Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of February 1, 2015, among Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor, Citibank, N.A., as Certificate Administrator, and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee.


 


PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:




 


(Terms used but not defined in this Preliminary


Statement shall have the meanings


specified in Article I hereof)


 


The Depositor intends to sell pass-through certificates to be issued hereunder in multiple classes which in the aggregate will evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund consisting primarily of the Mortgage Loans. As provided herein, the Certificate Administrator will elect that two segregated portions of the Trust Fund (other than the Class A-S Specific Grantor Trust Assets, the Class B Specific Grantor Trust Assets, the Excess Interest Grantor Trust Assets, the Class C Specific Grantor Trust Assets, the Class PEZ Specific Grantor Trust Assets and the proceeds of the foregoing) be treated for federal income tax purposes as two separate REMICs (designated as the “Upper-Tier REMIC” and the “Lower-Tier REMIC”, respectively). The Regular Certificates and the Class PEZ Regular Interests will represent “regular interests” in the Upper-Tier REMIC, and the Upper-Tier Residual Interest will be the sole class of “residual interests” in the Upper-Tier REMIC.


 


There are also (i) 14 classes of uncertificated Lower-Tier Regular Interests issued under this Agreement (designated as the Class LA-1, Class LA-2, Class LA-3, Class LA-4, Class LA-5, Class LA-AB, Class LA-S, Class LB, Class LC, Class LD, Class LE, Class LF, Class LG and Class LH Interests), each of which will constitute a class of “regular interests” in the Lower-Tier REMIC, and (ii) the Lower-Tier Residual Interest, which will be the sole class of “residual interests” in the Lower-Tier REMIC.


 


The Lower-Tier Regular Interests will be held by the Trustee as assets of the Upper-Tier REMIC. The Class R Certificates will represent both the Lower-Tier Residual Interest and the Upper-Tier Residual Interest.

Combination) as of the last day of the related Collection Period over (b) the excess of (i) the sum of (A) 90% of the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property or Properties (as determined by one or more Appraisals obtained by the Special Servicer (the cost of which shall be advanced by the Master Servicer as a Property Advance unless such Property Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance)), minus such downward adjustments as the Special Servicer may make in accordance with the Servicing Standard (without implying any obligation to do so) based upon the Special Servicer’s review of the Appraisal and such other information as the Special Servicer may deem appropriate and (B) all escrows, letters of credit and reserves in respect of such Serviced Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Loan Combination) as of the date of the calculation over (ii) the sum, as of the Due Date occurring in the month of the date of determination, of (A) to the extent not previously advanced by the Master Servicer or the Trustee, all unpaid interest on such Serviced Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Loan Combination) at a per annum rate equal to its Mortgage Rate (and with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination, interest on the related Serviced Companion Loan(s) at the related Mortgage Rate), (B) all unreimbursed Advances (which shall include, without limitation, (1) any Advances as to which the advancing party was reimbursed from a source other than the related Mortgagor and (2) any Unliquidated Advances), with interest thereon at the Advance Rate in respect of such Serviced Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Loan Combination) and (C) all currently due and unpaid real estate taxes and assessments, insurance premiums and ground rents, unpaid Special Servicing Fees and all other amounts, due and unpaid with respect to such Serviced Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Loan Combination) (which taxes, premiums, ground rents and other amounts have not been the subject of an Advance by the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, and/or for which funds have not been escrowed). Promptly upon the occurrence of an Appraisal Reduction Event (or a longer period so long as the Special Servicer is (as certified thereby to the Trustee in writing) diligently and in good faith proceeding to obtain such), if an Appraisal has not been obtained within the immediately preceding nine (9) months (or if the Special Servicer has determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard such Appraisal to be materially inaccurate), the Special Servicer shall obtain an Appraisal, the costs of which shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Property Advance (or as an expense of the Trust Fund and paid by the Master Servicer out of the Collection Account if such Property Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance). The Master Servicer shall provide (via electronic delivery) the Special Servicer with information in its possession that is reasonably required to calculate or recalculate any Appraisal Reduction Amount pursuant to the definition thereof using reasonable efforts to deliver such information within four (4) Business Days of the Special Servicer’s reasonable written request. None of the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall calculate or verify Appraisal Reduction Amounts. On the first Determination Date occurring on or after the delivery of such Appraisal, the Special Servicer shall calculate or adjust, as applicable, the Appraisal Reduction Amount to take into account such Appraisal and such information, if any, reasonably requested by the Special Servicer from the Master Servicer reasonably required to calculate or recalculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Appraisal is required to be obtained in accordance with Section 3.10(a) of this Agreement but is not obtained within 120 days following the events described in the applicable clause of the definition “Appraisal Reduction Event” (without regard to the time periods stated therein), then, until such Appraisal is obtained and solely for purposes of determining the amounts of P&I Advances, the Appraisal Reduction Amount for or allocable to the related Serviced Mortgage Loan will equal 25% of the Stated Principal Balance of such

related Serviced Mortgage Loan; provided that, upon receipt of an Appraisal, however, the Appraisal Reduction Amount for such Serviced Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Loan Combination) will be recalculated in accordance with this definition without regard to this sentence. With respect to each Serviced Loan as to which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred (unless the Serviced Loan has become a Corrected Loan (if a Servicing Transfer Event had occurred with respect to the related Serviced Loan) and has remained current for three consecutive Monthly Payments, and with respect to which no other Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred during the preceding three months), the Special Servicer shall, within 30 days of each anniversary of such Appraisal Reduction Event, order an Appraisal (which may be an update of the prior Appraisal) (the cost of which will be covered by, and reimbursable as, a Property Advance by the Master Servicer or as an expense of the Trust Fund and paid by the Master Servicer out of the Collection Account if such Property Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance), provided, however, no new or updated Appraisal will be required if the Serviced Loan or REO Property is under contract to be sold within 90 days of such Appraisal Reduction Event or anniversary thereof and the Special Servicer reasonably believes such sale is likely to close. Based upon such Appraisal or letter updates thereto, the Special Servicer shall determine and report to the Master Servicer and the Certificate Administrator the Appraisal Reduction Amount, if any, with respect to such Serviced Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Loan Combination), and each of those parties shall be entitled to rely conclusively on such determination by the Special Servicer. The Special Servicer shall deliver a copy of any such Appraisal to the Master Servicer and the Certificate Administrator, which shall be in electronic format. Each Appraisal Reduction Amount shall also be adjusted with respect to the next Distribution Date to take into account any subsequent Appraisal and annual letter updates, as of the date of each such subsequent Appraisal or letter update.


 


Upon payment in full or liquidation of any Serviced Loan for which an Appraisal Reduction Amount has been determined, such Appraisal Reduction Amount will be eliminated. In addition, with respect to any Serviced Loan, as to which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred, such Serviced Loan shall no longer be subject to the Appraisal Reduction Amount if (a) such Serviced Loan has become a Corrected Loan (if a Servicing Transfer Event had occurred with respect to the related Serviced Loan) and such Serviced Loan becomes and remains current for three consecutive Monthly Payments and (b) no other Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred and is continuing.


 


Appraisal Reduction Amounts with respect to each Serviced Loan Combination shall be allocated, first, to any related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan (up to the outstanding principal balance thereof), and then, to the related Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s) on a pro rata and pari passu basis in accordance with the respective outstanding principal balances of such Serviced Mortgage Loan and the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan.


 


Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to each Outside Serviced Trust Loan, the Appraisal Reduction Amount shall be the portion of any “Appraisal Reduction Amount” relating to such Outside Serviced Loan Combination, that is calculated pursuant to the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the related Outside Special Servicer or related Outside Servicer, as applicable, and that is allocable to such Outside Serviced Trust Loan pursuant to such Outside Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the related Co-Lender

Agreement. The parties hereto shall be entitled to rely on such calculations as reported to them by the related Outside Servicer. By their acceptance of their Certificates, the Certificateholders shall be deemed to have acknowledged that the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and the related Co-Lender Agreement taken together, provide that any such “Appraisal Reduction Amount” will be calculated under the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the applicable party thereto.


 


“Appraisal Reduction Event”: With respect to any Serviced Loan, the earliest of (i) the date on which such Serviced Loan becomes a Modified Asset, (ii) the date on which such Serviced Loan is 60 days or more delinquent in respect of any Monthly Payment, except for a Balloon Payment, (iii) in the case of a delinquent Balloon Payment, (A) the date occurring 60 days after the date on which such Balloon Payment was due (except as described in clause B below) or (B) if the related Mortgagor has delivered to the Master Servicer (who shall promptly deliver a copy thereof to the Special Servicer) or the Special Servicer (who shall promptly deliver a copy thereof to the Master Servicer) a refinancing commitment acceptable to the Special Servicer prior to the date 60 days after the Balloon Payment was due, the date occurring 120 days after the date on which the Balloon Payment was due (or such shorter period beyond the date on which that Balloon Payment was due during which the refinancing is scheduled to occur), (iv) the date on which the related Mortgaged Property has become an REO Property, (v) a receiver or similar official is appointed and continues for 60 days in such capacity in respect of the related Mortgaged Property, (vi) 60 days after the related Mortgagor is subject to a bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceedings, which, in the case of an involuntary bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding, is not dismissed within those 60 days, or (vii) the date on which such Serviced Loan remains outstanding five (5) years following any extension of its maturity date pursuant to Section 3.24 of this Agreement.

If the Serviced Companion Loan that is included in a Serviced Loan Combination becomes a Specially Serviced Loan, then the related Serviced Mortgage Loan that is part of such Serviced Loan Combination shall also become a Specially Serviced Loan.

(a)           The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, does hereby establish a trust to be designated as Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Trust 2015-GC27, appoint the Trustee to serve as trustee of such trust and assign, sell, transfer, set over and otherwise convey to the Trustee (as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests) in trust without recourse for the benefit of the Certificateholders all the right, title and interest of the Depositor, including any security interest therein for the benefit of the Depositor, in, to and under (i) the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, (ii) Sections 2, 3, 4, 5 (other than Section 5(e) and 5(f)), 6 (other than Section 6(i)), (and to the extent related to the foregoing) 7, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18 and 23 of each Loan Purchase Agreement, (iii) the RTI Guaranty and the RFT Guaranty, (iv) each Co-Lender Agreement, if any, and (v) all Escrow Accounts, Lock-Box Accounts and all other assets included or to be included in the Trust Fund for the benefit of the Certificateholders. Such assignment includes all interest and principal received or receivable on or with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than payments of principal, interest and other amounts due and payable on the Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-Off Date and excluding any Loan Seller Defeasance Rights and Obligations with respect to the Mortgage Loans). Such assignment of any Outside Serviced Trust Loan is further subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the related Co-Lender Agreement. On the Closing Date, the Depositor shall make a cash deposit into the Distribution Account in an amount equal to the aggregate Interest Deposit Amount with respect to all of the Mortgage Loans that accrue interest on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days during each one-month interest accrual period. The transfer of the Mortgage Loans and the related rights and property accomplished hereby is absolute and, notwithstanding Section 11.08 of this Agreement, is intended by the parties to constitute a sale.


 


(b)           In connection with the Depositor’s assignment pursuant to Section 2.01(a) of this Agreement, the Depositor shall direct each Mortgage Loan Seller (pursuant to the related Loan Purchase Agreement) to deliver to and deposit with the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee), on or before the Closing Date, the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan, with copies (other than with respect to an Outside Serviced Trust Loan) to be delivered, within five (5)

Business Days after the Closing Date, to the Master Servicer; provided, however, that copies of any document in the Mortgage File that also constitutes a Designated Servicing Document shall be delivered to the Master Servicer (other than with respect to an Outside Serviced Trust Loan) on or before the Closing Date. None of the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be liable for any failure by any Mortgage Loan Seller or the Depositor to comply with the document delivery requirements of the related Loan Purchase Agreement and this Section 2.01(b). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to letters of credit (exclusive of those relating to an Outside Serviced Trust Loan), the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver to the Master Servicer and the Master Servicer shall hold the original (or copy, if such original has been submitted by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller to the issuing bank to effect an assignment or amendment of such letter of credit (changing the beneficiary thereof to the Trustee (in care of the Master Servicer) for the benefit of Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder that may be required in order for the Master Servicer to draw on such letter of credit on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder in accordance with the applicable terms thereof and/or of the related Loan Documents)) and the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall be deemed to have satisfied any delivery requirements of the related Loan Purchase Agreement and this Section 2.01(b) by delivering with respect to any letter(s) of credit a copy thereof to the Custodian together with an Officer’s Certificate of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller certifying that such document has been delivered to the Master Servicer or an Officer’s Certificate from the Master Servicer certifying that it holds the letter(s) of credit pursuant to this Section 2.01(b). If a letter of credit referred to in the previous sentence is not in a form that would allow the Master Servicer to draw on such letter of credit on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder in accordance with the applicable terms thereof and/or of the related Loan Documents, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver the appropriate assignment or amendment documents (or copies of such assignment or amendment documents if the related Mortgage Loan Seller has submitted the originals to the related issuer of such letter of credit for processing) to the Master Servicer within 90 days of the Closing Date. The applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall pay any costs of assignment or amendment of such letter(s) of credit required in order for the Master Servicer to draw on such letter(s) of credit on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder and shall cooperate with the reasonable requests of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in connection with effectuating a draw under any such letter of credit prior to the date such letter of credit is assigned or amended in order that it may be drawn by the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder.




 


With respect to any Mortgage Loan secured by a Mortgaged Property that is subject to a franchise agreement with a related comfort letter in favor of the related Mortgage Loan Seller that requires notice to or request of the related franchisor to transfer or assign any related comfort letter to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders or have a new comfort letter (or any such new document or acknowledgement as may be contemplated under the existing comfort letter) issued in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, the related Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee shall, within 45 days of the Closing Date (or any shorter period if required by the applicable comfort letter), provide any such required notice or make any such required request to the related franchisor for the transfer


 




  





-116-

After the Depositor’s transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee pursuant to this Section 2.01(b), the Depositor shall not take any action inconsistent with the Trust’s ownership of the Mortgage Loans.


 


(c)           The Depositor hereby represents and warrants that each Mortgage Loan Seller has covenanted in the applicable Loan Purchase Agreement that it shall record and file, or cause a third party on its behalf to record and file, at the related Mortgage Loan Seller’s expense, in the appropriate public office for real property records or UCC financing statements, as appropriate, each related assignment of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of Leases, in favor of the Trustee referred to in clause (4) of the definition of “Mortgage File” and each related UCC-2 and UCC-3 assignment referred to in clause (15) of the definition of “Mortgage File”. This subsection (c) shall not apply to any Outside Serviced Trust Loan because the documents referred to herein have been assigned to the related Outside Trustee.


 


The Depositor hereby represents and warrants that the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller has covenanted in the related Loan Purchase Agreement as to each Mortgage Loan (exclusive of any Outside Serviced Trust Loan), that if it cannot deliver or cause to be delivered the documents and/or instruments referred to in clauses (2), (3) and (6) (if recorded) and (15) of the definition of “Mortgage File” 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, a copy of the original certified by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller to be a true and complete copy of the original thereof submitted for recording, shall be forwarded to the Custodian. Each assignment referred to in the prior paragraph that is recorded and the file copy of each UCC-2 and UCC-3 assignment referred to in the previous paragraph shall reflect that it should be returned by the public recording or filing office to the Custodian or its agent following recording (or, alternatively, to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee, in which case the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver or cause the delivery of the recorded/filed original to the Custodian promptly following receipt); provided that, in those instances where the public recording office retains the original assignment of Mortgage or assignment of Assignment of Leases, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee shall obtain and provide to the Custodian a certified copy of the recorded original. On a monthly basis, at the expense of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, the Custodian shall forward to the Master Servicer a copy of each of the aforementioned assignments following the Custodian’s receipt thereof.


 


If the Custodian has received written notice that any of the aforementioned assignments is lost or returned unrecorded or unfiled, as the case may be, because of a defect


 




  





-117-











  




 


therein, then the Custodian shall direct the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (pursuant to the Loan Purchase Agreement) promptly to prepare or cause the preparation of a substitute therefor or to cure such defect, as the case may be, and record or file, or with respect to any assignments the Custodian has agreed to file as described above, to deliver to the Custodian the substitute or corrected document. The Custodian shall upon receipt from the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller cause the same to be duly recorded or filed, as appropriate.




 


(d)           In connection with the Depositor’s assignment pursuant to Section 2.01(a) of this Agreement, except with respect to the Outside Serviced Trust Loans, the Depositor shall direct the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (pursuant to the related Loan Purchase Agreement) to deliver to and deposit (or cause to be delivered and deposited) with the Master Servicer within five (5) Business Days after the Closing Date, (i) all documents and records not otherwise required to be contained in the Mortgage File that (A) relate to the origination and/or servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans or any related Serviced Companion Loans, (B) are reasonably necessary for the ongoing administration and/or servicing of the Mortgage Loans (including any asset summaries related to the Mortgage Loans that were delivered to the Rating Agencies in connection with the rating of the Certificates) or any related Serviced Companion Loans or for evidencing or enforcing any of the rights of the holder of the Mortgage Loans or any related Serviced Companion Loans or holders of interests therein and (C) are in possession or under control of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, together with (ii) all unapplied Escrow Payments and reserve funds in the possession of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller that relate to such Mortgage Loans and a statement indicating which Escrow Payments and reserve funds are allocable to each Mortgage Loan or any related Serviced Companion Loans, provided that any document, record or item referred to above in clause (i) of this sentence that constitutes a Designated Servicing Document shall be delivered to the Master Servicer on or before the Closing Date; and provided, further, that the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be required to deliver any draft documents, privileged or other related Mortgage Loan Seller communications, credit underwriting, due diligence analyses or data, or internal worksheets, memoranda, communications or evaluations. The Master Servicer shall hold all such documents, records and funds on behalf of the Trustee in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders (and, insofar as they also relate to the Serviced Companion Loan, on behalf of and for the benefit of the applicable Serviced Companion Loan Holder). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.02(d) shall not apply to the Outside Serviced Trust Loans. In addition, attached as Exhibit P to this Agreement is the Supplemental Servicer Schedule.


 


(e)           In connection with the Depositor’s assignment pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Depositor shall deliver, and hereby represents and warrants that it has delivered, to the Custodian and the Master Servicer, on or before the Closing Date, a fully executed original counterpart of each Loan Purchase Agreement, as in full force and effect, without amendment or modification, on the Closing Date.


 


(f)           The Custodian with respect to the Serviced Loan Combination, shall also hold the related Mortgage File for the use and benefit of the Serviced Companion Loan Holders.


 


(g)          The parties to this Agreement acknowledge and agree, with respect to the Outside Serviced Trust Loans, that the Trust assumes the obligations and rights of the holder of

each Outside Serviced Trust Loan under the respective Co-Lender Agreement and/or Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement.




 


(h)           It is not intended that this Agreement create a partnership or a joint-stock association.


 


Section 2.02     Acceptance by the Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator.


 


(a)           The Trustee, by its execution and delivery of this Agreement, hereby accepts receipt, directly or through the Custodian on its behalf, of (i) the Mortgage Loans and all documents delivered to it that constitute portions of the related Mortgage Files and (ii) all other assets delivered to it and included in the Trust Fund, in good faith and without notice of any adverse claim, and declares that it or the Custodian on its behalf holds and will hold such documents and any other documents subsequently received by it that constitute portions of the Mortgage Files, and that the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee holds and will hold the Mortgage Loans and such other assets, together with any other assets subsequently delivered to it that are to be included in the Trust Fund, in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders and, if applicable, the Serviced Companion Loan Holders pursuant to Section 2.01(f) of this Agreement. With respect to each Serviced Loan Combination, the Custodian shall also hold the portion of such Mortgage File that relates to the Serviced Companion Loan in such Loan Combination in trust for the use and benefit of the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder. In connection with the foregoing, the Custodian hereby certifies to each of the other parties hereto, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, each Underwriter and each Initial Purchaser that, as to each Mortgage Loan, (i) all documents specified in clause (1) of the definition of “Mortgage File” are in its possession, and (ii) the original Note (or, if accompanied by a lost note affidavit, the copy of such Note) received by it with respect to such Mortgage Loan has been reviewed by it and (A) appears regular on its face (handwritten additions, changes or corrections shall not constitute irregularities if initialed by the Mortgagor), (B) appears to have been executed (where appropriate) and (C) purports to relate to such Mortgage Loan.


 


(b)           On or about the 60th day following the Closing Date (and, if any exceptions are noted, again on or about the 90th day following the Closing Date and monthly thereafter until the earliest of (i) the second anniversary of the Closing Date, (ii) the day on which all exceptions have been removed and (iii) the day on which the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller has repurchased or substituted for the last affected Mortgage Loan), the Custodian shall review the documents delivered to it with respect to each Mortgage Loan, and the Custodian shall, subject to Sections 2.01(c), 2.02(c) and 2.02(d) of this Agreement and the terms of the respective Loan Purchase Agreements, certify in writing (substantially in the form of Exhibit N to this Agreement) to each of the other parties hereto, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, each Underwriter and each Initial Purchaser (and upon request, in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, to the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder) that, as to each Mortgage Loan then subject to this Agreement (except as specifically identified in any exception report annexed to such certification, which exception report shall also be available in electronic format (including Excel-compatible format) upon request): (i) all documents specified in clauses (1), (2), (3), (4) (other than with respect to an Outside Serviced Trust Loan), (5), (7), (15) and (20)


 




  





-119-











  




 


(for any Mortgage Loan that is part of a Loan Combination) of the definition of “Mortgage File” are in its possession or the related Mortgage Loan Seller has otherwise satisfied the delivery requirements in accordance with the related Loan Purchase Agreement; (ii) the recordation/filing contemplated by Section 2.01(c) of this Agreement has been completed (based solely on receipt by the Custodian of the particular recorded/filed documents); (iii) all documents received by the Custodian with respect to such Mortgage Loan have been reviewed by the Custodian and (A) appear regular on their face (handwritten additions, changes or corrections shall not constitute irregularities if initialed by the Mortgagor), (B) appear to have been executed (where appropriate) and (C) purport to relate to such Mortgage Loan; and (iv) based on the examinations referred to in Section 2.02(a) of this Agreement and this Section 2.02(b) and only as to the foregoing documents (together with any Loan Agreement that has been delivered by the related Mortgage Loan Seller), the information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule with respect to the items specified in clauses (iv) and (v)(B) of the definition of “Mortgage Loan Schedule” accurately reflects the information set forth in the Mortgage File. With respect to the items listed in clauses (2), (3), (4) and (6) of the definition of “Mortgage File” if the original of such document is not in the Custodian’s possession because it has not been returned from the applicable recording office, then the Custodian’s certification prepared pursuant to this Section 2.02(b) should indicate the absence of such original. In addition, as it relates to the Outside Serviced Trust Loans, with respect to the items listed in clauses (2), (3), (4) and (6) of the definition of “Mortgage File” because the original of such document will not be in the Custodian’s possession since it will have been delivered to the Outside Trustee in accordance with the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Custodian’s certification prepared pursuant to this Section 2.02(b) should indicate the absence of such original. If the Custodian’s obligation to deliver the certifications contemplated in this subsection terminates because two years have elapsed since the Closing Date, the Custodian shall deliver a comparable certification to any party hereto, the Serviced Companion Loan Holder and any Underwriter and any Initial Purchaser on request.




 


(c)           It is acknowledged that none of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian is under any duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine any of the documents, instruments, certificates or other papers relating to the Loans delivered to it to determine that the same are valid, legal, effective, genuine, binding, enforceable, sufficient or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face. Furthermore, none of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian shall have any responsibility for determining whether the text of any assignment or endorsement is in proper or recordable form, whether the requisite recording of any document is in accordance with the requirements of any applicable jurisdiction, or whether a blanket assignment is permitted in any applicable jurisdiction.


 


(d)          It is understood that the scope of the Custodian’s review of the Mortgage Files is limited solely to confirming that the documents specified in clauses (1), (2), (3), (4) (other than with respect to an Outside Serviced Trust Loan), (5), (7), (15) and (20) (for any Mortgage Loan that is part of a Loan Combination) of the definition of “Mortgage File” have been received, appear regular on their face and such additional information as will be necessary for delivering the certifications required by Sections 2.02(a) and 2.02(b) of this Agreement.

(e)           If, after the Closing Date, the Depositor comes into possession of any documents or records that constitute part of the Mortgage File or Servicing File for any Mortgage Loan, the Depositor shall promptly deliver such document to the Custodian with a copy to the Master Servicer (if it constitutes part of the Servicing File).


 


Section 2.03     Mortgage Loan Sellers’ Repurchase, Substitution or Cures of Mortgage Loans for Document Defects in Mortgage Files and Breaches of Representations and Warranties.


 


(a)           If (i) any party hereto (A) discovers or receives notice alleging that any document constituting a part of a Mortgage File has not been properly executed, is missing, contains information that does not conform in any material respect with the corresponding information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, or does not appear to be regular on its face (each, a “Document Defect”) or (B) discovers or receives notice alleging a breach of any representation or warranty of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller made pursuant to Section 6(c) of the related Loan Purchase Agreement with respect to any Mortgage Loan (a “Breach”) or (ii) the Special Servicer or the Depositor receives a Repurchase Communication of a request or demand for repurchase or replacement of any Mortgage Loan alleging a Document Defect or Breach (any such request or demand, a “Repurchase Request”), then such Person shall give prompt written notice thereof to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event), the other parties hereto, any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder (if applicable) and, for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 11.13 of this Agreement, the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider (to the extent notice has not previously been delivered to such Persons pursuant to this sentence). If any such Document Defect or Breach materially and adversely affects, or any such Document Defect is deemed in accordance with Section 2.03(b) of this Agreement to materially and adversely affect, the value of the related Mortgage Loan (or any related REO Property) or the interests of the Certificateholders therein or causes any Mortgage Loan to fail to be a Qualified Mortgage, then such Document Defect shall constitute a “Material Document Defect” or such Breach shall constitute a “Material Breach”, as the case may be. The Special Servicer shall determine, with respect to any affected Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, whether a Document Defect is a Material Document Defect or a Breach is a Material Breach. If such Document Defect or Breach has been determined to be a Material Document Defect or Material Breach, then the Special Servicer shall give prompt written notice thereof to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, the other parties hereto and the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event). Promptly upon becoming aware of any Material Document Defect or Material Breach, the Special Servicer shall require the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (and, (i) in the case of the Mortgage Loans sold to the Depositor by RCMC, with simultaneous notice to RTI, as guarantor of certain of RCMC’s obligations under the RCMC Loan Purchase Agreement, pursuant to the RTI Guaranty, and, (ii) in the case of the Mortgage Loans sold to the Depositor by RAIT, with simultaneous notice to RFT, as guarantor of certain of RAIT’s obligations under the RAIT Loan Purchase Agreement, pursuant to the RFT Guaranty) not later than 90 days from the earlier of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s discovery or receipt of notice of, and receipt of a demand to take action with respect to, such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be (or, in the case of a Material Document Defect or Material Breach relating to a Mortgage Loan not being a Qualified Mortgage, not later than 90 days from any party

discovering such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, provided that, if it is not the discovering party, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller receives notice thereof in a timely manner), to cure the same in all material respects (which cure shall include payment of losses and any Additional Trust Fund Expenses associated therewith) or, if such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, cannot be cured within such 90 day period, either to (before the end of such 90-day period) (i) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or any related REO Property (or the Trust’s interest therein with respect to any Outside Serviced Trust Loan) at the applicable Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Collection Account or (ii) substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for such affected Mortgage Loan (provided that in no event shall any such substitution occur on or after the second anniversary of the Closing Date) and pay the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account, any Substitution Shortfall Amount in connection therewith, all in conformity with the applicable Loan Purchase Agreement and this Agreement; provided, however, that if (i) such Material Document Defect or Material Breach is capable of being cured but not within such 90 day period, (ii) such Material Document Defect or Material Breach is not related to any Mortgage Loan’s not being a Qualified Mortgage and (iii) the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller has commenced and is diligently proceeding with the cure of such Material Document Defect or Material Breach within such 90 day period, then such Mortgage Loan Seller shall have an additional 90 days to complete such cure or, in the event of a failure to so cure, to complete such repurchase or substitution (it being understood and agreed that, in connection with such Mortgage Loan Seller’s receiving such additional 90 day period, such Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator setting forth the reasons such Material Document Defect or Material Breach is not capable of being cured within the initial 90 day period and what actions such Mortgage Loan Seller is pursuing in connection with the cure thereof and stating that such Mortgage Loan Seller anticipates that such Material Document Defect or Material Breach will be cured within such additional 90 day period); and provided, further, that, if any such Material Document Defect is still not cured after the initial 90 day period and any such additional 90 day period solely due to the failure of such Mortgage Loan Seller to have received the recorded document, then such Mortgage Loan Seller shall be entitled to continue to defer its cure, repurchase and substitution obligations in respect of such Document Defect so long as such Mortgage Loan Seller certifies to the Trustee, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator every 30 days thereafter that the Document Defect is still in effect solely because of its failure to have received the recorded document and that such Mortgage Loan Seller is diligently pursuing the cure of such defect (specifying the actions being taken), except that no such deferral of cure, repurchase or substitution may continue beyond the date that is 18 months following the Closing Date. If the affected Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased, the Master Servicer shall designate the Collection Account as the account to which funds in the amount of the Purchase Price are to be wired. If the affected Mortgage Loan is to be substituted for, the Master Servicer shall designate the Collection Account as the account to which funds in the amount of the Substitution Shortfall Amount are to be wired. Any such repurchase or substitution of a Mortgage Loan shall be on a whole loan, servicing released basis. Monthly Payments due with respect to each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (if any) after the related Due Date in the month of substitution, and Monthly Payments due with respect to each Mortgage Loan being repurchased or replaced after the related Cut-Off Date and received by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust on or prior to the related date of repurchase or substitution, shall be part of the Trust

Fund. Monthly Payments due with respect to each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (if any) on or prior to the related Due Date in the month of substitution, and Monthly Payments due with respect to each Mortgage Loan being repurchased or replaced and received by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust after the related date of repurchase or substitution, shall not be part of the Trust Fund and are to be remitted by the Master Servicer to the Mortgage Loan Seller effecting the related repurchase or substitution promptly following receipt.




 


If (x) a Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased or replaced as described above (a “Defective Mortgage Loan”), (y) such Defective Mortgage Loan is part of a Cross-Collateralized Group and (z) the applicable Document Defect or Breach does not constitute a Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, as to the other Mortgage Loan(s) that are a part of such Cross-Collateralized Group (the “Other Crossed Loans”) (without regard to this paragraph), then the applicable Document Defect or Breach (as the case may be) shall be deemed to constitute a Material Document Defect or Material Breach (as the case may be) as to each such Other Crossed Loan for purposes of the above provisions, and the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall be obligated to repurchase or replace each such Other Crossed Loan in accordance with the provisions above unless, in the case of such Breach or Document Defect:


 


(A)         the related Mortgage Loan Seller (at its expense) delivers or causes to be delivered to the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such Mortgage Loan Seller’s repurchase or replacement of only those Mortgage Loans as to which a Material Document Defect or Material Breach has actually occurred without regard to the provisions of this paragraph (the “Affected Loan(s)”) and the operation of the remaining provisions of this Section 2.03(a) (i) will not cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under subpart E, part I of subchapter J of the Code for federal income tax purposes at any time that any Certificate is outstanding and (ii) will not result in the imposition of a tax upon either Trust REMIC or the Trust Fund (including but not limited to the tax on “prohibited transactions” as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code); and


 


(B)         each of the following conditions would be satisfied if the related Mortgage Loan Seller were to repurchase or replace only the Affected Loans and not the Other Crossed Loans:


 


(1)      the debt service coverage ratio for such Other Crossed Loan(s) (excluding the Affected Loan(s)) for the four calendar quarters immediately preceding the repurchase or replacement is not less than the lesser of (A) 0.10x below the debt service coverage ratio for the Cross-Collateralized Group (including the Affected Loan(s)) set forth in Annex A to the Prospectus Supplement and (B) the debt service coverage ratio for the Cross-Collateralized Group (including the Affected Loan(s)) for the four preceding calendar quarters preceding the repurchase or replacement;


 




  





-123-











  






 


(2)      the loan-to-value ratio for the Other Crossed Loans (excluding the Affected Loan(s)) is not greater than the greatest of (A) the loan-to-value ratio, expressed as a whole number percentage (taken to one decimal place), for the Cross-Collateralized Group (including the Affected Loan(s)) set forth in Annex A to the Prospectus Supplement plus 10%, (B) the loan-to-value ratio, expressed as a whole number percentage (taken to one decimal place), for the Cross-Collateralized Group (including the Affected Loan(s)) at the time of repurchase or replacement and (C) 75%; and


 


(3)      either (x) the exercise of remedies against the Primary Collateral of any Mortgage Loan in the Cross-Collateralized Group will not impair the ability to exercise remedies against the Primary Collateral of the other Mortgage Loans in the Cross-Collateralized Group or (y) the Loan Documents evidencing and securing the relevant Mortgage Loans have been modified in a manner that complies with the related Loan Purchase Agreement and this Agreement and that removes any threat of impairment of the ability to exercise remedies against the Primary Collateral of the other Mortgage Loans in the Cross-Collateralized Group as a result of the exercise of remedies against the Primary Collateral of any Mortgage Loan in the Cross-Collateralized Group.


 


The determination of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, as to whether the conditions set forth above have been satisfied shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error on the Certificateholders, other parties to this Agreement and the related Mortgage Loan Seller. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, will be entitled to cause to be delivered, or direct the related Mortgage Loan Seller to cause to be delivered, to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, an Appraisal of any or all of the related Mortgaged Properties for purposes of determining whether the condition set forth in clause (B)(2) above has been satisfied, in each case at the expense of the related Mortgage Loan Seller if the scope and cost of the Appraisal is approved by the related Mortgage Loan Seller and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Controlling Class Representative Control Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld in each case).


 


With respect to any Defective Mortgage Loan that forms a part of a Cross-Collateralized Group and as to which the conditions described in the second preceding paragraph are satisfied, such that the Trust Fund will continue to hold the Other Crossed Loans, the related Mortgage Loan Seller and the Trustee, as successor to the Depositor, are bound by an agreement (set forth in the related Loan Purchase Agreement) to forbear from enforcing any remedies against the other’s Primary Collateral but each is permitted to exercise remedies against the Primary Collateral securing its respective Mortgage Loans, including with respect to the Trustee, the Primary Collateral securing the Affected Loan(s) still held by the Trustee. If the exercise of remedies by one such party would impair the ability of the other such party to exercise its remedies with respect to the Primary Collateral securing the Affected Loan or the Other Crossed Loans, as the case may be, held by the other such party, then both parties have agreed to forbear from exercising such remedies unless and until the Loan Documents evidencing and securing the


 




  





-124-











  




 


relevant Mortgage Loans can be modified in a manner that complies with the related Loan Purchase Agreement to remove the threat of impairment as a result of the exercise of remedies. Any reserve or other cash collateral or letters of credit securing any of the Mortgage Loans that form a Cross-Collateralized Group shall be allocated between such Mortgage Loans in accordance with the related Loan Documents, or otherwise on a pro rata basis based upon their outstanding Stated Principal Balances. All other terms of the related Mortgage Loans shall remain in full force and effect, without any modification thereof. The provisions of this paragraph shall be binding on all future holders of each Mortgage Loan that forms part of a Cross-Collateralized Group.




 


To the extent necessary and appropriate, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall execute (pursuant to a limited power of attorney provided by the Trustee that enables the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, to execute) the modification of the Loan Documents that complies with the applicable Loan Purchase Agreement to remove the threat of impairment of the ability of the Mortgage Loan Seller or the Trust Fund to exercise its remedies with respect to the Primary Collateral securing the Mortgage Loan(s) held by such party resulting from the exercise of remedies by the other such party; provided that the Trustee shall not be liable for any misuse of any such power of attorney by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, or any of its agents or subcontractors. The Master Servicer shall advance all costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee, the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer with respect to any Cross-Collateralized Group pursuant to this paragraph and the first, second and third preceding paragraphs, and such advances and interest thereon shall (i) constitute and be reimbursable as Servicing Advances and (ii) be included in the calculation of Purchase Price for the Affected Loan(s) to be repurchased or replaced. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be liable to any Certificateholder or any other party hereto if a modification of the Loan Documents described above cannot be effected for any reason beyond the control of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or should not be effected as determined by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, in accordance with the Servicing Standard.


 


If the Special Servicer or the Depositor receives a Repurchase Communication of a withdrawal of a Repurchase Request of which notice has been previously received or given and which withdrawal is by the Person making such Repurchase Request (a “Repurchase Request Withdrawal”), such party shall give written notice of such Repurchase Request Withdrawal to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, the other parties hereto, the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Controlling Class Representative Consultation Termination Event), any Serviced Companion Loan Holder (if applicable) and, for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 11.13 of this Agreement, the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider (to the extent notice has not previously been delivered to such Persons pursuant to this sentence). If the Special Servicer receives a Repurchase Communication that any Mortgage Loan that was subject of a Repurchase Request has been repurchased or replaced (a “Repurchase”), or that such Repurchase Request has been rejected (a “Repurchase Request Rejection”), then the Special Servicer shall (in accordance with the following paragraph) give written notice of such Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection to the Depositor, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (unless it is the entity that has repurchased or replaced the subject Mortgage Loan or rejected such Repurchase Request), and the Certificate Administrator (unless it is the party that notified the Special Servicer thereof).

Each notice of a Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection required to be given by a party pursuant to this Section 2.03(a) (each, a “Rule 15Ga-1 Notice”) shall be given no later than ten (10) Business Days after receipt of a Repurchase Communication of such Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection, as applicable, and shall include (i) the identity of the related Mortgage Loan, (ii) the date that the Repurchase Communication regarding the Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection was received, as applicable, (iii) if known, the basis for the Repurchase Request (as asserted in the Repurchase Request) and (iv) in the case of Rule 15Ga-1 Notices provided by the Special Servicer with respect to a Repurchase Request, a statement as to whether the Special Servicer currently plans to pursue such Repurchase Request.


 


If the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Custodian receives a Repurchase Communication of a Repurchase Request, a Repurchase Request Withdrawal, a Repurchase or a Repurchase Request Rejection, then such party shall promptly forward such Repurchase Communication of such Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection to the Special Servicer (with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan) and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Controlling Class Representative Consultation Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative, and include the following statement in the related correspondence: “This is a Repurchase Communication regarding [a “Repurchase Request”] [a “Repurchase Request Withdrawal”] [a “Repurchase”] [a “Repurchase Request Rejection”] under Section 2.03(a) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to the Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Trust 2015-GC27 Commercial Mortgage Pass Through Certificates, Series 2015-GC27, requiring action by you as the recipient of such [Repurchase Request] [Repurchase Request Withdrawal] [Repurchase] [Repurchase Request Rejection] thereunder”. Upon receipt of any Repurchase Communication of a Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection by the Special Servicer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, the Special Servicer shall be deemed to be the recipient of such Repurchase Communication of such Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection, and the Special Servicer shall comply with the notice procedures set forth in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 2.03(a) with respect to such Repurchase Communication of such Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection.


 


No Person that is required to provide a Rule 15Ga-1 Notice pursuant to this Section 2.03(a) (a “Rule 15Ga-1 Notice Provider”) shall be required to provide any information in a Rule 15Ga-1 Notice protected by the attorney-client privilege or attorney work product doctrines. Each Loan Purchase Agreement will provide that (i) any Rule 15Ga-1 Notice provided pursuant to this Section 2.03(a) is so provided only to assist the related Mortgage Loan Seller, the Depositor and their respective Affiliates to comply with Rule 15Ga-1, Items 1104 and 1121 of Regulation AB and any other requirement of law or regulation and (ii)(A) no action taken by, or inaction of, a Rule 15Ga-1 Notice Provider and (B) no information provided pursuant to this Section 2.03(a) by a Rule 15Ga-1 Notice Provider in a Rule 15Ga-1 Notice shall be deemed to constitute a waiver or defense to the exercise of any legal right the Rule 15Ga-1 Notice Provider may have with respect to the related Loan Purchase Agreement, including with respect to any Repurchase Request that is the subject of a Rule 15Ga-1 Notice.

