms of such franchise or license agreement and comfort letter or similar agreement, is enforceable by the Trust (or, in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, by the related Non-Serviced Trust) against such franchisor or licensor either (A) directly or as an assignee of the originator, or (B) upon the Seller’s or its designee’s providing notice of the transfer of the Mortgage Loan to the Trust (or, in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, by the seller of the note which is contributed to the related Non-Serviced Trust or its designee providing notice of the transfer of such note to the related Non-Serviced Trust) in accordance with the terms of such executed comfort letter or similar agreement, which the Seller or its designee (except in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) shall provide, or if neither (A) nor (B) is applicable, except in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Seller or its designee shall apply for, on the Trust’s behalf, a new comfort letter or similar agreement as of the Closing Date. 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. For the avoidance of doubt, no representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in revenues to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of UCC financing statements is required to effect such perfection.
(6)Lien; Valid Assignment. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each assignment of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits to the Trust (or,

B-2

 

with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the related Non-Serviced Trustee) constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment to the Trust (or, with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the related Non-Serviced Trustee). Each related Mortgage and Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits 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 leasehold interest in the related Mortgaged Property in the principal amount of such Mortgage Loan or allocated loan amount (subject only to Permitted Encumbrances (as defined below) and the exceptions to paragraph (7) set forth in Exhibit C (each such exception, a “Title Exception”)), except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Standard Qualifications. Such Mortgaged Property (subject to and excepting Permitted Encumbrances and the Title Exceptions) as of origination was, and as of the Cut-off Date, to the Seller’s knowledge, is free and clear of any recorded mechanics’ liens, recorded materialmen’s liens and other recorded encumbrances which are prior to or equal with the lien of the related Mortgage (which lien secures the related Whole Loan, in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan), except those which are bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by a lender’s title insurance policy (as described below), and, to the Seller’s knowledge and subject to the rights of tenants (as tenants only) (subject to and excepting Permitted Encumbrances and the Title Exceptions), no rights exist which under law could give rise to any such lien or encumbrance that would be prior to or equal with the lien of the related Mortgage, except those which are bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by a lender’s title insurance policy (as described below). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of Uniform Commercial Code (“UCC”) financing statements is required in order to effect such perfection.

(7)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 secures the related Whole Loan, in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan), which lien is subject only to (a) the lien of current real property taxes, water charges, sewer rents and assessments not yet due and payable; (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public record; (c) the exceptions (general and specific) and exclusions set forth in such Title Policy; (d) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject; (e) the rights of tenants (as tenants only) under leases (including subleases) pertaining to the related Mortgaged Property and condominium declarations; and (f) if the related Mortgage Loan is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with another Mortgage Loan or a Whole Loan or is part of a Whole Loan that is

B-3

 

cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with another Whole Loan (each a “Crossed Mortgage Loan”), the lien of the Mortgage for such other Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with such Crossed Mortgage Loan or with the Whole Loan of which such Crossed Mortgage Loan is a part, provided that none of which items (a) through (f), individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely interferes with the value or current use of the Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or the Mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations when they become 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.

(8)Junior Liens. It being understood that B notes secured by the same Mortgage as a Mortgage Loan are not subordinate mortgages or junior liens, except for any Crossed Mortgage Loan, there are, as of origination, and to the Seller’s knowledge, as of the Cut-off Date, no subordinate mortgages or junior liens securing the payment of money encumbering the related Mortgaged Property (other than Permitted Encumbrances and the Title Exceptions, taxes and assessments, mechanics and materialmen’s liens (which are the subject of the representation in paragraph (6) above), and equipment and other personal property financing). Except as set forth in Exhibit B-30-1, the Seller has no knowledge of any mezzanine debt secured directly by interests in the related Mortgagor.
(9)Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits. There exists as part of the related Mortgage File an Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits (either as a separate instrument or incorporated into the related Mortgage). Subject to the Permitted Encumbrances and the Title Exceptions (and, in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, subject to the related Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits constituting security for the entire Whole Loan), each related Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits 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 Standard Qualifications. The related Mortgage or related Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits, subject to applicable law, provides that, upon an event of default under the related Mortgage Loan, a receiver is permitted to be appointed for the collection of rents or for the related mortgagee to enter into possession to collect the rents or for rents to be paid directly to the mortgagee.
(10)UCC Filings. If the related Mortgaged Property is operated as a hospitality property, the Seller has filed and/or recorded or caused to be filed and/or recorded (or, if not filed and/or recorded, have been submitted in proper form for filing and/or recording), UCC financing statements in the appropriate public filing and/or recording offices necessary at

B-4

 

the time of the origination of the related Mortgage Loan to perfect a valid security interest in all items of physical personal property reasonably necessary to operate such Mortgaged Property owned by such Mortgagor and located on the related Mortgaged Property (other than any non-material personal property, any personal property subject to a purchase money security interest, a sale and leaseback financing arrangement as permitted under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents or any other personal property leases applicable to such personal property), to the extent perfection may be effected pursuant to applicable law by recording or filing, as the case may be. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each related Mortgage (or equivalent document) creates a valid and enforceable lien and security interest on the items of personalty described above. No representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of UCC financing statements are required in order to effect such perfection.

(11)Condition of Property. The Seller or the originator of the Mortgage Loan inspected or caused to be inspected each related Mortgaged Property within six months of origination of the Mortgage Loan and within twelve months of the Cut-off Date.

An engineering report or property condition assessment was prepared in connection with the origination of each Mortgage Loan no more than twelve months prior to the Cut-off Date. To the Seller’s knowledge, based solely upon due diligence customarily performed in connection with the origination of comparable mortgage loans, as of the Closing Date, each related Mortgaged Property was free and clear of any material damage (other than (i) any damage or deficiency that is estimated to cost less than $50,000 to repair, (ii) any deferred maintenance for which escrows were established at origination and (iii) any damage fully covered by insurance) that would affect materially and adversely the use or value of such Mortgaged Property as security for the Mortgage Loan.

(12)Taxes and Assessments. All taxes, governmental assessments and other outstanding governmental charges (including, without limitation, water and sewage charges), or installments thereof, that could be a lien on the related Mortgaged Property that would be of equal or superior priority to the lien of the Mortgage and that prior to the Cut-off Date have become delinquent in respect of each related Mortgaged Property have been paid, or an escrow of funds has been established in an amount sufficient to cover such payments and reasonably estimated interest and penalties, if any, thereon. For purposes of this representation and warranty, real estate taxes and governmental assessments and other outstanding governmental charges and installments thereof shall not be considered delinquent until the earlier of (a) the date on which interest and/or penalties would first be payable thereon and (b) the date on which enforcement action is entitled to be taken by the related taxing authority.
(13)Condemnation. As of the date of origination and to the Seller’s knowledge as of the Cut-off Date, there is no proceeding pending, and, to the Seller’s knowledge as of the date of origination and as of the Cut-off Date, there is no proceeding threatened, for the total or partial condemnation of such Mortgaged Property that would have a material adverse effect on the value, use or operation of the Mortgaged Property.

B-5

 

(14)Actions Concerning Mortgage Loan. As of the date of origination and to the Seller’s knowledge as of the Cut-off Date, there was no pending or filed action, suit or proceeding, arbitration or governmental investigation involving any Mortgagor, guarantor, or Mortgagor’s interest in the Mortgaged Property, an adverse outcome of which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect (a) such Mortgagor’s title to the Mortgaged Property, (b) the validity or enforceability of the Mortgage, (c) such Mortgagor’s ability to perform under the related Mortgage Loan, (d) such guarantor’s ability to perform under the related guaranty, (e) the principal benefit of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage Loan documents or (f) the current principal use of the Mortgaged Property.
(15)Escrow Deposits. All escrow deposits and payments required to be escrowed with the lender pursuant to each Mortgage Loan 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 to be escrowed with lender under the related Mortgage Loan documents are being conveyed by the Seller to the Purchaser or its servicer (or, with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the related Non-Serviced Depositor or Non-Serviced Master Servicer).
(16)No Holdbacks. The Stated Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date of the Mortgage Loan set forth on the mortgage loan schedule attached as Exhibit A to this Agreement 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 or other matters with respect to the related Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or other considerations determined by the Seller to merit such holdback).
(17)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 meeting the Insurance Ratings Requirements (as defined below) in an amount (subject to a customary deductible) not less than the lesser of (1) the original principal balance of the related 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 related 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.

Insurance Ratings Requirements” shall mean either (i) a claims paying or financial strength rating of any of the following; (a) at least “A-:VIII” from A.M. Best Company, (b) at least “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or (c) at least “A-” from S&P Global Ratings, acting through Standard & Poor’s Financial Services

B-6

 

LLC or (ii) the Syndicate Insurance Ratings Requirements. “Syndicate Insurance Ratings Requirements” shall mean insurance provided by a syndicate of insurers, as to which (i) if such syndicate consists of 5 or more members, at least 60% of the coverage is provided by insurers that meet the Insurance Ratings Requirements (under clause (1) of the definition of such term) and up to 40% of the coverage is provided by insurers that have a claims paying or financial strength rating of at least “BBB-” by S&P Global Ratings, acting through Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC or at least “Baa3” by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., and (ii) if such syndicate consists of 4 or fewer members, at least 75% of the coverage is provided by insurers that meet the Insurance Ratings Requirements (under clause (1) of the definition of such term) and up to 25% of the coverage is provided by insurers that have a claims paying or financial strength rating of at least “BBB-” by S&P Global Ratings, acting through Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC or at least “Baa3” by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc.

Each related Mortgaged Property is also covered, and required to be covered pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan documents, by business interruption or rental loss insurance which (subject to a customary deductible) covers a period of not less than 12 months (or with respect to each Mortgage Loan on a single asset with a principal balance of $50 million or more, 18 months).

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 a Mortgaged Property is located within 25 miles of the coast of the Gulf of Mexico or the Atlantic coast of Florida, Georgia, South Carolina or North Carolina, the related Mortgagor is required to maintain coverage for windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or “named storms” issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements or endorsement covering damage from windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or named storms, in an amount not less than the lesser of (1) the original principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan and (2) 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.

Each Mortgaged Property is covered, and required to be covered pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan documents, by a commercial general liability insurance policy issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements including coverage for property damage, contractual damage and personal injury (including bodily injury and death) in amounts as are generally required by 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

B-7

 

and seismic condition of such property, for the sole purpose of assessing either the scenario expected limit (“SEL”) or the probable maximum loss (“PML”) for the Mortgaged Property in the event of an earthquake. In such instance, the SEL or PML, as applicable, 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 SEL or PML, as applicable, 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 S&P Global Ratings, acting through Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC in an amount not less than 100% of the SEL or PML, as applicable.

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 (or Whole Loan, if applicable), the lender (or a trustee appointed by it) having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as the repair or restoration progresses, or (b) to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan (or Whole Loan, if applicable) 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 each Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns as a loss payee under a mortgagee endorsement clause or, in the case of the related general liability insurance policy, as named or additional insured. Such insurance policies will inure to the benefit of the Trustee (or, in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the applicable Other Trustee). Each related Mortgage Loan obligates the related Mortgagor to maintain, or cause to be maintained, 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.

(18)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 related Mortgaged Property, and (c) constitutes one or more separate tax parcels which do not include any property which is not part of such Mortgaged Property or is subject to an endorsement under the related Title Policy insuring the Mortgaged Property, or in certain cases, an application has been, or will be,

B-8

 

made to the applicable governing authority for creation of separate tax lots, in which case the related Mortgage Loan requires the related Mortgagor to escrow an amount sufficient to pay taxes for the existing tax parcel of which such Mortgaged Property is a part until the separate tax lots are created.

(19)No Encroachments. To the Seller’s knowledge based solely on surveys obtained in connection with origination and the lender’s Title Policy (or, if such policy is not yet issued, a pro forma title policy, a preliminary title policy with escrow instructions or a “marked up” commitment) obtained in connection with the origination of each Mortgage Loan, all material improvements that were included for the purpose of determining the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property at the time of the origination of such Mortgage Loan are within the boundaries of the related Mortgaged Property, except encroachments that do not materially and adversely affect the value or current use of such Mortgaged Property or for which insurance or endorsements were obtained under the Title Policy. No improvements on adjoining parcels encroach onto the related Mortgaged Property except for encroachments that do not materially and adversely affect the value or current use of such Mortgaged Property or for which insurance or endorsements were obtained under the Title Policy. No improvements encroach upon any easements except for encroachments the removal of which would not materially and adversely affect the value or current use of such Mortgaged Property or for which insurance or endorsements obtained with respect to the Title Policy.
(20)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.
(21)REMIC. Each Mortgage Loan is a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(3) (but determined without regard to the rule in the U.S. Department of Treasury Regulations (the “Treasury Regulations”) Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that treats certain defective mortgage loans as qualified mortgages), and, accordingly, (A) the issue price of the Mortgage Loan to the related Mortgagor at origination did not exceed the non-contingent principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and (B) either: (a) such Mortgage Loan is secured by an interest in real property (including 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 (A) the amount of any lien on the real property interest that is senior to the Mortgage Loan and (B) a proportionate amount of any lien that is in parity with the Mortgage Loan; or (b) substantially all of the proceeds of such Mortgage Loan were used to acquire, improve or protect the real property which served as the only security for such Mortgage Loan (other than a recourse feature or other third-party credit enhancement within the meaning of Section 1.860G-2(a)(1)(ii) of the Treasury Regulations).

