This Pooling and Servicing Agreement is dated and effective as of [________], 20[__], among Banc of America Merrill Lynch Commercial Mortgage Inc., as Depositor, [MASTER SERVICER], as Master Servicer, [SPECIAL SERVICER], as Special Servicer, [CERTIFICATE ADMINISTRATOR], as Certificate Administrator, [TRUSTEE], as Trustee, [OPERATING ADVISOR], as Operating Advisor, and [ASSET REPRESENTATIONS REVIEWER], as Asset Representations Reviewer.


 


PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:


 


The Depositor intends to sell commercial mortgage pass-through certificates (collectively, the “Certificates”), to be issued hereunder in multiple classes (each, a “Class”), which in the aggregate will evidence the entire ownership interest in the Trust to be created hereunder, the primary assets of which will be a pool of commercial mortgage loans and a separate trust companion loan interest in one commercial mortgage loan.  As provided herein, the Certificate Administrator shall elect or shall cause an election to be made to treat designated portions of the Trust (exclusive of the Excess Interest, the proceeds thereof in the Excess Interest Distribution Account, any Exchangeable Certificates that have been exchanged for the Class [EC] Certificates and the proceeds thereof in the Class [EC] Distribution Account) for federal income tax purposes as three separate real estate mortgage investment conduits (the “Upper-Tier REMIC”, the “Lower-Tier REMIC” and the “[LOAN-SPECIFIC] Trust Subordinate Companion Loan REMIC”, and each a “Trust REMIC” as described herein).


 


In addition, the parties intend that the portions of the Trust Fund consisting of (i) the Class [A-S] Specific Grantor Trust Assets, the Class [B] Specific Grantor Trust Assets, and the Class [C] Specific Grantor Trust Assets, and (ii) Class [ARD] Specific Grantor Trust Assets, shall be treated as a grantor trust under subpart E, part I of subchapter J of the Code for federal income tax purposes (the “Grantor Trust”).  Solely for tax purposes, the Class [A-S] Certificates shall represent undivided beneficial interests in the portion of the Grantor Trust consisting of the Class [A-S] Specific Grantor Trust Assets.  The Class [B] Certificates shall represent undivided beneficial interests in the portion of the Grantor Trust consisting of the Class [B] Specific Grantor Trust Assets. The Class [C] Certificates shall represent undivided beneficial interests in the portion of the Grantor Trust consisting of the Class [C] Specific Grantor Trust Assets.  The Class [EC] Certificates do not represent an interest in an entity other than the Trust and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Grantor Trust is not a separate legal entity.  The Class [ARD] Certificates shall represent undivided beneficial interests in the portion of the Grantor Trust consisting of the Class [ARD] Specific Grantor Trust Assets.  As provided herein, the Certificate Administrator shall take all actions expressly required hereunder to ensure that the portion of the Trust Fund consisting of the Grantor Trust maintains its status as a grantor trust under federal income tax law and not be treated as part of the Trust REMICs.


 


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

[LOAN-SPECIFIC] TRUST SUBORDINATE COMPANION LOAN REMIC


 


The [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Trust Subordinate Companion Loan REMIC will hold the [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and the proceeds of such Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, together with its allocable share of any related property acquired by foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure and will issue the Class [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Certificates as the “regular interests” in the [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Trust Subordinate Companion Loan REMIC and an uncertificated [LOAN-SPECIFIC]-R Interest represented by the Class [R] Certificates, as the sole class of residual interests in the [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Trust Subordinate Companion Loan REMIC. Any [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Available Funds remaining in the [LOAN-SPECIFIC] REMIC Distribution Account after all required distributions under this Agreement have been made to the Class [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Certificates will be deemed distributed to the [LOAN-SPECIFIC]-R Interest and shall be payable to the Holders of the Class [R] Certificates.


 


LOWER-TIER REMIC


 


The Lower-Tier REMIC will hold the Mortgage Loans (exclusive of Excess Interest) and will issue the Class [UNCERTIFICATED INTERESTS] Uncertificated Interests (the “Lower-Tier Regular Interests”), which will evidence the “regular interests” in the Lower-Tier REMIC created hereunder.  The Lower-Tier REMIC will also issue the uncertificated Class LR Interest, which is the sole Class of “residual interest” in the Lower-Tier REMIC and is represented by the Class [R] Certificates.


 


The following table sets forth the Original Lower-Tier Principal Amounts and per annum rates of interest for the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and the Class LR Interest:

Whole Loan, if any Non-Serviced Master Servicer or Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as applicable, in connection with a securitization of the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan determines that a P&I Advance with respect to the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, such determination shall not be binding on the Master Servicer and the Trustee as it relates to any proposed P&I Advance with respect to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan.

In making such recoverability determination, the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Trustee, as applicable, will be entitled (a) to consider (among other things) (i) the obligations of the Mortgagor under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan as it may have been modified and (ii) the related Mortgaged Properties in their “as-is” or then-current conditions and occupancies, as modified by such party’s assumptions (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee, solely in its capacity as Trustee) regarding the possibility and effects of future adverse change with respect to such Mortgaged Properties, (b) to estimate and consider (among other things) future expenses, (c) to estimate and consider (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee, solely in its capacity as Trustee) (among other things) the timing of recoveries and (d) to give due regard to the existence of any Nonrecoverable Advances which, at the time of such consideration, the recovery of which are being deferred or delayed by the Master Servicer, in light of the fact that related proceeds are a source of recovery not only for the Advance under consideration but also a potential source of recovery for such delayed or deferred Advance.  In addition, any Person, in considering whether a P&I Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, will be entitled to give due regard to the existence of any outstanding Nonrecoverable Advance or Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount with respect to other Mortgage Loans which, at the time of such consideration, the reimbursement of which is being deferred or delayed by the Master Servicer or the Trustee because there is insufficient principal available for such reimbursement, in light of the fact that proceeds on the related Mortgage Loan are a source of reimbursement not only for the P&I Advance under consideration, but also as a potential source of reimbursement of such Nonrecoverable Advance or Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts which are or may be being deferred or delayed.  In addition, any such Person may update or change its recoverability determinations at any time (but not reverse any other Person’s determination that an Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance) and, consistent with the Servicing Standard, in the case of the Master Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee (solely in its capacity as Trustee), may obtain at the expense of the Trust any reasonably required analysis, Appraisals or market value estimates or other information for making a recoverability determination.  Absent bad faith, the Master Servicer’s, Special Servicer’s or the Trustee’s determination as to the recoverability of any P&I Advance shall be conclusive and binding on the Certificateholders.

-67-










 


Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, or any updated or changed recoverability determination, shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered by either the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer to the other and to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Certificateholder (but only prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event) (and, in the case of a Serviced Mortgage Loan, any Other Servicer), the Operating Advisor, the Depositor, or by the Trustee to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor (and, in the case of a Serviced Mortgage Loan, any Other Servicer) and the Certificate Administrator.  The Officer’s Certificate shall set forth such determination of nonrecoverability and the considerations of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, forming the basis of such determination (which shall be accompanied by, to the extent available, income and expense statements, rent rolls, occupancy status, property inspections and any other information used by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, to make such determination and shall include any existing Appraisal of the related Mortgage Loan, or the related Mortgaged Property).  The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s determination that a P&I Advance is or would be nonrecoverable, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the Special Servicer’s determination that a P&I Advance is or would be nonrecoverable.  In the case of a cross-collateralized Mortgage Loan (if any), such recoverability determination shall take into account the cross-collateralization of the related cross-collateralized Mortgage Loan.

In making such recoverability determination, such Person will be entitled (a) to consider (among other things) (i) the obligations of the Mortgagor under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan, as applicable, as it may have been modified and (ii) the related Mortgaged Properties in their “as-is” or then current conditions and occupancies, as modified by such party’s assumptions (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee, solely in its capacity as Trustee) regarding the possibility and effects of future adverse change with respect to such Mortgaged Properties, (b) to estimate and consider (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee, solely in its capacity as Trustee) (among other things) future expenses and (c) to estimate and consider (among other things) the timing of recoveries.  In addition, any Person, in considering whether a Servicing Advance is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, will be entitled to give due regard to the existence of any Nonrecoverable Advance or Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts with respect to other Mortgage Loans that, at the time of such consideration, the reimbursement of which is being deferred or delayed by the Master Servicer, in light of the fact that proceeds on the related Mortgage Loan are a source of recovery not only for the Servicing Advance under consideration, but also as a potential source of recovery of such Nonrecoverable Advance or Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts which are or may be being deferred or delayed.  In addition, any such Person may update or change its recoverability

determinations at any time (but not reverse any other Person’s determination that an Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance) and, consistent with the Servicing Standard, in the case of the Master Servicer, may obtain at the expense of the Trust any reasonably required analysis, Appraisals or market value estimates or other information for making a recoverability determination.  The determination by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, that it has made a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance or that any proposed Servicing Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, or any updated or changed recoverability determination, shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered by either of the Special Servicer or Master Servicer to the other and to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Certificateholder (but only prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event) (and in the case of a Serviced Mortgage Loan, any Other Servicer), the Operating Advisor (but only in the case of the Special Servicer) and the Depositor, or by the Trustee to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Certificate Administrator (and in the case of a Serviced Mortgage Loan, any Other Servicer); provided, however, that the Special Servicer may, at its option and, prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, in consultation with the Directing Certificateholder, make a determination in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that any Servicing Advance previously made or proposed to be made is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance and shall deliver to the Master Servicer (and with respect to a Serviced Mortgage Loan, to any Other Servicer), the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the 17g-5 Information Provider notice of such determination. Any such determination may be conclusively relied upon by, but shall not be binding upon, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, provided, however, that the Special Servicer shall have no such obligation to make an affirmative determination that any Servicing Advance is or would be recoverable and in the absence of a determination by the Special Servicer that such Servicing Advance is or would be a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, such decision shall remain with the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable.  If the Special Servicer makes a determination that only a portion, and not all, of any previously made or proposed Servicing Advance is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall each have the right to make its own subsequent determination that any remaining portion of any such previously made or proposed Servicing Advance is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance.  The Officer’s Certificate shall set forth such determination of nonrecoverability and the considerations of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, forming the basis of such determination (which shall be accompanied by, to the extent available, related income and expense statements, rent rolls, occupancy status and property inspections, and shall include any existing Appraisal with respect to the related Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, as applicable, or related Mortgaged Property).  The Special Servicer shall promptly furnish any party required to make Servicing Advances hereunder with any information in its possession regarding the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Properties as such party required to make Servicing Advances may reasonably request for purposes of making recoverability determinations.  The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s, as the case may be, determination that a Servicing Advance is or would be nonrecoverable, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the Special Servicer’s determination that a Servicing Advance is or would be nonrecoverable.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Special Servicer requests that the Master Servicer make a Servicing Advance, the Master Servicer may conclusively rely on such request

as evidence that such advance is not a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance; provided, however, the Special Servicer shall not be entitled to make such a request more frequently than once per calendar month with respect to Servicing Advances other than emergency advances (although such request may relate to more than one Servicing Advance). In the case of a cross-collateralized Mortgage Loan (if any), such recoverability determination shall take into account the cross-collateralization of the related cross-collateralized Mortgage Loan.  The determination as to the recoverability of any servicing advance previously made or proposed to be made in respect of a Non-Serviced Whole Loan shall be made by the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer, Non-Serviced Special Servicer or Non-Serviced Trustee, as the case may be, pursuant to the Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement.

-113-










 


filing, as applicable, any one of the assignments in favor of the Trustee referred to in [clause (iv), clause (vi) (to the extent not already assigned pursuant to clause (iv)) or clause (ix)] of the definition of “Mortgage File”, such Mortgage Loan Seller may provisionally satisfy the delivery requirements of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Section 2.01(b) with respect to such assignment by delivering to the Custodian with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan on the Closing Date a copy of such assignment in the form sent for recording or filing or (except for recording or filing information not yet available) to be sent for recording or filing; provided that an original or copy of such assignment (with evidence of recording or filing, as applicable, indicated thereon) shall be delivered to the Custodian as contemplated by Section 2.01(c) of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to letters of credit referred to in [clause (xii)] of the definition of “Mortgage File” and relating to a Serviced Mortgage Loan, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver the original to the Master Servicer (which letter of credit shall be titled in the name of, or assigned to, “[__________]”), and a copy to the Custodian or, if such original has been submitted by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller to the issuing bank to effect a reissuance, assignment or amendment of such letter of credit (changing the beneficiary thereof to the Master Servicer (in care of the Trustee, as titled above) that may be required in order for the Master Servicer to draw on such letter of credit on behalf of the Trust in accordance with the applicable terms thereof and/or of the related Mortgage Loan documents or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan documents, as applicable) and the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall be deemed to have satisfied the delivery requirements of the related Mortgage 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 issuing bank for reissuance 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), one of which shall be delivered to the Custodian on the Closing Date.  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 Trust in accordance with the applicable terms thereof and/or of the related Mortgage Loan documents or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan documents, as applicable, 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 Custodian within thirty (30) days of the Closing Date.  If not otherwise paid by the related Mortgagor, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall pay any costs of assignment or amendment of such letter(s) of credit required in order for the Master Servicer to draw on such letter(s) of credit on behalf of the Trust and shall cooperate with the reasonable requests of the Master Servicer in connection with effectuating a draw under any such letter of credit prior to the date such letter of credit is assigned or amended in order that it may be drawn by the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trust.


 


(c)            Pursuant to each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, except in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage Loan Seller is required at its sole cost and expense, to itself, or to engage a third party to, put each Assignment of Mortgage, each assignment of Assignment of Leases and each assignment of each UCC Financing Statement (collectively, the “Assignments” and, individually, “Assignment”) relating to the Mortgage Loans (and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, if applicable) conveyed by it under the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in proper form for filing or recording, as



-114-










applicable, and to submit such Assignments for filing or recording, as the case may be, in the applicable public filing or recording office.  On the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Sellers may deliver one (1) omnibus assignment for all such Mortgage Loans and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan to the Custodian as provided in Section 2.01(b).  Except under the circumstances provided for in the last sentence of this subsection (c) and except in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage Loan Seller will itself, or a third party at such Mortgage Loan Seller’s expense will, promptly (and in any event within one hundred-twenty (120) days after the later of the Closing Date and the related Mortgage Loan Seller’s actual receipt of the related documents and the necessary recording and filing information) cause to be submitted for recording or filing, as the case may be, in the appropriate public office for real property records or UCC Financing Statements, as appropriate, each Assignment.  Each such Assignment submitted for recording shall reflect that it (or a file copy thereof in the case of a UCC Assignment) should be returned by the public recording office to the Custodian or its designee following recording or filing (or to the related Mortgage Loan Seller or its agent who will then be responsible for delivery of the same to the Custodian or its designee).  Any such Assignment received by the Custodian shall be promptly included in the related Mortgage File and be deemed a part thereof, and any such Assignment received by the related Mortgage Loan Seller or its agent shall be required to be delivered to the Custodian to be included as part of the related Mortgage File within thirty (30) days after receipt. If any such document or instrument is determined to be incomplete or not to meet the recording or filing requirements of the jurisdiction in which it is to be recorded or filed, or is lost by the public office or returned unrecorded or unfiled, as the case may be, because of a defect therein, on or about one hundred-eighty (180) days after the Closing Date, the related Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee shall prepare, at its own expense, a substitute therefor or cure such defect, as the case may be, and thereafter the related Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee shall, at the expense of such Mortgage Loan Seller, upon receipt thereof cause the same to be duly recorded or filed, as appropriate.  If, by the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Custodian has not received confirmation of the recording or filing as the case may be, of any such Assignment, it shall so advise the related Mortgage Loan Seller who may then pursue such confirmation itself or request that the Custodian pursue such confirmation at the related Mortgage Loan Seller’s expense, and upon such a request and provision for payment of such expenses satisfactory to the Custodian, the Custodian, at the expense of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, shall cause a search of the land records of each applicable jurisdiction and of the records of the offices of the applicable Secretary of State for confirmation that the Assignment appears in such records and retain a copy of such confirmation in the related Mortgage File.  In the event that confirmation of the recording or filing of an Assignment cannot be obtained, the Custodian or the related Mortgage Loan Seller, as applicable, shall promptly inform the other and the Custodian shall provide such Mortgage Loan Seller with a copy of the Assignment and request the preparation of a new Assignment.  The related Mortgage Loan Seller shall pay the expenses for the preparation of replacement Assignments for any Assignments which, having been properly submitted for filing or recording to the appropriate governmental office by the Custodian, fail to appear of record and must be resubmitted.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no requirement to record any assignment to the Trustee referred to in clause (iv) or (vi) of the definition of “Mortgage File,” or to file any UCC-3 to the Trustee referred to in clause (ix) of the definition of “Mortgage File,” in those jurisdictions where, in the written opinion of local counsel (which opinion shall be an expense of the related Mortgage Loan Seller) acceptable to the Depositor and the Trustee, such 



-115-










recordation and/or filing is not required to protect the Trustee’s interest in the related Mortgage Loan and/or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, as applicable, against sale, further assignment, satisfaction or discharge by the related Mortgage Loan Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, any Sub-Servicer or the Depositor.


 


(d)            All documents and records in the Depositor’s or the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s possession relating to the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan (including, in each case, financial statements, operating statements and any other information provided by the respective Mortgagor from time to time, but excluding the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s internal communications (including such communications between such Mortgage Loan Seller and its Affiliates) and underwriting analysis (including documents prepared by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller or any of its Affiliates for such purposes), draft documents, attorney-client communications that are privileged communications or constitute legal or other due diligence analyses and credit underwriting or due diligence analyses or data) that (i) are not required to be a part of a Mortgage File in accordance with the definition thereof and (ii) are reasonably necessary for the servicing of each such Mortgage Loan and Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, together with copies of all documents in each Mortgage File, shall be delivered by the Depositor or the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller to the Master Servicer within five (5) Business Days after the Closing Date and shall be held by the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders (including, with respect to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, the Holders of the Class [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Certificates) (and as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests) and, if applicable, on behalf of the related Companion Holder.  Such documents and records shall be any documents and records (with the exception of any items excluded under the immediately preceding sentence) that would otherwise be a part of the Servicing File.


 


(e)            In connection with the Depositor’s assignment pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Depositor shall deliver to the Trustee, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Master Servicer, on or before two (2) Business Days after the Closing Date, a fully executed original counterpart of each of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements, as in full force and effect, without amendment or modification, on the Closing Date.


 


(f)            The Depositor shall use its reasonable best efforts to require that, promptly after the Closing Date, but in all events within three (3) Business Days after the Closing Date, each of the Mortgage Loan Sellers shall cause all funds on deposit in escrow accounts maintained with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan transferred by such Mortgage Loan Seller, whether such accounts are held in the name of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller or any other name to be transferred to the Master Servicer (or a Sub-Servicer) for deposit into Servicing Accounts.


 


(g)            With respect to the Mortgage Loans secured by the Mortgaged Properties identified as “[LIST APPLICABLE PROPERTIES]” on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, which are each subject to a franchise agreement with a related comfort letter in favor of the respective Mortgage Loan Seller that requires notice to or request of the related franchisor to transfer or assign any related comfort letter to the Trust or otherwise have a new comfort letter issued in the name of the Trust, the related Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee will be required to provide any such required notice or make any such required request to the related franchisor (with a copy 



-116-










of such notice or request to the Master Servicer) within 45 days of the Closing Date (or any shorter period if required by the applicable comfort letter), and the Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts in accordance with the Servicing Standard to acquire such replacement comfort letter, if necessary (or to acquire any such new document or acknowledgement as may be contemplated under the existing comfort letter).


 


(h)            Within [__] days of the Closing Date, Special Servicer, shall review the documents and information delivered or caused to be delivered by each Mortgage Loan Seller constituting the Diligence Files and, promptly following such review (but in no event later than [__] days after the Closing Date), the Special Servicer shall certify in writing to each of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Directing Certificateholder, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Operating Advisor and the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (as to each such Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule) that, except as specifically identified in any exception report annexed to such writing (the “Special Servicer Exception Report”),  the foregoing documents and information delivered or caused to be delivered by the related Mortgage Loan Seller have been reviewed by the Special Servicer and appear on its face to be the Diligence File related to such Mortgage Loan.


 


Section 2.02                          Acceptance by Trustee.  (a)  The Trustee, by the execution and delivery of this Agreement (1) acknowledges receipt by it or a Custodian on its behalf, subject to the provisions of Section 2.01, in good faith and without notice of any adverse claim, of the applicable documents specified in clause (i) of the definition of “Mortgage File” with respect to each Mortgage Loan and Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and of all other assets included in the Trust Fund and (2) declares (a) that it or a Custodian on its behalf holds and will hold such documents and the other documents delivered or caused to be delivered by the Mortgage Loan Sellers that constitute the Mortgage Files, and (b) that it holds and will hold such other assets included in the Trust Fund, in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders and, with respect to any original document in the Mortgage File for a Serviced Whole Loan, for any present or future Companion Holder (and for the benefit of the Trustee as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests), as applicable.  If any Mortgage Loan Seller is unable to deliver or cause the delivery of any original Mortgage Note, such Mortgage Loan Seller may deliver a copy of such Mortgage Note, together with a signed lost note affidavit and appropriate indemnity and shall thereby be deemed to have satisfied the document delivery requirements of Section 2.01 and of this Section 2.02.


 


(b)            Within sixty (60) days of the Closing Date, the Custodian, shall review the Mortgage Loan documents and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan documents delivered or caused to be delivered by the Mortgage Loan Sellers constituting the Mortgage Files; and, promptly following such review (but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the Closing Date), the Custodian shall, in the form attached as Exhibit Q, certify in writing to each of the Rating Agencies, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Directing Certificateholder, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (as to each Mortgage Loan and Trust Subordinate Companion Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan paid in full)) that, except as specifically identified in any exception report annexed to such writing (the “Custodial Exception Report”), (i) subject to the final proviso of the definition of “Mortgage File” herein and Section 2.01 hereof, all documents specified in [clauses (i) through (vi), (viii), 



-117-










(ix), (x), (xi) and (xii)  (or, with respect to clause (xii)], a copy of such letter of credit and the required Officer’s Certificate), if any, of the definition of “Mortgage File”, as applicable, are in its possession, (ii) the foregoing documents delivered or caused to be delivered by the Mortgage Loan Sellers have been reviewed by the Custodian and appear regular on their face and appear to be executed and to relate to such Mortgage Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, and (iii) based on such examination and only as to the foregoing documents, the information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule with respect to the items specified in [clauses (iv), (vi) and (viii)(c)] in the definition of “Mortgage Loan Schedule” is correct.  With respect to each Mortgage Loan and Trust Subordinate Companion Loan listed on the Custodial Exception Report, the Custodian shall specifically identify such Mortgage Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan together with the nature of such exception (in the form reasonably acceptable to the Custodian and the related Mortgage Loan Seller and separating items required to be in the Mortgage File but never delivered from items which were delivered by the related Mortgage Loan Seller but are out for filing or recording and have not been returned by the filing office or the recorder’s office).


 


(c)            The Custodian shall review the Mortgage Loan documents and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan documents received subsequent to the Closing Date; and, on or about the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Custodian shall, in the form attached as Exhibit Q, certify in writing to each of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Certificateholder, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (as to each Mortgage Loan and Trust Subordinate Companion Loan listed on the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any related Mortgage Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan as to which a Liquidation Event has occurred) or any related Mortgage Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan specifically identified in any exception report annexed to such writing) that, (i) subject to the final proviso of the definition of “Mortgage File” herein and Section 2.01 hereof, all documents specified in [clauses (i) through (vi), (viii), (ix), (x), (xi) and (xii)], if any, of the definition of “Mortgage File”, as applicable, are in its possession, (ii) the foregoing documents delivered or caused to be delivered by the Mortgage Loan Sellers have been reviewed by the Custodian and appear regular on their face and appear to be executed and relate to such Mortgage Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, if applicable, and (iii) based on such examination and only as to the foregoing documents, the information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule with respect to the items specified in [clauses (iv), (vi) and (viii)(c)] in the definition of “Mortgage Loan Schedule” is correct.


 


(d)            Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 2.02 and Section 2.03(b) to the contrary, in the case of a Defect in any of the documents specified in [clauses (ii) through (vi), (viii) and (ix)] in the definition of “Mortgage File”, which Defect results solely from a delay in the return of the related documents from the applicable filing or recording office and gives rise to a repurchase or substitution obligation on the part of the related Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to the subject Mortgage Loan pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Directing Certificateholder, in its sole judgment, may (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event), and the Special Servicer may, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, permit the related Mortgage Loan Seller in lieu of repurchasing or substituting for the related Mortgage Loan, to deposit with the Master Servicer 



-118-










an amount, to be held in trust in a segregated Eligible Account (which may be a sub-account of the Collection Account), equal to 25% of the Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan  (in the alternative, the related Mortgage Loan Seller may deliver to the Master Servicer a letter of credit in such amount, with a copy to the Custodian).  Such funds or letter of credit, as applicable, shall be held by the Master Servicer (i) until the date on which the Custodian determines and notifies the Master Servicer that such Defect has been cured or the related Mortgage Loan is no longer part of the Trust Fund, at which time the Master Servicer shall return such funds (or letter of credit) to the related Mortgage Loan Seller, or (ii) until same are applied to the Purchase Price (or the Substitution Shortfall Amount, if applicable) as set forth below in this Section 2.02(d) in the event of a repurchase or substitution by the related Mortgage Loan Seller.  Notwithstanding the two immediately preceding sentences, if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer certifies to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Custodian that it has determined in the exercise of its reasonable judgment that the document with respect to which Defect exists is required in connection with an imminent enforcement of the mortgagee’s rights or remedies under the related Mortgage Loan, defending any claim asserted by any Mortgagor or third party with respect to the related Mortgage Loan, establishing the validity or priority of any lien on collateral securing the related Mortgage Loan or for any immediate significant servicing obligation, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall be required to repurchase or substitute for the related Mortgage Loan in accordance with, and to the extent required by, the terms and conditions of Section 2.03(b) and Section 5 of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement; provided, however, that such Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be required to repurchase the Mortgage Loan for a period of ninety (90) days after receipt of a notice to repurchase (together with any applicable extension period) if it is attempting to recover the document from the applicable filing or recording office and provides an officer’s certificate setting forth what actions such Mortgage Loan Seller is pursuing in connection with such recovery.  In the event of a repurchase or substitution, upon the date of such repurchase or substitution, and in the event that the related Mortgage Loan Seller has delivered a letter of credit to the Master Servicer in accordance with this Section 2.02(d), the Master Servicer shall, to the extent necessary, draw on the letter of credit and deposit the proceeds of such draw, into the Collection Account to be applied to the Purchase Price (or the Substitution Shortfall Amount, if applicable, in which event, the amount of such funds or proceeds that exceed the Substitution Shortfall Amount shall be returned to the related Mortgage Loan Seller) in accordance with Section 2.03(b).  All such funds deposited in the Collection Account shall be invested in Permitted Investments, at the direction and for the benefit of the related Mortgage Loan Seller.  Such funds shall be treated as an “outside reserve fund” under the REMIC Provisions, which, together with any reimbursement from the [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Trust Subordinate Companion Loan REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC, is beneficially owned by the related Mortgage Loan Seller for federal income tax purposes, which Mortgage Loan Seller shall remain liable for any taxes payable on income or gain with respect thereto.


 


(e)            It is herein acknowledged that neither the Trustee nor any Custodian is under any duty or obligation (i) to determine whether any of the documents specified in [clauses (iii) through (vi) (x) through (xviii)] of the definition of “Mortgage File” exist or are required to be delivered by the Depositor, the Mortgage Loan Sellers or any other Person (unless identified on the Mortgage Loan Checklist) or (ii) to inspect, review or examine any of the documents, instruments, certificates or other papers relating to the Mortgage Loans (or the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, as applicable) delivered to it to determine that the same are 



-119-










genuine, enforceable, duly authorized, sufficient to perfect and maintain the perfection of a security interest or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face and, with respect to the documents specified in clause (viii) of the definition of the “Mortgage File”, whether the insurance is effective as of the date of the recordation, whether all endorsements or riders issued are included in the file or if the policy has not been issued whether any acceptable replacement document has been dated the date of the related Mortgage Loan funding.  Further, with respect to the UCC Financing Statements referenced in the Mortgage File, absent actual knowledge to the contrary or copies of UCC Financing Statements delivered to the Custodian as part of the Mortgage File indicating otherwise, the Custodian may assume, for the purposes of the filings and the certification to be delivered in accordance with this Section 2.02 that the related Mortgage File should include one state level UCC Financing Statement filing for each Mortgaged Property (or with respect to any Mortgage Loan (or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, as applicable) that has two or more Mortgagors, for each Mortgagor, except to the extent multiple Mortgagors are named as debtors in the same UCC Financing Statement filing), or if the Custodian has received notice that a particular UCC Financing Statement was filed as a fixture filing, that the related Mortgage File should include only a local UCC Financing Statement filing for each Mortgaged Property (or with respect to any Mortgage Loan (or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, as applicable) that has two or more Mortgagors, for each Mortgagor, except to the extent multiple Mortgagors are named as debtors in the same UCC Financing Statement filing).  The assignments of the UCC Financing Statements to be assigned to the Trust will be delivered on the new national forms (or on such other form as may be acceptable for filing or recording in the applicable jurisdiction) and in a format suitable for filing or recording, as applicable, and will be filed or recorded in the jurisdiction(s) where such UCC Financing Statements were originally filed or recorded, as indicated in the documents provided, and in accordance with then-current laws.


 


(f)            If, in the process of reviewing the Mortgage Files or at any time thereafter, the Custodian finds any document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File (1) not to have been properly executed, (2) subject to the timing requirements of Sections 2.01(b) and 2.01(c), not to have been delivered, (3) to contain information that does not conform in any material respect with the corresponding information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule or (4) to be defective on its face (each, a “Defect” in the related Mortgage File), the Custodian shall promptly so notify the Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Certificateholder, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (and in no event later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date and every calendar quarter thereafter until all Defects are corrected) by providing a Custodial Exception Report setting forth for each affected Mortgage Loan (or affected Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, as applicable), with particularity, the nature of such Defect (in a form reasonably acceptable to the Custodian and such Mortgage Loan Seller and separating items required to be in the Mortgage File but never delivered from items which were delivered by such Mortgage Loan Seller but are out for recording or filing and have not been returned by the recorder’s office or filing office).


 


(g)            If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (i) receives any request or demand for repurchase or replacement of a Mortgage Loan because of a breach of or alleged breach of a representation or warranty or a Defect (any such request or demand for repurchase or replacement, a “Repurchase Request”, and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as 



-120-










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


 


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


 


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


 


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



-121-










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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


(ii) Assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by each other party hereto, this Agreement and all of the obligations of the Depositor hereunder are the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Depositor, enforceable against the Depositor in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law);


 


(iii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance of its obligations hereunder by the Depositor will not conflict with any provisions of any law or regulations to which the Depositor is subject, or conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute a default under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of the certificate of incorporation or the by-laws of the Depositor or any indenture, agreement or instrument to which the Depositor is a party or by which it is bound, or any order or decree applicable to the Depositor, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien on any of the Depositor’s assets or property, which would materially and adversely affect the ability of the Depositor to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; the 



-122-










Depositor has obtained any consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental agency or body required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Depositor of this Agreement;


 


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


 


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


 


(b)            If any Certificateholder, the Directing Certificateholder, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, Operating Advisor, Asset Representations Reviewer or the Trustee discovers (without implying any duty of such person to make, or to attempt to make, such a discovery) or receives notice alleging a Defect in any Mortgage File or a breach of any representation or warranty with respect to a Mortgage Loan set forth in Exhibit 2 of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (with respect to such Mortgage Loan, a “Breach”), which Defect or Breach, as the case may be, materially and adversely affects the value of such Mortgage Loan, the value of the related Mortgaged Property or the interests of the Trustee or any Certificateholder therein, such Certificateholder, the Directing Certificateholder, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, Operating Advisor, Asset Representations Reviewer or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, shall give prompt written notice of such Defect or Breach, as the case may be, to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and, prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder, and the Master Servicer (if the related Mortgage Loan is a Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Special Servicer (if the related Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan), as applicable, shall request in writing that the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, not later than ninety (90) days after (i) except in the case of the succeeding clause (ii), the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s receipt of such notice or (ii) in the case of a Defect or Breach relating to a Mortgage Loan not being a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, but without regard to the rule of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that causes a defective Mortgage Loan to be treated as a qualified mortgage, the earlier of (x) the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s discovery of such Defect or Breach or (y) discovery of such Breach of Defect by any other party, provided that the related Mortgage Loan Seller receives prompt written notice thereof (such ninety (90) day period, the “Initial Cure Period”), (A) cure such Defect or Breach, as the case may be, in all material respects, at such Mortgage Loan Seller’s own expense, including reimbursement of any related reasonable additional expenses of the Trust reasonably incurred by any party to this Agreement, (B) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or REO Loan (excluding any related Serviced Companion Loan, if applicable), at the applicable Purchase Price and in conformity with the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Agreement or (C) substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (other 



-123-










than with respect to the [SERVICED WHOLE LOAN] Mortgage Loan or the [NON-SERVICED WHOLE LOAN] Mortgage Loan, as applicable, for which no substitution will be permitted) for such affected Mortgage Loan or REO Loan (excluding any related Serviced Companion Loan, if applicable) (provided that in no event shall any such substitution occur on or after the second anniversary of the Closing Date) and pay the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account, any Substitution Shortfall Amount in connection therewith and in conformity with the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Agreement; provided, however, that except with respect to a Defect resulting solely from the failure by the Mortgage Loan Seller to deliver to the Trustee or Custodian the actual policy of lender’s title insurance required pursuant to clause (viii) of the definition of Mortgage File by a date not later than eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date, if such Breach or Defect is capable of being cured but is not cured within the Initial Cure Period, and the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller has commenced and is diligently proceeding with the cure of such Breach or Defect within the Initial Cure Period, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall have an additional ninety (90) days commencing immediately upon the expiration of the Initial Cure Period (such additional ninety (90) day period, the “Extended Cure Period”) to complete such cure (or, failing such cure, to repurchase the related Mortgage Loan or REO Loan (excluding any related Serviced Companion Loan, if applicable) or substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (other than with respect to the [SERVICED WHOLE LOAN] Mortgage Loan or the [NON-SERVICED WHOLE LOAN] Mortgage Loan, as applicable, for which no substitution will be permitted)) and provided, further, that with respect to such Extended Cure Period the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall have delivered an officer’s certificate to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator (who shall promptly deliver a copy of such officer’s certificate to the 17g-5 Information Provider), the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and, prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder, setting forth the reason such Breach or Defect is not capable of being cured within the Initial Cure Period and what actions the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller is pursuing in connection with the cure thereof and stating that the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller anticipates that such Breach or Defect will be cured within the Extended Cure Period.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Defect or Breach which causes any Mortgage Loan not to be a “qualified mortgage” (within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, but without regard to the rule of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that causes a defective Mortgage Loan to be treated as a qualified mortgage) shall be deemed to materially and adversely affect the interests of Certificateholders therein, and (subject to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s right to cure such Defect or Breach during the Initial Cure Period) such Mortgage Loan shall be repurchased or substituted for without regard to the Extended Cure Period described in the preceding sentence.  If the affected Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased, the funds in the amount of the Purchase Price remitted by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller are to be remitted by wire transfer to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account.


 


If a Mortgage Loan Seller, in connection with a Defect or a Breach (or an allegation of a Defect or a Breach) pertaining to a Mortgage Loan, makes a cash payment pursuant to an agreement or a settlement between the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller and the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust (and with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder if no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing) (each such payment, a “Loss of Value Payment”) with respect to such Mortgage Loan, the amount of such Loss of Value Payment shall be deposited into the Loss of Value Reserve Fund to be applied in accordance 



-124-










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


 


If any Breach pertains to a representation or warranty that the related Mortgage Loan documents or any particular Mortgage Loan document requires the related Mortgagor to bear the costs and expenses associated with any particular action or matter under such Mortgage Loan document(s), then the related Mortgage Loan Seller may cure such Breach within the applicable cure period (as the same may be extended) by reimbursing the Trust (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) for (i) the reasonable amount of any such costs and expenses incurred by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Trust that are incurred as a result of such Breach and have not been reimbursed by the related Mortgagor and (ii) the amount of any fees and reimbursable expenses of the Asset Representations Reviewer attributable to the Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that in the event any such costs and expenses exceed $10,000, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall have the option to either repurchase or substitute for the related Mortgage Loan as provided above or pay such costs and expenses.  Except as provided in the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall remit the amount of such costs and expenses and upon its making such remittance, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall be deemed to have cured such Breach in all respects.  To the extent any fees or expenses that are the subject of a cure by the related Mortgage Loan Seller are subsequently obtained from the related Mortgagor, the portion of the cure payment made by the related Mortgage Loan Seller equal to such fees or expenses obtained from the related Mortgagor shall promptly be returned to the related Mortgage Loan Seller.  Periodic Payments due with respect to each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (if any) after the related Due Date in the month of substitution, and Periodic Payments due with respect to each Mortgage Loan being repurchased or replaced after the related Cut-off Date and received by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust on or prior to the related date of repurchase or substitution, shall be part of the Trust Fund.  Periodic Payments due with respect to each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (if any) on or prior to the related Due Date in the month of substitution, and Periodic Payments due with 



-125-










respect to each Mortgage Loan being repurchased or replaced and received by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust after the related date of repurchase or substitution, shall not be part of the Trust Fund and are to be remitted by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller effecting the related repurchase or substitution promptly following receipt. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, no delay in either the discovery of a Defect or Breach shall relieve the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller of its obligation to repurchase if it is otherwise required to do so under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and/or this Article II unless (i) the related Mortgage Loan Seller did not otherwise discover or have knowledge of such Breach or Defect and (ii) such delay is a result of the failure by a party to the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, or this Agreement, to provide prompt notice as required by the terms of the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, or this Agreement, after such party has actual knowledge of such Defect or Breach (knowledge shall not be deemed to exist by reason of the Custodial Exception Report) and such delay precludes such Mortgage Loan Seller from curing such Defect or Breach. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Defect or other matter relating to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan which (i) causes the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan not to be a “qualified mortgage” (within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, but without regard to the rule of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that causes a defective Trust Subordinate Companion Loan to be treated as a qualified mortgage) or (ii) would otherwise cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC, or result in the imposition of any tax on any Trust REMIC, following 90 days after (x) the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s discovery of such Defect or Breach or (y) discovery of such Breach of Defect by any other party, provided that the related Mortgage Loan Seller receives prompt written notice thereof, if the same is not cured, then (i) the Custodian shall, upon receipt of a Request for Release from the Master Servicer, release or cause to be released to the Subordinate Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder or any designee thereof, the Mortgage Note for the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and the Custodian or the Trustee shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments furnished to it by the Subordinate Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder as shall be necessary to effectuate transfer of such Mortgage Note, (ii) the [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Trust Subordinate Companion Loan REMIC shall be liquidated in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 9.02 and (iii) neither of the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall have any further obligation to service the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan hereunder.