(b)           Subject to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s right to cure as contemplated in this Section 2.03, and further subject to Section 2.01(b) and Section 2.01(c) of this Agreement, failure of such Mortgage Loan Seller to deliver the documents referred to in clauses (1), (2), (7), (8), (18) and (19) in the definition of “Mortgage File” in accordance with this Agreement and the applicable Loan Purchase Agreement for any Mortgage Loan shall be deemed a Material Document Defect; provided, however, that no Document Defect (except a deemed Material Document Defect described above) shall be considered to be a Material Document Defect unless the document with respect to which the Document Defect exists is required in connection with an imminent enforcement of the lender’s rights or remedies under the related Mortgage Loan, defending any claim asserted by any Mortgagor or third party with respect to the Mortgage Loan, establishing the validity or priority of any lien on any collateral securing the Mortgage Loan or for any immediate significant servicing obligation.


 


(c)           In connection with any repurchase of, or substitution of a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for, a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 2.03, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each tender to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, upon delivery to each of them of a receipt executed by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller evidencing such repurchase or substitution, all portions of the Mortgage File and other documents (including, without limitation, the Servicing File), and all Escrow Payments and reserve funds, pertaining to such Mortgage Loan possessed by it, and each document that constitutes a part of the Mortgage File shall be endorsed or assigned to the extent necessary or appropriate to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee in the same manner, but only if the respective documents have been previously assigned or endorsed to the Trustee, and pursuant to appropriate forms of assignment, substantially similar to the manner and forms pursuant to which such documents were previously assigned to the Trustee or as otherwise reasonably requested to effect the retransfer and reconveyance of the Mortgage Loan and the security thereof to the Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee; provided that such tender by the Trustee 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. The Master Servicer shall, and is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee to, prepare, execute and deliver in its own name, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee or any of them, the endorsements and assignments contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), and such other instruments as may be necessary or appropriate to transfer title to an REO Property (including with respect to an Outside Serviced Trust Loan) in connection with the repurchase of, or substitution for, an REO Mortgage Loan and the Trustee shall execute and deliver any powers of attorney necessary to permit the Master Servicer to do so; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be held liable for any misuse of any such power of attorney by the Master Servicer or any of its agents or subcontractors.


 


(d)           The related Loan Purchase Agreement and, if applicable, the RTI Guaranty and the RFT Guaranty, provide the sole remedies available to the Certificateholders, or the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders, respecting any

(a)          The Master Servicer (with respect to Performing Serviced Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans), as applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts in accordance with the Servicing Standard to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Serviced Loans it is obligated to service hereunder (including Special Servicing Fees (in the case of the Special Servicer only), Workout Fees, Liquidation Fees (in the case of the Special Servicer only) and any other fees payable to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer if and to the extent the related Loan Documents require the related Mortgagor to pay such fees), and shall follow the Servicing Standard with respect to such collection procedures; provided that, with respect to any ARD Mortgage Loan, so long as the related Mortgagor is in compliance with each provision of the related Loan Documents, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not take any enforcement action with respect to the failure of the related Mortgagor to make any payment of Excess Interest, other than requests for collection, until the Maturity Date of any ARD Mortgage Loan or until the outstanding principal balance of such ARD Mortgage Loan (exclusive of any portion representing accrued Excess Interest) has been paid in full); provided, further, that, with respect to any ARD Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, may take action to enforce the Trust Fund’s right to apply excess cash flow to principal in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents. For clarification, no obligation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to use commercially reasonable efforts to collect fees from the related Mortgagor will change the obligation of the Master Servicer to pay such fees from general collections or other proceeds in accordance with Section 3.06(a) and Section 3.06A(a) of this Agreement, whether or not such Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees or Liquidation Fees are collected from or paid by the related Mortgagor. The Master Servicer, with respect to the Performing Serviced Loans, and the Special Servicer, with respect to the Specially Serviced Loans, shall use its reasonable efforts to collect income statements, rent rolls and other reporting information from Mortgagors (as required under the related Loan Documents). Consistent with the foregoing, the Master Servicer (with respect to Performing Serviced Loans) or Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans), as applicable, may in its discretion waive any Penalty Charges in connection with any delinquent Monthly Payment with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than an Outside Serviced Trust Loan) or Serviced Companion Loan. In addition, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to take such actions with respect to the collection of payments on the Mortgage Loans (other than the Outside Serviced Trust Loans) and the Serviced Companion Loan as are permitted or required under Section 3.21 of this Agreement.


 


(b)         If there is any ARD Mortgage Loan included in the Trust Fund, and if the Master Servicer receives Excess Interest directly from the related Mortgagor or through the Special Servicer, which Excess Interest was collected during the Prepayment Period for any Distribution Date, or receives notice from the related Mortgagor that the Master Servicer will be receiving Excess Interest during the Prepayment Period for any Distribution Date, then the Master Servicer shall notify the Certificate Administrator no later than two Business Days prior to such Distribution Date by means of a clearly labeled item in the CREFC® Loan Periodic Update File. None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee shall be responsible for any failure of the related Mortgagor to pay any such Excess Interest. The preceding statements shall not, however, be construed to limit the provisions of Section 3.03(a) of this Agreement.

(c)          With respect to each Outside Serviced Trust Loan, the Certificate Administrator shall deliver to the related Outside Trustee, the related Outside Certificate Administrator, the related Outside Special Servicer, the related Outside Servicer and the related Outside Operating Advisor (A) promptly following the Closing Date, written notice in the form of Exhibit FF attached hereto stating that, as of the Closing Date, the Trustee is the holder of such Outside Serviced Trust Loan and directing each such recipient to remit to the Master Servicer all amounts payable to, and to forward, deliver or otherwise make available, as the case may be, to the Master Servicer all reports, statements, documents, communications and other information that are to be forwarded, delivered or otherwise made available to, the holder of such Outside Serviced Trust Loan under the related Co-Lender Agreement and the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement (which notice shall also provide contact information for the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and each party designated to exercise the rights of the “Non-Controlling Note Holder” under the related Co-Lender Agreement), accompanied by a copy of an executed version of this Agreement, and (B) notice of any subsequent change in the identity of the Master Servicer or any party designated to exercise the rights of the “Non-Controlling Note Holder” under the related Co-Lender Agreement (together with the relevant contact information). The Master Servicer shall, within one (1) Business Day of receipt of properly identified funds, deposit into the Collection Account all amounts received with respect to each Outside Serviced Trust Loan, the Mortgaged Property related to each Outside Serviced Trust Loan or any related REO Property; provided, however, that to the extent any such amounts are received after 2:00 p.m. Eastern time on any given Business Day, the Master Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deposit such amounts into the Collection Account within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such amounts but, in any event, the Master Servicer shall deposit such amounts into the Collection Account within two (2) Business Days of receipt of such amounts.


 


(d)         With respect to each Outside Serviced Trust Loan, if the Master Servicer does not receive from the related Outside Servicer any Monthly Payment or other amounts known by the Master Servicer to be owing on such Outside Serviced Trust Loan in accordance with the terms of the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement and/or the related Co-Lender Agreement, then the Master Servicer shall provide notice of such failure to the related Outside Servicer and the related Outside Trustee.


 


Section 3.04     Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Escrow Accounts.


 


(a)          With respect to each Mortgaged Property securing a Serviced Loan, the Master Servicer shall maintain accurate records with respect to each related Mortgaged Property reflecting the status of taxes, assessments, ground rents and other similar items that are or may become a lien on the related Mortgaged Property and the status of insurance premiums payable with respect thereto. From time to time, to the extent such payments are to be made from escrowed funds, the Master Servicer shall (i) obtain all bills for the payment of such items (including renewal premiums), and (ii) effect payment of all such bills with respect to such Mortgaged Properties prior to the applicable penalty or termination date, in each case employing for such purpose Escrow Payments as allowed under the terms of the related Serviced Loan. With respect to non-escrowed payments, when the Master Servicer becomes aware in accordance with the Servicing Standard that a Mortgagor (other than with respect to the Outside Serviced 


 




  





-153-











  






 


Trust Loan) has failed to make any such payment or, with respect to escrowed loans, collections from the Mortgagor are insufficient to pay any such item before the applicable penalty or termination date, the Master Servicer shall advance the amount of any shortfall as a Property Advance unless the Master Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Master Servicer may in accordance with the Servicing Standard elect (but is not required) to make (and in the case of a Specially Serviced Loan, at the direction of the Special Servicer will be required to make) a payment from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account that would otherwise be a Property Advance with respect to a Mortgage Loan (other than an Outside Serviced Trust Loan) notwithstanding that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer has determined that such a Property Advance would, if advanced, be a Nonrecoverable Property Advance, if making the payment (x) would prevent (i) the related Mortgaged Property from being uninsured or being sold at a tax sale or (ii) any event that would cause a loss of the priority of the lien of the related Mortgage, or the loss of any security for the related Mortgage Loan, or (y) would remediate any adverse environmental condition or circumstance at the related Mortgaged Property, if, in each instance, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that making the payment is in the best interest of the Certificateholders and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) (as a collective whole as if the Certificateholders and such Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) constituted a single lender (and, in the case of a Serviced AB Loan Combination, taking into account the subordinate nature of the related Subordinate Companion Loan)). If the Special Servicer makes such a determination, it shall notify the Master Servicer and the Master Servicer shall make such payment from the Collection Account. No costs incurred by the Master Servicer in effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties shall, for the purpose of calculating distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the amount owing under the related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit.


 


(b)         The Master Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination constituting Escrow Payments separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more segregated custodial accounts (each, an “Escrow Account”) into which all Escrow Payments shall be deposited within two (2) Business Days after receipt of properly identified funds. The Master Servicer shall also deposit into each applicable Escrow Account any amounts representing losses on Permitted Investments to the extent required by Section 3.07(b) of this Agreement and any Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds which are required to be applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan. Escrow Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts (except to the extent the related Mortgage Loan requires or permits it to be held in an account that is not an Eligible Account) and (subject to any changes in the identities of the Master Servicer and/or the Trustee) shall be entitled, “Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, on behalf of Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee for the benefit of the registered Holders of Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2015-GC27, the Serviced Companion Loan Holders, and Various Mortgagors.” Withdrawals from an Escrow Account may be made by the Master Servicer only:

(i)          to effect timely payments of items constituting Escrow Payments for the related Loan Documents and in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, as applicable;


 


(ii)         to transfer funds to the Collection Account and/or the applicable Loan Combination Custodial Account to reimburse the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, for any Property Advance (with interest thereon at the Advance Rate) relating to Escrow Payments, but only from amounts received with respect to the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, as applicable, which represent late collections of Escrow Payments thereunder;


 


(iii)        for application to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, as applicable, and the Servicing Standard;


 


(iv)        to clear and terminate such Escrow Account upon the termination of this Agreement;


 


(v)         to pay from time to time to the related Mortgagor (a) any interest or investment income earned on funds deposited in the Escrow Account if such income is required to be paid to the related Mortgagor under law or by the terms of the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, as applicable, or otherwise to the Master Servicer and (b) any other funds required to be released to the related Mortgagors pursuant to the related Loan Documents; and


 


(vi)        to remove any funds deposited in an Escrow Account that were not required to be deposited therein.


 


(c)         In the event any Loan Documents permit the lender, at the discretion of the lender, to use letters of credit and/or cash reserves to prepay the related Mortgage Loan prior to the Maturity Date and in the absence of an event of default or acceleration of the Mortgage Loan, then the Master Servicer shall hold such amounts in an Escrow Account for so long as the Loan Documents permit such discretion.


 


(d)         To the extent that (i) an operations and maintenance plan is required to be established and executed pursuant to the terms of a Serviced Loan, or (ii) any repairs, capital improvements, actions or remediations are required to have been taken or completed pursuant to the terms of the Serviced Loan, the Master Servicer shall determine in accordance with the Servicing Standard (which determination may be made on the basis of inquiry to the Mortgagor and this sentence shall in no event be construed to require a physical inspection other than inspections described in Section 3.18 of this Agreement; provided that all deliveries required to be made to Master Servicer under the related Loan Documents of supporting documentation have been made; then the Master Servicer shall report the then current status as a failure) whether the related Mortgagor has failed to perform such obligations under the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination as of the date required under the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination and report any such failure to the Special Servicer, the Serviced Companion Loan Holders and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of an applicable

Section 3.05     Collection Account; Distribution Accounts; and Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account; and Excess Interest Distribution Account.


 


(a)         The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain the Collection Account in the Master Servicer’s name on behalf of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Trustee as the Holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests. The Collection Account shall be established and maintained as an Eligible Account. Amounts attributable to the Mortgage Loans (other than the Excess Interest) will be assets of the Lower Tier REMIC.

(vii)       any other amounts required by the provisions of this Agreement to be deposited into the Collection Account by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, including pursuant to Section 2.03 and Section 3.03(c) of this Agreement;


 


provided, however, that to the extent any amounts referred to in clauses (x) or (y) above of this Section 3.05(a) are received after 2:00 p.m. Eastern time on any given Business Day, the Master Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deposit such amounts into the Collection Account within one (1) Business Day of receipt thereof but, in any event, the Master Servicer shall deposit such amounts into the Collection Account within two (2) Business Days of receipt thereof).


 


The foregoing requirements for deposits in the Collection Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent provided herein, Ancillary Fees, Consent Fees, Assumption Fees, assumption application fees and defeasance fees need not be deposited in the Collection Account by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be entitled to retain any such Ancillary Fees, Consent Fees, Assumption Fees, assumption application fees and/or defeasance fees received with respect to such Mortgage Loans in accordance with Section 3.12 of this Agreement; provided that if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, receives any such Ancillary Fees, Consent Fees, Assumption Fees, assumption application fees and/or defeasance fees in excess of the percentage of such fees to which it is entitled pursuant to Section 3.12(a) (in the case of the Master Servicer) or Section 3.12(c) (in the case of the Special Servicer), then it shall remit to the other party (i.e. the Special Servicer (if Master Servicer has received the excess percentage of such fees) or the Master Servicer (if Special Servicer has received the excess percentage of such fees), as applicable) the percentage of such fees to which such other party is entitled pursuant to Section 3.12(a) or Section 3.12(c), as applicable. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not deposit any Modification Fees received by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, with respect to any Mortgage Loan into the Collection Account and shall instead apply such fees in accordance with Section 3.14 of this Agreement. In the event that the Master Servicer deposits in the Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from the Collection Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. The Master Servicer shall give written notice to the Certificate Administrator and the Special Servicer of the location and account number of the Collection Account and shall notify the Certificate Administrator and the Special Servicer in writing of any subsequent change thereof.


 


Upon receipt of any of the amounts described in clauses (i) through (vii) of the last sentence of the second preceding paragraph with respect to a Mortgage Loan (other than a Mortgage Loan related to a Serviced Loan Combination), the Special Servicer shall promptly, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day after receipt, remit such amounts to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account in accordance with the second preceding paragraph, unless the Special Servicer determines, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that a particular item should not be deposited because of a restrictive endorsement or other appropriate reason.

Any such amounts received by the Special Servicer with respect to an REO Property that relates to any Mortgage Loan (other than a Mortgage Loan related to a Serviced Loan Combination) shall initially be deposited by the Special Servicer into the related REO Account (or, at the option of the Special Servicer, remitted by the applicable property manager directly to the Master Servicer) and thereafter remitted to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account, all in accordance with Section 3.16 of this Agreement.


 


(b)        The Certificate Administrator shall establish and maintain the Lower-Tier Distribution Account and the Upper-Tier Distribution Account in the name of the Certificate Administrator on behalf of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders. Each of the Distribution Accounts shall be non-interest bearing and shall be established and maintained as Eligible Accounts or as sub-accounts of a single Eligible Account. With respect to each Distribution Date, on or before such Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall be deemed to make or shall make the withdrawals from the Lower-Tier Distribution Account, as set forth in Section 4.01 of this Agreement, shall be deemed to make the deposits into the Lower-Tier Distribution Account and the Upper-Tier Distribution Account, as set forth in Section 4.01 hereof, and shall cause the amount of Available Funds (including P&I Advances) and Yield Maintenance Charges to be distributed in respect of the Certificates, pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof on such date.

The Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account shall be non-interest bearing and shall be maintained separate and apart from trust funds for mortgage pass-through certificates of other series administered by the Certificate Administrator and other accounts of the Certificate Administrator.


 


Upon the disposition of any REO Property in accordance with Section 3.17 of this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall calculate the Excess Liquidation Proceeds, if any, realized in connection with such sale and remit to the Certificate Administrator such amount for deposit in the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account. Amounts held in the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account on each Distribution Date that exceed amounts reasonably anticipated to be required to offset possible future Realized Losses, as determined by the Special Servicer, and all amounts held in the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account on the final Distribution Date, in each case after application in accordance with Section 4.01(d)(i) of this Agreement, shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class R Certificates in respect of the Lower-Tier Residual Interest.

The Certificate Administrator shall, on any Distribution Date, make withdrawals from the Excess Interest Distribution Account to the extent required to make the distributions of Excess Interest required by Section 4.01(m) of this Agreement.

(f)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each Distribution Account, the Exchangeable Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account and the Interest Reserve Account may all be sub-accounts of a single Eligible Account; provided that each of them shall be treated as a separate account for purposes of deposits and withdrawals under this Agreement.

(a)         The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain, with respect to each Serviced Loan Combination (if any), one or more separate accounts, which may be sub-accounts of a single account (with respect to each Serviced Loan Combination, the “Loan Combination Custodial Account”) in which the amounts described in clauses (i) through (viii) below shall be deposited and held in the name of the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, as their interests may appear; provided that a Loan Combination Custodial Account may be a sub-account of the Collection Account or another Loan Combination Custodial Account (but shall be deemed to be a separate account for purposes of applying the terms of this Agreement). Each of the Loan Combination Custodial Accounts shall be an Eligible Account or a subaccount of an Eligible Account.

Any direction by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to invest funds on deposit in an Investment Account shall be in writing and shall certify that the requested investment is a Permitted Investment which matures at or prior to the time required hereby or is payable on demand.

The Special Servicer shall have no responsibility or liability with respect to the investment direction of the Master Servicer, any Mortgagor or any property manager or any losses resulting therefrom, whether from Permitted Investments or otherwise. In the event amounts on deposit in an Investment Account are at any time invested in a Permitted Investment payable on demand, the Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer in the case of REO Accounts), shall: (x) consistent with any notice required to be given thereunder, demand that payment thereon be made on the last day such Permitted Investment may otherwise mature hereunder in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) all amounts then payable thereunder and (2) the amount required to be withdrawn on such date; and (y) demand payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon determination by the Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer in the case of REO Accounts) that such Permitted Investment would not constitute a Permitted Investment in respect of funds thereafter on deposit in the related Investment Account. Amounts on deposit in each Distribution Account, the Exchangeable Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account and the Interest Reserve Account (each, a “Certificate Administrator Account”) shall remain uninvested.


 


(b)         All income and gain realized from investment of funds deposited in any Investment Account shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer, except with respect to the investment of funds deposited in (i) any Mortgagor Account to the extent required under the Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Loan Combination) or applicable law to be for the benefit of the related Mortgagor or (ii) any REO Account, which shall be for the benefit of the Special Servicer, and if held in the Collection Account, a Loan Combination Custodial Account or an REO Account, shall be subject to withdrawal by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in accordance with Section 3.06, Section 3.06A or Section 3.16(b) of this Agreement, as applicable. The Master Servicer (or with respect to any REO Account, the Special Servicer) shall deposit from its own funds into any applicable Investment Account, the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any such Permitted Investment immediately upon realization of such loss (except with respect to losses incurred as a result of the related Mortgagor or Manager exercising its power under the related Loan Documents to direct such investment in such Mortgagor Account); provided, however, that the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, may reduce the amount of such payment to the extent it forgoes any investment income in such Investment Account otherwise payable to it. The Master Servicer shall also deposit from its own funds in any Mortgagor Account the amount of any loss incurred in respect of Permitted Investments, except to the extent that amounts are invested for the benefit of the Mortgagor under the terms of the Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Loan Combination) or applicable law.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer (in their respective capacities as Master Servicer and Special Servicer, respectively) shall be required to deposit any loss on an investment of funds in an Investment Account if such loss is incurred solely as a result of the insolvency of the federal or state chartered depository institution or trust company that holds such Investment Account, so long as such depository institution or trust company is not the Person or an Affiliate of the Person maintaining such account hereunder and satisfied the qualifications set forth in the definition of Eligible Account both (1) at the time such investment was made and (2) as of the date that is 30 days prior to the insolvency.


 


(c)           Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Permitted Investment, or if a default occurs in any other performance required under any Permitted Investment, the Trustee may, and upon the request of Holders of Certificates representing greater than 50% of the Percentage Interests of any Class shall, take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate proceedings. In the event the Trustee takes any such action, the Trust Fund shall pay or reimburse the Trustee for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in connection therewith. In the event that the Trustee does not take any such action, the Master Servicer may, but is not obligated to, take such action at its own cost and expense.


 


Section 3.08     Maintenance of Insurance Policies and Errors and Omissions and Fidelity Coverage.


 


(a)           The Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee, as mortgagee of record, shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the related Mortgagor to maintain, to the extent required by each Mortgage Loan (other than an Outside Serviced Trust Loan) and each Serviced Companion Loan (except to the extent that the failure to maintain such insurance coverage is an Acceptable Insurance Default), and if the Mortgagor does not so maintain, shall itself maintain (subject to the provisions of this Agreement concerning Nonrecoverable Advances and to the extent the Trustee as mortgagee of record has an insurable interest and to the extent available at commercially reasonable rates), (i) fire and hazard insurance (and windstorm insurance, if applicable) with extended coverage on the related Mortgaged Property in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (a) one hundred percent (100%) of the then “full replacement cost” of the improvements and equipment (excluding foundations, footings and excavation costs), without deduction for physical depreciation, and (b) the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan and the related Serviced Companion Loan or such greater amount as is necessary to prevent any reduction in such policy by reason of the application of co-insurance provisions and to prevent the Trustee thereunder from being deemed to be a co-insurer and provided such policy shall include a “replacement cost” rider, (ii) insurance providing coverage against 18 months (or such longer period or with such extended period endorsement as provided in the related Mortgage or other Loan Document) of rent interruptions and (iii) such other insurance as is required in the related Mortgage Loan and the related Serviced Companion Loan. Subject to Section 3.16 of this Agreement, the Special Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard and to the extent available at commercially reasonable rates (as determined by the Special Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard), shall cause to be maintained for each REO Property (other than an REO Property related to an Outside Serviced Trust Loan) no less insurance coverage than was 


 




  





-173-











  






 


previously required of the Mortgagor under the related Loan Documents (except to the extent that the failure to maintain such insurance coverage is an Acceptable Insurance Default); provided that to the extent the Loan Documents require the related Mortgagor to maintain insurance with an insurer rated better than as indicated in the definition of “Qualified Insurer”, the Master Servicer may, without a Rating Agency Confirmation or the approval of the Special Servicer, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard, permit the related Mortgagor to maintain insurance with an insurer that does not meet the requirements of the Loan Documents so long as the related Mortgagor maintains insurance with an insurer rated at least as indicated in the definition of “Qualified Insurer”. All insurance for an REO Property shall be from a Qualified Insurer, if available from a Qualified Insurer, and if not available from a Qualified Insurer, from an insurance provider that is rated the next highest available rating who is offering such insurance at commercially reasonable rates. Any amounts collected by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts required to be applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property or amounts to be released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the terms of the related Loan Documents) shall be deposited into the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05 of this Agreement or the Loan Combination Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3.05A of this Agreement, as applicable, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.05, Section 3.05A, Section 3.06 or Section 3.06A of this Agreement. Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit. It is understood and agreed that no other additional insurance other than flood insurance or earthquake insurance subject to the conditions set forth below is to be required of any Mortgagor or to be maintained by the Master Servicer other than pursuant to the terms of the related Loan Documents and pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. If the related Mortgaged Property (other than an REO Property and other than with respect to an Outside Serviced Trust Loan) is located in a federally designated special flood hazard area, the Master Servicer will use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the related Mortgagor to maintain, to the extent required by each Serviced Loan, and if the related Mortgagor does not so maintain, shall itself obtain (subject to the provisions of this Agreement concerning Nonrecoverable Advances) and maintain flood insurance in respect thereof. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan and the related Serviced Companion Loan and (ii) the maximum amount of such insurance required by the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination and as is available for the related property under the national flood insurance program (assuming that the area in which such property is located is participating in such program). If a Mortgaged Property (other than an REO Property) is related to a Serviced Loan pursuant to which earthquake insurance is required to be maintained pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, the Master Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the related Mortgagor to maintain, and if the related Mortgagor does not so maintain will itself obtain (subject to the provisions of this Agreement concerning Nonrecoverable Advances and for so long as such insurance continues to be available at commercially reasonable rates) and maintain earthquake insurance in respect thereof, in the amount required by the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination or, if not specified, in-place at origination. If an REO Property (other than an REO Property related to the Outside


 




  





-174-











  






 


Serviced Trust Loan) (i) is located in a federally designated special flood hazard area or (ii) is related to a Serviced Loan with respect to which earthquake insurance would be appropriate in accordance with the Servicing Standard and such insurance is available at commercially reasonable rates, the Special Servicer will obtain (subject to the provisions of this Agreement concerning Nonrecoverable Advances) and maintain flood insurance and/or earthquake insurance in respect thereof providing the same coverage as described in this Section 3.08(a). Out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer in maintaining insurance policies pursuant to this Section 3.08 shall be advanced by the Master Servicer as a Property Advance and shall be reimbursable to the Master Servicer with interest at the Advance Rate. The Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer, with respect to REO Properties) agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and the Certificateholders and the Serviced Companion Loan Holders, claims under each related insurance policy maintained by it pursuant to this Section 3.08(a) in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy and to take such reasonable steps as are necessary to receive payment or to permit recovery thereunder. All insurance policies required to be maintained by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer hereunder shall name the Trustee or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee, as loss payee, and shall be issued by Qualified Insurers, if available from a Qualified Insurer, and if not available from a Qualified Insurer, from an insurance provider that is rated the next highest available rating who is offering such insurance at commercially reasonable rates. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (A) the Master Servicer shall not be required to maintain any earthquake or environmental insurance policy on any Mortgaged Property and the Special Servicer shall not be required to maintain any earthquake or environmental insurance policy on any REO Property, in each case unless such insurance is required to be maintained under the related Loan Documents and is available at commercially reasonable rates; provided, however, that neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall have any obligation to maintain such earthquake or environmental insurance policy required under the related Loan Documents if the originator of the Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination waived compliance with such insurance requirements (and if the applicable Master Servicer does not cause the Mortgagor to maintain or does not itself maintain such earthquake or environmental insurance policy on any Mortgaged Property, the applicable Special Servicer shall have the right, but not the duty, to obtain, at the Trust’s expense, earthquake or environmental insurance on any Mortgaged Property securing a Specially Serviced Loan or an REO Property so long as such insurance is available at commercially reasonable rates); (B) with respect to the Master Servicer’s obligation to cause the related Mortgagor to maintain such insurance, the Master Servicer shall have no obligation beyond using its efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause any Mortgagor to maintain the insurance required to be maintained or that the lender is entitled to reasonably require, subject to applicable law, under the related Loan Documents; and (C) in making determinations as to the availability of insurance at commercially reasonable rates or otherwise, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard, be entitled to rely, at its own expense, on insurance consultants in making such determination and any such determinations by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, need not be made more frequently than annually but in any event shall be made at the approximate date on which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, receives notice of the renewal, replacement or cancellation of coverage.


 




  





-175-











  






 


Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, will not be required to maintain, and shall not cause a Mortgagor to be in default with respect to the failure of the related Mortgagor to obtain, all risk casualty insurance which does not contain any carve out for terrorist or similar acts, if, and only if, the Special Servicer has determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard that the failure to maintain such insurance is an Acceptable Insurance Default; provided that, during the period that the Special Servicer is evaluating such insurance hereunder, the Master Servicer shall not be liable for any loss related to its failure to require the Mortgagor to maintain terrorism insurance and shall not be in default of its obligations hereunder as a result of such failure. The Special Servicer shall promptly notify the Master Servicer of each determination under this paragraph.


 


(b)           (i) If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer obtains and maintains a blanket insurance policy insuring against fire and hazard losses on all of the Mortgaged Properties (other than REO Properties and other than Mortgaged Properties that secure the Outside Serviced Trust Loans) as to which the related Mortgagor has not maintained insurance required by the related Mortgage Loan or, if applicable, related Serviced Loan Combination (other than any Mortgagor that is required under the related Loan Documents to maintain insurance with an insurer rated better than as indicated in the definition of “Qualified Insurer” that maintains insurance with an insurer rated at least as indicated in the definition of “Qualified Insurer”) or the Special Servicer obtains and maintains a blanket insurance policy insuring against fire and hazard losses on all of the REO Properties (other than REO Properties acquired in respect of the Outside Serviced Trust Loan), as required under this Agreement, as the case may be, then the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its respective obligations concerning the maintenance of insurance coverage set forth in Section 3.08(a) of this Agreement. Any such blanket insurance policy shall be maintained with a Qualified Insurer. A blanket insurance policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall, in the event that (i) there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property a policy otherwise complying with the provisions of Section 3.08(a) of this Agreement, and (ii) there shall have been one or more losses which would have been covered by such a policy had it been maintained, immediately deposit into the Collection Account or, if applicable, related Loan Combination Custodial Account from its own funds the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause to the extent that any such deductible exceeds the deductible limitation that pertained to the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination or, in the absence of any such deductible limitation, the deductible limitation which is consistent with the Servicing Standard. In connection with its activities as Master Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder, as applicable, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, respectively, agree to prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and Certificateholder and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, claims under any such blanket policy which it maintains in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy and to take such reasonable steps as are necessary to receive payment or permit recovery thereunder.


 


(ii)          If the Master Servicer causes any Mortgaged Property (other than any REO Property and other than any Mortgaged Property that secures an Outside Serviced Trust Loan) or the Special Servicer causes any REO Property (other than an REO Property acquired in respect of an Outside Serviced Trust Loan) to be covered by a master force placed insurance policy and such policy shall be issued by a Qualified Insurer and 


 




  





-176-











  






 


provide no less coverage in scope and amount for such Mortgaged Property or REO Property than the insurance required to be maintained pursuant to Section 3.08(a) of this Agreement, then the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its respective obligations to maintain insurance pursuant to Section 3.08(a) of this Agreement. Such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall, in the event that (i) there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy otherwise complying with the provisions of Section 3.08(a), and (ii) there shall have been one or more losses which would have been covered by such a policy had it been maintained, immediately deposit into the Collection Account or, if applicable, related Loan Combination Custodial Account from its own funds the amount not otherwise payable under such policy because of such deductible to the extent that any such deductible exceeds the deductible limitation that pertained to the related Mortgage Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan(s) related thereto, or, in the absence of any such deductible limitation, the deductible limitation which is consistent with the Servicing Standard.


 


(iii)         In either case, if the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, causes any Mortgaged Property or REO Property to be covered by such “force-placed” insurance policy, the incremental costs of such insurance applicable to such Mortgaged Property or REO Property (i.e., other than any minimum or standby premium payable for such policy whether or not any Mortgaged Property or REO Property is covered thereby) shall be paid as a Property Advance. Any legal fees or other out-of-pocket costs incurred in accordance with the Servicing Standard in connection with any claim under an insurance policy described above (whether by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer) shall be paid by, and reimbursable to, the Master Servicer as a Property Advance.


 


(c)          The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each maintain a fidelity bond in such form as is consistent with the Servicing Standard and in such amounts that are consistent with the Servicing Standard. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each shall be deemed to have complied with this provision if one of its respective Affiliates has such fidelity bond coverage and, by the terms of such fidelity bond, the coverage afforded thereunder extends to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable. In addition, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each keep in force during the term of this Agreement a policy or policies of insurance covering loss occasioned by the errors and omissions of its officers and employees in connection with its obligations to service the Mortgage Loans and any Serviced Companion Loans hereunder in such form as is consistent with the Servicing Standard and in such amounts as are consistent with the Servicing Standard. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the long-term unsecured debt rating of the Master Servicer (or its corporate parent) or the Special Servicer (or its corporate parent) is not in any event less than “A(low)” as rated by DBRS and “A3” as rated by Moody’s, respectively, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may self-insure for the fidelity bond and errors and omissions coverage otherwise required above. The Master Servicer shall cause each and every Sub-Servicer for it to maintain or cause to be maintained by an agent or contractor servicing any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination on behalf of such Sub-Servicer, a fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy which satisfy the requirements for the fidelity bond and the errors and omissions policy to be maintained by the Master Servicer to comply with the foregoing. All

fidelity bonds and policies of errors and omissions insurance obtained under this Section 3.08(c) shall be issued by a Qualified Insurer.


 


Section 3.09     Enforcement of Due-On-Sale and Due-On-Encumbrance Clauses; Assumption Agreements; Defeasance Provisions.


 


(a)           Upon receipt of any request of a waiver or consent in respect of a due-on-sale or due-on-encumbrance provision, the Master Servicer, with respect to Performing Serviced Loans, and the Special Servicer, with respect to Specially Serviced Loans, shall (i) promptly analyze such request, including the preparation of written materials in connection with such analysis, and (ii) close the related transaction, subject to the consent of the Special Servicer (in the case of Performing Serviced Loans) and the consultation and/or consent rights (if any) of the related Directing Holder or the consultation rights of any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder (or its Companion Loan Holder Representative) as provided in this Section 3.09(a) and as otherwise provided in the related Co-Lender Agreement and this Agreement, and subject to Sections 3.09(b), 3.21, 3.24, 3.25 and Section 3.29; provided, however, that neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall enter into any such agreement to the extent that any terms thereof would result in (i) the imposition of a tax on a Trust REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under subpart E, part I of subchapter J of the Code for federal income tax purposes at any time that any Certificate is outstanding or (ii) create any lien on a Mortgaged Property that is senior to, or on parity with, the lien of the related Mortgage. With respect to all Performing Serviced Loans, the Master Servicer or, in the case of Specially Serviced Loans, the Special Servicer, each in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard and each on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, enforce the restrictions contained in the related Mortgage on transfers or further encumbrances of the related Mortgaged Property and on transfers of interests in the related Mortgagor, unless following its receipt of a request of a waiver or consent in respect of a due-on-sale or due-on-encumbrance provision the Master Servicer (with the written consent of the Special Servicer, which consent shall be deemed given if not denied within 15 Business Days (or such other time as required by the related Co-Lender Agreement, but in no event less than 5 Business Days after the time period set forth in such Co-Lender Agreement for review by any related Companion Loan Holder) after the Special Servicer’s receipt (unless earlier objected to) of the written recommendation and analysis of the Master Servicer for such action and any additional information reasonably available to the Master Servicer that the Special Servicer may reasonably request for the analysis of such request, which recommendation and information may be delivered in an electronic format reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer) or the Special Servicer, as applicable, has determined, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that the waiver of such restrictions or granting of consent would be in accordance with the Servicing Standard. Promptly after the Master Servicer (with the written consent of the Special Servicer to the extent required in the preceding sentence) or the Special Servicer, as applicable, has made any determination to grant a waiver in respect of a due-on-sale or due-on-encumbrance provision, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall deliver to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, each other party to this Agreement and, for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 11.13 of this Agreement, the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the basis for such determination; provided that, 


 




  





-178-











  






 


notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no such Officer’s Certificate shall be required to be delivered if the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, is granting consent to an assumption pursuant to this Section 3.09(a) in accordance with the terms of the related Loan Documents and there is no material waiver of any conditions or any other provisions of the related Loan Documents with respect thereto. With respect to all Serviced Mortgage Loans and each Serviced Loan Combination, the Special Servicer shall, prior to consenting to a proposed action of the Master Servicer pursuant to this Section 3.09, and prior to itself taking such an action, obtain the written consent of the related Directing Holder (unless an applicable Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing), which consent shall be deemed given ten (10) Business Days after receipt (unless earlier objected to) by the related Directing Holder of the written recommendation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, for such action and any additional information the related Directing Holder may reasonably request for the analysis of such request, which recommendation and information may be delivered in an electronic format reasonably acceptable to the related Directing Holder and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable. In addition, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer, as applicable, may waive the rights of the lender or grant its consent under any “due-on-encumbrance” provision unless (1) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall have received a prior written Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such action or (2) the related Serviced Mortgage Loan (including a Serviced Mortgage Loan related to a Serviced Loan Combination) (A) represents less than 2% of the principal balance of all of the Mortgage Loans in the Trust Fund, (B) has a principal balance that is equal to or less than $20,000,000, (C) has a Loan-to-Value Ratio equal to or less than 85% (including any existing and proposed debt), (D) has a Debt Service Coverage Ratio equal to or greater than 1.20x (in each case, determined based upon the aggregate of the Stated Principal Balance of the Serviced Mortgage Loan or related Serviced Loan Combination, as applicable, and the principal amount of the proposed additional lien) and (E) is not one of the 10 largest Mortgage Loans (considering any Cross-Collateralized Group as a single Mortgage Loan) in the Mortgage Pool based on principal balance (although no such Rating Agency Confirmation will be required if such Serviced Mortgage Loan has a principal balance less than $10,000,000). Further, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer, as applicable, may waive the rights of the lender or grant its consent under any “due-on-sale” provision unless the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall have received a prior written Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such action unless the related Serviced Mortgage Loan (including a Serviced Mortgage Loan related to a Serviced Loan Combination) (A) represents less than 5% the principal balance of all of the Mortgage Loans in the Trust Fund, (B) has a principal balance that is equal to or less than $35,000,000 and (C) is not one of the 10 largest Mortgage Loans (considering any Cross-Collateralized Group as a single Mortgage Loan) in the Mortgage Pool based on principal balance (although no such Rating Agency Confirmation will be required if such Serviced Mortgage Loan has a principal balance less than $10,000,000). For the purposes of this Agreement, due-on-sale provisions shall include, without limitation, sale or transfers of Mortgaged Properties, in full or in part, or the sale, transfer, pledge or hypothecation of direct or indirect interests in any Mortgagor or its owner, to the extent prohibited under the related Loan Documents, and due-on-encumbrance provisions shall include, without limitation, any mezzanine/subordinate financing of any Mortgagor or any Mortgaged Property or any sale or transfer of preferred equity in any Mortgagor or its owners, to the extent prohibited under the related Loan Documents.


 




  





-179-











  






 


The Master Servicer (with respect to Performing Serviced Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) shall notify in writing the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, the related Directing Holder (prior to the occurrence and continuance of an applicable Consultation Termination Event), the Operating Advisor (after the occurrence and during the continuance of an applicable Control Termination Event), the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider (for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 11.13 of this Agreement) and, with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, of any assumption or substitution agreement executed pursuant to this Section 3.09(a) and shall forward thereto a copy of such agreement, and shall also deliver an original to the Trustee or the Custodian of the recorded agreement relating to such assumption or substitution within 15 Business Days following the execution and receipt thereof by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable.


 


In connection with any request for a Rating Agency Confirmation from a Rating Agency pursuant to this Section 3.09(a), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall deliver a Review Package to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 11.13 of this Agreement.


 


Further, subject to the terms of the related Loan Documents and applicable law, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall use reasonable efforts to ensure that all costs in connection with any assumption or encumbrance, including any arising from seeking a Rating Agency Confirmation, are paid by the related Mortgagor. To the extent not collected from the related Mortgagor after the use of such efforts, any rating agency charges in connection with the foregoing shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Property Advance (or as an Additional Trust Fund Expense if such Property Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance).


 


To the extent not prohibited by the applicable Loan Documents and applicable law, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, may charge the related Mortgagor a fee in connection with any enforcement or waiver contemplated in this subsection (a); provided that any such fee shall be applied as if it were a Modification Fee and/or Assumption Fee, as applicable, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.