Loan was “significantly modified” prior to the Closing Date so as to result in a taxable exchange under Section 1001 of the Code, it either (x) was modified as a result of the default or reasonably foreseeable default of such Mortgage Loan or (y) satisfies the provisions of either sub-clause (B)(a)(i) above (substituting the date of the last such modification for the date the Mortgage Loan was originated) or sub-clause (B)(a)(ii), including the proviso thereto. Any prepayment premium and yield maintenance charges applicable to the Mortgage Loan constitute “customary prepayment penalties” within the meaning of Section 1.860G-1(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations. All terms used in this paragraph shall have the same meanings as set forth in the related Treasury Regulations.

(22)Compliance with Usury Laws. The Mortgage Rate (exclusive of any default interest, late charges, yield maintenance charge, or prepayment premiums) of such Mortgage Loan complied as of the date of origination with, or was exempt from, applicable state or federal laws, regulations and other requirements pertaining to usury.
(23)Authorized to do Business. To the extent required under applicable law, as of the Cut-off Date or as of the date that such entity held the Mortgage Note, each holder of the Mortgage Note was authorized to transact and do business in the jurisdiction in which each related Mortgaged Property is located, or the failure to be so authorized does not materially and adversely affect the enforceability of such Mortgage Loan by the Trust.
(24)Trustee under Deed of Trust. With respect to each Mortgage which is a deed of trust, as of the date of origination and, to the Seller’s knowledge, as of the Closing Date, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, currently so serves and is named in the deed of trust or has been substituted in accordance with the Mortgage and applicable law or may be substituted in accordance with the Mortgage and applicable law by the related mortgagee.
(25)Local Law Compliance. To the Seller’s knowledge, based upon any of a letter from any governmental authorities, a legal opinion, an architect’s letter, a zoning consultant’s report, an endorsement to the related Title Policy, or other affirmative investigation of local law compliance consistent with the investigation conducted by the Seller for similar commercial, multifamily or, if applicable, manufactured housing community mortgage loans intended for securitization, with respect to the improvements located on or forming part of each Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan as of the date of origination of such Mortgage Loan and as of the Cut-off Date, there are no material violations of applicable zoning ordinances, building codes and land laws (collectively “Zoning Regulations”) other than those which (i) constitute a legal non-conforming use or structure, as to which as the Mortgaged Property may be restored or repaired to the full extent necessary to maintain the use of the structure immediately prior to a casualty or the inability to restore or repair to the full extent necessary to maintain the use or structure immediately prior to the casualty would not materially and adversely affect the use or operation of the Mortgaged Property, (ii) are insured by the Title Policy or other insurance policy, (iii) are insured by law and ordinance insurance coverage 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 or (iv) would not have a material adverse effect on the related Mortgage

B-10

 

Loan. The terms of the Mortgage Loan documents require the Mortgagor to comply in all material respects with all applicable governmental regulations, zoning and building laws.

(26)Licenses and Permits. Each Mortgagor covenants in the related Mortgage Loan documents that it shall keep all material licenses, permits and applicable governmental authorizations necessary for its operation of the related Mortgaged Property in full force and effect, and to the Seller’s knowledge based upon a letter from any government authorities, zoning consultant’s report or other affirmative investigation of local law compliance consistent with the investigation conducted by the Seller for similar commercial, multifamily or, if applicable, manufactured housing community mortgage loans intended for securitization, all such material licenses, permits and applicable governmental authorizations are in effect. Each Mortgage Loan requires the related Mortgagor to be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is located.
(27)Recourse Obligations. The Mortgage Loan documents for each Mortgage Loan provide that (a) the related Mortgagor and at least one individual or entity shall be fully liable for actual losses, liabilities, costs and damages arising from certain acts of the related Mortgagor and/or its principals specified in the related Mortgage Loan documents, which acts generally include the following: (i) acts of fraud or intentional material misrepresentation, (ii) misapplication or misappropriation of rents (if after an event of default under the related Mortgage Loan), insurance proceeds or condemnation awards, (iii) intentional material physical waste of the related Mortgaged Property (but in some cases, only to the extent there is sufficient cash flow generated by the related Mortgaged Property to prevent such waste), and (iv) any breach of the environmental covenants contained in the related Mortgage Loan documents, and (b) the related Mortgage Loan shall become full recourse to the related Mortgagor and at least one individual or entity, if the related Mortgagor files a voluntary petition under federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law.
(28)Mortgage Releases. The terms of the related Mortgage or related Mortgage Loan documents do not provide for release of any material portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage except (a) a partial release, accompanied by principal repayment, or partial Defeasance (as defined in paragraph (33)), of not less than a specified percentage at least equal to the lesser of (i) 110% of the related allocated loan amount of such portion of the Mortgaged Property and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (b) upon payment in full of such Mortgage Loan, (c) upon a Defeasance (as defined in paragraph (33)), (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 or taking by a State or any political subdivision or authority thereof. 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

B-11

 

the meaning of Section 1.860G-2(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations and (ii) would not cause the subject Mortgage Loan to fail to be a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of 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), if the fair market value of the real property constituting such Mortgaged Property (reduced by (1) the amount of any lien on the real property that is senior to the Mortgage Loan and (2) a proportionate amount of any lien on the real property that is in parity with the related Mortgage Loan) after the release is not equal to at least 80% of the principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan (or Whole Loan, as applicable) outstanding after the release, the Mortgagor is required to make a payment of principal in an amount not less than the amount required by the REMIC Provisions.

In the case of any Mortgage Loan, in the event of a condemnation or 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 related Mortgagor can be required to pay down the principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan in an amount not less than the amount required by the REMIC Provisions and, to such extent, condemnation proceeds may not be required to be applied to the restoration of the related Mortgaged Property or released to the related 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 related Mortgage Loan and (2) a proportionate amount of any lien on the real property that is in parity with the related Mortgage Loan) is not equal to at least 80% of the remaining principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (or Whole Loan, as applicable).

No Mortgage Loan that is secured by more than one Mortgaged Property or that is a Crossed Mortgage Loan permits the release of cross-collateralization of the related Mortgaged Properties or a portion thereof, including due to a partial condemnation, other than in compliance with the loan-to-value ratio and other requirements of the REMIC Provisions.

(29)Financial Reporting and Rent Rolls. Each Mortgage Loan requires the related 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.
(30)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 and the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2015 (collectively referred to as “TRIA”),

B-12

 

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-form 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 related 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 commercial availability on commercially reasonable terms, or as otherwise indicated on Exhibit C; provided, however, that if TRIA or a similar or subsequent statute is not in effect, then, provided that terrorism insurance is commercially available, the Mortgagor under each Mortgage Loan is required to carry terrorism insurance, but in such event such Mortgagor shall not be required to spend on terrorism insurance coverage more than two times the amount of the insurance premium that is payable in respect of the property and business interruption/rental loss insurance required under the related Mortgage Loan documents (without giving effect to the cost of terrorism and earthquake components of such casualty and business interruption/rental loss insurance) at such time, and if the cost of terrorism insurance exceeds such amount, the related Mortgagor is required to purchase the maximum amount of terrorism insurance available with funds equal to such amount.

(31)Due on Sale or Encumbrance. Subject to specific exceptions set forth below, each Mortgage Loan contains a “due on sale” or other such provision for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan if, without the consent of the holder of the Mortgage (which consent, in some cases, may not be unreasonably withheld) and/or complying with the requirements of the related Mortgage Loan documents (which provide for transfers without the consent of the lender which are customarily acceptable to the Seller lending on the security of property comparable to the related Mortgaged Property, including, without limitation, transfers of worn-out or obsolete furnishings, fixtures, or equipment promptly replaced with property of equivalent value and functionality and transfers by leases entered into in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan documents), (a) the related Mortgaged Property, or any equity interest of greater than 50% in the related Mortgagor, is directly or indirectly pledged, transferred or sold (in each case a “Transfer”), other than as related to (i) family and estate planning Transfers or Transfers upon death or legal incapacity, (ii) Transfers to certain affiliates as defined in the related Mortgage Loan documents, (iii) Transfers of less than, or other than, a controlling interest in the related Mortgagor, (iv) Transfers to another holder of direct or indirect equity in the Mortgagor, a specific Person designated in the related Mortgage Loan documents or a Person satisfying specific criteria identified in the related Mortgage Loan documents, such as a qualified equityholder, (v) Transfers of stock or similar equity units in publicly traded companies, (vi) a substitution or release of collateral within the parameters of paragraphs (28) and (33) herein or the exceptions thereto set forth in Exhibit C, or (vii) by reason of any mezzanine debt that existed at the origination of the related Mortgage Loan as set forth on Exhibit B-30-1, or future permitted mezzanine debt as set forth on Exhibit B-30-2 or (b) the related Mortgaged

B-13

 

Property is encumbered with a subordinate lien or security interest against the related Mortgaged Property, other than (i) any Companion Loan or any subordinate debt that existed at origination and is permitted under the related Mortgage Loan documents, (ii) purchase money security interests, (iii) any Crossed Mortgage Loan as set forth on Exhibit B-30-3 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 related Mortgagor is responsible for such payment along with all other reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Mortgagee relative to such transfer or encumbrance.

(32)Single-Purpose Entity. Each Mortgage Loan requires the related Mortgagor to be a Single-Purpose Entity for at least as long as the related Mortgage Loan is outstanding. Both the Mortgage Loan documents and the organizational documents of the related Mortgagor with respect to each Mortgage Loan with a Cut-off Date Stated Principal Balance in excess of $5 million provide that the Mortgagor is a Single-Purpose Entity, and each Mortgage Loan with a Cut-off Date Stated Principal 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 Stated Principal 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 Crossed Mortgage Loan), and that it holds itself out as a legal entity, separate and apart from any other person or entity.
(33)Defeasance. With respect to any Mortgage Loan that, pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan documents, can be defeased (a “Defeasance”), (i) such Mortgage Loan documents provide for Defeasance as a unilateral right of the related Mortgagor, subject to satisfaction of conditions specified in the related Mortgage Loan documents; (ii) the related Mortgage Loan cannot be defeased within two years after the Closing Date; (iii) the Mortgagor is permitted to pledge only United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii) of the Treasury Regulations, the revenues from which will, in the case of a full Defeasance, be sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the related Mortgage Loan when due, including the entire remaining principal balance on the maturity date (or on or after the first date on which payment may be made without payment of a yield maintenance charge or prepayment premium) or, if the related Mortgage Loan is an ARD Loan, the entire principal balance outstanding on the Anticipated Repayment Date (or on or after the first date on which payment may be made without payment of a yield maintenance charge or prepayment premium), and if the related Mortgage Loan permits partial releases of real property in connection with partial

B-14

 

Defeasance, the revenues from the collateral will be sufficient to pay all such scheduled payments calculated on a principal amount equal to a specified percentage at least equal to the lesser of (a) 110% of the allocated loan amount for the real property to be released and (b) the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan; (iv) the related 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 Mortgage Note as set forth in clause (iii) above; (v) if the related Mortgagor would continue to own assets in addition to the Defeasance collateral, the portion of the Mortgage Loan secured by defeasance collateral is required to be assumed (or the mortgagee may require such assumption) by a Single-Purpose Entity; (vi) the related 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 (vii) the related 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.

(34)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 any ARD Loan and situations where default interest is imposed.
(35)Ground Leases. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Ground Lease” shall mean a lease creating a leasehold estate in real property where the fee owner as the ground lessor conveys for a term or terms of years its entire interest in the land, or with respect to air rights leases, the air, and buildings and other improvements, if any, comprising the premises demised under such lease to the ground lessee (who may, in certain circumstances, own the building and improvements on the land), subject to the reversionary interest of the ground lessor as fee owner and does not include industrial development agency (IDA) or similar leases for purposes of conferring a tax abatement or other benefit.