 


(c)            Subject to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s right to cure as contemplated above in this Section 2.03, and further subject to Section 2.01(b) and Section 2.01(c), any of the following will cause a document in the Mortgage File to be deemed to have a “Defect” and to be conclusively presumed to materially and adversely affect the interests of Certificateholders in a Mortgage Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan (but solely with respect to clause (a)) and to be deemed to materially and adversely affect the interest of the Certificateholders in and the value of a Mortgage Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan:  (a) the absence from the Mortgage File of the original signed Mortgage Note, unless the Mortgage File contains a signed lost note affidavit and indemnity with a copy of the Mortgage Note that appears to be regular on its face; (b) the absence from the Mortgage File of the original signed Mortgage that appears to be regular on its face, unless there is included in the Mortgage File either a copy of the Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon or a copy of the Mortgage and a certificate from the related Mortgage Loan Seller stating that the original signed Mortgage 



-126-










was sent for recordation; (c) the absence from the Mortgage File of the item called for by clause (viii) of the definition of Mortgage File; (d) the absence from the Mortgage File of any intervening assignments required to create a complete chain of assignments to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust, unless there is included in the Mortgage File either a copy of the assignment with evidence of recording thereon or a copy of the intervening assignment and a certificate from the related Mortgage Loan Seller stating that the original intervening assignments were sent for filing or recordation, as applicable; (e) the absence from the Mortgage File of any required letter of credit (except as permitted under Section 2.01(b)); or (f) with respect to any related leasehold Mortgage Loan, the absence from the related Mortgage File of a copy (or an original, if available) of the related Ground Lease; provided, however, that no Defect (except the Defects previously described in subclauses (a) through (f) of this Section 2.03(c)) shall be considered to materially and adversely affect the value of the related Mortgage Loan, the value of the related Mortgaged Property or the interests of the Trustee or Certificateholders unless the document with respect to which the Defect exists is required in connection with an imminent enforcement of the mortgagee’s rights or remedies under the related Mortgage Loan, defending any claim asserted by any Mortgagor or third party with respect to the related Mortgage Loan, establishing the validity or priority of any lien on any collateral securing the related Mortgage Loan or for any immediate significant servicing obligation; provided, further, that no Defect relating to the Non-Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan previously described in subclauses (b) through (f) of this Section 2.03(c) shall be considered to materially and adversely affect the value of such Mortgage Loan, the value of the related Mortgaged Property or the interests of the Trustee or Certificateholders unless the related Mortgage Loan Seller, after receipt of notice of such Defect, is unable to produce a copy of the document with respect to which the Defect exists within a reasonable period after receiving such notice or otherwise establish that the original or copy, as applicable, of such document has been delivered, in compliance with the terms of the related Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement, to [NON-SERVICED CUSTODIAN], as custodian under the related Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the delivery of executed escrow instructions or a binding commitment to issue a lender’s title insurance policy, as provided in clause (viii) of the definition of Mortgage File herein, in lieu of the delivery of the actual policy of lender’s title insurance, shall not be considered a Defect or Breach with respect to any Mortgage File if such actual policy is delivered to the Custodian not later than eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a Mortgage Loan Seller has otherwise complied with its document delivery requirements under this Agreement and the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, in the event that the Custodian has acknowledged receipt pursuant to Section 2.02 above of a document that is part of the Mortgage File or a Mortgage Loan Seller can otherwise prove delivery of the document, and the Custodian subsequently loses a document, the fact that such document is lost may not be utilized as the basis for a claim of a Defect against a Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to Section 5.3 of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and/or this Section 2.03 and the Custodian shall be liable for any such loss to the extent provided for in Section 8.01 hereof.


 


(d)            In connection with any repurchase of, or substitution of a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for a Mortgage Loan or a repurchase of a Trust Subordinate Companion Loan contemplated by this Section 2.03, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each tender to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, upon delivery to each of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer of a trust receipt executed by the 



-127-










applicable Mortgage Loan Seller evidencing such repurchase or substitution, all portions of the Mortgage File and other documents pertaining to such Mortgage Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan possessed by each of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer (other than attorney-client communications that are privileged communications), and each document that constitutes a part of the Mortgage File that was endorsed or assigned to the Trustee shall be endorsed or assigned, as the case may be to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller in the same manner as provided in Section 5 of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and, if applicable, the definition of “Mortgage File” herein, so as to vest in such Mortgage Loan Seller the legal and beneficial ownership of such repurchased or substituted Mortgage Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan (including property acquired in respect thereof and proceeds of any insurance policy with respect thereto) and the related Mortgage Loan documents.


 


(e)            Section 5.3 of each of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements provides the sole remedy available to the Certificateholders (subject to the limitations on the rights of the Certificateholders under this Agreement), or the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, with respect to any Defect in a Mortgage File or any Breach of any representation or warranty with respect to a Mortgage Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan set forth in or required to be made pursuant to Section 5 of any of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements[; provided, however, that the foregoing shall in no way limit the ability of the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Trustee to take any action against [REPURCHASE GUARANTOR ENTITIES], to the extent provided for pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including, without limitation, pursuant to Sections 17 and 18 thereof].


 


(f)            The Master Servicer (in the case of Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) or the Special Servicer (in the case of Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) shall, for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Trustee (as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests), enforce the obligations of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller under the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.  Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, if any, shall be carried out in such form, to such extent and at such time as the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer would require were it, in its individual capacity, the owner of the affected Mortgage Loan(s) or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan.  Any costs incurred by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer with respect to the enforcement of the obligations of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller under the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement shall, to the extent not recovered from the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, be deemed to be Servicing Advances to the extent not otherwise provided for herein.  The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be reimbursed for the reasonable costs of such enforcement:  first, from a specific recovery, if any, of costs, expenses or attorneys’ fees against the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller; second, pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(vii) herein out of the related Purchase Price, to the extent that such expenses are a specific component thereof; and third, if at the conclusion of such enforcement action it is determined that the amounts described in clauses first and second are insufficient, then pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(viii) herein out of general collections on the Mortgage Loans on deposit in the Collection Account.  Any costs, expenses or attorneys’ fees related to a repurchase of a Companion Loan shall be paid pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement or pursuant to the documents related to an Other Securitization, if applicable.



-128-










 


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


 


(h)            If (i) any Crossed Underlying Loan is required to be repurchased or substituted for in the manner described in this Section 2.03 and (ii) the applicable Defect or Breach does not constitute a Defect or Breach, as the case may be, as to any other Crossed Underlying Loan in the related Crossed Mortgage Loan Group (without regard to this paragraph), then the applicable Defect or Breach, as the case may be, will be deemed to constitute a Defect or Breach, as the case may be, as to any other Crossed Underlying Loan in the related Crossed Mortgage Loan Group for purposes of this paragraph, and the related Mortgage Loan Seller will be required to repurchase or substitute for such other Crossed Underlying Loan(s) in the related Crossed Mortgage Loan Group as provided in Section 2.03(b) unless such other Crossed Underlying Loans satisfy the Crossed Underlying Loan Repurchase Criteria.  In the event that the remaining Crossed Underlying Loans in such Crossed Mortgage Loan Group satisfy the aforementioned criteria, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller may elect either to repurchase or substitute for only the affected Crossed Underlying Loan(s) as to which the related Breach or Defect exists or to repurchase or substitute for all of the Crossed Underlying Loans in the related Crossed Mortgage Loan Group.  Any reserve or other cash collateral or letters of credit securing the Crossed Underlying Loans shall be allocated among the related Crossed Underlying Loans in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan documents or otherwise on a pro rata basis based upon their outstanding Stated Principal Balances.  Except as provided in this Section 2.03(h) and Section 2.03(i), all other terms of the related Mortgage Loans shall remain in full force and effect without any modification thereof.



-129-










(i)            Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the related Mortgage provides for the partial release of one or more of the Crossed Underlying Loans, the Depositor may cause the related Mortgage Loan Seller to repurchase only that Crossed Underlying Loan required to be repurchased pursuant to this Section 2.03, pursuant to the partial release provisions of the related Mortgage; provided, however, that (i) the remaining related Crossed Underlying Loan(s) fully comply with the terms and conditions of the related Mortgage, this Agreement and the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including the Crossed Underlying Loan Repurchase Criteria, (ii) in connection with such partial release, the related Mortgage Loan Seller obtains an Opinion of Counsel (at such Mortgage Loan Seller’s expense) to the effect that the contemplated action will not cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC, or result in the imposition of any tax on any Trust REMIC and (iii) in connection with such partial release, the related Mortgage Loan Seller delivers or causes to be delivered to the Custodian original modifications to the Mortgage prepared and executed in connection with such partial release.


 


(j)            With respect to any Crossed Underlying Loan, to the extent that the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller is required to repurchase or substitute for such Crossed Underlying Loan in the manner prescribed in Section 2.03(g) while the Trustee continues to hold any other Crossed Underlying Loans in the related Crossed Mortgage Loan Group, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller and the Master Servicer or, with respect to a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, as assignee of the Depositor, will, as set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, forbear from enforcing any remedies against the other’s Primary Collateral but each will be permitted to exercise remedies against the Primary Collateral securing its respective related Mortgage Loans, including with respect to the Trustee, the Primary Collateral securing the Mortgage Loans still held by the Trustee, so long as such exercise does not materially impair the ability of the other party to exercise its remedies against its Primary Collateral.  If the exercise of the remedies by one party would materially impair the ability of the other party to exercise its remedies with respect to the Primary Collateral securing the Crossed Underlying Loans held by such party, then both parties have agreed in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to forbear from exercising such remedies until the Mortgage Loan documents evidencing and securing the relevant Mortgage Loan can be modified in a manner that complies with the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to remove the threat of material impairment as a result of the exercise of remedies.


 


(k)            (i)  In the event an Initial Requesting Certificateholder delivers a written request to the Special Servicer that a Mortgage Loan be repurchased by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller alleging the existence of a Defect or Breach with respect to such Mortgage Loan and setting forth the basis for such allegation (a “Repurchase Request”), the Special Servicer shall promptly forward that Repurchase Request to the related Mortgage Loan Seller and each other party to this Agreement.  Subject to Section 2.03(l), the Special Servicer shall be the Enforcing Party with respect to the Repurchase Request. In the event the Repurchase Request is not Resolved within 180 days after the Mortgage Loan Seller receives the Repurchase Request (a “Resolution Failure”), then the provisions described in Section 2.03(l)(i) below shall apply.  Receipt of the Repurchase Request shall be deemed to occur two Business Days after the Special Servicer sends the Repurchase Request to the related Mortgage Loan Seller.


 


(ii) In the event that a party to this Agreement identifies a Defect or Breach with respect to a Mortgage Loan, that party shall deliver prompt written notice of such 



-130-










Defect or Breach to each other party to this Agreement identifying the applicable Mortgage Loan and setting forth the basis for such allegation.  The Special Servicer shall promptly forward the Repurchase Request to the related Mortgage Loan Seller and each other party to this Agreement.  The Special Servicer shall act as the Enforcing Party and enforce the rights of the Trust against the related Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to the Repurchase Request. However, if a Resolution Failure occurs with respect to the Repurchase Request, the provisions described in Section 2.03(l)(i) below shall apply.


 


(l)            (i)  After a Resolution Failure occurs with respect to a Repurchase Request regarding a Mortgage Loan (whether the Repurchase Request was initiated by an Initial Requesting Certificateholder or by a party to this Agreement), the Special Servicer will be required to send a notice (a “Proposed Course of Action Notice”) to the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, to the address specified in the Initial Requesting Certificateholder’s Repurchase Request, and to all other Certificateholders and Certificate Owners (by posting such notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website) indicating the Special Servicer’s intended course of action with respect to the Repurchase Request.  If (a)  the Special Servicer’s intended course of action with respect to the Repurchase Request does not involve pursuing further action to exercise rights against the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to the Repurchase Request and the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, or any other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner wishes to exercise its right to refer the matter to mediation (including nonbinding arbitration) or arbitration, or (b) the Special Servicer’s intended course of action is to pursue further action to exercise rights against the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to the Repurchase Request but the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, or any other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner does not agree with the dispute resolution method selected by the Special Servicer, then the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, or such other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner may deliver to the Special Servicer a written notice (a “Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice”) within 30 days from the date of the Proposed Course of Action Notice (the “Dispute Resolution Cut-off Date”) indicating its intent to exercise its right to refer the matter to either mediation or arbitration.


 


(ii) If neither the Initial Repurchasing Certificateholder, if any, nor any other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner delivers a Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice prior to the Dispute Resolution Cut-off Date, no Certificateholder or Certificate Owner shall have the right to refer the Repurchase Request to mediation or arbitration, and the Special Servicer, as the Enforcing Party, shall be the sole party entitled to enforce the Trust’s rights against the related Mortgage Loan Seller, subject to any consent or consultation rights of the Directing Certificateholder pursuant to Section 6.08.


 


(iii) [Promptly and in any event within [__] Business Days following receipt of a Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice from (a) the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, or (b) any other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner (each of clauses (a) or (b), a “Requesting Certificateholder”), the Special Servicer will be required to consult with each Requesting Certificateholder regarding such Requesting Certificateholder’s intention to elect either mediation (including nonbinding arbitration) or arbitration as the dispute resolution method with respect to the Repurchase Request (the “Dispute Resolution Consultation”) so that such Requesting Certificateholder may consider the views of the Special Servicer as to the claims underlying the Repurchase 



-131-










Request and possible dispute resolution methods, such discussions to occur and be completed no later than [at least 10] Business Days following receipt of a Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice.  The Special Servicer shall be entitled to establish procedures the Special Servicer deems in good faith to be appropriate relating to the timing and extent of such consultations.] No later than [at least 5] Business Days after completion of the Dispute Resolution Consultation, a Requesting Certificateholder may provide a final notice to the Special Servicer indicating its decision to exercise its right to refer the matter to either mediation or arbitration (“Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice”).


 


(iv) If, following the Dispute Resolution Consultation, no Requesting Certificateholder timely delivers a Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice to the Special Servicer, then the Special Servicer will continue to act as the Enforcing Party and remain obligated under this Agreement to enforce the rights of the Trust with respect to the Repurchase Request and no Certificateholder or Certificate Owner will have any further right to elect to refer the matter to mediation or arbitration.


 


(v) If a Requesting Certificateholder timely delivers a Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice to the Special Servicer, then such Requesting Certificateholder shall become the Enforcing Party and must promptly submit the matter to mediation (including nonbinding arbitration) or arbitration.  If there are more than one Requesting Certificateholder that timely deliver a Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice, then such Requesting Certificateholders will collectively become the Enforcing Party, and the holder or holders of a majority of the Voting Rights among such Requesting Certificateholders will be entitled to make all decisions relating to the mediation or arbitration. If, however, no Requesting Certificateholder commences arbitration or mediation pursuant to the terms of this Agreement within [at least 30] days after delivery of its Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice to the Special Servicer, then (i) the rights of a Requesting Certificateholder to act as the Enforcing Party shall terminate and no Certificateholder or Certificate Owner shall have any further right to elect to refer the matter to mediation or arbitration, (ii) if the Proposed Course of Action Notice indicated that the Special Servicer shall take no further action with respect to the Repurchase Request, then the related Defect or Breach shall be deemed waived for all purposes under this Agreement and the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, and (iii) if the Proposed Course of Action Notice had indicated a course of action other than the course of action under clause (ii), then the Special Servicer shall again become the Enforcing Party and, as such, shall be the sole party entitled to enforce the Trust’s rights against the related Mortgage Loan Seller.


 


(vi) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the dispute resolution provisions described above under this Section 2.03(l) will not apply, and the Special Servicer shall remain the Enforcing Party, if the Special Servicer has commenced litigation with respect to the Repurchase Request, or determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that it is in the best interest of Certificateholders to commence litigation with respect to the Repurchase Request to avoid the running of any applicable statute of limitations.



-132-










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


 


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


 


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


 


(ii) The mediator shall be impartial, [an attorney admitted to practice in the State of New York] and have at least [__] years of experience in commercial litigation, and if possible, commercial real estate finance or commercial mortgage-backed securitization matters and who will be appointed from a list of neutrals maintained by [MEDIATOR].  Upon being supplied a list of at least ten potential mediators by [MEDIATOR] each party will have the right to exercise two peremptory challenges within [14] days and to rank the remaining potential mediators in order of preference.  [MEDIATOR] shall select the mediator from the remaining attorneys on the list respecting the preference choices of the parties to the extent possible.


 


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


 


(iv) The expenses of any mediation will be allocated among the parties to the mediation, as mutually agreed by the parties as part of the mediation.


 


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


 


(i) The arbitration shall be administered by a nationally recognized arbitration services provider selected by the related Mortgage Loan Seller in accordance with published arbitration procedures (the “Arbitration Rules”) promulgated by a nationally recognized arbitration services provider selected by the Mortgage Loan Seller.


 


(ii) The arbitrator shall be impartial, [an attorney admitted to practice in the State of New York] and have at least [__] years of experience in commercial litigation, and if possible, commercial real estate finance or commercial mortgage-backed securitization matters and who will be appointed from a list of neutrals maintained by [ARBITRATOR].  Upon being supplied a list of at least ten potential arbitrators by [ARBITRATOR] each party will have the right to exercise two peremptory challenges within [14] days and to rank the remaining potential arbitrators in order of preference.  [ARBITRATOR] will select the arbitrator from the remaining attorneys on the list respecting the preference choices of the parties to the extent possible.]



-133-










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


 


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


 


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


 


(vi) The arbitrator shall make its final determination no later than [30] days after the conclusion of the hearings and submission of any post-hearing submissions.  The arbitrator shall resolve the dispute in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Agreement, and may not modify or change those agreements in any way or award remedies not consistent with those agreements.  The arbitrator will not have the power to award punitive damages or consequential damages in any arbitration conducted by them.  Interest on any monetary award shall bear interest from the date the Election Notice at the annual rate of [______].  In its final determination, the arbitrator shall determine and award the costs of the arbitration (including the fees of the arbitrator, cost of any record or transcript of the arbitration, and administrative fees) and shall award reasonable attorneys’ fees to the parties to the arbitration as determined by the arbitrator in its reasonable discretion.  The determination of the arbitrator shall be by a reasoned decision in writing and counterpart copies will be promptly delivered to the parties. The final determination of the arbitrator shall be final and non-appealable, except for actions to confirm or vacate the determination permitted under federal or state law, and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.


 


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


 


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



-134-










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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


(iv) [In the event a Requesting Certificateholder is the Enforcing Party, the agreement with the arbitrator or mediator, as the case may be, shall be required to contain an acknowledgment that the Trust, or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf, shall be a party to any arbitration or mediation proceeding solely for the purpose of being the beneficiary of any award in favor of the Enforcing Party.] All amounts recovered by the Enforcing Party shall be paid to the Trust, or the Special Servicer on its behalf, and deposited in the Collection Account. The agreement with the arbitrator or mediator, as the case may be, will provide that in the event a Requesting Certificateholder is allocated any related costs and expenses pursuant to the terms of the arbitrator’s decision or the agreement reached in mediation, neither the Trust nor the Special Servicer acting on its behalf shall be responsible for any such costs and expenses allocated to the Requesting Certificateholder.

Each party to the proceedings shall be required to agree to keep confidential the details related to the Repurchase Request and the dispute resolution identified in connection with such procedures; provided, however, that the Certificateholders shall be permitted to communicate prior to the commencement of any such proceedings to the extent provided in Section 5.06.


 


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

Any provision in this Agreement for any Advance by the Master Servicer or the Trustee is intended solely to provide liquidity for the benefit of the Certificateholders and not as credit support or otherwise to impose on any such Person the risk of loss with respect to one or more of the Mortgage Loans, any related Serviced Companion Loans or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan.  No provision hereof shall be construed to impose liability on the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer for the reason that any recovery to the Certificateholders in respect of a Mortgage Loan at any time after a determination of present value recovery is less than the amount reflected in such determination.


 


(b)            Subject only to the Servicing Standard and the terms of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 6.08) and of the respective Mortgage Loans, any related Serviced Companion Loans or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and any related Intercreditor Agreement, if applicable, and applicable law, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each shall have full power and authority, acting alone or, in the case of the Master Servicer, subject to Section 3.20, through one or more Sub-Servicers, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration for which it is responsible which it may deem necessary or desirable.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, in its own name (or in the name of the Trustee and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Noteholder), is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders (including, in the case of the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, the Holders of the Class [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Certificates) (and, with respect to a Serviced Companion Loan, the related Serviced Companion Noteholder) and the Trustee or any of them, with respect to each Mortgage Loan, any related Serviced Companion Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, it is obligated to service under this Agreement:  (i) any and all financing statements, continuation statements and other documents or instruments necessary to maintain the lien created by the related Mortgage or other security document in the related Mortgage File on the related Mortgaged Property and related collateral, and shall, from time to time, execute and/or deliver such financing statements, continuation statements and other documents or instruments as necessary to maintain the lien created by the related Mortgage or other security document in the related Mortgage File on the related Mortgaged Property and related collateral; (ii) subject to Sections 3.08, 3.18 and 6.08, any and all modifications, waivers, amendments or consents to, under or with respect to any documents contained in the related Mortgage File; (iii) any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, pledge agreements and other documents in connection with a defeasance, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments; and (iv) any or all complaints or other pleadings to initiate and/or to terminate any action, suit or proceeding on behalf of the Trust (in their representative capacities (except as set forth below in this paragraph). The Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) and the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) shall provide to the Mortgagor related to such Mortgage Loans or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan that it is servicing any reports required to be provided to them pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan documents.

Subject to Section 3.10, the Trustee shall (i) on the Closing Date, furnish to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer original powers of attorney in the form of Exhibit R attached hereto (or such other form as mutually agreed to by the Trustee and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable) and (ii) upon request, furnish, or cause to be furnished, to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer any powers of attorney substantially in the form of Exhibit R attached hereto (or such other form as mutually agreed to by the Trustee and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable) and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be held responsible or liable for any acts of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, or for any negligence with respect to, or misuse of, any such power of attorney by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall not, without the Trustee’s written consent:  (i) initiate any action, suit or proceeding solely under the Trustee’s name without indicating the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as the case may be, representative capacity (unless prohibited by any requirement of the applicable jurisdiction in which any such action, suit or proceeding is brought and if so prohibited, in the manner required by such jurisdiction (provided that the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall then provide five (5) Business Days’ written notice to the Trustee of the initiation of such action, suit or proceeding (or such shorter time period as is reasonably required in the judgment of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, made in accordance with the Servicing Standard) prior to filing such action, suit or proceeding), and shall not be required to obtain the Trustee’s consent or indicate the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s, as applicable, representative capacity)) or (ii) take any action with the intent to cause, and that actually causes, the Trustee to be required to be registered to do business in any state.


 


(c)            To the extent the Master Servicer is permitted pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents, Companion Loan documents or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan documents (including any related Intercreditor Agreement) to exercise its discretion with respect to any action which requires Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and a confirmation of any applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities (if any) or the Class [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Certificates (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25), the Master Servicer shall require the costs of such Rating Agency Confirmation to be borne by the related Mortgagor.  To the extent the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents, Companion Loan documents or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan documents (including any related Intercreditor Agreement) require the Mortgagor to bear the costs of any Rating Agency Confirmation or confirmation of any applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities (if any) or Class [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Certificates (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25), the Master Servicer shall not waive the requirement that such costs and expenses be borne by the related Mortgagor.  To the extent that the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents or Companion Loan documents (including any related 



-141-










Intercreditor Agreement) are silent as to who bears the costs of any Rating Agency Confirmation or confirmation of any applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities (if any) or Class [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Certificates (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25), the Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to have the Mortgagor bear such costs and expenses.  The Master Servicer shall not be responsible for the payment of such costs and expenses out of pocket other than as a Servicing Advance.


 


(d)            The relationship of each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to the Trustee under this Agreement is intended by the parties to be that of an independent contractor and not that of a joint venturer, partner or agent.


 


(e)            The Master Servicer shall, to the extent permitted by the related Mortgage Loan documents, any related Companion Loan documents or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan documents, and consistent with the Servicing Standard, permit Escrow Payments to be invested only in Permitted Investments.


 


(f)            Within sixty (60) days (or such shorter time period as is required by the terms of the applicable Mortgage Loan documents) after the later of (i) the receipt thereof by the Master Servicer and (ii) the Closing Date, (x) the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement shall notify each provider of a letter of credit for each Mortgage Loan identified as having a letter of credit on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, that the Master Servicer (in care of the Trustee, as titled in Section 2.01(b)) for the benefit of the Certificateholders and any related Companion Holders shall be the beneficiary under each such letter of credit and (y) the Master Servicer shall notify each lessor under a Ground Lease for each Mortgage Loan identified as subject to a leasehold interest on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, that the Trust is the leasehold mortgagee and that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall service the related Mortgage Loan for the benefit of the Certificateholders.  If a letter of credit is required to be drawn upon earlier than the date the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller has notified the provider of such letter of credit pursuant to clause (x) of the immediately preceding sentence, such Mortgage Loan Seller shall cooperate with the reasonable requests of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer in connection with making a draw under such letter of credit.  If the Mortgage Loan documents do not require the related Mortgagor to pay any costs and expenses relating to any modifications to or assignment of the related letter of credit, then the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall pay such costs and expenses as and to the extent required under the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.  If the Mortgage Loan documents require the related Mortgagor to pay any costs and expenses relating to any modifications to the related letter of credit, and such Mortgagor fails to pay such costs and expenses after the Master Servicer has exercised reasonable efforts to collect such costs and expenses from such Mortgagor, then the Master Servicer shall give the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller notice of such failure and the amount of costs and expenses, and such Mortgage Loan Seller shall pay such costs and expenses as and to the extent required under the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.  The costs and expenses of any modifications to Ground Leases shall be paid by the related Mortgagor.  Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall have any liability for the 



-142-










failure of any Mortgage Loan Seller to perform its obligations under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.


 


(g)            Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Master Servicer (or the Trustee, as applicable) make an Advance with respect to any Companion Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan to the extent the related Serviced Mortgage Loan or Trust AB Mortgage Loan, as applicable, has been paid in full or is no longer included in the Trust Fund.


 


(h)            Servicing and administration of each Serviced Companion Loan and Trust Subordinate Companion Loan shall continue hereunder and in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement for so long as the corresponding Serviced Mortgage Loan or Trust AB Mortgage Loan, as applicable, or any related REO Property is part of the Trust Fund or for such longer period as any amounts payable by the related Companion Holder or the holder of the related Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, as applicable, to or for the benefit of the Trust or any party hereto in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement remain due and owing.


 


(i)            The Special Servicer agrees that upon the occurrence of a Servicing Transfer Event with respect to any Mortgage Loan, Serviced Whole Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, that is subject to or becomes subject to an Intercreditor Agreement in the future, it shall, subject to Section 3.19, use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce, on behalf of the Trust, subject to the Servicing Standard and to the extent the Special Servicer determines such action is in the best interests of the Trust, all rights conveyed to the Trustee pursuant to any such Intercreditor Agreement.  The costs and expenses incurred by the Special Servicer in connection with such enforcement shall be paid as a Trust Fund expense or, subject to the terms of the applicable Intercreditor Agreement, (i) with respect to any Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan, pro rata and pari passu, by the Trust and Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, in accordance with the respective Stated Principal Balances of the related Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan and Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, (ii) with respect to the Trust AB Whole Loan, first, from proceeds in the Collection Account that are allocable to the related Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and then, if such amounts are insufficient, from the Collection Account as a Trust Fund expense, or (iii) with respect to any AB Whole Loan, first, by the related AB Subordinate Companion Loan and then, by the Trust.


 


(j)            Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, to the extent required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the servicing and administration of a Serviced Whole Loan shall continue hereunder (but not with respect to making Advances) even if the related Serviced Mortgage Loan is no longer part of the Trust Fund, until such time as a separate servicing agreement is entered into in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement (it being acknowledged that neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be obligated under a separate agreement to which it is not a party); provided that, other than pursuant to Section 6.04 (and, with respect to Section 6.04, solely with respect to claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses incurred in connection with a legal claim or action resulting from an action or inaction taken or not taken while the related Serviced Mortgage Loan was part of the Trust Fund), no costs, expenses, losses or fees accruing with respect to such Serviced Whole Loan on and after the date the related Serviced Mortgage Loan is 



-143-










no longer part of the Trust Fund shall be payable out of the Trust Fund and the Master Servicer shall have no obligation to make any Advance on or after the date such Serviced Mortgage Loan ceases to be part of the Trust Fund; provided, however, that if, in the case of any Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan, the related Serviced Companion Loan continues to be included in an Other Securitization, then for so long as a separate servicing agreement (pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement) has not been entered into, the Master Servicer shall inform the related Other Servicer of any need to make Servicing Advances with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan within three (3) Business Days of determining that such an Advance is necessary or being notified that such an Advance is necessary, or in the case of a Servicing Advance that needs to be made on an emergency or urgent basis, within one (1) Business Day. With respect to Servicing Advances made by any Other Servicer as contemplated in the proviso to the preceding sentence, the Master Servicer shall, from collections on the related Serviced Whole Loan (but never out of general collections on the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties) received by the Master Servicer, reimburse the Other Servicer for such Servicing Advances in the same manner and on the same level of priority as if such Servicing Advances had been made by the Master Servicer hereunder.


 


(k)            Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Master Servicer’s and the Special Servicer’s obligations and responsibilities hereunder and the Master Servicer’s and the Special Servicer’s authority with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan are limited by and subject to the terms of the related Non-Serviced Intercreditor Agreement and the rights of the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer and Non-Serviced Special Servicer with respect thereto under the related Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement.  The Master Servicer (or, with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer) shall use reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standards to enforce the rights of the Trustee (as holder of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) under the related Non-Serviced Intercreditor Agreement and Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement.


 


(l)            The parties hereto acknowledge that each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is subject to the terms and conditions of the related Non-Serviced Intercreditor Agreement and further acknowledge that, pursuant to the related Non-Serviced Intercreditor Agreement, (i) the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is to be serviced and administered by the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer and Non-Serviced Special Servicer in accordance with the related Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement, and (ii) in the event that (A) the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan is no longer part of the Trust Fund created by the related Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement and (B) the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is included in the Trust Fund, then, as set forth in the related Non-Serviced Intercreditor Agreement, the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan shall continue to be serviced in accordance with the related Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement, until such time as a new servicing agreement has been agreed to by the parties to the related Non-Serviced Intercreditor Agreement in accordance with the provisions of such agreement and confirmation has been obtained from the Rating Agencies that such new servicing agreement would not result in a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then current ratings of any Class of Certificates then outstanding.


 


(m)            Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Master Servicer’s and the Special Servicer’s obligations and responsibilities hereunder and the Master Servicer’s and the Special Servicer’s authority with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan are limited by, and subject to, the terms of the related 



-144-










Intercreditor Agreement.  The Master Servicer (or, if a Serviced Whole Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer) shall use reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to obtain the benefits of the rights of the Trust (as holder of the related Serviced Mortgage Loan) under the related Intercreditor Agreement.  In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the related Intercreditor Agreement, the provisions of the related Intercreditor Agreement shall control.


 


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


 


(o)            The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the servicing and administration of a Trust Subordinate Companion Loan shall continue hereunder by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer even if the related Trust AB Mortgage Loan is no longer part of the Trust Fund.  The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that at any time a Trust AB Mortgage Loan is no longer an asset of the Trust, the Master Servicer and Special Servicer shall have no obligation to service such Mortgage Loan or the related Mortgaged Property and shall service only the related Trust Subordinate Companion Loan pursuant to this Agreement, subject to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement with respect to any obligation to service and administer such Mortgage Loan or the related Mortgaged Property on an interim or temporary basis (taking into account such Mortgage Loan or related Mortgaged Property is no longer in the Trust Fund and therefore not subject to any Advancing under the terms of this Agreement) while a successor servicing agreement is executed.  In such case, in determining whether to incur and/or make, as applicable, any costs, expenses or liabilities with respect to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan or follow any request from the Subordinate Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder or with respect to any enforcement action or other action solely regarding the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall determine, before incurring any such costs, expenses or liability, if such amounts are available from current collections on the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan. The Master Servicer shall not make any Advances with respect to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Mortgage Loan is no longer in the Trust Fund. If such amounts are available, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall pay such amounts only from collections on the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan.  If such amounts are not available from current collections on the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, no such amounts shall be incurred unless paid by the Class [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Certificateholder.  In any event, no losses, expenses, costs, fees or other amounts related solely to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan shall be borne by the remainder of the Trust.


 


Section 3.02                          Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments.  (a)  Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans, the Companion Loans and the Trust 



-145-










Subordinate Companion Loan it is obligated to service hereunder, and shall follow such collection procedures as are consistent with this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Servicing Standard); provided that with respect to each Mortgage Loan that has an Anticipated Repayment Date, so long as the related Mortgagor is in compliance with each provision of the related Mortgage Loan documents, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not take any enforcement action with respect to the failure of the related Mortgagor to make any payment of Excess Interest, other than requests for collection, until the Maturity Date of the related Mortgage Loan or until the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan (exclusive of any portion representing accrued Excess Interest) has been paid in full); provided, further, that the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, may take action to enforce the Trust’s right to apply excess cash flow to principal in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Loan documents.  The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may in its discretion waive any Penalty Charge in connection with any delinquent payment on a Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan and Trust Subordinate Companion Loan that it is obligated to service hereunder three (3) times during any period of twenty-four (24) consecutive months with respect to any Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan and Trust Subordinate Companion Loan; provided that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may in its discretion waive any Penalty Charge in connection with any delinquent payment on a Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan and Trust Subordinate Companion Loan one additional time in such 24-month period so long as with respect to any of the foregoing waivers, no Advance or additional expense of the Trust has been incurred and remains unreimbursed to the Trust with respect to such Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan.  Any additional waivers during such 24-month period with respect to such Mortgage Loan may be made, subject to the Servicing Standard, only after the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, has, prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, given notice of a proposed waiver to the Directing Certificateholder and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder has consented to such additional waiver (provided that if the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, fails to receive a response to such notice from the Directing Certificateholder in writing within five (5) days of giving such notice, then the Directing Certificateholder shall be deemed to have consented to such proposed waiver); provided, further, that after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, may waive any Penalty Charge in accordance with the Servicing Standard without the consent of the Directing Certificateholder.


 


(b)            (i)  All amounts collected by or on behalf of the Trust in respect of a Mortgage Loan shall be applied to amounts due and owing under the Mortgage Loan documents (including for principal and accrued and unpaid interest) in accordance with the express provisions of the Mortgage Loan documents; provided, however, that absent express provisions in the related Mortgage Loan documents (including any related Intercreditor Agreement), other than with respect to the application of Liquidation Proceeds, all amounts collected by or on behalf of the Trust in respect of a Mortgage Loan in the form of payments from the related Mortgagor or Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds under the Mortgage Loan or any proceeds (other than Liquidation Proceeds) with respect to any REO Loan (exclusive of amounts payable to any applicable Companion Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement) will be applied in the following order of priority:

The preceding statements shall not, however, be construed to limit the provisions of Section 3.02(a).


 


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


 


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

Section 3.03                          Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Servicing Accounts. (a)  The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (the “Servicing Accounts”), into which all Escrow Payments shall be deposited and retained, and shall administer such Servicing Accounts in accordance with the Mortgage Loan documents and, if applicable, the Companion Loan documents or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan documents, as the case may be.  Any Servicing Account related to a Serviced Whole Loan or Trust AB Whole Loan, as the case may be, shall be held for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the related Serviced Companion Noteholder (including, in the case of the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, the Holders of the Class [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Certificates) collectively, but this shall not be construed to modify respective interests of either noteholder therein as set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement.  Amounts on deposit in Servicing Accounts may only be invested in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents, Companion Loan documents and Trust Subordinate Companion Loan documents, as applicable, or in Permitted Investments in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.06.  Servicing Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts to the extent permitted by the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents.  Withdrawals of amounts so deposited from a Servicing Account may be made only to: (i) effect payment of items for which Escrow Payments were collected and comparable items; (ii) reimburse the Trustee and then the Master Servicer, if applicable, for any Servicing Advances; (iii) refund to Mortgagors any sums as may be determined to be overages; (iv) pay interest to Mortgagors on balances in the Servicing Account, if required by applicable law or the terms of the related Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and as described below or, if not so required, to the Master Servicer; (v) after the occurrence of an event of default under the related Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, apply amounts to the indebtedness under the applicable Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan; (vi) withdraw amounts deposited in error; (vii) pay Penalty Charges to the extent permitted by the related Mortgage Loan documents; or (viii) clear and terminate the Servicing Account at the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.01.  As part of its servicing duties, the Master Servicer shall pay or cause to be paid to the Mortgagors interest on funds in Servicing Accounts, to the extent required by law or the terms of the related Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan; provided, however, that in no event shall the Master Servicer be required to remit to any Mortgagor any amounts in excess of actual net investment income or funds in the related Servicing Account.  If allowed by the related Mortgage Loan documents and applicable law, the Master Servicer may charge the related Mortgagor an administrative fee for maintenance of the Servicing Accounts.