 


(b)         Nothing in this Section 3.09 shall constitute a waiver of the Trustee’s right, as the mortgagee of record, to receive notice of any assumption of a Mortgage Loan, any sale or other transfer of the related Mortgaged Property or the creation of any lien or other encumbrance with respect to such Mortgaged Property.


 


(c)         In connection with the taking of, or the failure to take, any action pursuant to this Section 3.09, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall agree to modify, waive or amend, and no assumption or substitution agreement entered into pursuant to Section 3.09(a) of this Agreement shall contain any terms that are different from, any term of any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan or the related Note, other than pursuant to Section 3.24 of this Agreement.

(d)         With respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than the Outside Serviced Trust Loans) or Serviced Loan Combination which permits release of Mortgaged Properties through defeasance, and to the extent consistent with the terms of the related Loan Documents:


 


(i)          In the event such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination requires that the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee purchase the required “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, or any other securities that comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii), the Master Servicer, an accommodation Mortgagor pursuant to clause (v) below or the Mortgagor shall, at the Mortgagor’s expense (to the extent consistent with the related Loan Documents), purchase or cause the purchase of such obligations in accordance with the terms of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination and deliver to the Master Servicer, in the case of the Mortgagor, or in the case of the Master Servicer, hold the same on behalf of the Trust Fund and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder; provided that, subject to the related Loan Documents, the Master Servicer shall not accept the amounts paid by the related Mortgagor to effect defeasance until acceptable “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, or any other securities that comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii) have been identified, in each case which are acceptable as defeasance collateral under the then most recently published current guidelines of the Rating Agencies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to certain Mortgage Loans originated or acquired by RAIT that are subject to defeasance, RAIT has transferred to a third party or has retained the right to establish or designate the successor borrower (“Loan Seller Defeasance Rights and Obligations”). In the event the Master Servicer receives notice of a defeasance request with respect to a Mortgage Loan that provides for Loan Seller Defeasance Rights and Obligations in the related Loan Documents, the Master Servicer shall provide, within five (5) business days of receipt of such notice, written notice of such defeasance request to RAIT or RAIT’s assignee in the case of the Mortgage Loans for which RAIT is the related Mortgage Loan Seller. Until such time as RAIT provides written notice to the contrary, notice of a defeasance of a Mortgage Loan with Loan Seller Defeasance Rights and Obligations as to which it is the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall be delivered to RAIT Funding, LLC, 2929 Arch Street, 17th Floor, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19104, Attention: Jamie Reyle, Senior Vice President – Chief Legal Officer, fax number: (215) 405-2945, e-mail: jreyle@raitft.com, with a copy to RAIT Funding, LLC, 2929 Arch Street, 17th Floor, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19104, Attention: Scott Davidson, fax number: (215) 405-2945, e-mail: sdavidson@raitft.com.


 


(ii)         The Master Servicer shall require, to the extent the related Loan Documents grant the mortgagee discretion to so require, delivery of an Opinion of Counsel (which shall be an expense of the related Mortgagor to the extent consistent with the related Loan Documents) to the effect that the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders has a first priority security interest in the defeasance deposit and the “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, or any other securities that comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii), and the assignment thereof is valid and enforceable; such opinion, together with any other 


 




  





-181-











  






 


certificates or documents to be required in connection with such defeasance shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Master Servicer.


 


(iii)         The Master Servicer shall obtain, to the extent the related Loan Documents grant the mortgagee discretion to so obtain, a certificate (which shall be an expense of the related Mortgagor to the extent consistent with the related Loan Documents) from an Independent certified public accountant certifying that the “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, or any other securities that comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii), comply with the requirements of the related Loan Agreement or Mortgage.


 


(iv)        To the extent consistent with the related Loan Documents, prior to permitting release of any Mortgaged Properties through defeasance, the Master Servicer shall (at the Mortgagor’s expense) obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation; provided that the Master Servicer shall not be required to obtain such Rating Agency Confirmation from any Rating Agency to the extent that the Master Servicer has delivered a defeasance certificate to such Rating Agency substantially in the form of Exhibit DD to this Agreement for any Mortgage Loan that, at the time of such defeasance, is (x) not one of the ten largest Mortgage Loans by Stated Principal Balance, (y) a Mortgage Loan with a Stated Principal Balance equal to or less than $35,000,000 and (z) a Mortgage Loan that represents less than 5% of the Stated Principal Balance of all Mortgage Loans.


 


(v)         If the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination permits the related Mortgagor or the lender or its designee to cause an accommodation Mortgagor to assume such defeased obligations, the Master Servicer shall, or shall cause the Mortgagor to, establish at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense (and shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the related Mortgagor to consent to such assumption) a special purpose bankruptcy-remote entity to assume such obligations, as to which the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator has received a Rating Agency Confirmation (if such confirmation is required pursuant to the then most recently published guidelines of the Rating Agencies).


 


(vi)        To the extent consistent with the related Loan Documents, the Master Servicer shall require the related Mortgagor to pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the defeasance of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination. In the event that the Mortgagor is not required to pay any such costs and expenses under the terms of the Loan Documents, such costs and expenses shall be Additional Trust Fund Expenses.


 


(vii)       In no event shall the Master Servicer have liability to any party hereto or beneficiary hereof for obtaining a Rating Agency Confirmation (or conditioning approval of defeasance on the delivery of a Rating Agency Confirmation) or for imposing conditions to approval of a defeasance on the satisfaction of conditions that are consistent with the Servicing Standard but are not required under Rating Agency guidelines (provided that this shall not protect the Master Servicer from any liability that may be imposed as a result of the violation of applicable law or the Loan Documents).

(viii)      The Master Servicer may accept as defeasance collateral any “government security,” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation’s Section 1.860G-(2)(a)(8)(ii), notwithstanding any more restrictive requirements in the Loan Documents; provided, that the Master Servicer has received an Opinion of Counsel that acceptance of such defeasance collateral will not endanger the status of either Trust REMIC as a REMIC or result in the imposition of a tax upon either Trust REMIC or the Trust Fund (including but not limited to the tax on “prohibited transactions” as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code, but not including the tax on “net income from foreclosure property” as set forth in Section 860G(c) of the Code).


 


(e)          Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.09, without any other approval or consent, the Master Servicer (for Performing Serviced Loans) or the Special Servicer (for Specially Serviced Loans) may grant and process a Mortgagor’s request for consent to subject the related Mortgaged Property to an immaterial easement, right of way or similar agreement for utilities, access, parking, public improvements or another purpose and may consent to subordination of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination to such easement, right of way or similar agreement; provided that in each case, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, (i) shall have determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such easement, right of way or similar agreement will not materially and adversely affect the operation or value of such Mortgaged Property or the Trust Fund’s interest in the Mortgaged Property and (ii) shall have determined that such easement, right of way or similar agreement will not cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may rely on an Opinion of Counsel in making any such determination under clause (ii) above.


 


Section 3.10     Appraisal Reductions; Realization Upon Defaulted Loans.


 


(a)          Promptly upon the occurrence of an Appraisal Reduction Event with respect to a Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to obtain an updated Appraisal, the costs of which shall be advanced by, and reimbursable to, the Master Servicer as a Property Advance (or shall be an expense of the Trust Fund and paid by the Master Servicer out of the Collection Account if such Property Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance); provided, however, that the Special Servicer shall not be required to obtain an updated Appraisal of any Mortgaged Property with respect to which there exists an Appraisal which is less than nine months old unless the Special Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such previously obtained Appraisal is materially inaccurate. With respect to any Serviced Loan for which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred and still exists, the Special Servicer shall obtain annual letter updates to any updated Appraisal. Any Appraisal prepared in order to determine the Appraisal Reduction Amount with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination shall be delivered by the Special Servicer, upon request, to each related Serviced Companion Loan Holder.


 


The Certificate Principal Amount of each Class of applicable Certificates shall be notionally reduced (solely for purposes of determining the identity of the Non-Reduced Certificates and the Controlling Class, as well as the occurrence of a Controlling Class Representative Control Termination Event) as of any date of determination to the extent of the 


 




  





-183-











  






 


Appraisal Reduction Amount(s) allocated to such Class on the preceding Distribution Date. The aggregate Appraisal Reduction Amount for any Distribution Date shall be applied to notionally reduce the Certificate Principal Amounts of the following Classes of Certificates and Class PEZ Regular Interests in the following order of priority: first, to the Class H Certificates; second, to the Class G Certificates; third, to the Class F Certificates; fourth, to the Class E Certificates; fifth, to the Class D Certificates; sixth, to the Class C Regular Interest (and correspondingly, the Class C Certificates and the Class PEZ Component C, pro rata based on their respective percentage interests therein); seventh, to the Class B Regular Interest (and correspondingly, the Class B Certificates and the Class PEZ Component B, pro rata based on their respective percentage interests therein); eighth, to the Class A-S Regular Interest (and correspondingly, the Class A-S Certificates and the Class PEZ Component A-S, pro rata based on their respective percentage interests therein); and finally, pro rata to the (i) Class A-1 Certificates, (ii) Class A-2 Certificates, (iii) Class A-3 Certificates, (iv) Class A-4 Certificates, (v) Class A-5 Certificates and (vi) Class A-AB Certificates, based on their respective Certificate Principal Amounts (provided in each case that no Certificate Principal Amount in respect of any such Class may be notionally reduced below zero). With respect to any Appraisal Reduction Amount calculated for the purposes of determining the Non-Reduced Certificates or the Controlling Class, as well as the occurrence of a Subordinate Companion Loan Control Termination Event or a Controlling Class Representative Control Termination Event, the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property shall be determined on an “as-is” basis.


 


The Special Servicer shall promptly notify the Certificate Administrator and Master Servicer of the determination of any such Appraisal Reduction Amount, and the Certificate Administrator shall promptly post notice of the determination of any such Appraisal Reduction Amount on the Certificate Administrator’s website.


 


Any Appraisal Reduction Amounts with respect to each Serviced Loan Combination shall be allocated, first, to any related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan (up to the outstanding principal balance thereof), and then, to the related Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s), on a pro rata and pari passu basis in accordance with the respective outstanding principal balances of such related Serviced Mortgage Loan and the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan.


 


The Holders of Certificates representing the majority of the Certificate Principal Amount of any Class of Control Eligible Certificates whose Certificate Principal Amount is notionally reduced to less than 25% of the initial Certificate Principal Amount of that Class as a result of an allocation of an Appraisal Reduction Amount in respect of such Class (such Class, an “Appraised-Out Class”) shall have the right to challenge the Special Servicer’s Appraisal Reduction Amount determination and, at their sole expense, obtain a second Appraisal of any Serviced Loan for which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred (such Holders, the “Requesting Holders”). The Requesting Holders shall cause the Appraisal to be prepared on an “as-is” basis by an Appraiser in accordance with MAI standards, and the Appraisal shall be reasonably acceptable to the Special Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard. The Requesting Holders shall provide the Special Servicer with notice of their intent to challenge the Special Servicer’s Appraisal Reduction Amount determination within 10 days of the Requesting Holders’ receipt of written notice of the determination of such Appraisal Reduction Amount.


 




  





-184-











  






 


An Appraised-Out Class shall be entitled to continue to exercise the rights of the Controlling Class until 10 days following its receipt of written notice of the determination of an Appraisal Reduction Amount, unless the Requesting Holders provide written notice of their intent to challenge such Appraisal Reduction Amount to the Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator within such 10-day period pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph. If the Requesting Holders provide such notice, then the Appraised-Out Class shall be entitled to continue to exercise the rights of the Controlling Class until the earliest of (i) 120 days following the related Appraisal Reduction Event, unless the Requesting Holders provide the second appraisal within such 120-day period, (ii) the determination by the Special Servicer (described below) that a recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount is not warranted or that such recalculation does not result in the Appraised-Out Class remaining the Controlling Class and (iii) the occurrence of a Controlling Class Representative Consultation Termination Event. After the Appraised-Out Class is no longer entitled to exercise the rights of the Controlling Class, the rights of the Controlling Class shall be exercised by the Class of Control Eligible Certificates immediately senior to such Appraised-Out Class, if any, unless a recalculation results in the reinstatement of the Appraised-Out Class as the Controlling Class.


 


In addition to the foregoing, the Holders of Certificates representing the majority of the Certificate Principal Amount of any Appraised-Out Class shall have the right, at their sole expense, to require the Special Servicer to order an additional Appraisal of any Serviced Loan for which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred if an event has occurred at or with regard to the related Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties that would have a material effect on its appraised value, and the Special Servicer shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that such Appraisal is delivered within 30 days from receipt of such Holders’ written request and shall ensure that such Appraisal is prepared on an “as-is” basis by an Appraiser in accordance with MAI standards; provided that the Special Servicer shall not be required to obtain such Appraisal if the Special Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that no events at or with regard to the related Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties have occurred that would have a material effect on such appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties.


 


Upon receipt of an Appraisal provided by, or requested by, Holders of an Appraised-Out Class pursuant to this Section and any other information reasonably requested by the Special Servicer from the Master Servicer reasonably required to calculate or recalculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount, the Special Servicer shall determine, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, whether, based on its assessment of such additional Appraisal, any recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount is warranted and, if so warranted, shall recalculate such Appraisal Reduction Amount based upon such additional Appraisal. If required by any such recalculation, the Appraised-Out Class shall be reinstated as the Controlling Class. The Special Servicer shall promptly deliver notice to the Certificate Administrator of any such determination and recalculation, and the Certificate Administrator shall promptly post such notice to the Certificate Administrator’s Website.


 


Appraisals that are permitted to be presented by, or obtained by the Special Servicer at the request of, Holders of an Appraised-Out Class shall be in addition to any Appraisals that the Special Servicer may otherwise be required to obtain in accordance with the


 




  





-185-











  






 


Servicing Standard or this Agreement without regard to any appraisal requests made by any Holder of an Appraised-Out Class.


 


(b)           In connection with any foreclosure, enforcement of the Loan Documents or other acquisition, the Master Servicer in accordance with Section 3.20 of this Agreement shall pay the out-of-pocket costs and expenses in any such proceedings as a Property Advance unless the Master Servicer determines, in its good faith judgment exercised in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance (in which case such costs shall be an expense of the Trust Fund and paid by the Master Servicer out of the Collection Account). The Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of Advances (with interest at the Advance Rate) made pursuant to the preceding sentence to the extent permitted by Section 3.06(a)(ii) of this Agreement.


 


Subject to Section 3.21 of this Agreement, if the Special Servicer elects to proceed with a non-judicial foreclosure in accordance with the laws of the state where the Mortgaged Property is located, the Special Servicer shall not be required to pursue a deficiency judgment against the related Mortgagor or any other liable party if the laws of the state do not permit such a deficiency judgment after a non-judicial foreclosure or if the Special Servicer determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that the likely recovery if a deficiency judgment is obtained will not be sufficient to warrant the cost, time, expense and/or exposure of pursuing the deficiency judgment and such determination is evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and (prior to the occurrence and continuance of an applicable Consultation Termination Event) the related Directing Holder.


 


In the event that title to any Mortgaged Property (other than any Mortgaged Property related to an Outside Serviced Trust Loan) is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be issued to the Trustee, to a co-trustee or to its nominee (which shall not include the Master Servicer but may be a single member limited liability company owned by the Trust and managed by the Special Servicer) or a separate trustee or co-trustee on behalf of the Trustee as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and on behalf of the holders of the Certificates and, if applicable, and the related Serviced Companion Loan Holders. Notwithstanding any such acquisition of title and cancellation of the related Serviced Mortgage Loan, the related Serviced Mortgage Loan shall (except for purposes of Section 9.01) be considered to be an REO Mortgage Loan held in the Trust Fund until such time as the related REO Property shall be sold by the Trust Fund and shall be reduced only by collections net of expenses.


 


(c)           Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, the Special Servicer shall not acquire for the benefit of the Trust Fund any personal property pursuant to this Section 3.10 unless either:


 


(i)           such personal property is (in the good faith judgment of the Special Servicer) incident to real property (within the meaning of Code Section 856(e)(1)) so acquired by the Special Servicer for the benefit of the Trust Fund; or


 


(ii)           the Special Servicer shall have requested and received an Opinion of Counsel (which opinion shall be an expense of the Trust Fund) to the effect that the


 




  





-186-











  






 


holding of such personal property by the Trust Fund will not cause the imposition of a tax on a Trust REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes at any time that any Certificate is outstanding.


 


(d)          Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, neither the Special Servicer nor the Master Servicer shall, on behalf of the Trust Fund or, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, obtain title to any direct or indirect partnership or membership interest or other equity interest in any Mortgagor pledged pursuant to any pledge agreement, unless the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall have requested and received an Opinion of Counsel (which opinion shall be an expense of the Trust Fund) to the effect that the holding of such partnership or membership interest or other equity interest by the Trust Fund will not cause the imposition of a tax on a Trust REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes at any time that any Certificate is outstanding.


 


(e)          Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall not, on behalf of the Trust Fund or, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holders, obtain title to a Mortgaged Property as a result of foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, obtain title to any direct or indirect partnership or membership interest in any Mortgagor pledged pursuant to a pledge agreement and thereby be the beneficial owner of a Mortgaged Property, and shall not otherwise acquire possession of, or take any other action with respect to, any Mortgaged Property if, as a result of any such action, the Custodian, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders or, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holders, would be considered to hold title to, or be a mortgagee-in-possession of, or to be an “owner” or “operator” of such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended from time to time, or any comparable law, unless the Special Servicer has previously determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard, based on an updated environmental assessment report prepared by an Independent Person who regularly conducts environmental audits, that:


 


(i)           such Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable environmental laws or, if not, after consultation with an environmental consultant, that it would be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder (as a collective whole) to take such actions as are necessary to bring such Mortgaged Property in compliance therewith; and


 


(ii)         there are no circumstances present at such Mortgaged Property relating to the use, management or disposal of any Hazardous Materials for which investigation, testing, monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation could be required under any currently effective federal, state or local law or regulation, or that, if any such Hazardous Materials are present for which such action could be required, after consultation with an environmental consultant, it would be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) (as a collective whole as if the Trust


 




  





-187-











  






 


Fund and, if applicable, any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) constituted a single lender (and, in the case of a Serviced AB Loan Combination, taking into account the subordinate nature of any related Subordinate Companion Loan)) to take such actions with respect to the affected Mortgaged Property as could be required by such law or regulation.


 


In the event that the environmental assessment first obtained by the Special Servicer with respect to a Mortgaged Property indicates that such Mortgaged Property may not be in compliance with applicable environmental laws or that Hazardous Materials may be present but does not definitively establish such fact, the Special Servicer shall cause such further environmental tests to be conducted by an Independent Person who regularly conducts such tests as the Special Servicer shall deem prudent to protect the interests of Certificateholders and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder. Any such tests shall be deemed part of the environmental assessment obtained by the Special Servicer for purposes of this Section 3.10.


 


In the event that the Special Servicer seeks to obtain title to a Mortgaged Property on behalf of the Trust Fund and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, the Special Servicer may, in its discretion, establish a single member limited liability company with the Trust Fund and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder as the sole owner to hold title to such Mortgaged Property.


 


(f)          The environmental assessment contemplated by Section 3.10(e) of this Agreement shall be prepared within three months of the determination that such assessment is required by any Independent Person who regularly conducts environmental audits for purchasers of commercial property where the Mortgaged Property is located, as determined by the Special Servicer in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard and, if applicable, any secured creditor impaired property policy issued on or prior to the Closing Date with respect to any Mortgage Loan (including that the environmental assessment identify any potential pollution conditions (as defined in the environmental insurance policy) with respect to the related Mortgaged Property). The Master Servicer shall advance the cost of preparation of such environmental assessments unless the Master Servicer determines, in its good faith judgment, that such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance (in which case such costs shall be an expense of the Trust Fund and paid by the Master Servicer out of the Collection Account). The Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of Advances (with interest at the Advance Rate) made pursuant to the preceding sentence in the manner set forth in Section 3.06 of this Agreement. Copies of any environmental assessment prepared pursuant to Section 3.10(e) of this Agreement shall be provided to the Certificateholder of any Regular Certificates and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder upon written request to the Special Servicer.


 


(g)          If the Special Servicer determines pursuant to Section 3.10(e)(i) of this Agreement that a Mortgaged Property is not in compliance with applicable environmental laws, but that it is in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, as a collective whole as if the Trust Fund and any related Serviced Companion Holder constituted a single lender (and, in the case of a Serviced AB Loan Combination, taking into account the subordinate nature of any related Subordinate Companion Loan), to take such actions as are necessary to bring such Mortgaged Property in compliance therewith, or if the Special Servicer determines pursuant to Section 3.10(e)(ii) of this Agreement that the 


 




  





-188-











  






 


circumstances referred to therein relating to Hazardous Materials are present, but that it is in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, as a collective whole as if the Trust Fund and any related Serviced Companion Holder constituted a single lender (and, in the case of a Serviced AB Loan Combination, taking into account the subordinate nature of any related Subordinate Companion Loan), to take such action with respect to the containment, clean-up or remediation of Hazardous Materials affecting such Mortgaged Property as is required by law or regulation, then the Special Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, as a collective whole as if the Trust Fund and any related Serviced Companion Holder constituted a single lender (and, in the case of a Serviced AB Loan Combination, taking into account the subordinate nature of any related Subordinate Companion Loan). The Master Servicer shall pay the cost of any such compliance, containment, clean-up or remediation from the Collection Account.


 


(h)           The Special Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer of any abandoned and/or foreclosed properties which require reporting to the IRS and shall provide the Master Servicer with all information regarding forgiveness of indebtedness and required to be reported with respect to any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan which is abandoned or foreclosed and the Master Servicer shall report to the IRS and the related Mortgagor, in the manner required by applicable law, such information and the Master Servicer shall report, via IRS Form 1099C, all forgiveness of indebtedness to the extent such information has been provided to the Master Servicer by the Special Servicer. Upon request, the Master Servicer shall deliver a copy of any such report to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and, if affected, to any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder.


 


Section 3.11     Trustee and Certificate Administrator to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files. Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination or the receipt by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer of a notification that payment in full has been escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall immediately notify the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Custodian and, if affected, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder by delivery of a certification (which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05 of this Agreement have been or will be so deposited) of a Servicing Officer and shall request delivery to it of the Mortgage File. No expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Trust Fund.


 


From time to time upon request of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer and delivery to the Custodian of a Request for Release, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly cause the Custodian to release the Mortgage File (or any portion thereof) designated in such Request for Release to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable. Upon return of the foregoing to the Custodian, or in the event of a liquidation or conversion of the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination into an REO Property, receipt by the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator of a certificate of a Servicing Officer stating that such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination was liquidated and that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such liquidation which are required to be deposited into the Collection Account have been 


 




  





-189-











  






 


so deposited, or that such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination has become an REO Property, the Custodian shall deliver a copy of the Request for Release to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable.


 


Within three (3) Business Days, after receipt of written certification of a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Special Servicer any court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or other documents prepared by the Special Servicer, its agents or attorneys and reasonably acceptable to the Trustee, necessary to the foreclosure or trustee’s sale in respect of a Mortgaged Property or to any legal action brought to obtain judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, or to obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the Loan Documents or otherwise available at law or in equity. Each such certification shall include a request that such pleadings or documents be executed by the Trustee and a statement as to the reason such documents or pleadings are required, and that the execution and delivery thereof by the Trustee will not invalidate or otherwise affect the lien of the Mortgage or other security agreement, except for the termination of such a lien upon completion of the foreclosure or trustee’s sale.


 


If from time to time, pursuant to the terms of the Co-Lender Agreement and the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement related to an Outside Serviced Trust Loan, and as appropriate for enforcing the terms of, or otherwise properly servicing, such Outside Serviced Trust Loan, the related Outside Servicer, the related Outside Special Servicer or other similar party requests delivery to it of the original Note for such Outside Serviced Trust Loan, then such party shall deliver a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto to the Custodian and the Custodian shall release or cause the release of such original Note to the requesting party or its designee. In connection with the release of the original Note for an Outside Serviced Trust Loan in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Custodian shall obtain such documentation as is appropriate to evidence the holding by the related Outside Servicer, the related Outside Special Servicer or such other similar party, as the case may be, of such original Mortgage Note as custodian on behalf of and for the benefit of the Trustee.


 


Section 3.12    Servicing Fees, Trustee/Certificate Administrator Fees and Special Servicing Compensation.


 


(a)           As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be entitled, with respect to each Mortgage Loan and REO Mortgage Loan (including the Outside Serviced Trust Loan but excluding the Outside Serviced Companion Loans) and each Serviced Companion Loan and REO Companion Loan that is included as part of a Serviced Loan Combination and each Interest Accrual Period, to the Servicing Fee, which shall be payable from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account and/or, in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination or portion thereof, the related Loan Combination Custodial Account as set forth in Section 3.06(a)(iii) and Section 3.06(a)(vii) and/or Section 3.06A of this Agreement, as applicable. In addition, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive, as additional servicing compensation, (i) 100% of any Excess Modification Fees with respect to a modification, waiver, extension or amendment of a Performing Serviced Loan agreed to by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.24 of this Agreement that did not require the approval of the Special Servicer, (ii) 50% of any Excess Modification Fees with respect to a modification, waiver, extension or amendment of a Performing Serviced Loan consented to by the Special Servicer

The Special Servicer shall also be entitled to additional servicing compensation in the form of a Liquidation Fee (other than with respect to the Outside Serviced Trust Loans) payable out of the Liquidation Proceeds prior to the deposit of the Net Liquidation Proceeds in the Collection Account or the Loan Combination Custodial Account, as applicable.

Loan Holders, to records relating to the Serviced Companion Loans). Nothing in this Section 3.15 shall detract from the obligation of the Master Servicer and Special Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information with respect to the Mortgagors, and the failure of the Master Servicer and Special Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section 3.15 as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section 3.15.

-199-











  






 


occurrence and continuance of an applicable Consultation Termination Event) shall reasonably agree, regarding the performance and servicing of the applicable Serviced Mortgage Loans and/or related REO Properties for which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, is responsible. In any event, the Operating Advisor and the related Directing Holder agree to identify for the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer in advance (but at least two (2) Business Days prior to the related monthly conference) the applicable Mortgage Loans (or Serviced Loan Combination) and/or REO Properties it intends to discuss. As a condition to such disclosure, the related Directing Holder shall execute a confidentiality agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit M-4 to this Agreement and an Investor Certification.


 


The Master Servicer may (but shall not be required to), in accordance with such rules and procedures as it may adopt in its sole discretion, make available through the Master Servicer’s website or otherwise, any additional information relating to the Mortgage Loans, the Serviced Companion Loans, the related Mortgaged Properties and/or the related Mortgagors that is not Privileged Information, for review by the Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor.


 


After the occurrence and during the continuation of an applicable Control Termination Event, the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Operating Advisor such reports and other information produced or otherwise available to the related Directing Holder or Certificateholders generally, as requested by the Operating Advisor in support of the performance of the Operating Advisor’s obligations under this Agreement in electronic format.


 


The Operating Advisor hereby agrees that it shall use the information provided to it by the Special Servicer solely for purposes of performing its duties as Operating Advisor under this Agreement and shall not disclose such information to any other Person or entity unless pursuant to a Privileged Information Exception.


 


Section 3.16     Title and Management of REO Properties.


 


(a)           In the event that title to any Mortgaged Property (other than a Mortgaged Property with respect to an Outside Serviced Trust Loan) is acquired for the benefit of Certificateholders (or, with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination, for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s)) (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, such Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) constituted a single lender) (either by the Trust Fund or by a single member limited liability company established for that purpose) in foreclosure, by deed in lieu of foreclosure or upon abandonment or reclamation from bankruptcy, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of a nominee of the Trustee (which shall not include the Master Servicer), or a separate trustee or co-trustee, on behalf of the Trust Fund and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holders. The Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund, shall sell any REO Property prior to the close of the third calendar year following the year in which the Lower-Tier REMIC acquires ownership of such REO Property, within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.856-6(b)(1), for purposes of Code Section 860G(a)(8), unless (i) the IRS grants (or does not deny) an extension of time (an “REO Extension”) to sell such REO Property or (ii) the Special Servicer obtains an Opinion of Counsel for the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, addressed to the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator 


 




  





-200-











  






 


and the Trustee, to the effect that the holding by the Lower-Tier REMIC of such REO Property subsequent to the close of the third calendar year following the year in which such acquisition occurred will not result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” (as defined in Code Section 860F) of either Trust REMIC, or cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code for federal income tax purposes at any time that any Lower-Tier Regular Interests or Regular Certificates are outstanding. If the Special Servicer is granted (or is not denied) the REO Extension contemplated by clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence or obtains the Opinion of Counsel contemplated by clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Special Servicer shall sell such REO Property within such longer period as is permitted by such REO Extension or such Opinion of Counsel, as the case may be. Any expense incurred by the Special Servicer in connection with its receiving the REO Extension contemplated by clause (i) of the second preceding sentence or its obtaining the Opinion of Counsel contemplated by clause (ii) of the second preceding sentence shall be an expense of the Trust Fund payable out of the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.06(a) of this Agreement. The Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, shall dispose of any REO Property held by the Trust Fund (i) prior to the last day of such period (taking into account extensions) by which such REO Property is required to be disposed of pursuant to the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence in a manner provided under Section 3.17 of this Agreement and (ii) on the same terms and conditions as if it were the owner of such REO Property. The Special Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(8) or result in the receipt by the Trust Fund of any “income from non-permitted assets” within the meaning of Code Section 860F(a)(2)(B) or (i) endanger the status of either Trust REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon either Trust REMIC or the Trust Fund.


 


(b)           The Special Servicer shall have full power and authority, subject only to the specific requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to do any and all things in connection with any REO Property (other than an REO Property related to an Outside Serviced Trust Loan) as are consistent with the Servicing Standard and the terms of this Agreement, all on such terms and for such period as the Special Servicer deems to be in the best interests of Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder constituted a single lender (and, in the case of a Serviced AB Loan Combination, taking into account the subordinate nature of any related Subordinate Companion Loan)), and, in connection therewith, the Special Servicer shall only agree to the payment of management fees that are consistent with general market standards or to terms that are more favorable. Consistent with the foregoing, the Special Servicer shall cause or permit to be earned with respect to such REO Property any “net income from foreclosure property,” within the meaning of Code Section 860G(c), which is subject to tax under the REMIC Provisions only if it has determined, and has so advised the Certificate Administrator in writing, that the earning of such income on a net after-tax basis could reasonably be expected to result in a greater recovery on behalf of Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, constituted a single lender (and, in the case of a Serviced AB Loan Combination,

taking into account the subordinate nature of any related Subordinate Companion Loan)) than an alternative method of operation or rental of such REO Property that would not be subject to such a tax. The Special Servicer shall segregate and hold all revenues received by it with respect to any REO Property separate and apart from its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain with respect to any REO Property a segregated custodial account (each, an “REO Account”), each of which shall be an Eligible Account and (subject to any changes in the identities of the Special Servicer and/or the Trustee) shall be entitled “Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer, on behalf of Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee, for the benefit of the registered Holders of Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2015-GC27, [IN THE CASE OF AN REO PROPERTY RELATED TO A SERVICED LOAN COMBINATION: and the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, as their interests may appear], REO Account.” The Special Servicer shall be entitled to withdraw for its account any interest or investment income earned on funds deposited in an REO Account to the extent provided in Section 3.07(b) of this Agreement. The Special Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the REO Account within one (1) Business Day after receipt all revenues and proceeds received by it with respect to any REO Property, and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of such REO Property and for other Property Protection Expenses with respect to such REO Property, including:


 


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


 


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


 


(iii)         all costs and expenses reasonable and necessary to protect, maintain, manage, operate, repair and restore any REO Property including, if applicable, the payments of any ground rents in respect of such REO Property; and


 


(iv)         any taxes imposed on either Trust REMIC in respect of net income from foreclosure property in accordance with Section 4.05 of this Agreement.


 


To the extent that such REO Proceeds are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above and the Special Servicer has provided written notice of such shortfall to the Master Servicer at least five (5) Business Days (or, in an emergency situation or on an urgent basis, two (2) Business Days, provided that the written notice sets forth the nature of the emergency or the basis of the urgency) prior to the date that such amounts are due, the Master Servicer shall advance the amount of such shortfall unless the Master Servicer determines, in its good faith business judgment, that such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance (in which case such costs shall be an expense of the Trust Fund and paid by the Master Servicer out of the Collection Account). If the Master Servicer does not make any such Advance in violation of the immediately preceding sentence, the Trustee shall make such Advance unless the Trustee determines that such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely, conclusively, on any determination by the Master Servicer that an Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The Trustee, in determining whether or not a proposed Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall use its good faith business judgment. The Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement 


 




  





-202-











  






 


of such Advances (with interest at the Advance Rate) made pursuant to the preceding sentence, to the extent set forth in Section 3.06 and/or, if applicable, Section 3.06A of this Agreement. The Special Servicer shall withdraw from each REO Account and remit to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account, or, for a Serviced Loan Combination, the related Loan Combination Custodial Account, on a monthly basis prior to the related Master Servicer Remittance Date the Net REO Proceeds, Net Liquidation Proceeds, Net Condemnation Proceeds and Net Insurance Proceeds received or collected from each REO Property during the related Prepayment Period, except that in determining the amount of any such Net REO Proceeds, the Special Servicer may retain in each REO Account reasonable reserves for repairs, replacements and necessary capital improvements and other related expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer shall not:


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


(iv)          Directly Operate or allow any Person to Directly Operate any REO Property on any date more than 90 days after its date of acquisition by the Trust Fund, unless such Person is an Independent Contractor;


 


unless, in any such case, the Special Servicer has requested and received an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Special Servicer, any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee (which opinion shall be an expense of the Trust Fund and, if any related Serviced Companion Loan is part of a REMIC, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder) to the effect that such action will not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(8) (determined without regard to the exception applicable for purposes of Code Section 860D(a)) at any time that it is held by the Trust Fund, in which case the Special Servicer may take such actions as are specified in such Opinion of Counsel.


 


The Special Servicer shall be required to contract with an Independent Contractor, the fees and expenses of which shall be an expense of the Trust Fund and payable out of REO Proceeds, for the operation and management of any REO Property, within 90 days of the Trust Fund’s acquisition thereof (unless the Special Servicer shall have provided the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator with an Opinion of Counsel that the operation and management of any REO Property other than through an Independent Contractor shall not cause such REO Property 


 




  





-203-











  






 


to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(8)) (which opinion shall be an expense of the Trust Fund), provided that:


 


(i)            the terms and conditions of any such contract shall be reasonable and customary for the area and type of property and shall not be inconsistent herewith;


 


(ii)           any such contract shall require, or shall be administered to require, that the Independent Contractor pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the operation and management of such REO Property, including those listed above, and remit all related revenues (net of such costs and expenses) to the Special Servicer as soon as practicable, but in no event later than thirty days following the receipt thereof by such Independent Contractor;


 


(iii)          none of the provisions of this Section 3.16(b) relating to any such contract or to actions taken through any such Independent Contractor shall be deemed to relieve the Special Servicer of any of its duties and obligations to the Trust Fund or the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders and, if applicable, any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder with respect to the operation and management of any such REO Property; and


 


(iv)         the Special Servicer shall be obligated with respect thereto to the same extent as if it alone were performing all duties and obligations in connection with the operation and management of such REO Property.


 


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


 


(c)           When and as necessary, the Special Servicer shall send to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator and the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder (or the master servicer or special servicer for the related Other Securitization Trust on its behalf) a statement prepared by the Special Servicer setting forth the amount of net income or net loss, as determined for federal income tax purposes, resulting from the operation and management of a trade or business on, the furnishing or rendering of a non-customary service to the tenants of, or the receipt of any other amount not constituting Rents from Real Property in respect of, any REO Property in accordance with Section 3.16(a) and Section 3.16(b) of this Agreement.


 


(d)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Section 3.16 shall not apply to any REO Property related to an Outside Serviced Trust Loan.


 


Section 3.17     Sale of Defaulted Loans and REO Properties; Sale of Outside Serviced Trust Loans.


 


(a)           The parties hereto may sell or purchase, or permit the sale or purchase of, a Mortgage Loan (excluding an Outside Serviced Trust Loan) only (i) on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 3.17, (ii) as otherwise expressly provided in or contemplated by Sections 2.03 and 9.01 of this Agreement, or (iii) (A) in the case of a Mortgage

Loan related to a Serviced Loan Combination in accordance with and subject to the provisions of the related Co-Lender Agreement and Section 3.28 of this Agreement and (B) in the case of a Mortgage Loan with a related mezzanine loan or subordinate mortgage loan, in accordance with and subject to the provisions of the related intercreditor agreement.


 


(b)           Promptly upon a Serviced Loan becoming a Defaulted Loan and if the Special Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that it would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, in the case of a Serviced Pari Passu Loan Combination, any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, in the case of a Serviced Pari Passu Loan Combination, any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder, constituted a single lender) to attempt to sell such Defaulted Loan, the Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to solicit offers for such Defaulted Loan on behalf of the Certificateholders and, if applicable, any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder in such manner as will be reasonably likely to realize a fair price. Subject to the other subsections of this Section 3.17, the Special Servicer shall accept the first (and, if multiple offers are contemporaneously received, the highest) cash offer received from any Person that constitutes a fair price for such Defaulted Loan. The Special Servicer shall notify the Controlling Class Representative or the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Controlling Note Holder, as applicable (in any event, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Controlling Class Representative Consultation Termination Event or a Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Consultation Termination Event, as applicable), the Operating Advisor (after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Controlling Class Representative Control Termination Event or a Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Control Termination Event, as applicable) of any inquiries or offers received regarding the sale of any Defaulted Loan. Any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan that is part of a Defaulted Serviced Loan Combination is to be sold together with the related Mortgage Loan, subject to this Section 3.17 and any additional requirements set forth in the related Co-Lender Agreement.


 


(c)           The Special Servicer shall give the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder (in the case of a Serviced Pari Passu Loan Combination), the Controlling Class Representative or the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Controlling Note Holder, as applicable (prior to the occurrence and continuance of an applicable Controlling Class Representative Consultation Termination Event) and the Operating Advisor (after the occurrence and during the continuance of an applicable Controlling Class Representative Control Termination Event) not less than five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to sell any Defaulted Loan. No Interested Person shall be obligated to submit an offer to purchase any Defaulted Loan, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither the Trustee, in its individual capacity, nor any of its Affiliates may offer to purchase, or purchase any Defaulted Loan pursuant hereto.


 


(d)           Whether any cash offer constitutes a fair price for any Defaulted Loan for purposes of Section 3.17(b) of this Agreement shall be determined by the Special Servicer, if the highest offeror is a Person other than an Interested Person, and by the Trustee, if the highest offeror is an Interested Person (provided that the Trustee may not be an offeror); provided, however, that no offer from an Interested Person shall constitute a fair price unless (i) it is the highest offer received and (ii) at least two other offers are received from independent third parties. In all cases under this Agreement, in determining whether any offer received from an 


 




  





-205-











  






 


Interested Person represents a fair price for any Defaulted Loan, the Trustee shall be supplied with and shall rely on the most recent Appraisal or updated Appraisal conducted in accordance with this Agreement within the preceding 9-month period or, in the absence of any such Appraisal, on a new Appraisal. The appraiser conducting any such new Appraisal shall be an Appraiser selected by (i) the Special Servicer if no Interested Person is offering with respect to a Defaulted Loan and (ii) the Trustee if an Interested Person is so offering. The cost of any such Appraisal shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable to, the Master Servicer as a Property Advance. In determining whether any such offer from a Person other than an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for any such Defaulted Loan, the Special Servicer shall take into account (in addition to the results of any Appraisal, updated Appraisal or narrative Appraisal that it may have obtained pursuant to this Agreement within the prior 9 months), and in determining whether any offer from an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for any such Defaulted Loan, any Appraiser shall be instructed to take into account, as applicable, among other factors, the period and amount of any delinquency on such Defaulted Loan, the occupancy level and physical condition of the related Mortgaged Property and the state of the local economy. The Purchase Price for any Defaulted Loan (and any equivalent amount for any related Serviced Companion Loan) shall in all cases be deemed a fair price; provided, however, that with respect to Interested Parties, the requirements of the proviso to the first sentence of this Section 3.17(d) must be satisfied. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 3.17(d) to the contrary, if the Trustee is required to determine whether a cash offer by an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for the subject Defaulted Loan, the Trustee may (at its option and at the expense of the Interested Person) designate an independent third party expert in real estate or commercial mortgage loan matters with at least five (5) years’ experience in valuing or investing in mortgage loans similar to such Defaulted Loan that has been selected with reasonable care by the Trustee to determine if such cash offer constitutes a fair price for such Defaulted Loan. If the Trustee designates such a third party to make such determination, the Trustee will be entitled to rely conclusively upon such third party’s determination. The reasonable costs of all appraisals, inspection reports and broker opinions of value incurred by any such third party pursuant to this Section 3.17(d) will be covered by, and will be reimbursable by the Interested Person; provided that the Trustee will not engage a third party expert whose fees exceed a commercially reasonable amount as determined by the Trustee.