With respect to any Mortgage Loan where the Mortgage Loan is secured by a leasehold estate under a Ground Lease in whole or in part, and the related Mortgage does not also encumber the related lessor’s fee interest in such Mortgaged Property, based upon the terms of the Ground Lease and any estoppel or other agreement received from the ground lessor in favor of the Seller, its successors and assigns, the Seller represents and warrants that:

(a)The Ground Lease or a memorandum regarding such Ground Lease has been duly recorded or submitted for recordation in a form that is acceptable for recording in the applicable jurisdiction. The Ground Lease or an estoppel or other agreement received from the ground lessor permits the interest of the lessee to be encumbered by the related Mortgage and does not restrict the use of the related Mortgaged Property by such lessee, its successors or assigns in a manner that would materially adversely affect the security provided by the related Mortgage;

B-15

 

(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 or modified, or canceled or terminated by agreement of lessor and lessee, without the prior written consent of the lender, and no such consent has been granted by the Seller since the origination of the Mortgage Loan except as reflected in any written instruments which are included in the related Mortgage File;
(c)The Ground Lease has an original term (or an original term plus one or more optional renewal terms, which, under all circumstances, may be exercised, and will be enforceable, by either the Mortgagor or the mortgagee) that extends not less than 20 years beyond the stated maturity of the related Mortgage Loan, or 10 years past the stated maturity if such Mortgage Loan fully amortizes by the stated maturity (or with respect to a Mortgage Loan that accrues on an actual 360 basis, substantially amortizes);
(d)The Ground Lease either (i) is not subject to any 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, or (ii)  is subject to a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement to which the mortgagee on the lessor’s fee interest in the Mortgaged Property is subject;
(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 related 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 related Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns without the consent of the lessor;
(f)The Seller has not received any written notice of material default under or notice of termination of such Ground Lease. To the Seller’s knowledge, there is no material default under such Ground Lease and no condition that, but for the passage of time or giving of notice, would result in a material 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, and provides that no notice of default or termination is effective against the lender unless such notice is given to the lender;
(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;

B-16

 

(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;
(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 (i) de minimis amounts for minor casualties or (ii) in respect of a total or substantially total loss or taking as addressed in clause (k) below) 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 related Mortgage Loan, together with any accrued interest;
(k)In the case of a total or substantially total 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 related 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.
(36)Servicing. The servicing and collection practices used by the Seller with respect to the Mortgage Loans have been, in all respects, legal and have met customary industry standards for servicing of commercial loans for conduit loan programs.
(37)Origination and Underwriting. The origination practices of the Seller (or the related originator if the Seller was not the originator) with respect to each Mortgage Loan have been, in all material respects, legal and as of the date of its origination, such Mortgage Loan and the origination thereof complied in all material respects with, or was exempt from, all requirements of federal, state or local law relating to the origination of such Mortgage Loan; provided that such representation and warranty does not address or otherwise cover any matters with respect to federal, state or local law otherwise covered in this Exhibit B.
(38)No Material Default; Payment Record. 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 date hereof, no Mortgage Loan is more than 30 days delinquent (beyond any applicable grace or cure period) in making required payments as of the Closing Date. To the Seller’s knowledge, there is (a) no material

B-17

 

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, which default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, in the case of either clause (a) or clause (b), materially and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the value, use or operation of the related Mortgaged Property, 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 this Exhibit B. 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.

(39)Bankruptcy. As of the date of origination of the related Mortgage Loan and to the Seller’s knowledge as of the Cut-off Date, no related Mortgagor, guarantor or tenant occupying a single-tenant property is a debtor in state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding.
(40)Organization of Mortgagor. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, in reliance on certified copies of the organizational documents of the related Mortgagor delivered by such Mortgagor in connection with the origination of such Mortgage Loan, the Mortgagor is an entity organized under the laws of a state of the United States of America, the District of Columbia or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Except with respect to any Crossed Mortgage Loan, no Mortgage Loan has a Mortgagor that is an Affiliate of another Mortgagor under another Mortgage Loan. (An “Affiliate” for purposes of this paragraph (40) shall mean, a Mortgagor that is under direct or indirect common ownership and control with another Mortgagor.)
(41)Environmental Conditions. A Phase I environmental site assessment (or update of a previous Phase I and or Phase II site assessment) and, with respect to certain Mortgage Loans, a Phase II environmental site assessment (collectively, an “ESA”) meeting ASTM requirements conducted by a reputable environmental consultant in connection with such Mortgage Loan within 12 months prior to its origination date (or an update of a previous ESA was prepared), and such ESA either (i) did not identify the existence of recognized environmental conditions (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-05 or its successor, hereinafter “Environmental Condition”) at the related Mortgaged Property or the need for further investigation with respect to any Environmental Condition that was identified, or (ii) if the existence of an Environmental Condition or need for further investigation was indicated in any such ESA, then at least one of the following statements is true: (A) an amount reasonably estimated by a reputable environmental consultant to be sufficient to cover the estimated cost to cure any material noncompliance with applicable environmental laws or the Environmental Condition has been escrowed by the related Mortgagor and is held or controlled by the related lender; (B) if the only Environmental Condition relates to the presence of asbestos-containing materials, radon in indoor air, lead based paint or lead in drinking water, and the only recommended action in the ESA is the institution of such a plan, an operations or maintenance plan has been required to be instituted by the related Mortgagor that can reasonably be expected to mitigate the

B-18

 

identified risk; (C) the Environmental Condition identified in the related environmental report was remediated or abated in all material respects prior to the date hereof, and, if and as appropriate, a no further action or closure letter was obtained from the applicable governmental regulatory authority (or the Environmental Condition affecting the related Mortgaged Property was otherwise listed by such governmental authority as “closed” or a reputable environmental consultant has concluded that no further action is required); (D) a secured creditor environmental policy or a pollution legal liability insurance policy that covers liability for the Environmental Condition was obtained from an insurer rated no less than A- (or the equivalent) by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., S&P Global Ratings, acting through Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC and/or Fitch Ratings, Inc.; (E) a party not related to the Mortgagor was identified as the responsible party for such Environmental Condition and such responsible party has financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to address the situation; or (F) a party related to the Mortgagor having financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to address the situation is required to take action. To the Seller’s knowledge, except as set forth in the ESA, there is no Environmental Condition (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-05 or its successor) at the related Mortgaged Property.

(42)Appraisal. The Servicing File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property with an appraisal date within 6 months of the Mortgage Loan origination date, and within 12 months of the Closing Date. The appraisal is signed by an appraiser who is either a Member of the Appraisal Institute (“MAI”) and/or has been licensed and certified to prepare appraisals in the state where the Mortgaged Property is located. Each appraiser has represented in such appraisal or in a supplemental letter that the appraisal satisfies the requirements of the “Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice” as adopted by the Appraisal Standards Board of the Appraisal Foundation and has certified that such appraiser had no interest, direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged Property or the Mortgagor or in any loan made on the security thereof, and its compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan.
(43)Mortgage Loan Schedule. The information pertaining to each Mortgage Loan which is set forth on the mortgage loan schedule attached as Exhibit A to this Agreement is true and correct in all material respects as of the Cut-off Date and contains all information required by this Agreement to be contained therein.
(44)Cross-Collateralization. No Mortgage Loan is cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted with any mortgage loan that is outside the Trust, except (i) with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, any other mortgage loan that is part of such Whole Loan and (ii) with respect to any Crossed Mortgage Loan, any mortgage loan that is part of a Whole Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with such Mortgage Loan or with a Whole Loan of which such Mortgage Loan is a part.
(45)Advance of Funds by the Seller. After origination, no advance of funds has been made by the Seller to the related Mortgagor other than in accordance with the Mortgage Loan documents, and, to the Seller’s knowledge, no funds have been received from any person other than the related Mortgagor or an affiliate for, or on account of, payments due on the Mortgage Loan (other than as contemplated by the Mortgage Loan documents, such as,

B-19

 

by way of example and not in limitation of the foregoing, amounts paid by the tenant(s) into a lender-controlled lockbox if required or contemplated under the related lease or the related Mortgage Loan documents). Neither the Seller nor any affiliate thereof has any obligation to make any capital contribution to any Mortgagor under a Mortgage Loan, other than contributions made on or prior to the date hereof.

(46)Compliance with Anti-Money Laundering Laws. The Seller has complied in all material respects with all applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including without limitation the USA Patriot Act of 2001 with respect to the origination of the Mortgage Loan, the failure to comply with which would have a material adverse effect on the Mortgage Loan.

 

For purposes of these representations and warranties, the phrases “the Seller’s knowledge” or “the Seller’s belief” and other words and phrases of like import shall mean, except where otherwise expressly set forth herein, the actual state of knowledge or belief of the Seller, its officers and employees directly responsible for the underwriting, origination, servicing or sale of the Mortgage Loans regarding the matters expressly set forth herein.

Dated as of January 1, 2020

GS Mortgage Securities Trust 2020-GC45

This Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”), dated as of January 1, 2020, is between GS Mortgage Securities Corporation II, a Delaware corporation, as purchaser (in such capacity, the “Purchaser”), and German American Capital Corporation, a Maryland corporation, as seller (the “Seller”).

Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of January 1, 2020 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among the Purchaser, as depositor (in such capacity, the “Depositor”), Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as master servicer (in such capacity, the “Master Servicer”) and as general special servicer (in such capacity, a “Special Servicer”), CWCapital Asset Management LLC, as Starwood special servicer (a “Special Servicer”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as certificate administrator (in such capacity, the “Certificate Administrator”) and as trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”), and Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as operating advisor (in such capacity, the “Operating Advisor”) and 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 commercial mortgage loans, to a trust fund and certificates and the Pooled RR Interest representing ownership interests in the Mortgage Loans, together with the other commercial mortgage loans, will be issued by a New York common law 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 GS Mortgage Securities Trust 2020-GC45, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2020-GC45 (collectively, the “Certificates”) and the Pooled RR Interest will be created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, “Mortgage Loans” refers to the mortgage loans listed on Exhibit A and for the avoidance of doubt, the term Mortgage Loan shall include a subordinate interest in one mortgage loan, the “Trust Subordinate Companion Loan”) and “Mortgaged Properties” refers to the properties securing such Mortgage Loans. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Mortgage Loan identified on Exhibit B to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as “1633 Broadway” (the “1633 Broadway Mortgage Loan”) is a Joint Mortgage Loan with respect to the Seller that is part of a Whole Loan that was co-originated by the Seller, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association and Goldman Sachs Bank USA, and the Seller is only selling to the Purchaser the related Mortgage Note(s) in favor of the Seller (or one of its affiliates) and its successors and assigns in the original principal amount of $15,000,000 with respect to the 1633 Broadway Mortgage Loan, representing the 25% pari passu interest of the Seller in the 1633 Broadway Mortgage Loan (and only such Mortgage Note(s) will constitute a “Mortgage Loan” or “Mortgage Note(s)” hereunder).

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 the holders of interests in any related Companion Loans) all of its right, title and interest 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, (excluding payments of principal, interest and other amounts due and payable on the Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-off Date and excluding any Retained Defeasance Rights and Obligations with respect to the Mortgage Loans). 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 the holders of interests in any related Companion Loans) will be vested in the Purchaser and immediately thereafter the Trustee, and the ownership of records and documents with respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than those to be held by the holders of any related Companion Loans) prepared by or which come into the possession of the Seller shall (subject to the rights of the holders of interests in any related Companion Loans) immediately vest in the Purchaser and immediately thereafter the Trustee. In connection with the transfer of the Mortgage Loans related to the Whole Loans 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 the Mortgage Loans related to Whole Loans) in, to and under the related Co-Lender Agreements (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 a Companion Loan Holder). The Purchaser will sell (i) the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-AB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class A-S, Class B and Class C Certificates (the “Public Certificates”) to the underwriters specified in the underwriting agreement, dated as of January 10, 2020 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), among the Depositor, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“GS&Co.”), Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“CGMI”), Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. (“DBSI”), Academy Securities, Inc. (“Academy”) and Drexel Hamilton, LLC (“Drexel” and, together with GS&Co., CGMI, DBSI and Academy, the “Underwriters”); (ii) the Class D, Class X-D, Class E, Class F-RR, Class G-RR, Class H-RR and Class R Certificates (the “Private Certificates”) to GS&Co., CGMI, DBSI, Academy and Drexel as the initial purchasers (the “Initial Purchasers” and, collectively with the Underwriters, the “Dealers”) specified in the certificate purchase agreement, dated as of January 10, 2020 (the “Certificate Purchase Agreement”), among the Depositor and the Initial Purchasers and (iii) the Class SW-A, Class SW-B, Class SW-C and Class SW-D Certificates (the “Loan-Specific Certificates”) to GS&Co. and DBSI (the “Loan-Specific Initial Purchasers”) specified in the loan-specific certificate purchase agreement, dated as of January 24, 2020 (the “Loan-Specific Certificate Purchase Agreement”) among the Depositor and the Loan-Specific Initial Purchasers.