 


(b)            The Special Servicer, in the case of REO Loans (other than any REO Loan succeeding a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), and the Master Servicer, in the case of all other Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), each Serviced Companion Loan and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, shall maintain accurate records with respect to each related Mortgaged Property reflecting the status of real estate taxes, assessments and other similar items that are or may become a lien thereon and the status of insurance premiums and any ground rents payable in respect thereof.  The Special Servicer, in the case of REO Loans (other than any REO Loan succeeding a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), and the Master Servicer, in the case of all other Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), each Serviced Companion Loan and Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, shall use reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of 



-151-










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


 


(c)            In accordance with the Servicing Standard and for each Mortgage Loan  (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) and each Serviced Whole Loan and Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, as applicable, the Master Servicer shall advance all such funds as are necessary for the purpose of effecting the payment of (i) real estate taxes, assessments and other similar items that are or may become a lien thereon, (ii) ground rents (if applicable) and (iii) premiums on Insurance Policies, in each instance if and to the extent Escrow Payments collected from the related Mortgagor (or related REO Revenues, if applicable) are insufficient to pay such item when due and the related Mortgagor has failed to pay such item on a timely basis, and provided, however, that the particular advance would not, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance and provided, further, however, that with respect to the payment of taxes and assessments, the Master Servicer shall not be required to make such advance until the later of five (5) Business Days after the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as the case may be, has received confirmation that such item has not been paid or the date prior to the date after which any penalty or interest would accrue in respect of such taxes or assessments.  The Special Servicer shall give the Master Servicer and the Trustee no less than five (5) Business Days’ written (facsimile or electronic) notice before the date on which the Master Servicer is requested to make any Servicing Advance with respect to a given Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property; provided, however, that only two (2) Business Days’ written (facsimile or electronic) notice shall be required in respect of Servicing Advances required to be made on an emergency or urgent basis provided, further, that the Special Servicer shall not be entitled to make such a request (other than for Servicing Advances required to be made on an urgent or emergency basis) more frequently than once per calendar month (although such request may relate to more than one Servicing Advance).  The Master Servicer may pay the aggregate amount of such Servicing Advances 



-152-










listed on a monthly request to the Special Servicer, in which case the Special Servicer shall remit such Servicing Advances to the ultimate payees.  The Special Servicer shall have no obligation to make any Servicing Advances; provided, that in an urgent or emergency situation requiring the making of a Servicing Advance, the Special Servicer may make a Servicing Advance.  Within five (5) Business Days of making such a Servicing Advance, the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Master Servicer request for reimbursement for such Servicing Advance, along with all information and documentation in the Special Servicer’s possession regarding the subject Servicing Advance as the Master Servicer may reasonably request, and the Master Servicer shall be obligated, out of such Master Servicer’s own funds, to reimburse the Special Servicer for any unreimbursed Servicing Advances (other than Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances) made by the Special Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof), together with interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate from the date made to, but not including, the date of reimbursement. Such reimbursement and any accompanying payment of interest shall be made within five (5) Business Days of the written request therefor pursuant to the preceding sentence by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Special Servicer. Upon the Master Servicer’s reimbursement to the Special Servicer of any Servicing Advance and payment to the Special Servicer of interest thereon, all in accordance with this Section 3.03, the Master Servicer shall for all purposes of this Agreement be deemed to have made such Servicing Advance at the same time as the Special Servicer actually made such Servicing Advance, and accordingly, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such Servicing Advance, together with interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate, at the same time, in the same manner and to the same extent as the Master Servicer would otherwise have been entitled if it had actually made such Servicing Advance at the time the Special Servicer did. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.03, the Master Servicer shall not be required to reimburse the Special Servicer for any such Servicing Advance if the Master Servicer determines in its reasonable judgment that such Servicing Advance, although not characterized by the Special Servicer as a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, is in fact a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. The Master Servicer shall notify the Special Servicer in writing of such determination and, if applicable, such Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance shall be reimbursed to the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.05 of this Agreement.


 


Any request by the Special Servicer that the Master Servicer make a Servicing Advance shall be deemed to be a determination by the Special Servicer that such requested Servicing Advance is not a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such determination, provided that the determination shall not be binding on the Master Servicer or Trustee.  On the first Business Day after the Determination Date for the related Distribution Date, the Special Servicer shall report to the Master Servicer if the Special Servicer determines any Servicing Advance previously made by the Master Servicer with respect to a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Loan is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance.  The Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such a determination, but such determination shall not be binding upon the Master Servicer, and shall in no way limit the ability of the Master Servicer in the absence of such determination to make its own determination that any Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance.  If the Special Servicer makes a determination that only a portion of, and not all of, any previously made or proposed Servicing Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Master Servicer shall have the right to make its own subsequent determination that any remaining portion of any such previously made or proposed Servicing Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance. All such Advances shall be reimbursable in 



-153-










the first instance from related collections from the Mortgagors and further as provided in Section 3.05(a).  No costs incurred by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in effecting the payment of real estate taxes, assessments and, if applicable, ground rents on or in respect of the Mortgaged Properties shall, for purposes hereof, including, without limitation, the Certificate Administrator’s calculation of monthly distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid principal balances of the related Mortgage Loans, any related Serviced Companion Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, if applicable, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loans, related Serviced Companion Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, if applicable, so permit.  If the Master Servicer fails to make any required Servicing Advance as and when due (including any applicable cure periods), to the extent the Trustee has actual knowledge of such failure, the Trustee shall make such Servicing Advance pursuant to Section 7.05.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Servicing Advance shall be required hereunder if such Servicing Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance.  In addition, the Master Servicer shall consider Unliquidated Advances in respect of prior Servicing Advances for purposes of nonrecoverability determinations.  The Special Servicer shall have no obligation to make any Servicing Advances under this Agreement.


 


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


 


Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.03(c), the Master Servicer may in its good faith judgment elect (but shall not be required unless directed by the Special Servicer with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Loans) to make a payment from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account (or any Companion Distribution Account maintained as a subaccount thereof by a Companion Paying Agent, if applicable) (which shall be deemed first made from amounts distributable as principal and then from all other amounts comprising general collections) to pay for certain expenses set forth below notwithstanding that the Master Servicer (or Special Servicer, as applicable) has determined that a Servicing Advance with respect to such expenditure would be a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance (unless, with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans or REO Loans, the Special Servicer has notified the Master Servicer to not make such expenditure), where making such expenditure would prevent (i) the related Mortgaged Property from being uninsured or being sold at a tax sale or (ii) any event that would cause a loss of the priority of the lien of the related Mortgage, or the loss of any security for the related Mortgage Loan, Trust Subordinate Companion Loan or Serviced Companion Loan; provided that in each instance, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard (as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee) that making such expenditure is in the best interest of the Certificateholders (including, in the case of the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, the Holders of the Class [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Certificates) (and, if applicable, the Companion Holders), all as a collective whole (taking into account the subordinate or pari passu nature of any Companion Loans or Trust Subordinate 



-154-










 


Companion Loan, as the case may be).  The Master Servicer or Trustee may elect to obtain reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances from the Trust pursuant to the terms of Section 3.17(c).  The parties acknowledge that pursuant to the applicable Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement, the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer is obligated to make servicing advances with respect to the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan.  The applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan (with, in each case, any accrued and unpaid interest thereon provided for under the applicable Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement) in the manner set forth in the applicable Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement and the applicable Non-Serviced Intercreditor Agreement.


 


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


 


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

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


 


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


 


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


 


Upon receipt of any of the foregoing amounts in clauses (i) through (iv) above with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, the Special Servicer shall remit within one (1) Business Day such amounts to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account, in accordance with this Section 3.04(a).  Any such amounts received by the Special Servicer with respect to an REO Property shall be deposited by the Special Servicer into the REO Account and remitted to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account, pursuant to Section 3.14(c).

Funds in the Collection Account may only be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.06.

The Master Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Depositor of the new location of the Collection Account prior to any change thereof.


 


For purposes of determining amounts to be deposited in the Collection Account in respect of the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and the Trust AB Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall determine the allocation of such amounts in accordance with the related 



-157-










Intercreditor Agreement.  All amounts so allocable to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan shall be held separate and apart from other amounts deposited in the Collection Account (or in a subaccount of the Collection Account) and may be withdrawn from the Collection Account (pursuant to Section 3.04 and otherwise) only to the extent set forth in this Agreement and not specifically prohibited under the related Intercreditor Agreement.


 


(b)            The Certificate Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, shall establish and maintain (i) the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account and the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders (other than the [LOAN-SPECIFIC] and Class [ARD] Certificateholders), (provided that any Gain-on-Sale Proceeds with respect to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan shall be deemed distributed by the [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Trust Subordinate Companion Loan REMIC in respect of the [LOAN-SPECIFIC]-R Interest to the Holders of the Class [R] Certificates and then re-contributed in respect of the Class LR Interest and held by the Certificate Administrator as an asset of the Lower-Tier REMIC for the benefit of the Trustee as Holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and the Certificateholders), (ii) the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account for the benefit of the Certificateholders [LOAN-SPECIFIC] and Class [ARD] Certificateholders) and the Trustee as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests, (iii) the Excess Interest Distribution Account for the benefit of the Class [ARD] Certificateholders, (iv) the Class [EC] Distribution Account for the benefit of the Class [EC] Certificateholders and (v) the [LOAN-SPECIFIC] REMIC Distribution Account for the benefit of the Class [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Certificateholders.

If, as of the close of business (New York City time) on any P&I Advance Date or on such other date as any amount referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) through (v) or any Excess Interest are required to be delivered hereunder, the Master Servicer shall not have delivered to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account or the [LOAN-SPECIFIC] REMIC Distribution Account (in respect of the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan), as applicable, the amounts required to be deposited therein pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement (including any P&I Advance with respect to the Mortgage Loans, pursuant to Section 4.03(a) hereof), the Master Servicer shall pay the Certificate Administrator interest on such late payment at the Prime Rate from and including the date such payment was required to be made (without regard to any Grace Period set forth in Section 7.01(a)(i)) until (but not including) the date such late payment is received by the Certificate Administrator.

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


 


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


 


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


 


(b)            Interest and investment income realized on funds deposited in the Collection Account, the Companion Distribution Account or any Servicing Account maintained 



-176-










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


 


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


 


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



-177-










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



-178-










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


 


Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Serviced Companion Loan that either (x) require 



-179-










the Mortgagor to maintain “all risk” property insurance (and do not expressly permit an exclusion for terrorism) or (y) contain provisions generally requiring the applicable Mortgagor to maintain insurance in types and against such risks as the holder of such Mortgage Loan (including any related Trust Subordinate Companion Loan or Serviced Companion Loan) reasonably requires from time to time in order to protect its interests, the Master Servicer will be required to, consistent with the Servicing Standard, (A) monitor in accordance with the Servicing Standard whether the insurance policies for the related Mortgaged Property contain Additional Exclusions, (B) request the Mortgagor to either purchase insurance against the risks specified in the Additional Exclusions or provide an explanation as to its reasons for failing to purchase such insurance and (C) notify the Special Servicer if it has knowledge that any insurance policy contains Additional Exclusions or if it has knowledge (such knowledge to be based upon the Master Servicer’s compliance with the immediately preceding clauses (A) and (B) above) that any Mortgagor fails to purchase the insurance requested to be purchased by the Master Servicer pursuant to clause (B) above.  If the Special Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such failure is not an Acceptable Insurance Default, the Special Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer and the Master Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause such insurance to be maintained.  The Special Servicer (at the expense of the Trust) shall be entitled to rely on insurance consultants in making such determinations.  The Master Servicer shall be entitled to rely on insurance consultants (at the expense of such Master Servicer) in determining whether Additional Exclusions exist.  Furthermore, the Special Servicer shall promptly deliver such conclusions in writing to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website for those Mortgage Loans that (i) have one of the ten (10) highest outstanding Stated Principal Balances of all of the Mortgage Loans then included in the Trust or (ii) comprise more than 5% of the outstanding Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans then included in the Trust.  During the period that the Special Servicer is evaluating the availability of such insurance or waiting for a response from the Directing Certificateholder, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be liable for any loss related to its failure to require the Mortgagor to maintain such insurance and will not be in default of its obligations as a result of such failure unless the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is required to take any immediate action pursuant to the Servicing Standard or other servicing requirements of this Agreement and the Master Servicer will not itself maintain such insurance or cause such insurance to be maintained.


 


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

amount of such loss or losses that would have been covered under the individual policy but are not covered under the blanket Insurance Policy because of such deductible clause to the extent that any such deductible exceeds the deductible limitation that pertained to the related Mortgage Loan (including any related Trust Subordinate Companion Loan or Serviced Companion Loan), or in the absence of such deductible limitation, the deductible limitation which is consistent with the Servicing Standard.  In connection with its activities as administrator and Master Servicer of the Mortgage Loans, Trust Subordinate Companion Loan or any Serviced Companion Loans, the Master Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and Certificateholders, claims under any such blanket Insurance Policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy.  The Special Servicer, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard, may maintain, earthquake insurance on REO Properties (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property), provided coverage is available at commercially reasonable rates, the cost of which shall be a Servicing Advance.


 


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


 


(c)            Each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, [the Operating Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer] shall obtain and maintain at its own expense and keep in full force and effect throughout the term of this Agreement a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions Insurance Policy with a Qualified Insurer covering the Master Servicer’s and the Special Servicer’s, as applicable, officers and employees acting on behalf of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer in connection with its activities under this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the long-term debt or the deposit obligations or claims-paying ability of the Master Servicer (or its immediate or remote parent), the Special 



-181-










Servicer (or its immediate or remote parent), [the Operating Advisor (or its immediate or remote parent) or the Asset Representations Reviewer (or its immediate or remote parent)], as applicable, is rated at least “[___]” by [_____], the Master Servicer (or its public parent), [the Operating Advisor (or its public parent) or the Asset Representations Reviewer (or its public parent)], the Special Servicer (or its public parent), as applicable, shall be allowed to provide self-insurance with respect to a fidelity bond and an “errors and omissions” Insurance Policy. Such amount of coverage shall be in such form and amount as are consistent with the Servicing Standard.  Coverage of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer under a policy or bond obtained by an Affiliate of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer and providing the coverage required by this Section 3.07(c) shall satisfy the requirements of this Section 3.07(c).  The Special Servicer and the Master Servicer will promptly report in writing to the Trustee any material changes that may occur in their respective fidelity bonds, if any, and/or their respective errors and omissions Insurance Policies, as the case may be, and will furnish to the Trustee copies of all binders and policies or certificates evidencing that such bonds, if any, and insurance policies are in full force and effect.


 


(d)            At the time the Master Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that any Mortgaged Property (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) is in a federally designated special flood hazard area (and such flood insurance has been made available), the Master Servicer will use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the related Mortgagor (in accordance with applicable law and the terms of the Mortgage Loan, Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and related Serviced Companion Loan documents) to maintain, and, if the related Mortgagor shall default in its obligation to so maintain, shall itself maintain to the extent available at commercially reasonable rates (as determined by the Master Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard and to the extent the Trustee, as mortgagee, has an insurable interest therein), flood insurance in respect thereof, but only to the extent the related Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or related Serviced Companion Loan permits the mortgagee to require such coverage and the maintenance of such coverage is consistent with the Servicing Standard.  Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan (and any related Serviced Companion Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, if applicable), and (ii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, plus such additional excess flood coverage with respect to the Mortgaged Property, if any, in an amount consistent with the Servicing Standard.  If the cost of any insurance described above is not borne by the Mortgagor, the Master Servicer shall promptly make a Servicing Advance for such costs.


 


(e)            During all such times as any REO Property (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) shall be located in a federally designated special flood hazard area, the Special Servicer will cause to be maintained, to the extent available at commercially reasonable rates (as determined by the Special Servicer (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder) in accordance with the Servicing Standard), a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration in an amount representing coverage not less than the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended.  The cost of any such flood insurance with respect to an REO Property shall be an expense of the Trust payable out of the related REO

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

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


 


then, for so long as such Mortgage Loan or related Serviced Companion Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan is being serviced under this Agreement, the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, shall (a) exercise any right it may have with respect to such Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan (x) to accelerate the payments thereon or (y) to withhold its consent to any sale or transfer, consistent with the Servicing Standard or (b) waive any right to exercise such rights, provided that, (i) with respect to all Mortgage Loans or the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, the Special Servicer, prior to itself taking such an action, shall obtain prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the prior written consent (or deemed consent) of the Directing Certificateholder (or, with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan or Trust AB Whole Loan, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a related AB Control Appraisal Period, the holder of the related AB Subordinate Companion Loan or the related Subordinate Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder, to the extent required under the Intercreditor Agreement) (or after the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, but prior to a Consultation Termination Event, upon consultation with the Directing Certificateholder pursuant to Section 6.08(a) hereof, which consent shall be deemed given ten (10) Business Days after receipt (unless earlier objected to by the Directing Certificateholder) of the Special Servicer’s written analysis and recommendation with respect to such waiver together with such other information reasonably required by the Directing Certificateholder (or, with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan or Trust AB Whole Loan, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a related AB Control Appraisal Period, the holder of the related AB Subordinate Companion Loan or the related Subordinate Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder, to the extent required under the Intercreditor Agreement), and (ii) with respect to any Mortgage Loan (x) with a Stated Principal Balance greater than or equal to $20,000,000, (y) with a Stated Principal Balance greater than or equal to 5% of the aggregated Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans then outstanding or (z) together with all other Mortgage Loans with which it is cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted or together with all other Mortgage Loans with the same Mortgagor (or an affiliate thereof), that is one of the ten largest Mortgage Loans outstanding (by Stated Principal Balance), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, prior to consenting to any action, shall obtain, a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and a confirmation of any

applicable rating agency that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities (if any) (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25), provided, however, that with respect to subclauses (y) and (z) of this subclause (ii), such Mortgage Loan shall also have a Stated Principal Balance of at least $10,000,000 for such Rating Agency Confirmation requirement to apply.


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


then, for so long as such Mortgage Loan (and related Trust Subordinate Companion Loan or Companion Loan, if applicable) is serviced under this Agreement, the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, shall (a) exercise any right 



-184-










it may have with respect to such Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan (x) to accelerate the payments thereon or (y) to withhold its consent to the creation of any additional lien or other encumbrance, consistent with the Servicing Standard or (b) waive its right to exercise such rights, provided that (i)  the Special Servicer has obtained prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the prior written consent (or deemed consent) of the Directing Certificateholder (or, with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan or Trust AB Whole Loan, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a related AB Control Appraisal Period, the holder of the related AB Subordinate Companion Loan or the related Subordinate Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder, to the extent required under the Intercreditor Agreement), which consent shall be deemed given ten (10) Business Days after receipt by the Directing Certificateholder of the Special Servicer’s written analysis and recommendation with respect to such waiver or exercise of such rights together with such other information reasonably required by the Directing Certificateholder (or, with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan or Trust AB Whole Loan, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a related AB Control Appraisal Period, the holder of the related AB Subordinate Companion Loan or the related Subordinate Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder, to the extent required under the Intercreditor Agreement), and (ii) the Special Servicer has obtained Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and a confirmation of any applicable rating agency that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities (if any) (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25) if such Mortgage Loan (A) has an outstanding principal balance that is greater than or equal to 2% of the Stated Principal Balance of the outstanding Mortgage Loans or (B) has an LTV Ratio greater than 85% (including any existing and proposed debt) or (C) has a Debt Service Coverage Ratio less than 1.20x (in each case, determined based upon the aggregate of the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan and related Trust Subordinate Companion Loan or Companion Loan, if any, and the principal amount of the proposed additional lien) or (D) is one of the ten largest Mortgage Loans (by Stated Principal Balance) or (E) has a Stated Principal Balance greater than $20,000,000; provided, however, that with respect to subclauses (A), (B), (C) and (D) of this subclause (ii), such Mortgage Loan shall also have a Stated Principal Balance of at least $10,000,000 for such Rating Agency Confirmation requirement to apply.

To the extent permitted by the related Mortgage Loan documents, the Rating Agency Confirmation described in the immediately preceding paragraph or in Section 3.08(a) shall be an expense of the related Mortgagor; provided that if the Mortgage Loan documents are silent as to who bears the costs of obtaining any such Rating Agency Confirmation, the Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to make the related Mortgagor bear such costs and expenses.  Unless determined to be a Nonrecoverable Advance such costs not collected from the related Mortgagor shall be advanced as a Servicing Advance.



-185-










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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


(f)            Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.08, if the Special Servicer makes a determination under Sections 3.08(a) or 3.08(b) hereof that the applicable conditions in the related Mortgage Loan, Trust Subordinate Companion Loan or 



-186-










Companion Loan documents, as applicable, with respect to assumptions or encumbrances permitted without the consent of the mortgagee have been satisfied, the applicable assumptions and transfers may be subject to an assumption or other fee, unless such fees are otherwise prohibited pursuant to the Mortgage Loan documents; provided that any such fee not provided for in the Mortgage Loan documents does not constitute a “significant” change in yield pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.1001-3(e)(2).


 


Section 3.09                          Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans, Companion Loans and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan.  (a)  Upon an event of default under the Mortgage Loan documents related to a Serviced Whole Loan, Trust AB Whole Loan or a Mortgage Loan with mezzanine debt, the Master Servicer shall promptly provide written notice to the related Companion Holder (or the related Subordinate Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder, with respect to the Trust AB Whole Loan) or mezzanine lender, as applicable, with a copy of such notice to the Special Servicer.  The Special Servicer shall, subject to subsections (b) through (d) of this Section 3.09, Section 3.24, subject to the Directing Certificateholders’ rights pursuant to Section 6.08, and any Companion Holder, Subordinate Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder or mezzanine lender’s rights under the related Intercreditor Agreement (in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, on behalf of the holders of the beneficial interest of the related Companion Loan) or this Agreement, exercise reasonable efforts, consistent with the Servicing Standard, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert (which may include an REO Acquisition) the ownership of property securing any such Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and related Trust Subordinate Companion Loan or Companion Loan, if any, as come into and continue in default as to which no satisfactory arrangements (including by way of a discounted pay-off) can be made for collection of delinquent payments, and which are not released from the Trust Fund pursuant to any other provision hereof.  The foregoing is subject to the provision that, in any case in which a Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage from an Uninsured Cause, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall not be required to make a Servicing Advance and expend funds toward the restoration of such property unless the Special Servicer has determined in its reasonable discretion that such restoration will increase the net proceeds of liquidation of such Mortgaged Property to Certificateholders after reimbursement to the Master Servicer for such Servicing Advance, and the Master Servicer or Special Servicer has not determined that such Servicing Advance together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.  The costs and expenses incurred by the Special Servicer in any such proceedings shall be advanced by the Master Servicer; provided that, in each case, such cost or expense would not, if incurred, constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance.  Nothing contained in this Section 3.09 shall be construed so as to require the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust, to make a bid on any Mortgaged Property at a foreclosure sale or similar proceeding that is in excess of the fair market value of such property, as determined by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in its reasonable judgment taking into account the factors described in Section 3.16(b) and the results of any Appraisal obtained pursuant to the following sentence, all such bids to be made in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard.  If and when the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer deems it necessary and prudent for purposes of establishing the fair market value of any Mortgaged Property securing a Defaulted Mortgage Loan or any related defaulted Trust Subordinate Companion Loan or Companion Loan, whether for purposes of bidding at foreclosure or otherwise, the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, is authorized to have an Appraisal performed with respect to such property by an Independent 



-187-










MAI-designated appraiser the cost of which shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance.


 


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


 


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


 


(ii) the Special Servicer shall have obtained an Opinion of Counsel (the cost of which shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance) to the effect that the holding of such personal property by the Trust (to the extent not allocable to the related Companion Loan) will not cause the imposition of a tax on any Trust REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Lower-Tier Regular Interest or Certificate is outstanding.


 


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


 


(i) such Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable environmental laws or, if not, after consultation with an environmental consultant, that it would be in the best economic interest of the Certificateholders (and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holders), as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, Companion Holders constituted a single lender, to take such actions as are necessary to bring such Mortgaged Property in compliance with such laws, and


 


(ii) there are no circumstances present at such Mortgaged Property relating to the use, management or disposal of any hazardous materials for which investigation, testing, monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation could be required under any currently effective federal, state or local law or regulation, or that, if any such hazardous materials are present for which such action could be required, after consultation with an environmental consultant, it would be in the best economic interest of the Certificateholders (and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the Companion Holders), as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, Companion Holders constituted a single lender, to take such actions with respect to the affected Mortgaged Property.



-188-










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


 


(d)            If (i) the environmental testing contemplated by subsection (c) above establishes that either of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of subsection (c) above of the first sentence thereof has not been satisfied with respect to any Mortgaged Property securing a Defaulted Mortgage Loan and, in the case of a Serviced Mortgage Loan or a Trust AB Mortgage Loan, any related Companion Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, and (ii) there has been no breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in or required to be made pursuant to Section 5 of each of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements for which the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller could be required to repurchase such Defaulted Mortgage Loan or defaulted Trust Subordinate Companion Loan pursuant to Section 5 of the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, then the Special Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Trust (other than proceeding to acquire title to the Mortgaged Property) and is hereby authorized (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event (or with respect to any AB Mortgage Loan or Trust AB Whole Loan, after the occurrence and during the continuation of an AB Control Appraisal Period, but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event)), with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder at such time as it deems appropriate to release such Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage, provided that, if such Mortgage Loan has a then-outstanding principal balance of greater than $1,000,000, then prior to the release of the related Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage, (i) the Special Servicer shall have notified the Rating Agencies, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and (prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event) the Directing Certificateholder, in writing of its intention to so release such Mortgaged Property and the bases for such intention, (ii) the Certificate Administrator shall have posted such notice of the Special Servicer’s intention to so release such Mortgaged Property to the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to 



-189-










Section 3.13(b) and (iii) in addition to the prior written consent of the Directing Certificateholder as required above, the Holders of Certificates entitled to a majority of the Voting Rights shall have consented or have been deemed to have consented to such release within thirty (30) days of the Certificate Administrator’s posting such notice to the Certificate Administrator’s Website (failure to respond by the end of such 30-day period being deemed consent of the Holders of the Certificates).  To the extent any fee charged by any Rating Agency in connection with rendering such written confirmation is not paid by the related Mortgagor, such fee is to be an expense of the Trust; provided that the Special Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect such fee from the Mortgagor to the extent permitted under the related Mortgage Loan documents.


 


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


 


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


 


(g)            The Special Servicer shall have the right to determine, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, the advisability of the maintenance of an action to obtain a deficiency judgment if the state in which the Mortgaged Property is located and the terms of the Mortgage Loan (and if applicable, the related Trust Subordinate Companion Loan or Companion Loan) permit such an action.


 


(h)            The Special Servicer shall maintain accurate records, prepared by one of its Servicing Officers, of each Final Recovery Determination in respect of a Defaulted Mortgage Loan (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or defaulted Companion Loan or defaulted Trust Subordinate Companion Loan or any REO Property (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) and the basis thereof.  Each Final Recovery Determination shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate promptly delivered to the Trustee, the Certificate

(a)  Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), or the receipt by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, of a notification that payment in full shall be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, will promptly notify the Trustee and the Custodian and request delivery of the related Mortgage File.  Any such notice and request shall be in the form of a Request for Release signed by a Servicing Officer and shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.04(a) or remitted to the Master Servicer to enable such deposit, have been or will be so deposited.  Within seven (7) Business Days (or within such shorter period as release can reasonably be accomplished if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer notifies the Custodian of an exigency) of receipt of such notice and request, the Custodian shall release the related Mortgage File to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be; provided that in the case of the payment in full of a Trust Subordinate Companion Loan or a Serviced Companion Loan or its related Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage File shall not be released by the Custodian unless the related Serviced Whole Loan or Trust AB Whole Loan, as applicable, is paid in full.  No expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Collection Account.


 


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


 


(c)            Within seven (7) Business Days (or within such shorter period as delivery can reasonably be accomplished if the Special Servicer notifies the Trustee of an exigency) of receipt thereof, the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Special Servicer any court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or other documents necessary to the foreclosure or trustee’s sale in respect of a Mortgaged Property or to any legal action brought to obtain judgment against any 



-191-










Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note (including any note evidencing a related Companion Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, as applicable) or Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in equity.  The Special Servicer shall be responsible for the preparation of all such documents and pleadings.  When submitted to the Trustee for signature, such documents or pleadings shall be accompanied by a certificate of a Servicing Officer requesting that such pleadings or documents be executed by the Trustee and certifying as to the reason such documents or pleadings are required and that the execution and delivery thereof by the Trustee will not invalidate or otherwise affect the lien of the Mortgage, except for the termination of such a lien upon completion of the foreclosure or trustee’s sale.  The Trustee shall not be required to review such documents for their sufficiency or enforceability.


 


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


 


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



-192-










paragraph of this Section 3.11(a), Section 6.03, Section 6.05 and Section 7.01(c), the right to receive the Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part (except in connection with a transfer of all of the Master Servicer’s duties and obligations hereunder to a successor servicer in accordance with the terms hereof).  With respect to each Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, the Servicing Fee shall be payable to the Master Servicer from amounts payable in respect of such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, subject to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement.


 


The Master Servicer shall be entitled to retain, and shall not be required to deposit in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.04(a), additional servicing compensation (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) in the form of the following amounts to the extent collected from the related Mortgagor:  (i) [___]% of Excess Modification Fees related to any modifications, waivers, extensions or amendments of any Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans (including any related Serviced Companion Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, as applicable, to the extent not prohibited by the related Intercreditor Agreement); provided that with respect to such transactions, the consent of, and/or processing by, the Special Servicer is not required to take such action and, in the event that the Special Servicer’s consent and/or processing is required, then the Master Servicer shall be entitled to 50% of such fees, (ii) [___]% of all assumption application fees received on Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans (including any related Serviced Companion Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, to the extent not prohibited by the related Intercreditor Agreement) (whether or not the consent of the Special Servicer is required) and 100% of all defeasance fees; (iii) [___]% of assumption, waiver, consent and earnout fees, and other processing fees pursuant to Section 3.08 and Section 3.18 or other actions performed in connection with this Agreement on the Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans (including any related Serviced Companion Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, as applicable, to the extent not prohibited by the related Intercreditor Agreement), provided the consent of the Special Servicer is not required to take such actions and (iv) [___]% of all assumption, waiver, consent and earnout fees, and other processing fees (other than assumption application and defeasance fees), pursuant to Section 3.08 and Section 3.18 on any Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (including any related Serviced Companion Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, as applicable, to the extent not prohibited by the related Intercreditor Agreement) for which the Special Servicer’s processing, consent or approval is required and only to the extent that all amounts then due and payable with respect to the related Mortgage Loan have been paid.  In addition, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to retain as additional servicing compensation (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) any charges for processing Mortgagor requests, beneficiary statements or demands, fees in connection with defeasance, if any, and other customary charges, and amounts collected for checks returned for insufficient funds, in each case only to the extent actually paid by the related Mortgagor and shall not be required to deposit such amounts in the Collection Account or the Companion Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.04(a) or Section 3.04(b), respectively.  Subject to Section 3.11(d), the Master Servicer shall also be entitled to additional servicing compensation in the form of:  (i) Penalty Charges to the extent provided in Section 3.11(d), (ii) interest or other income earned on deposits relating to the Trust Fund in the Collection Account or the Companion Distribution Account in accordance with Section 3.06(b) (but only to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings, if any, with respect to such account for the period from and including the prior Distribution Date to and including the P&I Advance Date related to the current Distribution Date), (iii) interest or other income earned on deposits in the Servicing 



-193-










Account which are not required by applicable law or the related Mortgage Loan to be paid to the Mortgagor, (iv) the difference, if positive, between Prepayment Interest Excess and Prepayment Interest Shortfalls collected on the Mortgage Loans and any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, during the related Collection Period to the extent not required to be paid as Compensating Interest Payments and (v) all Prepayment Interest Excesses collected on each Trust Subordinate Companion Loan during the related Collection Period to the extent not required to be paid as Compensating Interest Payments.  The Master Servicer shall be required to pay out of its own funds all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder (including, without limitation, payment of any amounts due and owing to any of its Sub-Servicers and the premiums for any blanket Insurance Policy insuring against hazard losses pursuant to Section 3.07), if and to the extent such expenses are not payable directly out of the Collection Account and the Master Servicer shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as expressly provided in this Agreement.


 


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


 


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



-194-










(c)            Additional servicing compensation in the form of (i) [___]% of all Excess Modification Fees related to modifications, waivers, extensions or amendments of any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, (ii) [___]% of all assumption application fees and assumption fees and other related fees received on any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, (iii) [___]% of waiver, consent and earnout fees, pursuant to Section 3.08 and Section 3.18 or other actions performed in connection with this Agreement on the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans or certain other similar fees paid by the related Mortgagor and (iv) [___]% of all Excess Modification Fees and assumption and consent fees pursuant to Section 3.08 or Section 3.18 and [___]% of all earnout fees received with respect to all Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans (including any related Serviced Companion Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, to the extent not prohibited by the related Intercreditor Agreement) and, in all cases, for which the Special Servicer’s processing, consent or approval is required, shall be promptly paid to the Special Servicer by the Master Servicer (or directly from the related Mortgagor) to the extent such fees are paid by the Mortgagor and shall not be required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.04(a). Subject to Section 3.11(d), the Special Servicer shall also be entitled to additional servicing compensation in the form of:  (i) Penalty Charges to the extent provided in Section 3.11(d) and (ii) interest or other income earned on deposits relating to the Trust Fund in the REO Account in accordance with Section 3.06(b) (but only to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings, if any, with respect to such account for the period from and including the prior Distribution Date to and including the P&I Advance Date related to such Distribution Date).  The Special Servicer shall also be entitled to additional servicing compensation in the form of a Workout Fee with respect to each Corrected Loan at the Workout Fee Rate on such Corrected Loan for so long as it remains a Corrected Loan; provided, however, that after receipt by the Special Servicer of Workout Fees with respect to such Corrected Loan in an amount equal to $[_____], any Workout Fees in excess of such amount shall be reduced by the Excess Modification Fee Amount; provided, further, however, that in the event the Workout Fee collected over the course of such workout calculated at the Workout Fee Rate is less than $[_____], then the Special Servicer shall be entitled to an amount from the final payment on the related Corrected Loan (including any related Serviced Companion Loan) that would result in the total Workout Fees payable to the Special Servicer in respect of that Corrected Loan (including any related Serviced Companion Loan) to be $[_____].  The Workout Fee shall be reduced (but not below zero) pursuant to the preceding sentence with respect to each collection on such Corrected Loan from which fee would otherwise be payable until an amount equal to such Excess Modification Fee Amount has been deducted in full.  The Workout Fee with respect to any Corrected Loan will cease to be payable if such loan again becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan; provided that a new Workout Fee will become payable if and when such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan again becomes a Corrected Loan.  The Special Servicer shall not be entitled to any Workout Fee with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan.  If the Special Servicer is terminated (other than for cause) or resigns, it shall retain the right to receive any and all Workout Fees payable in respect of Mortgage Loans or any related Companion Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan that became Corrected Loans prior to the time of that termination or resignation except the Workout Fees will no longer be payable if the Corrected Loan subsequently becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan.  If the Special Servicer resigns or is terminated (other than for cause), it will receive any Workout Fees payable on Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans for which the resigning or terminated Special Servicer had determined to grant a forbearance or cured the event of default through a modification, restructuring or 



-195-










workout negotiated by the Special Servicer and evidenced by a signed writing, but which had not as of the time the Special Servicer resigned or was terminated become a Corrected Loan solely because the Mortgagor had not had sufficient time to make three consecutive timely Periodic Payments and which subsequently becomes a Corrected Loan as a result of the Mortgagor making such three consecutive timely Periodic Payments.  The successor special servicer will not be entitled to any portion of such Workout Fees.  The Special Servicer will not be entitled to receive any Workout Fees after termination for cause.  A Liquidation Fee will be payable with respect to each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or REO Property (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) as to which the Special Servicer receives any Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds subject to the exceptions set forth in the definition of Liquidation Fee (such Liquidation Fee to be paid out of such Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds).  If, however, Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds are received with respect to any Corrected Loan and the Special Servicer is properly entitled to a Workout Fee, such Workout Fee will be payable based on and out of the portion of such Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds that constitute principal and/or interest on such Mortgage Loan.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Special Servicer shall only be entitled to receive a Liquidation Fee or a Workout Fee, but not both, with respect to proceeds on any Mortgage Loan.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Companion Loan, the Liquidation Fee, Workout Fee and Special Servicing Fees, if any, will be computed as provided in the related Intercreditor Agreement or to the extent such Intercreditor Agreement is silent or refers to this Agreement or indicates such fees are paid in accordance with this Agreement, as provided herein as though such Companion Loan were a Mortgage Loan.  Subject to Section 3.11(d), the Special Servicer will also be entitled to additional fees in the form of Penalty Charges.  The Special Servicer shall be required to pay out of its own funds all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder (including, without limitation, payment of any amounts, other than management fees in respect of REO Properties, due and owing to any of its Sub-Servicers and the premiums for any blanket Insurance Policy obtained by it insuring against hazard losses pursuant to Section 3.07), if and to the extent such expenses are not expressly payable directly out of the Collection Account or the REO Account, and the Special Servicer shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as expressly provided in this Agreement.