 


(e)           Subject to Section 3.17(a) through Section 3.17(d), Section 3.17(f), Section 3.17(g) and Section 3.17(m), the Special Servicer shall act on behalf of the Trust Fund and any affected Serviced Companion Loan Holder in negotiating and taking any other action necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of any Defaulted Loan, and the collection of all amounts payable in connection therewith. In connection therewith, the Special Servicer may charge prospective offerors, and may retain, fees that approximate the Special Servicer’s actual costs in the preparation and delivery of information pertaining to such sales or exchanging offers without obligation to deposit such amounts into the Collection Account or, if applicable, the Loan Combination Custodial Account. Any sale of any Defaulted Loan shall be final and without recourse to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Trust Fund (except such recourse to the Trust Fund imposed by those representations and warranties typically given in such transactions, any appropriations applied thereto and any customary closing matters), and if such sale is consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, none of the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating

Advisor or the Trustee shall have any liability to any Certificateholder with respect to the purchase price therefor accepted by the Special Servicer or the Trustee.


 


(f)           Subject to (x) the rights of a holder of a mezzanine loan, under the respective intercreditor agreement, and (y) the rights of a Subordinate Companion Loan Holder, under the respective Co-Lender Agreement, to purchase a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination (or senior portion thereof), unless and until a Defaulted Loan is sold pursuant to this Section, the Special Servicer shall continue to service and administer such Defaulted Loan in accordance with the Servicing Standard and this Agreement and shall pursue such other resolutions or recovery strategies including workout, foreclosure or sale of such Defaulted Loan, as is consistent with this Agreement and the Servicing Standard.


 


(g)           Any sale of a Defaulted Loan pursuant to this Section 3.17 shall be for cash only. The purchase price for any Defaulted Loan purchased under this Section 3.17 or any Outside Serviced Trust Loan sold in accordance with the related Co-Lender Agreement or Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, shall be deposited into the Collection Account or the related Loan Combination Custodial Account, as applicable, and the Certificate Administrator, upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate from the Master Servicer to the effect that such deposit has been made, shall release or cause to be released to the purchaser of the Defaulted Loan the related Mortgage File, and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in such purchaser ownership of such Defaulted Loan. In connection with any such purchase, the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer shall deliver the related Servicing File (to the extent either has possession of such file) to such purchaser.


 


(h)           The parties hereto may sell or purchase, or permit the sale or purchase of, an REO Property (other than an REO Property related to an Outside Serviced Trust Loan) only on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 3.17.


 


(i)            The Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to solicit offers for each REO Property (other than an REO Property related to an Outside Serviced Trust Loan) on behalf of the Certificateholders and the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder in such manner as will be reasonably likely to realize a fair price within the time period specified by Section 3.16 of this Agreement. Subject to Section 3.17(m) of this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall accept the first (and, if multiple offers are contemporaneously received, highest) cash offer received from any Person that constitutes a fair price for such REO Property. If the Special Servicer determines, in its good faith and reasonable judgment, that it will be unable to realize a fair price for any REO Property (other than an REO Property related to an Outside Serviced Trust Loan) within the time constraints imposed by Section 3.16 of this Agreement, then the Special Servicer shall dispose of such REO Property upon such terms and conditions as the Special Servicer shall deem necessary and desirable to maximize the recovery thereon under the circumstances and, in connection therewith, shall accept the highest outstanding cash offer, regardless from whom received. The Liquidation Proceeds (net of related Liquidation Expenses) for any REO Property sold hereunder shall be deposited in the Collection Account or, if applicable, the related Loan Combination Custodial Account. The Special Servicer shall notify the Controlling Class Representative or the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Controlling Note Holder, as applicable (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Controlling Class Representative Consultation

Termination Event or a Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Consultation Termination Event, as applicable), the Operating Advisor (after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Controlling Class Representative Control Termination Event or a Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Control Termination Event, as applicable) and, in the case of a Serviced Pari Passu Loan Combination, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder of any inquiries or offers received regarding the sale of any REO Property hereunder.


 


(j)            The Special Servicer shall give the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, the related Directing Holder (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event with respect to the related Mortgage Loan) and the Operating Advisor (after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event with respect to the related Mortgage Loan) not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to sell any REO Property (other than an REO Property related to an Outside Serviced Trust Loan) hereunder. No Interested Person shall be obligated to submit an offer to purchase any REO Property, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither the Trustee, in its individual capacity, nor any of its Affiliates may offer to purchase, or purchase, any REO Property pursuant hereto.


 


(k)           Whether any cash offer constitutes a fair price for any REO Property (other than an REO Property related to an Outside Serviced Trust Loan) for purposes of Section 3.17(i) of this Agreement shall be determined by the Special Servicer, if the highest offeror is a Person other than an Interested Person, and by the Trustee, if the highest offeror is an Interested Person (provided that the Trustee may not be an offeror); provided, however, that no offer from an Interested Person shall constitute a fair price unless (i) it is the highest offer received and (ii) at least two other offers are received from independent third parties. In determining whether any offer received from an Interested Person represents a fair price for any such REO Property, the Trustee shall be supplied with and shall rely on the most recent Appraisal or updated Appraisal conducted in accordance with this Agreement within the preceding 9-month period or, in the absence of any such Appraisal, on a new Appraisal. The appraiser conducting any such new Appraisal shall be an Appraiser selected by the Special Servicer if no Interested Person is offering with respect to such REO Property and selected by the Trustee if an Interested Person is so offering. The cost of any such Appraisal shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable to, the Master Servicer as a Property Advance. In determining whether any such offer from a Person other than an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for any such REO Property, the Special Servicer shall take into account (in addition to the results of any Appraisal, updated Appraisal or narrative Appraisal that it may have obtained pursuant to this Agreement within the prior 9 months), and in determining whether any offer from an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for any such REO Property, any Appraiser shall be instructed to take into account, as applicable, among other factors, the period and amount of any delinquency on the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, the occupancy level and physical condition of such REO Property, the state of the local economy and the obligation to dispose of such REO Property within the time period specified in Section 3.16 of this Agreement. The Purchase Price for any such REO Property shall in all cases be deemed a fair price; provided, however, that with respect to Interested Parties, the requirements of the proviso to the first sentence of this Section 3.17(k) must be satisfied.

(l)            Subject to Section 3.17(a) through Section 3.17(k) and Section 3.17(m) of this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall act on behalf of the Trust Fund and any affected Serviced Companion Loan Holder in negotiating and taking any other action necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of any Defaulted Loan or REO Property (other than an REO Property related to an Outside Serviced Trust Loan), and the collection of all amounts payable in connection therewith. In connection therewith, the Special Servicer may charge prospective offerors, and may retain, fees that approximate the Special Servicer’s actual costs in the preparation and delivery of information pertaining to such sales or exchanging offers without obligation to deposit such amounts into the Collection Account or, if applicable, the related Loan Combination Custodial Account. Any sale of any Defaulted Loan or REO Property (other than an REO Property related to an Outside Serviced Trust Loan) shall be final and without recourse to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Trust Fund or any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder (except such recourse to the Trust Fund and the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder imposed by those representations and warranties typically given in such transactions, any appropriations applied thereto and any customary closing matters), and if such sale is consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, none of the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor or the Trustee shall have any liability to any Certificateholder with respect to the purchase price therefor accepted by the Special Servicer or the Trustee.


 


(m)          Notwithstanding any of the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 3.17, the Special Servicer shall not be obligated to accept the highest cash offer for a Defaulted Loan if the Special Servicer determines (in consultation with the Controlling Class Representative (unless a Controlling Class Representative Consultation Termination Event exists or the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Loan Combination is involved) or the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Controlling Note Holder (if the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Loan Combination is involved and a Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Consultation Termination Event does not exist)), in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, in the case of a Serviced Pari Passu Loan Combination, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) constituted a single lender), and the Special Servicer may accept a lower cash offer (from any Person other than itself or an Affiliate) if it determines, in its reasonable and good faith judgment, that acceptance of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, in the case of a Serviced Pari Passu Loan Combination, any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) constituted a single lender) (for example, if the prospective buyer making the lower offer is more likely to perform its obligations or the terms offered by the prospective buyer making the lower offer are more favorable).


 


Notwithstanding any of the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 3.17, the Special Servicer shall not be obligated to accept the highest cash offer for an REO Property (other than an REO Property related to an Outside Serviced Trust Loan) if the Special Servicer determines (in consultation with the related Directing Holder (unless an applicable Consultation Termination Event exists)), in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, in the case of an REO Property that corresponds to a Serviced Loan Combination, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s)

(as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, any Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) constituted a single lender (and, in the case of a Serviced AB Loan Combination, taking into account the subordinate nature of the related Subordinate Companion Loan)), and the Special Servicer may accept a lower cash offer (from any Person other than itself or an Affiliate) if it determines, in its reasonable and good faith judgment, that acceptance of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, in the case of an REO Property that corresponds to a Serviced Loan Combination, any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) constituted a single lender (and, in the case of a Serviced AB Loan Combination, taking into account the subordinate nature of the related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan)) (for example, if the prospective buyer making the lower offer is more likely to perform its obligations or the terms offered by the prospective buyer making the lower offer are more favorable).


 


(n)           In no event shall the Trust Fund or the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer on the Trust’s behalf purchase, or pay or advance costs to purchase, any Outside Serviced Trust Loan, or any Companion Loan or any Mortgage Loan.


 


(o)           Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any party identified in the related Co-Lender Agreement or Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement (which, if the identified party is the holder of an Outside Serviced Trust Loan, shall mean the Controlling Class Certificateholder for so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing), in its individual capacity and not on behalf of the Trust, shall be entitled to purchase an Outside Serviced Trust Loan in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the related Co-Lender Agreement and Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Special Servicer shall not sell the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Loan Combination if it becomes a Defaulted Serviced Loan Combination without the written consent of the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Non-Controlling Note Holder (whose rights in such regard will be exercised by the Controlling Class Representative unless a Controlling Class Representative Control Termination Event exists), or the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Controlling Note Holder (provided that such consent is not required if the consenting party is the related Mortgagor or an Affiliate of the related Mortgagor) unless the Special Servicer has delivered to each of the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Non-Controlling Note Holder and the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Controlling Note Holder: (a) at least 15 Business Days prior written notice of any decision to attempt to sell such Defaulted Serviced Loan Combination; (b) at least 10 days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of each bid package (together with any material amendments to such bid packages) received by the Special Servicer in connection with any such proposed sale; (c) at least 10 days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of the most recent appraisal for the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Loan Combination, and any documents in the Servicing File reasonably requested by the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Non-Controlling Note Holder and the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Controlling Note Holder that are material to the price of the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Loan Combination; and (d) until the sale is completed, and a reasonable period of time (but no less time than is afforded to other offerors, the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Non-Controlling Note Holder and the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Controlling Note Holder) prior to the proposed sale date, all information and other documents being provided to other offerors and all leases or other documents that are approved by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in connection with the proposed sale; provided, that the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Non-Controlling Note Holder and the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Controlling Note Holder may waive any of the delivery or timing requirements set forth in this sentence. The Controlling Class Representative and the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Controlling Note Holder will be permitted to make offers to purchase, and any such party is permitted to be the purchaser at any sale of, such Defaulted Serviced Loan Combination unless such Person is the related Mortgagor or an agent or Affiliate of the related Mortgagor.


 


With respect to each Serviced AB Loan Combination, if such Serviced AB Loan Combination becomes a Defaulted Serviced Loan Combination, and if the Special Servicer determines to sell the related Serviced Mortgage Loan in accordance with this Section 3.17, then the Special Servicer shall be permitted to sell the related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan together with such Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan as one whole loan in accordance with this Agreement and the related Co-Lender Agreement, provided that the Special Servicer has received prior written consent from the holder of such Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan.


 


(r)           With respect to any Outside Serviced Trust Loan upon becoming a “Defaulted Mortgage Loan” (as such term or any analogous term is defined pursuant to the terms of the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement), and with respect to any REO Property related to an Outside Serviced Trust Loan, the liquidation of such Outside Serviced Trust Loan or such REO Property shall be administered by the related Outside Special Servicer 


 




  





-211-











  






 


in accordance with the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the related Co-Lender Agreement. Any such sale of an Outside Serviced Trust Loan or any related REO Property pursuant to the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement and/or the related Co-Lender Agreement shall be final and without recourse to the Trustee or the Trust, and none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee shall have any liability to any Certificateholder with respect to the purchase price for such Outside Serviced Trust Loan or such REO Property accepted on behalf of the Trust. Any proceeds of such a sale received by the Trust Fund shall be promptly deposited in the Collection Account.


 


Section 3.18    Additional Obligations of the Master Servicer; Inspections; Obligation to Notify Ground Lessors; Delivery of Certain Reports to the Serviced Companion Loan Holder.


 


(a)           The Master Servicer (or, with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties, the Special Servicer) shall inspect or cause to be inspected each Mortgaged Property that secures a Serviced Loan at such times and in such manner as are consistent with the Servicing Standard, but in any event at least once every calendar year with respect to such Mortgaged Property relating to Serviced Mortgage Loans with an outstanding principal balance of $2,000,000 or more and at least once every other calendar year with respect to such Mortgaged Property relating to Serviced Mortgage Loans with an outstanding principal balance of less than $2,000,000, in each case commencing in 2016; provided that the Master Servicer is not required to inspect any Mortgaged Property that has been inspected by the Special Servicer during the preceding 12 months. If any Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination becomes a Specially Serviced Loan, the related Mortgaged Property shall be inspected by the Special Servicer as soon as practicable and thereafter at least every calendar year for so long as such condition exists. The cost of any annual inspection, or bi-annual inspection, as the case may be, shall be borne by the Master Servicer unless the related Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination is a Specially Serviced Loan. The Master Servicer shall reimburse the Special Servicer for the cost of any inspection of a Specially Serviced Loan as a Property Advance (or as an expense of the Trust Fund and paid by the Master Servicer out of the Collection Account if such Property Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance) and any out-of-pocket costs incurred with respect to such inspection shall be borne by the Trust Fund.


 


(b)           The Master Servicer shall, as to each Mortgage Loan (excluding an Outside Serviced Trust Loan) which is secured by the interest of the related Mortgagor under a Ground Lease, even if the corresponding fee interest is encumbered, promptly (and in any event within 60 days following the later of the Closing Date or its receipt of a copy of the Ground Lease) notify the related ground lessor of the transfer of such Mortgage Loan to the Trust Fund pursuant to this Agreement and inform such ground lessor that any notices of default under the related Ground Lease should thereafter be forwarded to the Master Servicer.


 


(c)           The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each promptly prepare or cause to be prepared and deliver to each Serviced Companion Loan Holder a written report, prepared in the manner set forth in Section 4.02, of each inspection performed by it with respect to the related Mortgaged Property and Serviced Companion Loan related thereto.

(d)           The Master Servicer is hereby authorized to exercise any rights granted under the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement in favor of the Trust (or a party on its behalf) as the holder of each Outside Serviced Trust Loan to obtain information from the related Outside Servicer (or other similar parties with an obligation to make advances) in connection with making nonrecoverability determinations. The Master Servicer shall promptly deliver to any related Outside Servicer, upon request, such information in the Master Servicer’s possession as the related Outside Servicer reasonably requests in order to determine whether an advance similar to a P&I Advance would be “nonrecoverable.”


 


(e)           If required under the related Co-Lender Agreement, the Master Servicer shall promptly deliver to each Serviced Companion Loan Holder or provide electronically: (i) copies of operating statements and rent rolls; (ii) annual CREFC® NOI Adjustment Worksheets (with annual operating statements as exhibits); and (iii) annual CREFC® Operating Statement Analysis Reports, in each case prepared, received or obtained by it pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Mortgaged Properties securing the related Serviced Companion Loan.


 


Section 3.19     Lock-Box Accounts, Escrow Accounts.


 


Except with respect to the Outside Serviced Trust Loans, the Master Servicer shall administer each Lock-Box Account and Escrow Account in accordance with the related Mortgage or Loan Agreement or Lock-Box Agreement, if any, and administer any letters of credit pursuant to the related letter of credit agreement and the Loan Documents.


 


Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any cash amounts are held in an Escrow Account or other cash collateral account and the mortgagee under the related Loan Documents is permitted, but not required, to apply such amounts to prepay the related Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Loan Combination), neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall apply such amounts to prepay the Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Loan Combination) until after the occurrence of an event of default under the Mortgage Loan that may result in the Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Loan Combination) being accelerated or becoming a Specially Serviced Loan.


 


Section 3.20     Property Advances.


 


(a)           Except with respect to an Outside Serviced Trust Loan, the Master Servicer (or, to the extent provided in Section 3.20(b) of this Agreement, the Trustee) shall make any Property Advances as and to the extent incidental to the performance of its duties under this Agreement or otherwise required pursuant to the terms hereof. The Special Servicer shall give the Master Servicer, the Trustee and any affected Serviced Companion Loan Holder not less than five (or, in the case of emergency advances pursuant to Section 3.20(e) of this Agreement, two) Business Days’ written notice before the date on which the Master Servicer is requested to make any Property Advance with respect to a given Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property (other than an REO Property related to an Outside Serviced Trust Loan). In addition, the Special Servicer shall provide the Master Servicer, the Trustee and any affected Serviced Companion Loan Holder with such information in its possession as the Master Servicer, the Trustee or such Serviced Companion Loan Holder, as applicable, may reasonably request to enable the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, to determine whether a requested Property Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. Any such notice by the Special Servicer to the Master 


 




  





-213-











  






 


Servicer of a required Property Advance shall be deemed to be a determination by the Special Servicer that such requested Property Advance is not a Nonrecoverable Advance, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such determination. In the absence of a determination by the Special Servicer that a Property Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, all determinations of recoverability with respect to Property Advances to be made (or contemplated to be made) by the Master Servicer or the Trustee will remain with the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable. On the fourth Business Day before each Distribution Date, the Special Servicer shall report to the Master Servicer the Special Servicer’s determination as to whether any Property Advance previously made with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan is a Nonrecoverable Advance promptly after making such determination. The Master Servicer and the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on and shall be bound by such a determination and shall be bound by a determination by the Special Servicer that a Property Advance previously made or contemplated to be made with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan is or would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. Although the Special Servicer may determine whether a Property Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Special Servicer will have no right to (i) make an affirmative determination that any Property Advance previously made or to be made (or contemplated to be made) by the Master Servicer or the Trustee is, or would be, recoverable or (ii) reverse any determination that may have been made by the Master Servicer or the Trustee or to prohibit the Master Servicer or the Trustee from making a determination that any Property Advance constitutes or would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance; provided that this sentence will not be construed to limit the Special Servicer’s right to make a determination that a Property Advance to be made (or contemplated to be made) would be, or a previously made Advance is, a Nonrecoverable Advance, as described in this Section 3.20. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall consider Unliquidated Advances in respect of prior Property Advances for the purposes of non-recoverability determinations as if such amounts were unreimbursed Property Advances.


 


For purposes of distributions to Certificateholders and Serviced Companion Loan Holders and compensation to the Master Servicer or the Trustee, Property Advances shall not be considered to increase the principal balance of any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination so provide.


 


(b)           The Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder in writing promptly upon, and in any event within one (1) Business Day after, becoming aware that it will be unable to make any Property Advance required to be made pursuant to the terms hereof, and in connection therewith, shall set forth in such notice the amount of such Property Advance, the Person to whom it will be paid, and the circumstances and purpose of such Property Advance, and shall set forth therein information and instructions for the payment of such Property Advance, and, on the date specified in such notice for the payment of such Property Advance, or, if the date for payment has passed or if no such date is specified, then within five (5) Business Days following such notice, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 3.20(c) of this Agreement, shall pay the amount of such Property Advance in accordance with such information and instructions. Any notice to the Trustee pursuant to this Section shall be deemed to be given to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee if made in accordance with Section 11.04 of this Agreement.

(c)           Neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall be obligated to make a Property Advance as to any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination or REO Property if the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, determines that such Advance will be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The determination by any Person with an obligation hereunder to make Property Advances that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed Property Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance or a determination by the Special Servicer that a Property Advance previously made or proposed to be made is or would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be made by such Person (i) in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, in accordance with the Servicing Standard and (ii) in the case of the Trustee, in accordance with its good faith business judgment and shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered on or prior to the next Master Servicer Remittance Date to (1) the affected Serviced Companion Loan Holders or their Companion Loan Holder representatives (and the related subsequent master servicer and special servicer, if applicable), in the case of any Serviced Loan Combination, (2) the Trustee (unless it is the Person making the determination), (3) the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Controlling Class Representative Control Termination Event), (4) in the case of a Property Advance with respect to the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Loan Combination, the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Controlling Note Holder (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Consultation Termination Event), (5) the Master Servicer (unless it is the Person making the determination), (6) the Special Servicer (unless it is the Person making the determination), and (7) the Depositor (if the Trustee is making the determination), setting forth the basis for such determination, together with any other information that supports such determination together with a copy of any Appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property, as the case may be (which Appraisal shall be an expense of the Trust Fund, shall take into account any material change in circumstances of which such Person is aware or such Person has received new information, either of which has a material effect on the value and shall have been conducted in accordance with the standards of the Appraisal Institute within the twelve months preceding such determination of nonrecoverability), and further accompanied by related Mortgagor operating statements and financial statements, budgets and rent rolls of the related Mortgaged Property (to the extent available and/or in such Person’s possession) and any engineers’ reports, environmental surveys or similar reports that such Person may have obtained and that support such determination. In connection with a determination by the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Trustee as to whether a Property Advance previously made or to be made constitutes or would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance:


 


(A)       any such Person will be entitled to consider (among other things) the obligations of the Mortgagor under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination as it may have been modified, to consider (among other things) the related Mortgaged Properties in their “as is” or then current conditions and occupancies, as modified by such party’s assumptions regarding the possibility and effects of future adverse change with respect to such Mortgaged Properties, to estimate and consider (among other things) future expenses and to estimate and consider (among other things) the timing of recoveries;


 




  





-215-











  






 


(B)        any such Person may update or change its recoverability determinations at any time (but not reverse any other Person’s determination that an Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance) and may obtain at the expense of the Trust Fund any analysis, Appraisals or market value estimates or other information as reasonably may be required for such purposes;


 


(C)        the Special Servicer may, at its option, make a determination in accordance with the Servicing Standard that any proposed Property Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any outstanding Property Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance and may deliver to the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Controlling Class Representative Consultation Termination Event) and, in the case of a Property Advance with respect to the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Loan Combination, the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Controlling Note Holder (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Consultation Termination Event) notice of such determination, which determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Master Servicer and the Trustee (but this statement shall not be construed to entitle the Special Servicer to reverse any other authorized Person’s determination, or to prohibit any such other authorized Person from making a determination, that a Property Advance constitutes or would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance);


 


(D)        the Trustee shall be entitled to rely, conclusively, on any determination by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer that a Property Advance is or, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to rely, conclusively, on any determination by the Special Servicer that a Property Advance is or, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance;


 


(E)        any non-recoverability determination by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to this Section 3.20 with respect to the non-recoverability of Property Advances shall be conclusive and binding on the Master Servicer (in the case of such a determination by the Special Servicer) and the Trustee; and


 


(F)        notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee may conclusively rely upon any determination by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer that any Property Advance would be recoverable (unless a non-recoverability determination has been made by the other servicer in accordance with clause (E) above which is binding on the Trustee), and the Master Servicer may conclusively rely upon any determination by the Special Servicer that any Property Advance would be recoverable.


 


(d)           The Master Servicer and/or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to the reimbursement of Property Advances made by any of them to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 3.06(a)(ii) or Section 3.06A(a)(ii) of this Agreement, together with any related Advance Interest Amount in respect of such Property Advances, and the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, hereby covenant and agree to use efforts consistent with the 


 




  





-216-











  






 


Servicing Standard to obtain the reimbursement of such Property Advances from the related Mortgagors to the extent permitted by applicable law and the related Loan Documents.


 


(e)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if a Property Advance is required to be made under this Agreement with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property (other than an REO Property related to an Outside Serviced Trust Loan), the Special Servicer shall request that the Master Servicer make such Property Advance, such request to be made, in writing, at least five (5) Business Days (or, in an emergency situation or on an urgent basis, two (2) Business Days, provided that the written request sets forth the nature of the emergency or the basis of the urgency) in advance of the date on which such Property Advance is required to be made hereunder and to be accompanied by such information and documentation regarding the subject Property Advance as the Master Servicer may reasonably request, subject to the Master Servicer’s right to determine that such Property Advance does not constitute or would not constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. The Master Servicer shall have the obligation to make any such Property Advance that it is so requested by the Special Servicer to make, within five (5) Business Days (or, in an emergency situation or on an urgent basis, two (2) Business Days) of the Master Servicer’s receipt of such request. The Special Servicer shall have no obligation to make any Property Advance. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for any Advance made by it at the direction of the Special Servicer, together with interest thereon at the same time, in the same manner and to the same extent as the Master Servicer is entitled with respect to any other Advances made thereby.

-218-











  






 


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


 


For so long as an applicable Control Termination Event has not occurred and is not continuing, if within 10 Business Days of receiving an Asset Status Report, the related Directing Holder does not disapprove such Asset Status Report in writing, then such Directing Holder shall be deemed to have approved such Asset Status Report and the Special Servicer shall implement the recommended action as outlined in such Asset Status Report; provided, however, that the Special Servicer may not take any action that is contrary to applicable law, the Servicing Standard or the terms of the applicable Loan Documents. If, prior to the occurrence and continuance of any applicable Control Termination Event, the related Directing Holder disapproves such Asset Status Report within 10 Business Days of receipt, the Special Servicer will revise such Asset Status Report and deliver to the Operating Advisor (after the occurrence and during the continuance of an applicable Control Termination Event), the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of an applicable Consultation Termination Event), the Certificate Administrator, any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) (in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination) and, for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 11.13 of this Agreement, the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider a new Asset Status Report as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 30 days after such disapproval. Prior to the occurrence and continuance of any applicable Control Termination Event, the Special Servicer shall revise such Asset Status Report as described above until the related Directing Holder shall fail to disapprove such revised Asset Status Report in writing within 10 Business Days of receiving such revised Asset Status Report or until the Special Servicer makes a determination, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that such objection is not in the best interests of all the Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders, and/or Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s), if applicable, constitute a single lender (and, in the case of a Serviced AB Loan Combination, taking into account the subordinate nature of the related Subordinate Companion Loan)). The Special Servicer may, from time to time, modify any Asset Status Report it has previously delivered and implement such report, provided such report shall have been prepared, reviewed and not rejected pursuant to the terms of this Section. In any event, for so long as an applicable Control Termination Event has not occurred and is not continuing, if the related Directing Holder does not approve an Asset Status Report within 60 Business Days from the first submission thereof, the Special Servicer shall take such action as directed by the related Directing Holder, provided such action does not violate the Servicing Standard. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Special Servicer determines that emergency action is necessary to protect the related Mortgaged Property or the interests of the Certificateholders and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s), or if a failure to take any such action at such time would be inconsistent with the Servicing Standard, the Special Servicer may take actions with respect to the related Mortgaged Property before the expiration of a 10 Business Day period if the Special Servicer reasonably determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that failure to take such actions before the expiration of a 10 Business Day period would materially and adversely affect the interest of the Certificateholders and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) (if applicable) and the Special Servicer has made a reasonable effort, prior to the occurrence and continuance of an applicable Control Termination Event, to contact the related Directing Holder. The foregoing shall not relieve the Special Servicer of its duties to comply with the Servicing Standard.

After the occurrence and during the continuance of an applicable Control Termination Event, the Special Servicer shall consult on a non-binding basis with the Operating Advisor in connection with each Asset Status Report prior to finalizing and executing such Asset Status Report and the Operating Advisor shall propose, by written notice, alternative courses of action within 10 days of receipt of each Asset Status Report to the extent the Operating Advisor determines such alternatives to be in the best interest of the Certificateholders (including any Certificateholders that were previously included in the Control Eligible Classes), as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders constituted a single lender. In addition, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an applicable Control Termination Event, but prior to the occurrence and continuance of an applicable Consultation Termination Event, the Special Servicer shall also consult on a non-binding basis with the related Directing Holder in connection with each related Asset Status Report prior to finalizing and executing such Asset Status Report and the related Directing Holder shall be permitted to propose alternative courses of action within 10 days of receipt of each Asset Status Report. The Special Servicer shall consider any such proposals from (a) the Operating Advisor or (b) the related Directing Holder, as applicable, and determine whether any changes to its proposed Asset Status Report should be made, such determination being made in accordance with the Servicing Standard and the other terms of this Agreement. In the event that the Operating Advisor, the Controlling Class Representative or the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Controlling Note Holder, as applicable, does not propose alternative courses of action within 10 days after receipt of such Asset Status Report, the Special Servicer shall implement the Asset Status Report as proposed by the Special Servicer.


 


Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an applicable Consultation Termination Event, the related Directing Holder shall have no right to receive any Asset Status Report or otherwise consult with the Special Servicer with respect to any matter set forth therein. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an applicable Control Termination Event, the related Directing Holder shall have no right to consent to any Asset Status Report under this Section 3.21(b).


 


(c)           Subject to Section 3.21(b) of this Agreement, during the continuance of a Servicing Transfer Event, the Special Servicer shall have the authority to meet with the related Mortgagors and take any actions consistent with the Servicing Standard and the most recent Asset Status Report for the related Mortgage Loan.


 


(d)           Upon request of any Certificateholder (or any Beneficial Owner, if applicable, which shall have provided the Certificate Administrator with an Investor Certification), the Certificate Administrator shall mail, without charge, to the address specified in such request a copy of the Final Asset Status Report for each Specially Serviced Loan.


 


(e)           Prior to the occurrence and continuance of an applicable Control Termination Event, the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Operating Advisor only each related Final Asset Status Report.


 


(f)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer shall not follow any advice, direction or consultation provided by the Operating Advisor, any Serviced Companion Loan Holder, any Companion Loan Holder Representative or the related Directing Holder that would require or cause the Special Servicer to violate any applicable law, be inconsistent with

In addition, if the related Mortgagor has been instructed, pursuant to the preceding paragraph, to make payments to the Special Servicer, upon such determination, the Special Servicer shall instruct the related Mortgagor to remit all payments in respect of such Specially Serviced Loan directly to the Master Servicer.


 


(b)           In servicing any Specially Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer shall provide to the Custodian originals of documents included within the definition of “Mortgage File” for inclusion in the related Mortgage File (to the extent such documents are in the possession of the Special Servicer) and copies of any additional related Serviced Loan information, including correspondence with the related Mortgagor, and the Special Servicer shall promptly provide copies of all of the foregoing to the Master Servicer as well as copies of any analysis or internal review prepared by or for the benefit of the Special Servicer.

In addition, with respect to Performing Serviced Loans, to the extent any modification, waiver, amendment or other action (i) constitutes a Major Decision pursuant to Section 6.09(a) of this Agreement and/or (ii) is not the responsibility of the Master Servicer pursuant to the last paragraph of this Section 3.24(a), the Master Servicer shall obtain the consent of the Special Servicer, and, in each case, to the extent any modification, waiver, amendment or other action constitutes a Major Decision pursuant to Section 6.09(a) of this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall, prior to the occurrence and continuance of an applicable Control Termination Event, obtain the consent of the related Directing Holder.

-223-











  






 


When the Special Servicer’s consent is required with respect to any modification, waiver, amendment or other action with regard to any Performing Serviced Loan, the Master Servicer shall promptly provide the Special Servicer with written notice of its request for such modification, waiver, amendment or other action, accompanied by the Master Servicer’s written recommendation and analysis and any and all information in the Master Servicer’s possession or reasonably available to it that the Special Servicer or the related Directing Holder may reasonably request in order to withhold or grant its consent, and in all cases the Special Servicer shall be entitled (subject to, in each case if applicable, the consultation rights of the Operating Advisor, the consent and/or consultation rights of the related Directing Holder and/or the consultation rights of any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder or its Companion Loan Holder Representative) to approve or disapprove such modification, waiver, amendment or other action. Subject to Section 3.10 of this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall have 15 Business Days (or, with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination, such longer period as required by the related Co-Lender Agreement for review by any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder or its Companion Loan Holder Representative) (or 60 days with respect to an Acceptable Insurance Default), from the date that the Special Servicer receives the information it requested from the Master Servicer, to analyze and approve such modification, waiver, amendment or other action and, prior to the end of such 15 Business Day period or such longer period if required by the applicable Co-Lender Agreement or 60-day period, as applicable, if and for so long as an applicable Control Termination Event has not occurred and is not continuing, the Special Servicer shall notify the related Directing Holder of such request for approval of each such modification, waiver, amendment or other action that constitutes a Major Decision and provide its written analysis and recommendation with respect thereto. Following such notice, the related Directing Holder shall have 10 Business Days (or, in the case of a determination of an Acceptable Insurance Default, 20 days) from the date it receives from the Special Servicer the recommendation and analysis of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and any other information it may reasonably request (or, with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination, such longer time period as may be provided in the related Co-Lender Agreement) to approve any recommendation of the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer relating to any request for approval. In any such event, if the related Directing Holder does not respond to a request for approval by 5:00 p.m. on the 10th Business Day (or, with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination, such longer time period as may be provided in the related Co-Lender Agreement) or 20th day, as applicable, after receipt of the applicable recommendation and analysis and other requested information as set forth in the preceding sentence, the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, may deem its recommendation approved by the related Directing Holder, and if the Special Servicer does not respond to a request for approval within the required 15 Business Days (or, with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination, such longer time period if required by the related Co-Lender Agreement) or 60 days, as applicable, the Master Servicer may deem its recommendation approved by the Special Servicer.


 


With respect to any Performing Serviced Loan, and subject to the rights of the Special Servicer and the related Directing Holder under Section 6.09 of this Agreement, the Master Servicer, without the consent of the Special Servicer, shall be responsible to determine whether to consent to or approve any request by the related Mortgagor with respect to:

(D)       subject to other restrictions in this Agreement regarding Principal Prepayments, waiving any provision of a Serviced Loan requiring a specified number of days’ notice prior to a Principal Prepayment;


 


(E)        approving non-material modifications, consents or waivers (other than modifications, consents or waivers specifically prohibited under this Section 3.24) in connection with a defeasance permitted by the terms of this Agreement, and subject to certain conditions, including in certain cases, delivery of an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel shall be at the expense of the related Mortgagor) to the effect that such modification, waiver or consent would not cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or result in a “prohibited transaction” under the REMIC Provisions or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes;


 


(F)        approving consents with respect to non-material rights-of-way and non-material easements and consent to subordination of the related Serviced Loan to such non-material rights-of-way or easements; provided, that the Master Servicer has determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such right-of-way or easement does not materially interfere with the then-current use of the related Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by the related Mortgage and will not have a material adverse effect on the value of such Mortgaged Property;


 


(G)        granting waivers of minor covenant defaults (other than financial covenants);


 


(H)        as permitted under the related Loan Documents, payment from any escrow or reserve, except releases of any escrows, reserve accounts or letters of credit held as performance escrows or reserves unless required pursuant to the

specific terms of the related Serviced Loan and for which there is no material lender discretion;


 


(I)         approving a change of the property manager at the request of the related Mortgagor so long as (i) the successor property manager is not affiliated with the related Mortgagor and is a nationally or regionally recognized manager of similar properties, and (ii) the subject Serviced Mortgage Loan does not have an outstanding principal balance in excess of the lesser of $5,000,000 or 2% of the then aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans;

(K)       any non-material modifications, waivers or amendments not provided for in clauses (A) through (J) above, which are necessary to cure any ambiguities or to correct scrivener’s errors in the terms of the related Serviced Loan.


 


(b)           All modifications, waivers or amendments of any Serviced Loan shall be in writing and shall be effected in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall notify in writing the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, the related Directing Holder (prior to the occurrence and continuance of an applicable Consultation Termination Event), the Operating Advisor (after the occurrence and during the continuance of an applicable Control Termination Event) and, for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 11.13 of this Agreement, the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider, in writing, of any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Serviced Loan and the date thereof, and shall deliver a copy to the Trustee, any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, the related Directing Holder (prior to the occurrence and continuance of an applicable Consultation Termination Event) and the Operating Advisor (after the occurrence and during the continuance of an applicable Control Termination Event) and an original to the Trustee or the Custodian of the recorded agreement relating to such modification, waiver or amendment within 15 Business Days following the execution and recordation thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the requirement with respect to the delivery of assumption or substitution agreements shall be governed by Section 3.09.


 


(c)           Any modification of any Loan Documents that requires obtaining a Rating Agency Confirmation pursuant to such Loan Documents, or any modification that would eliminate, modify or alter the requirement of obtaining a Rating Agency Confirmation in such Loan Documents, shall not be made without obtaining a Rating Agency Confirmation. The Rating Agency Confirmation shall be obtained at the related Mortgagor’s expense in accordance with the related Loan Agreement or, if not so provided in such Loan Agreement or if such Mortgagor does not pay, at the expense of the Trust Fund.

(d)           Promptly after any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination becomes a Specially Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer shall request from the Certificate Administrator the name of the current Controlling Class Representative and, if applicable, shall request from the Master Servicer the name of the current related Serviced Companion Loan Holder. Upon receipt of the name of such current Controlling Class Representative from the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer shall notify the Controlling Class Representative that such Mortgage Loan became a Specially Serviced Loan. Upon receipt of the name of such current related Serviced Companion Loan Holder from the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer shall notify the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder that the related Serviced Loan Combination became a Specially Serviced Loan. The Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for providing the name of the current Controlling Class Representative only to the extent the Controlling Class Representative has identified itself as such to the Certificate Administrator; provided that if the Controlling Class Representative is determined pursuant to the proviso in the definition of “Controlling Class Representative”, then (i) the Certificate Administrator shall determine which Class is the Controlling Class and (ii) the Special Servicer shall request from the Certificate Administrator, and the Certificate Administrator shall request from the Depository at the expense of the Trust, the list of Beneficial Holders of the Controlling Class, and the Certificate Administrator shall provide such list to the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer at the expense of the Trust Fund.


 


(e)            [Reserved].


 


(f)            The Special Servicer or Master Servicer may, as a condition to granting any request by a Mortgagor for consent to a modification, extension, waiver or indulgence or any other matter or thing, the granting of which is within its discretion pursuant to the terms of the instruments evidencing or securing the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination and, further, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and applicable law, require that such Mortgagor pay to it a reasonable or customary fee for the additional services performed in connection with such request and any related costs and expenses incurred by it; provided that the charging of such fee would not be a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b).


 


(g)           Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Agreement, in no event shall the Special Servicer be permitted to:


 


(i)            extend the Maturity Date of a Serviced Loan beyond a date that is 3 years prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date; or


 


(ii)           if the Serviced Loan is secured by a ground lease, extend the Maturity Date of such Serviced Loan beyond a date which is 20 years or, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard, giving due consideration to the remaining term of the ground lease, 10 years prior to the end of the current term of such ground lease, plus any options to extend exercisable unilaterally by the related Mortgagor.