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 (i) transfer $10,670,958 Certificate Balance of the Class RR Certificates and the Class SW-VR Certificates to the Seller or at the Seller’s direction (which Class RR Certificates will be deemed to be transferred from the Purchaser to Goldman Sachs Mortgage Company (“GSMC”) and from GSMC to the Seller) and (ii) pay, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to the Seller or at the Seller’s direction that sum set forth in the funding schedule executed by the Seller and the Purchaser relating to the sale of the Mortgage Loans contemplated hereby (but subject to certain post-settlement adjustments for expenses incurred by the Underwriters and the Initial Purchasers on behalf of the Depositor and for which the Seller is specifically responsible). The Seller hereby directs the Purchaser to transfer the Class RR and Class SW-VR Certificates directly to Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch.

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 and the Pooled RR Interest Owner) 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 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.

It is expressly agreed and understood that, notwithstanding the assignment of the Mortgage Loan documents, it is expressly intended that the Seller will receive the benefit of any securitization indemnification provisions in the Mortgage Loan documents.

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 to or deposit with (or cause to be delivered to or deposited with) the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee), with copies to be delivered to the Master Servicer (other than with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), 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 and the Master Servicer 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

SECTION 4        Treatment as a Security Agreement. Pursuant to Section 1 hereof, the Seller has 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

-6-

(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 (2), (3), (6) (if recorded) and (15) 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.

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;

-14-

 

(d)               Pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, if the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Operating Advisor (solely in its capacity as operating advisor) discovers (without implying any duty of such person to make, or to attempt to make, such a discovery) or receives notice alleging (A) 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) a breach of any representation or warranty of the Seller made pursuant to Section 6(c) of this Agreement with respect to any Mortgage Loan (a “Breach”), then such party is required to give prompt written notice thereof to the Seller.

(e)               Pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) or the applicable Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) is required to determine whether any such Document Defect or Breach with respect to any Mortgage Loan materially and adversely affects, or such Document Defect is deemed in accordance with Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to materially and adversely affect, the value of the Mortgage Loan or any related REO Property or the interests of the Trustee or the Certificateholders and the Pooled RR Interest Owner therein or causes any Mortgage Loan to fail to be a Qualified Mortgage (any such Document Defect shall constitute a “Material Document Defect” and any such Breach shall constitute a “Material Breach”; and a Material Breach and/or a Material Document Defect, as the case may be, shall constitute a “Material Defect”). The Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer may (but will not be obligated to) consult with the Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer regarding any determination of a Material Defect for a Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan. If such Document Defect or Breach has been determined to be a Material Defect, then the Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer that made such determination will be required to give prompt written notice thereof to the Seller, the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and (for so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing) the Directing Holder. Promptly upon becoming aware of any such Material Defect (including through a written notice given by any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as provided above if the Document Defect or Breach identified therein is a Material Defect), the Seller shall, not later than 90 days from the earlier of (a) the earlier of the Seller’s discovery or receipt of notice of, and receipt of a demand to take action with respect to, such Material Defect or (b) in the case of a Material Defect relating to a Mortgage Loan not being a Qualified Mortgage, any party’s discovery of such Material Defect (such 90-day period, the “Initial Cure Period”), (i) cure such Material Defect in all material respects (which cure shall include payment of any losses and Additional Trust Expenses associated therewith, including the amount of any fees and reimbursable expenses of the Asset Representations Reviewer attributable to the Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan), (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or REO Loan (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 (iii) substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (other than with respect to the related Whole Loans, for which no substitution shall be permitted) 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; provided, that the Seller

-15-

 

may not repurchase the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan without repurchasing the related Starwood Industrial Portfolio Whole Loan; provided, however, that if (i) such Material Defect is capable of being cured but not within such Initial Cure 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 Initial Cure Period, then the Seller shall have an additional 90 days (such additional 90 day period, the “Extended Cure Period”) 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 Extended Cure Period, the Seller shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee, the applicable Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Certificate Administrator setting forth the reasons such Material Defect was not cured within the Initial Cure Period and what actions the Seller is pursuing in connection with the cure of such Material Defect and stating that the Seller anticipates that such Material Defect will be cured within such Extended Cure Period); and provided, further, that, if any such Material Defect is still not cured after the Initial Cure Period and any such Extended Cure 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, repurchase or substitution obligations in respect of such Document Defect so long as the Seller certifies to the Trustee, the applicable Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor 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 the 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. 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 Document Defect, but if the Seller discovers a Material Defect with respect to a Mortgage Loan, it will notify the Purchaser. 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, and received by the Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust, after the related Cut-off Date through, but not including, 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 applicable 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 Seller effecting the related repurchase or substitution within two (2) Business Days following receipt of properly identified and available funds constituting such Periodic Payment. From and after the date of substitution, each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, if any, that has been substituted shall be deemed to constitute a “Mortgage Loan” hereunder for all purposes.

No delay in either the discovery of a Material Defect on the part of any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or in providing notice of such Material Defect shall relieve the Seller of its obligation to repurchase the related Mortgage Loan (if it is otherwise required to do so under this Agreement) unless (i) the Seller did not otherwise discover or have knowledge of such Material Defect, (ii) such delay is the result of the failure by a party to the Pooling and

-16-

 

Servicing Agreement to provide prompt notice as required by the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement after such party has actual knowledge of such Material Defect (knowledge shall not be deemed to exist by reason of the custodian’s exception report) and such delay precludes the Seller from curing such Material Defect and (iii) provided that the Seller is afforded a cure period of 90 days from the Seller’s receipt of notice thereof, such Material Defect did not relate to a Mortgage Loan not being a Qualified Mortgage as described in this section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Mortgage Loan is not secured by a Mortgaged Property that is, in whole or in part, a hotel, restaurant (operated by a Mortgagor), healthcare facility, nursing home, assisted living facility, self-storage facility, theatre or fitness center (operated by a Mortgagor), then the failure to deliver to the Custodian copies of the UCC Financing Statements with respect to such Mortgage Loan shall not be a Material Defect.

If (i) any Mortgage Loan is required to be repurchased or substituted for in the manner described in the first paragraph of this Section 6(e), (ii) such Mortgage Loan is a Crossed Underlying Loan, and (iii) the applicable Material Defect does not constitute a Material Defect as to any other Crossed Underlying Loan in the related Crossed Mortgage Loan Group (without regard to this paragraph), then the applicable Material Defect shall be deemed to constitute a Material Defect as to each other Crossed Underlying Loan in the related Crossed Mortgage Loan Group for purposes of this paragraph, and the Seller will be required to repurchase or substitute for all of the remaining Crossed Underlying Loans in the related Crossed Mortgage Loan Group as provided in the first paragraph of this Section 6(e) unless such other Crossed Underlying Loans in such Crossed Mortgage Loan Group satisfy the Crossed Underlying Loan Repurchase Criteria. In the event that the remaining Crossed Underlying Loans satisfy the aforementioned criteria, the Seller may elect either to repurchase or substitute for only the affected Crossed Underlying Loan as to which the related Material Defect exists or to repurchase or substitute for all of the Crossed Underlying Loans in the related Crossed Mortgage Loan Group. The Seller shall be responsible for the cost of any Appraisal required to be obtained to determine if the Crossed Underlying Loan Repurchase Criteria have been satisfied, so long as the scope and cost of such Appraisal has been approved by the Seller (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld).

To the extent that the Seller is required to repurchase or substitute for a Crossed Underlying Loan hereunder in the manner prescribed above while the Trustee continues to hold any other Crossed Underlying Loans in the related Crossed Mortgage Loan Group, neither the Seller nor the Purchaser shall enforce any remedies against the other’s Primary Collateral, but each is permitted to exercise remedies against the Primary Collateral securing its respective related Mortgage Loans, including with respect to the Trustee, the Primary Collateral securing the Mortgage Loans still held by the Trustee.

If the exercise of remedies by one party would materially impair the ability of the other party to exercise its remedies with respect to the Primary Collateral securing the Crossed Underlying Loans held by such party, then the Seller and the Purchaser shall forbear from exercising such remedies until the Mortgage Loan documents evidencing and securing the relevant Mortgage Loans can be modified in a manner that complies with this Agreement to remove the threat of material impairment as a result of the exercise of remedies or some other accommodation can be reached. Any reserve or other cash collateral or letters of credit securing the Crossed Underlying Loans shall be allocated between such Crossed Underlying Loans in

-17-

 

accordance with the related Mortgage Loan documents, or otherwise on a pro rata basis based upon their outstanding Stated Principal Balances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Crossed Underlying Loan included in the Trust Fund is modified to terminate the related cross-collateralization and/or cross-default provisions, as a condition to such modification, the Seller shall furnish to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator an Opinion of Counsel that any modification shall not cause an Adverse REMIC Event. Any expenses incurred by the Purchaser in connection with such modification or accommodation (including but not limited to recoverable attorney fees) shall be paid by the Seller.

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, failure of the Seller to deliver the documents referred to in clauses (1), (2), (7), (8), (18) and (19) in the definition of “Mortgage File” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in accordance with this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for any Mortgage Loan shall be deemed a Material Document Defect; provided, however, that no Document Defect (except such 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.

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 Enforcing Servicer, on behalf of the Trust, and, if no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, with the consent of the Directing Holder) are able to agree upon the Loss of Value Payment for a Material 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 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.

With respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Seller agrees that if a “material document defect” (as such term or any analogous term is defined in the related Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement) exists under the related Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement with respect to the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan included in the related Non-Serviced Securitization, and such Non-Serviced Companion Loan is repurchased by or on behalf of such Seller (or other responsible repurchasing entity) from the related Non-Serviced Securitization as a result of such “material document defect” (as such term or any analogous term is defined in such Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement), then the Seller shall repurchase such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that such repurchase obligation does not apply to any “material document defect” (as such term or any analogous term is defined in the related Non-

-18-

 

Serviced Pooling Agreement) related solely to the promissory note for such 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 applicable Special Servicer shall each tender to the repurchasing entity, upon delivery to each of them of a receipt executed by the repurchasing entity evidencing such repurchase or substitution, all portions of the Mortgage File (including, without limitation, the Servicing File) and other documents 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 repurchasing 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 have been satisfied. In the event a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan is substituted for a Mortgage Loan by the Seller as contemplated by this Section 6, the Seller shall deliver to the Custodian the related Mortgage File and to the Master Servicer all Escrow Payments and reserve funds pertaining to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan possessed by it and a certification to the effect that such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies all of the requirements of the definition of “Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

(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, repurchase, or substitute for, 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 Section 6(c) of this Agreement or a Document Defect with respect to any Mortgage Loan.

(i)                 The Seller shall promptly notify the Depositor if (i) the Seller receives a Repurchase Communication of a 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request (other than from the Depositor), (ii) the Seller repurchases or replaces a Mortgage Loan, (iii) the Seller receives a Repurchase Communication of a Repurchase Request Withdrawal (other than from the Depositor) or (iv) the Seller rejects or disputes any 15Ga-1 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 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request or

-19-

 

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 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request or Repurchase Request Withdrawal was received, (y) the related Mortgage Loan was repurchased or replaced or (z) the 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request was rejected or disputed, as applicable, and (3) if known, the basis for (x) the 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request (as asserted in the 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request) or (y) any rejection or dispute of a 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request, as applicable.

The Seller shall provide to the Depositor 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 pursuant to Rule 15Ga-1 under the Exchange Act 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.

In addition, the Seller shall provide the Depositor, upon request, such other information in its possession as would permit the Depositor 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 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 2.03(b) 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 2.03(b) 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 15Ga-1 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 001798388.

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.

-20-

 

(j)                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Seller’s obligation in respect of a Material Defect with respect to a Joint Mortgage Loan shall be solely in respect of the Seller’s pro rata share of such Joint Mortgage Loan based on the Seller’s Mortgage Loan Seller Percentage Interest as of the date hereof in such Joint Mortgage Loan.

(k)               If the Mortgage Note or Mortgage Notes with respect to a Joint Mortgage Loan in favor of the Seller and its successors and assigns are repurchased or replaced by the Seller pursuant to this Section 6, and any other related mortgage notes evidencing such Joint Mortgage Loan are not repurchased or replaced by any Other Seller and any such mortgage note remains in the Trust, then the Seller and the Purchaser hereby agree that (i) the provisions in Section 3.35 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the related Co-Lender Agreement shall govern the servicing and administration of such Joint Mortgage Loan as if (a) the remaining mortgage notes in the Trust were collectively a “Mortgage Loan” (as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and (b) each repurchased Mortgage Note were a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (or, if the Joint Mortgage Loan was a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, a Non-Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan), (ii) the Seller and its successors and assigns in respect of such repurchased or replaced Mortgage Note shall be bound by such Section 3.35 as if it were a party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and (iii) the Seller and its successors and assigns shall from time to time (as may be necessary) deliver to the Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as applicable, the Mortgage Loan documents constituting or related to any applicable Mortgage Note repurchased by it, any requests for release and any court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or other documents necessary to the foreclosure or trustee’s sale in respect of the related Mortgaged Property or to any legal action or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the related Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law or equity with respect to the related Mortgage Note.