 


(d)            In determining the compensation of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, with respect to Penalty Charges, on any Distribution Date, the aggregate Penalty Charges collected on any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and any related Companion Loan since the prior Distribution Date shall be applied (in such order) to reimburse (i) the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee for interest on Advances on such Mortgage Loan, Trust Subordinate Companion Loan or related Companion Loan, if applicable (and, in connection with a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer, the applicable Non-Serviced Special Servicer or the applicable Non-Serviced Trustee for interest on the Servicing Advances made by any such party with respect to a Non-Serviced Whole Loan pursuant to the applicable Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement, to the extent not prohibited by the applicable Non-Serviced Intercreditor Agreement) due on such Distribution Date, (ii) the Trust for all interest on Advances previously paid to the Master Servicer or the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(vi) hereof (and, in connection with a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the related 



-196-










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


 


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


 


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


 


(g)            Pursuant to the CREFC® License Agreement, CREFC® shall be paid (according to the payment instructions set forth on Exhibit JJ hereto or such other payment 



-197-










instructions as CREFC® may provide to the Master Servicer in writing at least two Business Days prior to the Remittance Date) the CREFC® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee on a monthly basis. The Master Servicer shall withdraw from the Collection Account and, to the extent sufficient funds are on deposit therein, pay the CREFC® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee to CREFC® in accordance with Section 3.05(a)(xii) on a monthly basis, from funds on deposit in the Collection Account.

(a)  The Master Servicer shall perform (at its own expense), or shall cause to be performed (at its own expense), a physical inspection of each Mortgaged Property relating to a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan or a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan) with a Stated Principal Balance of (i) $[2,000,000] or more at least once every [twelve (12)] months and (ii) less than $[2,000,000] at least once every twenty-four (24) months, in each case, commencing in the calendar year 20[__] (and each Mortgaged Property shall be inspected on or prior to [DATE]); provided, however, that if a physical inspection has been performed by the Special Servicer in the previous [twelve (12)] months and the Master Servicer has no knowledge of a material change in the Mortgaged Property since such physical inspection, the Master Servicer will not be required to perform or cause to be performed, such physical inspection; provided, further, that if any scheduled payment becomes more than [sixty (60)] days delinquent on the related Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall inspect or cause to be inspected the related Mortgaged Property as soon as practicable after such Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and annually thereafter for so long as such Mortgage Loan remains a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan.  The cost of such inspection by the Special Servicer pursuant to the second proviso of the immediately preceding sentence shall be an expense of the Trust, and, to the extent not paid by the related Mortgagor, reimbursed first from Penalty Charges actually received from the related Mortgagor and then from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(ii), provided that, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan or Trust AB Whole Loan, such cost shall be payable, subject to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement (i) with respect to a Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan, pro rata and pari passu, from the related Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan and Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, in accordance with their respective Stated Principal Balances, or (ii) with respect to an AB Whole Loan or Trust AB Whole Loan, first, from the related AB Subordinate Companion Loan or from amounts available to the Trust as holder of the related Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, as applicable and then, from the AB Mortgage Loan or amounts available to the Trust as holder of the related Trust AB Mortgage Loan (provided that, with respect to any AB Subordinate Companion Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, the foregoing shall not limit or otherwise modify the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement pursuant to which any amounts collected with respect to the related Whole Loan or Trust AB Whole Loan are allocated to the related Serviced Mortgage Loan and AB Subordinate Companion Loan or the related Trust AB Mortgage Loan and Trust Subordinate Companion Loan), in each case, prior to being payable out of general collections.  The Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, shall prepare or cause to be prepared a written report of each such inspection detailing the condition of and any damage to the Mortgaged Property to the extent evident from the inspection and specifying the existence of (i) any vacancy in the Mortgaged Property that the preparer of such report has knowledge of and deems material, (ii) any sale, transfer or abandonment of the Mortgaged Property of which the preparer of such report has knowledge or that

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

(f)            Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, the failure of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer to disclose any information otherwise required to be disclosed by this Section 3.12 shall not constitute a breach of this Section 3.12 to the extent the Master Servicer or 



-201-










Special Servicer so fails because such disclosure, in the reasonable belief of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, would violate any applicable law or any provision of a Mortgage Loan document prohibiting disclosure of information with respect to the Mortgage Loans or Mortgaged Properties.  The Master Servicer and Special Servicer may disclose any such information or any additional information to any Person so long as such disclosure is consistent with applicable law and the Servicing Standard.  The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may affix to any information provided by it any disclaimer it deems appropriate in its reasonable discretion (without suggesting liability on the part of any other party hereto).


 


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


 


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


 


Section 3.13                          Access to Certain Information.  (a)  Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall provide or cause to be provided to the Certificate Administrator, and the Certificate Administrator shall afford access to any Mortgage Loan Seller and to any Certificateholder that is a federally insured financial institution, the OCC, the FDIC, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States of America and the supervisory agents and examiners of such boards and such corporations, and any other federal or state banking or insurance regulatory authority that may exercise authority over any such Certificateholder, and to each Holder of a Non-Registered Certificate, access to any documentation or information regarding the Mortgage Loans (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and, in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is a portion of a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Loan, and the Trust within its control which may be required by applicable law.  At the election of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator, such access may be afforded to such Person identified above by the delivery of copies of information as requested by such Person and the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator shall be permitted to require payment (other than from the Directing Certificateholder and the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator on its own behalf or on behalf of the Certificateholders, as applicable) of a sum sufficient to cover the reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by it in making such copies.  Such access shall (except as described in the preceding sentence) be afforded without charge but only upon reasonable prior written 



-202-










request and during normal business hours at the offices of the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian.


 


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


 


[Upon the reasonable request of any Certificateholder (or with respect to any AB Subordinate Companion Loan, the holder of such AB Subordinate Companion Loan) that has delivered an Investor Certification, the Master Servicer may provide (or forward electronically) at the expense of such Certificateholder or holder of such AB Subordinate Companion Loan, as applicable, copies of any appraisals, operating statements, rent rolls and financial statements (in each case, solely relating to the related Serviced Whole Loan or Trust AB Whole Loan, if requested by the holder of an AB Subordinate Companion Loan or a Holder of [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS] Certificates) obtained by the Master Servicer; provided that, in connection with such request, the Master Servicer may require a written confirmation executed by the requesting Person substantially in such form as may be reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer, generally to the effect that such Person will keep such information confidential and shall use such information only for the purpose of analyzing asset performance and evaluating any continuing rights the Certificateholder or holder of such AB Subordinate Companion Loan, as applicable, may have under this Agreement.

(h)            None of the foregoing restrictions in this Section 3.13 or otherwise in this Agreement shall prohibit or restrict oral or written communications, or providing information, between the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Special Servicer, on the one hand, and any Rating Agency or NRSRO, on the other hand, with regard to (i) such Rating Agency’s or NRSRO’s review of the ratings it assigns to the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, (ii) such Rating Agency’s or NRSRO’s approval of the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, as a commercial mortgage master, special or primary servicer, or (iii) such Rating Agency’s or NRSRO’s evaluation of the Master Servicer’s, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as applicable, servicing operations in general; provided, 



-211-










that the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall not provide any information relating to the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, as applicable, to any Rating Agency or NRSRO in connection with such review and evaluation by such Rating Agency or NRSRO unless (x) Mortgagor, property and other deal specific identifiers are redacted; or (y) such information has already been provided to the 17g-5 Information Provider and has been uploaded on to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website.


 


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


 


Section 3.14                          Title to REO Property; REO Account.  (a)  If title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired (and thus becomes REO Property), the deed or certificate of sale shall be issued in the name of the Trust where permitted by applicable law or regulation and consistent with customary servicing procedures, and otherwise, in the name of the Trustee or its nominee on behalf of the Certificateholders and, if applicable, on behalf of the Holders of the Class [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Certificates, in the case of the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, or the related Companion Holders, in the case of a Serviced Companion Loan.  REO Property with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is excluded for all purposes of this Section 3.14.  The Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Noteholder, shall sell any REO Property prior to the close of the third calendar year following the year in which the Trust acquires ownership of such REO Property, within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.856-6(b)(1), for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code, unless the Special Servicer either (i) applies for an extension of time no later than sixty (60) days prior to the close of the third calendar year in which it acquired ownership (or the period provided in the then applicable REMIC Provisions) and such extension is granted or is not denied (an “REO Extension”) by the Internal Revenue Service to sell such REO Property or (ii) obtains for the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, to the effect that the holding by the Trust of such REO Property subsequent to the close of the third calendar year following the year in which acquisition occurred will not cause the imposition of a tax on any Trust REMIC or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Lower-Tier Regular Interest or Certificate is outstanding.  If the Special Servicer is granted or not denied the REO Extension contemplated by clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence or obtains the Opinion of Counsel contemplated by clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Special Servicer shall sell such REO Property within such longer period as is permitted by such REO Extension or such Opinion of Counsel, as the case may be.  Any expense incurred by the Special Servicer in connection with its being granted the REO Extension contemplated by clause (i) of the second preceding sentence or its obtaining the Opinion of Counsel contemplated by clause (ii) of the second preceding sentence, shall be an expense of the Trust payable out of the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a).


 


(b)            The Special Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received in connection with any REO Property separate and apart from its own funds and general assets.  If an REO Acquisition shall occur, the Special Servicer shall establish and maintain one 



-212-










or more REO Accounts, held on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and, if applicable, on behalf of the Holders of the Class [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Certificates, in the case of the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, or any related Companion Holder(s), as applicable, as their interest shall appear, and the Trustee (as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests), for the retention of revenues and other proceeds derived from each REO Property.  The REO Account shall be an Eligible Account.  The Special Servicer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, in the REO Account, within one (1) Business Day after receipt of properly identified funds, all REO Revenues, Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds received in respect of an REO Property.  Funds in the REO Account may be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with Section 3.06.  The Special Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, and the Master Servicer of the location of the REO Account when first established and of the new location of the REO Account prior to any change thereof.


 


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


 


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


 


(e)            With respect to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, references to actions being taken for the benefit of the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan in this Section 3.14 shall be deemed to be taken also for the benefit of the Holders of the Class [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Certificates, as beneficial owners of the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan.


 


Section 3.15                          Management of REO Property.  (a)  If title to any REO Property is acquired, the Special Servicer shall manage, consent, protect, operate and lease such REO 



-213-










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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


To the extent that amounts on deposit in the REO Account in respect of any REO Property are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above with respect to such REO Property, the Master Servicer (subject to receiving notice from the Special Servicer in accordance with the procedures set forth elsewhere in this Agreement) shall advance from its own funds such amount as is necessary for such purposes unless (as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate 



-214-










Administrator and (prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event) the Directing Certificateholder) such advances would, if made, constitute Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances.


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


(iv) none of the provisions of this Section 3.15(c) relating to any such contract or to actions taken through any such Independent Contractor shall be deemed to relieve 



-215-










the Special Servicer of any of its duties and obligations hereunder with respect to the operation and management of any such REO Property; and


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


(ii) If any Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan subject to an Intercreditor Agreement is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or to the extent otherwise required pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement, then the Special Servicer (with respect to a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan) or the Master Servicer (with respect to a Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan) shall promptly notify in writing the other, any related Companion Holder, the related Subordinate Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder (in the case of the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan) and any related mezzanine lender, as applicable, of any events requiring notice under the Intercreditor Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof.  Thereafter, any related Companion Holder, the related Subordinate Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder (in the case of the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan) and related mezzanine lender, as applicable, will, notwithstanding anything in this



-216-










 Section 3.16 to the contrary, have the option to purchase the related Mortgage Loan and cure defaults relating thereto as and to the extent set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement.


 


(iii) If any Mortgage Loan not subject to an Intercreditor Agreement becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, or if the related Subordinate Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder (in the case of the Trust AB Mortgage Loan), related Companion Holder or related mezzanine lender, as applicable, for any such Mortgage Loan subject to an Intercreditor Agreement has not previously exercised the option to purchase the Mortgage Loan pursuant to the previous paragraph, the Special Servicer may offer to sell to any Person any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (to the extent consistent with any related Intercreditor Agreement) or may offer to purchase any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, if and when the Special Servicer determines, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that no satisfactory arrangements (including by way of a discounted pay-off) can be made for collection of delinquent payments thereon and such a sale would be in the best economic interests of the Trust on a net present value basis.  [In the case of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, under certain limited circumstances permitted under the related Intercreditor Agreement, to the extent that such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is not sold together with the Non-Serviced Companion Loan by the Special Servicer for the Non-Serviced Whole Loan, the Special Servicer will be entitled to sell (with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder if no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing) such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan if it determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such action would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders.]  The Special Servicer is required to give the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Directing Certificateholder not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice of its intention to sell any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, in which case the Special Servicer is required to accept the highest offer received from any person for such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan in an amount at least equal to the Purchase Price or, at its option, if it has received no offer at least equal to the Purchase Price therefor, purchase such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan at such Purchase Price.


 


(iv) (A)  In the case of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan as to which a default has occurred and is continuing, in the absence of any offer at least equal to the Purchase Price pursuant to clause (iii) above (or purchase by the Special Servicer for such price), the Special Servicer shall, subject to subclause (B) below, accept the highest offer received from any Person that is determined by the Special Servicer to be a fair price for such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, if the highest offeror is a Person other than an Interested Person.  If the highest offeror is an Interested Person, the Trustee (based upon updated Appraisals ordered by the Special Servicer and received by the Trustee (or ordered by the Trustee if the Special Servicer or any of its Affiliates is an Interested Person)) shall determine the fair price [unless (i) the offer is equal to or greater than the applicable Purchase Price, (ii) the offer is the highest offer received and (iii) at least two other offers are received from independent third parties; provided, however, that no offer from an Interested Person will constitute a fair price unless (A) it is the highest offer received and (B) at least two other offers are received from independent third parties], and any such determination by the Trustee shall be binding upon all parties. The Trustee 



-217-










shall act in a commercially reasonable manner in making such determination.  If the Trustee is required to determine whether a cash offer by an Interested Person constitutes a fair price, the Trustee may (at its option) designate an independent third party expert in real estate or commercial mortgage loan matters with at least 5 years’ experience in valuing or investing in loans similar to the subject Mortgage Loan, that has been selected with reasonable care by the Trustee to determine if such cash offer constitutes a fair price for such Mortgage Loan.  If the Trustee designates such a third party to make such determination, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon such third party’s determination.  The reasonable fees of, and the costs of all appraisals, inspection reports and broker opinions of value incurred by any such third party shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable, from the offering Interested Person and the Special Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect payment from such Interested Person.  If such expense is not paid by the applicable Interested Person within thirty (30) days of demand for payment, such expense shall be reimbursable to the Trustee by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance but the Special Servicer shall continue to use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect such amounts from the applicable Interested Person.  Neither the Trustee, in its individual capacity, nor any of its Affiliates may make an offer for or purchase any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan.


 


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


 


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


 


(b)            (i)  (A)  The Special Servicer may purchase any REO Property at the Purchase Price therefor (in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan or Trust AB Whole Loan, such purchase shall be a purchase of the entire REO Property, including the portion relating to the related Companion Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, as applicable).  The Special 



-218-










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


 


(B) In the absence of any such offer as set forth in subclause (A) above, the Special Servicer shall, subject to subclause (C) below, accept the highest offer for such REO Property received from any Person that is determined to be a fair price (1) by the Special Servicer, if the highest bidder is a Person other than an Interested Person, or (2) by the Trustee, if the highest bidder is an Interested Person [unless (i) the offer is equal to or greater than the applicable Purchase Price, (ii) the offer is the highest offer received and (iii) at least two other offers are received from independent third parties; provided, however, that no offer from an Interested Person will constitute a fair price unless (A) it is the highest offer received and (B) at least two other offers are received from independent third parties].  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither the Trustee, in its individual capacity, nor any of its Affiliates may make an offer for or purchase any REO Property pursuant hereto.


 


(C) The Special Servicer shall not be obligated by either of the foregoing paragraphs or otherwise to accept the highest offer if the Special Servicer determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holder or, with respect to the Trust AB Whole Loan, the Holders of the Class [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Certificates, as applicable, and in either case, as a collective whole (taking into account the subordinate or pari passu nature of any Serviced Companion Loans or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, as applicable).  In addition, the Special Servicer may accept a lower offer if it determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that acceptance of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holder or, with respect to the 



-219-










Trust AB Whole Loan, the Holders of the Class [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Certificates, as applicable, and in either case, as a collective whole (taking into account the subordinate or pari passu nature of any Serviced Companion Loans or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, as applicable) (for example, if the prospective buyer making the lower offer is more likely to perform its obligations, or the terms offered by the prospective buyer making the lower offer are more favorable); provided that the offeror is not the Special Servicer or a Person that is an Affiliate of the Special Servicer.


 


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


 


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



-220-










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


 


(d)            With respect to each Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan, pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, if the related Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan becomes a defaulted loan, and if the Special Servicer determines to sell the related Mortgage Loan that has become a Defaulted Mortgage Loan in accordance with this Section 3.16, then the Special Servicer will be required to sell the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan together with such Mortgage Loan as one whole loan and will be required to require that all offers be submitted to the Certificate Administrator in writing constitutes a fair price for the Serviced Whole Loan, such determination shall be made by the Trustee if the offeror is an Interested Person. [Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer will not be permitted to sell the related Mortgage Loan together with the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s) if it becomes a defaulted Whole Loan without the written consent of the holder of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (provided that such consent is not required if the holder of the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan is the Mortgagor or an affiliate of the Mortgagor) unless the Special Servicer has delivered to the holder of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan: (a) at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior written notice of any decision to attempt to sell such Serviced Whole Loan; (b) at least ten (10) days prior to the permitted sale date, a copy of each bid package (together with any material amendments to such bid packages) received by the Special Servicer in connection with any such proposed sale; (c) at least ten (10) days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of the most recent appraisal for such Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan, and any documents in the servicing file reasonably requested by the holder of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan that are material to the sale price of the Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan; and (d) until the sale is completed, and a reasonable period of time (but no less time than is afforded to other offerors and the Directing Certificateholder) prior to the proposed sale date, all information and other documents being provided to other offerors and all leases or other documents that are approved by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in connection with the proposed sale.  The holder of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (or its representative) will be permitted to submit an offer at any sale of such Whole Loan; however, the related Mortgagor and its agents and Affiliates shall not be permitted to submit an offer at such sale.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to each Serviced Whole Loan, the holder of the related Companion Loan may waive any of the delivery or timing requirements set forth in this paragraph with respect to the related Whole Loan.]  If the Trustee is required to determine whether a cash offer by an Interested Person constitutes a fair price, the Trustee may (at its option and at the expense of the offering Interested Person purchaser) designate an independent third party expert in real estate or commercial mortgage loan matters with at least 5 years’ experience in valuing or investing in loans similar to the subject Mortgage Loan, that has been selected with reasonable care by the Trustee to determine if such cash offer constitutes a fair price for such Mortgage Loan. The Trustee shall act in a commercially reasonable manner in making such determination. If the Trustee designates such a third party to make such determination, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon such third party’s determination.  The reasonable fees of, and the costs of all appraisals, inspection reports and broker opinions of value incurred by any such third party shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable, from the offering Interested Person and the 



-221-










Special Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect payment from such Interested Person.  If such expense is not paid by the applicable Interested Person within thirty (30) days of demand for payment, such expense shall be reimbursable to the Trustee by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance but the Special Servicer shall continue to use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect such amounts from the applicable Interested Person.


 


(e)            (i)  Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.16 to the contrary, (A) pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement, the holder of the related AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each applicable Serviced Whole Loan and (B) pursuant to Section 3.30 herein, the Subordinate Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder (with respect to the Trust AB Whole Loan) will have the right to purchase the related Mortgage Loan or related REO Property, as applicable.  Such right of the holder of the AB Subordinate Companion Loan or the Subordinate Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder shall be given priority over any provision described in this Section 3.16 as and to the extent set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement.  If the related Mortgage Loan or related REO Property is purchased by the holder of such AB Subordinate Companion Loan, purchased by the Subordinate Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder, repurchased by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller or otherwise ceases to be subject to this Agreement, the related AB Subordinate Companion Loan will no longer be subject to this Agreement.


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


(h)            In the event the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan becomes a Defaulted Mortgage Loan, the related Subordinate Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder shall be permitted upon irrevocable notice to the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, Trustee, Certificate Registrar, Depositor, Directing Certificateholder and Operating Advisor, to purchase such Trust Subordinate Companion Loan from the Trust in exchange for the Class [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Certificates together with the payment of all fees, costs and expenses and other amounts arising hereunder, including without limitation any amounts due to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Trustee.  After such election, the Certificate Registrar shall extinguish the Class [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Certificates on any Distribution Date within 45 days of receipt of such notice upon the tender of the Class [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Certificates by such Holder and shall deliver the Mortgage Note related to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan together with all assignments and allonges necessary to transfer ownership of such Mortgage Note to such Holder.  For federal income tax purposes, the Class [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Certificateholder shall be deemed to have purchased the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan for



-222-










 an amount equal to the outstanding Certificate Balance of the Class [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Certificates and all accrued unpaid interest thereon, and such amount shall be deemed to be distributed to such Holder in accordance with Section 4.01(b).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, such rights described in this Section 3.16(h) shall expire if the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan is no longer an asset of the Trust, is otherwise sold pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or becomes an REO Loan.


 


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


 


(b)            The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide to each Companion Holder any reports or notices required to be delivered to such Companion Holder pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide to the related Subordinate Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder any reports or notices required to be delivered to the holder of the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement.


 


(c)            Upon the determination that a previously made Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, to the extent that the reimbursement thereof would exceed the full amount of the principal portion of general collections on the Mortgage Loans or the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, as applicable, deposited in the Collection Account and available for distribution on the next Distribution Date, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, each at its own option and in its sole discretion, as applicable, instead of obtaining reimbursement for the remaining amount of such Nonrecoverable Advance pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(v) immediately, as an accommodation may elect to refrain from obtaining such reimbursement for such portion of the Nonrecoverable Advance during the one month collection period ending on the then-current Determination Date, for successive one-month periods for a total period not to exceed twelve (12) months (provided that, any such deferral exceeding six (6) months shall require, prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Termination Event, the consent of the Directing Certificateholder), and any election to so defer or not to defer shall be deemed to be in accordance with the Servicing Standard.  If the Master Servicer or the Trustee makes such an election at its sole option and in its sole discretion to defer reimbursement with respect to all or a portion of a Nonrecoverable Advance (together with interest thereon), then such Nonrecoverable Advance (together with interest thereon) or portion thereof shall continue to be fully reimbursable in the subsequent collection period (subject, again, to the same sole option to defer; it is acknowledged that, in such a subsequent period, such Nonrecoverable Advance shall again be payable first from principal collections as described above prior to payment from other 



-223-










collections).  In connection with a potential election by the Master Servicer or the Trustee to refrain from the reimbursement of a particular Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof during the one month collection period ending on the related Determination Date for any Distribution Date, the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall further be authorized to wait for principal collections on the Mortgage Loans or the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, as applicable, to be received until the end of such collection period before making its determination of whether to refrain from the reimbursement of a particular Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof); provided, however, that if, at any time the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, elects, in its sole discretion, not to refrain from obtaining such reimbursement or otherwise determines that the reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance during a one-month collection period will exceed the full amount of the principal portion of general collections deposited in the Collection Account for such Distribution Date, then the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall use its reasonable efforts to give the 17g-5 Information Provider fifteen (15) days’ notice of such determination for posting on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(c), unless extraordinary circumstances make such notice impractical, and thereafter will be required to deliver such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider as soon as practical thereafter.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, failure to give notice as required by the preceding sentence shall in no way affect the Master Servicer’s or the Trustee’s election whether to refrain from obtaining such reimbursement as described in this Section 3.17(c).  Nothing herein shall give the Master Servicer or the Trustee the right to defer reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance to the extent of any principal collections then available in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(v).


 


The foregoing shall not, however, be construed to limit any liability that may otherwise be imposed on such Person for any failure by such Person to comply with the conditions to making such an election under this section or to comply with the terms of this section and the other provisions of this Agreement that apply once such an election, if any, has been made; provided, however, that the fact that a decision to recover such Nonrecoverable Advances over time, or not to do so, benefits some classes of Certificateholders to the detriment of other classes shall not, with respect to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, constitute a violation of the Servicing Standard and/or with respect to the Trustee (solely in its capacity as Trustee), constitute a violation of any fiduciary duty to Certificateholders or any contractual obligation hereunder.  If the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, determines, in its sole discretion, that its ability to fully recover the Nonrecoverable Advances has been compromised, then the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to immediate reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances with interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate from all amounts in the Collection Account for such Distribution Date (deemed first from principal and then interest).  Any such election by any such party to refrain from reimbursing itself or obtaining reimbursement for any Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof with respect to any one or more collection periods shall not limit the accrual of interest at the Reimbursement Rate on such Nonrecoverable Advance for the period prior to the actual reimbursement of such Nonrecoverable Advance.  The Master Servicer’s or the Trustee’s, as 



-224-










applicable, agreement to defer reimbursement of such Nonrecoverable Advances as set forth above is an accommodation to the Certificateholders and shall not be construed as an obligation on the part of the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, or a right of the Certificateholders.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to create in the Certificateholders a right to prior payment of distributions over the Master Servicer’s or the Trustee’s, as applicable, right to reimbursement for Advances (deferred or otherwise) and accrued interest thereon.  In all events, the decision to defer reimbursement or to seek immediate reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances shall be deemed to be in accordance with the Servicing Standard and none of the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the other parties to this Agreement shall have any liability to one another or to any of the Certificateholders (including the Holders of the Class [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Certificates) or any of the Companion Holders for any such election that such party makes as contemplated by this section or for any losses, damages or other adverse economic or other effects that may arise from such an election.


 


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


 


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


 


Section 3.18                          Modifications, Waivers, Amendments and Consents.  (a)  Except as set forth in Section 3.08(a), Section 3.08(b), this Section 3.18(a), Section 3.18(d), Section 3.18(h), Section 3.18(i) and Section 6.08, but subject to any other conditions set forth thereunder (including, without limitation, the Special Servicer’s processing and/or consent rights pursuant to this subsection (a) with respect to any modification, waiver or amendment that constitutes a Major Decision) and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), Trust AB Whole Loan or any Serviced Whole Loan, (and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, subject to the rights of the related Companion Holder (or the related Subordinate Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder), as applicable, to advise or consult with the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, with respect to, or to consent to, a modification, waiver or amendment, in each case, pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement), the Master Servicer, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, may agree to any modification, waiver, amendment or consent of or relating to any term (other than a Money Term), may extend the maturity date of any Balloon Mortgage Loan, other than a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to a date not more than sixty (60) days beyond the original maturity date, if in the Master Servicer’s sole judgment exercised in good faith, a default in the payment of the Balloon Payment is reasonably foreseeable and such extension is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery to the 



-225-










Certificateholders and the holder of the related Companion Loan, as applicable (as a collective whole), on a net present value basis than liquidation of such Mortgage Loan, and the Mortgagor has obtained an executed written commitment (subject only to satisfaction of conditions set forth therein) for refinancing of the Mortgage Loan or purchase of the related Mortgaged Property; provided that such amendment would not result in an Adverse REMIC Event.


 


The Master Servicer shall not modify, waive or amend the terms of any Mortgage Loan that is not a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan without the prior written consent of the Special Servicer (it being understood that the Master Servicer will promptly provide the Special Servicer with notice of any request for such modification, waiver or amendment, the Master Servicer’s written recommendation and analysis, and all information reasonably available to the Master Servicer that may be reasonably requested by the Special Servicer in order to grant or withhold such consent); provided that in the event that the Special Servicer does not respond within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of such analysis and all such information reasonably requested by the Special Servicer in order to grant or withhold such consent, plus the time period provided to the Directing Certificateholder or other relevant party under this Agreement and, if applicable, any time period provided to a Companion Holder under a related Intercreditor Agreement, the Special Servicer’s consent to such modification, waiver or amendment shall be deemed granted.  With respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans), the Special Servicer will be required, prior to consenting to such a proposed action of the Master Servicer, and prior to itself taking such an action, either to obtain the written consent of (if no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing) or to consult with (if during the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event but prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event), the Directing Certificateholder.  Any such consent (if consent is required) will be deemed given ten (10) Business Days after receipt (unless earlier objected to) by the Directing Certificateholder of the Master Servicer’s and/or Special Servicer’s written analysis and recommendation with respect to such waiver together with such other information reasonably required by the Directing Certificateholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to the rights of the related Companion Holder or the related Subordinate Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder to advise the Master Servicer with respect to, or consent to, such modification, waiver or amendment pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement, and subject to the Special Servicer’s processing and/or consent rights pursuant to this subsection (a) if any such modification, waiver or amendment constitutes a Major Decision, the Master Servicer, with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, without the consent of the Special Servicer, may modify or amend the terms of any Mortgage Loan, Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan in order to (i) cure any ambiguity or mistake therein or (ii) correct or supplement any provisions therein which may be inconsistent with any other provisions therein or correct any error; provided that, if the Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan is not in default or default with respect thereto is not reasonably foreseeable, such modification or amendment would not be a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan, Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b).


 


Subject to Section 6.08 herein, applicable law and the Mortgage Loan, Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan documents, neither the 



-226-










Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall permit the substitution of any Mortgaged Property (or any portion thereof) for one or more other parcels of real property at any time the Mortgage Loan, Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan is not in default pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan, Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan documents or default with respect thereto is not reasonably foreseeable unless (i) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, obtains Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency (and delivers such Rating Agency Confirmation to the Directing Certificateholder, if permitted by the applicable Rating Agency) and a confirmation of any applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities (if any) (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25)) and (ii) such substitution would not be a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan, Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) or otherwise cause an Adverse REMIC Event (and the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, may obtain and rely upon an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the related Mortgagor if not prohibited by the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents, and if so prohibited, at the expense of the Trust) with respect thereto).


 


Upon receiving a request for any matter described in this Section 3.18(a) that constitutes a Major Decision (without regard to the first proviso in the definition of “Major Decision”, as applicable) with respect to any Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall forward such request to the Special Servicer and, unless the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer mutually agree that the Master Servicer shall process such request, the Special Servicer shall process such request and the Master Servicer shall have no further obligation with respect to such request or such Major Decision.


 


(b)            If the Special Servicer determines that a modification, waiver or amendment (including, without limitation, the forgiveness or deferral of accrued interest, principal, any Prepayment Premium or any Yield Maintenance Charge; the reduction of a scheduled payment; the forbearance in the enforcement of any right granted under the related Mortgage Note; the extension of a Maturity Date; the acceptance of a principal prepayment during any lockout period; or the substitution of collateral pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan or otherwise, the release of collateral or the pledge of additional collateral) of the terms of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan with respect to which a payment default or other material default has occurred or a payment default or other material default is, in the Special Servicer’s judgment, reasonably foreseeable (as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of the Special Servicer), is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery on a net present value basis (the relevant discounting to be performed at the related Mortgage Rate) to the Trust and, if applicable, the Companion Holders, Holders of the [LOAN-SPECIFIC CLASS] Certificates, as applicable, as the holders of the related Serviced Companion Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, as applicable, than liquidation of such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, then the Special Servicer may agree to a modification, waiver or amendment of such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, subject to (w) the provisions of this Section 3.18(b) and Section 3.18(c), (x) with respect to any Mortgage Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, 



-227-










prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the approval of the Directing Certificateholder (or after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, but prior to a Consultation Termination Event, upon consultation with the Directing Certificateholder) as provided in Section 6.08; provided that with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan or Trust AB Whole Loan, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a related AB Control Appraisal Period, the approval of the holder of the related AB Subordinate Companion Loan or of the related Subordinate Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder, as applicable, will be required to the extent set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement and the Directing Certificateholder shall have no consent or consultation rights regarding the matter; (y) with respect to any Mortgage Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Operating Advisor Termination Event, the rights of the Operating Advisor to advise or consult with the Special Servicer with respect to such modification, waiver or amendment; and (z) additionally, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, the rights of the related Serviced Companion Noteholder or with respect to a Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) with mezzanine debt, the rights of the related mezzanine lender, to advise or consult with the Special Servicer with respect to, or consent to, such modification, waiver or amendment, in each case, pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement or mezzanine intercreditor agreement, as applicable; provided that in the case of any release or substitution of collateral (other than a defeasance), the Special Servicer shall have obtained an Opinion of Counsel that such release or substitution would not be a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) or otherwise cause an Adverse REMIC Event.


 


In connection with (i) the release of a Mortgaged Property (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property), or any portion of such Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage or (ii) the taking of a Mortgaged Property (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property), or any portion of such Mortgaged Property by exercise of the power of eminent domain or condemnation, if the related Mortgage Loan documents require the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to calculate (or to approve the calculation of the related Mortgagor of) the loan-to-value ratio of the remaining Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties or the fair market value of the real property constituting the remaining Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties, for purposes of REMIC qualification of the related Mortgage Loan, then such calculation shall, unless then permitted by the REMIC Provisions, exclude the value of personal property and going concern value, if any, as determined by an appropriate third party.


 


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



-228-










(including any options to extend such leasehold estate exercisable unilaterally by the related Mortgagor), or (2) provide for the deferral of interest unless interest accrues on the related Mortgage Loan, Trust AB Whole Loan or Serviced Whole Loan generally at the related Mortgage Rate.


 


(c)            Any provision of this Section 3.18 to the contrary notwithstanding, except when a Mortgage Loan, Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and/or Companion Loan is in default or default with respect thereto is reasonably foreseeable, no fee described in this Section 3.18 shall be collected by any Master Servicer or Special Servicer from a Mortgagor (or on behalf of the Mortgagor) in conjunction with any consent or any modification, waiver or amendment of a Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan, as applicable (unless the amount thereof is specified in the related Mortgage Note) if the collection of such fee would cause such consent, modification, waiver or amendment to be a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Note within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b).


 


(d)            To the extent consistent with this Agreement (including, without limitation, the first sentence of Section 3.18(a), and Section 6.08), the Master Servicer (as provided in Section 3.08(a) and 3.08(b) and subject to the Special Servicer’s processing and/or consent rights pursuant to Section 3.20(a) if any such waiver, modification or amendment constitutes a Major Decision) or the Special Servicer may, consistent with the Servicing Standard, agree to any waiver, modification or amendment of a Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan and/or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan that is not in default or as to which default is not reasonably foreseeable only if it provides the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator with an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the related Mortgagor or such other Person requesting such modification or, if such expense cannot be collected from the related Mortgagor or such other Person, to be paid out of the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a); provided that the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall use its reasonable efforts to collect such fee from the Mortgagor or such other Person to the extent permitted under the related Mortgage Loan documents or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan documents, as applicable) to the effect that the contemplated waiver, modification or amendment (i) will not be a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) and (ii) will not cause (x) any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC for purposes of the Code or (y) any Trust REMIC to be subject to any tax under the REMIC Provisions.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer may waive the payment of any Yield Maintenance Charge or the requirement that any prepayment of a Mortgage Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan be made on a Due Date, or if not made on a Due Date, be accompanied by all interest that would be due on the next Due Date with respect to any Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan that is not a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan.


 


(e)            Subject to Section 3.18(c), the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each may, as a condition to its granting any request by a Mortgagor for consent, modification (including extensions), waiver or indulgence or any other matter or thing, the granting of which is within the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as the case may be, discretion pursuant to the terms of the instruments evidencing or securing the related Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and is permitted by the terms of this Agreement, 



-229-










require that such Mortgagor pay to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, as additional servicing compensation, a reasonable or customary fee, for the additional services performed in connection with such request; provided that the charging of such fee is not a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b).


 


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


 


(g)            With respect to any modification, waiver or amendment for which it is responsible for processing pursuant to Section 3.18 hereof, the Special Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor [(after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event)] [EXCLUDE FOR TRANSACTIONS THAT CLOSE ON OR AFTER DECEMBER 24, 2016 THAT SATISFY RISK RETENTION REQUIREMENTS THROUGH THIRD PARTY PURCHASER OF HORIZONTAL RESIDUAL INTEREST], the Directing Certificateholder (other than following the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event), the applicable Companion Holder (unless, with respect to a holder of an AB Subordinate Companion Loan, an AB Control Appraisal Period has occurred, if applicable), the related Subordinate Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder (unless, with respect to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, an AB Control Appraisal Period has occurred, if applicable), the related Mortgage Loan Seller (if such Mortgage Loan Seller is not a Master Servicer or Sub-Servicer of such Mortgage Loan or the Directing Certificateholder) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post such notice on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(c)) in writing of any modification, waiver or amendment (in each case, after it is finalized and executed) of any term of any Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan that is modified, waived or amended and the date thereof.  With respect to any modification, waiver or amendment (in each case, after it is finalized and executed) for which it is responsible for processing pursuant to Section 3.18 hereof, the Master Servicer shall provide written notice of any such modification, waiver or amendment to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer (and the Special Servicer shall, prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, forward such notice to the Directing Certificateholder), the applicable Companion Holder (unless, with respect to a holder of an AB Subordinate Companion Loan, an AB Control Appraisal Period has occurred, if applicable), the related Subordinate Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder (unless, with respect to the related Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, an AB Control Appraisal Period has occurred, if applicable) and the related Mortgage Loan Seller (so long as such Mortgage Loan Seller is not a Master Servicer or Sub-Servicer of such Mortgage Loan or the Directing Certificateholder) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post such notice on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(c)).