-227-











  






 


condemnation, if the related Loan Documents require the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to calculate (or require the Mortgagor to provide such calculation to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable) the loan-to-value ratio of the remaining Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties or the fair market value of the real property constituting the remaining Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties, for purposes of REMIC qualification of the related Serviced Mortgage Loan, then, unless then permitted by the REMIC Provisions, such calculation shall exclude the value of personal property and going concern value, if any. In connection with approving any such release or taking, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall calculate the loan-to-value ratio in a manner consistent with the prior sentence, and if such calculation is greater than 125%, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, will require a payment of principal in an amount equal to or greater than a “qualified amount” as determined under Revenue Procedure 2010-30 or successor provisions unless the related Mortgagor provides an Opinion of Counsel that if such amount is not paid the related Mortgage Loan will not fail to be a Qualified Mortgage.


 


(i)           If and to the extent that the Trust, as holder of an Outside Serviced Trust Loan, is entitled to exercise any consent and/or consultation rights with respect to modifications, waivers and amendments or certain other major decisions under the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such rights shall be exercised by the Controlling Class Representative or, following a Controlling Class Representative Control Termination Event, the Operating Advisor, in accordance with Section 3.01(i). The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall only be obligated to forward any requests received from the related Outside Servicer or the related Outside Special Servicer, as applicable, for such consent and/or consultation to the Controlling Class Representative or, following a Controlling Class Representative Control Termination Event, to the Operating Advisor, and shall have no right or obligation to exercise any such consent or consultation rights.


 


Section 3.25     Additional Obligations With Respect to Certain Mortgage Loans.


 


(a)           With respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than an Outside Serviced Trust Loan) with a Stated Principal Balance in excess of $35,000,000, in connection with any replacement of the Manager for the related Mortgaged Property, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, to the extent permitted by the related Loan Documents, shall require a Rating Agency Confirmation and shall condition its consent to such replacement on the Mortgagor paying for such Rating Agency Confirmation.


 


(b)           With respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than an Outside Serviced Trust Loan), if any mezzanine loan is directly or indirectly secured by any equity interest of the related Mortgagor, the Master Servicer (if the related Mortgage Loan is a Performing Serviced Loan) or the Special Servicer (if the related Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan) shall perform the obligations of the Trust, as holder of the related Mortgage Loan, or its servicer or agent under the related mezzanine loan intercreditor agreement.


 


Section 3.26     Certain Matters Relating to the Outside Serviced Trust Loans.


 


With respect to each Outside Serviced Trust Loan, in the event that any of the related Outside Trustee, the related Outside Servicer or the related Outside Special Servicer shall 


 




  





-228-











  






 


be replaced in accordance with the terms of the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall acknowledge its successor as the successor to the related Outside Trustee, the related Outside Servicer or the related Outside Special Servicer, as the case may be, in each case with reasonable promptness following request therefor by a party to the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


Section 3.27     Additional Matters Regarding Advance Reimbursement.


 


(a)           Upon the determination that a previously made Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, to the extent that the reimbursement thereof would exceed the full amount of the principal portion of general collections on the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, at its own option and in its sole discretion, as applicable, instead of obtaining reimbursement for the remaining amount of such Nonrecoverable Advance pursuant to Section 3.06(a)(ii)(B) of this Agreement immediately, may elect to refrain from obtaining such reimbursement for some or all such portion of the Nonrecoverable Advance during the one-month Prepayment Period ending on the then-current Determination Date, for successive one-month periods for a total not to exceed 12 months; provided that any deferral in excess of 6 months shall be subject to the consent of the Controlling Class Representative (or, in the case of a Property Advance with respect to the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Loan Combination, the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Controlling Note Holder) unless a Controlling Class Representative Control Termination Event (or, if applicable, a Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Control Termination Event) has occurred and is continuing, in which case the Controlling Class Representative or (if applicable, the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Controlling Note Holder) must be consulted with unless a Controlling Class Representative Consultation Termination Event (or, if applicable, a Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Consultation Termination Event) has occurred and is continuing. If the Master Servicer or the Trustee makes such an election in its sole discretion to defer reimbursement with respect to all or a portion of a Nonrecoverable Advance (together with interest thereon), then such Nonrecoverable Advance (together with interest thereon) or portion thereof shall continue to be fully reimbursable in the subsequent Collection Period (subject, again, to the same sole discretion option to defer; it is acknowledged that, in such a subsequent period, such Nonrecoverable Advance shall again be reimbursable pursuant to Section 3.06(a)(ii)(B) of this Agreement). In connection with a potential election by the Master Servicer or the Trustee to refrain from the reimbursement of a particular Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof during the one-month Prepayment Period ending on the related Determination Date for any Distribution Date, the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall further be authorized to wait for principal collections to be received before making its determination of whether to refrain from the reimbursement of a particular Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof) until the end of such Prepayment Period; provided, however, if, at any time the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, determines that the reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance during a one-month Prepayment Period will exceed the full amount of the principal portion of general collections deposited in the Collection Account for such Distribution Date, then the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall, through a posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 11.13 of this Agreement, give the Rating Agencies at least 15 days’ notice prior to any reimbursement to it of Nonrecoverable Advances from amounts in the Collection Account allocable to interest on the Mortgage Loans unless (1) the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, determines in its sole discretion that waiting 15 days after such a notice could jeopardize the Master Servicer’s or 


 




  





-229-











  






 


the Trustee’s, as applicable, ability to recover such Nonrecoverable Advances, (2) changed circumstances or new or different information becomes known to the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, that could affect or cause a determination of whether any Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, whether to defer reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance or the determination in clause (1) above, or (3) the Master Servicer has not timely received from the Trustee information requested by the Master Servicer to consider in determining whether to defer reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance; provided that, if clause (1), (2) or (3) apply, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall, through a posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 11.13 of this Agreement, give Rating Agencies notice of an anticipated reimbursement to it of Nonrecoverable Advances from amounts in the Collection Account allocable to interest on the Mortgage Loans as soon as reasonably practicable in such circumstances. Subject to Section 11.13 of this Agreement, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall have no liability for any loss, liability or expense resulting from any notice provided to Rating Agencies contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence. Any election by the Master Servicer or the Trustee to refrain from reimbursing itself for any Nonrecoverable Advance (together with interest thereon) or portion thereof with respect to any Collection Period shall not be construed to impose on the Master Servicer or the Trustee any obligation to make such an election (or any entitlement in favor of any Certificateholder or any other Person to such an election) with respect to any subsequent Collection Period or to constitute a waiver or limitation on the right of the Master Servicer or the Trustee to otherwise be reimbursed for such Nonrecoverable Advance immediately (together with interest thereon). Any such election by the Master Servicer, or the Trustee shall not be construed to impose any duty on the other such party to make such an election (or any entitlement in favor of any Certificateholder or any other Person to such an election). Any such election by any such party to refrain from reimbursing itself or obtaining reimbursement for any Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof with respect to any one or more Prepayment Periods shall not limit the accrual of interest on such Nonrecoverable Advance for the period prior to the actual reimbursement of such Nonrecoverable Advance. None of the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the other parties to this Agreement will have any liability to one another or to any of the Certificateholders for any such election that such party makes to refrain or not to refrain from reimbursing itself as contemplated by this paragraph or for any losses, damages or other adverse economic or other effects that may arise from such an election nor will such election constitute a violation of the Servicing Standard or any duty under this Agreement. The Master Servicer’s or the Trustee’s, as applicable, election, if any, to defer reimbursement of such Nonrecoverable Advances as set forth above is an accommodation to the Certificateholders and shall not be construed as an obligation on the part of the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, or a right of the Certificateholders. Nothing herein shall give the Master Servicer or the Trustee the right to defer reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance if there are principal collections then available in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.06 of this Agreement or to defer reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance for an aggregate period exceeding 12 months.


 


(b)           If the Master Servicer is required to make a Property Advance, but does not do so within 15 days after the Property Advance is required to be made, then the Trustee will be required: (i) if a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge of the failure, to give the Master Servicer notice of its failure; and (ii) if the failure continues for three more Business Days, to make the Advance unless the Trustee determines such advance to be a Nonrecoverable Advance.

Section 3.28     Serviced Companion Loan Intercreditor Matters.

-244-











  






 


Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5 and Class A-AB Certificates, pro rata, based on their respective Certificate Principal Amounts, in reduction of their respective Certificate Principal Amounts (and the schedule for the Class A-AB principal distributions shall be disregarded). Any remaining Available Funds will then be allocated as provided in priorities (iii) through (xxviii) above.


 


All distributions of interest made in respect of a Class of the Class X Certificates on any Distribution Date pursuant to clause (b)(i) above or Section 4.01(d), shall be deemed to have been made in respect of all the Components of such Class, pro rata in accordance with the respective amounts of interest that would be payable on such Components on such Distribution Date based on one-twelfth of the Class X Strip Rate of such Component multiplied by its respective Component Notional Amount, reduced by its share of any Excess Prepayment Interest Shortfall for such Distribution Date, together with any amounts thereof remaining unpaid from previous Distribution Dates.


 


(c)            (i) On any Distribution Date, any Yield Maintenance Charge collected on the Mortgage Loans as of the related Determination Date (or, in the case of any Outside Serviced Trust Loan(s), received hereunder as of the Business Day immediately preceding the related Master Servicer Remittance Date) and on deposit in the Collection Account as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the related Master Servicer Remittance Date will be distributed to the Holders of the respective Classes of Certificates (excluding the Class X-E, Class X-F, Class X-H, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class S and Class R Certificates) as follows: (A) first such Yield Maintenance charge shall be allocated between (x) the group (the “YM Group A”) of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-AB and Class X-A Certificates and the Class A-S Regular Interest (and correspondingly the Class A-S and Class PEZ Certificates, pro rata based on their respective percentage interests in the Class A-S Regular Interest) and (y) the group (the “YM Group B” and collectively with the YM Group A, the “YM Groups”) of the Class X-B Certificates, the Class B Regular Interest (and correspondingly the Class B and Class PEZ Certificates, pro rata based on their respective percentage interests in the Class B Regular Interest), the Class C Regular Interest (and correspondingly the Class C and Class PEZ Certificates, pro rata based on their respective percentage interests in the Class C Regular Interest) and the Class D Certificates, pro rata based on the aggregate amount of principal distributed with respect to the Classes of Regular Certificates (other than the Class X Certificates) and Class PEZ Regular Interests in each YM Group on such Distribution Date, and (B) then the portion of such Yield Maintenance Charge allocated to each YM Group shall be further allocated as among the Classes of Regular Certificates and Class PEZ Regular Interests in such YM Group, in the following manner: (1) each Class of Regular Certificates (other than the Class X Certificates) and each Class PEZ Regular Interest in such YM Group shall entitle the applicable Certificateholders to receive on the applicable Distribution Date, on a pro rata basis according to entitlements, that portion of such Yield Maintenance Charge equal to the product of (x) a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount distributed as principal to such Class of Regular Certificates or Class PEZ Regular Interest on such Distribution Date, and the denominator of which is the total amount of principal distributed to all of the Regular Certificates (other than the Class X Certificates) and Class PEZ Regular Interests in such YM Group on such Distribution Date, (y) the Base Interest Fraction for the related Principal Prepayment and such Class of Regular Certificates or Class PEZ Regular Interest and (z) the amount of such Yield Maintenance Charge allocated to such YM Group, and 


 




  





-245-











  






 


(2) any Yield Maintenance Charges allocated to such YM Group collected during the related Prepayment Period remaining after such distributions will be distributed to the Class of Class X Certificates in such YM Group.


 


On each Distribution Date, any Yield Maintenance Charges distributed in respect of the Class A-S Regular Interest shall be further allocated between and distributed on the Class A-S Certificates and the Class PEZ Component A-S (and correspondingly on the Class PEZ Certificates), pro rata in proportion to the Class A-S Percentage Interest and Class A-S-PEZ Percentage Interest, respectively. On each Distribution Date, any Yield Maintenance Charges distributed in respect of the Class B Regular Interest shall be further allocated between and distributed on the Class B Certificates and the Class PEZ Component B (and correspondingly on the Class PEZ Certificates), pro rata in proportion to the Class B Percentage Interest and Class B-PEZ Percentage Interest, respectively. On each Distribution Date, any Yield Maintenance Charges distributed in respect of the Class C Regular Interest shall be further allocated between and distributed on the Class C Certificates and the Class PEZ Component C (and correspondingly on the Class PEZ Certificates), pro rata in proportion to the Class C Percentage Interest and Class C-PEZ Percentage Interest, respectively.


 


After the Distribution Date on which the Class X-A Notional Amount, the Class X-B Notional Amount and the Certificate Principal Amounts of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-AB and Class D Certificates and the Class PEZ Regular Interests have been reduced to zero, all Yield Maintenance Charges collected with respect to the Mortgage Loans will be distributed pro rata to the Holders of the Class X-B Certificates.


 


(ii)           Any Yield Maintenance Charge that is to be distributed to the Regular Certificates or Class PEZ Regular Interests on any Distribution Date shall be deemed distributed from the Lower-Tier REMIC to the Upper-Tier REMIC in respect of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests then receiving a principal distribution, pro rata, based on the respective amounts of those principal distributions.


 


(d)           On each Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall withdraw amounts from the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account and shall distribute such amounts in the following priority:


 


(i)            first, to the Holders of the Regular Certificates and to the Exchangeable Distribution Account with respect to the Class PEZ Regular Interests (in the same order as distributions are made pursuant to Section 4.01(b) of this Agreement) up to an amount equal to all amounts remaining due and payable on the Regular Certificates and Class PEZ Regular Interests, and any Realized Loss allocable to such Certificates or Class PEZ Regular Interests, after application of the Available Funds for such Distribution Date; and


 


(ii)           second, to the Holders of the Class R Certificates, in accordance with the last sentence of Section 3.05(c) of this Agreement.


 


Amounts paid with respect to the Mortgage Loans from the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account pursuant to the preceding clause (i) shall first be deemed to have been 


 




  





-246-











  






 


distributed to reimburse the Lower-Tier REMIC in respect of any Realized Losses or other shortfalls allocated to the Upper-Tier REMIC in respect of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests in reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated thereto and payment of other amounts due thereon.


 


(e)           On each Distribution Date, following the deemed distributions of principal or in reimbursement of previously allocated Realized Losses made in respect of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(ii), the Lower-Tier Principal Balance of each Lower-Tier Regular Interest (after taking account of such deemed distributions) shall be reduced as a result of Realized Losses to equal the Certificate Principal Amount of its Corresponding Certificates that will be outstanding immediately following such Distribution Date.


 


(f)            The Certificate Principal Amount of each Class of Regular Certificates (other than the Class X Certificates) and each Class PEZ Regular Interest will be reduced without distribution on any Distribution Date, as a write-off, to the extent of any Realized Loss (for purposes of this calculation only, not giving effect to any reductions of the Stated Principal Balance for payments of principal collected on the Mortgage Loans that were used to reimburse any Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts pursuant to Section 3.06 of this Agreement to the extent such Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts are not otherwise determined to be Nonrecoverable Advances) allocated to such Class of Certificates or Class PEZ Regular Interest on such Distribution Date. On each Distribution Date, any Realized Loss for such Distribution Date will be allocated to the following Classes of Regular Certificates and Class PEZ Regular Interests in the following order, until the Certificate Principal Amount of each such Class of Certificates or Class PEZ Regular Interest is reduced to zero: first, to the Class H Certificates; second, to the Class G Certificates; third, to the Class F Certificates; fourth, to the Class E Certificates; fifth, to the Class D Certificates; sixth, to the Class C Regular Interest (and correspondingly, the Class C Certificates and the Class PEZ Component C, pro rata based on their respective percentage interests therein); seventh, to the Class B Regular Interest (and correspondingly, the Class B Certificates and the Class PEZ Component B, pro rata based on their respective percentage interests therein); eighth, to the Class A-S Regular Interest (and correspondingly, the Class A-S Certificates and the Class PEZ Component A-S, pro rata based on their respective percentage interests therein); and, finally, pro rata to the (i) Class A-1 Certificates, (ii) Class A-2 Certificates, (iii) Class A-3 Certificates, (iv) Class A-4 Certificates, (v) Class A-5 Certificates and (vi) Class A-AB Certificates based on their respective Certificate Principal Amounts. Any amounts recovered in respect of any amounts previously written off as Realized Losses will be distributed to the Classes of Certificates and Class PEZ Regular Interests to which Realized Losses have been allocated in order of their seniority and shall be deemed to be distributed to the Corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interests (and any amounts so distributed on any Class PEZ Regular Interest shall be deemed to be distributed on the Class of Class A-S, Class B or Class C Certificates corresponding to that Class PEZ Regular Interest and the corresponding Class PEZ Component of the Class PEZ Certificates, pro rata based on their respective percentage interests in such Class PEZ Regular Interest). Reimbursement of previously allocated Realized Losses will not constitute distributions of principal for any purpose and will not result in an additional reduction in the Certificate Principal Amount of the Class of Principal Balance Certificates or Class PEZ Regular Interest in respect of which any such reimbursement is made. If and to the extent that any Nonrecoverable Advances (plus interest thereon) that were reimbursed from principal collections on the Mortgage Loans (including REO 


 




  





-247-











  






 


Mortgage Loans) and previously resulted in a reduction of the Principal Distribution Amount are subsequently recovered on the related Mortgage Loan or REO Property, then (on the Distribution Date related to the Prepayment Period during which the recovery occurred) the amount of such recovery will be added to the Certificate Principal Amount(s) of the Class or Classes of Regular Certificates (other than the Class X Certificates) and/or the Class PEZ Regular Interest(s) that previously were allocated Realized Losses, in the same sequential order as distributions pursuant to Section 4.01(b) of this Agreement, in each case up to the lesser of the unallocated portion of such recovery and the amount of the unreimbursed Realized Losses previously allocated to the subject Class of Certificates or Class PEZ Regular Interest, and the Interest Shortfall with respect to each affected Class of Regular Certificates or Class PEZ Regular Interest for the next Distribution Date will be increased by the amount of interest that would have accrued through the then current Distribution Date if the restored write-down for such Class of Regular Certificates or Class PEZ Regular Interest had never been written down (and, to the extent that the Certificate Principal Amount of, and any interest payable on, any Class of Regular Certificates or Class PEZ Regular Interest is so increased, an identical increase shall be deemed made to the Lower-Tier Principal Balance of, and any interest payable on, the Corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interest). If the Certificate Principal Amount of any Class of Regular Certificates (other than the Class X Certificates) or Class PEZ Regular Interest (or the Lower-Tier Principal Balance of any Lower-Tier Regular Interest) is so increased, the amount of unreimbursed Realized Losses of such Class of Certificates or Class PEZ Regular Interest (or such Lower-Tier Regular Interest, as the case may be) shall be decreased by such amount.


 


 


The Notional Amount of the Class X-A Certificates and each of their respective Components will be reduced to reflect reductions of the Certificate Principal Amounts of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5 and Class A-AB Certificates and the Class A-S Regular Interest and of the Lower-Tier Principal Balances of the Corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interests resulting from allocations of Realized Losses. The Notional Amount of the Class X-B Certificates and each of their respective Components will be reduced to reflect reductions of the Certificate Principal Amounts of the Class B Regular Interest and the Class C Regular Interest and of the Lower-Tier Principal Balances of the Corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interests resulting from allocations of Realized Losses. The Notional Amount of the Class X-E Certificates and their respective Component will be reduced to reflect reductions of the Certificate Principal Amount of the Class E Certificates and of the Lower-Tier Principal Balance of the Corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interest resulting from allocations of Realized Losses. The Notional Amount of the Class X-F Certificates and each of their respective Components will be reduced to reflect reductions of the Certificate Principal Amounts of the Class F and Class G Certificates and of the Lower-Tier Principal Balances of the Corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interests resulting from allocations of Realized Losses. The Notional Amount of the Class X-H Certificates and their respective Component will be reduced to reflect reductions of the Certificate Principal Amount of the Class H Certificates and of the Lower Tier Principal Balance of the Corresponding Lower Tier Regular Interest resulting from allocations of Realized Losses.


 


(g)           All amounts distributable, or reductions allocable on account of Realized Losses, to a Class of Certificates pursuant to this Section 4.01 on each Distribution Date shall be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates in each such Class based on their respective Percentage Interests. Such distributions shall be made on each Distribution Date other

than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provides the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution. The Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for making all distributions on the Certificates contemplated hereunder.


 


(h)           Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01 with respect to an Anticipated Termination Date, the Certificate Administrator shall, no later than the fifteenth day of the month preceding the month in which the final distribution with respect to any Class of Certificates is expected to be made (or, if the Certificate Administrator has not received notice of such Anticipated Termination Date by such time, promptly following the Certificate Administrator’s receipt of such notice), mail to each Holder of such Class of Certificates, on such date a notice to the effect that:


 


(i)            the Certificate Administrator reasonably expects based upon information previously provided to it that the final distribution with respect to such Class of Certificates will be made on such Distribution Date, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificates at the office of the Certificate Administrator therein specified, and


 


(ii)           if such final distribution is made on such Distribution Date, no interest shall accrue on such Class of Certificates, or on the Corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interest, from and after such Distribution Date;


 


provided, however, that the Class R Certificates shall remain outstanding until there is no other Class of Certificates outstanding.


 


Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held in trust for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to this Section 4.01(h) shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six (6) months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. If within two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Certificate Administrator all amounts 


 




  





-249-











  






 


distributable to the Holders thereof, and the Certificate Administrator shall thereafter hold such amounts for the benefit of such Holders until the earlier of (i) its termination as Certificate Administrator hereunder and the transfer of such amounts to a successor Certificate Administrator and (ii) the termination of the Trust Fund and distribution of such amounts to the Class R Certificateholders. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust hereunder or by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with this Section 4.01(h). Any funds not distributed on such Distribution Date shall be set aside and held uninvested in trust for the benefit of Certificateholders not presenting and surrendering their Certificates in the aforesaid manner.


 


(i)             [Reserved].


 


(j)            The Excess Prepayment Interest Shortfall, if any, for each Distribution Date will be allocated among the various Classes of Regular Certificates, the Class A-S Regular Interest (and correspondingly, the Class A-S Certificates and the Class PEZ Component A-S, pro rata based on their respective percentage interests therein), the Class B Regular Interest (and correspondingly, the Class B Certificates and the Class PEZ Component B, pro rata based on their respective percentage interests therein) and the Class C Regular Interest (and correspondingly, the Class C Certificates and the Class PEZ Component C, pro rata based on their respective percentage interests therein), pro rata, based upon the respective Interest Accrual Amounts with respect to such Classes of Regular Certificates and Class PEZ Regular Interests for such Distribution Date. The portion of any Excess Prepayment Interest Shortfall for any Distribution Date so allocable to a Class of Class X Certificates shall, in turn, be allocated among the various Components of such Class of Class X Certificates, pro rata, based upon the respective amounts of Accrued Component Interest with respect to such Components for such Distribution Date. The portion of any Excess Prepayment Interest Shortfall for any Distribution Date so allocated to any Class of Regular Certificates, any Class PEZ Regular Interest or any Component of a Class of Class X Certificates shall be deemed to have first been allocated to the Corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interest for such Class of Regular Certificates, Class PEZ Regular Interest or Component, as applicable.


 


(k)           Amounts distributed on the Class PEZ Regular Interests pursuant to Section 4.01(b) and Section 4.01(d) shall be further distributed from the Exchangeable Distribution Account to the Holders of the Exchangeable Certificates as set forth below:


 


(i)            On each Distribution Date, simultaneously with the distributions made on the Class A-S Regular Interest under Section 4.01(b), the aggregate amount so distributed on the Class A-S Regular Interest on such Distribution Date shall be further distributed by the Certificate Administrator to the Holders of the Class A-S Certificates and the Class PEZ Certificates in the following amounts and in the following order of priority:


 


 (A)           first, concurrently, to the Holders of the Class A-S Certificates in respect of interest, up to an amount equal to the Class A-S Percentage Interest of the amount distributed in respect of interest on the Class A-S Regular Interest under Section 4.01(b)(iv) and Section 4.01(d)(i), and to the Holders of the Class PEZ Certificates in respect of interest on Class PEZ Component A-S, up to an

 (B)           second, concurrently, to the Holders of the Class A-S Certificates in respect of principal, up to an amount equal to the Class A-S Percentage Interest of the amount distributed in respect of principal on the Class A-S Regular Interest under Section 4.01(b)(v) and Section 4.01(d)(i), and to the Holders of the Class PEZ Certificates in respect of principal on Class PEZ Component A-S, up to an amount equal to the Class A-S-PEZ Percentage Interest of the amount distributed in respect of principal on the Class A-S Regular Interest under Section 4.01(b)(v) and Section 4.01(d)(i); and


 


 (C)           third, concurrently, to the Holders of the Class A-S Certificates in respect of unreimbursed Realized Losses, up to an amount equal to the Class A-S Percentage Interest of the amount distributed in respect of unreimbursed Realized Losses on the Class A-S Regular Interest under Section 4.01(b)(vi) and Section 4.01(d)(i), and to the Holders of the Class PEZ Certificates in respect of unreimbursed Realized Losses on Class PEZ Component A-S, up to an amount equal to the Class A-S-PEZ Percentage Interest of the amount distributed in respect of unreimbursed Realized Losses on the Class A-S Regular Interest under Section 4.01(b)(vi) and Section 4.01(d)(i).


 


(ii)           On each Distribution Date, simultaneously with the distributions made on the Class B Regular Interest under Section 4.01(b), the aggregate amount so distributed on the Class B Regular Interest on such Distribution Date shall be further distributed by the Certificate Administrator to the Holders of the Class B Certificates and the Class PEZ Certificates in the following amounts and in the following order of priority:


 


 (A)           first, concurrently, to the Holders of the Class B Certificates in respect of interest, up to an amount equal to the Class B Percentage Interest of the amount distributed in respect of interest on the Class B Regular Interest under Section 4.01(b)(vii) and Section 4.01(d)(i), and to the Holders of the Class PEZ Certificates in respect of interest on Class PEZ Component B, up to an amount equal to the Class B-PEZ Percentage Interest of the amount distributed in respect of interest on the Class B Regular Interest under Section 4.01(b)(vii) and Section 4.01(d)(i);

(c)           Not later than 5:00 p.m. New York time on each Determination Date, the Special Servicer shall forward to the Master Servicer, for each Specially Serviced Loan and REO Property (other than an REO Property related to an Outside Serviced Trust Loan), a CREFC® Special Servicer Loan File.

The Special Servicer shall cooperate with the Master Servicer and provide the Master Servicer with the information in the possession of the Special Servicer reasonably requested by the Master Servicer, in writing, to the extent required to allow the Master Servicer to perform its obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties (other than an REO Property related to an Outside Serviced Trust Loan).


 


The Master Servicer may make available to Privileged Persons copies of any reports or files prepared by the Master Servicer pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 4.03     Compliance With Withholding Requirements.


 


(a)           Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Paying Agent shall comply with all federal withholding requirements with respect to payments to Certificateholders of interest or original issue discount that the Paying Agent reasonably believes are applicable under the Code. The consent of Certificateholders shall not be required for any such withholding. In the event the Paying Agent or its agent withholds any amount from interest or original issue discount payments or advances thereof to any Certificateholder pursuant to federal withholding requirements, the Paying Agent shall indicate the amount withheld to such Certificateholder. Any amount so withheld shall be treated as having been distributed to such Certificateholder for all purposes of this Agreement.


 


(b)           Each Beneficial Owner and Certificateholder, by the purchase of a Certificate or its acceptance of a beneficial interest therein, acknowledges that interest on the Certificates will be treated as United States source interest, and, as such, United States withholding tax may apply. Each such Beneficial Owner and Certificateholder further agrees, upon request, to provide any certifications that may be required under applicable law, regulations or procedures to evidence its status for United States withholding tax purposes and understands that if it ceases to satisfy the foregoing requirements or provide requested documentation, 


 




  





-265-











  






 


payments to it under the Certificates may be subject to United States withholding tax (without any corresponding gross-up). Without limiting the foregoing, if a payment made under this Agreement would be subject to United States federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if the recipient of such payment were to fail to comply with FATCA (including the requirements of Code Sections 1471(b) or 1472(b), as applicable), such recipient shall deliver to the Paying Agent, with a copy to each of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, at the time or times prescribed by the Code and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Paying Agent or the Trustee, such documentation prescribed by the Code (including as prescribed by Code Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i)) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Paying Agent, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator to comply with their respective obligations under FATCA, to determine that such recipient has complied with such recipient’s obligations under FATCA, or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. For these purposes, “FATCA” means Section 1471 through 1474 of the Code and any regulations or official interpretations thereof (including any revenue ruling, revenue procedure, notice or similar guidance issued by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service thereunder as a precondition to relief or exemption from taxes under such Sections, regulations and interpretations), any agreements entered into pursuant to Code Section 1471(b)(1), and including any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.


 


Section 4.04     REMIC Compliance.


 


(a)           The parties intend that each Trust REMIC shall constitute, and that the affairs of each Trust REMIC shall be conducted so as to qualify it as, a “real estate mortgage investment conduit” as defined in, and in accordance with, the REMIC Provisions, and the provisions hereof shall be interpreted consistently with this intention. In furtherance of such intention, the Certificate Administrator shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, act as agent, and is hereby appointed to act as agent, of each Trust REMIC and shall on behalf of each Trust REMIC: (i) prepare, timely deliver to the Trustee for execution (and the Trustee shall timely execute) and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, all required Tax Returns for each Trust REMIC, using a calendar year as the taxable year for each Trust REMIC when and as required by the REMIC Provisions and other applicable federal, state or local income tax laws; (ii) make an election, on behalf of each Trust REMIC, to be treated as a REMIC on IRS Form 1066 for its first taxable year ending December 31, 2015, in accordance with the REMIC Provisions; (iii) prepare and forward, or cause to be prepared and forwarded, to the Certificateholders (other than the Holders of the Excess Interest Certificates) and the IRS and applicable state and local tax authorities all information reports as and when required to be provided to them in accordance with the REMIC Provisions of the Code; (iv) if the filing or distribution of any documents of an administrative nature not addressed in clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 4.04(a) is then required by the REMIC Provisions in order to maintain the status of each Trust REMIC as a REMIC or is otherwise required by the Code, prepare, sign and file or distribute, or cause to be prepared and signed and filed or distributed, such documents with or to such Persons when and as required by the REMIC Provisions or the Code or comparable provisions of state and local law; (v) obtain a taxpayer identification number for the Upper-Tier REMIC and Lower-Tier REMIC on IRS Form SS-4, and, within thirty days of the Closing Date, furnish or cause to be furnished to the IRS, on IRS Form 8811 or as otherwise may be required by the Code, the name, title and address of the Person that the holders of the Certificates may contact for tax information relating thereto (and the Certificate Administrator 


 




  





-266-











  






 


shall act as the representative of each Trust REMIC for this purpose), together with such additional information as may be required by such IRS Form, and shall update such information at the time or times and in the manner required by the Code (and the Depositor agrees within 10 Business Days of the Closing Date to provide any information reasonably requested by the Master Servicer or the Certificate Administrator and necessary to make such filing); and (vi) maintain such records relating to each Trust REMIC as may be necessary to prepare the foregoing returns, schedules, statements or information, such records, for federal income tax purposes, to be maintained on a calendar year and on an accrual basis.


 


The Holder of the largest Percentage Interest in the Class R Certificates shall be the tax matters person of each Trust REMIC pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.860F-4(d). If more than one Holder should hold an equal Percentage Interest in the Class R Certificates larger than that held by any other Holder, the first such Holder to have acquired such Class R Certificates shall be such tax matters person. The Certificate Administrator shall act as attorney-in-fact and agent for the tax matters person of each Trust REMIC, and each Holder of a Percentage Interest in the Class R Certificates, by acceptance hereof, is deemed to have consented to the Certificate Administrator’s appointment in such capacity and agrees to execute any documents required to give effect thereto, and any fees and expenses incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with any audit or administrative or judicial proceeding shall be paid by the Trust Fund.


 


The Certificate Administrator shall not intentionally take any action or intentionally omit to take any action within its control and the scope of its duties if, in taking or omitting to take such action, the Certificate Administrator knows that such action or omission (as the case may be) would cause the termination of the REMIC status of a Trust REMIC or the imposition of tax on a Trust REMIC (other than a tax on income expressly permitted or contemplated to be received by the terms of this Agreement).


 


Notwithstanding any provision of this paragraph or the three preceding paragraphs to the contrary, the Certificate Administrator shall not be required to take any action that the Certificate Administrator in good faith believes to be inconsistent with any other provision of this Agreement, nor shall the Certificate Administrator be deemed in violation of this paragraph if it takes any action expressly required or authorized by any other provision of this Agreement, and the Certificate Administrator shall have no responsibility or liability with respect to any act or omission of the Depositor or the Master Servicer which does not enable the Certificate Administrator to comply with any of clauses (i) through (vi) of the third preceding paragraph or which results in any action contemplated by clauses (i) through (iii) of the next succeeding sentence. In this regard the Certificate Administrator shall (i) not allow the occurrence of any “prohibited transactions” within the meaning of Code Section 860F(a), unless the party seeking such action shall have delivered to the Certificate Administrator an Opinion of Counsel (at such party’s expense) that such occurrence would not (a) result in a taxable gain, (b) otherwise subject a Trust REMIC to tax (other than a tax at the highest marginal corporate tax rate on net income from foreclosure property), or (c) cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes; (ii) not allow a Trust REMIC to receive income from the performance of services or from assets not permitted under the REMIC Provisions to be held by such Trust REMIC (provided, however, that the receipt of any income expressly permitted or contemplated by the terms of this Agreement shall not be deemed to 


 




  





-267-











  






 


violate this clause); and (iii) not permit the creation of any “interests,” within the meaning of the REMIC Provisions, in the Upper-Tier REMIC other than the Regular Certificates, the Class A-S Regular Interest, the Class B Regular Interest, the Class C Regular Interest and the Upper-Tier REMIC Residual Interest, or in the Lower-Tier REMIC other than the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and the Lower-Tier Residual Interest. None of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Depositor shall be responsible or liable for any failure by the Certificate Administrator to comply with the provisions of this Section 4.04. The Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall cooperate in a timely manner with the Certificate Administrator in supplying any information within the Depositor’s, the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s control (other than any confidential information) that is reasonably necessary to enable the Certificate Administrator to perform its duties under this Section 4.04.


 


(b)           The following assumptions are to be used for purposes of determining the anticipated payments of principal and interest for calculating the original yield to maturity and original issue discount with respect to the Regular Certificates, the Class A-S Regular Interest, the Class B Regular Interest and the Class C Regular Interest: (i) each Mortgage Loan will pay principal and interest in accordance with its terms and scheduled payments will be timely received on their Due Dates, provided that the Mortgage Loans in the aggregate will prepay in accordance with the Prepayment Assumption; (ii) none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor and the Class R Certificateholder will exercise the right described in Section 9.01 of this Agreement to cause early termination of the Trust Fund; and (iii) no Mortgage Loan is repurchased or substituted for by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to Article II of this Agreement.


 


Section 4.05     Imposition of Tax on the Trust REMICs. In the event that any tax, including interest, penalties or assessments, additional amounts or additions to tax, is imposed on a Trust REMIC, such tax shall be charged against amounts otherwise distributable with respect to the Regular Certificates, the Class PEZ Regular Interests and the Class R Certificates; provided that any taxes imposed on any net income from foreclosure property pursuant to Code Section 860G(d) or any similar tax imposed by a state or local jurisdiction shall instead be treated as an expense of the related REO Property in determining Net REO Proceeds with respect to the REO Property (and until such taxes are paid, the Special Servicer from time to time shall withdraw from the REO Account and transfer to the Certificate Administrator for deposit into the Distribution Accounts amounts reasonably determined by the Certificate Administrator to be necessary to pay such taxes, and the Certificate Administrator shall return to the Special Servicer the excess determined by the Certificate Administrator from time to time of the amount in excess of the amount necessary to pay such taxes); provided that any such tax imposed on net income from foreclosure property that exceeds the amount in any such reserve shall be retained from Available Funds as provided in Section 3.06(a)(vii) of this Agreement and the next sentence. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, the Certificate Administrator is hereby authorized to and shall retain or cause to be retained from the Distribution Account in determining the amount of Available Funds sufficient funds to pay or provide for the payment of, and to actually pay, such tax as is legally owed by a Trust REMIC (but such authorization shall not prevent the Certificate Administrator from contesting, at the expense of the Trust Fund, any such tax in appropriate proceedings, and withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings). The Certificate Administrator is hereby authorized to and shall segregate or cause to be segregated, into a separate non-interest bearing account, (i) the 


 




  





-268-











  






 


net income from any “prohibited transaction” under Code Section 860F(a) or (ii) the amount of any contribution to a Trust REMIC after the Startup Day that is subject to tax under Code Section 860G(d) and use such income or amount, to the extent necessary, to pay such tax (and return the balance thereof, if any, to the related Distribution Account). To the extent that any such tax is paid to the IRS, the Certificate Administrator shall retain an equal amount from future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holders of the Class R Certificates in respect of the related residual interest and shall distribute such retained amounts to the Holders of Regular Certificates or to the Certificate Administrator in respect of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and the Class PEZ Regular Interests until they are fully reimbursed and then to the Holders of the Class R Certificates in respect of the related residual interest. None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee shall be responsible for any taxes imposed on a Trust REMIC except to the extent such tax is attributable to a breach of a representation or warranty of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee or an act or omission of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee in contravention of this Agreement in both cases, provided, further, that such breach, act or omission could result in liability under Section 6.03, in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, or Section 4.04 or Section 8.01, in the case of the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in each such case, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall not be responsible for the Certificate Administrator’s, the Authenticating Agent’s, the Certificate Registrar’s, the Paying Agent’s or the Trustee’s breaches, acts or omissions, and the Trustee shall not be responsible for the breaches, acts or omissions of the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Authenticating Agent, the Certificate Registrar or the Paying Agent, and the Certificate Administrator shall not be responsible for the breaches, acts or omissions of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and, in each case if a different entity than the Certificate Administrator, the Authenticating Agent, the Certificate Registrar or the Paying Agent.


 


Section 4.06     Remittances; P&I Advances.


 


(a)           On the Master Servicer Remittance Date immediately preceding each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall:


 


(i)            remit to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account an amount equal to the Yield Maintenance Charges applicable to the Mortgage Loans (but not a Companion Loan) received by the Master Servicer in the Prepayment Period relating to such Distribution Date (or, in the case of an Outside Serviced Trust Loan, received by the Master Servicer as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Master Servicer Remittance Date and not previously so remitted to the Certificate Administrator);


 


(ii)           remit to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account an amount equal to the Available Funds applicable to the Mortgage Loans (other than the amounts referred to in clause (iv) below and clause (d) of the definition of “Available Funds”);


 


(iii)           remit to CREFC® the CREFC® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee;


 




  





-269-











  






 


(iv)          make a P&I Advance by remittance to the Certificate Administrator for deposit into the Lower-Tier Distribution Account, in an amount equal to the sum of the Applicable Monthly Payments for each Mortgage Loan (including any REO Mortgage Loan and any Mortgage Loan related to a Loan Combination, but not a Companion Loan) to the extent such amounts were not received on such Mortgage Loan as of the close of business on the Determination Date (without regard to any grace period) in the same month as such Master Servicer Remittance Date), except that the portion of such P&I Advance equal to the CREFC® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee for each such Mortgage Loan shall not be remitted to the Certificate Administrator but shall instead be remitted to CREFC®; and


 


(v)           remit to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Excess Interest Distribution Account all Excess Interest for the related Distribution Date then on deposit in the Collection Account after giving effect to withdrawals of funds pursuant to Section 3.06(a)(ii) through Section 3.06(a)(ix) of this Agreement.