(b)               In the event that a Covered Party or any BHC Affiliate of such Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, any Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a State of the United States.

(1) The Monthly Debt Service shown for Mortgage Loans with a partial interest-only period reflects the amount payable after the expiration of the interest-only period.
(2) The open period is inclusive of the Maturity Date / ARD.
(3) The Mortgage Loan is part of a whole loan structure. Cut-off Date LTV Ratio, LTV Ratio at Maturity / ARD, Underwritten NCF DSCR, Debt Yield on Underwritten Net Operating Income, Debt Yield on Underwritten Net Cash Flow and Loan Per Unit calculations are based on the Mortgage Loan and any related Pari Passu Companion Loans, but exclude any related Subordinate Companion Loans.
(4) The 1633 Broadway Whole Loan was co-originated by Goldman Sachs Bank USA, JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, DBR Investments Co. Limited and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association.
(5) The lockout period will be at least 25 payment dates beginning with and including the First Due Date in January 2020. For the purpose of this prospectus, the assumed lockout period of 25 payment dates is based on the expected GSMS 2020-GC45 securitization closing date in January 2020. The actual lockout period may be longer.
(6) The 560 Mission Street Whole Loan was co-originated by DBR Investments Co. Limited and Bank of America, N.A.
(7) The 560 Mission Street whole loan, the “servicing shift whole loan”, will initially be serviced by the master servicer and the special servicer pursuant to the pooling and servicing agreement for this transaction. From and after the date on which the related controlling companion loan is securitized (the “servicing shift securitization date”), it is anticipated that the servicing shift whole loan will be serviced under, and by the master servicer designated in, the related pooling and servicing agreement entered into in connection with such securitization (the “servicing shift pooling and servicing agreement”). Prior to the servicing shift securitization date, the servicing shift whole loan will be a “serviced whole loan”. On and after the servicing shift securitization date, the servicing shift whole loan will be a “non-serviced whole loan”.
(8) The Ongoing Replacement Reserve is calculated as the product of (x) $0.15 and (y) rentable square feet, divided by 12 and is capped at the product of rentable square feet and $0.30. The Ongoing Rollover Reserve is calculated as the product of (x) $0.35 and (y) rentable square feet, divided by 12 and is capped at the product of rentable square feet and $0.70.
(9) The Whole Loan is structured with a B Note with an original principal balance equal to $65,527,072. The B Note is full term interest only with a 3.23100% interest rate and co-terminous with the senior mortgage loan.
(10) The lockout period will be at least 24 payment dates beginning with and including the First Due Date in February 2020. For the purpose of this prospectus, the assumed lockout period of 24 payment dates is based on the expected GSMS 2020-GC45 securitization closing date in January 2020. The actual lockout period may be longer.
(11) The Southcenter Mall Mortgaged Property is owned in fee by the borrower, except for a parking parcel containing approximately 1,350 parking spaces, in which the borrower has a sub-ground leasehold interest through June 2045. The ground rent under the lease is currently approximately $8,175 per month and resets every 10-year period subject to the methodology in the ground lease documents.
(12) For the Ongoing Replacement Reserves, on each monthly payment date up to and including the January 2021 payment date an amount equal to 2.0% and thereafter 4.0%, in each case, of the rents for the second proceeding month is required to be deposited. The borrowers have informed the related lender that they intend to complete approximately $14.3 million of renovations to the Mortgaged Property during the five years of the loan term. At origination, the borrower deposited $5,074,000 into a capital expenditure account for such renovations. The remaining estimated cost of such renovations has not been reserved for. It is anticipated that such renovations, if effected, will be made from Ongoing Replacement Reserves deposits, or from excess cash flow.  We cannot assure you that such sources of funding will be sufficient to pay for the remaining costs of such renovations. Furthermore, the Mortgage Loan documents do not require that such renovations be completed.
(13) The borrower is required to fund $520,000 into the Other Reserve in the months of June, July, August, September and October each year to be used during the shortfall months. The ongoing seasonal working capital reserve is capped at $3,000,000.
(14) The Crystal Springs Resort Mortgaged Property is operated as a hotel and resort complex that includes two condominium hotels, known as Grand Cascades Lodge and Minerals Hotel. However, the borrowers do not own any of the hotel rooms at the Crystal Springs Resort. Instead, the hotel rooms are comprised of residential condominium units owned by third-party condominium unit owners within the Grand Cascades Lodge condominium and Minerals Hotel condominium. The borrowers have entered into rental management agreements with the residential condominium unit owners, pursuant to which the residential condominium units are rented out as guestrooms (other than for 15 days a year, during which the condominium owners have the right to use the units) and the related borrowers receive fees, as well as the right to retain 50% of the rental revenues after payment of fees, commissions and any applicable taxes.
(15) The borrower has applied for a J-51 tax exemption and tax abatement which have not been approved. The Cut-off Date LTV Ratio and LTV Ratio at Maturity / ARD are calculated on the basis of the “as-is” appraised value of $8,000,000, based on the extraordinary assumption that the J-51 tax exemption and abatement are approved. The appraised value of $8,000,000 is based on the appraisers’ net present value of the tax savings of $360,000 with the J-51 in place. The Cut-off Date LTV Ratio and LTV Ratio at Maturity / ARD on the basis of the “as-is” appraised value of $7,600,000 are both 67.8%.
(16) The Cut-off Date LTV Ratio and LTV Ratio at Maturity / ARD are calculated on the basis of the hypothetical “as-is” appraised value of $8,400,000. There is approximately 2,000 SF of surplus land that could be developed with additional guestrooms and a future enhancement to the Mortgaged Property. The appraiser’s “as-is” value of $9,200,000 assumes a new owner would elect to expand the guestroom count by two keys. The Cut-off Date LTV Ratio and LTV Ratio at Maturity / ARD on the basis of the “as-is” appraised value are both 40.8%.
(17) The Original Balance, Cut-Off Date Balance and Monthly Debt Service reflect only the note being sold by GACC.

 

   

 

EXHIBIT B

MORTGAGE LOAN REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

 

(1)Whole Loan; Ownership of Mortgage Loans. Except with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, each Mortgage Loan is a whole loan and not a participation interest in a Mortgage Loan. Each Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan is a portion of a whole loan evidenced by a Mortgage Note. At the time of the sale, transfer and assignment to the Purchaser, no Mortgage Note or Mortgage was subject to any assignment (other than assignments to the Seller or, with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the related Non-Serviced Trustee), participation or pledge, and the Seller had good title to, and was the sole owner of, each Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, charges, pledges, encumbrances, participations, any other ownership interests on, in or to such Mortgage Loan other than any servicing rights appointment or similar agreement. The Seller has full right and authority to sell, assign and transfer each Mortgage Loan, and the assignment to the Purchaser constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment of such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, charges or security interests of any nature encumbering such Mortgage Loan.
(2)Loan Document Status. Each related Mortgage Note, Mortgage, Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits (if a separate instrument), guaranty and other agreement executed by or on behalf of the related Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor in connection with such Mortgage Loan is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the related Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor (subject to any non-recourse provisions contained in any of the foregoing agreements and any applicable state anti-deficiency or market value limit deficiency legislation), as applicable, and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (i) as such enforcement may be limited by (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (b) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (ii) that certain provisions in such Mortgage Loan documents (including, without limitation, provisions requiring the payment of default interest, late fees or prepayment/yield maintenance fees, charges and/or premiums) are, or may be, further limited or rendered unenforceable by or under applicable law, but (subject to the limitations set forth in clause (i) above) such limitations or unenforceability will not render such Mortgage Loan documents invalid as a whole or materially interfere with the mortgagee’s realization of the principal benefits and/or security provided thereby (clauses (i) and (ii) collectively, the “Standard Qualifications”).

Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentences, there is no valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right of rescission available to the related Mortgagor with respect to any of the related Mortgage Notes, Mortgages or other Mortgage Loan documents, including, without limitation, any such valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right based on intentional fraud by the Seller in connection with the origination of the

B-1

 

Mortgage Loan, that would deny the mortgagee the principal benefits intended to be provided by the Mortgage Note, Mortgage or other Mortgage Loan documents.

(3)Mortgage Provisions. The Mortgage Loan documents for each Mortgage Loan contain provisions that render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the practical realization against the Mortgaged Property of the principal benefits of the security intended to be provided thereby, including realization by judicial or, if applicable, non-judicial foreclosure subject to the limitations set forth in the Standard Qualifications.
(4)Mortgage Status; Waivers and Modifications. Since origination and except by written instruments set forth in the related Mortgage File 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 the remaining portion of such Mortgaged Property; and (c) neither the related Mortgagor nor the related guarantor has been released from its material obligations under the Mortgage Loan. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, except as contained in a written document included in the Mortgage File, there have been no modifications, amendments or waivers, that could be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on such Mortgage Loan consented to by the Seller on or after December 23, 2019.
(5)Hospitality Provisions. The Mortgage Loan documents for each Mortgage Loan that is secured by a hospitality property operated pursuant to a franchise or license agreement includes an executed comfort letter or similar agreement signed by the related Mortgagor and franchisor or licensor of such property that, subject to the applicable terms of such franchise or license agreement and comfort letter or similar agreement, is enforceable by the Trust (or, in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, by the related Non-Serviced Trust) against such franchisor or licensor either (A) directly or as an assignee of the originator, or (B) upon the Seller’s or its designee’s providing notice of the transfer of the Mortgage Loan to the Trust (or, in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, by the seller of the note which is contributed to the related Non-Serviced Trust or its designee providing notice of the transfer of such note to the related Non-Serviced Trust) in accordance with the terms of such executed comfort letter or similar agreement, which the Seller or its designee (except in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) shall provide, or if neither (A) nor (B) is applicable, except in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Seller or its designee shall apply for, on the Trust’s behalf, a new comfort letter or similar agreement as of the Closing Date. 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. For the avoidance of doubt, no representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in revenues to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of UCC financing statements is required to effect such perfection.

B-2

 

(6)Lien; Valid Assignment. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each assignment of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits to the Trust (or, with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the related Non-Serviced Trustee) constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment to the Trust (or, with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the related Non-Serviced Trustee). Each related Mortgage and Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits 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 leasehold interest in the Mortgaged Property in the principal amount of such Mortgage Loan or allocated loan amount (subject only to Permitted Encumbrances (as defined below) and the exceptions to paragraph (7) set forth in Exhibit C (each such exception, a “Title Exception”)), except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Standard Qualifications. Such Mortgaged Property (subject to and excepting Permitted Encumbrances and the Title Exceptions) as of origination was, and as of the Cut-off Date, to the Seller’s knowledge, is free and clear of any recorded mechanics’ liens, recorded materialmen’s liens and other recorded encumbrances which are prior to or equal with the lien of the related Mortgage (which lien secures the related Whole Loan, in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan), except those which are bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by a lender’s title insurance policy (as described below), and, to the Seller’s knowledge and subject to the rights of tenants (as tenants only) (subject to and excepting Permitted Encumbrances and the Title Exceptions), no rights exist which under law could give rise to any such lien or encumbrance that would be prior to or equal with the lien of the related Mortgage, except those which are bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by a lender’s title insurance policy (as described below). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of Uniform Commercial Code (“UCC”) financing statements is required in order to effect such perfection.
(7)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 secures the related Whole Loan, in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan), which lien is subject only to (a) the lien of current real property taxes, water charges, sewer rents and assessments not yet due and payable; (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public record; (c) the exceptions (general and specific) and exclusions set forth in such Title Policy; (d) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject; (e) the rights of tenants (as tenants only) under leases (including subleases) pertaining to the related Mortgaged Property and condominium

B-3

 

declarations; and (f) if the related Mortgage Loan is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with another Mortgage Loan or a Whole Loan or is part of a Whole Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with another Whole Loan (each a “Crossed Mortgage Loan”), the lien of the Mortgage for such other Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with such Crossed Mortgage Loan or with the Whole Loan of which such Crossed Mortgage Loan is a part, provided that none of which items (a) through (f), individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely interferes with the value or current use of the Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or the Mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations when they become 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.