From time to time, the Master Servicer, Special Servicer and Certificate Administrator may agree on a different delivery time and format for the information set forth in this paragraph.


 


(h)            The Master Servicer shall process all defeasance transactions, subject to the Special Servicer’s consent relating to a defeasance.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall not permit (or, with regard to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, take any act in furtherance of) the substitution of any Mortgaged Property pursuant to the defeasance provisions of any Mortgage Loan, Trust Subordinate Companion Loan or a Serviced Whole Loan unless such defeasance complies with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii) and the Master Servicer has received (i) replacement collateral consisting of government securities within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii), which satisfies the requirements of the applicable Mortgage Loan documents or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan documents, in an amount sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the related Mortgage Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan (or defeased portion thereof) when due, (ii) a certificate of an Independent certified public accountant to the effect that such substituted property will provide cash flows sufficient to meet all payments of interest and principal (including payments at maturity) on such Mortgage Loan, Serviced Whole Loan or Trust AB Whole Loan in compliance with the requirements of the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents and, if applicable, Companion Loan documents, or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan documents, (iii) one or more Opinions of Counsel (at the expense of the related Mortgagor)

to the effect that the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, will have a first priority perfected security interest in such substituted Mortgaged Property; provided, however, that, to the extent consistent with the related Mortgage Loan documents and, if applicable, Companion Loan documents or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan documents, the related Mortgagor shall pay the cost of any such opinion as a condition to granting such defeasance, (iv) to the extent consistent with the related Mortgage Loan documents and, if applicable, Companion Loan documents or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan documents, the Mortgagor shall establish a single purpose entity to act as a successor Mortgagor, if so required by the Rating Agencies, (v) to the extent permissible under the related Mortgage Loan documents and, if applicable, Companion Loan documents or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan documents, the Master Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to require the related Mortgagor to pay all costs of such defeasance, including but not limited to the cost of maintaining any successor Mortgagor, and (vi) to the extent permissible under the Mortgage Loan documents and, if applicable, Companion Loan documents or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan documents, the Master Servicer shall obtain, at the expense of the related Mortgagor, Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and a confirmation of any applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities (if any) (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25); provided, further, however, that no such confirmation from any Rating Agency shall be required to the extent that the Master Servicer has delivered a defeasance certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit U hereto for any Mortgage Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan that (together with any Mortgage Loans cross-collateralized with such Mortgage Loans) is:  (i) a Mortgage Loan with a Cut-off Date Principal Balance less than $20,000,000, (ii) a Mortgage Loan that represents less than 5% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of all Mortgage Loans a, and (iii) a Mortgage Loan that is not one of the ten largest Mortgage Loans by Stated Principal Balance.

(i)            Notwithstanding anything herein or in the related Mortgage Loan documents and, if applicable, Companion Loan documents or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan documents, to the contrary, the Master Servicer may permit the substitution of “government securities,” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, that comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii) for any Mortgaged Property pursuant to the defeasance provisions of any Mortgage Loan, a Serviced Whole Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, as applicable (or any portion thereof), in lieu of the defeasance collateral specified in the related Mortgage Loan documents, Serviced Whole Loan documents or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan documents, as applicable; provided that such substitution is consistent with the Servicing Standard and the Master Servicer (subject to the Special Servicer’s processing and/or consent rights pursuant to Section 3.20(a) with respect to any such action that constitutes a Major Decision) reasonably determines that allowing their use would not cause a default or event of default to become reasonably foreseeable and the Master Servicer receives an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the Mortgagor to the extent permitted 



-232-










under the Mortgage Loan documents and, if applicable, Companion Loan documents or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan documents or otherwise as a Trust Fund expense) to the effect that such use would not be and would not constitute a “significant modification” of such Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) and would not otherwise constitute an Adverse REMIC Event with respect to any Trust REMIC; and provided, further, that the requirements set forth in Section 3.18(h) (including receipt of any Rating Agency Confirmation) are satisfied; and provided, further, that such securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government, or the Master Servicer shall obtain Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and a confirmation of any applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities (if any) (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25).


 


(j)            If required under the related Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan documents or if otherwise consistent with the Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (the “Defeasance Accounts”), which shall be Eligible Accounts, into which all payments received by the Master Servicer from any defeasance collateral substituted for any Mortgaged Property shall be deposited and retained, and shall administer such Defeasance Accounts in accordance with the Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan documents.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Master Servicer permit such amounts to be maintained in the Defeasance Account for a period in excess of ninety (90) days, unless such amounts are reinvested by the Master Servicer in “government securities,” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, that comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii).  To the extent not required or permitted to be placed in a separate account, the Master Servicer shall deposit all payments received by it from defeasance collateral substituted for any Mortgaged Property into the Collection Account and treat any such payments as payments made on the Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan in advance of its Due Date in accordance with clause (a)(i) of the definition of “Available Funds” or clause (a) of the definition of “[LOAN-SPECIFIC] Available Funds”, as applicable, and not as a prepayment of the related Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Master Servicer permit such amounts to be maintained in the Collection Account for a period in excess of 365 days (or 366 days in the case of a leap year).


 


(k)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall, unless it has received Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and a confirmation of any applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities (if any) (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25) (the cost of which shall be paid by the related Mortgagor, if so allowed by the terms of the related loan documents and otherwise paid out of general collections) grant or accept any consent, approval or direction regarding the termination of the related property

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

Section 3.20                          Sub-Servicing Agreements.  (a)  The Master Servicer, Special Servicer [and Operating Advisor] may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements to provide for the performance by third parties of any or all of its respective obligations hereunder; provided that the Sub-Servicing Agreement as amended or modified:  (i) is consistent with this Agreement in all material respects and requires the Sub-Servicer to comply with all of the applicable conditions of this Agreement; (ii) provides that if the Master Servicer, Special Servicer [or Operating Advisor], as applicable, shall for any reason no longer act in such capacity hereunder (including, without limitation, by reason of a Servicer Termination Event), the Trustee or its designee shall thereupon assume all of the rights and, except to the extent they arose prior to the date of assumption, obligations of such party under such agreement, or, alternatively, may act in accordance with Section 7.02 hereof under the circumstances described therein (subject to Section 3.20(g) hereof); (iii) provides that the Trustee (for the benefit of the Certificateholders (including, with respect to the Trust AB Whole Loan, Holders of the Class [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Certificates) and the related Companion Holder (if applicable) and the Trustee (as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests) shall be a third party beneficiary under such Sub-Servicing Agreement, but that (except to the extent the Trustee or its designee assumes the obligations of such party thereunder as contemplated by the immediately preceding clause (ii)) none of the Trust, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, any successor master servicer or special servicer or any Certificateholder (or the related Companion Holder, if applicable) shall have any duties under such Sub-Servicing Agreement or any liabilities arising therefrom; (iv) permits any purchaser of a Mortgage Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan pursuant to this Agreement to terminate such Sub-Servicing Agreement with respect to such purchased Mortgage Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan at its option and without penalty; provided, however, that the Initial Sub-Servicing Agreements may only be terminated by the Trustee or its designees as contemplated by Section 3.20(g) hereof and in such additional manner and by such other Persons as is provided in such Sub-Servicing Agreement; (v) does not permit the Sub-Servicer any direct rights of indemnification that may be satisfied out of assets of the Trust; (vi) does not permit the Sub-Servicer to modify any Mortgage Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan unless and to the extent the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, is permitted hereunder to modify such Mortgage Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan; (vii) with respect to any Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into after the Closing Date, if such Sub-Servicer is a Servicing Function Participant or an Additional Servicer, such Sub-Servicer, at the time the related Sub-Servicing Agreement is entered into, is not a Prohibited Party and (viii) provides that the Sub-Servicer shall be in default under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement and such Sub-Servicing Agreement shall be terminated (following the expiration of any applicable Grace Period) if the Sub-Servicer fails (A) to deliver by the due date any Exchange Act reporting items required to be delivered to the Master Servicer under Article XI or under the Sub-Servicing Agreement or to the master servicer under any other pooling and servicing agreement that the Depositor is a party to, or (B) to perform in any material respect any of its covenants or obligations contained in the Sub-Servicing Agreement regarding creating, obtaining or delivering any Exchange Act reporting items required for any party to this Agreement to perform its obligations under Article XI or under the Exchange Act reporting items required under any other pooling and servicing agreement that the Depositor is a party to.  Any successor master servicer, special servicer [or operating advisor], as applicable, hereunder shall, upon becoming successor master servicer, special servicer [or operating advisor], as applicable, be assigned and may 



-242-










assume any Sub-Servicing Agreements from the predecessor Master Servicer, Special Servicer [or Operating Advisor], as applicable (subject to Section 3.20(g) hereof).  In addition, each Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into by the Master Servicer may but need not provide that the obligations of the Sub-Servicer thereunder may terminate with respect to any Mortgage Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan serviced thereunder at the time such Mortgage Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that the Sub-Servicing Agreement may provide (if the Sub-Servicing Agreement provides for Advances by the Sub-Servicer, although it need not so provide) that the Sub-Servicer will continue to make all Advances and calculations and prepare all reports required under the Sub-Servicing Agreement with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and continue to collect its Primary Servicing Fees as if no Servicing Transfer Event had occurred and with respect to REO Properties (and the related REO Loans) as if no REO Acquisition had occurred and to render such incidental services with respect to such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Properties as are specifically provided for in such Sub-Servicing Agreement.  The Master Servicer, Special Servicer [or Operating Advisor], as applicable, shall deliver to the Trustee copies of all Sub-Servicing Agreements, and any amendments thereto and modifications thereof, entered into by it, in each case promptly upon its execution and delivery of such documents.  References in this Agreement to actions taken or to be taken by the Master Servicer include actions taken or to be taken by a Sub-Servicer on behalf of the Master Servicer; and, in connection therewith, all amounts advanced by any Sub-Servicer (if the Sub-Servicing Agreement provides for Advances by the Sub-Servicer, although it need not so provide) to satisfy the obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder to make Advances shall be deemed to have been advanced by the Master Servicer out of its own funds and, accordingly, in such event, such Advances shall be recoverable by such Sub-Servicer in the same manner and out of the same funds as if such Sub-Servicer were the Master Servicer, and, for so long as they are outstanding, such Advances shall accrue interest in accordance with Section 3.03(d), such interest to be allocable between the Master Servicer and such Sub-Servicer as may be provided (if at all) pursuant to the terms of the Sub-Servicing Agreement.  For purposes of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to have received any payment when a Sub-Servicer retained by it receives such payment.  The Master Servicer, Special Servicer [or Operating Advisor], as applicable, shall notify the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable [(or in the case of the Operating Advisor, both the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer)], the Trustee and the Depositor (and the Special Servicer shall notify the Operating Advisor) in writing promptly of the appointment by it of any Sub-Servicer, except that the Master Servicer need not provide such notice as to the Initial Sub-Servicing Agreements.


 


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


 


(c)            As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Master Servicer for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall (at no expense to the Trustee, the Certificateholders or the Trust) monitor the performance and enforce the obligations of each Sub-Servicer under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, except that the Master Servicer shall be required only to use reasonable efforts to cause any Initial Sub-Servicer to comply with the 



-243-










requirements of Article XI hereof.  Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements in accordance with their respective terms and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as is in accordance with the Servicing Standard.  The Master Servicer shall have the right to remove a Sub-Servicer retained by it in accordance with the terms of the related Sub-Servicing Agreement.


 


(d)            In the event the Trustee or its designee becomes successor master servicer and assumes the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under any Sub-Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer, at its expense, shall deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to such Sub-Servicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loans and, if applicable, the Companion Loans or the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan then being serviced thereunder and an accounting of amounts collected and held on behalf of it thereunder, and otherwise use reasonable efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the Sub-Servicing Agreement to the assuming party.


 


(e)            Notwithstanding the provisions of any Sub-Servicing Agreement and this Section 3.20, except to the extent provided in Article XI with respect to the obligations of any Sub-Servicer that is an Initial Sub-Servicer, the Master Servicer shall remain obligated and responsible to the Trustee, the Special Servicer, holders of the Companion Loans serviced hereunder and the Certificateholders (including, with respect to the Trust AB Whole Loan, the Holders of the Class [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Certificates) for the performance of its obligations and duties under this Agreement in accordance with the provisions hereof to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if it alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan for which it is responsible, and the Master Servicer shall pay the fees of any Sub-Servicer thereunder as and when due from its own funds.  In no event shall the Trust bear any termination fee required to be paid to any Sub-Servicer as a result of such Sub-Servicer’s termination under any Sub-Servicing Agreement.


 


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


 


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



-244-










without the prior written consent of the Initial Sub-Servicer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).


 


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


 


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


 


Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Sub-Servicer shall be permitted under any Sub-Servicing Agreement to make material servicing decisions, such as loan modifications or determinations as to the manner or timing of enforcing remedies under the Mortgage Loan documents or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan documents, as applicable, without the consent of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable.


 


Section 3.21                          Interest Reserve Account.


 


(a)  On the P&I Advance Date occurring in each February and in any January that occurs in a year that is not a leap year (in each case, unless the related Distribution Date is the final Distribution Date), the Certificate Administrator, in respect of the Actual/360 Mortgage Loans (other than the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan), shall deposit into the Interest Reserve Account, an amount equal to one (1) day’s interest on the Stated Principal Balance of the Actual/360 Mortgage Loans as of the Due Date occurring in the month preceding the month in which P&I Advance Date occurs at the related Net Mortgage Rate, to the extent a full Periodic Payment or P&I Advance is made in respect thereof (all amounts so deposited in any consecutive February and January, “Withheld Amounts”).


 


(b)            On each P&I Advance Date occurring in March (or February, if the related Distribution Date is the final Distribution Date), the Certificate Administrator shall withdraw, from the Interest Reserve Account an amount equal to the Withheld Amounts from the preceding January (if applicable) and February, if any, and deposit such amount into the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account.


 


Section 3.22                          Directing Certificateholder and Operating Advisor Contact with Master Servicer and Special Servicer.  Within a reasonable time upon request from the Directing Certificateholder or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, and no more often than on a monthly basis, each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall, without charge, make a knowledgeable Servicing Officer via telephone available to verbally answer questions from 



-245-










(a) prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder and (b) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Control Termination Event, the Operating Advisor (with respect to the Special Servicer only), regarding the performance and servicing of the Mortgage Loans, the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and/or REO Properties for which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, is responsible.


 


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


 


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



-246-










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


 


(d)            In the event that no Directing Certificateholder has been appointed or identified to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, has attempted to obtain such information from the Certificate Administrator and no such entity has been identified to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, then until such time as the new Directing Certificateholder is identified, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall have no duty to consult with, provide notice to, or seek the approval or consent of any such Directing Certificateholder as the case may be.


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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



-247-










Certificateholder or any director, officer, employee, agent or principal of the Directing Certificateholder for having so acted.


 


(h)            (i) All requirements of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to provide notices, reports, statements or other information (including the access to information on a website) to the Directing Certificateholder contained in this Agreement shall (i) also apply to each Companion Holder with respect to information relating to the related Serviced AB Mortgage Loan or a Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable and (ii) also entitle the related Subordinate Loan–Specific Directing Certificateholder, at all times while the related Trust Subordinate Companion Loan is not subject to an AB Control Appraisal Period to receive such information with respect to the related Trust AB Mortgage Loan and the related Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, as applicable; provided, however, that neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall provide information that comprises Privileged Information following the date upon which they receive notice that such Trust Subordinate Companion Loan is subject to an AB Control Appraisal Period, and thereafter the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall only be required to provide such Subordinate Loan–Specific Directing Certificateholder with such information as is expressly required to be delivered under the related Intercreditor Agreement; provided, however, that nothing in this subsection (h) shall in any way eliminate the obligation to deliver any information required to be delivered under the related Intercreditor Agreement.


 


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


 


(j)            With respect to a Serviced Whole Loan or the Trust AB Whole Loan and any approval and consent rights in this Agreement with respect to such Serviced Whole Loan or Trust AB Whole Loan, the related Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder or Subordinate Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder shall exercise such rights in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement.


 


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


 


(l)            At any time that the Controlling Class Certificateholder is the holder of a majority of the Class [E] Certificates and the Class [E] Certificates are the Controlling Class, it may waive its right (a) to appoint the Directing Certificateholder and (b) to exercise any of the Directing Certificateholder’s rights under this Agreement by irrevocable written notice delivered to the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator (which shall be via email to [EMAIL ADDRESS]), the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, during such time as a Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event is in existence solely as a result of the operation of clause (ii) of the definition of Control Termination Event and clause (ii) of the 



-248-










definition of Consultation Termination Event, such Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event shall be deemed to no longer be in existence and have not occurred with respect to any unaffiliated third party to whom the Controlling Class Certificateholder that irrevocably waived its right to exercise any of the rights of the Controlling Class Certificateholder has sold or transferred all or a portion of its interest in the Class [E] Certificates if such unaffiliated third party holds the majority of the Controlling Class after giving effect to such transfer (the “Non-Waiving Successor”).  Following any such sale or transfer, the Non-Waiving Successor shall again have the rights of the Controlling Class Certificateholder as set forth herein (including the rights to appoint a Directing Certificateholder or cause the exercise of the rights of the Directing Certificateholder) without regard to any prior waiver by the predecessor Controlling Class Certificateholder.  The Non-Waiving Successor shall also have the right to exercise any of the rights of the Controlling Class Certificateholder.  No Non-Waiving Successor described above shall have any consent rights with respect to any Mortgage Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan that became a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan prior to the sale or transfer of the Class [E] Certificates to the Non-Waiving Successor and had not also become a Corrected Loan prior to such sale or transfer until such time as such Mortgage Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan becomes a Corrected Loan.


 


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


 


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


 


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



-249-










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


 


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


 


Section 3.24                          Intercreditor Agreements.  (a)  Each of the Master Servicer and Special Servicer acknowledges and agrees that each Serviced Whole Loan and Trust AB Whole Loan being serviced under this Agreement and each Mortgage Loan with mezzanine debt is subject to the terms and provisions of the related Intercreditor Agreement and each agrees to service each such Serviced Whole Loan, Trust AB Whole Loan and each Mortgage Loan with mezzanine debt in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, including, without limitation, effecting distributions and allocating reimbursement of expenses in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement and, in the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the related Intercreditor Agreement, the related Intercreditor Agreement shall govern.  Notwithstanding anything contrary in this Agreement, each of the Master Servicer and Special Servicer agrees not to take any action with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, the Trust AB Whole Loan or a Mortgage Loan with mezzanine debt or the related Mortgaged Property without the prior consent of the related Companion Holder, related Subordinate Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder or mezzanine lender, as applicable, to the extent that the related Intercreditor Agreement provides that such Companion Holder, holder of the related Trust Subordinate Companion Loan or mezzanine lender, as applicable, is required or permitted to consent to such action.  Each of the Master Servicer and Special Servicer acknowledges and agrees that each Companion Holder, the Subordinate Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder and each mezzanine lender or its respective designee has the right to purchase the related Mortgage Loan pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the related Intercreditor Agreement to the extent provided for therein.  Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer further acknowledges and agrees that any AB Whole Loan Controlling Holder or the Subordinate Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder, as applicable, will have the right to replace the Special Servicer solely with respect to the related Serviced AB Whole Loan or Trust AB Whole Loan, as applicable, to the extent provided for herein and in the related Intercreditor Agreement.


 


(b)            Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall have any liability for any cost, claim or damage that arises from any entitlement in favor of a Companion Holder, a Subordinate Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder or a mezzanine lender under the related Intercreditor Agreement or conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of such Intercreditor Agreement.  Notwithstanding any provision of any Intercreditor Agreement 



-250-










that may otherwise require the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to abide by any instruction or direction of a Companion Holder, a Subordinate Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder or a mezzanine lender, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be required to comply with any instruction or direction the compliance with which requires an Advance that constitutes or would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.  In no event shall any expense arising from compliance with an Intercreditor Agreement constitute an expense to be borne by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer for its own account without reimbursement.  In no event shall the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer be required to consult with or obtain the consent of any Companion Holder, Subordinate Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder or a mezzanine lender unless such Companion Holder, Subordinate Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder or mezzanine lender has delivered notice of its identity and contact information to each of the parties to this Agreement (upon which notice each of the parties to this Agreement shall be conclusively entitled to rely).  As of the Closing Date, the contact information for the Companion Holders and mezzanine lenders is as set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement. The Certificate Administrator shall, upon request, deliver contact information to the Master Servicer and Special Servicer for holders of the Class [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Certificates. In no event shall the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, be required to consult with or obtain the consent of a new Directing Certificateholder, a new Controlling Class Certificateholder or a new Subordinate Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder unless the Certificate Administrator has delivered notice to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, as required under Section 3.23(e) or the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, have actual knowledge of the identity and contact information of a new Directing Certificateholder,  a new Controlling Class Certificateholder or a new Subordinate Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder.


 


(c)            No direction or disapproval of the Companion Holders, the Subordinate Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder or any mezzanine lender shall (a) require or cause the Master Servicer or Special Servicer to violate the terms of a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan, applicable law or any provision of this Agreement, including the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard and to maintain the REMIC status of each Trust REMIC and the grantor trust status of the Grantor Trust, (b) result in the imposition of a “prohibited transaction” or “prohibited contribution” tax under the REMIC Provisions or (c) materially expand the scope of the Special Servicer’s, Trustee’s, the Certificate Administrator’s or the Master Servicer’s responsibilities under this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the consultation rights of the related Companion Holder set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Special Servicer may make any Major Decision or take any action set forth in the Asset Status Report before the expiration of the aforementioned ten (10) Business Day period if the Special Servicer determines that immediate action with respect thereto is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders and the related Companion Holder.

(a)  Notwithstanding the terms of any related Mortgage Loan documents or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan documents or other provisions of this Agreement, if any action under any Mortgage Loan documents or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan documents or this Agreement requires Rating Agency Confirmation as a condition precedent to such action, if the party (the “RAC Requesting Party”) required to obtain such Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency has made a request to any Rating Agency for such Rating Agency Confirmation and, within ten (10) Business Days of the Rating Agency Confirmation request being posted to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website, such Rating Agency has not replied to such request or has responded in a manner that indicates that such Rating Agency is neither reviewing such request nor waiving the requirement for Rating Agency Confirmation, then such RAC Requesting Party shall be required to confirm (through direct communication and not by posting any confirmation on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website) that the applicable Rating Agency has received the Rating Agency Confirmation request, and, if it has, promptly request the related Rating Agency Confirmation again.

transaction serviced by the applicable replacement master servicer or special servicer prior to the time of determination, if [RA3] is the non-responding Rating Agency.

Promptly following the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s determination to take any action discussed in this Section 3.25(a) following any requirement to obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation being deemed not to apply (as if such requirement did not exist), the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide electronic written notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider of the action taken for the particular item at such time, and the 17g-5 Information Provider shall promptly post such notice on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(c).


 


(b)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.25, for purposes of the provisions of any Mortgage Loan document or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan document relating to defeasance (including without limitation the type of collateral acceptable for use as defeasance collateral) or release or substitution of any collateral, any Rating Agency Confirmation requirement in the Mortgage Loan documents or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan documents for which the Master Servicer or Special Servicer would have been permitted to waive obtaining such Rating Agency Confirmation pursuant to Section 3.25(a) shall be deemed not to apply (as if such requirement did not exist).


 


(c)            For all other matters or actions not specifically discussed in Section 3.25(a) above, the applicable RAC Requesting Party shall deliver Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency.

The Companion Paying Agent undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement.


 


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

The Companion Paying Agent shall promptly provide the name and address of the Companion Holder to any party hereto or any successor Companion Holder upon written request and any such Person may, without further investigation, conclusively rely upon such information.

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

(d)            Any rights exercisable by the holder of the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan under this Agreement or the related Intercreditor Agreement with respect to the exercise of any right to replace the Special Servicer with respect to the Trust AB Whole Loan, cure rights, rights to post “threshold collateral” or purchase option rights shall be exercisable by the Subordinate Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder and any amounts payable, or actions required to be taken in connection with such exercise, shall be payable from or taken by such Subordinate Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder, as applicable. In addition, subject to the foregoing and applicable REMIC Provisions, the Subordinate Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder may direct the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee (as holder of the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan) and the holders of the Class [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Certificates to implement the [Junior Noteholder]’s (as defined in the related Intercreditor Agreement) exercise of any rights, to the extent that the [Junior Noteholder] is entitled to such rights under the related Intercreditor Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer be required to advance any cure payment or purchase price due under the related Intercreditor Agreement.


 


(e)            Prior to the Special Servicer (i) obtaining the consent of, or consulting with the Subordinate Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder to the extent provided for under the related Intercreditor Agreement, (ii) delivering any Asset Status Report to the Subordinate

Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder, (iii) permitting the exercise of any cure rights in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement, or (iv) permitting the Subordinate Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder to exercise any purchase option under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the Subordinate Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder shall have delivered to the Special Servicer an officer’s certificate in form and substance acceptable to the Special Servicer (with a copy to the Master Servicer), as applicable, stating such party is not the related Mortgagor or an affiliate of the related Mortgagor or acting on behalf of the related Mortgagor or one or more of its Affiliates.


 


(f)            Subject to Section 3.01(o), at any time the Trust AB Mortgage Loan is not part of the Trust, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall have no obligation to service the related Mortgage Loan and shall solely service the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan until the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan is removed from the Trust pursuant to Section 3.30(g) and shall have no obligation to make any Advance with respect to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan.


 


(g)            Within two (2) Business Days following the removal of the Trust AB Mortgage Loan from the Trust as a result of the sale of such Trust AB Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.18, the Special Servicer shall provide written notice (an “Exchange Election Notice”) to the Certificate Administrator who shall notify the Subordinate Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder that the Holders of all of the Class [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Certificates may unanimously elect to exchange their Certificates for the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan (an “Exchange”) by delivery of written notice (an “Acceptance Notice”) to the Depositor, Master Servicer, Special Servicer, Certificate Administrator and Trustee within 5 Business Days of receipt of the Exchange Election Notice.  In the event an Acceptance Notice is not delivered within such 5 Business Days, the Special Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to sell the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, for the fair value of such asset.  The Holders of such class of Certificates shall pay (from their own funds and not from amounts allocable from any portion of the Trust to such Class of Certificates) all costs and expenses of the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and Trustee incurred in connection with the Exchange.  The Exchange shall be subject to the reasonable procedures established by the Trustee and Certificate Registrar in connection with the Exchange.

By its acceptance of a Class [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Certificate or other Certificate, each holder of a Class [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Certificate or other Certificate will be deemed to have confirmed its agreement that the Subordinate Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder may take or refrain from taking actions, or give or refrain from giving any consents, that favor the interests of the appointing Certificateholder(s) over any other holder of 



-265-










such Class of Certificates or other Certificate, and that the Subordinate Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder may have special relationships and interests that conflict with the interests of other Holders of such Class of Certificates or any other Certificates, will be deemed to have agreed to take no action against any Subordinate Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder or any of its officers, directors, employees, principals or agents as a result of such special relationships or interests, and that any Subordinate Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder will not be deemed to have been grossly negligent or reckless, or to have acted in bad faith or engaged in willful misconduct or to have recklessly disregarded any exercise of its rights by reason of its having acted or refrained from acting, or having given any consent or having failed to give any consent, solely in the interests of the Holders of the Class [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Certificates.


 


(c)            Each Holder of a Class [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Certificate is hereby deemed to have agreed by virtue of its purchase of such a Certificate to provide its name and address to the Certificate Administrator and to notify the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor of the transfer of any such Certificate by delivering a notice to each such Person substantially in the form of Exhibit OO attached hereto, the selection of a Subordinate Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder or the resignation or removal thereof.

In the event that the Master Servicer is named in any Trust-Related Litigation but the Special Servicer is not named in such Trust-Related Litigation (regardless of whether the Trust is named in such Trust-Related Litigation), the Master Servicer shall notify the Special Servicer of such litigation as soon as practicable but in any event no later than within ten (10) Business Days of the Master Servicer receiving service of such Trust-Related Litigation.


 


(b)            To the extent the Master Servicer is named in Trust-Related Litigation, and neither the Trust nor the Special Servicer is named, in order to effectuate the role of the Special Servicer as contemplated by the immediately preceding subsection, the Master Servicer 



-266-










shall (i) provide monthly status reports to the Special Servicer, regarding such Trust-Related Litigation; (ii) seek to have the Trust replace the Master Servicer as the appropriate party to the lawsuit; and (iii) so long as the Master Servicer remains a party to the lawsuit, consult with and act at the direction of the Special Servicer with respect to decisions and resolutions related to the interests of the Trust in such Trust-Related Litigation, including but not limited to the selection of counsel; provided that the Master Servicer shall have the right to engage separate counsel relating to claims against the Master Servicer to the extent set forth in Section 3.32(e); and provided, however, if there are claims against the Master Servicer and the Master Servicer has not determined that separate counsel is required for such claims, such counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer.


 


(c)            The Special Servicer shall not (i) undertake any material settlement of any Trust-Related Litigation or (ii) initiate any material Trust-Related Litigation unless and until it has notified in writing the Directing Certificateholder (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) (to the extent the identity of the Directing Certificateholder is actually known to the Special Servicer; provided that the Special Servicer shall make due inquiry of the Certificate Administrator as to the identity of the Directing Certificateholder) and the related holder of any Serviced Companion Loan (if such matter affects such related Serviced Companion Loan) (to the extent the identity of the holder of such Serviced Companion Loan is actually known to the Special Servicer) and the Directing Certificateholder (prior to the occurrence and continuation of a Control Termination Event) has not objected in writing within five (5) Business Days of having been notified thereof and having been provided with all information that the Directing Certificateholder has reasonably requested with respect thereto promptly following its receipt of the subject notice (it being understood and agreed that if such written objection has not been received by the Special Servicer within such 5-Business Day period, then the Directing Certificateholder shall be deemed to have approved the taking of such action); provided that, if the Special Servicer determines (consistent with the Servicing Standard) that immediate action is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holders, the Special Servicer may take such action without waiting for the Directing Certificateholder’s response.


 


(d)            Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Special Servicer nor the Master Servicer shall follow any advice, direction or consultation provided by the Directing Certificateholder that would require or cause the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, to violate any applicable law, be inconsistent with the Servicing Standard, require or cause the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, to violate provisions of this Agreement, require or cause the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, to violate the terms of any Mortgage Loan, Serviced Whole Loan or Trust AB Whole Loan, expose any Certificateholder or any party to this Agreement or their Affiliates, officers, directors or agents to any claim, suit or liability, cause any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC, result in the imposition of a “prohibited transaction” or “prohibited contribution” tax under the REMIC Provisions or materially expand the scope of the Special Servicer’s or the Master Servicer’s, as applicable, responsibilities under this Agreement.


 


(e)            Notwithstanding the right of the Special Servicer to represent the interests of the Trust in Trust-Related Litigation, and subject to the rights of the Special Servicer to direct the Master Servicer’s actions in this Section 3.32 below, the Master Servicer shall retain the right 



-267-










to make determinations relating to claims against the Master Servicer, including but not limited to the right to engage separate counsel and to appear in any proceeding on its own behalf in the Master Servicer’s reasonable discretion, the cost of which shall be subject to indemnification as and to the extent provided in this Agreement.


 


(f)            Further, nothing in this section shall require the Master Servicer to take or fail to take any action which, in the Master Servicer’s good faith and reasonable judgment, may (i) result in a violation of the REMIC Provisions or (ii) subject the Master Servicer to liability or materially expand the scope of the Master Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement.


 


(g)            Notwithstanding the Master Servicer’s right to make determinations relating to claims against the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer shall have the right at any time in accordance with the Servicing Standard to (i) direct the Master Servicer to settle any claims asserted against the Master Servicer (whether or not the Trust or the Special Servicer is named in any such claims or Trust-Related Litigation) (and with respect to any material settlements, with the consent or consultation of the Directing Certificateholder prior to a Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event, respectively) and (ii) otherwise reasonably direct the actions of the Master Servicer relating to claims against the Master Servicer (whether or not the Trust or the Special Servicer is named in any such claims or Trust-Related Litigation), provided in either case that (A) such settlement or other direction does not require any admission of liability or wrongdoing on the part of the Master Servicer, (B) the cost of such settlement or any resulting judgment is and shall be paid by the Trust and payment of such cost or judgment is provided for in this Agreement, (C) the Master Servicer is and shall be indemnified as and to the extent provided in this Agreement for all costs and expenses of the Master Servicer incurred in defending and settling the Trust-Related Litigation and for any judgment, (D) any such action taken by the Master Servicer at the direction of the Special Servicer shall be deemed (as to the Master Servicer) to be in compliance with the Servicing Standard and (E) the Special Servicer provides the Master Servicer with assurance reasonably satisfactory to the Master Servicer as to the items in clauses (A), (B) and (C).


 


(h)            In the event both the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer or Trust are named in Trust-Related Litigation, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall cooperate with each other to afford the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer the rights afforded to such party in this Section 3.32.


 


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


 


Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) in the event that any action, suit, litigation or proceeding names the Trustee in its individual capacity, or in the event that any judgment is rendered against the Trustee in its individual capacity, the Trustee, upon prior written notice to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may retain counsel and appear in any such proceeding on its own behalf in order to protect and represent its interests (but not to otherwise direct, manage or prosecute such litigation or claim); (ii) in the event of any action, suit, litigation or proceeding, other than an action, suit, litigation or proceeding relating to the



-268-










enforcement of the obligations of a Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor under the related Mortgage Loan documents or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan documents, or otherwise relating to one or more Mortgage Loans or the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan or Mortgaged Properties, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall, without the prior written consent of the Trustee, (A) initiate an action, suit, litigation or proceeding in the name of the Trustee, whether in such capacity or individually, (B) engage counsel to represent the Trustee, or (C) prepare, execute or deliver any government filings, forms, permits, registrations or other documents or take any other similar actions with the intent to cause, and that actually causes, the Trustee to be registered to do business in any state (provided that neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be responsible for any delay due to the unwillingness of the Trustee to grant such consent); and (iii) in the event that any court finds that the Trustee is a necessary party in respect of any action, suit, litigation or proceeding relating to or arising from this Agreement or any Mortgage Loan or the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, the Trustee shall have the right to retain counsel and appear in any such proceeding on its own behalf in order to protect and represent its interests, whether as Trustee or individually (but not to otherwise direct, manage or prosecute such litigation or claim); provided, however, nothing in this subsection shall be interpreted to preclude the Special Servicer (with respect to any material Trust-Related Litigation, with the consent or consultation of the Directing Certificateholder prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event, respectively, to the extent required in Section 3.32(c), respectively) from initiating any action, suit, litigation or proceeding in its name as representative of the Trustee of the Trust.

If, in connection with any Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator has reported the amount of an anticipated distribution to DTC based on the receipt of payments as of the Determination Date and additional Periodic Payments, balloon payments or unscheduled principal payments are subsequently received by the Master Servicer and required to be part of the Available Funds for such Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Certificate Administrator and the Certificate Administrator will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause DTC to make the revised distribution on a timely basis on such Distribution Date.  None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator shall be liable or held responsible for any resulting delay in the making of such distribution to Certificateholders solely on the basis of the actions described in the preceding sentence.


 


(b)            On each Distribution Date, for so long as the Certificate Balance of the Class [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Certificates has not been reduced to zero, the Certificate Administrator shall apply amounts on deposit in the [LOAN-SPECIFIC] REMIC Distribution Account (which amounts shall be limited to amounts collected on the Trust AB Whole Loan and allocated pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan), related to the Class [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Certificates, to the extent of the [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Available Funds related to the Class [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Certificates, in the following order of priority:

-275-










distributable to the Holders of the respective Related Certificates as provided in Sections 4.01(a),  4.01(d), 4.01(f) and 4.01(i) such that at all times the Lower-Tier Principal Amount of each Class of Lower-Tier Regular Interests is equal to the Certificate Balance of the Class of Related Certificates.  On each Distribution Date, each Lower-Tier Regular Interest shall be deemed to receive distributions in respect of interest in an amount equal to the Interest Distribution Amount in respect of its Related Certificates plus a pro rata portion of the Interest Distribution Amount in respect of (i) in the case of the Class LA1, Class LA2, Class LA3, Class LA4, Class LA5, Class LASB and Class LAS Lower-Tier Regular Interests, the Class [X-A] Certificates, (ii) in the case of the Class LB Uncertificated Interest, the Class [X-B] Certificates, (iii) in the case of the Class LD Uncertificated Interest, the Class [X-D] Certificates, (iv) in the case of the Class LE Uncertificated Interest, the Class [X-E] Certificates, (v) in the case of the Class LF Uncertificated Interest, the Class [X-F] Certificates and (vi) in the case of the Class LNR Uncertificated Interests, the Class [X-NR] Certificates, in each case, computed based on an interest rate equal to the excess of the Weighted Average Net Mortgage Rate over the Pass-Through Rate of the Related Certificates and a notional amount equal to its related Lower-Tier Principal Amount, in each case to the extent actually distributable thereon as provided in Section 4.01(a).  Amounts distributable pursuant to this paragraph are referred to herein collectively as the “Lower-Tier Distribution Amount”, and shall be made by the Certificate Administrator by deeming such Lower-Tier Distribution Amount to be withdrawn from the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account to be deposited in the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account.


 


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


 


Any amount that remains in the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account on each Distribution Date after distribution of the Lower-Tier Distribution Amount, distribution of $100 to the beneficial owner of the Class [NON-OFFERED IO] Certificates on the first Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01(e) and distribution of Yield Maintenance Charges pursuant to Section 4.01(e)(iii) shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class [R] Certificates in respect of the Class LR Interest (but only to the extent of the Available Funds for such Distribution Date remaining in the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, if any).