 


Neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall be required or permitted to make an advance for Balloon Payments, Default Interest, Excess Interest or Yield Maintenance Charges, or delinquent Monthly Payments on the Companion Loans. The amount required to be advanced in respect of delinquent payments of interest on any Mortgage Loan as to which an Appraisal Reduction Amount exists will equal the product of (i) the amount otherwise required to be advanced by the Master Servicer with respect to delinquent payments of interest without giving effect to such Appraisal Reduction Amounts, and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan as of the last day of the related Collection Period, reduced by such Appraisal Reduction Amount, and the denominator of which is the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan as of the last day of the related Collection Period. Appraisal Reduction Amounts shall not affect the principal portion of any P&I Advances.


 


Any amount advanced by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 4.06(a)(iv) of this Agreement shall constitute a P&I Advance for all purposes of this Agreement and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement (with interest at the Advance Rate). The Special Servicer shall have no obligation to make any P&I Advance.


 


The Certificate Administrator shall notify the Master Servicer and the Trustee by telephone if as of 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Certificate Administrator has not received the amount of a required P&I Advance hereunder. If as of 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Distribution Date the Master Servicer shall not have made the P&I Advance required to have been made on the related Master Servicer Remittance Date pursuant to Section 4.06(a)(iv) of this Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Trustee and the Trustee shall no later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Business Day deposit into the Lower-Tier Distribution Account in immediately available funds an amount equal to the P&I Advances otherwise required to have been made by the Master Servicer.


 


Neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall be obligated to make a P&I Advance as to any Monthly Payment on any date on which a P&I Advance is otherwise required 


 




  





-270-











  






 


to be made by this Section 4.06 if the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, or the Special Servicer determines that such Advance will be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The determination by any Person with an obligation hereunder to make P&I Advances that it has made (or in the case of a determination by the Special Servicer, that the Master Servicer or the Trustee has made) a Nonrecoverable Advance or the determination by the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Trustee that any proposed P&I Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be made by such Person (i) in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, in accordance with the Servicing Standard or (ii) in the case of the Trustee, in its good faith business judgment, and shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate as set forth in Section 4.06(b). In connection with a determination by the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Trustee as to whether a P&I Advance previously made or to be made constitutes or would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance:


 


(A)        any such Person will be entitled to consider (among other things) the obligations of the Mortgagor under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination as it may have been modified, to consider (among other things) the related Mortgaged Properties in their “as is” or then current conditions and occupancies, as modified by such party’s assumptions regarding the possibility and effects of future adverse change with respect to such Mortgaged Properties, to estimate and consider (among other things) future expenses and to estimate and consider (among other things) the timing of recoveries;


 


(B)        any such Person may update or change its recoverability determinations at any time (but not reverse any other Person’s determination that an Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance) and may obtain at the expense of the Trust Fund any analysis, Appraisals or market value estimates or other information for such purposes;


 


(C)        the Special Servicer may, at its option, make a determination in accordance with the Servicing Standard that any proposed P&I Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any outstanding P&I Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance and may deliver to the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Controlling Class Representative Consultation Termination Event) notice of such determination, which determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Master Servicer and the Trustee;


 


(D)        although the Special Servicer may determine whether a P&I Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Special Servicer will have no right to (i) make an affirmative determination that any P&I Advance previously made or to be made (or contemplated to be made) by the Master Servicer or the Trustee is, or would be, recoverable or (ii) reverse any determination that may have been made by the Master Servicer or the Trustee or to prohibit the Master Servicer or the Trustee from making a determination that a P&I Advance constitutes or would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance; provided that this sentence will not be construed to limit the Special Servicer’s right to make a determination that a P&I 


 




  





-271-











  






 


Advance to be made (or contemplated to be made) would be, or a previously made Advance is, a Nonrecoverable Advance, as described in this Section 4.06;


 


(E)         any non-recoverability determination by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to this Section 4.06 with respect to the recoverability of P&I Advances shall be conclusive and binding on the Master Servicer (in the case of such a determination by the Special Servicer) and the Trustee;


 


(F)         the Master Servicer shall provide notice to the Trustee on or prior to the Master Servicer Remittance Date of any such non-recoverability determination made by the Master Servicer on or prior to such date;


 


(G)        the Trustee shall be entitled to rely, conclusively, on any determination by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer that a P&I Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance; provided, however, that if the Master Servicer has failed to make a P&I Advance for reasons other than a determination by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer that such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Trustee shall make such advance within the time periods required by this Section 4.06 unless the Trustee, in its good faith business judgment, or the Special Servicer, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, makes a determination prior to the times specified in this Section 4.06 that such advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance;


 


(H)        the Special Servicer shall report, promptly upon making a determination contemplated in this paragraph, to the Master Servicer the Special Servicer’s determination as to whether any P&I Advance made with respect to any previous Distribution Date or required to be made with respect to a future Distribution Date with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan is a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, and the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such determination; and


 


(I)          notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee may conclusively rely upon any determination by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer that any P&I Advance would be recoverable (unless a non-recoverability determination has been made by the other servicer in accordance with clause (E) above which is binding on the Trustee), and the Master Servicer may conclusively rely upon any determination by the Special Servicer that any P&I Advance would be recoverable.


 


The Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to the reimbursement of P&I Advances it makes (together with interest thereon) to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 3.06(a)(ii) of this Agreement and each of the Master Servicer and Special Servicer hereby covenants and agrees to promptly seek and effect the reimbursement of such Advances from the related Mortgagors to the extent permitted by applicable law and the related Mortgage Loan.


 




  





-272-











  






 


With respect to P&I Advances and each Outside Serviced Trust Loan, the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the “appraisal reduction amount” calculated by the related Outside Special Servicer or the related Outside Servicer in accordance with the terms of the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


(b)           The determination by the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Special Servicer that a P&I Advance has become a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance, if made pursuant to this Section 4.06 with respect to any Mortgage Loan (or with respect to any successor REO Mortgage Loan with respect to any of the foregoing), would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered on or prior to the next Master Servicer Remittance Date to the Trustee (unless it is the Person making the determination), the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Controlling Class Representative Consultation Termination Event), the holder of any related Pari Passu Companion Loan or its Companion Loan Holder Representative (in the case of a Pari Passu Loan Combination), the Master Servicer (unless it is the Person making the determination), the Special Servicer (unless it is the Person making the determination) and, if the Trustee is making the determination, the Depositor, setting forth the basis for such determination, together with any other information that supports such determination together with a copy of any Appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property, as the case may be (which Appraisal shall be an expense of the Trust, shall take into account any material change in circumstances of which such Person is aware or such Person has received new information, either of which has a material effect on the value and shall have been conducted in accordance with the standards of the Appraisal Institute within the twelve months preceding such determination of nonrecoverability), and further accompanied by related Mortgagor operating statements and financial statements, budgets and rent rolls of the related Mortgaged Property (to the extent available and/or in such Person’s possession) and any engineers’ reports, environmental surveys or similar reports that such Person may have obtained and that support such determination. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall consider Unliquidated Advances with respect to prior P&I Advances for the purpose of nonrecoverability determinations as if such amounts were unreimbursed P&I Advances.


 


(c)           With respect to each Outside Serviced Trust Loan, if (1) the related Outside Servicer has determined that a proposed debt service advance with respect to such Outside Serviced Trust Loan or a related Outside Serviced Companion Loan, if made, would be, or any outstanding debt service advance previously made with respect to such Outside Serviced Companion Loan is, as applicable, a “nonrecoverable advance,” and the related Outside Servicer has provided written notice of such determination to the Master Servicer, or (2) if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer has determined that a P&I Advance with respect to the Outside Serviced Trust Loan related to such related Outside Serviced Companion Loan would be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, then neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall make any additional P&I Advance with respect to such Outside Serviced Trust Loan until the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, has consulted with the related Outside Servicer under the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement and they agree that circumstances with respect to such Mortgage Loans have changed such that a proposed future debt service advance would not be a “nonrecoverable advance.” With respect to each Outside Serviced Trust Loan, if the Master Servicer has determined that a proposed P&I Advance with respect to such mortgage loan would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Master Servicer shall provide the 


 




  





-273-











  






 


related Outside Servicer written notice of such determination within two (2) Business Days after such determination was made.


 


In connection with each Outside Serviced Trust Loan, any determination by the Master Servicer that any P&I Advance made or to be made with respect to such Outside Serviced Trust Loan (or any successor REO Mortgage Loan with respect thereto) is or, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance may be made independently from any determinations (or the absence of any determinations) made under the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement regarding nonrecoverability of debt service advances on the related Outside Serviced Companion Loan.


 


(d)           If the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer has received written notice from Moody’s, DBRS or KBRA to the effect that continuation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in such capacity would result in the downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of any rating then assigned by Moody’s, DBRS or KBRA, as applicable, to any Class of Certificates and citing servicing concerns with such Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, as the sole or material factor in such rating action, and such notice is not rescinded within 60 days, then the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall promptly notify the other such parties and the Certificate Administrator, and the Certificate Administrator shall promptly notify the Serviced Companion Loan Holder and the applicable master servicer of any Serviced Companion Loan.


 


Section 4.07     Grantor Trust Reporting.


 


(a)           The Certificate Administrator shall maintain adequate books and records to account for the separate entitlements of the Grantor Trust.


 


(b)           The parties intend that the Grantor Trust shall be treated as a “grantor trust” under the Code, and the provisions thereof shall be interpreted consistently with this intention. In furtherance of such intention, none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall vary the assets of the Grantor Trust so as to take advantage of market fluctuations or so as to improve the rate of return of the Exchangeable Certificates, and shall otherwise comply with Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-4(c). The Certificate Administrator shall file or cause to be filed with the IRS Form 1041, Form 1099 or such other form as may be applicable and shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Holders of the respective Classes of the Grantor Trust Certificates, their allocable share of income and expense with respect to the Class A-S Specific Grantor Trust Assets, the Class B Specific Grantor Trust Assets, the Class C Specific Grantor Trust Assets, the Class PEZ Specific Grantor Trust Assets, the Excess Interest Grantor Trust Assets and proceeds thereof, respectively, as such amounts are received or accrue, as applicable.


 


(c)           (i) The Grantor Trust is a WHFIT that is a WHMT. The Certificate Administrator shall report as required under the WHFIT Regulations to the extent such information as is reasonably necessary to enable the Certificate Administrator to do so is provided to the Certificate Administrator on a timely basis. With respect to each Class of Exchangeable Certificates, the Certificate Administrator is hereby directed to assume that DTC is the only “middleman” as defined by the WHFIT Regulations unless it has actual knowledge to 


 




  





-274-











  






 


the contrary or the Depositor provides the Certificate Administrator with the identities of the other “middlemen” that are Certificateholders. The Certificate Administrator will not be liable for any tax reporting penalties that may arise under the WHFIT Regulations in the event that the IRS makes a determination that is contrary to the first sentence of this paragraph.



 


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


 


(iii)          The Certificate Administrator shall not be liable for failure to meet the reporting requirements of the WHFIT Regulations nor for any penalties thereunder if such failure is due to: (i) the lack of reasonably necessary information that is not in its possession being provided to the Certificate Administrator or (ii) incomplete, inaccurate or untimely information being provided to the Certificate Administrator. Each owner of a class of securities representing, in whole or in part, beneficial ownership of an interest in a WHFIT, by acceptance of its interest in such class of securities, will be deemed to have agreed to provide the Certificate Administrator with information regarding any sale of such securities, including the price, amount of proceeds and date of sale. Absent receipt of information regarding any sale of Certificates, including the price, amount of proceeds and date of sale from the beneficial owner thereof or the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator shall assume there is no secondary market trading of WHFIT interests.       




 


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


 


Section 4.08     Calculations.


 


Provided that the Certificate Administrator receives the necessary loan-level information from the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for performing all calculations necessary in connection with the actual and deemed distributions to be made pursuant to Section 4.01, the preparation of the Distribution Date Statements pursuant to Section 4.02(a) and the actual and deemed allocations of Realized Losses to be made pursuant to Section 4.01. The Certificate Administrator shall calculate the Principal Distribution Amount and Interest Distribution Amounts for each Distribution Date and 


 




  





-275-











  






 


shall allocate such amounts among Certificateholders in accordance with this Agreement. Absent actual knowledge of an error therein, the Certificate Administrator shall have no obligation to recompute, recalculate or otherwise verify any loan-level information provided to it by the Master Servicer. The calculations by the Certificate Administrator contemplated by this Section 4.08 shall, in the absence of manifest error, be deemed to be correct for all purposes hereunder.


 


ARTICLE V

Section 5.01     The Certificates. (a) The Certificates consist of the Class A-1 Certificates, the Class A-2 Certificates, the Class A-3 Certificates, the Class A-4 Certificates, the Class A-5 Certificates, the Class A-AB Certificates, the Class X-A Certificates, the Class X-B Certificates, the Class X-E Certificates, the Class X-F Certificates, the Class X-H Certificates, the Class A-S Certificates, the Class B Certificates, the Class PEZ Certificates, the Class C Certificates, the Class D Certificates, the Class E Certificates, the Class F Certificates, the Class G Certificates, the Class H Certificates, the Class S Certificates and the Class R Certificates.


 


Each Class of Certificates will be substantially in the forms annexed hereto as Exhibits A-1 through A-22 respectively, with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by this Agreement or as may, in the reasonable judgment of the Certificate Registrar, be necessary, appropriate or convenient to comply, or facilitate compliance, with applicable laws, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as may be required by law, or as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the officers executing such Certificates, as evidenced by their execution thereof. The Public Certificates (other than the Class X-A and Class X-B Certificates) shall be issued in minimum denominations of $10,000 and integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof. However, in connection with an exchange of Class A-S, Class B and Class C Certificates for Class PEZ Certificates and vice versa, each of the Class A-S, Class B, and Class C Certificates exchanged (whether surrendered or received) in such exchange shall be in denominations of at least $10,000 initial Certificate Principal Amount, and the Class PEZ Certificates exchanged shall equal the aggregate Certificate Principal Amount of the Class A-S, Class B and Class C Certificates being exchanged therefor (i.e. in excess of $30,000 initial Certificate Principal Amount). The Private Certificates (other than the Class X-E, Class X-F, Class X-H, Class S and Class R Certificates) shall be issued in minimum denominations of $100,000 and integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof. The Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-E, Class X-F and Class X-H Certificates shall be issued, maintained and transferred only in minimum denominations of authorized initial notional amounts of not less than $1,000,000 and in integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof. If the initial Certificate Principal Amount or initial Notional Amount, as applicable, of any Class of Certificates (exclusive of the Class S and Class R Certificates) does not equal an integral multiple of $1, then a single additional Certificate of such Class may be issued in a minimum denomination of authorized initial Certificate Principal Amount or initial Notional Amount, as applicable, that includes the excess of (i) the initial Certificate Principal Amount or initial Notional Amount, as 


 




  





-276-

The Class R Certificates shall be issued, maintained and transferred in minimum percentage interests of 10% of such Class R Certificates and in integral multiples of 1% in excess thereof. The Class S Certificates shall be issued, maintained and transferred in minimum percentage interests of 10% of such Class S Certificates and in integral multiples of 1% in excess thereof.


 


(b)           One authorized signatory shall sign the Certificates for the Certificate Administrator by manual or facsimile signature. If an authorized signatory whose signature is on a Certificate no longer holds that office at the time the Certificate Administrator countersigns the Certificate, the Certificate shall be valid nevertheless. A Certificate shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Certificate Administrator (who may be the same officer who executed the Certificate) manually countersigns the Certificate. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Certificate has been executed and countersigned under this Agreement.


 


Section 5.02     Form and Registration.


 


(a)           Each Class of Public Certificates shall be represented by a single, global certificate in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons, substantially in the applicable form set forth as an exhibit hereto, which shall be deposited with the Certificate Registrar or an agent of the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the Depository, and registered in the name of the Depository or a nominee of the Depository. The aggregate Certificate Principal Amount of a Global Certificate may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the Depository, as hereinafter provided.


 


(b)           Unless and until Definitive Certificates are issued in respect of a Class of Global Certificates, beneficial ownership interests in such Certificates will be maintained and transferred on the book-entry records of the Depository and Depository Participants, and all references to actions by Holders of such Class of Certificates will refer to action taken by the Depository upon instructions received from the related registered Holders of Certificates through the Depository Participants in accordance with the Depository’s procedures and, except as otherwise set forth herein, all references herein to payments, notices, reports and statements to Holders of such Class of Certificates will refer to payments, notices, reports and statements to the Depository or its nominee as the registered Holder thereof, for distribution to the related registered Holders of Certificates through the Depository Participants in accordance with the Depository’s procedures.


 


(c)           No transfer of any Private Certificate shall be made unless that transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, and effective registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction which does not require such registration or qualification. If a transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the Securities Act, and under the applicable state securities laws, then:


 


(i)            The Certificates of each Class of the Private Certificates (other than the Class S and Class R Certificates) sold in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S 


 




  





-277-











  






 


under the Act shall initially be represented by a temporary global certificate in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons, substantially in the applicable form set forth as an exhibit hereto (each a “Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate”), which shall be deposited on the Closing Date on behalf of the purchasers of the Private Certificates represented thereby with the Certificate Registrar, at its principal trust office, as custodian, for the Depository, and registered in the name of the Depository or the nominee of the Depository for the account of designated agents holding on behalf of Euroclear and/or Clearstream. Prior to the expiration of the 40-day period commencing on the later of the commencement of the offering and the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), beneficial interests in each Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate may be held only through Euroclear or Clearstream. After the expiration of the Restricted Period, a beneficial interest in a Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate may be exchanged for an interest in the related permanent global certificate of the same Class of Private Certificates (a “Regulation S Global Certificate”) in the applicable form set forth as an exhibit hereto in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 5.03(f) of this Agreement. During the Restricted Period, distributions due in respect of a beneficial interest in a Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate shall only be made upon delivery to the Certificate Registrar by Euroclear or Clearstream, as applicable, of a Non-U.S. Beneficial Ownership Certification. After the expiration of the Restricted Period, distributions due in respect of any beneficial interests in a Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate shall not be made to the holders of such beneficial interests unless exchange for a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Certificate of the same Class is improperly withheld or refused. The aggregate Certificate Principal Amount of a Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate or a Regulation S Global Certificate may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the Depository, as hereinafter provided.


 


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


 


(ii)           The Certificates of each Class of Private Certificates (other than the Class S and Class R Certificates) offered and sold to Qualified Institutional Buyers in reliance on Rule 144A shall be represented by a single, global certificate in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons, substantially in the applicable form set forth as an exhibit hereto (each, a “Rule 144A Global Certificate”), which shall be deposited with the Certificate Registrar or an agent of the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the Depository, and registered in the name of the Depository or a nominee of the Depository. The aggregate Certificate Principal Amount of a Rule 144A Global Certificate may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the Depository, as hereinafter provided.


 


(iii)          The Certificates of each Class of Private Certificates offered and sold in the United States to investors that are Institutional Accredited Investors that are not Qualified Institutional Buyers, the Class S Certificates and the Class R Certificates (collectively, 


 




  





-278-











  






 


the “Non-Book Entry Certificates”) shall be in the form of Definitive Certificates, substantially in the applicable form set forth as an exhibit hereto, and shall be registered in the name of such investors or their nominees by the Certificate Registrar who shall deliver the certificates for such Non-Book Entry Certificates to the respective beneficial owners or owners.


 


(d)           Owners of beneficial interests in Global Certificates of any Class shall not be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificated Certificates unless: (i) the Depository advises the Certificate Registrar in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities as depository with respect to the Global Certificates of such Class or ceases to be a Clearing Agency, and the Certificate Administrator and the Depositor are unable to locate a qualified successor within 90 days of such notice; (ii) the Trustee has instituted or has been directed to institute any judicial proceeding to enforce the rights of the Holders of such Class and the Trustee has been advised by counsel that in connection with such proceeding it is necessary or appropriate for the Trustee to obtain possession of the Certificates of such Class; or (iii) in the case of a Private Certificate, all of the applicable requirements of Section 5.03 of this Agreement are satisfied; provided, however, that under no circumstances will certificated Private Certificates be issued to beneficial owners of a Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate. Upon notice of the occurrence of any of the events described in clause (i) or (ii) above with respect to any Certificates of a Class that are in the form of Global Certificates and upon surrender by the Depository of any Global Certificate of such Class and receipt from the Depository of instructions for reregistration, the Certificate Registrar shall issue Certificates of such Class in the form of Definitive Certificates (bearing, in the case of a Definitive Certificate issued for a Rule 144A Global Certificate, the same legends regarding transfer restrictions borne by such Global Certificate), and thereafter the Certificate Registrar shall recognize the holders of such Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders under this Agreement.


 


(e)           If any Beneficial Owner wishes to transfer its interest in a Rule 144A Global Certificate to an Institutional Accredited Investor that is not a Qualified Institutional Buyer, or wishes to transfer its interest in a Regulation S Global Certificate to a “U.S. person” (as that term is defined in Rule 902(k) under the Securities Act) that is an Institutional Accredited Investor but not a Qualified Institutional Buyer, then the transferee shall take delivery in the form of a Non-Book Entry Certificate, subject to the restrictions on the transfer of such Non-Book Entry Certificate in Section 5.03(h) of this Agreement. No such transfer shall be made and the Certificate Registrar shall not register any such transfer unless such transfer complies with the provisions of Section 5.03(h) of this Agreement applicable to transfers of Non-Book Entry Certificates. Upon acceptance for exchange or transfer of a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate for a Non-Book Entry Certificate, as provided herein, the Certificate Registrar shall endorse on the schedule affixed to the related Global Certificate (or on a continuation of such schedule affixed to such Global Certificate and made a part thereof) an appropriate notation evidencing the date of such exchange or transfer and a decrease in the denomination of such Global Certificate equal to the denomination of such Non-Book Entry Certificate issued in exchange therefor or upon transfer thereof.

(a)          The Certificate Administrator shall keep or cause to be kept at its principal offices books (the “Certificate Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Certificate Administrator shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided (the Certificate Administrator, in such capacity, being the “Certificate Registrar”).

Interests in a Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate as to which the Certificate Registrar has received from Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, a certificate (a “Non-U.S. Beneficial Ownership Certification”) to the effect that Euroclear or Clearstream, as applicable, has received a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H to this Agreement from the holder of a beneficial interest in such Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate, shall be exchanged after the Restricted Period, for interests in the Regulation S Global Certificate of the same Class or Private Certificates. The Certificate Registrar shall effect such exchange by delivering to the Depository for credit to the respective accounts of such holders, a duly executed and authenticated Regulation S Global Certificate, representing the aggregate Certificate Principal Amount of interests in the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate initially exchanged for interests in the Regulation S Global Certificate.

responsibility or prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA or Code Section 4975 (“Similar Law”), or to any Person acting on behalf of any such plan or using the assets of such plan to acquire such Certificate or interest therein unless, in the case of an ERISA Restricted Certificate, its acquisition, holding and disposition of such Certificate or an interest therein would not constitute or otherwise result in a non-exempt violation of Similar Law.

-294-











  






 


that the amount relates to a Serviced Loan Combination, is required under the related Co-Lender Agreement to be borne by the holder of a related Serviced Companion Loan and is paid from the Collection Account because funds on deposit in the applicable Loan Combination Custodial Account are insufficient to pay such indemnification, then the Master Servicer shall from time to time thereafter use amounts otherwise payable to the holder of such Serviced Companion Loan to deposit into the Collection Account the amount so paid from the Collection Account) against any loss, liability, penalty, fine, forfeiture, claim, judgment or expense (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred in connection with, or relating to, this Agreement or the Certificates, other than any loss, liability, penalty, fine, forfeiture, claim, judgment or expense (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) (i) incurred by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith, fraud or negligence in the performance of obligations or duties hereunder or by reason of negligent disregard of obligations or duties hereunder, in each case by the Person being indemnified, (ii) with respect to any such party, resulting from the breach by such party of any of its representations or warranties contained herein, (iii) specifically required to be borne by the party seeking indemnification without right of reimbursement pursuant to the terms hereof or (iv) which constitutes an Advance that is otherwise reimbursable hereunder. None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action unless such action is related to its respective duties under this Agreement and in its opinion does not expose it to any expense or liability for which reimbursement is not reasonably assured; provided, however, that each of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor may in its discretion undertake any such action related to its obligations hereunder which it may deem necessary or desirable with respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the reasonable legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund (payable out of the Collection Account or the applicable Loan Combination Custodial Account if and to the extent with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination and then out of the Collection Account, provided that to the extent that the amount relates to a Serviced Loan Combination, is required under the related Co-Lender Agreement to be borne by the holder of a related Serviced Companion Loan and is paid from the Collection Account because funds on deposit in the applicable Loan Combination Custodial Account are insufficient to pay such indemnification, then the Master Servicer shall from time to time thereafter use amounts otherwise payable to the holder of such Serviced Companion Loan to deposit into the Collection Account the amount so paid from the Collection Account), and the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account or the applicable Loan Combination Custodial Account, as applicable, as provided in Section 3.06 and Section 3.06A of this Agreement.


 


Each of the related Outside Servicer, the related Outside Special Servicer or the related Outside Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement out of general collections in the Collection Account for the Trust’s pro rata share of any fees, costs or expenses incurred in connection with the servicing and administration of an Outside Serviced Loan Combination as to which the securitization trust created under the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any of the parties thereto are entitled to be reimbursed pursuant to the terms of the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the related Co-Lender Agreement (to the extent amounts on deposit in the related “Serviced Whole Loan Custodial

Account” (as defined in the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement) are insufficient for reimbursement of such amounts).


 


Section 6.04     Limitation on Resignation of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor.


 


(a)           Each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor may assign its respective rights and delegate its respective duties and obligations under this Agreement; provided that, with respect to any of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor: (i) the successor accepting such assignment and delegation (A) shall be an established mortgage finance entity, bank or other entity regularly engaged in the servicing of commercial mortgage loans (or, in the case of the Operating Advisor, an Eligible Operating Advisor), organized and doing business under the laws of any state of the United States, the District of Columbia or the United States, authorized under such laws to perform the duties of a servicer of mortgage loans or of an operating advisor, as applicable, or a Person resulting from a merger, consolidation or succession that is permitted under Section 6.02 of this Agreement and, in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, under the related Co-Lender Agreement, and (B) shall execute and deliver to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator an agreement which contains an assumption by such Person of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition to be performed or observed by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, as the case may be, under this Agreement from and after the date of such agreement; (ii) each Rating Agency has delivered to the Trustee a Rating Agency Confirmation; (iii) the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor shall not be released from its obligations under this Agreement that arose prior to the effective date of such assignment and delegation under this Section 6.04; (iv) the rate at which the Operating Advisor Fee, the Servicing Fee or Special Servicing Compensation, as applicable (or any component thereof) is calculated shall not exceed the rate then in effect; (v) for so long as no Controlling Class Representative Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the successor Special Servicer is acceptable to the Controlling Class Representative (and, if the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Loan Combination is affected and no Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the successor Special Servicer is acceptable to the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Controlling Note Holder); and (vi) the resigning Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Operating Advisor, as applicable, shall be responsible for the reasonable costs and expenses of each other party hereto, the Trust and the Rating Agencies in connection with such transfer. Upon acceptance of such assignment and delegation, the purchaser or transferee shall be the successor Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Operating Advisor, as applicable, hereunder.


 


(b)           Except as provided in this Section 6.04, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor shall not resign from their respective obligations and duties hereby imposed on them except upon determination that such duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law; provided that, on and after the time the Trustee receives notice of resignation by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer upon determination that such duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law, the Trustee (solely with respect to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) shall, subject to the terms and provisions of Section 7.02 of this Agreement as if the resigning party was a Terminated Party, be its successor in all respects in its capacity as Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, as though the 


 




  





-296-











  






 


Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, had received a notice of termination. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (obtained at the resigning Master Servicer’s, Special Servicer’s or Operating Advisor’s expense) to such effect delivered to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time after the Certificate Principal Amounts of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-AB, Class A-S, Class B, Class PEZ, Class C and Class D Certificates have been reduced to zero, the Operating Advisor may resign from its obligations and duties hereunder, without payment of any penalty, and no replacement Operating Advisor shall be required to be appointed in connection with, or as a condition to, such resignation.


 


Except as provided in the immediately preceding paragraph, no resignation or removal of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor as contemplated herein shall become effective until the Trustee (solely with respect to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) or a successor Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Operating Advisor shall have assumed the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s or the Operating Advisor’s, as applicable, responsibilities, duties, liabilities and obligations hereunder. If no successor Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Operating Advisor can be obtained to perform such obligations for the same compensation to which the terminated Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Operating Advisor would have been entitled, additional amounts payable to such successor Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Operating Advisor shall be treated as a shortfall resulting in Realized Losses; provided that, for so long as no Controlling Class Representative Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall consult with the Controlling Class Representative prior to the appointment of a successor Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Operating Advisor at a servicing or operating advisor compensation in excess of that permitted to the terminated Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Operating Advisor, as applicable.


 


If the Trustee or an Affiliate acts pursuant to this Section 6.04 as successor to the resigning Master Servicer, it may reduce the Excess Servicing Fee Rate to the extent that the Trustee’s or such Affiliate’s compensation as successor Master Servicer would otherwise be below the market rate servicing compensation. If the Trustee elects to appoint a successor to the resigning Master Servicer other than itself or an Affiliate pursuant to this Section 6.04, it may reduce the Excess Servicing Fee Rate to the extent reasonably necessary (in the sole discretion of the Trustee) for the Trustee to appoint a qualified successor Master Servicer that meets the requirements of this Section 6.04.


 


Section 6.05     Rights of the Depositor, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator in Respect of the Master Servicer and Special Servicer. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall afford the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and, subject to Section 11.13 of this Agreement, each Rating Agency, upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours access to all records maintained by it in respect of its rights and obligations hereunder and access to its officers responsible for such obligations, if reasonably related to the performance of the obligations of such Person under this Agreement. Upon request, if reasonably related to the performance of the obligations of such Person under this Agreement, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall furnish to the Depositor, each of the Underwriters, the Initial Purchasers, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator its most recent publicly available annual financial statements or 


 




  





-297-











  






 


those of its public parent. The Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder which are in default and may, but is not obligated to, perform, or cause a designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of such Person hereunder or exercise its rights hereunder, provided that the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder by virtue of such performance by the Depositor or its designee. In the event the Depositor or its designee undertakes any such action it will be reimbursed by the Trust Fund from the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.06 and Section 6.03 of this Agreement to the extent not recoverable from the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable. None of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer (with respect to the Special Servicer) or the Special Servicer (with respect to the Master Servicer) shall have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, and no such Person is obligated to monitor or supervise the performance of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer under this Agreement or otherwise. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator and neither such Person is obligated to monitor or supervise the performance of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator under this Agreement or otherwise.


 


Each of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, and the Special Servicer shall furnish such reports, certifications and information as are reasonably requested by the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in order to enable such requesting party to perform its duties hereunder, provided that for the avoidance of doubt, this shall not require any Person to prepare any reports, Certificates and information not required to be prepared hereunder.


 


Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be under any obligation to disclose confidential or proprietary information pursuant to this Section.


 


Section 6.06     Master Servicer, Special Servicer as Owner of a Certificate. The Master Servicer or an Affiliate of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or an Affiliate of the Special Servicer may become the Holder (or with respect to a Global Certificate, Beneficial Owner) of any Certificate with the same rights it would have if it were not the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or an Affiliate thereof, except as otherwise expressly provided herein. If, at any time during which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or an Affiliate of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is the Holder or Beneficial Owner of any Certificate, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer proposes to take action (including for this purpose, omitting to take action) that (i) is not expressly prohibited by the terms hereof and would not, in the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s good faith judgment, violate the Servicing Standard, and (ii) if taken, might nonetheless, in the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s good faith judgment, be considered by other Persons to violate the Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may seek the approval of the Certificateholders and any affected Serviced Companion Loan Holder to such action by delivering to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator a written notice that (i) states that it is delivered pursuant to this Section 6.06, (ii) identifies the Percentage Interest in each Class of Certificates beneficially owned by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or an Affiliate of the Master Servicer or the Special

Servicer, and (iii) describes in reasonable detail the action that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer proposes to take. The Certificate Administrator, upon receipt of such notice, shall forward it to the Certificateholders (other than the Master Servicer and its Affiliates or the Special Servicer and its Affiliates, as appropriate) together with such instructions for response as the Certificate Administrator shall reasonably determine. If at any time Certificateholders holding greater than 50% of the Voting Rights of all Certificateholders (calculated without regard to the Certificates beneficially owned by the Master Servicer or its Affiliates or the Special Servicer or its Affiliates) and any affected Serviced Companion Loan Holder shall have consented in writing to the proposal described in the written notice, and if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall act as proposed in the written notice, such action shall be deemed to comply with the Servicing Standard. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, of the reasonable expenses of the Certificate Administrator incurred pursuant to this paragraph. It is not the intent of the foregoing provision that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer be permitted to invoke the procedure set forth herein with respect to routine servicing matters arising hereunder, except in the case of unusual circumstances.


 


Section 6.07     Rating Agency Fees. The Depositor shall pay (or cause to be paid) the annual fees of each Rating Agency including, but not limited to, surveillance fees.


 


Section 6.08     Termination of the Special Servicer Without Cause.

Upon a termination (pursuant to the prior sentence) or a resignation (pursuant to Section 6.04(b) of this Agreement) of the Special Servicer with respect to the applicable Serviced Loan(s), the Controlling Class Representative or the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Controlling Note Holder, as applicable, shall appoint a successor Special Servicer with respect to the Serviced Loans (exclusive of the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Loan Combination) or the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Loan Combination, as the case may be; provided, however, that (i) such successor will meet the requirements set forth in Section 7.02 of this Agreement, (ii) the Controlling Class Representative or the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Controlling Note Holder, as applicable, shall (at no expense to the Trust) obtain and deliver to the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such proposed successor acting as a Special Servicer and (iii) in the case of the appointment of a successor

Upon the written direction of (a) Holders of Certificates (other than the Class S and Class R Certificates) evidencing at least 75% of the Voting Rights of the Certificates (other than the Class S and Class R Certificates) or (b) Holders of Non-Reduced Certificates evidencing more than 50% of the Voting Rights of each Class of Non-Reduced Certificates (considering each Class of the Class A-S, Class B and Class C Certificates together with the Class PEZ Component with the same alphabetical designation as a single “Class” for such purpose), the Trustee shall terminate all of the rights (subject to Section 3.12, Section 6.03 and Section 6.08(g) of this Agreement) and obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement with respect to the applicable Serviced Loans, and the proposed successor Special Servicer shall succeed to the duties of the Special Servicer with respect to the applicable Serviced Loans all as if a removal and replacement were occurring pursuant to Section 7.01 and Section 7.02 of this Agreement; provided that if such written direction is not provided within 180 days of the initial request for a vote to terminate and replace the Special Servicer, then such written direction shall have no force and effect. The provisions set forth in the foregoing sentences of this paragraph shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of solely the Certificateholders and the Trustee as between each other. The Special Servicer shall not have any cause of action based upon or arising from any breach or alleged breach of such provisions. As between the Special Servicer, on the one hand, and the Certificateholders, on the other, the Certificateholders shall be entitled in their sole discretion to vote for the termination or not vote for the termination of the Special Servicer.

(b)           At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Controlling Class Representative Consultation Termination Event (in the case of the Serviced Loans other than the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Loan Combination) or a Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Consultation Termination Event (in the case of the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Loan Combination), if the Operating Advisor determines that the Special Servicer is not performing its duties as required hereunder or is otherwise not acting in accordance with the Servicing Standard, the Operating Advisor shall deliver to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, with a copy to the Special Servicer, a written recommendation in the form of Exhibit T attached hereto (which form may be modified or supplemented from time to time to cure any ambiguity or error or to incorporate any additional information, subject to compliance of such form with the terms and provisions of this Agreement; provided that in no event shall the information or any other content included in such written recommendation contravene any provision of this Agreement) detailing the reasons supporting its position (along with relevant information justifying its recommendation) and recommending a replacement special servicer with respect to (i) the Serviced Loans other than the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Loan Combination or (ii) the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Loan Combination, as applicable, meeting the applicable requirements of this Agreement, which recommended special servicer has agreed to succeed the then-current Special Servicer if appointed in accordance herewith.

Upon (i) the written direction (as evidenced by votes cast) of Holders of each Class of Non-Reduced Certificates evidencing greater than 50% of the aggregate Voting Rights of each Class of Non-Reduced Certificates (considering each Class of the Class A-S, Class B and Class C Certificates together with the Class PEZ Component with the same alphabetical designation as a single “Class” for such purpose) within 180 days of the initial request for a vote (which, for the avoidance of doubt, is the date on the which the aforementioned notice was mailed to the Certificateholders) and (ii) receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency by the Certificate Administrator following satisfaction of the foregoing clause (i), the Trustee shall (x) terminate all of the rights (subject to Section 3.12, Section 6.03 and Section 6.08(g) of this Agreement) and obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement with respect to the applicable Serviced Loan(s), (y) appoint the recommended successor Special Servicer and (z) promptly notify such outgoing Special Servicer of the effective date of such termination.

If the Certificate Administrator does not receive the required written direction contemplated by clause (i) of the second preceding sentence within 180 days of the initial request for such vote (which, for the avoidance of doubt, is the date on the which the aforementioned notice was mailed to the Certificateholders), then the Trustee shall have no obligation to remove the Special Servicer and such recommendation shall lapse and have no force or effect. Prior to the appointment of any replacement special servicer, such replacement special servicer shall have agreed to succeed to the obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement with respect to the applicable Serviced Loan(s), and to act as the

Any termination fee payable to the terminated Special Servicer and any costs incurred by the Trust or the terminated Special Servicer in connection with the replacement of a Special Servicer shall be paid by the Controlling Class Representative, the Certificateholders or the Serviced Companion Loan Holder so terminating the Special Servicer and shall not in any event be an expense of the Trust Fund.

Section 6.09     The Directing Holder and the Controlling Class Representative.


 


(a)           For so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the related Directing Holder shall be entitled to advise the Special Servicer (1) with respect to the applicable Serviced Loan(s) that are Specially Serviced Loan(s) and (2) with 


 




  





-303-











  






 


respect to the applicable Serviced Loan(s) that are Performing Serviced Loan(s), as to all matters for which the Master Servicer must obtain the consent or deemed consent of the Special Servicer for a Major Decision. In addition, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, except as set forth in, and in any event subject to Section 6.09(b) and the second and third paragraphs of this Section 6.09(a), both (a) the Master Servicer shall not be permitted to take any of the actions constituting a Major Decision unless it has obtained the consent of the Special Servicer, who shall have 15 Business Days (or 60 days with respect to the determination of an Acceptable Insurance Default) (from the date that the Special Servicer receives the information from the Master Servicer) to analyze and make a recommendation regarding such Major Decision; provided that if the Special Servicer does not consent, or notify the Master Servicer that it will not consent, to such Major Decision within the required 15 Business Days or 60 days, as applicable, the Special Servicer shall be deemed to have consented to such Major Decision and (b) for so long as no applicable Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Special Servicer shall not be permitted to consent to the Master Servicer’s taking any of the actions constituting a Major Decision nor will the Special Servicer itself be permitted to take any of the actions constituting a Major Decision as to which the related Directing Holder has objected in writing within ten (10) Business Days (or in the case of a determination of an Acceptable Insurance Default, twenty (20) days) after receipt of the written recommendation and analysis from the Special Servicer; provided that if such written objection has not been received by the Special Servicer within such ten (10) Business Day period or twenty (20) day period, as applicable, then the related Directing Holder will be deemed to have approved such action; provided further, that, in the event that the Special Servicer or Master Servicer (in the event the Master Servicer is otherwise authorized by this Agreement to take such action), as applicable, determines that immediate action, with respect to a Major Decision, or any other matter requiring consent of the related Directing Holder prior to the occurrence and continuance of an applicable Control Termination Event, is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders and, with respect to any Serviced Loan Combination, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, with respect to any Serviced Loan Combination, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) constituted a single lender (and, with respect to a Serviced AB Loan Combination, taking into account the subordinate nature of the related Subordinate Companion Loan)), the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, may take any such action without waiting for the Directing Holder’s (or, if applicable, the Special Servicer’s) response. The Special Servicer is not required to obtain the consent of the related Directing Holder for any Major Decision following the occurrence and during the continuance of an applicable Control Termination Event; provided that, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an applicable Control Termination Event, the Special Servicer shall consult (on a non-binding basis) with the related Directing Holder (until the occurrence and continuance of an applicable Consultation Termination Event) and the Operating Advisor in connection with any Major Decision and consider alternative actions recommended by the related Directing Holder and the Operating Advisor, but only to the extent such consultation with, or consent of, the related Directing Holder would have been required prior to the occurrence and continuance of such applicable Control Termination Event. For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any Serviced AB Loan Combination, the Special Servicer shall be responsible for obtaining any consent or deemed consent of the related Directing Holder for “Major Decisions” (as such term is defined in the related Co-Lender Agreement) to the extent 


 




  





-304-











  






 


such consent is required under this Agreement or under the terms of the related Co-Lender Agreement.