(8)Junior Liens. It being understood that B notes secured by the same Mortgage as a Mortgage Loan are not subordinate mortgages or junior liens, except for any Crossed Mortgage Loan, there are, as of origination, and to the Seller’s knowledge, as of the Cut-off Date, no subordinate mortgages or junior liens securing the payment of money encumbering the related Mortgaged Property (other than Permitted Encumbrances and the Title Exceptions, taxes and assessments, mechanics and materialmen’s liens (which are the subject of the representation in paragraph (6) above), and equipment and other personal property financing). Except as set forth in Exhibit B-30-1, the Seller has no knowledge of any mezzanine debt secured directly by interests in the related Mortgagor.
(9)Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits. There exists as part of the related Mortgage File an Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits (either as a separate instrument or incorporated into the related Mortgage). Subject to the Permitted Encumbrances and the Title Exceptions (and, in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, subject to the related Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits constituting security for the entire Whole Loan), each related Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits 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 Standard Qualifications. The related Mortgage or related Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits, subject to applicable law, provides that, upon an event of default under the related Mortgage Loan, a receiver is permitted to be appointed for the collection of rents or for the related mortgagee to enter into possession to collect the rents or for rents to be paid directly to the mortgagee.
(10)UCC Filings. If the related Mortgaged Property is operated as a hospitality property, the Seller has filed and/or recorded or caused to be filed and/or recorded (or, if not filed

B-4

 

and/or recorded, have been submitted in proper form for filing and/or recording), UCC financing statements in the appropriate public filing and/or recording offices necessary at the time of the origination of the related Mortgage Loan to perfect a valid security interest in all items of physical personal property reasonably necessary to operate such Mortgaged Property owned by such Mortgagor and located on the related Mortgaged Property (other than any non-material personal property, any personal property subject to a purchase money security interest, a sale and leaseback financing arrangement as permitted under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents or any other personal property leases applicable to such personal property), to the extent perfection may be effected pursuant to applicable law by recording or filing, as the case may be. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each related Mortgage (or equivalent document) creates a valid and enforceable lien and security interest on the items of personalty described above. No representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of UCC financing statements are required in order to effect such perfection.

(11)Condition of Property. The Seller or the originator of the Mortgage Loan inspected or caused to be inspected each related Mortgaged Property within six months of origination of the Mortgage Loan and within twelve months of the Cut-off Date.

An engineering report or property condition assessment was prepared in connection with the origination of each Mortgage Loan no more than twelve months prior to the Cut-off Date. To the Seller’s knowledge, based solely upon due diligence customarily performed in connection with the origination of comparable mortgage loans, as of the Closing Date, each related Mortgaged Property was free and clear of any material damage (other than (i) any damage or deficiency that is estimated to cost less than $50,000 to repair, (ii) any deferred maintenance for which escrows were established at origination and (iii) any damage fully covered by insurance) that would affect materially and adversely the use or value of such Mortgaged Property as security for the Mortgage Loan.

(12)Taxes and Assessments. All taxes, governmental assessments and other outstanding governmental charges (including, without limitation, water and sewage charges), or installments thereof, that could be a lien on the related Mortgaged Property that would be of equal or superior priority to the lien of the Mortgage and that prior to the Cut-off Date have become delinquent in respect of each related Mortgaged Property have been paid, or an escrow of funds has been established in an amount sufficient to cover such payments and reasonably estimated interest and penalties, if any, thereon. For purposes of this representation and warranty, real estate taxes and governmental assessments and other outstanding governmental charges and installments thereof shall not be considered delinquent until the earlier of (a) the date on which interest and/or penalties would first be payable thereon and (b) the date on which enforcement action is entitled to be taken by the related taxing authority.
(13)Condemnation. As of the date of origination and to the Seller’s knowledge as of the Cut-off Date, there is no proceeding pending, and, to the Seller’s knowledge as of the date of origination and as of the Cut-off Date, there is no proceeding threatened, for the total or

B-5

 

partial condemnation of such Mortgaged Property that would have a material adverse effect on the value, use or operation of the Mortgaged Property.

(14)Actions Concerning Mortgage Loan. As of the date of origination and to the Seller’s knowledge as of the Cut-off Date, there was no pending or filed action, suit or proceeding, arbitration or governmental investigation involving any Mortgagor, guarantor, or Mortgagor’s interest in the Mortgaged Property, an adverse outcome of which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect (a) such Mortgagor’s title to the Mortgaged Property, (b) the validity or enforceability of the Mortgage, (c) such Mortgagor’s ability to perform under the related Mortgage Loan, (d) such guarantor’s ability to perform under the related guaranty, (e) the principal benefit of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage Loan documents or (f) the current principal use of the Mortgaged Property.
(15)Escrow Deposits. All escrow deposits and payments required to be escrowed with the lender pursuant to each Mortgage Loan 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 to be escrowed with lender under the related Mortgage Loan documents are being conveyed by the Seller to the Purchaser or its servicer (or, with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the related Non-Serviced Depositor or Non-Serviced Master Servicer).
(16)No Holdbacks. The Stated Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date of the Mortgage Loan set forth on the mortgage loan schedule attached as Exhibit A to this Agreement 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 or other matters with respect to the related Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or other considerations determined by the Seller to merit such holdback).
(17)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 meeting the Insurance Ratings Requirements (as defined below), in an amount (subject to a customary deductible) not less than the lesser of (1) the original principal balance of the related 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 related 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

 

Insurance Ratings Requirements” shall mean either (i) a claims paying or financial strength rating of any of the following; (a) at least “A-:VIII” from A.M. Best Company, (b) at least “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or (c) at least “A-” from S&P Global Ratings, acting through Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC or (ii) the Syndicate Insurance Ratings Requirements. “Syndicate Insurance Ratings Requirements” shall mean insurance provided by a syndicate of insurers, as to which (i) if such syndicate consists of 5 or more members, at least 60% of the coverage is provided by insurers that meet the Insurance Ratings Requirements (under clause (1) of the definition of such term) and up to 40% of the coverage is provided by insurers that have a claims paying or financial strength rating of at least “BBB-” by S&P Global Ratings, acting through Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC or at least “Baa3” by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., and (ii) if such syndicate consists of 4 or fewer members, at least 75% of the coverage is provided by insurers that meet the Insurance Ratings Requirements (under clause (1) of the definition of such term) and up to 25% of the coverage is provided by insurers that have a claims paying or financial strength rating of at least “BBB-” by S&P Global Ratings, acting through Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC or at least “Baa3” by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc.

Each related Mortgaged Property is also covered, and required to be covered pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan documents, by business interruption or rental loss insurance which (subject to a customary deductible) covers a period of not less than 12 months (or with respect to each Mortgage Loan on a single asset with a principal balance of $50 million or more, 18 months).

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 a Mortgaged Property is located within 25 miles of the coast of the Gulf of Mexico or the Atlantic coast of Florida, Georgia, South Carolina or North Carolina, the related Mortgagor is required to maintain coverage for windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or “named storms” issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements or endorsement covering damage from windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or named storms, in an amount not less than the lesser of (1) the original principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan and (2) 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.

Each Mortgaged Property is covered, and required to be covered pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan documents, by a commercial general liability insurance policy issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements including coverage for property damage, contractual damage and personal injury (including bodily injury and death) in

B-7

 

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 either the scenario expected limit (“SEL”) or the probable maximum loss (“PML”) for the Mortgaged Property in the event of an earthquake. In such instance, the SEL or PML, as applicable, 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 SEL or PML, as applicable, 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 S&P Global Ratings, acting through Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC in an amount not less than 100% of the SEL or PML, as applicable.

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 (or Whole Loan, if applicable), the lender (or a trustee appointed by it) having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as the repair or restoration progresses, or (b) to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan (or Whole Loan, if applicable) 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 each Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns as a loss payee under a mortgagee endorsement clause or, in the case of the related general liability insurance policy, as named or additional insured. Such insurance policies will inure to the benefit of the Trustee (or, in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the applicable Other Trustee). Each related Mortgage Loan obligates the related Mortgagor to maintain, or cause to be maintained, 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.

(18)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

B-8

 

and sewer (or well and septic) and all required utilities, all of which are appropriate for the current use of the related Mortgaged Property, and (c) constitutes one or more separate tax parcels which do not include any property which is not part of such Mortgaged Property or is subject to an endorsement under the related Title Policy insuring the Mortgaged Property, or in certain cases, an application has been, or will be, made to the applicable governing authority for creation of separate tax lots, in which case the related Mortgage Loan requires the related Mortgagor to escrow an amount sufficient to pay taxes for the existing tax parcel of which such Mortgaged Property is a part until the separate tax lots are created.

(19)No Encroachments. To the Seller’s knowledge based solely on surveys obtained in connection with origination and the lender’s Title Policy (or, if such policy is not yet issued, a pro forma title policy, a preliminary title policy with escrow instructions or a “marked up” commitment) obtained in connection with the origination of each Mortgage Loan, all material improvements that were included for the purpose of determining the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property at the time of the origination of such Mortgage Loan are within the boundaries of the related Mortgaged Property, except encroachments that do not materially and adversely affect the value or current use of such Mortgaged Property or for which insurance or endorsements were obtained under the Title Policy. No improvements on adjoining parcels encroach onto the related Mortgaged Property except for encroachments that do not materially and adversely affect the value or current use of such Mortgaged Property or for which insurance or endorsements were obtained under the Title Policy. No improvements encroach upon any easements except for encroachments the removal of which would not materially and adversely affect the value or current use of such Mortgaged Property or for which insurance or endorsements obtained with respect to the Title Policy.
(20)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.
(21)REMIC. Each Mortgage Loan is a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(3) (but determined without regard to the rule in the U.S. Department of Treasury Regulations (the “Treasury Regulations”) Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that treats certain defective mortgage loans as qualified mortgages), and, accordingly, (A) the issue price of the Mortgage Loan to the related Mortgagor at origination did not exceed the non-contingent principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and (B) either: (a) such Mortgage Loan is secured by an interest in real property (including 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 (A) the amount of any lien on the real property interest that is senior to the Mortgage Loan and (B) a

B-9

 

proportionate amount of any lien that is in parity with the Mortgage Loan; or (b) substantially all of the proceeds of such Mortgage Loan were used to acquire, improve or protect the real property which served as the only security for such Mortgage Loan (other than a recourse feature or other third-party credit enhancement within the meaning of Section 1.860G-2(a)(1)(ii) of the Treasury Regulations). If the Mortgage Loan was “significantly modified” prior to the Closing Date so as to result in a taxable exchange under Section 1001 of the Code, it either (x) was modified as a result of the default or reasonably foreseeable default of such Mortgage Loan or (y) satisfies the provisions of either sub-clause (B)(a)(i) above (substituting the date of the last such modification for the date the Mortgage Loan was originated) or sub-clause (B)(a)(ii), including the proviso thereto. Any prepayment premium and yield maintenance charges applicable to the Mortgage Loan constitute “customary prepayment penalties” within the meaning of Section 1.860G-1(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations. All terms used in this paragraph shall have the same meanings as set forth in the related Treasury Regulations.

(22)Compliance with Usury Laws. The Mortgage Rate (exclusive of any default interest, late charges, yield maintenance charge, or prepayment premiums) of such Mortgage Loan complied as of the date of origination with, or was exempt from, applicable state or federal laws, regulations and other requirements pertaining to usury.
(23)Authorized to do Business. To the extent required under applicable law, as of the Cut-off Date or as of the date that such entity held the Mortgage Note, each holder of the Mortgage Note was authorized to transact and do business in the jurisdiction in which each related Mortgaged Property is located, or the failure to be so authorized does not materially and adversely affect the enforceability of such Mortgage Loan by the Trust.
(24)Trustee under Deed of Trust. With respect to each Mortgage which is a deed of trust, as of the date of origination and, to the Seller’s knowledge, as of the Closing Date, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, currently so serves and is named in the deed of trust or has been substituted in accordance with the Mortgage and applicable law or may be substituted in accordance with the Mortgage and applicable law by the related mortgagee.
(25)Local Law Compliance. To the Seller’s knowledge, based upon any of a letter from any governmental authorities, a legal opinion, an architect’s letter, a zoning consultant’s report, an endorsement to the related Title Policy, or other affirmative investigation of local law compliance consistent with the investigation conducted by the Seller for similar commercial, multifamily or, if applicable, manufactured housing community mortgage loans intended for securitization, with respect to the improvements located on or forming part of each Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan as of the date of origination of such Mortgage Loan and as of the Cut-off Date, there are no material violations of applicable zoning ordinances, building codes and land laws (collectively “Zoning Regulations”) other than those which (i) constitute a legal non-conforming use or structure, as to which as the Mortgaged Property may be restored or repaired to the full extent necessary to maintain the use of the structure immediately prior to a casualty or the inability to restore or repair to the full extent necessary to maintain the use or structure immediately prior to the casualty would not materially and adversely affect the use or

B-10

 

operation of the Mortgaged Property, (ii) are insured by the Title Policy or other insurance policy, (iii) are insured by law and ordinance insurance coverage 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 or (iv) would not have a material adverse effect on the related Mortgage Loan. The terms of the Mortgage Loan documents require the Mortgagor to comply in all material respects with all applicable governmental regulations, zoning and building laws.