 


(d)            On and after the Distribution Date on which the Certificate Balances of the Subordinate Certificates (and, if any exchange for the Class [EC] Certificates has occurred, the Class [EC] Certificates) have all been reduced to zero, any amounts representing reimbursements of Realized Losses previously allocated to such Classes, if available, will be distributed to the Senior Certificates pro rata based on their respective Certificate Balances.


 


(e)            (i) On each Distribution Date, Yield Maintenance Charges payable with respect to the Mortgage Loans calculated by reference to a U.S. treasury rate collected during the related Collection Period will be distributed by the Certificate Administrator to the Holders of each Class of Regular Certificates (excluding the Class [X-E], Class [X-F], Class [X-NR], 



-276-










Class [E], Class [F] and Class [NR] Certificates) in the following manner:  (1) pro rata, among (w) the Certificates in YM Group A, (x) the Certificates in YM Group B, (y) the Certificates in YM Group C and (z) the Certificates in YM Group D, based upon the aggregate of principal distributed to the Classes of Principal Balance Certificates in each such YM Group on such Distribution Date, and (2) as among the Classes of Certificates in each YM Group, in the following manner:  (A) the Holders of each Class of Principal Balance Certificates in such YM Group will be entitled to receive on each Distribution Date an amount of Yield Maintenance Charges payable with respect to the Mortgage Loans equal to the sum, for all Mortgage Loan prepayments, of the product of (a) a fraction whose numerator is the amount of principal distributed to such Class of Certificates on such Distribution Date and whose denominator is the total amount of principal distributed to all of the Regular Certificates in that YM Group representing principal payments in respect of the Mortgage Loans on such Distribution Date, (b) the Base Interest Fraction for the related Principal Prepayment and such Class of Regular Certificates, and (c) the Yield Maintenance Charges payable with respect to the Mortgage Loans collected during the related Collection Period and allocated to such YM Group, and (B) any Yield Maintenance Charges payable with respect to the Mortgage Loans allocated to such YM Group collected during the related Collection Period remaining after such distributions will be distributed (W) in the case of amounts distributable to YM Group A, to the Class [X-A] Certificates, (X) in the case of amounts distributable to YM Group B, to the Class [X-B] Certificates, (Y) in the case of amounts distributable to YM Group C, to the Class [X-C] Certificates and (Z) in the case of amounts distributable to YM Group D, to the Class [X-D] Certificates. If there is more than one such Class of Certificates entitled to distributions of principal on any particular Distribution Date on which Yield Maintenance Charges payable with respect to the Mortgage Loans are distributable, the aggregate amount of such Yield Maintenance Charges payable with respect to the Mortgage Loans will be allocated among all such Classes of Certificates up to, and on a pro rata basis in accordance with, their respective entitlements thereto in accordance with the first sentence of this paragraph.


 


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


 


(iii) All distributions of Yield Maintenance Charges made in respect of the respective Classes of Regular Certificates (other than the Class [X-C] Certificates) (including any portion passed through to the related component of Class [EC] Certificates) on each Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01(e)(i) shall first be deemed to be distributed from the Lower-Tier REMIC to the Upper-Tier REMIC in respect of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests (other than the Class [X-C] Certificates), pro rata based upon the amount of principal distributed in respect of each such Class of Lower-Tier Regular Interests for such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01(c) above.

(iv) On each Distribution Date, any Yield Maintenance Charges payable in respect of the Trust AB Whole Loan and received during the related Collection Period and allocable in respect of the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement shall be distributed to the Class [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Certificates.


 


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


 


(g)            All distributions made with respect to each Class of Certificates on each Distribution Date shall be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates in such Class based on their respective Percentage Interests.  Except as otherwise specifically provided in Sections 4.01(h), 4.01(i) and 9.01, all such distributions with respect to each Class on each Distribution Date shall be made to the Certificateholders of the respective Class of record at the close of business on the related Record Date and shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of any such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder shall have provided the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent Distribution Dates), or otherwise by check mailed to such Certificateholder at its address in the Certificate Register.  The final distribution on each Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to such Certificate) will be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.



-278-










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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders.  If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to this Section 4.01(h) shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six (6) months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto.  If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate.  The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds.  No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust hereunder by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with this Section 4.01(h).


 


(i)            Distributions in reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to the Regular Certificates shall be made in the amounts and manner specified in Section 4.01(a) or



-279-










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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


All distributions from the Companion Distribution Account required hereunder shall be made by the Companion Paying Agent to the related Companion Holder by wire transfer in immediately available funds on the Serviced Whole Loan Remittance Date to the account of such Companion Holder or an agent therefor appearing on the Companion Register on the related 



-280-










Record Date (or, if no such account so appears or information relating thereto is not provided at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by check sent by first class mail to the address of such Companion Holder or its agent appearing on the Companion Register).  Any such account shall be located at a commercial bank in the United States.


 


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

Such obligation of the Certificate Administrator shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent that substantially comparable information shall be provided by the Certificate Administrator pursuant to any requirements of the Code as from time to time are in force.


 


Upon receipt of a summary of any Asset Review Report from the Asset Representations Reviewer required to be delivered pursuant to Section 12.01(b), the Certificate Administrator shall include such summary in Item 1B on the Form 10-D for such period in which the Asset Review Report was delivered.


 


(b)            [Based on the Retention Certificates received by the Certificate Administrator in accordance with Section 3.33, the Certificate Administrator shall include the information required to be included as part of Item 7 of Part II on Form 10-D.] [INCLUDE FOR TRANSACTIONS THAT CLOSE ON OR AFTER DECEMBER 24, 2016]


 


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



-285-










pursuant to this subsection, any reasonable disclaimer with respect to information provided, or any assumptions required to be made by such report.


 


The Special Servicer shall from time to time (and, in any event, as may be reasonably required by the Master Servicer) provide the Master Servicer with such information in its possession regarding the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Properties as may be necessary for the Master Servicer to prepare each report and any supplemental information to be provided by the Master Servicer to the Certificate Administrator.  Neither the Certificate Administrator nor the Depositor shall have any obligation to recompute, verify or recalculate the information provided thereto by the Master Servicer.  Unless the Certificate Administrator has actual knowledge that any report or file received from the Master Servicer contains erroneous information, the Certificate Administrator is authorized to rely thereon in calculating and making distributions to Certificateholders in accordance with Section 4.01, preparing the Statement to Certificateholders required by Section 4.02(a) and allocating Realized Losses to the Certificates in accordance with Section 4.04.


 


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


 


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


 


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

Section 4.03                          P&I Advances.  (a)  On or before 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on each P&I Advance Date, the Master Servicer shall (i) remit to the Certificate Administrator for deposit from its own funds into the Lower Tier REMIC Distribution Account, an amount equal to the aggregate amount of P&I Advances, if any, with respect to the Mortgage Loans to be made in respect of the related Distribution Date or (ii) apply amounts held in the Collection Account, for future distribution to Certificateholders in subsequent months in discharge of any such obligation to make P&I Advances with respect to the Mortgage Loans aggregating the total amount of P&I Advances to be made.  Any amounts held in the Collection Account for future distribution and so used to make P&I Advances with respect to the Mortgage Loans shall be appropriately reflected in the Master Servicer’s records and replaced by the Master Servicer by deposit in the Collection Account on or before the next succeeding P&I Advance Date (to the extent not previously replaced through the deposit of Late Collections of the delinquent principal and/or interest in respect of which P&I Advances were made).  The Master Servicer shall notify the Certificate Administrator of (i) the aggregate amount of P&I Advances with respect to the Mortgage Loans for a Distribution Date and (ii) the amount of any Nonrecoverable P&I Advances with respect to the Mortgage Loans for such Distribution Date, on or before two (2) Business Days prior to such Distribution Date. If the Master Servicer fails to make a required P&I Advance by 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on any P&I Advance Date, the Trustee shall make such P&I Advance pursuant to Section 7.05 by noon, New York City time, on the related Distribution Date, unless the Master Servicer shall have cured such failure (and provided written notice of such cure to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator) by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such Distribution Date.  In the event that the Master Servicer fails to make a required P&I Advance hereunder, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Trustee of such circumstances by 4:30 p.m., New York City time, on the related P&I Advance Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the portion of any P&I Advance equal to the CREFC® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee for the related Mortgage Loans shall not be remitted to the Certificate Administrator for deposit into the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account but shall be deposited into the Collection Account for payment to CREFC® on such Distribution Date.


 


(b)            Subject to Section 4.03(c) and Section 4.03(e) below, the amount of P&I Advances to be made by the Master Servicer with respect to any Distribution Date and each Mortgage Loan, shall be equal to:  (i) the Periodic Payments (net of related Servicing Fees) other than Balloon Payments, that were due on the Mortgage Loans (including any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any REO Loan (other than any portion of an REO Loan related to a Companion Loan) during the related Collection Period and delinquent as of the close of business on the Business Day preceding the related P&I Advance Date (or not advanced by any Sub-Servicer on behalf of the Master Servicer) and (ii) with respect to each Mortgage Loan delinquent in respect of its Balloon Payment as of the P&I Advance Date (including any REO Loan (other than any portion of an REO Loan related to a Companion Loan) as to which the related Balloon Payment would have been past due), an amount equal to the Assumed Scheduled Payment therefor.  Subject to subsection (c) below, the obligation of the Master Servicer to make such P&I Advances is mandatory, and with respect to any Mortgage Loan (including any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or REO Loan (other than any portion of an REO Loan related to a Companion Loan), shall continue until the Distribution Date on which the proceeds, if any, received in connection with a Liquidation Event or the disposition of the REO Property, as the 



-287-










case may be, with respect thereto are to be distributed.  No P&I Advances shall be made with respect to any Companion Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan.


 


(c)            Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no P&I Advance shall be required to be made hereunder if such P&I Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance.  With respect to each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer will be required to make its determination (based on information provided by the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer and Non-Serviced Special Servicer) that it has made a P&I Advance on such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan that is a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance with respect to such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan independently of any determination made by the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer or the applicable Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as the case may be, under the applicable Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement in respect of the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan.  If the Master Servicer or Special Servicer determines that a proposed P&I Advance with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if made, or any outstanding P&I Advance with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan previously made, would be, or is, as applicable, a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Master Servicer shall provide the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer and Non-Serviced Special Servicer written notice of such determination within two (2) Business Days of the date of such determination.  If the Master Servicer receives written notice from the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as the case may be, that either has determined in accordance with the applicable Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement with respect to a Non-Serviced Companion Loan, that any proposed advance under the applicable Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement that is similar to a P&I Advance would be, or any outstanding advance under such Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement that is similar to a P&I Advance is, a nonrecoverable advance, then the Master Servicer or the Trustee may, based upon such determination, determine that any P&I Advance previously made or proposed to be made with respect to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, will be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance.  Thereafter, in either case, the Master Servicer shall not be required to make any additional P&I Advances with respect to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan unless and until the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, determines that any such additional P&I Advances with respect to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan would not be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, which determination may be as a result of consultation with the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as the case may be, or otherwise.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall have the sole discretion provided in this Agreement to determine that any future P&I Advance or outstanding P&I Advance would be, or is, as applicable, a Nonrecoverable Advance.


 


(d)            In connection with the recovery of any P&I Advance out of the Collection Account, pursuant to Section 3.05(a), the Master Servicer shall be entitled to pay the Trustee and itself (in that order of priority) as the case may be, out of any amounts then on deposit in the Collection Account (but in no event from any funds allocable to a Serviced Companion Noteholder or a Trust Subordinate Companion Loan (unless related thereto), except to the extent permitted pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement), interest at the Reimbursement Rate in effect from time to time, accrued on the amount of such P&I Advance from the date made to but not including the date of reimbursement; provided, however, that no interest will accrue on any P&I Advance (i) made with respect to a Mortgage Loan until after the



-288-










related Due Date has passed and any applicable Grace Period has expired or (ii) if the related Periodic Payment is received after the Determination Date but on or prior to the related P&I Advance Date.  The Master Servicer shall reimburse itself and/or the Trustee, as the case may be, for any outstanding P&I Advance, subject to Section 3.17 of this Agreement, as soon as practicably possible after funds available for such purpose are deposited in the Collection Account.


 


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


 


(f)            In no event shall either the Master Servicer or the Trustee be required to make a P&I Advance with respect to any Companion Loan.


 


Section 4.04                          Allocation of Realized Losses.  (a)  On each Distribution Date, immediately following the distributions to be made on such date pursuant to Section 4.01, the Certificate Administrator shall calculate the amount, if any, by which (X)(i) the aggregate Stated Principal Balance (for purposes of this calculation only, not giving effect to any reductions of the Stated Principal Balance for payments of principal collected on the Mortgage Loans that were used to reimburse any Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(v) to the extent such Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts are not otherwise determined to be Nonrecoverable Advances) of the Mortgage Loans and any REO Loans (excluding any portion allocable to any related Companion Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, if applicable) expected to be outstanding immediately following such Distribution Date, is less than (ii) the then aggregate Certificate Balance of the Principal Balance Certificates [(other than the Class [A-S], Class [B] and Class [C] Certificates)] and Class [EC] Components after giving effect to distributions of principal on such Distribution Date (any such deficit, the “Realized Loss”) and (Y) with respect to each Trust Subordinate Companion Loan (i) the Stated Principal Balance of such Trust Subordinate Companion Loan (including the assumed Stated Principal Balance if such Trust Subordinate Companion Loan has become an 



-289-










REO Loan) expected to be outstanding immediately following such Distribution Date is less than (ii) the aggregate Certificate Balance of the Class [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Certificates after giving effect to distributions of principal on such Distribution Date (any such deficit with respect to the Class [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Certificates, the “[LOAN-SPECIFIC] Realized Loss”).  Any allocation of Realized Losses to a Class of Regular Certificates or of [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Realized Losses to the Class [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Certificates, as applicable, shall be made by reducing the Certificate Balance thereof by the amount so allocated.  Any Realized Losses or [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Realized Losses, as applicable, so allocated to a Class of Regular Certificates or Class [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Certificates, as applicable, shall be allocated among the respective Certificates of such Class in proportion to the Percentage Interests evidenced thereby.  The allocation of Realized Losses or [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Realized Losses, as applicable, shall constitute an allocation of losses and other shortfalls experienced by the Trust.  Reimbursement of previously allocated Realized Losses or [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Realized Losses, as applicable, will not constitute distributions of principal for any purpose and will not result in an additional reduction in the Certificate Balance of the Class of Certificates in respect of which any such reimbursement is made.  With respect to any Class of Principal Balance Certificates, to the extent any Nonrecoverable Advances (plus interest thereon) that were reimbursed from principal collections on the Mortgage Loans and previously resulted in a reduction of the Principal Distribution Amount are subsequently recovered on the related Mortgage Loan, the amount of such recovery will be added to the Certificate Balance of the Class or Classes of Principal Balance Certificates that previously were allocated Realized Losses, in sequential order, in each case up to the amount of the unreimbursed Realized Losses allocated to such Class of Principal Balance Certificates.


 


(b)            On each Distribution Date, the Certificate Balances of the Principal Balance Certificates and the Class [EC] Components will be reduced without distribution, as a write-off to the extent of any Realized Losses, if any, allocable to such Certificates and Class [EC] Components with respect to such Distribution Date.  Any such write off shall be allocated first, to the Class [NR] Certificates, second, to the Class [F] Certificates, third, to the Class [E] Certificates, fourth, to the Class [D] Certificates, fifth, to the Class [C] Regular Interest (and correspondingly, to the Class [C] Certificates and the Class [EC] certificates, pro rata based on their respective percentage interests in the Class [C] Regular Interest), sixth, to the Class [B] Regular Interest (and correspondingly, to the Class [B] Certificates and the Class [EC] certificates, pro rata based on their respective percentage interests in the Class [B] Regular Interest); seventh, to the Class [A] Class [EC] Components (and correspondingly, to the Class [A] Certificates and the Class [EC] certificates, pro rata based on their respective percentage interests in the Class [A] Class [EC] Components) and then, pro rata (based on their respective Certificate Balances), Class [A-1], Class [A-2], Class [A-3], Class [A-4], Class [A-5] and Class [A-SB] Certificates, in each case until the remaining Certificate Balances of such Classes of Certificates have been reduced to zero. On each Distribution Date, the Certificate Balance of the Class [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Certificates will be reduced without distribution as a write-off to the extent of any [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Realized Losses attributable to the related Trust Subordinate Companion Loan in accordance with Section 4.04(a). Any such write-off with respect to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan shall be allocated to the Class [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Certificates until the remaining Certificate Balance of such Class has been reduced to zero.



-290-










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


 


(d)            With respect to each Class of Exchangeable Certificates and the Class [EC] Certificates, for purposes of determining allocations and distributions under Section 4.01(a) of this Agreement as between the Exchangeable Certificates and the Class [EC] Certificates and this Section 4.04, all allocations of Realized Losses to each Class of Exchangeable Certificates for any Distribution Date shall be determined without regard to any exchange of such Exchangeable Certificates for Class [EC] Certificates; provided, however, that all amounts of Realized Losses that would otherwise be allocable to Exchangeable Certificates that have been exchanged for Class [EC] Certificates shall be allocated to such Class [EC] Certificates, without duplication.


 


Section 4.05                          Appraisal Reduction Amounts.  (a)  For purposes of (x) determining the Controlling Class (and whether a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing) and (y) determining the Voting Rights of the related Classes for purposes of removal of the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, Appraisal Reduction Amounts (with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, to the extent allocated to the related Mortgage Loan) will be allocated to each Class of Certificates (other than the Class [EC] and each Class [EC] Components) in reverse sequential order to notionally reduce the related Certificate Balances until the Certificate Balance of each such Class is reduced to zero (i.e., first, to Class [__] certificates, second, to the Class [__] certificates, third, to the Class [__] certificates, fourth, to the Class [A-S] Regular Interest (and correspondingly, to the Class [A-S] certificates and the Class [EC] certificates, pro rata based on their respective percentage interests in the Class [A-S] Regular Interest), fifth, to the Class [B] Regular Interest (and correspondingly, to the Class [B] certificates and the Class [EC] certificates, pro rata based on their respective percentage interests in the Class [B] Regular Interest), sixth, to the Class [C] Regular Interest (and correspondingly, to the Class [C] certificates and the Class [EC] certificates, pro rata based on their respective percentage interests in the Class [C] Regular Interest), and finally, pro rata based on their respective interest entitlements, to the Senior Certificates).  Following receipt from the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer shall notify the Certificate Administrator of the amount of any Appraisal Reduction Amount with respect to each Mortgage Loan and Trust Subordinate Companion Loan (which notification may be satisfied through delivery of such information included in the CREFC® Loan Periodic Update File or the CREFC® Appraisal Reduction Amount Template included in the CREFC® Investor Reporting Package).  Based on information in its possession, the Certificate Administrator shall determine from time to time which Class of Certificates is the Controlling Class.  The Certificate Administrator shall provide notice of the identity of the Controlling Class as set forth in Section 3.23(m). With respect to any Appraisal Reduction Amount calculated for purposes of determining the Controlling Class, the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property will be determined on an “as-is” basis.


 


(b)            (i)  The Holders of the majority of Voting Rights of any Class of Control Eligible Certificates that is determined at any time of determination to no longer be the Controlling Class (any such Class, an “Appraised-Out Class”) as a result of an Appraisal Reduction Amount in respect of such Class shall have the right, at their sole expense, to require 



-291-










the Special Servicer to order a second Appraisal with respect to any Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan) for which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred (such Holders, the “Requesting Holders”).  The Special Servicer shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that such second Appraisal is delivered within thirty (30) days from receipt of the Requesting Holders’ written request and shall ensure that such Appraisal is prepared on an “as-is” basis by an MAI appraiser (provided that such MAI appraiser may not be the same MAI appraiser that provided the Appraisal in respect of which the Requesting Holders are requesting the Special Servicer to obtain an additional Appraisal).


 


(ii) Upon receipt of any supplemental Appraisal pursuant to clause (i) above, the Special Servicer shall determine, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, whether, based on its assessment of such supplemental Appraisal, any recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount is warranted, and if so warranted, the Special Servicer shall recalculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount based on such supplemental appraisal.  If required by such recalculation, the Appraised-Out Class shall be reinstated as the Controlling Class and each other Appraised-Out Class shall, if applicable, have its related Certificate Balance notionally restored to the extent required by such recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount. The Holders of an Appraised-Out Class requesting any supplemental Appraisal pursuant to clause (i) above shall refrain from exercising any direction, control, consent and/or similar rights of the Controlling Class until such time, if any, as the Class is reinstated as the Controlling Class (such period beginning upon receipt by the Special Servicer of any request to obtain a supplemental Appraisal pursuant to clause (i) above to but excluding the date on which either (A) the Special Servicer determines that no recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount is warranted or (B) the Special Servicer recalculates the Appraisal Reduction Amount based on the supplemental Appraisal, the “Appraisal Review Period”).  The rights of the Controlling Class during each Appraisal Review Period shall be exercised by the most senior Control Eligible Certificates, if any.


 


(c)            With respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), the Trust AB Whole Loan and each Serviced Whole Loan as to which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred (unless such Mortgage Loan, Serviced Whole Loan or Trust AB Whole Loan has become a Corrected Loan (for such purposes taking into account any amendment or modification of such Mortgage Loan, any related Companion Loan, Trust Subordinate Companion Loan or Serviced Whole Loan)), the Special Servicer shall (1) within thirty (30) days of each anniversary of the related Appraisal Reduction Event, and (2) upon its determination that the value of the related Mortgaged Property has materially changed, notify the Master Servicer of the occurrence of such anniversary or determination and order an Appraisal (which may be an update of a prior Appraisal), the cost of which shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance or to the extent it would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, an expense of the Trust, or conduct an internal valuation, as applicable and, promptly following receipt of any such Appraisal or performance of such valuation (or receipt of any Appraisal obtained in accordance with Section 4.05(b) above), shall deliver a copy thereof to the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor and, prior to the occurrence of any Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder.  Based upon such Appraisal or internal valuation (or any Appraisal obtained in accordance with Section 4.05(b) above) and receipt of information reasonably requested by the Special Servicer 



-292-










from the Master Servicer necessary to calculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount that is either in the Master Servicer’s possession or reasonably obtainable by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer shall determine or redetermine, as applicable, and report to the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor and, prior to the occurrence of any Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder, the amount and calculation or recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount with respect to such Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan, Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, Serviced Whole Loan or Trust AB Whole Loan, as applicable, and such report shall be delivered in the CREFC® Appraisal Reduction Amount Template format; provided, however, that the Special Servicer shall not be liable for failure to comply with such duties insofar as such failure results from a failure of the Master Servicer to provide sufficient information to the Special Servicer to comply with such duties or failure by the Master Servicer to otherwise comply with its obligations hereunder.  Such report shall also be forwarded by the Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer if the related Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan), to the extent the related Serviced Companion Loan has been included in an Other Securitization, to the Other Servicer of such Other Securitization into which the related Serviced Companion Loan has been sold, or to the holder of any related Serviced Companion Loan by the Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer if the related Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan).  If the Special Servicer is required to redetermine the Appraisal Reduction Amount, such redetermined Appraisal Reduction Amount shall replace the prior Appraisal Reduction Amount with respect to such Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan, Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, Serviced Whole Loan or Trust AB Whole Loan, as applicable.  Prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the Special Servicer shall consult with the Directing Certificateholder with respect to any Appraisal, valuation or downward adjustment in connection with an Appraisal Reduction Amount.  Notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to Section 4.05(b), the Special Servicer will not be required to obtain an Appraisal or conduct an internal valuation, as applicable, with respect to a Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan, Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, Serviced Whole Loan or Trust AB Whole Loan as to which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred to the extent the Special Servicer has obtained an Appraisal or conducted such a valuation (in accordance with requirements of this Agreement), as applicable, with respect to the related Mortgaged Property within the twelve-month period immediately prior to the occurrence of such Appraisal Reduction Event.  Instead, the Special Servicer may use such prior Appraisal or valuation, as applicable, in calculating any Appraisal Reduction Amount with respect to such Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan, Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, Serviced Whole Loan or Trust AB Whole Loan; provided that the Special Servicer is not aware of any material change to the related Mortgaged Property having occurred and affecting the validity of such Appraisal or valuation.


 


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



-293-










provide such information to the Special Servicer within four (4) Business Days following the Special Servicer’s reasonable request.


 


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


 


(e)            Each Serviced Whole Loan and the Trust AB Whole Loan will be treated as a single Mortgage Loan for purposes of calculating an Appraisal Reduction Amount with respect to the Mortgage Loan and Companion Loan(s) (or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan) that comprise such Serviced Whole Loan (or Trust AB Whole Loan, as applicable).  Any Appraisal Reduction Amount in respect of a Serviced AB Whole Loan (or Trust AB Whole Loan) will be allocated in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement or, if no allocation is specified in the related Intercreditor Agreement, then, first, to the related AB Subordinate Companion Loan (or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, as applicable) (until its principal balance is notionally reduced to zero by such Appraisal Reduction Amounts) and second, to the related AB Mortgage Loan (or Trust AB Mortgage Loan, as applicable).  Any Appraisal Reduction Amount in respect of any Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan will be allocated in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement or, if no allocation is specified in the related Intercreditor Agreement, then, pro rata, between the related Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan and the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, based upon their respective Stated Principal Balances.


 


Section 4.06                          Grantor Trust Reporting.  (a) The parties intend that the portions of the Trust Fund constituting the Grantor Trust, shall constitute, and that the affairs of the Trust (exclusive of the Lower-Tier REMIC, the Upper-Tier REMIC and [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Trust Subordinate Companion Loan REMIC) shall be conducted so as to qualify such portion as, a “grantor trust” under subpart E, part I of subchapter J of the Code, and the provisions hereof shall be interpreted consistently with this intention.  In furtherance of such intention, neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall have the power to vary the investment of the Class [EC] and Class [ARD] Certificateholders in the Grantor Trust so as to improve their rate of return.  The Certificate Administrator shall prepare or cause to be prepared, submit to the Trustee for execution (and the Trustee shall timely execute and timely return to the Certificate Administrator) and timely file all Tax Returns in respect of the Grantor Trust.  In addition, the Certificate Administrator shall (A) file, or cause to be filed, Internal Revenue Service Form 1041 (or, in the event the Grantor Trust is a WHFIT, information will be provided on Form 1099) or such other form as may be applicable with the Internal Revenue Service with copies of the statements in the following clause and (B) furnish, or cause to be furnished, to the Class [EC] and Class [ARD] Certificateholders, their allocable share of income and expense with respect to 



-294-










the Exchangeable Certificates and the Class [EC] Distribution Account, and the Excess Interest and Excess Interest Distribution Account, respectively, in the time or times and in the manner required by the Code.


 


(b)            The Grantor Trust is a WHFIT that is a WHMT.  The Certificate Administrator will report as required under the WHFIT Regulations to the extent such information as is reasonably necessary to enable the Certificate Administrator to do so is provided to the Certificate Administrator on a timely basis.  The Certificate Administrator is hereby directed to assume that DTC is the only “middleman” as defined by the WHFIT Regulations unless the Depositor provides the Certificate Administrator with the identities of other “middlemen” that are Certificateholders.  The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to indemnification in accordance with the terms of this Agreement in the event that the Internal Revenue Service makes a determination that the first sentence of this paragraph is incorrect.


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


Section 4.07                          Investor Q&A Forum; Investor Registry; and Rating Agency Q&A Forum and Document Request Tool.  (a)  The Certificate Administrator shall make available, only to Privileged Persons, the Investor Q&A Forum.  The “Investor Q&A Forum” shall be a 



-295-










service available on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, where (i) Certificateholders and beneficial owners of Certificates that are Privileged Persons may submit questions to (A) the Certificate Administrator relating to the Statement to Certificateholders, (B) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, relating to the reports being made available pursuant to Section 3.13(b), the Mortgage Loans (excluding any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or the related Mortgaged Properties or (C) the Operating Advisor relating to the Operating Advisor Annual Report or other reports prepared by the Operating Advisor or actions by the Special Servicer referenced in any Operating Advisor Annual Report (each an “Inquiry” and collectively, “Inquiries”), and (ii) Privileged Persons may view Inquiries that have been previously submitted and answered, together with the answers thereto.  Upon receipt of an Inquiry for the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, Certificate Administrator or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, and in the case of any Inquiry relating to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or related Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as applicable, the Certificate Administrator shall forward the Inquiry to the appropriate person (in the case of the Master Servicer to the following:  [EMAIL ADDRESS]), in each case within a commercially reasonable period of time following receipt thereof.  Following receipt of an Inquiry, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, unless such party determines not to answer such Inquiry as provided below, shall reply to the Inquiry, which reply of the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, shall be delivered to the Certificate Administrator by electronic mail.  In the case of an Inquiry relating to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Certificate Administrator shall make reasonable efforts to obtain an answer from the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as applicable; provided that the Certificate Administrator shall not be responsible for the content of such answer or any delay or failure to obtain such answer.  The Certificate Administrator shall post (within a commercially reasonable period of time following preparation or receipt of such answer, as the case may be) such Inquiry and the related answer to the Certificate Administrator’s Website.  If the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor determines, in its respective sole discretion, that (i) any Inquiry is beyond the scope of the topics described above, (ii) answering any Inquiry would not be in the best interests of the Trust and/or the Certificateholders, (iii) answering any Inquiry would be in violation of applicable law, the applicable Mortgage Loan documents or this Agreement, (iv) answering any Inquiry would materially increase the duties of, or result in significant additional cost or expense to, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, (v) answering any Inquiry would require the disclosure of Privileged Information (subject to the Privileged Information Exception, or (vi) answering any Inquiry is otherwise, for any reason, not advisable, it shall not be required to answer such Inquiry and, in the case of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, shall promptly notify the Certificate Administrator of such determination.  In addition, no party shall post or otherwise disclose any direct communications with the Directing Certificateholder as part of its response to any Inquiries.  The Certificate Administrator shall notify the Person who submitted such Inquiry in the event that the Inquiry will not be answered.  Any notice by the Certificate Administrator to the Person who submitted an Inquiry that will not be answered shall include the following statement:  “Because the Pooling and Servicing Agreement provides that the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Operating Advisor shall not answer an Inquiry if it determines, in its respective sole discretion, that (i) any Inquiry is beyond the scope 



-296-










of the topics described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (ii) answering any Inquiry would not be in the best interests of the Trust and/or the Certificateholders, (iii) answering any Inquiry would be in violation of applicable law or the applicable Mortgage Loan documents, (iv) answering any Inquiry would materially increase the duties of, or result in significant additional costs or expenses to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or Operating Advisor, as applicable, (v) answering any Inquiry would require the disclosure of Privileged Information, or (vi) answering any Inquiry is otherwise, for any reason, not advisable, no inference should or may be drawn from the fact that the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Operating Advisor has declined to answer the Inquiry.”  Answers posted on the Investor Q&A Forum will be attributable only to the respondent, and shall not be deemed to be answers from any of the Depositor, the Underwriters or any of their respective Affiliates.  None of the Underwriters, Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Operating Advisor or any of their respective Affiliates will certify to any of the information posted in the Investor Q&A Forum and no such party shall have any responsibility or liability for the content of any such information.  The Certificate Administrator shall not be required to post to the Certificate Administrator’s Website any Inquiry or answer thereto that the Certificate Administrator determines, in its sole discretion, is administrative or ministerial in nature.  The Investor Q&A Forum will not reflect questions, answers and other communications that are not submitted via the Certificate Administrator’s Website.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Operating Advisor shall not be required to respond to any Inquiries from Certificateholders for which its response would require the Operating Advisor to provide information to such inquiring Certificateholders that they are otherwise not entitled to receive under the terms of this Agreement.


 


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


 


(c)            The 17g-5 Information Provider shall make available, only to NRSROs, the Rating Agency Q&A Forum and Document Request Tool.  The “Rating Agency Q&A 



-297-










Forum and Document Request Tool” shall be a service available on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website, where NRSROs may (i) submit questions to the Certificate Administrator relating to any Statements to Certificateholders, or submit questions to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, relating to the reports prepared by such parties (each such submission, a “Rating Agency Inquiry”), and (ii) view Rating Agency Inquiries that have been previously submitted and answered, together with the responses thereto.  In addition, NRSROs may use the forum to submit requests (each such submission also, a “Rating Agency Inquiry”) to the Master Servicer for loan-level reports and other related information.  Upon receipt of a Rating Agency Inquiry for the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, the 17g-5 Information Provider shall forward the Rating Agency Inquiry to the appropriate person (in the case of the Master Servicer to the following:  [EMAIL ADDRESS]), in each case within a commercially reasonable period of time following receipt thereof.  Following receipt of a Rating Agency Inquiry from the 17g-5 Information Provider, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, unless it determines not to answer such Rating Agency Inquiry as provided below, shall reply by email to the Certificate Administrator.  The 17g-5 Information Provider shall post (within a commercially reasonable period of time following receipt of such response) such Rating Agency Inquiry with the related response thereto (or such reports, as applicable) to the Rating Agency Q&A Forum and Document Request Tool.  Any reports posted by the 17g-5 Information Provider in response to an inquiry may be posted on a separate website or web page accessible by a link on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website.  If the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer determines, in its respective sole discretion, that (i) answering any Rating Agency Inquiry would be in violation of applicable law, the Servicing Standard, this Agreement or any Mortgage Loan documents, (ii) answering any Rating Agency Inquiry would or is reasonably expected to result in a waiver of an attorney-client privilege with, or the disclosure of attorney work product, or (iii) (A) answering any Rating Agency Inquiry would materially increase the duties of, or result in significant additional cost or expense to, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and (B) the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard (or in good faith, in the case of the Certificate Administrator) that the performance of such duties or the payment of such costs and expenses is beyond the scope of its duties in its capacity as Certificate Administrator, Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, under this Agreement, it shall not be required to answer such Rating Agency Inquiry and shall promptly notify the 17g-5 Information Provider by email of such determination.  The 17g-5 Information Provider shall promptly thereafter post the Rating Agency Inquiry with the reason it was not answered to the Rating Agency Q&A Forum and Document Request Tool.  The 17g-5 Information Provider will not be liable for the failure by any other such Person to so answer.  Questions posted on the Rating Agency Q&A Forum and Document Request Tool shall not be attributed to the submitting NRSRO.  Answers posted on the Rating Agency Q&A Forum and Document Request Tool will be attributable only to the respondent, and shall not be deemed to be answers from any other person.

(a)  The Certificates will be substantially in the respective forms annexed hereto as Exhibits A-1 through and including A-24, 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 Class [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Certificates will be issued in minimum denominations of $100,000 and integral multiples of $1 in excess of $100,000.  The Class X Certificates will be issuable only in minimum Denominations of authorized initial Notional Amount of not less than $1,000,000 and in integral multiples of $1.00 in excess thereof.  The Offered Certificates (other than the Class [X-A] Certificates and Class [X-B] Certificates) will be issuable only in minimum Denominations of authorized initial Certificate Balance of not less than $10,000, and in integral multiples of $1.00 in excess thereof.  The Non-Registered Certificates (other than the Class [X-C], Class [X-D], Class [X-E], Class [X-F], Class [X-NR], Class [R] and Class [ARD] Certificates) will be issuable in minimum Denominations of authorized initial Certificate Balance of not less than $100,000, and in integral multiples of $1.00 in excess thereof.  If the Original Certificate Balance or initial Notional Amount, as applicable, of any Class does not equal an integral multiple of $1.00, then a single additional Certificate of such Class may be issued in a minimum denomination of authorized initial Certificate Balance or initial Notional Amount, as applicable, that includes the excess of (i) the Original Certificate Balance or initial Notional Amount, as applicable, of such Class over (ii) the largest integral multiple of $1.00 that does not exceed such amount.  The Class [R] and Class [ARD] Certificates shall be issued, maintained and transferred in minimum percentage interests of 10% of such Class [R] or Class [ARD] Certificates and in integral multiples of 1% in excess thereof.


 


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


 


Section 5.02                          Form and Registration.  No transfer of any Non-Registered Certificate shall be made unless that transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, and effective registration or qualification under applicable 



-299-










state securities laws, or is made in a transaction which does not require such registration or qualification.  If a transfer (other than one by the Depositor to an Affiliate thereof or by the Initial Purchasers to [DIRECTING CERTIFICATEHOLDER]) is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the Securities Act, and under the applicable state securities laws, then either:


 


(a)            Each Class of the Non-Registered Certificates sold to institutions that are non-United States Securities Persons in Offshore Transactions in reliance on Regulation S under the Act shall initially be represented by a temporary book-entry 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 Book-Entry Certificate”), which shall be deposited on the Closing Date on behalf of the purchasers of the Non-Registered 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 Book-Entry Certificate may be held only through Euroclear or Clearstream.  After the expiration of the Restricted Period, a beneficial interest in a Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate may be exchanged for an interest in the related Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate in the applicable form set forth as an exhibit hereto in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 5.03(f).  During the Restricted Period, distributions due in respect of a beneficial interest in a Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate shall only be made upon delivery to the Certificate Registrar by Euroclear or Clearstream, as applicable, of a Non-U.S. Beneficial Ownership Certification.  After the expiration of the Restricted Period, distributions due in respect of any beneficial interests in a Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate shall not be made to the holders of such beneficial interests unless exchange for a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate of the same Class is improperly withheld or refused.  The aggregate Certificate Balance of a Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or a Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the Depository, as hereinafter provided.


 


On the Closing Date, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate, and the Certificate Administrator shall deliver to the Certificate Registrar the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificates, which shall be held by the Certificate Registrar for purposes of effecting the exchanges contemplated by the preceding paragraph.  [CERTIFICATE ADMINISTRATOR] is hereby initially appointed the Authenticating Agent with the power to act, on the Trustee’s behalf, in the authentication and delivery of the Certificates in connection with transfers and exchanges as herein provided.  If [CERTIFICATE ADMINISTRATOR] is removed as Certificate Administrator, then [CERTIFICATE ADMINISTRATOR] shall be terminated as Authenticating Agent.  If the Authenticating Agent is terminated, the Trustee shall appoint a successor authenticating agent, which may be the Trustee or an Affiliate thereof.