 


In addition, for so long as no applicable Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, each of (x) the Controlling Class Representative (with respect to each Serviced Loan other than the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Loan Combination and, in the case of any Serviced AB Loan Combination, after the occurrence of an applicable Subordinate Companion Loan Control Termination Event) and (y) the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Controlling Note Holder (with respect to the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Loan Combination) may direct the Special Servicer to take, or to refrain from taking, such other actions with respect to the applicable Serviced Loan(s) as such party may reasonably deem advisable or as to which provision is otherwise made herein. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no such direction, and no objection contemplated by the preceding paragraph or this paragraph, may require or cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to violate any provision of any related Loan Documents, any related Co-Lender Agreement, any intercreditor agreement, applicable law, this Agreement or the REMIC Provisions, including without limitation each of the Master Servicer’s and the Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard, or expose the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trust Fund or the Trustee to liability, or materially expand the scope of the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s responsibilities hereunder or cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to act, or fail to act, in a manner which in the reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is not in the best interests of the Certificateholders and/or the Serviced Companion Loan Holders.


 


In the event the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, determines that a refusal to consent by a Directing Holder or any advice from a Directing Holder would otherwise cause the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, to violate the terms of any Loan Documents, any related Co-Lender Agreement or mezzanine intercreditor agreement, applicable law, the REMIC Provisions or this Agreement, including without limitation, the Servicing Standard, the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, shall disregard such refusal to consent or advise and notify in writing such Directing Holder, the Trustee and, for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 11.13 of this Agreement, the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider of its determination, including a reasonably detailed explanation of the basis therefor. The taking of, or refraining from taking, any action by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer in accordance with the direction of or approval of a Directing Holder that does not violate any law or the Servicing Standard or any other provisions of this Agreement, will not result in any liability on the part of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer.


 


For so long as no Controlling Class Representative Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Controlling Class Representative shall be entitled to, with respect to each Outside Serviced Trust Loan, exercise the consent or approval rights set forth in Section 3.01(i) of this Agreement, exercise consultation rights in respect of “Major Decisions” under, and within the meaning of, the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement and attend an annual meeting with the related Outside Servicer and the related Outside Special Servicer, in each case, to the extent the holder of such Outside Serviced Trust Loan is entitled to such rights pursuant to the related Co-Lender Agreement.

The Directing Holder will have no liability to the Trust Fund or Certificateholders for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, pursuant to this Agreement, or for error in judgment; provided, however, that the Controlling Class Representative will not be protected against any liability to any Controlling Class Certificateholder that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of negligent disregard of obligations or duties.


 


By its acceptance of a Certificate, each Certificateholder acknowledges and agrees, by its acceptance of its Certificates, that: (i) a Directing Holder may have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of Holders of one or more Classes of Certificates; (ii) a Directing Holder may act solely in its own interests (or, in the case of the Controlling Class Representative, in the interests of the Holders of the Controlling Class); (iii) a Directing Holder does not have any liability or duties to the Holders of any Class of Certificates (other than, in the case of the Controlling Class Representative, the Controlling Class); (iv) a Directing Holder may take actions that favor its own interests (or in the case of the Controlling Class Representative, the interests of the Holders of the Controlling Class) over the interests of the Holders of one or more other Classes of Certificates; and (v) a Directing Holder shall have no liability whatsoever (other than, in the case of the Controlling Class Representative, to a Controlling Class Certificateholder) for having so acted as set forth in clauses (i)-(iv) of this paragraph, and that no Certificateholder may take any action whatsoever against any Directing Holder or any affiliate, director, officer, employee, shareholder, member, partner, agent or principal thereof for having so acted; provided, however, that the rights of a Directing Holder are subject to any related mezzanine intercreditor agreement.


 


(b)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein:


 


(i)            after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Controlling Class Representative Control Termination Event or a Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Control Termination Event, as applicable, the Controlling Class Representative or the Boca Hampton Plaza Portfolio Controlling Note Holder, as applicable, shall have no right to consent to any action taken or not taken by any party to this Agreement;


 


(ii)           after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Controlling Class Representative Control Termination Event or a Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Control Termination Event, as applicable, but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Controlling Class Representative Consultation Termination Event or a Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Consultation Termination Event, as applicable, the Controlling Class Representative or the Boca Hampton Plaza Portfolio Controlling Note Holder, as applicable, shall remain entitled to receive any notices, reports or information to which it is entitled pursuant to this Agreement, and the Master Servicer, Special Servicer and any other applicable party shall consult with the Controlling Class Representative or the Boca Hampton Plaza Portfolio Controlling Note Holder, as applicable, in connection with any action to be taken or refrained from taking to the extent set forth herein; provided, however, that the Controlling Class Representative shall not be permitted to consult with respect to any Serviced AB Loan Combination prior to the occurrence and continuance of an applicable Subordinate Companion Loan Control Termination Event;


 




  





-306-











  






 


(iii)          after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Controlling Class Representative Consultation Termination Event or a Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Consultation Termination Event, as applicable, the Controlling Class Representative or the Boca Hampton Plaza Portfolio Controlling Note Holder, as applicable, shall have no consultation or consent rights hereunder and no right to receive any notices, reports or information (other than notices, reports or information required to be delivered to all Certificateholders) or any other rights as Directing Holder;


 


(iv)          after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Controlling Class Representative Consultation Termination Event, no Class of Certificates shall be the Controlling Class; and


 


(v)           in the case of an AB Loan Combination, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an applicable Subordinate Companion Loan Control Termination Event, (x) any consent and/or consultation rights of the related Subordinate Companion Loan Holder with respect to the related AB Loan Combination will terminate and (y) so long as a Controlling Class Representative Control Termination Event does not exist, the Controlling Class Representative shall be entitled to exercise the rights of the Directing Holder with respect to the related Serviced AB Loan Combination.


 


(c)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall take or refrain from taking any action pursuant to instructions from a Serviced Companion Loan Holder that would cause any one of them to violate applicable law, the terms of the related Serviced Loan Combination, the related Co-Lender Agreement, this Agreement, including the Servicing Standard, or the REMIC Provisions or that would (i) expose the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, a Mortgage Loan Seller, the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator or their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees or agents to any claim, suit or liability, (ii) materially expand the scope of the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s responsibilities, or (iii) cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to act, or fail to act, in a manner that is not in the best interests of the Certificateholders or the Servicing Standard.


 


(d)           Each Certificateholder and Beneficial Owner of a Control Eligible Certificate is hereby deemed to have agreed by virtue of its purchase of such Certificate (or beneficial ownership interest in such Certificate) to provide its name and address to the Certificate Administrator and to notify the Certificate Administrator of the transfer of any Control Eligible Certificate (or the beneficial ownership of any Control Eligible Certificate), the selection of a Controlling Class Representative or the resignation or removal thereof. Any such Certificateholder (or Beneficial Owner) or its designee at any time appointed Controlling Class Representative is hereby deemed to have agreed by virtue of its purchase of a Control Eligible Certificate (or the beneficial ownership interest in a Control Eligible Certificate) to notify the Certificate Administrator when such Certificateholder (or Beneficial Owner) or designee is appointed Controlling Class Representative and when it is removed or resigns. Upon receipt of such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Trustee of the identity of the Controlling Class Representative, any resignation or removal thereof and/or any new Holder or Beneficial Owner of a Control Eligible Certificate. In addition, upon the request of the Master Servicer, the 


 




  





-307-











  






 


Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Trustee, as applicable, the Certificate Administrator shall provide the identity of the then-current Controlling Class and a list of the Certificateholders (or Beneficial Owners, if applicable, at the expense of the Trust if such expense arises in connection with an event as to which the Controlling Class Representative or the Controlling Class has consent or consultation rights pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with a request made by the Operating Advisor in connection with its obligation under Section 3.29(d)(ii) of this Agreement to deliver a copy of the Operating Advisor Annual Report to the Controlling Class Representative, and otherwise at the expense of the requesting party) of the Controlling Class to such requesting party, and each of the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, Operating Advisor and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the information so provided by the Certificate Administrator.


 


In the event of a change in the Controlling Class, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly contact the current Holder of the Controlling Class (or its designee) or one of its affiliates or, if applicable, any successor Controlling Class Representative or Controlling Class Certificateholder(s), and determine whether such entity is the Holder (or Beneficial Owner) of at least a majority of the Controlling Class (in effect after such change in Controlling Class) by Certificate Principal Amount. If at any time the current Holder of the Controlling Class (or its designee) or one of its Affiliates, or any successor Controlling Class Representative or Controlling Class Certificateholder(s) is no longer the Holder (or Beneficial Owner) of at least a majority of the Controlling Class by Certificate Principal Amount and the Certificate Administrator has neither (i) received notice of the then-current Controlling Class Certificateholders of at least a majority of the Controlling Class by Certificate Principal Amount nor (ii) received notice of a replacement Controlling Class Representative pursuant to this Agreement, then a Controlling Class Representative Control Termination Event and a Controlling Class Representative Consultation Termination Event shall be deemed to have occurred and shall be deemed to continue until such time as the Certificate Administrator receives either such notice.


 


Upon receipt of notice of a change in Controlling Class Representative, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly forward notice thereof to each other party to this Agreement.


 


(e)           Once a Controlling Class Representative has been selected, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and each other Certificateholder (or Beneficial Owner, if applicable) shall be entitled to rely on such selection unless a majority of the Certificateholders of the Controlling Class, by Certificate Principal Amount, or such Controlling Class Representative shall have notified the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and each other Certificateholder of the Controlling Class, in writing, of the resignation of such Controlling Class Representative or the selection of a new Controlling Class Representative. Upon receipt of written notice of, or other knowledge of, the resignation of a Controlling Class Representative, the Certificate Administrator shall request the Certificateholders of the Controlling Class to select a new Controlling Class Representative.


 


(f)            If at any time a book-entry certificate belongs to the Controlling Class, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the related Beneficial Owner or Beneficial Owners 


 




  





-308-











  






 


(through the Depository, unless the Certificate Administrator shall have been previously provided with the name and address of such Beneficial Owner or Beneficial Owners) of such event and shall request that it be informed of any change in the identity of the related Beneficial Owner from time to time.


 


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


 


(h)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, at any time when the Class E Certificates are the Controlling Class Certificates, the Holder of more than 50% of the Controlling Class Certificates (by Certificate Principal Amount) may waive its right to act as or appoint a Controlling Class Representative and to exercise any of the rights of the Controlling Class Representative or cause the exercise of any of the rights of the Controlling Class Representative set forth in this Agreement, by irrevocable written notice delivered to the Depositor, Certificate Administrator, Trustee, Master Servicer, Special Servicer and Operating Advisor (any such Holder or group of affiliated Holders that makes such an election, the “Opting-Out Party”). Any such waiver shall remain effective, and a Controlling Class Representative Control Termination Event and a Controlling Class Representative Consultation Termination Event shall be deemed to have occurred and shall be deemed to continue, with respect to such Holder and such Class until such time as either (x) the Class E Certificates are no longer the Controlling Class of Certificates or (y) the Opting-Out Party has (i) sold a majority of the Class E Certificates (by Certificate Principal Amount) to an unaffiliated third party and (ii) certified to the Depositor, Certificate Administrator, Trustee, Master Servicer, Special Servicer and Operating Advisor that (a) the Opting-Out Party retains no direct or indirect voting rights with respect to the Class E Certificates that it does not own, (b) there is no voting agreement between the Opting-Out Party and the transferee and (c) the Opting-Out Party retains no direct or indirect economic interest in the Class E Certificates (such sale and certification, a “Class E Transfer”). Following any such Class E Transfer, or if the Class E Certificates are no longer the Controlling Class of Certificates, the successor holder of more than 50% of the Controlling Class of Certificates (by Certificate Principal Amount) shall again have the rights of a Controlling Class Representative as set forth herein without regard to any prior waiver by the predecessor Certificateholder. Such successor Certificateholder shall also have the right as provided in this Section 6.09(h) to irrevocably waive its right to act as or appoint a Controlling Class Representative or to exercise any of the rights of the Controlling Class Representative or to cause the exercise of any of the rights of the Controlling Class Representative as set forth in this Agreement. No successor Certificateholder described above in this paragraph shall have any consent rights with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan that became a Specially Serviced Loan prior to the Class E Transfer and had not also become a Corrected Loan prior to such Class E Transfer until such time as such Serviced Mortgage Loan becomes a Corrected Loan.

(ix)           the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator receives written notice from DBRS (which the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, shall forward to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable) to the effect that continuation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in such capacity would result or has resulted in the downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of any rating then assigned by DBRS to any Class of Certificates or any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities and citing servicing concerns with such Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, as the sole or material factor in such rating action, and such notice or rating action, as applicable, is not rescinded within 60 days; or

In the event that the Master Servicer is also the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer is terminated as provided in this Section 7.01, the Master Servicer shall also be terminated as Special Servicer.


 


(b)           If the Master Servicer receives notice of termination under Section 7.01(c) solely due to a Servicer Termination Event under Section 7.01(a)(viii) or Section 7.01(a)(ix) and if the Master Servicer to be terminated pursuant to Section 7.01(c) provides the Trustee with the appropriate “request for proposal” materials within five (5) Business Days following such termination notice, then the Master Servicer shall continue to service as Master Servicer hereunder until a successor Master Servicer is selected in accordance with this Section 7.01(b). Upon receipt of the “request for proposal” materials, Trustee shall promptly thereafter (using such “request for proposal” materials provided by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 7.01(c)) solicit good faith bids for the rights to service the Mortgage Loans and the Serviced Loan Combinations under this Agreement from at least three (3) Persons qualified to act as a successor Master Servicer hereunder in accordance with Section 6.04 (any such Person so qualified, a “Qualified Bidder”) or, if three (3) Qualified Bidders cannot be located, then from as many persons as the Trustee can determine are Qualified Bidders; provided that, the Master Servicer shall supply the Trustee with the names of Persons from whom to solicit such bids; and provided, further, that the Trustee shall not be responsible if less than three (3) or no Qualified Bidders submit bids for the right to service the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement. The bid proposal shall require any Successful Bidder (as defined below), as a condition of such bid, to enter into this Agreement as successor Master Servicer, and to agree to be bound by the terms hereof, within 45 days after the notice of termination of the Master Servicer. The Trustee shall select the Qualified Bidder with the highest cash bid (the “Successful Bidder”) to act as successor Master Servicer hereunder; provided, however, that if the Trustee does not receive a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency within 10 days after the selection of such Successful Bidder, then the Trustee shall repeat the bid process described above (but subject to the above-described 45-day time period) until such confirmation is obtained. The Trustee shall request the Successful Bidder to enter into this Agreement as successor Master Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof no later than 45 days after notice of the termination of the Master Servicer.


 


Upon the assignment and acceptance of master servicing rights hereunder (subject to the terms of Section 3.12 of this Agreement) to and by the Successful Bidder, the Trustee shall remit or cause to be remitted to the Master Servicer to be terminated pursuant to Section 7.01(c) of this Agreement, the amount of such cash bid received from the Successful Bidder (net of “out-of-pocket” expenses incurred in connection with obtaining such bid and transferring servicing).


 


The Master Servicer to be terminated pursuant to Section 7.01(c) of this Agreement shall be responsible for all out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the attempt to sell its rights to service the Mortgage Loans and the Serviced Loan Combinations, which expenses are not reimbursed to the party that incurred such expenses pursuant to the preceding paragraph.


 




  





-313-











  






 


If the Successful Bidder has not entered into this Agreement as successor Master Servicer within the above-described time period or no Successful Bidder was identified within the above-described time period, the Master Servicer to be terminated pursuant to Section 7.01(c) shall reimburse the Trustee for all reasonable “out-of-pocket” expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with such bid process and the Trustee shall have no further obligations under this Section 7.01(b). The Trustee thereafter may act or may select a successor to act as Master Servicer hereunder in accordance with Section 7.02.


 


(c)           In the event that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is terminated pursuant to this Section 7.01, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be (the “Terminated Party”), terminate all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and Serviced Loan Combination and the proceeds thereof, other than any rights the Master Servicer or Special Servicer may have hereunder as a Certificateholder and any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination (including the right to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement, plus interest at the Advance Rate on such amounts until received to the extent such amounts bear interest as provided in this Agreement, with respect to periods prior to the date of such termination and the right to the benefits of Section 6.03 and subsection (b) above notwithstanding any such termination). On or after the receipt by the Terminated Party of such written notice, all of its authority and power under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates (except that the Terminated Party shall retain its rights as a Certificateholder in the event and to the extent that it is a Certificateholder) or the Mortgage Loans and Serviced Loan Combination or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under this Section and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of and at the expense of the Terminated Party, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and Serviced Loan Combination and related documents, or otherwise. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each agrees that, in the event it is terminated pursuant to this Section 7.01, to promptly (and in any event no later than ten Business Days subsequent to such notice) provide, at its own expense, the Trustee (or the successor Master Servicer selected by the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.01(b) of this Agreement or the successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, otherwise appointed pursuant to Section 7.02 of this Agreement) with all documents and records requested by the Trustee (or the successor Master Servicer selected by the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.01(b) of this Agreement or the successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, otherwise appointed pursuant to Section 7.02 of this Agreement) to enable the Trustee or other successor to its responsibilities hereunder to assume its functions hereunder, and to cooperate with the Trustee and the successor to its responsibilities hereunder in effecting the termination and transfer of its responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be or should have been credited by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to the Collection Account, any Loan Combination Custodial Account, any REO Account or Lock-Box Account shall thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans and Serviced Loan Combination, and shall promptly provide the Trustee or such successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer (which may include the Trustee), as applicable, all documents and records reasonably requested by it, such documents and records 


 




  





-314-











  






 


to be provided in such form as the Trustee or such successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall reasonably request (including electromagnetic form), to enable it to assume the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s function hereunder. All reasonable costs and expenses actually incurred by the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer in connection with transferring Mortgage Files, Servicing Files and related information, records and reports to the successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer and amending this Agreement to reflect (as well as providing appropriate notices to Mortgagors, ground lessors, insurers and other applicable third parties regarding) such succession as successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer pursuant to this Section 7.01 shall be paid by the predecessor Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses. If the predecessor Master Servicer or Special Servicer (as the case may be) has not reimbursed the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer for such expenses within 90 days after the presentation of reasonable documentation, such expense shall be reimbursed by the Trust Fund; provided that the Terminated Party shall not thereby be relieved of its liability for such expenses.


 


(d)           Notwithstanding Sections 7.01(a) and Section 7.01(c), if (1) any Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Master Servicer affects a Serviced Companion Loan, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder or the rating on a class of the related Serviced Companion Loan Securities and the Master Servicer is not otherwise terminated in accordance with Section 7.01(c), or (2) a Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Master Servicer occurs that affects only a Serviced Companion Loan, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder or the rating on a class of the related Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the Master Servicer may not be terminated in accordance with Section 7.01(c), but, at the written direction of the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, the Master Servicer shall appoint, within 30 days of such direction, a sub-servicer (or, if the related Serviced Loan Combination is currently being sub-serviced, to replace, within 30 days of such direction, the then current sub-servicer with a new sub-servicer). In connection with the Master Servicer’s appointment of any sub-servicer at the direction of a Serviced Companion Loan Holder in accordance with this Section 7.01(d), the Master Servicer shall obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency. The related sub-servicing agreement shall provide that any sub-servicer appointed by the Master Servicer at the direction of a Serviced Companion Loan Holder in accordance with this Section 7.01(d) shall be responsible for all duties, and shall be entitled to all compensation (other than the Excess Servicing Fee Right), of the Master Servicer under this Agreement with respect to the related Serviced Loan Combination, except that the Master Servicer shall be entitled to retain a portion of the Servicing Fee for the Mortgage Loan that is part of the related Serviced Loan Combination calculated at 0% per annum with respect to such Mortgage Loan (and any related REO Mortgage Loan). Such sub-servicing agreement (a) may be terminated without cause and without payment of any fee and (b) shall also provide that such sub-servicer shall agree to become the master servicer under a separate servicing agreement for the applicable Serviced Loan Combination in the event that such Serviced Loan Combination is no longer to be serviced and administered hereunder, which separate servicing agreement shall contain servicing and administration, limitation of liability, indemnification and servicing compensation provisions substantially similar to the corresponding provisions of this Agreement, except for the fact that the applicable Serviced Loan Combination and the related Mortgaged Properties shall be the sole assets serviced and administered thereunder and the sole source of 


 




  





-315-











  






 


funds thereunder. If any sub-servicer appointed by the Master Servicer at the direction of a Serviced Companion Loan Holder in accordance with this Section 7.01(d) shall at any time resign or be terminated, the Master Servicer shall be required to promptly appoint a substitute sub-servicer and obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation. In the event a successor Master Servicer is acting hereunder and that successor Master Servicer desires to terminate the sub-servicer appointed under this Section 7.01(d), the terminated Master Servicer that was responsible for the Servicer Termination Event that led to the appointment of such sub-servicer shall be responsible for all costs incurred in connection with such termination, including the payment of any termination fee.


 


(e)           If the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Master Servicer has received written notice (which, for the purposes of this clause (e), shall include any publications by Moody’s, DBRS or KBRA of which the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or any Servicing Officer of the Master Servicer, as the case may be, has actual knowledge) from Moody’s, DBRS or KBRA that the Master Servicer no longer is an approved master servicer then such party shall promptly notify the others and the Special Servicer, and the Certificate Administrator shall notify the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder of the same.


 


Section 7.02     Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. On and after the time the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.01, the Trustee shall, subject to the following provisions of this Section 7.02, be its successor in all respects in its capacity as Master Servicer or Special Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and, except as provided herein, shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties, limitations on liability and liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter placed on the Master Servicer or Special Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof; provided, however, that (i) the Trustee shall have no responsibilities, duties, liabilities or obligations with respect to any act or omission of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer and (ii) any failure to perform, or delay in performing, such duties or responsibilities caused by the Terminated Party’s failure to provide, or delay in providing, records, tapes, disks, information or moneys shall not be considered a default by such successor hereunder. The Trustee, as successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer, shall be indemnified to the full extent provided the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, under this Agreement prior to the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s termination. The appointment of a successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer shall not affect any liability of the predecessor Master Servicer or Special Servicer which may have arisen prior to its termination as Master Servicer or Special Servicer. The Trustee shall not be liable for any of the representations, liabilities or warranties of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer herein or in any related document or agreement, for any acts or omissions of the predecessor Master Servicer or predecessor Special Servicer or for any losses incurred in respect of any Permitted Investment by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.07 of this Agreement nor shall the Trustee be required to purchase any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination hereunder. As compensation therefor, the Trustee as successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee or Special Servicing Compensation, as applicable, and all funds relating to the Mortgage Loans and Serviced Companion Loans that accrue after the date of the Trustee’s succession to which the Master Servicer or Special Servicer would have been entitled if the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, had continued to act hereunder. In the event any Advances made by the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall at any time be 


 




  





-316-











  






 


outstanding, or any amounts of interest thereon shall be accrued and unpaid, all amounts available to repay Advances and interest hereunder shall be applied entirely to the Advances made by the Trustee (and the accrued and unpaid interest thereon), until such Advances and interest shall have been repaid in full. Notwithstanding the above and subject to Section 6.08, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so act, or if the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights so request in writing to the Trustee, or if the Rating Agencies do not provide Rating Agency Confirmations with respect to the Trustee so acting, promptly appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established mortgage loan servicing institution for which a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency has been obtained (at the expense of the terminated Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, or, if the expense is not so recovered, at the expense of the Trust Fund), as the successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer hereunder; provided that, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Controlling Class Representative Control Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative shall have the right (and prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Control Termination Event, the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Controlling Note Holder shall have the right) to approve any such successor Special Servicer with respect to the applicable Serviced Loan(s). No appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer hereunder shall be effective until the assumption by such successor of all the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder. Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer if the Special Servicer is also the Master Servicer) hereunder, unless the Trustee shall be prohibited by law from so acting, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as herein above provided. Pending the appointment of a successor to the Special Servicer, unless the Master Servicer is also the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer shall act in such capacity. In connection with such appointment and assumption described herein, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans and Serviced Companion Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the Terminated Party hereunder; provided, further, that if no successor to the Terminated Party can be obtained to perform the obligations of such Terminated Party hereunder, additional amounts shall be paid to such successor and such amounts in excess of that permitted the Terminated Party shall be treated as Realized Losses; provided, further that, for so long as no Controlling Class Representative Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall consult with the Controlling Class Representative (and, if the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Loan Combination is affected and no Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall consult with the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Controlling Note Holder) prior to the appointment of a successor to the Terminated Party at such amounts in excess of that permitted the Terminated Party. The Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.


 


If the Trustee or an Affiliate acts pursuant to this Section 7.02 as successor to the terminated Master Servicer, it may reduce the Excess Servicing Fee Rate to the extent that the Trustee’s or such Affiliate’s compensation as successor Master Servicer would otherwise be 


 




  





-317-











  






 


below the market rate servicing compensation. If the Trustee elects to appoint a successor to the terminated Master Servicer other than itself or an Affiliate pursuant to this Section 7.02, it may reduce the Excess Servicing Fee Rate to the extent reasonably necessary (in the sole discretion of the Trustee) for the Trustee to appoint a qualified successor Master Servicer that meets the requirements of this Section 7.02.


 


Section 7.03     Notification to Certificateholders.


 


(a)           Upon any termination pursuant to Section 7.01 above or appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register, to the Serviced Companion Loan Holders, and electronically, for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 11.13 of this Agreement, to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider.


 


(b)           Within 30 days after the occurrence of any Servicer Termination Event or Operating Advisor Termination Event of which a Responsible Officer of the Certificate Administrator has actual knowledge, the Certificate Administrator shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Certificates and any affected Serviced Companion Loan Holder (to the extent the Certificate Administrator has received the notice information for such Serviced Companion Loan Holder after a request therefor) and electronically, for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 11.13 of this Agreement, to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider notice of such Servicer Termination Event or Operating Advisor Termination Event, unless such Servicer Termination Event or Operating Advisor Termination Event shall have been cured or waived.


 


Section 7.04     Other Remedies of Trustee. During the continuance of any Servicer Termination Event, so long as such Servicer Termination Event shall not have been remedied, the Trustee, in addition to the rights specified in Section 7.01, shall have the right, in its own name as trustee of an express trust, to take all actions now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute to enforce its rights and remedies and to protect the interests, and enforce the rights and remedies, of the Certificateholders and the Serviced Companion Loan Holders (including the institution and prosecution of all judicial, administrative and other proceedings and the filing of proofs of claim and debt in connection therewith). In such event, the legal fees, expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the defaulting Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable. If the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, fails to remedy, after the presentation of reasonable documentation, the Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such expenses, costs and liability from the Collection Account or the Loan Combination Custodial Account, as applicable, as provided in Section 3.06 and Section 3.06A of this Agreement; provided that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall not be relieved of such liability for such expenses, costs and liabilities. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no remedy provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy and no delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy shall impair any such right or remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Servicer Termination Event of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer.


 




  





-318-











  






 


Section 7.05     Waiver of Past Servicer Termination Events and Operating Advisor Termination Events; Termination. The Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 66-2/3% of the aggregate Voting Rights of the Certificates (and, if such Servicer Termination Event is on the part of a Special Servicer, with respect to the related Serviced Loan Combination only, by each affected Serviced Companion Loan Holder) may, on behalf of all Holders of Certificates, waive any Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or any Operating Advisor Termination Event on the part of the Operating Advisor in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences, except a Servicer Termination Event in connection with making any required deposits (including, with respect to the Master Servicer, P&I Advances) to or payments from the Collection Account, a Loan Combination Custodial Account or the Lower-Tier Distribution Account or in remitting payments as received, in each case in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Servicer Termination Event or Operating Advisor Termination Event arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon. Any costs and expenses incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with such default and prior to such waiver shall be reimbursed by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, promptly upon demand therefor and if not reimbursed to the Certificate Administrator within 90 days of such demand, from the Trust Fund; provided that the Trust Fund shall be reimbursed by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, to the extent such amounts are reimbursed to the Certificate Administrator from the Trust Fund. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) a Servicer Termination Event under any of Section 7.01(a)(i) and Section 7.01(a)(ii) of this Agreement may be waived only by all of the Certificateholders of the affected Classes (considering each Class of the Class A-S, Class B and Class C Certificates together with the Class PEZ Component of the same alphabetical designation as a single “Class” for such purpose), and (b) a Servicer Termination Event under Section 7.01(a)(x) of this Agreement may be waived only with the consent of the Depositor, together with (in the case of each of clauses (a) and (b)) the consent of each Serviced Companion Loan Holder, if any, that is affected by such Servicer Termination Event.


 


The foregoing paragraph notwithstanding, if the Holders representing at least the requisite percentage of the Voting Rights allocated to each affected Class of Certificates desire to waive a Servicer Termination Event by the Master Servicer, but a Serviced Companion Loan Holder related to a Serviced Loan Combination (if adversely affected thereby) does not wish to waive that Servicer Termination Event, then those Certificateholders may still waive that Servicer Termination Event, and the applicable Serviced Companion Loan Holder will be entitled to request that the Master Servicer appoint, within 60 days of the applicable Serviced Companion Loan Holder’s request, a sub-servicer (or, if the applicable Serviced Loan Combination is currently being subserviced, to replace, within 60 days of the applicable Serviced Companion Loan Holder’s request, the then current sub-servicer with a new sub-servicer) with respect to the applicable Serviced Loan Combination. In connection with the Master Servicer’s appointment of a sub-servicer at the request of a Serviced Companion Loan Holder in accordance with this Section 7.05, the Master Servicer shall obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency at the expense of the Serviced Companion Loan Holder. The related sub-servicing agreement shall provide that any sub-servicer appointed by the Master Servicer at the request of a Serviced Companion Loan Holder in accordance with this 


 




  





-319-











  






 


Section 7.05 shall be responsible for all duties, and shall be entitled to all compensation (other than the Excess Servicing Fee Right), of the Master Servicer under this Agreement with respect to the applicable Serviced Loan Combination, except that the Master Servicer shall be entitled to retain a portion of the master servicing fee for the related Mortgage Loan calculated at 0% per annum. Such Sub-Servicing Agreement (a) may be terminated without cause and without the payment of any fee and (b) shall also provide that such sub-servicer shall become the master servicer under a separate servicing agreement for the applicable Serviced Loan Combination in the event that the Serviced Loan Combination is no longer to be serviced and administered hereunder, which separate servicing agreement shall contain servicing and administration, limitation of liability, indemnification and servicing compensation provisions substantially similar to the corresponding provisions of this Agreement, except for the fact that the applicable Serviced Loan Combination and the related Mortgaged Properties shall be the sole assets serviced and administered thereunder and the sole source of funds thereunder. Such sub-servicer (a) may be terminated without cause and without the payment of any fee and (b) shall meet the requirements of Section 3.01 of this Agreement. If any sub-servicer appointed by the Master Servicer at the request of a Serviced Companion Loan Holder in accordance with this Section 7.05 shall at any time resign or be terminated, the Master Servicer shall be required to promptly appoint a substitute sub-servicer with respect to which a Rating Agency Confirmation has been obtained at the expense of the applicable resigning or terminated sub-servicer (and any applicable Sub-Servicing Agreement shall so provide), and if the resigning or terminated sub-servicer fails to cover such expense, the Master Servicer shall do so. In the event a successor Master Servicer is acting hereunder and that successor Master Servicer desires to terminate the sub-servicer appointed under this Section 7.05, the terminated Master Servicer that was responsible for the Servicer Termination Event that led to the appointment of such sub-servicer shall be responsible for all costs incurred in connection with such termination, including the payment of any termination fee.


 


Section 7.06     Termination of the Operating Advisor.


 


(a)           An “Operating Advisor Termination Event” means any one of the following events whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body:


 


(i)            any failure by the Operating Advisor to observe or perform in any material respect any of its covenants or agreements or the material breach of its representations or warranties under this Agreement, which failure shall continue unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which written notice of such failure shall have been given to the Operating Advisor by the Trustee or to the Operating Advisor and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates having greater than 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights of all then outstanding Certificates; provided, however, that with respect to any such failure which is not curable within such 30-day period, the Operating Advisor shall have an additional cure period of thirty (30) days to effect such cure so long as it has commenced to cure such failure with the initial 30-day period and has provided the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator with an Officer’s Certificate certifying that it has diligently pursued, and is continuing to pursue, such cure;


 




  





-320-











  






 


(ii)           any failure by the Operating Advisor to perform in accordance with the Operating Advisor Standard which failure shall continue unremedied for a period of 30 days;


 


(iii)          any failure by the Operating Advisor to be an Eligible Operating Advisor, which failure shall continue unremedied for a period of 30 days;


 


(iv)          a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case under any present or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law for the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Operating Advisor, and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days;


 


(v)           the Operating Advisor shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator or liquidation committee in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities, voluntary liquidation, or similar proceedings of or relating to the Operating Advisor or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or


 


(vi)          the Operating Advisor shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations.


 


Upon receipt by the Certificate Administrator of notice of the occurrence of any Operating Advisor Termination Event, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice to all Certificateholders by posting such notice on its internet website, unless the Certificate Administrator has received notice that it has been remedied. If an Operating Advisor Termination Event shall occur then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Operating Advisor Termination Event shall not have been remedied, either the Trustee (i) may or (ii) upon the written direction of holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights of each Class of Non-Reduced Certificates, the Trustee shall, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Operating Advisor under this Agreement, other than rights and obligations accrued prior to such termination (including the right to receive all amounts accrued and owing to it under this Agreement) and other than indemnification rights (arising out of events occurring prior to such termination), by notice in writing to the Operating Advisor. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Depositor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to notify the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee of any Operating Advisor Termination Event of which the Depositor becomes aware.


 


(b)           Upon (i) the written direction of holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 15% of the Voting Rights of the Non-Reduced Certificates requesting a vote to terminate and replace the Operating Advisor with a proposed successor Operating Advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor and (ii) payment by such Holders to the Certificate Administrator of the reasonable fees and expenses to be incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection 


 




  





-321-











  






 


with administering such vote, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice thereof to the Operating Advisor and to all Certificateholders by (i) posting such notice on its internet website, and (ii) mailing such notice to all Certificateholders at their addresses appearing in the Certificate Register and to the Operating Advisor. Upon the written direction of holders of Certificates evidencing more than 50% of the Voting Rights of the Non-Reduced Certificates that exercise their right to vote (provided that Holders of at least 50% of the Voting Rights of the Non-Reduced Certificates exercise their right to vote), the Trustee shall terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Operating Advisor under this Agreement by notice in writing to the Operating Advisor. The provisions set forth in the foregoing sentences of this Section 7.06(b) shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of solely the Certificateholders and the Trustee as between each other. The Operating Advisor shall not have any cause of action based upon or arising from any breach or alleged breach of such provisions. As between the Operating Advisor, on the one hand, and the Certificateholders, on the other, the Certificateholders shall be entitled in their sole discretion to vote for the termination or not vote for the termination of the Operating Advisor. The Certificate Administrator shall include on each Distribution Date Statement a statement that each Certificateholder and Beneficial Owner may access notices on the Certificate Administrator’s Website and each Certificateholder and Beneficial Owner may register to receive e-mail notifications when such notices are posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website; provided that the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to reimbursement from the requesting Certificateholders for the reasonable expenses of posting such notices.


 


(c)           On or after the receipt by the Operating Advisor of such written notice of termination, subject to the foregoing, all of its authority and power under this Agreement shall be terminated and, without limitation, the terminated Operating Advisor shall execute any and all documents and other instruments, and do or accomplish all other acts or things reasonably necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination. As soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 Business Days after (1) the Operating Advisor resigns pursuant to Section 6.04 of this Agreement (excluding resignation under the circumstances contemplated in Section 6.04(b) where no successor Operating Advisor is required to be appointed) or (2) the Trustee delivers such written notice of termination to the Operating Advisor, the Trustee shall appoint a successor Operating Advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor, which successor Operating Advisor may be an Affiliate of the Trustee and shall be the proposed Operating Advisor in the case of a termination pursuant to Section 7.06(b) of this Agreement; provided, however, that if the Trustee is the successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer, neither the Trustee nor any of its Affiliates shall be the successor Operating Advisor.

The Depositor and the Trustee acting jointly may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee, or if the separate trustee or co-trustee is an employee of the Trustee, the Trustee acting alone may accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.

(i)            reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Serviced Loans which are required to be distributed on a Certificate of any Class or to any Serviced Companion Loan Holder, as applicable, without the consent of the Holder of that Certificate or that Serviced Companion Loan Holder, as applicable;


 


(ii)           reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to the amendment without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of that Class then outstanding;

(viii)        change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Underwriter or Initial Purchaser without the consent of the affected Underwriter or Initial Purchaser.


 


In the event that neither the Depositor nor any successor thereto, if any, is in existence, any amendment under this Section 11.07 shall be effective with the consent of the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian (if the Trustee is then acting as Custodian), the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, in writing, and to the extent


 




  





-377-











  






 


required by this Section, the Certificateholders, the Serviced Companion Loan Holders, the Mortgage Loan Sellers, the Underwriters and/or the Initial Purchasers, as applicable. Promptly after the execution of any amendment, the Master Servicer shall forward a copy thereof to the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian (if the Trustee is then acting as Custodian), the Special Servicer, each Serviced Companion Loan Holder, each Mortgage Loan Seller, each Underwriter, each Initial Purchaser and the Certificate Administrator and shall furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment to each Certificateholder, as applicable, and, for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 11.13 of this Agreement, the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider. It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders or the Serviced Companion Loan Holders, the Mortgage Loan Sellers, Underwriters or the Initial Purchasers, as applicable, under this Section 11.07 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The method of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders or the Serviced Companion Loan Holders, the Mortgage Loan Sellers, Underwriters or the Initial Purchasers, as applicable, shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe; provided, however, that such method shall always be by affirmation and in writing.


 


Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, no amendment shall be made to this Agreement or any Custodial Agreement unless, if requested by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Custodian (if the Trustee is then acting as Custodian), and/or the Certificate Administrator, such party shall have received an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party requesting such amendment (or, if such amendment is required by any Rating Agency to maintain the rating issued by it or requested by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator for any purpose described in clause (i) or (ii) of the first sentence of this Section, then at the expense of the Trust Fund), to the effect that such amendment will not cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes at any time that any Certificates are outstanding, and will not cause a tax to be imposed on the Trust Fund (other than a tax at the highest marginal corporate tax rate on net income from foreclosure property pursuant to Code Section 860G(c)). Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement or any Custodial Agreement, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian (if the Trustee is then acting as Custodian), the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer may request and shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party requesting such amendment (or, if such amendment is required by any Rating Agency to maintain the rating issued by it or requested by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator for any purpose described in clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (v) (which do not modify or otherwise relate solely to the obligations, duties or rights of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable) of the first sentence of this Section, then at the expense of the Trust Fund) stating that the execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement, and that all conditions precedent to such amendment are satisfied. Each of the Trustee, the Custodian (if the Trustee is then acting as Custodian) and the Certificate Administrator may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment which affects the Trustee’s, the Custodian’s (if the Trustee is then acting as Custodian) or the Certificate Administrator’s, as applicable, own rights, duties or immunities under this Agreement. The party requesting an amendment to this Agreement shall provide to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider, for posting on the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s

Section 11.08     Confirmation of Intent. The Depositor intends that the conveyance of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute a sale and not a pledge of security for a loan. If such conveyance is deemed to be a pledge of security for a loan, however, the Depositor intends that the rights and obligations of the parties to such loan shall be established pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Depositor also intends and agrees that, in such event, (i) the Depositor shall be deemed to have granted to the Trustee (in such capacity) a first priority security interest in the Depositor’s entire right, title and interest in and to the assets comprising the Trust Fund, including without limitation, the Mortgage Loans, all principal and interest received or receivable with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than principal and interest payments due and payable prior to the Cut-Off Date and Principal Prepayments received prior to the Cut-Off Date), all amounts held from time to time in the Collection Account, each Distribution Account, the Exchangeable Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account and, if established, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account and the REO Account, and all reinvestment earnings on such amounts, and all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to any Insurance Proceeds related to such Mortgage Loans and (ii) this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law. This Section 11.08 shall constitute notice to the Trustee pursuant to any of the requirements of the applicable UCC.