(26)Licenses and Permits. Each Mortgagor covenants in the related Mortgage Loan documents that it shall keep all material licenses, permits and applicable governmental authorizations necessary for its operation of the related Mortgaged Property in full force and effect, and to the Seller’s knowledge based upon a letter from any government authorities, zoning consultant’s report or other affirmative investigation of local law compliance consistent with the investigation conducted by the Seller for similar commercial, multifamily or, if applicable, manufactured housing community mortgage loans intended for securitization, all such material licenses, permits and applicable governmental authorizations are in effect. Each Mortgage Loan requires the related Mortgagor to be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is located.
(27)Recourse Obligations. The Mortgage Loan documents for each Mortgage Loan provide that (a) the related Mortgagor and at least one individual or entity shall be fully liable for actual losses, liabilities, costs and damages arising from certain acts of the related Mortgagor and/or its principals specified in the related Mortgage Loan documents, which acts generally include the following: (i) acts of fraud or intentional material misrepresentation, (ii) misapplication or misappropriation of rents (if after an event of default under the related Mortgage Loan), insurance proceeds or condemnation awards, (iii) intentional material physical waste of the Mortgaged Property (but, in some cases, only to the extent there is sufficient cash flow generated by the related Mortgaged Property to prevent such waste), and (iv) any breach of the environmental covenants contained in the related Mortgage Loan documents, and (b) the related Mortgage Loan shall become full recourse to the related Mortgagor and at least one individual or entity, if the related Mortgagor files a voluntary petition under federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law.
(28)Mortgage Releases. The terms of the related Mortgage or related Mortgage Loan documents do not provide for release of any material portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage except (a) a partial release, accompanied by principal repayment, or partial Defeasance (as defined in paragraph (33)), of not less than a specified percentage at least equal to the lesser of (i) 110% of the related allocated loan amount of such portion of the Mortgaged Property and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (b) upon payment in full of such Mortgage Loan, (c) upon a Defeasance (as defined in paragraph (33)), (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

B-11

 

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 or taking by a State or any political subdivision or authority thereof. With respect to any partial release under the preceding clauses (a) or (d), either: (x) such release of collateral (i) would not constitute a “significant modification” of the subject Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Section 1.860G-2(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations and (ii) would not cause the subject Mortgage Loan to fail to be a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of 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), if the fair market value of the real property constituting such Mortgaged Property (reduced by (1) the amount of any lien on the real property that is senior to the Mortgage Loan and (2) a proportionate amount of any lien on the real property that is in parity with the related Mortgage Loan) after the release is not equal to at least 80% of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (or Whole Loan, as applicable) outstanding after the release, the Mortgagor is required to make a payment of principal in an amount not less than the amount required by the REMIC Provisions.

In the case of any Mortgage Loan, in the event of a condemnation or 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 related Mortgagor can be required to pay down the principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan in an amount not less than the amount required by the REMIC Provisions and, to such extent, condemnation proceeds may not be required to be applied to the restoration of the Mortgaged Property or released to the related 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 related Mortgage Loan and (2) a proportionate amount of any lien on the real property that is in parity with the related Mortgage Loan) is not equal to at least 80% of the remaining principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (or Whole Loan, as applicable).

No Mortgage Loan that is secured by more than one Mortgaged Property or that is a Crossed Mortgage Loan permits the release of cross-collateralization of the related Mortgaged Properties or a portion thereof, including due to a partial condemnation, other than in compliance with the loan-to-value ratio and other requirements of the REMIC Provisions.

(29)Financial Reporting and Rent Rolls. Each Mortgage Loan requires the related 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.

B-12

 

(30)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 and the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2015 (collectively referred to as “TRIA”), from coverage, or if such coverage is excluded, it is covered by a separate terrorism insurance policy. With respect to each other Mortgage Loan, the related special-form 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 related 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 commercial availability on commercially reasonable terms, or as otherwise indicated on Exhibit C; provided, however, that if TRIA or a similar or subsequent statute is not in effect, then, provided that terrorism insurance is commercially available, the Mortgagor under each Mortgage Loan is required to carry terrorism insurance, but in such event such Mortgagor shall not be required to spend on terrorism insurance coverage more than two times the amount of the insurance premium that is payable in respect of the property and business interruption/rental loss insurance required under the related Mortgage Loan documents (without giving effect to the cost of terrorism and earthquake components of such casualty and business interruption/rental loss insurance) at such time, and if the cost of terrorism insurance exceeds such amount, the related Mortgagor is required to purchase the maximum amount of terrorism insurance available with funds equal to such amount.
(31)Due on Sale or Encumbrance. Subject to specific exceptions set forth below, each Mortgage Loan contains a “due on sale” or other such provision for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan if, without the consent of the holder of the Mortgage (which consent, in some cases, may not be unreasonably withheld) and/or complying with the requirements of the related Mortgage Loan documents (which provide for transfers without the consent of the lender which are customarily acceptable to the Seller lending on the security of property comparable to the related Mortgaged Property, including, without limitation, transfers of worn-out or obsolete furnishings, fixtures, or equipment promptly replaced with property of equivalent value and functionality and transfers by leases entered into in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan documents), (a) the related Mortgaged Property, or any equity interest of greater than 50% in the related Mortgagor, is directly or indirectly pledged, transferred or sold (in each case a “Transfer”), other than as related to (i) family and estate planning Transfers or Transfers upon death or legal incapacity, (ii) Transfers to certain affiliates as defined in the related Mortgage Loan documents, (iii) Transfers of less than, or other than, a controlling interest in the related Mortgagor, (iv) Transfers to another holder of direct or indirect equity in the Mortgagor, a specific Person designated in the related Mortgage Loan documents or a Person satisfying specific criteria identified

B-13

 

in the related Mortgage Loan documents, such as a qualified equityholder, (v) Transfers of stock or similar equity units in publicly traded companies, (vi) a substitution or release of collateral within the parameters of paragraphs (28) and (33) herein or the exceptions thereto set forth in Exhibit C, or (vii) by reason of any mezzanine debt that existed at the origination of the related Mortgage Loan as set forth on Exhibit B-30-1, or future permitted mezzanine debt as set forth on Exhibit B-30-2 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 or any subordinate debt that existed at origination and is permitted under the related Mortgage Loan documents, (ii) purchase money security interests, (iii) any Crossed Mortgage Loan as set forth on Exhibit B-30-3 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 related Mortgagor is responsible for such payment along with all other reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Mortgagee relative to such transfer or encumbrance.

(32)Single-Purpose Entity. Each Mortgage Loan requires the related 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 related Mortgagor with respect to each Mortgage Loan with a Cut-off Date Stated Principal Balance in excess of $5 million provide that the Mortgagor is a Single-Purpose Entity, and each Mortgage Loan with a Cut-off Date Stated Principal 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 Stated Principal 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 Crossed Mortgage Loan), and that it holds itself out as a legal entity, separate and apart from any other person or entity.
(33)Defeasance. With respect to any Mortgage Loan that, pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan documents, can be defeased (a “Defeasance”), (i) such Mortgage Loan documents provide for Defeasance as a unilateral right of the related Mortgagor, subject to satisfaction of conditions specified in the related Mortgage Loan documents; (ii) the related Mortgage Loan cannot be defeased within two years after the Closing Date; (iii) the Mortgagor is permitted to pledge only United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii) of the Treasury Regulations, the revenues from which will, in the case of a full Defeasance, be sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the related Mortgage Loan when due, including the entire remaining principal

B-14

 

balance on the maturity date (or on or after the first date on which payment may be made without payment of a yield maintenance charge or prepayment premium) or, if the related Mortgage Loan is an ARD Loan, the entire principal balance outstanding on the Anticipated Repayment Date (or on or after the first date on which payment may be made without payment of a yield maintenance charge or prepayment premium), and if the related Mortgage Loan permits partial releases of real property in connection with partial Defeasance, the revenues from the collateral will be sufficient to pay all such scheduled payments calculated on a principal amount equal to a specified percentage at least equal to the lesser of (a) 110% of the allocated loan amount for the real property to be released and (b) the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan; (iv) the related 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 Mortgage Note as set forth in clause (iii) above; (v) if the related Mortgagor would continue to own assets in addition to the Defeasance collateral, the portion of the Mortgage Loan secured by defeasance collateral is required to be assumed (or the mortgagee may require such assumption) by a Single-Purpose Entity; (vi) the related 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 (vii) the related 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.

(34)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 any ARD Loan and situations where default interest is imposed.
(35)Ground Leases. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Ground Lease” shall mean a lease creating a leasehold estate in real property where the fee owner as the ground lessor conveys for a term or terms of years its entire interest in the land, or with respect to air rights leases, the air, and buildings and other improvements, if any, comprising the premises demised under such lease to the ground lessee (who may, in certain circumstances, own the building and improvements on the land), subject to the reversionary interest of the ground lessor as fee owner and does not include industrial development agency (IDA) or similar leases for purposes of conferring a tax abatement or other benefit.

With respect to any Mortgage Loan where the Mortgage Loan is secured by a leasehold estate under a Ground Lease in whole or in part, and the related Mortgage does not also encumber the related lessor’s fee interest in such Mortgaged Property, based upon the terms of the Ground Lease and any estoppel or other agreement received from the ground lessor in favor of the Seller, its successors and assigns, the Seller represents and warrants that:

(a)The Ground Lease or a memorandum regarding such Ground Lease has been duly recorded or submitted for recordation in a form that is acceptable for recording in the applicable jurisdiction. The Ground Lease

B-15

 

or an estoppel or other agreement received from the ground lessor permits the interest of the lessee to be encumbered by the related Mortgage and does not restrict the use of the related Mortgaged Property by such lessee, its successors or assigns in a manner that would materially adversely affect the security provided by the related Mortgage;

(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 or modified, or canceled or terminated by agreement of lessor and lessee, without the prior written consent of the lender, and no such consent has been granted by the Seller since the origination of the Mortgage Loan except as reflected in any written instruments which are included in the related Mortgage File;
(c)The Ground Lease has an original term (or an original term plus one or more optional renewal terms, which, under all circumstances, may be exercised, and will be enforceable, by either the Mortgagor or the mortgagee) that extends not less than 20 years beyond the stated maturity of the related Mortgage Loan, or 10 years past the stated maturity if such Mortgage Loan fully amortizes by the stated maturity (or with respect to a Mortgage Loan that accrues on an actual 360 basis, substantially amortizes);
(d)The Ground Lease either (i) is not subject to any 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, or (ii)  is subject to a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement to which the mortgagee on the lessor’s fee interest in the Mortgaged Property is subject;
(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 related 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 related Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns without the consent of the lessor;
(f)The Seller has not received any written notice of material default under or notice of termination of such Ground Lease. To the Seller’s knowledge, there is no material default under such Ground Lease and no condition that, but for the passage of time or giving of notice, would result in a material 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,

B-16

 

and provides that no notice of default or termination is effective against the lender unless such notice is given to the lender;

(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;
(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 (i) de minimis amounts for minor casualties or (ii) in respect of a total or substantially total loss or taking as addressed in clause (k) below) 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 related Mortgage Loan, together with any accrued interest;
(k)In the case of a total or substantially total 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 related 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.
(36)Servicing. The servicing and collection practices used by the Seller with respect to the Mortgage Loans have been, in all respects, legal and have met customary industry standards for servicing of commercial loans for conduit loan programs.
(37)Origination and Underwriting. The origination practices of the Seller (or the related originator if the Seller was not the originator) with respect to each Mortgage Loan have been, in all material respects, legal and as of the date of its origination, such Mortgage

B-17

 

Loan and the origination thereof complied in all material respects with, or was exempt from, all requirements of federal, state or local law relating to the origination of such Mortgage Loan; provided that such representation and warranty does not address or otherwise cover any matters with respect to federal, state or local law otherwise covered in this Exhibit B.