 


The Class [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Certificates shall not be offered in Offshore Transactions in reliance on Regulation S under the Act.



-300-










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


 


(c)            Certificates of each Class of Non-Registered Certificates that are initially offered and sold to investors that are Institutional Accredited Investors that are not Qualified Institutional Buyers (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.  The Class [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Certificates shall not be offered, sold or transferred to investors that are Institutional Accredited Investors who are not also Qualified Institutional Buyers.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Class [R] Certificates shall only be in the form of Definitive Certificates.


 


(d)            Owners of beneficial interests in Book-Entry Certificates of any Class shall not be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificated Certificates unless:  (i) the Depository advises the Certificate Registrar in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities as depository with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates of such Class or ceases to be a Clearing Agency, and the Certificate Registrar and the Depository are unable to locate a qualified successor within ninety (90) days of such notice or (ii) the Trustee has instituted or has been directed to institute any judicial proceeding to enforce the rights of the Holders of such Class and the Trustee has been advised by counsel that in connection with such proceeding it is necessary or appropriate for the Certificate Registrar to obtain possession of the Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that under no circumstances will certificated Non-Registered Certificates be issued to beneficial owners of a Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate.  Upon notice of the occurrence of any of the events described in clause (i) or (ii) above with respect to any Certificates of a Class that are in the form of Book-Entry Certificates and upon surrender by the Depository of any Book-Entry Certificate of such Class and receipt from the Depository of instructions for re-registration, the Certificate Registrar shall issue Certificates of such Class in the form of Definitive Certificates (bearing, in the case of a Definitive Certificate issued for a Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate, the same legends regarding transfer restrictions borne by such Book-Entry Certificate), and thereafter the Certificate Registrar shall recognize the Holders of such Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders under this Agreement.  Unless and until Definitive Certificates are issued in respect of a Class of Book-Entry Certificates, beneficial ownership interests in such Class of Certificates will be maintained and transferred on the book entry records of the Depository and Depository Participants, and all references to actions by Holders of such Class of Certificates will refer to action taken by the Depository upon instructions received from the related registered Holders of Certificates through the Depository Participants in accordance with the Depository’s procedures and, except as otherwise set forth herein, all references herein to payments, notices, 



-301-










reports and statements to Holders of such Class of Certificates will refer to payments, notices, reports and statements to the Depository or its nominee as the registered Holder thereof, for distribution to the related registered Holders of Certificates through the Depository Participants in accordance with the Depository’s procedures.

Upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, at its office designated in Section 5.07 hereof, of (1) instructions given in accordance with the Depository’s procedures from a Depository Participant directing the Certificate Registrar to credit, or cause to be credited, a beneficial interest in the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate in an amount equal to the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate to be exchanged, (2) a written order given in accordance with the Depository’s procedures containing information regarding the Euroclear or Clearstream account to be credited with such increase and the name of such account and (3) a certificate in the form of Exhibit I hereto given by the holder of such beneficial interest stating that the transfer of such interest has been made in compliance with the transfer restrictions applicable to the Book-Entry Certificates and pursuant to and in accordance with Regulation S, then the Certificate Registrar shall instruct the Depository to reduce, or cause to be reduced, the Certificate Balance of the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate and to increase, or cause to be increased, the Certificate Balance of the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate by the aggregate Certificate Balance of the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate to be exchanged, to credit or cause to 



-302-

-303-










Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate to a Person who is required to take delivery thereof in the form of an interest in the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate, such holder may, subject to the rules and procedures of Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, and the Depository, exchange or cause the exchange of such interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate of the same Class.  Upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, at its office designated in Section 5.07 hereof, of (1) instructions from Euroclear or Clearstream, if applicable, and the Depository, directing the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate equal to the beneficial interest in the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate to be exchanged, such instructions to contain information regarding the participant account with the Depository to be credited with such increase, (2) with respect to a transfer of an interest in the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate, information regarding the participant account of the Depository to be debited with such decrease and (3) with respect to a transfer of an interest in the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate for an interest in the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate (i) during the Restricted Period, a certificate in the form of Exhibit K hereto given by the holder of such beneficial interest and stating that the Person transferring such interest in the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate reasonably believes that the Person acquiring such interest in the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate is a Qualified Institutional Buyer or (ii) after the Restricted Period, an Investment Representation Letter in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto from the transferee to the effect that such transferee is a Qualified Institutional Buyer (an “Investment Representation Letter”) and is obtaining such beneficial interest in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A, then the Certificate Registrar shall instruct the Depository to reduce, or cause to be reduced, the Certificate Balance of the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate and to increase, or cause to be increased, the Certificate Balance of the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate by the aggregate Certificate Balance of the beneficial interest in the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate to be exchanged, and the Certificate Registrar shall instruct the Depository, concurrently with such reduction, to credit, or cause to be credited, to the account of the Person specified in such instructions, a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate equal to the reduction in the Certificate Balance of the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate and to debit, or cause to be debited, from the account of the Person making such transfer the beneficial interest in the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate that is being transferred.


 


(f)            Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate to Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate.  Interests in a Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry 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 L hereto from the holder of a beneficial interest in such Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate, shall be exchanged after the Restricted Period, for interests in the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate of the same Class.  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 Book-Entry Certificate, representing the aggregate Certificate Balance of interests in the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate initially exchanged for interests in the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate.  The delivery to the Certificate Registrar 



-304-










by Euroclear or Clearstream of the certificate or certificates referred to above may be relied upon by the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar as conclusive evidence that the certificate or certificates referred to therein has or have been delivered to Euroclear or Clearstream pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate.  Upon any exchange of interests in the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate for interests in the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall endorse the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate to reflect the reduction in the Certificate Balance represented thereby by the amount so exchanged and shall endorse the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate to reflect the corresponding increase in the amount represented thereby.  Until so exchanged in full and except as provided therein, the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate, and the Certificates evidenced thereby, shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate and Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate authenticated and delivered hereunder.


 


(g)            Non-Book Entry Certificate to Book-Entry Certificate.  If a holder of a Non-Book Entry Certificate (other than a Class [R] Certificate) wishes at any time to exchange its interest in such Non-Book Entry Certificate for an interest in a Book-Entry Certificate of the same Class, or to transfer all or part of such Non-Book Entry Certificate to a Person who is entitled to take delivery thereof in the form of an interest in a Book-Entry Certificate, such holder may, subject to the rules and procedures of Euroclear or Clearstream, if applicable, and the Depository, cause the exchange of all or part of such Non-Book Entry Certificate for an equivalent beneficial interest in the appropriate Book-Entry Certificate of the same Class.  Upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, at its office designated in Section 5.07 hereof, of (1) such Non-Book Entry Certificate, duly endorsed as provided herein, (2) instructions from such holder directing the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, to credit, or cause to be credited, a beneficial interest in the applicable Book-Entry Certificate equal to the portion of the Certificate Balance of the Non-Book Entry Certificate to be exchanged, such instructions to contain information regarding the participant account with the Depository to be credited with such increase and (3) a certificate in the form of Exhibit M hereto (in the event that the applicable Book-Entry Certificate is the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate), in the form of Exhibit N hereto (in the event that the applicable Book-Entry Certificate is the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate) or in the form of Exhibit O hereto (in the event that the applicable Book-Entry Certificate is the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate), then the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, shall cancel, or cause to be canceled, all or part of such Non-Book Entry Certificate, shall, if applicable, execute, authenticate and deliver to the transferor a new Non-Book Entry Certificate equal to the aggregate Certificate Balance of the portion retained by such transferor and shall instruct the Depository to increase, or cause to be increased, such Book-Entry Certificate by the aggregate Certificate Balance of the portion of the Non-Book Entry Certificate to be exchanged and to credit, or cause to be credited, to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the applicable Book-Entry Certificate equal to the Certificate Balance of the portion of the Non-Book Entry Certificate so canceled.  Upon the written direction of the Depositor (which may be by email to [EMAIL ADDRESS]) or its Affiliate, the Certificate Registrar shall execute any instrument as may be reasonably required by the Depository to effect such exchange.


 


(h)            Non-Book Entry Certificates on Initial Issuance Only.  Subject to the issuance of Definitive Certificates, if and when permitted by Section 5.02(d), no Non-Book 



-305-










Entry Certificate shall be issued to a transferee of an interest in any Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate, Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or to a transferee of a Non-Book Entry Certificate (or any portion thereof).


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


(l)            All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer and exchange shall be canceled and subsequently destroyed by the Certificate Registrar in accordance with the Certificate Registrar’s customary procedures.


 


(m)            With respect to the ERISA Restricted Certificates, no sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition (other than any initial transfer to the Initial Purchasers) of any such Certificate shall be made unless the Trustee and Certificate Administrator shall have received either (i) a representation letter from the proposed purchaser or transferee of such Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1 attached hereto, to the effect that such proposed purchaser or transferee is not (A) an employee benefit plan subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA or a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code, or a governmental plan (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA), a church plan (as defined in Section 3(33) of ERISA) for which no election has been made under Section 410(d) of the Code or any other plan subject to any federal, state or local law (“Similar Law”) which is, to a material extent, similar to the foregoing provisions of ERISA or the Code (each, a “Plan”) or (B) a person acting on behalf of or using the assets of any such Plan (including an entity whose underlying assets include Plan assets by reason of investment in the entity by such Plan and the application of Department of Labor Regulation § 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA), other than an insurance company using the assets of its general account under circumstances whereby the purchase and holding of such Certificates by such insurance company would be exempt from the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA and the Code under Sections I and III of Prohibited 



-306-










Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 (or, in the case of a Plan subject to Similar Law, would not result in a non-exempt violation of Similar Law) or (ii) if such Certificate which may be held only by a person not described in clauses (A) or (B) above, is presented for registration in the name of a purchaser or transferee that is any of the foregoing, an Opinion of Counsel in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and Certificate Administrator and the Depositor to the effect that the acquisition and holding of such Certificate by such purchaser or transferee will not constitute or result in a non-exempt “prohibited transaction” within the meaning of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or a non-exempt violation of any Similar Law, and will not subject the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Initial Purchasers, the Underwriters, the Operating Advisor or the Depositor to any obligation or liability (including obligations or liabilities under ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or any such Similar Law) in addition to those set forth in the Agreement.  The Trustee and Certificate Administrator shall not register the sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition of any ERISA Restricted Certificate unless the Trustee and Certificate Administrator have received either the representation letter described in clause (i) above or the Opinion of Counsel described in clause (ii) above.  The costs of any of the foregoing representation letters or Opinions of Counsel shall not be borne by any of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Initial Purchasers, the Underwriters, the Operating Advisor or the Trust.  Each Certificate Owner of an ERISA Restricted Certificate shall be deemed to represent that it is not a Person specified in clauses (i)(A) or (i)(B) above.  Any transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any ERISA Restricted Certificates that would constitute or result in a prohibited transaction under ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or any Similar Law, or would otherwise violate the provisions of this Section 5.03(m) shall be deemed absolutely null and void ab initio, to the extent permitted under applicable law.


 


(n)            No Class [R] or Class [ARD] Certificate may be purchased by or transferred to any prospective purchaser or transferee that is or will be a Plan, or any person acting on behalf of a Plan or using the assets of a Plan (including an entity whose underlying assets include Plan assets by reason of investment in the entity by such Plan and the application of Department of Labor Regulation § 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA) to purchase such Class [R] or Class [ARD] Certificate.  Each prospective transferee of a Class [R] or Class [ARD] Certificate shall deliver to the transferor and the Certificate Administrator a representation letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2, stating that the prospective transferee is not a Plan or a person acting on behalf of or using the assets of a Plan.  Any attempted or purported transfer in violation of these transfer restrictions shall be null and void ab initio and shall vest no rights in any purported transferee and shall not relieve the transferor of any obligations with respect to the applicable Certificates.


 


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


 


(i) Each Person acquiring or holding any Residual Ownership Interest shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall not acquire or hold such Residual Ownership Interest as agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) on behalf of any Person that is not a Permitted Transferee.  Any such Person shall promptly notify the Certificate 



-307-










Registrar of any change or impending change in its status (or the status of the beneficial owner of such Residual Ownership Interest) as a Permitted Transferee.  Any acquisition described in the first sentence of this Section 5.03(n) by a Person who is not a Permitted Transferee or by a Person who is acting as an agent of a Person who is not a Permitted Transferee shall be void ab initio and of no effect, and the immediately preceding owner who was a Permitted Transferee shall be restored to registered and beneficial ownership of the Residual Ownership Interest as soon and as fully as possible.


 


(ii) No Residual Ownership Interest may be Transferred, and no such Transfer shall be registered in the Certificate Register, without the express written consent of the Certificate Registrar, and the Certificate Registrar shall not recognize the Transfer, and such proposed Transfer shall not be effective, without such consent with respect thereto.  In connection with any proposed Transfer of any Residual Ownership Interest, the Certificate Registrar shall, as a condition to such consent, (x) require the proposed transferee to deliver, and the proposed transferee shall deliver to the Certificate Registrar and to the proposed transferor, an affidavit in substantially the form attached as Exhibit D-1 (a “Transferee Affidavit”) of the proposed transferee (A) that such proposed transferee is a Permitted Transferee and (B) stating that (1) the proposed transferee historically has paid its debts as they have come due and intends to do so in the future, (2) the proposed transferee understands that, as the holder of a Residual Ownership Interest, it may incur liabilities in excess of cash flows generated by the residual interest, (3) the proposed transferee intends to pay taxes associated with holding the Residual Ownership Interest as they become due, (4) the proposed transferee will not cause income with respect to the Residual Ownership Interest to be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty, of such proposed transferee or any other U.S. Tax Person, (5) the proposed transferee will not transfer the Residual Ownership Interest to any Person that does not provide a Transferee Affidavit or as to which the proposed transferee has actual knowledge that such Person is not a Permitted Transferee or is acting as an agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) for a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, and (6) the proposed transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and to abide by the provisions of this Section 5.03(n) and (y) other than in connection with the initial issuance of a Class [R] Certificate, require a statement from the proposed transferor substantially in the form attached as Exhibit D-2 (the “Transferor Letter”), that the proposed transferor has no actual knowledge that the proposed transferee is not a Permitted Transferee and has no actual knowledge or reason to know that the proposed transferee’s statements therein are false.


 


(iii) Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transferee Affidavit by a proposed transferee under clause (ii) above, if a Responsible Officer of the Certificate Registrar has actual knowledge that the proposed transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, no Transfer to such proposed transferee shall be effected and such proposed Transfer shall not be registered on the Certificate Register; provided, however, the Certificate Registrar shall not be required to conduct any independent investigation to determine whether a proposed transferee is a Permitted Transferee.  Upon notice to the Certificate Registrar that there has occurred a Transfer to any Person that is a Disqualified Organization or an agent thereof (including a broker, nominee or middleman) in contravention of the 



-308-










foregoing restrictions, and in any event not later than sixty (60) days after a request for information from the transferor of such Residual Ownership Interest or such agent, the Certificate Registrar agrees to furnish to the Internal Revenue Service and the transferor of such Residual Ownership Interest or such agent such information necessary to the application of Section 860E(e) of the Code as may be required by the Code, including, but not limited to, the present value of the total anticipated excess inclusions with respect to such Class [R] Certificate (or portion thereof) for periods after such Transfer.  At the election of the Certificate Registrar, the Certificate Registrar may charge a reasonable fee for computing and furnishing such information to the transferor or to such agent referred to above; provided, however, that such Persons shall in no event be excused from furnishing such information.


 


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


 


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


 


Section 5.04                          Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.  If (a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, or the Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (b) there is delivered to the Certificate Registrar such security or indemnity as may be required by it to save it harmless, then, in the absence of actual notice to the Certificate Registrar that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Certificate Registrar shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor and interest in the Trust.  In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 5.04, the Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Certificate Registrar) connected therewith.  Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 5.04 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.


 


Section 5.05                          Persons Deemed Owners.  The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in this Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of any of them shall be affected by any notice to the contrary; provided, however, that to the extent that a party 



-309-










to this Agreement responsible for distributing any report, statement or other information required to be distributed to Certificateholders has been provided an Investor Certification, such party to this Agreement shall distribute such report, statement or other information to such beneficial owner (or prospective transferee).


 


Section 5.06                          Access to List of Certificateholders’ Names and Addresses; Special Notices.  The Certificate Registrar shall maintain in as current form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of the Certificateholders.  If any Certificateholder that has provided an Investor Certification (a) requests in writing from the Certificate Registrar a list of the names and addresses of Certificateholders, (b) states that such Certificateholder desires to communicate with other Certificateholders with respect to its rights under this Agreement or under the Certificates and (c) provides a copy of the communication which Certificateholder proposes to transmit, then the Certificate Registrar shall, within ten (10) Business Days after the receipt of such request, afford such Certificateholder (at such Certificateholder’s sole cost and expense) access during normal business hours to a current list of the Certificateholders related to the Class of Certificates held by such Certificateholder.  Every Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Certificate, agrees that the Certificate Registrar shall not be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the list of the Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the source from which information was derived.  The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and the Depositor shall be entitled to a list of the names and addresses of Certificateholders from time to time upon request therefor.


 


Any written request from a Certificateholder or Certificate Owner to communicate with other Certificateholders or Certificate Owners related to Certificateholders or Certificate Owners exercising their rights under the terms of this Agreement should be signed by an authorized representative of the requesting Certificateholder or Certificate Owner and delivered to the Certificate Administrator prior to the Distribution Date to which the Form 10-D relates (and on or after the Distribution Date preceding such Distribution Date). Any Form 10-D containing such disclosure (a “Special Notice”) regarding the request to communicate is required to include no more than (a) the name of the Certificateholder or Certificate Owner making the request, (b) the date the request was received, (c) a statement to the effect that certificate administrator has received such request, stating that such Certificateholder or Certificate Owner is interested in communicating with other Certificateholders or Certificate Owners with regard to the possible exercise of rights under this Agreement, and (d) a description of the method other Certificateholders or Certificate Owners may use to contact the requesting Certificateholder or Certificate Owner.

The Certificate Registrar shall give prompt written notice to the Certificateholders and the Mortgagors of any change in the location of the Certificate Register or any such office or agency.

(a)  [CERTIFICATE ADMINISTRATOR] is hereby initially appointed Certificate Administrator in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  If the Certificate Administrator resigns or is terminated, the Trustee shall appoint a successor certificate administrator which may be the Trustee or an Affiliate thereof to fulfill the obligations of the Certificate Administrator hereunder which must satisfy the eligibility requirements set forth in Section 8.06.


 


(b)            The Certificate Administrator may rely upon and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officer’s Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, Appraisal, bond or other paper or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.


 


(c)            The Certificate Administrator, at the expense of the Trust (but only if such amount constitutes “unanticipated expenses of the REMIC” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii)), may consult with counsel and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance therewith.


 


(d)            The Certificate Administrator shall not be personally liable for any action reasonably taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement.

(f)            The Certificate Administrator shall not be responsible for any act or omission of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Depositor.


 


Section 5.09                          Exchangeable Certificates and the Class [EC] Certificates.

(a)  Groups of Exchangeable Certificates may be exchanged for Class [EC] certificates and vice versa, in whole or in part in accordance with the terms of this Section 5.09 and the other applicable provisions of Article V hereof.


 


An Exchangeable Proportion will be exchangeable on the books of DTC for Class [EC] certificates that represent the same Tranche Percentage Interest in each Class [EC] Components as the certificates to be surrendered, and any Class [EC] certificates will be exchangeable on the books of DTC for Exchangeable Certificates that evidence the same Tranche Percentage Interest in each Class [EC] Components as the Class [EC] certificates to be surrendered. There is no limit on the number of exchanges authorized under this Section 5.09; provided, exchanges will no longer be permitted following the date when the then-current principal balance of the Class [A-S] Regular Interest (and, correspondingly, to the extent evidencing an interest in the Class [A-S] Regular Interest, the Class [A-S] certificates and the applicable component of the Class [EC] certificates) is reduced to zero as a result of the payment 



-311-










in full of all interest and principal on that Class [EC] Components. In all cases, however, an exchange may not occur if the face amount of the certificates to be received in the exchange would not represent an authorized denomination for the relevant class as described under Section 5.01. In addition, the Depositor will have the right to make or cause exchanges on the Closing Date pursuant to instructions delivered to the Certificate Administrator on the Closing Date.


 


The various amounts distributable on the Class [EC] certificates on each Distribution Date in respect of Interest Accrual Amounts, Interest Distribution Amounts, Principal Distribution Amounts, reimbursements of Realized Losses and yield maintenance charges allocated to any of the respective Tranche Percentage Interests in the Class [EC] Components represented by the Class [EC] certificates will be so distributed in a single, aggregate distribution to the holders of the Class [EC] certificates on such Distribution Date.  Any Realized Losses or other shortfalls, including as a result of Appraisal Reduction Events, allocated to the Tranche Percentage Interests in the Class [EC] Components represented by the Class [EC] certificates will be borne by such Class [EC] Certificates and any recoveries of such amounts shall be paid to such Class [EC] Certificates.


 


Exchangeable Certificates that have been exchanged for and converted to Class [EC] Certificates shall be deemed to be held by the Trustee in uncertificated form and, for tax purposes, as assets of the Grantor Trust, and shall be deemed to be outstanding for all purposes in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.


 


(b)            Exchangeable Certificates shall be exchangeable on the books of the Depository for Class [EC] Certificates, and Class [EC] Certificates shall be exchangeable on the books of the Depository for Exchangeable Certificates, after the Closing Date (other than any exchanges on the Closing Date pursuant to instructions from the Depositor).  In order to effect an exchange of the Exchangeable Certificates or Class [EC] Certificates, the Certificateholder shall notify the Certificate Administrator by e-mail at [EMAIL ADDRESS] no later than three (3) Business Days before the proposed date for the exchange and conversion (the “Exchange Date”).  The Exchange Date can be any Business Day other than the first or last Business Day of the month, subject to the satisfaction of the Certificate Administrator.


 


(c)            With respect to the notice required in clause (b) above, the Certificateholder shall provide notice on the Certificateholder’s letterhead, which notice must carry a medallion stamp guarantee and set forth the following information:  (i) the CUSIP Number(s) of the Exchangeable Certificates or Class [EC] Certificate to be exchanged and converted and the Exchangeable Certificate or the Class [EC] Certificates to be received, (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the initial Certificate Balance of the Exchangeable Certificates or the Class [EC] Certificates to be exchanged and converted, (iii) the Certificateholder’s Depository participant number, if applicable, and (iv) the proposed Exchange Date.  The Certificateholder will utilize the “deposit and withdrawal system” at the Depository to affect the exchange and conversion of the Certificates. A notice becomes irrevocable on the second (2nd) Business Day before the proposed exchange date.


 


(d)            In connection with each exchange, the Certificateholder may be required to pay certain fees charged by DTC and such fees must be received by the Certificate 



-312-










Administrator prior to the exchange date or such exchange shall not be effected. The first distribution on an Exchangeable Certificate or Class [EC] certificates shall be made in the month following the month of exchange to the Certificateholder of record as of the applicable Record Date for such certificate.  Neither the Certificate Administrator nor the Depositor shall have any obligation to ensure the availability of the applicable certificates to accomplish any exchange.

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

In the event the Special Servicer receives no response from the Directing Certificateholder within 10 days following its written request for input on any required consultation, the Special Servicer shall not be obligated to consult with the Directing Certificateholder on the specific matter; provided, however, that the failure of the Directing Certificateholder to respond shall not relieve the Special Servicer from consulting with the Directing Certificateholder on any future matters with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan or any other Mortgage Loan.  In addition, [after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event and with respect to any AB Mortgage Loan or Trust AB Whole Loan, after the occurrence and during the continuation of both a Control Termination Event and an AB Control Appraisal Period,][after Operating Advisor Consultation Event][INCLUDE FOR TRANSACTIONS THAT CLOSE ON OR AFTER DECEMBER 24, 2016 THAT SATISFY RISK RETENTION REQUIREMENTS THROUGH THIRD PARTY PURCHASER OF HORIZONTAL RESIDUAL INTEREST,] the Special Servicer will also be required to consult with the Operating Advisor in connection with any proposed Major Decision (and any other actions which otherwise require consultation with the Operating Advisor after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event hereunder) and consider alternative actions recommended by the Operating Advisor, in respect thereof, provided that such consultation is on a non-binding basis.

In addition, for so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Certificateholder subject to any rights, if any, of the related Companion Holder or the related Subordinate Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder to advise the Special Servicer with respect to the related Serviced Whole Loan or Trust AB Whole Loan, as applicable, pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement, may direct the Special Servicer to take, or to refrain from taking, such other actions with respect to a Mortgage Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, as the Directing Certificateholder may deem advisable or as to which provision is otherwise made herein; provided that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no such direction or objection contemplated by the preceding paragraph or this paragraph, may require or cause the Master Servicer or Special Servicer to violate any provision of any Mortgage Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan or related Intercreditor Agreement or mezzanine intercreditor agreement, applicable law, this Agreement, or the REMIC Provisions (and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, subject to the rights of the holders of the related Companion Loan), including without limitation the obligation of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard, or expose the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trust or the Trustee to liability, or materially expand the scope of the responsibilities of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder or cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to act, or fail to act, in a manner

which in the reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, is not in the best interests of the Certificateholders (including, with respect to the Trust AB Whole Loan, the Holders of the Class [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Certificates).


 


In the event the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, determines that a refusal to consent by the Directing Certificateholder or any advice from the Directing Certificateholder, would cause the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, to violate the terms of any Mortgage Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, applicable law 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 the Directing Certificateholder, the Trustee and the Rating Agencies of its determination, including a reasonably detailed explanation of the basis therefor.  The taking of, or refraining from taking, any action by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer in accordance with the direction of or approval of the Directing Certificateholder that does not violate the terms of any Mortgage Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, applicable law or the Servicing Standard or any other provisions of this Agreement, will not result in any liability on the part of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer.


 


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


 


Any Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder, with respect to a Non-Serviced Whole Loan, shall have no liability to the Trust or the Certificateholders for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, or for errors in judgment.  By its acceptance of a Certificate, each Certificateholder acknowledges and agrees that any such Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder, with respect to the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan, may take actions that favor the interests of one or more classes of the certificates issued under the related Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement including the Holders of the controlling class under such Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement over other Classes of the Certificates, and that such 



-332-










Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder, with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan, may have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of Holders of some Classes of the Certificates, that such Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder, with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan, may act solely in the interests of the Holders of the controlling class under the related Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement, that such Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder, shall not be liable to any Certificateholder, by reason of its having acted solely in the interests of the Holders of the controlling class under the related Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement, and that the Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder, with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan, shall have no liability whatsoever for having so acted, and no Certificateholder may take any action whatsoever against such Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder, with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan, or any director, officer, employee, agent or principal thereof for having so acted.


 


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

Any such Special Servicer under this paragraph shall meet the eligibility requirements of Section 7.02 and the eligibility requirements of the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and the appointment thereof shall comply with the provisions of Section 7.02.  Any appointment of a replacement Special Servicer in accordance with this paragraph shall be subject to the receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation and confirmation from the rating agencies that such appointment or replacement will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the then-current ratings of any class of any related Serviced Companion Loan Securities (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25).

With respect to any Non-Serviced Whole Loan, pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement, the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder will have the right, with or without cause, to replace the applicable Non-Serviced Special Servicer then acting with respect to such Whole Loan and appoint a replacement special servicer in lieu thereof without the consent of the holder of the related Mortgage Loan.

The Certificate Administrator shall include on each Statement to Certificateholders a statement that each Certificateholder may (i) access such notices via the Certificate Administrator’s Website and (ii) register to receive electronic mail notifications when such notices are posted thereon.

An AB Whole Loan Controlling Holder or Subordinate Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder, as applicable, shall have the right, prior to the occurrence and continuance of an AB Control Appraisal Period, to replace the Special Servicer solely with respect to the related AB Whole Loan or Trust AB Whole Loan, as applicable, so long as (A) each Rating Agency delivers a Rating Agency Confirmation; (B) the successor special servicer has assumed in writing (from and after the date such successor special servicer becomes the Special Servicer) all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Special Servicer under this Agreement from and after the date it becomes the Special Servicer as they relate to any AB Whole Loan or Trust AB Whole Loan, as applicable pursuant to an assumption agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Certificate Administrator; and (C) the Certificate Administrator shall have received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Certificate Administrator to the effect that (x) the designation of such replacement to serve as Special Servicer is in compliance with this Agreement, (y) such replacement will be bound by the terms of this Agreement with respect to any AB Whole Loan or Trust AB Whole Loan, as applicable, and (z) subject to customary qualifications and exceptions, this Agreement will be enforceable against such replacement in accordance with the terms hereof.


 


The parties hereto acknowledge that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this section, in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement, if a servicer termination event on the part of a Non-Serviced Special Servicer under a Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement remains unremedied and affects the holder of the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, and the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer has not otherwise been terminated, the holder of the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan (or the Trustee, acting at the direction of the Directing Certificateholder) will be entitled to direct the related Non-Serviced Trustee to terminate the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer solely with respect to the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan.  The appointment (or replacement) of a special servicer with respect 



-338-










to a Non-Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, will in any event be subject to Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency. A replacement special servicer will be selected by the related Non-Serviced Trustee or, prior to a consultation termination event under the related Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement, by the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder; provided, however, that any successor special servicer appointed to replace the special servicer with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan cannot at any time be the Person (or an Affiliate thereof) that was terminated at the direction of the holder of such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, without the prior written consent of the Directing Certificateholder.


 


[APPLICABLE TO OFFERINGS CLOSING PRIOR TO DECEMBER 24, 2016] Following the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, subject to the immediately succeeding paragraph, if the Operating Advisor determines that the Special Servicer is not performing its duties as required hereunder or is otherwise not acting in accordance with the Servicing Standard, the Operating Advisor shall deliver to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, with a copy to the Special Servicer, a written recommendation in the form of Exhibit W attached hereto (which form may be modified or supplemented from time to time to cure any ambiguity or error or to incorporate any additional information, subject to compliance of such form with the terms and provisions of this Agreement; provided, further, that in no event shall the information or any other content included in such written recommendation contravene any provision of this Agreement) detailing the reasons supporting its position (along with relevant information justifying its recommendation) and recommending a suggested replacement special servicer, which shall be a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer.

The reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses of outside counsel) associated with [obtaining such Rating Agency Confirmations][providing such Rating Agency Communications] and administering such vote and the Operating Advisor’s identification of a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer shall be an additional trust fund expense.  In the event that the Trustee does not receive at least a majority of the requested votes, then the Trustee shall have no obligation to remove the Special Servicer.  Prior to the appointment of any replacement special servicer, such replacement special servicer shall have agreed to succeed to the obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement and to act as the Special Servicer’s successor hereunder.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Operating Advisor shall not be permitted to recommend the replacement of the Special Servicer with respect to an AB Whole Loan or a Trust AB Whole Loan so long as the related Serviced

Companion Noteholder or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, as applicable, is not subject to an AB Control Appraisal Period under the related Intercreditor Agreement.


 


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

Prior to the appointment of any replacement special servicer, such replacement special servicer shall have agreed to succeed to the obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement and to act as the Special Servicer’s successor hereunder.  [Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Operating Advisor shall not be permitted to recommend the replacement of the Special Servicer with respect to an AB Whole Loan or a Trust AB Whole Loan so long as the related Serviced Companion Noteholder or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, as applicable, is not subject to an AB Control Appraisal Period under the related Intercreditor Agreement.]

(e)            The Master Servicer and Special Servicer shall, as the case may be, from time to time, take all such reasonable actions as are required by it in accordance with the related Servicing Standard in order to prevent the Certificates from being placed on “watch” status or downgraded due to servicing or special servicing, as applicable, concerns by any Rating Agency.  In no event shall the remedy for a breach of the foregoing covenant extend beyond termination pursuant to Section 7.01(a)(vi) and (vii) and the resulting operation of Section 7.01(b) and (c).  The operation of this subsection (e) shall not be construed to limit the effect of Section 7.01(a)(vi) or (vii).


 


(f)            Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) if any Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Master Servicer affects a Serviced Companion Loan, the related holder of a Serviced Companion Loan or the rating on any class of certificates backed, wholly or partially, by any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, and if the Master Servicer is not otherwise terminated, or (2) if a Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Master Servicer affects only a Serviced Companion Loan, the related holder of a Serviced Companion Loan or the rating on any class of certificates backed, wholly or partially, by any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, then the Master Servicer may not be terminated by or at the direction of the related holder of such Serviced Companion Loan or the holders of any certificates backed, wholly or partially, by such Serviced Companion Loan, but upon the written direction of the related holder of such Serviced Companion Loan, the Master Servicer shall be required to appoint a sub-servicer that will be responsible for servicing the related Serviced Whole Loan.

On and after the time the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, either resigns pursuant to subsection (a) of the first sentence of Section 6.05 or receives a notice of termination for cause pursuant to Section 7.01(b), and provided that no acceptable successor has been appointed within the time period specified in Section 7.01(c), the Trustee shall be the successor to such party, until such successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, is appointed as provided in this Section 7.02 or by the Directing Certificateholder as provided in Section 7.01(d), as applicable, in all respects in its capacity as Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to, and have the benefit of, all of the rights, (subject to Section 3.11 and Section 6.04) benefits, responsibilities, duties, liabilities and limitations on liability relating thereto and that arise thereafter placed on or for the benefit of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, by the terms and provisions hereof; provided, however, that any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by the terminated party’s failure under Section 7.01 to provide information or moneys required hereunder shall not be considered a default by such successor hereunder.  The appointment of a successor master servicer shall not affect any liability of the predecessor Master Servicer which may have arisen prior to its termination as Master Servicer, and the appointment of a successor special servicer shall not affect any liability of the predecessor Special Servicer which may have arisen prior to its termination as Special Servicer.  The Trustee in its capacity as successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall not be liable for any of the representations and warranties of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, respectively, herein or in any related document or agreement, for any acts or omissions of the predecessor Master Servicer or Special Servicer or for any losses incurred by the predecessor Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.06 hereunder, nor shall the Trustee be required to purchase any Mortgage Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan hereunder solely as a result of its obligations as successor master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be.  Subject to Section 3.11, as compensation therefor, the Trustee as successor master servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Fees and all fees relating to the Mortgage Loans, the Companion Loans or the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan which the Master Servicer would have been entitled to if the Master Servicer had continued to act hereunder, including but not limited to any income or other benefit from any Permitted Investment pursuant to Section 3.06, and subject to Section 3.11, and the Trustee as successor to the Special Servicer shall be entitled to the Special Servicing Fees to which the Special Servicer would have been entitled if the Special Servicer had continued to act hereunder.  Should the Trustee succeed to the capacity of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, the Trustee shall be afforded the same standard of care and liability as the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder notwithstanding anything in Section 8.01 to the contrary, but only with respect to actions taken by it in its role as successor master servicer or successor special servicer, as the case may be, and not with respect to its role as Trustee hereunder.  Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if 



-342-










it shall be unwilling to act as successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, or shall, if it is unable to so act, or if the Trustee is not approved as a servicer by each Rating Agency, or if, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder or the Holders of Certificates entitled to more than 50% of the Voting Rights so request in writing to the Trustee, promptly appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established mortgage loan servicing institution which meets the criteria set forth in Section 6.05 and otherwise herein, as the successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer hereunder.  No appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder shall be effective until (i) the assumption in writing by the successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer of all its responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder that arise thereafter, (ii) upon receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and confirmation of the applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any securities related to a Companion Loan, if any (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25), (iii) which appointment has been approved (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event) by the Directing Certificateholder, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld and (iv) the Certificate Administrator shall have filed any required Form 8-K pursuant to Section 11.07 hereof and any other Form 8-K filings have been completed with respect to any related Companion Loan.  Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder, unless the Trustee shall be prohibited by law from so acting, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as herein above provided.  In connection with such appointment and assumption of a successor to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer as described herein, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation with respect to a successor master servicer or successor special servicer, as the case may be, shall be in excess of that permitted the terminated Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder.  The Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (whichever is not the terminated party) and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.  Any costs and expenses associated with the transfer of the servicing function (other than with respect to a termination without cause) under this Agreement shall be borne by the predecessor Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable.  If such predecessor Master Servicer or Special Servicer (as the case may be) has not reimbursed the party requesting such termination or the successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer for such expenses within 90 days after the presentation of reasonable documentation, such expense shall be reimbursed by the Trust; provided that the terminated Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of its liability for such expenses.  If and to the extent that the terminated Master Servicer or Special Servicer has not reimbursed such costs and expenses, the party requesting such termination shall have an affirmative obligation to take all reasonable actions to collect such expenses on behalf of the Trust.  In the event of a termination without cause, such costs and expenses shall be borne by the party requesting such termination, or as otherwise set forth herein; provided that the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall not bear any such costs and expenses.  For the avoidance of 



-343-










doubt, if the Trustee is terminating the Master Servicer or Special Servicer in accordance with this Agreement at the direction of any party or parties permitted to direct the Trustee to so terminate the Master Servicer or Special Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, the Trustee shall not have any liability for such expenses pursuant to this paragraph.