 


Section 11.09     Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as provided in the next sentence, no Persons other than a party to this Agreement, any Serviced Companion Loan Holder (unless it is the Mortgagor under the applicable Serviced Companion Loan or an Affiliate thereof) and any Certificateholder, shall have any rights with respect to the enforcement of any of the rights or obligations hereunder. Any Underwriter or Initial Purchaser (with respect to its rights to receive any documents, certifications, information and/or indemnification hereunder and its rights under Section 2.02, Section 5.03 and Section 11.07 of this Agreement), any Serviced Companion Loan Holder, any Mortgage Loan Seller (with respect to its rights under Section 2.03(a), Section 2.03(b), Section 2.03(c), Section 3.09(d)(i), Section 11.07 and Section 11.16 of this Agreement and its rights as a Privileged Person), any Other Depositor and Other Exchange Act Reporting Party (with respect to its rights under Article X of this Agreement) and, subject to Section 11.02 of this Agreement, any Certificateholder (which are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement) shall have the right to enforce their respective rights and obligations hereunder (in the case of any Serviced Companion Loan Holder, to the extent they affect the related Serviced Companion Loan and provided that such Serviced Companion Loan Holder is not the Mortgagor under the related Companion Loan or an Affiliate thereof) as if each such Person was a party hereto.


 


Without limiting the foregoing, the parties to this Agreement specifically state that no Mortgagor, property manager or other party to a Mortgage Loan is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Agreement.

Section 11.14     Precautionary Trust Indenture Act Provisions.


 


In the event that the Depositor, upon consultation with the Trustee, notifies the parties to this Agreement that it has determined that the TIA applies to this Agreement or that that qualification under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “TIA”), or any similar federal statute hereafter enacted is required (any such determination by the Depositor, a “TIA Applicability Determination”), then, (i) in the case of the TIA, pursuant to Section 318 of the TIA (assuming such section is then in effect), the provisions of Sections 310 to and including Section 317 of the TIA that impose duties on any person shall be part of and govern this Agreement, whether or not physically contained herein, as and to the extent provided in Section 318 of the TIA; provided, however, that it shall be deemed that the parties to this Agreement have agreed that, to the extent permitted under the TIA, this Agreement shall expressly exclude any non-mandatory provisions that (x) conflict with the provisions of this Agreement or would otherwise alter the provisions of this Agreement or (y) increase the obligations, liabilities or scope of responsibility of any party hereto; (ii) the parties agree to cooperate in good faith with the Depositor to make such amendments to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of this Agreement to such extent as shall be necessary to effect the qualification of this Agreement under the TIA or such similar statute and to add to this Agreement such other provisions as may be expressly required by the TIA or as may be determined by the parties to be beneficial for compliance with the TIA; and (iii) upon the direction of the Depositor, the Trustee shall file a Form T-1 or such other form as the Depositor informs the Trustee is required, with the Commission or other appropriate institution.

-384-











  






 


benefit of any securitization indemnification provisions that specifically run to the benefit of the lenders in the Loan Documents. Therefore, the Depositor, Master Servicer, Special Servicer and Trustee hereby agree to reasonably cooperate with any Mortgage Loan Seller, at the sole expense of such Mortgage Loan Seller, with respect to obtaining the benefits of the provisions of any section of a Loan Agreement or securitization cooperation agreement providing for indemnification of the lender and/or its loan seller affiliates with respect to the current securitization of the related Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, reassignment to the related Mortgage Loan Seller of such sections, but no other portion, of the Loan Documents, to permit the related Mortgage Loan Seller to enforce such provisions for its benefit; provided, that none of the Depositor, Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Trustee shall be required to take any action that is inconsistent with the Servicing Standard, would violate applicable law, the terms and provisions of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, would adversely affect any Certificateholder, would cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes, or would result in the imposition of a “prohibited transaction” or “prohibited contribution” tax under the REMIC Provisions. To the extent that the Trustee is required to execute any document facilitating an assignment under this Section 11.15, such document shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.


 


Section 11.16     PNC Bank, National Association.

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


 


This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 2015 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee, and Citibank, N.A., as Certificate Administrator. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


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


 


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


 




  





A-1-2











  






 


Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in March 2015 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class A-1 Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to a share of Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


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


 


All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provides the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.


 


Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


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


 


As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-Off Date (or with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of the substitution); (iii) any REO Property (but in the case of each Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related REO Property); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but in the case of each Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the revenues received in respect of such REO Property); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the


 




  





A-1-3











  




 


Trustee’s rights in any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s rights under any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loans; (viii) all of the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s rights in the Escrow Accounts and Lock-Box Accounts and all proceeds of the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, each Distribution Account, the Exchangeable Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account, any REO Account and the Excess Interest Distribution Account, including reinvestment income thereon; (ix) the Trustee’s rights in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (x) the Depositor’s rights under the Loan Purchase Agreements, the RTI Guaranty and the RFT Guaranty to the extent assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (xi) the Interest Deposit Amount; and (xii) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests.




 


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


 


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

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


 


This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 2015 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee, and Citibank, N.A., as Certificate Administrator. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


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


 


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

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in March 2015 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class A-2 Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to a share of Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class A-2 Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.


 


All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provides the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.


 


Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


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


 


As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-Off Date (or with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of the substitution); (iii) any REO Property (but in the case of each Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related REO Property); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but in the case of each Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the revenues received in respect of such REO Property); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the

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


 


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

The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class A-3 Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.


 


All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provides the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.


 


Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


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

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


 


This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 2015 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee, and Citibank, N.A., as Certificate Administrator. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


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


 


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


 




  





A-4-2











  






 


Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in March 2015 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class A-4 Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to a share of Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class A-4 Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.


 


All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provides the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.


 


Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


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

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


 


This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 2015 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee, and Citibank, N.A., as Certificate Administrator. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


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


 


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


 




  





A-5-2











  






 


Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in March 2015 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class A-5 Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to a share of Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class A-5 Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.


 


All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provides the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.


 


Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


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


 


As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-Off Date (or with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of the substitution); (iii) any REO Property (but in the case of each Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related REO Property); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but in the case of each Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the revenues received in respect of such REO Property); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the 


 




  





A-5-3











  




 


Trustee’s rights in any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s rights under any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loans; (viii) all of the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s rights in the Escrow Accounts and Lock-Box Accounts and all proceeds of the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, each Distribution Account, the Exchangeable Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account, any REO Account and the Excess Interest Distribution Account, including reinvestment income thereon; (ix) the Trustee’s rights in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (x) the Depositor’s rights under the Loan Purchase Agreements, the RTI Guaranty and the RFT Guaranty to the extent assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (xi) the Interest Deposit Amount; and (xii) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests.




 


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


 


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


 


Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.


 


The Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may be amended from time to time by a writing signed by each of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Custodian (if the Trustee is then acting as Custodian), the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or, as applicable, any Companion Loan Holder:

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


 


This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 2015 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee, and Citibank, N.A., as Certificate Administrator. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


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


 


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


 




  





A-6-2











  






 


Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in March 2015 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class A-AB Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to a share of Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


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


 


All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provides the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.


 


Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


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


 


As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-Off Date (or with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of the substitution); (iii) any REO Property (but in the case of each Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related REO Property); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but in the case of each Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the revenues received in respect of such REO Property); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the 


 




  





A-6-3











  




 


Trustee’s rights in any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s rights under any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loans; (viii) all of the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s rights in the Escrow Accounts and Lock-Box Accounts and all proceeds of the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, each Distribution Account, the Exchangeable Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account, any REO Account and the Excess Interest Distribution Account, including reinvestment income thereon; (ix) the Trustee’s rights in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (x) the Depositor’s rights under the Loan Purchase Agreements, the RTI Guaranty and the RFT Guaranty to the extent assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (xi) the Interest Deposit Amount; and (xii) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests.




 


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


 


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


 


Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.


 


The Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may be amended from time to time by a writing signed by each of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Custodian (if the Trustee is then acting as Custodian), the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or, as applicable, any Companion Loan Holder:

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


 


This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 2015 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee, and Citibank, N.A., as Certificate Administrator. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


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


 


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


 








 


3 The approximate Pass-Through Rate as of the Closing Date is 1.454% per annum.


 




  





A-7-2











  






 


Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in March 2015 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class X-A Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


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


 


All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provides the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.


 


Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


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


 


As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-Off Date (or with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of the substitution); (iii) any REO Property (but in the case of each Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related REO Property); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but in the case of each Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the revenues received in respect of such REO Property); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the Trustee’s rights in any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s 


 




  





A-7-3











  






 


rights under any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loans; (viii) all of the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s rights in the Escrow Accounts and Lock-Box Accounts and all proceeds of the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, each Distribution Account, the Exchangeable Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account, any REO Account and the Excess Interest Distribution Account, including reinvestment income thereon; (ix) the Trustee’s rights in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (x) the Depositor’s rights under the Loan Purchase Agreements, the RTI Guaranty and the RFT Guaranty to the extent assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (xi) the Interest Deposit Amount; and (xii) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests.


 


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


 


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


 


Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

(vii)

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


 


This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 2015 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee, and Citibank, N.A., as Certificate Administrator. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


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


 


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


 









 


3 The approximate Pass-Through Rate as of the Closing Date is 0.293% per annum.


 




  





A-8-2











  






 


 


Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in March 2015 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class X-B Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


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


 


All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provides the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.


 


Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


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


 


As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-Off Date (or with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of the substitution); (iii) any REO Property (but in the case of each Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related REO Property); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but in the case of each Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the revenues received in respect of such REO Property); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the Trustee’s rights in any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s 


 




  





A-8-3











  






 


rights under any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loans; (viii) all of the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s rights in the Escrow Accounts and Lock-Box Accounts and all proceeds of the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, each Distribution Account, the Exchangeable Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account, any REO Account and the Excess Interest Distribution Account, including reinvestment income thereon; (ix) the Trustee’s rights in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (x) the Depositor’s rights under the Loan Purchase Agreements, the RTI Guaranty and the RFT Guaranty to the extent assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (xi) the Interest Deposit Amount; and (xii) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests.


 


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


 


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


 


Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 2015 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee, and Citibank, N.A., as Certificate Administrator. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


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


 


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


 


Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in March 2015 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class X-E Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


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


 


All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provides the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.


 


Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to 


 




  





A-9-4











  






 


surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


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


 


As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-Off Date (or with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of the substitution); (iii) any REO Property (but in the case of each Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related REO Property); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but in the case of each Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the revenues received in respect of such REO Property); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the Trustee’s rights in any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s rights under any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loans; (viii) all of the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s rights in the Escrow Accounts and Lock-Box Accounts and all proceeds of the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, each Distribution Account, the Exchangeable Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account, any REO Account and the Excess Interest Distribution Account, including reinvestment income thereon; (ix) the Trustee’s rights in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (x) the Depositor’s rights under the Loan Purchase Agreements, the RTI Guaranty and the RFT Guaranty to the extent assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (xi) the Interest Deposit Amount; and (xii) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests.


 


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


 


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


 


Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.


 


The Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may be amended from time to time by a writing signed by each of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Custodian (if the Trustee is then acting as Custodian), the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or, as applicable, any Companion Loan Holder:

Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee, and Citibank, N.A., as Certificate Administrator. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


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


 


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


 


Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in March 2015 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class X-F Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


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


 


All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provides the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.


 


Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

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


 


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

Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee, and Citibank, N.A., as Certificate Administrator. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


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


 


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


 


Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in March 2015 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class X-H Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


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


 


All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provides the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.


 


Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

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


 


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

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


 


This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 2015 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee, and Citibank, N.A., as Certificate Administrator. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 




  





A-12-2











  






 


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


 


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


 


Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in March 2015 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class A-S Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to a share of Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


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


 


All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provides the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.


 


Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


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


 




  





A-12-3











  






 


As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-Off Date (or with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of the substitution); (iii) any REO Property (but in the case of each Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related REO Property); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but in the case of each Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the revenues received in respect of such REO Property); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the Trustee’s rights in any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s rights under any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loans; (viii) all of the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s rights in the Escrow Accounts and Lock-Box Accounts and all proceeds of the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, each Distribution Account, the Exchangeable Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account, any REO Account and the Excess Interest Distribution Account, including reinvestment income thereon; (ix) the Trustee’s rights in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (x) the Depositor’s rights under the Loan Purchase Agreements, the RTI Guaranty and the RFT Guaranty to the extent assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (xi) the Interest Deposit Amount; and (xii) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests.

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


 


This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 2015 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee, and Citibank, N.A., as Certificate Administrator. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


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


 




  





A-13-2











  






 


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


 


Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in March 2015 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class B Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to a share of Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


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


 


All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provides the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.


 


Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


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


 


As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-Off Date (or with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of the substitution); (iii) any REO Property (but in the case of each Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related 


 




  





A-13-3











  






 


REO Property); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but in the case of each Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the revenues received in respect of such REO Property); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the Trustee’s rights in any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s rights under any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loans; (viii) all of the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s rights in the Escrow Accounts and Lock-Box Accounts and all proceeds of the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, each Distribution Account, the Exchangeable Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account, any REO Account and the Excess Interest Distribution Account, including reinvestment income thereon; (ix) the Trustee’s rights in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (x) the Depositor’s rights under the Loan Purchase Agreements, the RTI Guaranty and the RFT Guaranty to the extent assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (xi) the Interest Deposit Amount; and (xii) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests.


 


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


 


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


 


Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.


 


Subject to the conditions set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, this Certificate, together with certain other Exchangeable Certificates set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, may be exchanged for the Class PEZ Certificates, pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (including, without limitation, payment of the applicable exchange fee).

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


 


This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 2015 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as 


 




  





A-14-2











  






 


Operating Advisor, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee, and Citibank, N.A., as Certificate Administrator. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


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


 


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


 


Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in March 2015 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class PEZ Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to a share of Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


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


 


All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provides the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.


 


Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby.

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


 


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


 


Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in March 2015 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class C Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to a share of Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


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


 


All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provides the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.


 


Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


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

This certifies that [          ] is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect to the Class D Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below).

Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee, and Citibank, N.A., as Certificate Administrator. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


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


 


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


 


Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in March 2015 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class D Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to a share of Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


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


 


All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provides the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.


 


Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee, and Citibank, N.A., as Certificate Administrator. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


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


 


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


 


Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in March 2015 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class E Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


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


 


All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provides the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.


 


Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee, and Citibank, N.A., as Certificate Administrator. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


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


 


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


 


Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in March 2015 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class F Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


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


 


All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provides the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.


 


Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee, and Citibank, N.A., as Certificate Administrator. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.




 


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


 


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


 


Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in March 2015 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class G Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


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


 


All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provides the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.


 


Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee, and Citibank, N.A., as Certificate Administrator. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


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


 


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


 


Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in March 2015 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class H Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to a share of Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


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


 


All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provides the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.


 


Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This certifies that [           ] is the registered owner of an interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect to the Class R Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties and held in trust by the Trustee and, other than in the case of the Outside Serviced Trust Loans, serviced by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans (other than the Outside Serviced Trust Loans) are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-AB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-E, Class X-F, Class X-H, Class A-S, Class B, Class PEZ, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H and Class S Certificates (together with the Class R Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).


 


This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 2015 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee, and Citibank, N.A., as Certificate Administrator. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


This Certificate represents the “residual interest” in two “real estate mortgage investment conduits,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(2) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.


 


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


 


Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in March 2015 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the 


 




  





A-21-3











  






 


Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of the aggregate amount, if any, with respect to the Class R Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provides the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.


 


Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


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


 


As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-Off Date (or with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of the substitution); (iii) any REO Property (but in the case of each Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related REO Property); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but in the case of each Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the revenues received in respect of such REO Property); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the Trustee’s rights in any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s rights under any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loans; (viii) all of the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s rights in the Escrow Accounts and Lock-Box Accounts and all proceeds of the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, each Distribution Account, the Exchangeable Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account, any REO Account and the Excess Interest Distribution Account, including reinvestment income thereon; (ix) the Trustee’s rights in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (x) the Depositor’s rights under the Loan Purchase Agreements, the RTI Guaranty and the RFT Guaranty to the extent assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (xi) the Interest Deposit Amount; and (xii) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests.

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


 


Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in March 2015 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of the aggregate amount then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class S Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provides the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.


 


Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


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


 


As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans (excluding the CCRE Strip) due after the Cut-Off Date (or with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of the substitution); (iii) any REO Property (but in the case of each Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related REO Property); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but in 


 




  





A-22-2











  






 


the case of each Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the revenues received in respect of such REO Property); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the Trustee’s rights in any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s rights under any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loans; (viii) all of the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s rights in the Escrow Accounts and Lock-Box Accounts and all proceeds of the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, each Distribution Account, the Exchangeable Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account, any REO Account and the Excess Interest Distribution Account, including reinvestment income thereon; (ix) the Trustee’s rights in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (x) the Depositor’s rights under the Loan Purchase Agreements, the RTI Guaranty and the RFT Guaranty to the extent assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (xi) the Interest Deposit Amount; and (xii) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests.

Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


I, [______], under penalties of perjury, declare that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, the following representations are true, correct and complete, and being first sworn, depose and say that:


 


1.           I am a [______] of [______] (the “Purchaser”), on behalf of which I have the authority to make this affidavit.


 


2.           The Purchaser is acquiring Class R Certificates representing [__]% of the residual interest in each of the real estate mortgage investment conduits (each, a “REMIC”) designated as the “Lower-Tier REMIC” and “Upper-Tier REMIC,” respectively, relating to the Certificates for which an election is to be or has been made under Section 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”).


 


3.           The Purchaser is not a “Disqualified Organization” (as defined below), and that the Purchaser is not acquiring the Class R Certificates for the account of, or as agent or nominee of, or with a view to the transfer of direct or indirect record or beneficial ownership 


 




  





L-1-1











  






 


thereof, to a Disqualified Organization. For the purposes hereof, a Disqualified Organization is any of the following: (i) the United States, a State or any political subdivision of a State, any possession of the United States or any agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing (other than an instrumentality that is a corporation if all of its activities are subject to tax and, except for the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, a majority of its board of directors is not selected by any such governmental unit), (ii) a foreign government, International Organization or agency or instrumentality of either of the foregoing, (iii) an organization that is exempt from tax imposed by Chapter 1 of the Code (including the tax imposed by Code Section 511 on unrelated business taxable income) on any excess inclusions (as defined in Code Section 860E(c)(1)) with respect to the Class R Certificates (except certain farmers’ cooperatives described in Code Section 521), (iv) rural electric and telephone cooperatives described in Code Section 1381(a)(2) or (v) any other Person so designated by the Certificate Registrar based upon an opinion of counsel to the effect that any transfer to such Person may cause either Trust REMIC to be subject to tax or to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates are outstanding. The terms “United States”, “State” and “international organization” shall have the meanings set forth in Section 7701 of the Code.


 


4.           The Purchaser acknowledges that Section 860E(e) of the Code would impose a substantial tax on the transferor or, in certain circumstances, on an agent for the transferee, with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Class R Certificates to a Disqualified Organization.


 


5.           The Purchaser is a Permitted Transferee. For the purpose hereof, a “Permitted Transferee” is any Person or agent of such Person other than (a) a Disqualified Organization, (b) any other Person so designated by the Certificate Registrar who is unable to provide an Opinion of Counsel (provided at the expense of such Person or the Person requesting the transfer) to the effect that the transfer of an ownership interest in any Class R Certificate to such Person will not cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates are outstanding, (c) a Disqualified Non-U.S. Tax Person, (d) an entity treated as a U.S. partnership if any of its partners, directly or indirectly (other than through a U.S. corporation) is (or is permitted to be under the partnership agreement) a Disqualified Non-U.S. Tax Person or (e) a U.S. Tax Person with respect to which income from a Class R Certificate is attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty, of the transferee or any other U.S. Tax Person.


 


6.           No purpose of the acquisition of the Class R Certificates is to impede the assessment or collection of tax.


 


7.           The Purchaser will not cause income from the Class R Certificate to be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty, of the Purchaser or any other U.S. Tax Person.


 


8.           Check the applicable paragraph:


 


o          The present value of the anticipated tax liabilities associated with holding the Class R Certificate, as applicable, does not exceed the sum of:


 




  





L-1-2











  






 


(i)          the present value of any consideration given to the Purchaser to acquire such Class R Certificate;


 


(ii)         the present value of the expected future distributions on such Class R Certificate; and


 


(iii)        the present value of the anticipated tax savings associated with holding such Class R Certificate as the related REMIC generates losses.


 


For purposes of this calculation, (i) the Purchaser is assumed to pay tax at the highest rate currently specified in Section 11(b) of the Code (but the tax rate in Section 55(b)(1)(B) of the Code may be used in lieu of the highest rate specified in Section 11(b) of the Code if the Purchaser has been subject to the alternative minimum tax under Section 55 of the Code in the preceding two years and will compute its taxable income in the current taxable year using the alternative minimum tax rate) and (ii) present values are computed using a discount rate equal to the short-term Federal rate prescribed by Section 1274(d) of the Code for the month of the transfer and the compounding period used by the Purchaser.


 


o          The transfer of the Class R Certificate complies with U.S. Treasury Regulations Sections 1.860E-1(c)(5) and (6) and, accordingly,


 


(i)          the Purchaser is an “eligible corporation”, as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), as to which income from the Class R Certificate will only be taxed in the United States;


 


(ii)         at the time of the transfer, and at the close of the Purchaser’s two fiscal years preceding the year of the transfer, the Purchaser had gross assets for financial reporting purposes (excluding any obligation of a Person related to the Purchaser within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(ii)) in excess of $100 million and net assets in excess of $10 million;


 


(iii)        the Purchaser will transfer the Class R Certificate only to another “eligible corporation,” as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), in a transaction that satisfies the requirements of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i), (ii) and (iii) and Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(5); and


 


(iv)        the Purchaser determined the consideration paid to it to acquire the Class R Certificate based on reasonable market assumptions (including, but not limited to, borrowing and investment rates, prepayment and loss assumptions, expense and reinvestment assumptions, tax rates and other factors specific to the Purchaser) that it has determined in good faith.


 


o           None of the above.


 


9.           The Purchaser historically has paid its debts as they have come due and intends to pay its debts as they come due in the future and the Purchaser intends to pay taxes associated with holding the Class R Certificates as they become due.


 




  





L-1-3











  






 


10.         The Purchaser understands that it may incur tax liabilities with respect to the Class R Certificate in excess of any cash flows generated by such Certificate.


 


11.         The Purchaser is aware that the Certificate Registrar will not register any transfer of a Class R Certificate by the Transferor unless the Purchaser, or such Purchaser’s agent, delivers to the Certificate Registrar, among other things, an affidavit and agreement in substantially the same form as this affidavit and agreement. The Purchaser expressly agrees that it will not consummate any such transfer to any Person that does not provide an affidavit and agreement in substantially the same form as this affidavit and agreement or as to which the Purchaser has actual knowledge that such Person is not a Permitted Transferee or is acting as an agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) for a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee.


 


12.         The Purchaser represents that it is not acquiring the Class R Certificate as a nominee, trustee or agent for any Person that is not a Permitted Transferee and that for so long as it retains its interest in the Class R Certificate, it will endeavor to remain a Permitted Transferee.


 


13.         The Purchaser consents to any additional restrictions or arrangements that shall be deemed necessary upon advice of counsel to constitute a reasonable arrangement to ensure that the Class R Certificate will only be owned, directly or indirectly, by a Permitted Transferee.


 


14.         The Purchaser has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, a description of which provisions is set forth in the Class R Certificates; and the Purchaser expressly agrees to be bound by and to comply with such provisions.


 


15.         The Purchaser consents to the designation of the Certificate Administrator as the agent of the tax matters person of the Lower-Tier REMIC and Upper-Tier REMIC pursuant to Section 4.04 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This letter is delivered to you in connection with the transfer by [______] (the “Transferor”) to [______] (the “Transferee”) of Class R Certificates evidencing a [__]% Percentage Interest in such Class (the “Residual Certificates”). The Certificates, including the Residual Certificates, were issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 2015 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee, and Citibank, N.A., as Certificate Administrator. All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Transferor hereby certifies, represents and warrants to you, as Certificate Registrar, that:


 


(1)           No purpose of the Transferor relating to the transfer of the Residual Certificates by the Transferor to the Transferee is or will be to impede the assessment or collection of any tax.


 


(2)           The Transferor understands that the Transferee has delivered to you a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement in the form attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as Exhibit L-1. The Transferor has no actual knowledge that the Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee (as defined in such Transfer Affidavit and Agreement) and has no actual knowledge or reason to know that the Transferee’s representations in clause (9) of such Transfer Affidavit and Agreement are false.


 


(3)           The Transferor has at the time of this transfer conducted a reasonable investigation of the financial condition of the Transferee as contemplated by Treasury regulation Section 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i) and, as a result of that investigation, the Transferor has determined that the Transferee has historically paid its debts as they became due and has found no significant evidence to indicate that the Transferee will not continue to pay its debts as they become due in the future. The Transferor understands that the transfer of the Residual Certificates may not be

L-4-1











  






 


in the related Class], in certificated fully registered form (such registered interest, the “Transferred Certificate”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


In connection with such transfer, the undersigned hereby represents and warrants to you as follows:


 


1.           The Purchaser is an “institutional accredited investor” (an “Institutional Accredited Investor”), (i.e. an entity meeting, or in which all of the equity owners meet, the requirements of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)) and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Transferred Certificate, and the Purchaser and any accounts for which the Purchaser is acting are each able to bear the economic risk of our or its investment. The Purchaser is acquiring the Transferred Certificate for its own account or for one or more accounts (each of which is an Institutional Accredited Investor) as to each of which the Purchaser exercises sole investment discretion. [FOR TRANSFERS OF CLASS R CERTIFICATES: Furthermore, the Purchaser and any such account are each a “qualified institutional buyer” (within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act).]The Purchaser hereby undertakes to reimburse the Trust for any costs incurred by it in connection with this transfer.


 


2.           The Purchaser’s intention is to acquire the Transferred Certificate (a) for investment for the Purchaser’s own account or (b) for resale to (i) “qualified institutional buyers” in transactions complying with Rule 144A[,FOR TRANSFERS OF ANY CERTIFICATES OTHER THAN CLASS R: or (ii) Institutional Accredited Investors under the Securities Act, pursuant to any other exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, subject in the case of this clause (ii) to (a) the receipt by the Certificate Registrar of a letter substantially in the form hereof, (b) the receipt by the Certificate Registrar of an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Certificate Registrar that such reoffer, resale, pledge or transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act, (c) the receipt by the Certificate Registrar of such other evidence acceptable to the Certificate Registrar that such reoffer, resale, pledge or transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act and other applicable laws (including applicable state and foreign securities laws), and (d) a written undertaking to reimburse the Trust for any costs incurred by it in connection with the proposed transfer.] It understands that the Transferred Certificate (and any subsequent Non-Book Entry Certificate) has not been registered under the Securities Act, by reason of a specified exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the Purchaser’s investment intent (or intent to resell to only certain investors in certain exempted transactions) as expressed herein.


 


3.           The Purchaser acknowledges that the Transferred Certificate (and any Certificate issued on transfer or exchange thereof) has not been registered or qualified under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any State or any other jurisdiction, and that the Transferred Certificate cannot be reoffered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred unless it is registered or qualified thereunder or unless an exemption from such registration or qualification is available.


 




  





L-4-2











  






 


4.           The Purchaser has reviewed the applicable Offering Circular dated January 28, 2015, relating to the Private Certificates (the “Offering Circular”) and the agreements and other materials referred to therein and has had the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Offering Circular.


 


5.           The Purchaser hereby undertakes to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in its capacity as an owner of a Non-Book Entry Certificate or Certificates, as the case may be (each, a “Certificateholder”), in all respects as if it were a signatory thereto. This undertaking is made for the benefit of the Trust, the Certificate Registrar and all Certificateholders present and future.


 


6.           The Purchaser will not sell or otherwise transfer any portion of the Transferred Certificate, except in compliance with Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


7.           Check one of the following:


 


o            The Purchaser is a “U.S. Tax Person” and it has attached hereto an Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-9 (or successor form).


 


o            The Purchaser is not a “U.S. Tax Person” and under applicable law in effect on the date hereof, no taxes will be required to be withheld by the Certificate Administrator (or its agent) with respect to Distributions to be made on the Transferred Certificate(s). The Purchaser has attached hereto (i) a duly executed IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8 BEN-E, as applicable (or successor form), which identifies such Purchaser as the beneficial owner of the Transferred Certificate(s) and states that such Purchaser is not a U.S. Person, (ii) two duly executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (and all appropriate attachment) or (iii) two duly executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI (or successor form), which identify such Purchaser as the beneficial owner of the Transferred Certificate(s) and state that interest and original issue discount on the Transferred Certificate(s) is, or is expected to be, effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business. The Purchaser agrees to provide to the Certificate Administrator an updated IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8 BEN-E, IRS Form W-8IMY or IRS Form W-8ECI, as the case may be, any applicable successor IRS forms, or such other certifications as the Certificate Administrator may reasonably request, on or before the date that any such IRS form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, or promptly after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent IRS form of certification furnished by it to the Certificate Administrator.


 


For the purposes of this paragraph 7, “U.S. Tax Person” means a citizen or resident of the United States, a corporation, partnership (except to the extent provided in applicable Treasury Regulations), or other entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, including any entity treated as a corporation or partnership for federal income tax purposes, an estate whose income is subject to United States federal income tax regardless of its source, or a trust if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of such trust, and one or more such U.S. Tax Persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of such trust (or, to the extent provided in applicable Treasury Regulations, certain trusts in existence on August 20, 1996 that have elected to be treated as U.S. Tax Persons).

3.             The Transferee understands that it may not sell or otherwise transfer the Excess Servicing Fee Right or any interest therein except in compliance with the provisions of Section 3.12 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, which provisions it has carefully reviewed.


 


4.             Neither the Transferee nor anyone acting on its behalf has (a) offered, pledged, sold, disposed of or otherwise transferred the Excess Servicing Fee Right, any interest in the Excess Servicing Fee Right or any other similar security to any Person in any manner, (b) solicited any offer to buy or accept a pledge, disposition or other transfer of the Excess Servicing Fee Right, any interest in the Excess Servicing Fee Right or any other similar security from any Person in any manner, (c) otherwise approached or negotiated with respect to the Excess Servicing Fee Right, any interest in the Excess Servicing Fee Right or any other similar security with any Person in any manner, (d) made any general solicitation with respect to the Excess Servicing Fee Right, any interest in the Excess Servicing Fee Right or any other similar security by means of general advertising or in any other manner, or (e) taken any other action with respect to the Excess Servicing Fee Right, any interest in the Excess Servicing Fee Right or any other similar security, which (in the case of any of the acts described in clauses (a) through (e) above) would constitute a distribution of the Excess Servicing Fee Right under the Securities Act, would render the disposition of the Excess Servicing Fee Right a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act or any state securities law or would require registration or qualification of the Excess Servicing Fee Right pursuant thereto. The Transferee will not act, nor has it authorized or will it authorize any Person to act, in any manner set forth in the foregoing sentence with respect to the Excess Servicing Fee Right, any interest in the Excess Servicing Fee Right or any other similar security.

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


THE STATEMENTS SET FORTH BELOW ARE MADE (A) TO THE BEST KNOWLEDGE OF THE UNDERSIGNED BASED UPON DUE DILIGENCE CONSISTENT WITH THE SERVICING STANDARD SPECIFIED IN THE POOLING 


 




  





DD-1











  






 


AND SERVICING AGREEMENT (THE “SERVICING STANDARD”), AND (B) WITHOUT INTENDING TO WARRANT THE ACCURACY THEREOF OR UNDERTAKE ANY DUTY OR STANDARD OF CARE GREATER THAN THE DUTIES OF SERVICER UNDER THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT AND THE SERVICING STANDARD.


 


We hereby notify you and confirm that each of the following is true, subject to those exceptions, if any, set forth on Exhibit A hereto, which exceptions the Master Servicer has determined, consistent with the Servicing Standard, will have no material adverse effect on the Subject Mortgage Loan or the defeasance transaction:


 


1.             The Mortgagor has consummated a defeasance of the Subject Mortgage Loan of the type checked below:**


 



	
  

	
____ a full defeasance of the entire outstanding principal balance ($____________) of the Subject Mortgage Loan; or







 



	
  

	
____ a partial defeasance of a portion ($____________) of the Subject Mortgage Loan that represents ___% of the entire principal balance of the Subject Mortgage Loan ($____________).







 


2.             The defeasance was consummated on ____________, 20__.


 


3.             The defeasance was completed in all material respects in accordance with the conditions for defeasance specified in the Loan Documents and in accordance with the Servicing Standard.


 


[Include the following if there is pari passu or AB debt:


 


4.             In accordance with the Loan Documents, the defeasance occurred such that:


 



	
  

	
____ Promissory Notes [A-1][A] and [A-2][B] were defeased simultaneously in their entirety; or







 



	
  

	
____ Promissory Note [A-2][B] was paid off in full.]







 


5.             To the knowledge of the Master Servicer any other debt related to the Subject Mortgage Loan (including mezzanine debt, senior secured debt, pari passu debt or subordinate secured debt was either paid off in full or defeased. Such debt consists of the following: [Describe debt and holder of the debt and if it was paid off or defeased].


 


6.             The defeasance collateral consists only of one or more of the following: (i) direct debt obligations of the U.S. Treasury, (ii) direct debt obligations of the Federal National Mortgage Association, (iii) direct debt obligations of the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, (iv) interest-only direct debt obligations of the Resolution Funding Corporation, (v) consolidated debt obligations of the Federal Home Loan Bank or (vi) securities covered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s (the “FDIC”) Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program 


 




  





DD-2











  






 


(“TLGP”). Based upon a written report from an independent certified accountant, such defeasance collateral consists of securities that (i) if they include a principal obligation, the principal due at maturity cannot vary or change, (ii) provide for interest at a fixed rate and (iii) are not callable prior to their respective maturity dates. In addition, if the defeasance collateral contains any TLGP securities, then:


 



	
  

	
●

	
Such securities are eligible under TLGP;







 



	
  

	
●

	
The master servicer (and the trustee, if it serves as the back-up advancing agent for the transaction) has waived its right to (i) collect interest on advances made on behalf of the borrower holding TLGP securities, and (ii) collect for expenses incurred in making demand on the FDIC;







 



	
  

	
●

	
If the TLGP debt is to be used to satisfy a balloon payment, a reserve conforming to the criteria for eligible accounts was funded with a minimum of 90 days interest on the defeasance collateral to cover potential delays in receipt of the balloon payment;







 



	
  

	
●

	
The TLGP securities mature before June 30, 2012; and







 



	
  

	
●

	
The master servicer’s error and omissions insurance policy covers losses to the CMBS trust caused by the servicer’s failure to make timely demand on the FDIC’s guarantee.







 


7.           After the defeasance, the defeasance collateral will be owned by an entity (the “Defeasance Obligor”) that: (i) is the original Mortgagor, (ii) is a Single-Purpose Entity (as described in S&P’s criteria), (iii) is subject to restrictions in its organizational documents substantially similar to those contained in the organizational documents of the original Mortgagor with respect to bankruptcy remoteness and single purpose, (iv) has been designated as the Defeasance Obligor by the originator of the Subject Mortgage Loan pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, or (v) has previously received confirmation from Standard & Poor’s that the organizational documents of such Defeasance Obligor conform with applicable Standard & Poor’s criteria. The Defeasance Obligor owns no assets other than defeasance collateral and (only in the case of the original Mortgagor) real property securing one or more Mortgage Loans included in the pool under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the “Pool”).


 


8.           If such Defeasance Obligor (together with its affiliates) holds more than one defeased loan, it does not (together with its affiliates) hold defeased loans aggregating more than $35 Million or more than five percent (5%) of the aggregate certificate balance of the Certificates, as of the date of the most recent Certificate Administrator’s Distribution Date Statement received by Master Servicer (the “Current Report”), except to the extent the Defeasance Obligor is of the type specified in paragraph 7(v) above or the original Loan Documents do not limit the amount of defeased loans that it may hold.


 


9.           The defeasance documents require that the defeasance collateral be credited to an eligible account (as defined in S&P’s criteria) that must be maintained as a securities account by a securities intermediary that is at all times an Eligible Institution (as 


 




  





DD-3











  






 


defined in S&P’s criteria). The securities intermediary may reinvest proceeds of the defeasance collateral only in Permitted Investments (as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or as defined in the documents evidencing defeasance).


 


10.           The securities intermediary is obligated to pay from the proceeds of the defeasance collateral, directly to the Master Servicer’s collection account, all scheduled payments on the Subject Mortgage Loan or, in a partial defeasance, the portion of such scheduled payments attributed to the allocated loan amount for the real property defeased including any defeasance premiums set forth in the loan documents (the “Scheduled Payments”).


 


11.           The Master Servicer received written confirmation from an independent certified public accountant stating that (i) revenues from the defeasance collateral (without taking into account any earnings on reinvestment of such revenues) will be sufficient to timely pay each of the Monthly Payments including the payment in full of the Subject Mortgage Loan (or the allocated portion thereof in connection with a partial defeasance) on its Maturity Date (or, in the case of an ARD Loan, on its Anticipated Repayment Date), (ii) except as otherwise disclosed in the written report from an independent certified public accountant, [and disclosed below,] the revenues received in any month from the defeasance collateral will be applied to make Monthly Payments within four (4) months after the date of receipt, (iii) the defeasance collateral is not callable prior to their respective maturity dates, and (iv) interest income from the defeasance collateral to the Defeasance Obligor in any tax year will not exceed such Defeasance Obligor’s interest expense for the Subject Mortgage Loan (or the allocated portion thereof in a partial defeasance) for such year, other than in the year in which the Maturity Date or Anticipated Repayment Date will occur, when interest income will exceed interest expense.


 


12.           The Master Servicer received opinions of counsel that, subject to customary qualifications, (i) the defeasance will not cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC for purpose of the Code, (ii) the agreements executed by the Mortgagor and the Defeasance Obligor in connection with the defeasance are enforceable against them in accordance with their terms, [and] (iii) the Trustee will have a perfected, first priority security interest in the defeasance collateral.


 


13.           The agreements executed in connection with the defeasance (i) prohibit subordinate liens against the defeasance collateral, (ii) provide for payment from sources other than the defeasance collateral of all fees and expenses of the securities intermediary for administering the defeasance and the securities account and all fees and expenses of maintaining the existence of the Defeasance Obligor, (iii) permit release of surplus defeasance collateral and earnings on reinvestment to the Defeasance Obligor only after the Subject Mortgage Loan has been paid in full, (iv) include representations and/or covenants of the Mortgagor and/or securities intermediary substantially as set forth on Exhibit B hereto, (v) provide for survival of such representations; and (vi) do not permit waiver of such representations and covenants.


 


14.           At the time of the defeasance of the Subject Mortgage Loan, the Subject Mortgage Loan is (x) not one of the ten largest Mortgage Loans by Stated Principal Balance, (y) a Mortgage Loan with a Stated Principal Balance equal to or less than $35,000,000 and (z) a Mortgage Loan that represents less than 5% of the Stated Principal Balance of all Mortgage Loans.