(38)No Material Default; Payment Record. 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 date hereof, no Mortgage Loan is more than 30 days delinquent (beyond any applicable grace or cure period) in making required payments as of the Closing Date. To the Seller’s knowledge, there is (a) 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, which default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, in the case of either clause (a) or clause (b), materially and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the value, use or operation of the related Mortgaged Property, 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 this Exhibit B. 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.
(39)Bankruptcy. As of the date of origination of the related Mortgage Loan and, to the Seller’s knowledge, as of the Cut-off Date, no related Mortgagor, guarantor or tenant occupying a single-tenant property is a debtor in state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding.
(40)Organization of Mortgagor. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, in reliance on certified copies of the organizational documents of the related Mortgagor delivered by such Mortgagor in connection with the origination of such Mortgage Loan, the Mortgagor is an entity organized under the laws of a state of the United States of America, the District of Columbia or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Except with respect to any Crossed Mortgage Loan, no Mortgage Loan has a Mortgagor that is an Affiliate of another Mortgagor under another Mortgage Loan. (An “Affiliate” for purposes of this paragraph (40) shall mean, a Mortgagor that is under direct or indirect common ownership and control with another Mortgagor.)
(41)Environmental Conditions. A Phase I environmental site assessment (or update of a previous Phase I and or Phase II site assessment) and, with respect to certain Mortgage Loans, a Phase II environmental site assessment (collectively, an “ESA”) meeting ASTM requirements conducted by a reputable environmental consultant in connection with such Mortgage Loan within 12 months prior to its origination date (or an update of a previous ESA was prepared), and such ESA either (i) did not identify the existence of recognized environmental conditions (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-05 or its successor, hereinafter “Environmental Condition”) at the related Mortgaged Property or the need for

B-18

 

further investigation with respect to any Environmental Condition that was identified, or (ii) if the existence of an Environmental Condition or need for further investigation was indicated in any such ESA, then at least one of the following statements is true: (A) an amount reasonably estimated by a reputable environmental consultant to be sufficient to cover the estimated cost to cure any material noncompliance with applicable environmental laws or the Environmental Condition has been escrowed by the related Mortgagor and is held or controlled by the related lender; (B) if the only Environmental Condition relates to the presence of asbestos-containing materials, radon in indoor air, lead based paint or lead in drinking water, and the only recommended action in the ESA is the institution of such a plan, an operations or maintenance plan has been required to be instituted by the related Mortgagor that can reasonably be expected to mitigate the identified risk; (C) the Environmental Condition identified in the related environmental report was remediated or abated in all material respects prior to the date hereof, and, if and as appropriate, a no further action or closure letter was obtained from the applicable governmental regulatory authority (or the Environmental Condition affecting the related Mortgaged Property was otherwise listed by such governmental authority as “closed” or a reputable environmental consultant has concluded that no further action is required); (D) a secured creditor environmental policy or a pollution legal liability insurance policy that covers liability for the Environmental Condition was obtained from an insurer rated no less than A- (or the equivalent) by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., S&P Global Ratings, acting through Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC and/or Fitch Ratings, Inc.; (E) a party not related to the Mortgagor was identified as the responsible party for such Environmental Condition and such responsible party has financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to address the situation; or (F) a party related to the Mortgagor having financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to address the situation is required to take action. To the Seller’s knowledge, except as set forth in the ESA, there is no Environmental Condition (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-05 or its successor) at the related Mortgaged Property.

(42)Appraisal. The Servicing File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property with an appraisal date within 6 months of the Mortgage Loan origination date, and within 12 months of the Closing Date. The appraisal is signed by an appraiser who is either a Member of the Appraisal Institute (“MAI”) and/or has been licensed and certified to prepare appraisals in the state where the Mortgaged Property is located. Each appraiser has represented in such appraisal or in a supplemental letter that the appraisal satisfies the requirements of the “Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice” as adopted by the Appraisal Standards Board of the Appraisal Foundation and has certified that such appraiser had no interest, direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged Property or the Mortgagor or in any loan made on the security thereof, and its compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan.
(43)Mortgage Loan Schedule. The information pertaining to each Mortgage Loan which is set forth in the mortgage loan schedule attached as Exhibit A to this Agreement is true and correct in all material respects as of the Cut-off Date and contains all information required by this Agreement to be contained therein.

B-19

 

(44)Cross-Collateralization. No Mortgage Loan is cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted with any mortgage loan that is outside the Trust, except (i) with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, any other mortgage loan that is part of such Whole Loan and (ii) with respect to any Crossed Mortgage Loan, any mortgage loan that is part of a Whole Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with such Mortgage Loan or with a Whole Loan of which such Mortgage Loan is a part.
(45)Advance of Funds by the Seller. After origination, no advance of funds has been made by the Seller to the related Mortgagor other than in accordance with the Mortgage Loan documents, and, to the Seller’s knowledge, no funds have been received from any person other than the related Mortgagor or an affiliate for, or on account of, payments due on the Mortgage Loan (other than as contemplated by the Mortgage Loan documents, such as, by way of example and not in limitation of the foregoing, amounts paid by the tenant(s) into a lender-controlled lockbox if required or contemplated under the related lease or the Mortgage Loan documents). Neither the Seller nor any affiliate thereof has any obligation to make any capital contribution to any Mortgagor under a Mortgage Loan, other than contributions made on or prior to the date hereof.
(46)Compliance with Anti-Money Laundering Laws. The Seller has complied in all material respects with all applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including without limitation the USA Patriot Act of 2001 with respect to the origination of the Mortgage Loan, the failure to comply with which would have a material adverse effect on the Mortgage Loan.

For purposes of these representations and warranties, the phrases “the Seller’s knowledge” or “the Seller’s belief” and other words and phrases of like import shall mean, except where otherwise expressly set forth herein, the actual state of knowledge or belief of the Seller, its officers and employees directly responsible for the underwriting, origination, servicing or sale of the Mortgage Loans regarding the matters expressly set forth herein.

(Loan No. 3)
According to the related engineering report, the 333 45th Street Mortgaged Property, located in Munster, Indiana, requires certain repairs to the building exterior with an estimated cost of $60,750, which repair amount was not reserved for. The Mortgage Loan documents require the Borrower to cause the Mortgaged Property to be maintained in a good and safe condition and repair, to promptly repair, replace or rebuild any part of the Mortgaged Property that becomes damaged, worn or dilapidated (ordinary wear and tear consistent with the operation of a first-class office building excepted) and to complete and pay for any improvements at any time in the process of construction or repair.

The carrier for the property insurance policy, general liability insurance policy and liquor liability insurance policy as of the loan origination date is California Mutual, which has a rating of "AV" with AM Best.

(25) Local Law Compliance Lukas Wine and Spirits
(Loan No. 45)
The Mortgaged Property is legal conforming as to its retail use.  The specific use by the current sole tenant, Lukas Wine & Spirits, as a liquor store, which is a permitted retail use in the zoning district, is subject to certain restrictions on that permitted use based upon the proximity of the Mortgaged Property to a nearby church property, which restrictions require liquor stores to be at least 200 feet from the property line of any church. Since the Lukas Wine & Spirits liquor store is located more than 200 feet from the nearest building on the nearby church property the use as a liquor store was approved via the site plan.  The applicable zoning code provides that, if a structure located on a lot where a nonconforming situation exists is damaged to an extent that the costs of repair or restoration would exceed 50% of its fair market value, then such structure may be repaired or restored only in accordance with a nonconforming situation permit. In case of such damage, the Mortgaged Property itself could be rebuilt, however, the use as a liquor store would need to be re-approved.
(25) Local Law Compliance Cambria Beach Lodge
(Loan No. 52)
The Mortgaged Property is legal non-conforming as to use since the Mortgaged Property is missing a use permit and development approval that is required for hotels under the applicable zoning ordinance. In the event of a casualty of 75% or more of the replacement cost of the total structure, the Mortgaged Property cannot be re-built to its current use under the applicable zoning ordinance unless a use permit and development approval are obtained and the Mortgaged Property is brought into compliance with the zoning ordinance.

The obligations of the non-recourse carveout guarantor with respect to voluntary bankruptcy events are capped at 20% of the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan as of the date of the applicable bankruptcy event, plus all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred by the lender in the enforcement of, or the preservation of the lender’s rights under, the non-recourse carveout guaranty.

Only the related Borrower, and not the non-recourse carveout guarantor, is liable for item (a) (iv) (i.e. breaches of environmental covenants), and the Borrower is the only party liable under the environmental indemnity; provided, however, that if the Borrower fails to maintain an environmental insurance policy as required under the Mortgage Loan documents, the non-recourse carveout guarantor is liable for losses relating to breaches of environmental covenants other than for any amounts in excess of the applicable coverage amounts under the environmental policy had the same been renewed, replaced or extended as required under the loan agreement.

Recourse for waste is limited to willful misconduct by the Borrower, guarantor or certain of their affiliates that results in physical damage or physical waste to the Mortgaged Property.

The value of the Release Parcels was not excluded from the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES REGARDING THE TRUST SUBORDINATE COMPANION LOAN AND THE related Mortgaged Properties

The Seller represents and warrants to the Purchaser, as of the Closing Date, as to itself with respect to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and each related Mortgaged Property, that:

(1)               Immediately prior to the sale of the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan to the Depositor, the Seller was the lawful owner and holder of the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan with the right to transfer the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, and the Seller will transfer the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan to the Depositor subject to no lien, adverse claim, mortgage, security interest, pledge, charge, participation or other encumbrance created by the Seller.

(2)               Except as set forth in the Mortgage File delivered by the Seller under the Mortgaged Loan Purchase Agreement, the loan documents have not been modified since the origination of the related Whole Loan and no portion of any related Mortgaged Property has been released from the lien of the related Mortgage.

(3)               The Trust Subordinate Companion Loan constitutes a whole loan and not a participation interest or certificate.

(4)               (A) There is no material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the related loan agreement, the related note(s) or the Mortgage in respect of any payment due and owing the Seller from the related Starwood Borrower; (B) to the Actual Knowledge of the Seller, there is no other material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the related loan agreement, the related note(s) or the Mortgage nor is there any event that, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute such a material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration under the related loan agreement, the related note(s) or the Mortgage; and (C) the Seller has not waived any material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration under the related loan agreement, the related note(s) or the Mortgage.

(5)               The Trust Subordinate Companion Loan is a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code (but without regard to the rule in Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that treats certain defective mortgage loans as qualified mortgages), which means that the gross proceeds of the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan at origination did not exceed the non-contingent principal amount of the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and either: (a) the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan is secured by an interest in real property (including for this purpose, land and buildings, but excluding personal property and going concern value, if any) having a fair market value (reduced for any lien senior to and any lien in parity with the lien of the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan) (i) at the date the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan was originated at least equal to 80% of the original principal balance of the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan or (ii) at the Closing Date at least equal to 80% of the original principal balance of the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan on such date; or

G-1

 

(b) substantially all the proceeds of the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan were used to acquire, improve or protect the real property which served as the only security for the Trust Subordinate Companion 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 Trust Subordinate Companion 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 the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan or (y) satisfies the provisions of either sub-clause (a)(i) above (substituting the date of the last such modification for the date the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan was originated) or sub-clause (a)(ii). Any prepayment premium and yield maintenance charges applicable to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan constitute “customary prepayment penalties” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(2).

(6)               In the event of a taking of any portion of the related Mortgaged Property by any governmental authority (including any court, board, agency, commission, office or other authority of any nature whatsoever for any governmental unit (foreign, federal, state, county, district, municipal, city or otherwise)), whether by legal proceeding or by agreement, and immediately after giving effect to the release of any portion of the lien of the related Mortgage in connection with such taking (but taking into account any proposed restoration on the remaining portion of the Mortgaged Property), the loan-to-value ratio is greater than 125% (taking into account only land and buildings, and excluding personal property and going concern value, if any), the related Starwood Borrower shall pay down the principal balance of the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan by an amount not less than the least of one of the following amounts: (i) the condemnation award (less reasonable costs and expenses in collecting such award), (ii) the fair market value of the released portion of the Mortgaged Property (taking into account only land and buildings, and excluding personal property and going concern value, if any) at the time of the release or (iii) an amount such that the loan-to-value ratio (as so determined) after the release is not greater than the loan-to-value ratio (as so determined) of all of the Mortgaged Property immediately prior to the release, unless the lender receives an opinion of counsel that if such amount is not paid, the Trust will not fail to maintain its status as a REMIC as a result of the release of the applicable portion of the Mortgaged Property.

(7)               The related Whole Loan provides that defeasance may not occur any earlier than two years after the Closing Date, and further requires or provides that: (i) the replacement collateral consists of U.S. “government securities,” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G 2(a)(8)(ii), in an amount sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan when due (up to the date on which the Starwood Borrower may prepay the related Whole Loan without payment of any prepayment penalty); (ii) the related Whole Loan may be assumed by a single purpose entity approved by the holder of the related Whole Loan; (iii) counsel provide an opinion that the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders has a perfected security interest in the collateral prior to any other claim or interest; and (iv) the Starwood Borrower is required to deliver, or cause delivery of, such other documents and certifications as the mortgagee may reasonably require which may include, without limitation, (A) a certification that the purpose of the defeasance is to facilitate the disposition of the mortgaged real property or any other customary commercial transaction and not to be part of an arrangement to collateralize a REMIC offering with obligations that are not real estate mortgages and (B) a certification from an independent certified public accountant that

G-2

 

the collateral is sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the notes through and including the date on which the Starwood Borrower may prepay the related Whole Loan without payment of any prepayment penalty when due. The related Whole Loan provides that, in addition to any cost associated with defeasance, the Starwood Borrower is required to pay, as of the date the mortgage collateral is defeased, all scheduled and accrued interest and principal due as well as an amount sufficient to defease in full the related Whole Loan. In addition, the loan documents provide that the Starwood Borrower will pay all reasonable fees associated with the defeasance of the related Whole Loan and all other reasonable expenses associated with the defeasance.

Actual Knowledge” shall mean the actual knowledge of any employee of the Seller involved in the acquisition, administration, servicing and/or sale to the Depositor of the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan.