 


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


 


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


 


Section 7.04                          Waiver of Servicer Termination Events.  The Holders of Certificates representing at least [___]% of the Voting Rights allocated to each Class of Certificates affected by any Servicer Termination Event hereunder may waive such Servicer Termination Event within twenty (20) days of the receipt of notice from the Certificate Administrator of the occurrence of such Servicer Termination Event; provided, however, that a Servicer Termination Event under clause (i) of Section 7.01(a) may be waived only by all of the Certificateholders of the affected Classes and a Servicer Termination Event under clause (c) of the definition of “Servicer Termination Event” may be waived only with the consent of the Certificateholders.  Upon any such waiver of a Servicer Termination Event, such Servicer Termination Event shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose hereunder.  Upon any such waiver of a Servicer Termination Event by Certificateholders, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to recover all costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with enforcement action taken with respect to such Servicer Termination Event prior to such waiver from the Trust.  No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Servicer Termination Event or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, for purposes of waiving any Servicer Termination Event pursuant to this Section 7.04, Certificates registered in the name of the Depositor or any Affiliate of the Depositor shall be entitled to the same Voting Rights with respect to the matters described above as they would if any other Person held such Certificates.


 


Section 7.05                          Trustee as Maker of Advances.  In the event that the Master Servicer fails to fulfill its obligations hereunder to make any Advances and such failure remains uncured, the Trustee shall perform such obligations (x) within five (5) Business Days following such failure by the Master Servicer with respect to Servicing Advances resulting in a Servicer 



-344-










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

(a)  The Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event and after the curing or waiving of all Servicer Termination Events which may have occurred, undertake to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement.  If a Servicer Termination Event occurs and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.  Any permissive right of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator contained in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty.


 


(b)            The Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement (other than the Mortgage Files, the review of which is specifically governed by the terms of Article II), shall examine them to determine whether they conform to the requirements of this Agreement.  If any such instrument is found not to conform to the requirements of this Agreement in a material manner, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall notify the party providing such instrument and requesting the correction thereof.  The Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument furnished by the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or another Person, and accepted by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator in good faith, pursuant to this Agreement.



-345-










(c)            No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct or bad faith; provided, however, that:


 


(i) Prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event, and after the curing of all such Servicer Termination Events which may have occurred, the duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement;


 


(ii) Neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, shall be liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, respectively, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and


 


(iii) Neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, shall be liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of Holders of Certificates entitled to direct the Trustee and/or Certificate Administrator pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, under this Agreement (unless a higher percentage of Voting Rights is required for such action).


 


(d)            The Certificate Administrator shall make available via its internet website initially located at [WEBSITE] to the Serviced Companion Noteholders all reports that the Certificate Administrator has made available to Certificateholders under this Agreement to the extent such reports relate to the related Serviced Companion Loan and upon the submission of an Investor Certification pursuant to this Agreement.

(iv) Neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be liable for any action reasonably taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;

The reasonable expense of every such reasonable examination shall be paid by the requesting Holders;


 


(vi) The Trustee or the Certificate Administrator may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through 



-347-










agents or attorneys; provided, however, that the appointment of such agents or attorneys shall not relieve the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator of its duties or obligations hereunder; provided, further, that the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, may not perform any duties hereunder through any Person that is a Prohibited Party;


 


(vii) For all purposes under this Agreement, neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be deemed to have notice of any Servicer Termination Event unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a default is received by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator at the respective Corporate Trust Office, and such notice references the Certificates or this Agreement;


 


(viii) Neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for any act or omission of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (unless the Trustee is acting as Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, in which case the Trustee shall only be responsible for its own actions as Master Servicer or Special Servicer) or of the Depositor; and


 


(ix) Neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall in any way be liable by reason of any insufficiency in the Trust Fund unless it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Trustee’s or Certificate Administrator’s, as applicable, negligence or willful misconduct was the primary cause of such insufficiency.


 


Each of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to all of the same rights, protections, immunities and indemnities afforded to it as Trustee and Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, in each capacity for which it serves hereunder (including, without limitation, as Custodian, Certificate Registrar, 17g-5 Information Provider and Authenticating Agent).


 


Section 8.03                          Trustee and Certificate Administrator Not Liable for Validity or Sufficiency of Certificates or Mortgage Loans or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan.  The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates, other than the acknowledgments of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator in Sections 2.02 and 2.04 and the signature, if any, of the Certificate Registrar and Authenticating Agent set forth on any outstanding Certificate, shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, and the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator assume no responsibility for their correctness.  Neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator makes any representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or of any Certificate (other than as to the signature, if any, of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator set forth thereon) or of any Mortgage Loan or of the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan or related document.  Neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be accountable for the use or application by the Depositor of any of the Certificates issued to it or of the proceeds of such Certificates, or for the use or application of any funds paid to the Depositor in respect of the assignment of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan to the Trust, or any funds deposited in or withdrawn from the Collection Account or any other account by or on behalf of the

Section 8.04                          Trustee or Certificate Administrator May Own Certificates.  The Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, each in its individual capacity, not as Trustee or Certificate Administrator, may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates, and may deal with the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Underwriters in banking transactions, with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee or the Certificate Administrator.


 


Section 8.05                          Fees and Expenses of Trustee and Certificate Administrator; Indemnification of Trustee and Certificate Administrator.  (a)  As compensation for the performance of their respective duties hereunder, the Trustee will be paid the Trustee Fee, which shall cover recurring and otherwise reasonably anticipated expenses of the Trustee, and the Certificate Administrator will be paid the Certificate Administrator Fee equal to the Certificate Administrator’s portion of one month’s interest at the Certificate Administrator Fee Rate, which shall cover recurring and otherwise reasonably anticipated expenses of the Certificate Administrator.  The Trustee Fee and Certificate Administrator Fee shall be paid monthly on a Mortgage Loan-by-Mortgage Loan (or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan-by-Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, if applicable) basis.  As to each Mortgage Loan, the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and REO Loan (other than the portion of an REO Loan related to any Companion Loan), the Certificate Administrator shall pay to the Trustee monthly the Trustee Fee from the Certificate Administrator Fee, which Certificate Administrator Fee shall accrue from time to time at the Certificate Administrator Fee Rate and the Certificate Administrator Fee shall be computed on the basis of the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, as applicable, and a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.  The Trustee Fee (which shall not be limited to any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) shall constitute the Trustee’s sole form of compensation for all services rendered by it in the execution of the trusts hereby created and in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties of the Trustee hereunder, except for the reimbursement of expenses specifically provided for herein. The Certificate Administrator Fee shall constitute the Certificate Administrator’s sole form of compensation for the exercise and performance of its powers and duties hereunder, except for the reimbursement of expenses specifically provided for herein. No Trustee Fee or Certificate Administrator Fee shall be payable with respect to any Companion Loan.


 


(b)            The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator (in each case, including in its capacity as Custodian and in its individual capacity) and any director, officer, employee, representative or agent of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, respectively, shall be entitled to be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust (to the extent of amounts on deposit in the Collection Account, the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account or the [LOAN-SPECIFIC] REMIC Distribution Account, as applicable, from time to time) against any loss, liability or expense (including, without limitation, costs and expenses of litigation, and of investigation,



-349-










counsel fees, damages, judgments and amounts paid in settlement, and expenses incurred in becoming successor master servicer or successor special servicer, to the extent not otherwise paid hereunder) arising out of, or incurred in connection with, any act or omission of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, respectively, relating to the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, respectively, hereunder; provided, however, that none of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, nor any of the other above specified Persons shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 8.05(b) for (i) allocable overhead, (ii) expenses or disbursements incurred or made by or on behalf of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, respectively, in the normal course of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, respectively, performing its duties in accordance with any of the provisions hereof, which are not “unanticipated expenses of the REMIC” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii), (iii) any expense or liability specifically required to be borne thereby pursuant to the terms hereof or (iv) any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in the performance of the Trustee’s or the Certificate Administrator’s, respectively, obligations and duties hereunder, or by reason of negligent disregard of such obligations or duties, or as may arise from a breach of any representation or warranty of the Trustee specified in Section 8.12 or the Certificate Administrator specified in Section 8.14, respectively, made herein.  The provisions of this Section 8.05(b) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and any resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, respectively, and appointment of a successor thereto.  The foregoing indemnity shall also apply to the Certificate Administrator in its capacities of Custodian, Certificate Registrar and Authenticating Agent.


 


(c)            The Certificate Administrator shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor and Mortgage Loan Sellers from and against any claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses incurred by the Depositor, any Mortgage Loan Seller or its Affiliates that arise out of or are based upon (i) a breach by the Certificate Administrator, in its capacity as 17g-5 Information Provider or in any other capacity in which the Certificate Administrator is required to provide information to a Privileged Person that is an NRSRO, of its obligations under this Agreement or (ii) negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Certificate Administrator, in its capacity as 17g-5 Information Provider or in any other capacity in which the Certificate Administrator is required to provide information to a Privileged Person that is an NRSRO, in the performance of such obligations or its negligent disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement.


 


Section 8.06                          Eligibility Requirements for Trustee and Certificate Administrator.  Each of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator hereunder shall at all times be, and will be required to resign if it fails to be, (i) a corporation, national bank, national banking association or a trust company, organized and doing business under the laws of any state or the United States of America, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and to accept the trust conferred under this Agreement, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $[100,000,000] and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority and in the case of the Trustee, shall not be an Affiliate of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (except during any period when the Trustee is acting as, or has become successor to, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 7.02), (ii) an institution insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, (iii) an institution whose long-term senior 



-350-










unsecured debt is rated at least [RATING CRITERIA] or such other rating with respect to which the Rating Agencies have provided a Rating Agency Confirmation; and (iv) an entity that is not a Prohibited Party.


 


If such corporation, national bank or national banking association publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 8.06 the combined capital and surplus of such corporation, national bank or national banking association shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published.  In the event the place of business from which the Certificate Administrator administers the Trust REMICs or in which the Trustee’s office is located is in a state or local jurisdiction that imposes a tax on the Trust on the net income of a REMIC (other than a tax corresponding to a tax imposed under the REMIC Provisions), the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable shall elect either to (i) resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.07, (ii) pay such tax at no expense to the Trust or (iii) administer the Trust REMICs from a state and local jurisdiction that does not impose such a tax.


 


Section 8.07                          Resignation and Removal of the Trustee and Certificate Administrator.  (a)  The Trustee and the Certificate Administrator may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, 17g-5 Information Provider and to all Certificateholders.  The Certificate Administrator shall post such notice to the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(b) and provide notice of such event to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor and the 17g-5 Information Provider, which shall promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(c).  Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Depositor shall use its reasonable best efforts to promptly appoint a successor trustee or Certificate Administrator acceptable to the Master Servicer and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder by written instrument, in duplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee or Certificate Administrator and to the successor trustee or certificate administrator.  A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificateholders and the Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, by the Depositor.  If no successor trustee or certificate administrator shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee or Certificate Administrator may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee or certificate administrator, as applicable. The resigning Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, must pay all costs and expenses associated with the transfer of its responsibilities.


 


(b)            If at any time the Trustee or Certificate Administrator shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.06 (and in the case of the Certificate Administrator, Section 5.08) and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Depositor or the Master Servicer, or if at any time the Trustee or Certificate Administrator shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator or of its property shall be appointed, or any public

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

If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.

Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James’s, living on the date hereof.


 


Following the date on which the Class [A-1], Class [A-2], Class [A-3], Class [A-4], Class [A-5], Class [A-SB], Class [A-S], Class [B], Class [C], Class [D] and Class [EC] Certificates are retired (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then outstanding Certificates (other than the [LOAN-SPECIFIC], Class [ARD] and Class [R] Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, with the consent of the Master Servicer, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the [LOAN-SPECIFIC], Class [ARD] and Class [R] Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Trust) and each REO Property (other than any portion related to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Trust) remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by clause (iii) of the first paragraph of this Section 9.01 by giving written notice to 



-360-










all the parties hereto no later than sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated date of exchange.  In the event that the Sole Certificateholder elects to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the [LOAN-SPECIFIC], Class [ARD] and Class [R] Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Trust) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property (other than any portion related to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Trust) remaining in the Trust in accordance with the preceding sentence, such Sole Certificateholder, not later than the Distribution Date on which the final distribution on the Certificates is to occur, shall deposit in the Collection Account an amount in immediately available funds equal to all amounts due and owing to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator hereunder through the date of the liquidation of the Trust that may be withdrawn from the Collection Account, or an escrow account acceptable to the respective parties hereto, pursuant to Section 3.05(a) or that may be withdrawn from the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a), but only to the extent that such amounts are not already on deposit in the Collection Account.  In addition, the Master Servicer shall transfer all amounts required to be transferred to the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account and Excess Interest Distribution Account on the P&I Advance Date related to such Distribution Date in which the final distribution on the Certificates is to occur from the Collection Account pursuant to the first paragraph of Section 3.04(b) (provided, however, that if a Serviced Whole Loan is secured by REO Property, the portion of the above-described purchase price allocable to such Trust’s portion of REO Property shall initially be deposited into the related REO Account).  Upon confirmation that such final deposits have been made and following the surrender of all its Certificates (other than the [LOAN-SPECIFIC], Class [ARD] and Class [R] Certificates) on the applicable Distribution Date, the Custodian shall, upon receipt of a Request for Release from the Master Servicer, release or cause to be released to the Sole Certificateholder or any designee thereof, the Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Trust) and shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments furnished to it by the Sole Certificateholder as shall be necessary to effectuate transfer of the Mortgage Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Trust) and REO Properties (other than any portion related to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Trust) remaining in the Trust Fund, and the Trust shall be liquidated in accordance with Section 9.02 and neither of the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall have any further obligation to service the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan hereunder.  Solely for federal income tax purposes, the Sole Certificateholder shall be deemed to have purchased the assets of the Lower-Tier REMIC for an amount equal to the remaining Certificate Balance of the Principal Balance Certificates and the Class [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Certificates, plus accrued, unpaid interest with respect thereto, and the Certificate Administrator shall credit such amounts against amounts distributable in respect of such Certificates and Related Lower-Tier Regular Interests. If the Trust AB Whole Loan (or any related REO Loan) is an asset of the Trust, (i) if the Mortgaged Property securing the Trust AB Whole Loan has become an REO Property, then the Sole Certificateholder exercising the exchange described above, as a prerequisite, shall designate a nominee to hold title to such REO Property on behalf of the purchaser and the holders of the Class [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Certificates 



-361-










and (ii) if the Mortgaged Property securing the Trust AB Whole Loan is not an REO Property, then the Custodian shall, upon receipt of a Request for Release from the Master Servicer, release or cause to be released to the Subordinate Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder or any designee thereof, the Mortgage Note for the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments furnished to it by the Subordinate Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder as shall be necessary to effectuate transfer of such Mortgage Note and the [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Trust Subordinate Companion Loan REMIC shall be liquidated in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 9.02 and neither of the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall have any further obligation to service the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan hereunder.


 


The obligations and responsibilities under this Agreement of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Companion Paying Agent shall terminate with respect to any Companion Loan to the extent (i) its related Serviced Mortgage Loan has been paid in full or is no longer part of the Trust Fund and (ii) no amounts payable by the related Companion Holder to or for the benefit of the Trust or any party hereto in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement remain due and owing.


 


The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class [R] Certificates, in that order of priority, may, at their option, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Trust) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property (other than any portion related to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Trust) remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by clause (ii) of the first paragraph of this Section 9.01 by giving written notice to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, and the other parties hereto no later than sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated date of purchase; provided, however, that the Holders of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, or the Holders of the Class [R] Certificates may so elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Trust) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property (other than any portion related to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Trust) remaining in the Trust Fund only on or after the first Distribution Date on which (A) the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than [__________].  This purchase shall terminate the Trust and retire the then-outstanding Certificates. If the Trust AB Whole Loan (or any related REO Loan) is an asset of the Trust, (i) if the Mortgaged Property securing the Trust AB Whole Loan has become an REO Property, then the purchaser exercising the purchase option described above, as a prerequisite, shall designate a nominee to hold title to such REO Property on behalf of the purchaser and the holders of the Class [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Certificates and (ii) if the Mortgaged Property securing the Trust AB Whole Loan is not an REO Property, then the Custodian shall, upon receipt of a Request for Release from the Master Servicer, release or cause to be released to the Subordinate Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder or any designee thereof, the Mortgage Note for the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments furnished to it by the Subordinate Loan-Specific Directing 



-362-










Certificateholder as shall be necessary to effectuate transfer of such Mortgage Note and the [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Trust Subordinate Companion Loan REMIC shall be liquidated in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 9.02.  In the event that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer purchases, or the Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class or the Holders of the Class [R] Certificates purchase, all of the Mortgage Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Trust) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property (other than any portion related to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Trust) remaining in the Trust Fund in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class or the Holders of the Class [R] Certificates, as applicable, shall deposit in the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account not later than the P&I Advance Date relating to the Distribution Date on which the final distribution on the Certificates is to occur, an amount in immediately available funds equal to the above-described purchase price (exclusive of any portion thereof payable to any Person other than the Certificateholders pursuant to Section 3.05(a), which portion shall be deposited in the Collection Account).  In addition, the Master Servicer shall transfer to the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account all amounts required to be transferred thereto on such P&I Advance Date from the Collection Account pursuant to the first paragraph of Section 3.04(b), together with any other amounts on deposit in the Collection Account that would otherwise be held for future distribution.  Upon confirmation that such final deposits and payments have been made, the Custodian shall release or cause to be released to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class or the Holders of the Class [R] Certificates, as applicable, the Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Trust) and shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments furnished to it by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class or the Holders of the Class [R] Certificates, as applicable, as shall be necessary to effectuate transfer of the Mortgage Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Trust) and REO Properties (other than any portion related to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Trust) remaining in the Trust Fund.


 


For purposes of this Section 9.01, the Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class shall have the first option to terminate the Upper-Tier REMIC and Lower-Tier REMIC, then the Special Servicer, then the Master Servicer, and then the Holders of the Class [R] Certificates.  For purposes of this Section 9.01, the Directing Certificateholder with the consent of the Holders of the Controlling Class, shall act on behalf of the Holders of the Controlling Class in purchasing the assets of the Trust and terminating the Trust.


 


Notice of any termination pursuant to this Section 9.01 shall be given promptly by the Certificate Administrator by letter to the Certificateholders, the Subordinate Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder, each Serviced Companion Noteholder and the 17g-5 Information Provider in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.13(c) (who shall promptly post a copy of such additional notice on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.13(c)) and, if not previously notified pursuant to this Section 9.01, to the other parties hereto mailed (a) in the event such notice is given in connection with the purchase

After transferring the Lower-Tier Distribution Amount and the amount of any Yield Maintenance Charges distributable to the Regular Certificates pursuant to Section 4.01(e) to the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, in each case pursuant to Section 3.04(b) and upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates by the Certificateholders on the final Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to each Certificateholder so presenting and surrendering its Certificates (i) such Certificateholder’s Percentage Interest of that portion of the amounts then on deposit in the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account or the Class [EC] Distribution Account, as applicable, that are allocable to payments on the Class of Regular Certificates so presented, (ii) to Holders of the Class [ARD] Certificates so presented, any amounts remaining on deposit in the Excess Interest Distribution Account, (iii) any remaining amounts of Yield Maintenance Charges distributable to the Class [NON-OFFERED IO] Certificates pursuant to Section 4.01(e), and (iv) and (v) any remaining amount shall be distributed to the Class [R] Certificates in respect of the Class LR Interest or the Class UR Interest, as applicable.  Amounts transferred from the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account to the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account as of the final Distribution Date, shall be distributed in termination and liquidation of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and the Class LR Interest in accordance with Sections 4.01(a), 4.01(c), 4.01(d), and 4.01(e).  Any funds not distributed on such Distribution Date shall be set aside and held uninvested in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders not presenting and surrendering their Certificates in the aforesaid manner and shall be disposed of in accordance with this Section 9.01 and Section 4.01(h).


 


Section 9.02                          Additional Termination Requirements.  (a)  In the event the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer purchases, or the Holders of the Controlling Class or the Holders of the Class [R] Certificates purchase, all of the Mortgage Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Trust) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property (other than any portion related to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Trust) remaining in the Trust Fund as provided in Section 9.01, or in the event the Class [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Certificateholders exchange their Certificates for the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, the Upper-Tier REMIC and Lower-Tier REMIC or the [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Trust Subordinate Companion Loan REMIC, as applicable, shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional requirements, which meet the definition of a “qualified liquidation” in Section 860F(a)(4) of the Code:

 ADDITIONAL REMIC PROVISIONS


 


Section 10.01                                        REMIC Administration.  (a)  The Certificate Administrator shall make elections or cause elections to be made to treat each Trust REMIC as a REMIC under the Code and, if necessary, under Applicable State and Local Tax Law.  Each such election will be made on Form 1066 or other appropriate federal tax return for the taxable year ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and the Certificates are issued.  For the purposes of the REMIC election in respect of the Upper-Tier REMIC, each Class of the Regular Certificates shall be designated as the “regular interests” (or in the case of an exchange and conversion of Class [A-S], Class [B] and Class [C] Certificates for Class [EC] Certificates, such “regular interests” shall be deemed to be held by the Trustee in uncertificated form unless reconverted to Class [A-S], Class [B] and Class [C] Certificates) and the Class UR Interest shall be designated as the sole class of “residual interests” in the Upper-Tier REMIC.  For purposes of the REMIC election in respect of the Lower-Tier REMIC, each Class of Lower-Tier Regular Interests shall be designated as a class of “regular interests” and the Class LR Interest shall be designated as the sole class of “residual interests” in the Lower-Tier REMIC.  For purposes of the REMIC election in respect of the [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Trust Subordinate Companion Loan REMIC, the Class [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Certificates shall be designated as the “regular interests” and an uncertificated interest represented by the Class [R] Certificates shall be designated as the sole class of “residual interests” in the [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Trust Subordinate Companion Loan REMIC.  None of the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer 



-365-










or the Trustee shall permit the creation of any “interests” (within the meaning of Section 860G of the Code) in any Trust REMIC other than the foregoing interests.


 


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


 


(c)            The Certificate Administrator shall act on behalf of each Trust REMIC in relation to any tax matter or controversy involving either such REMIC and shall represent each such REMIC in any administrative or judicial proceeding relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority with respect thereto.  The legal expenses, including without limitation attorneys’ or accountants’ fees, and costs of any such proceeding and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses of the Trust and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor out of amounts attributable to the Mortgage Loans, the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and any REO Properties on deposit in the Collection Account as provided by Section 3.05(a) unless such legal expenses and costs are incurred by reason of the Certificate Administrator’s willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence.  The Holder of the largest Percentage Interest in the Class [R] Certificates shall be designated, in the manner provided under Treasury Regulations Section 1.860F-4(d) and temporary Treasury Regulations Section 301.6231(a)(7)-1T, as the “tax matters person” of each Trust REMIC.  By their acceptance thereof, the Holders of the largest Percentage Interest in the Class [R] Certificates hereby agrees to irrevocably appoint the Certificate Administrator as their agent to perform all of the duties of the “tax matters person” for the Trust REMICs.


 


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


 


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


 


(f)            The Certificate Administrator shall take such actions and shall cause the Trust to take such actions as are reasonably within the Certificate Administrator’s control and the scope of its duties more specifically set forth herein as shall be necessary to maintain the status of each Trust REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and the Trustee shall assist the Certificate Administrator to the extent reasonably requested by the Certificate Administrator to do so.  Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall knowingly or intentionally take 



-366-










any action, cause the Trust to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action reasonably within its control and the scope of duties more specifically set forth herein, that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (i) endanger the status of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon any Trust REMIC or the Trust (including but not limited to the tax on “prohibited transactions” as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code, but not including the tax on “net income from foreclosure property”) (either such event, an “Adverse REMIC Event”) unless the Certificate Administrator receives an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action or, if such party fails to pay such expense, and the Certificate Administrator determines that taking such action is in the best interest of the Trust and the Certificateholders, at the expense of the Trust, but in no event at the expense of the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee) to the effect that the contemplated action will not, with respect to the Trust, any Trust REMIC created hereunder, endanger such status or, unless the Certificate Administrator determines in its sole discretion to indemnify the Trust against such tax, result in the imposition of such a tax (not including a tax on “net income from foreclosure property”).  The Trustee shall not take or fail to take any action (whether or not authorized hereunder) as to which the Certificate Administrator has advised it in writing that it has received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur with respect to such action.  The Certificate Administrator may consult with counsel to make such written advice, and the cost of same shall be borne by the party seeking to take the action not expressly permitted by this Agreement, but in no event at the expense of the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee.  At all times as may be required by the Code, the Certificate Administrator will to the extent within its control and the scope of its duties more specifically set forth herein, maintain substantially all of the assets of each Trust REMIC as “qualified mortgages” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code and “permitted investments” as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.


 


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



-367-










amount, to the extent necessary, to pay such prohibited transactions tax.  To the extent that any such tax (other than any such tax paid in respect of “net income from foreclosure property”) is paid to the Internal Revenue Service or applicable state or local tax authorities, the Certificate Administrator shall retain an equal amount from future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holders of Class [R] Certificates (as applicable) and shall distribute such retained amounts, (x) in the case of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests, to the Upper-Tier REMIC to the extent they are fully reimbursed for any Realized Losses arising therefrom and then to the Holders of the Class [R] Certificates in respect of the Class LR Interest in the manner specified in Section 4.01(c) and (y) in the case of the Upper-Tier REMIC, to the Holders of the Principal Balance Certificates in the manner specified in Section 4.01(a), to the extent they are fully reimbursed for any Realized Losses arising therefrom and then to the Holders of the Class [R] Certificates in respect of the Class UR Interest.  None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be responsible for any taxes imposed on any Trust REMIC except to the extent such taxes arise as a consequence of a breach of their respective obligations under this Agreement which breach constitutes willful misconduct, bad faith, or negligence by such party.


 


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


 


(i)            Following the Startup Day, neither the Certificate Administrator nor the Trustee shall accept any contributions of assets to any Trust REMIC unless the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to make such contribution) to the effect that the inclusion of such assets in such Trust REMIC will not (i) cause such Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Lower-Tier Regular Interests or Certificates are outstanding or (ii) subject any of the Trust or any Trust REMIC to any tax under the REMIC Provisions or other applicable provisions of federal, state and local law or ordinances.


 


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


 


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


 


(l)            None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall sell, dispose of or substitute for any of the Mortgage 



-368-










Loans or the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan (except in connection with (i) the default, imminent default or foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, including but not limited to, the acquisition or sale of a Mortgaged Property acquired by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, (ii) the bankruptcy of the Trust, (iii) the termination of the Trust pursuant to Article IX of this Agreement or (iv) a purchase of Mortgage Loans or the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan pursuant to Article II or Article III of this Agreement) or acquire any assets for the Trust or any Trust REMIC or sell or dispose of any investments in the Collection Account or the REO Account for gain unless it has received an Opinion of Counsel that such sale, disposition or substitution will not (a) affect adversely the status of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC or (b) unless the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, has determined in its sole discretion to indemnify the Trust against such tax, cause the Trust or any Trust REMIC to be subject to a tax on “prohibited transactions” pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.


 


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

(a)  The Depositor shall provide or cause to be provided to the Certificate Administrator within ten (10) days after the Depositor receives a request from the Certificate Administrator, all information or data that the Certificate Administrator reasonably determines to be relevant for tax purposes as to the valuations and issue prices of the Certificates, including, without limitation, the price, yield, Prepayment Assumptions and projected cash flow of the Certificates.


 


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


 


Section 10.04                                        Appointment of REMIC Administrators.  (a)  The Certificate Administrator may appoint at the Certificate Administrator’s expense, one or more REMIC Administrators, which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Certificate Administrator in performing the functions set forth in Section 10.01 herein.  The Certificate Administrator shall cause any such REMIC Administrator to execute and deliver to the Certificate Administrator an instrument in which REMIC Administrator shall agree to act in such capacity, with the obligations and responsibilities herein.  The appointment of a REMIC Administrator shall not relieve the Certificate Administrator from any of its obligations hereunder, and the Certificate 



-369-










Administrator shall remain responsible and liable for all acts and omissions of the REMIC Administrator.

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


 


(b)            Each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Sub-Servicer, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Certificate Administrator (each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Operating 



-371-










Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Certificate Administrator and each Sub-Servicer, for purposes of this Section 11.02, a “Servicer”) is permitted to utilize one or more Subcontractors to perform certain of its obligations hereunder.  If such Subcontractor will be a Servicing Function Participant, such Servicer shall promptly upon written request provide to the Depositor or any Mortgage Loan Seller a written description (in form and substance satisfactory to the Depositor or such Mortgage Loan Seller, as applicable) of the role and function of each Subcontractor utilized by such Servicer, specifying (i) the identity of such Subcontractor and (ii) the elements of the Servicing Criteria that will be addressed in assessments of compliance provided by each such Subcontractor.  As a condition to the utilization by such Servicer of any Subcontractor determined to be a Servicing Function Participant, such Servicer shall (i) with respect to any such Subcontractor engaged by such Servicer that is an Initial Sub-Servicer, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause, and (ii) with respect to any other subcontractor with which it has entered into a servicing relationship, cause such Subcontractor used by such Servicer for the benefit of the Depositor and the Trustee to comply with the provisions of Section 11.10 and Section 11.11 of this Agreement to the same extent as if such Subcontractor were such Servicer.  With respect to any Servicing Function Participant engaged by such Servicer that is an Initial Sub-Servicer, such Servicer shall be responsible for using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, and with respect to each other Servicing Function Participant engaged by such Servicer, such Servicer shall obtain from each such Servicing Function Participant and deliver to the applicable Persons any assessment of compliance report and related accountant’s attestation required to be delivered by such Subcontractor under Section 11.10 and Section 11.11, in each case, as and when required to be delivered.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Custodian shall not be permitted to utilize any Subcontractor to perform any of its obligations hereunder.


 


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


 


(d)            In connection with the succession to the Trustee under this Agreement by any Person (i) into which the Trustee may be merged or consolidated, or (ii) which may be appointed as a successor to the Trustee, the Trustee shall deliver written notice to the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator and the 17g-5 Information Provider, which shall promptly post 



-372-










such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(c), in each case at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to the effective date of such succession or appointment (or if such prior notice is violative of applicable law or any applicable confidentiality agreement, no later than one (1) Business Day after such effective date of succession) and shall furnish to the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator, in writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator, all information reasonably necessary for the Certificate Administrator to accurately and timely report, pursuant to Section 11.07, the event under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K pursuant to the Exchange Act (if such reports under the Exchange Act are required to be filed under the Exchange Act).


 


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


 


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


 


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

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



-373-










information on the next succeeding Form 10-D to be filed for the Trust.  In the event that any previously filed Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K needs to be amended, the Certificate Administrator will notify the Depositor, and such other parties as needed and the parties hereto will cooperate with the Certificate Administrator to prepare any necessary Form 8-K/A, Form 10-D/A or Form 10-K/A.  Any Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendment to Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K shall be signed by an officer of the Depositor.  The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the performance by the Certificate Administrator of its duties under this Section 11.03 related to the timely preparation and filing of Form 15, a Form 12b-25 or any amendment to Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K is contingent upon the parties observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties under Sections 11.03, 11.04, 11.05, 11.06, 11.07, 11.08, 11.09, 11.10, 11.11 and 11.16 of this Agreement.  The Certificate Administrator shall have no liability for any loss, expense, damage, claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare, arrange for execution and/or timely file any such Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K, where such failure results from the Certificate Administrator’s inability or failure to receive, on a timely basis, any information from any other party hereto needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Forms 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

Each Form 10-K shall include a Sarbanes-Oxley Certification in the form attached as Exhibit Y required to be included therewith pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

In addition, in the event that any Companion Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Companion Loan) is deposited into or the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan is removed from this trust and deposited into a commercial mortgage securitization (an “Other Securitization”) and the Reporting Servicer is provided with timely and complete contact information for the parties to the other securitizations, each Reporting Servicer, upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written request, shall provide to the Person who signs the Sarbanes-Oxley Certification with respect to such Other Securitization a certification in form and substance similar to applicable Performance Certification (which shall address the matters contained in the applicable Performance Certification, but solely with respect to the related Companion Loan) on which Person, the entity for which the Person acts as an officer (if the Person is an individual), and such entity’s officers, directors and Affiliates can reasonably rely.  With respect to any Non-Serviced Companion Loan, the Certificate Administrator will use its reasonable efforts to procure a Sarbanes-Oxley Certification from the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer, Non-Serviced Special Servicer and Non-Serviced Trustee in form and substance similar to a Performance Certification.  The senior officer in charge of securitization for the Depositor shall serve as the Certifying Person on behalf of the Trust.

Section 11.15                                        Certain Matters Relating to the Future Securitization of the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loans.  (a)  Each of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall, and the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any sub-servicer appointed with respect to any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan to, upon written request or notice from a Mortgage Loan Seller (or a permitted transferee of such Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement), reasonably cooperate with the Mortgage Loan Seller (or such permitted transferee) selling any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan into a securitization that is required to comply with Regulation AB (a “Regulation AB Companion Loan Securitization”) and, to the extent needed in order to comply with Regulation AB, provide to the Mortgage Loan Seller (or such permitted transferee) information about itself that such Mortgage Loan Seller reasonably requires to meet the requirements of Items 1117 and 1119 and paragraphs (b), (c)(3), (c)(4) and (c)(5) of Item 1108 of Regulation AB and shall reasonably cooperate with such Mortgage Loan Seller to provide such other information as may be reasonably necessary to comply with the requirements of Regulation AB.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the information 



-390-










provided by the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, for inclusion in the offering materials related to such Regulation AB Companion Loan Securitization is substantially and materially similar to the information provided by such party with respect to the offering materials related to this transaction, subject to any required changes due to any amendments to Regulation AB or any changes in the interpretation of Regulation AB, such party shall be deemed to be in compliance with this Section 11.15(a).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, complies in all material respects with the timing, reporting and attestation requirements imposed on such party in Article XI of this Agreement (other than this Section 11.15) with respect to the comparable timing, reporting and attestation requirements contemplated in this Section 11.15(d) with respect to such Regulation AB Companion Loan Securitization, such party shall be deemed to be in compliance with the provisions of this Section 11.15(d).



-392-










(e)            On or before March 15 of each year during which a Regulation AB Companion Loan Securitization is required to file an annual report on Form 10-K (and not in respect of any year in which Regulation AB Companion Loan Securitization is not required to file an annual report on Form 10-K because a Form 15 Suspension Notification with respect to the related trust was filed), each of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall, and the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any Servicing Function Participant appointed with respect to a Serviced Securitized Companion Loan to, to the extent required pursuant to Item 1123 of Regulation AB, deliver, with respect to itself, to the trustee or certificate administrator under the such Regulation AB Companion Loan Securitization, upon request or notice from such trustee (which request or notice may be given once at the closing of such Regulation AB Companion Loan Securitization instead of each time a filing is required), under such Regulation AB Companion Loan Securitization a servicer compliance statement signed by an authorized officer of such Person that satisfies the requirements of Item 1123 of Regulation AB.

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

The Master Servicer shall provide the related Mortgagor under the [LOAN-SPECIFIC] Whole Loan with written notice no later than [sixty (60)] days after the end of any calendar year that it is requesting such financial statements to be delivered within [seventy-five (75)] days after the close of the calendar year, and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Mortgagor to deliver the same on or before the date that is [seventy-five (75)] days after the close of the applicable calendar year.


 


(b)            With respect to the Significant Obligor, in the event that the Master Servicer does not receive the financial information referred to in clause (a) above to comply with Item 6 of Form 10-D or Item 1112(b) of Form 10-K, as the case may be, from the related Mortgagor within [five (5)] Business Days after the date such financial information is required to be delivered under the related Mortgage Loan documents (it being understood that, so long as the Mortgagor uses such best efforts, it shall not be an event of default if such statements are not delivered on or prior to the date that is [seventy-five (75)] days after the close of the applicable calendar year, but in any event, the Mortgagor shall be obligated to deliver such statements on or before the date that is [80] days after the end of such calendar year), the Master Servicer shall notify the Depositor that it has not received such financial information.  The Master Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard (taking into account, in addition, the ongoing reporting obligations of the Depositor under the Exchange Act, but in no event requiring the Master Servicer to initiate litigation) to continue to attempt to obtain such financial information from the related Mortgagor.  The Master Servicer shall retain written evidence of each instance in which it attempts to contact the related Mortgagor to obtain the required financial information and is unsuccessful and, within [five (5)] Business Days prior to the date in which a Form 10-D or Form 10-K, as applicable, is required to be filed by the Trust, shall forward an Officer’s Certificate evidencing its attempts to obtain this information to the Certificate Administrator and the Depositor.

(c) If the Certificate Administrator has not timely received financial information from the related Mortgagor satisfactory to comply with Item 6 of Form 10-D or Item 1112(b) of Form 10-K, as the case may be, the Certificate Administrator shall include the following statement with respect to Item 6 on the related Form 10-D or Item 1112(b) on the 



-395-










related Form 10-K:  “The information required for this [Item 6] [Item 1112(b)] rests with a person or entity which is not affiliated with the registrant.  Oral and written requests have been made on behalf of the registrant, to the extent required under the related pooling and servicing agreement, to obtain the information required for this [Item 6] [Item 1112 (b)], and the registrant has been unable to obtain such information to include on this [Form 10-D] [Form 10-K] by the related filing deadline.  The information is therefore being omitted herefrom in reliance on Rule 12b-21 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended” or such other statement as shall be required by the Depositor.


 


(d) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 11.16, in the event that the Certificate Administrator files a Form 15 Suspension Notification pursuant to Section 11.08 of this Agreement and so long as the Trust is not subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Master Servicer shall not be required to fulfill its obligations under this Section 11.16.


 


Section 11.17                                        Impact of Cure Period.  For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be subject to a Servicer Termination Event pursuant to clause (iii) of the definition thereof prior to the expiration of the Grace Period applicable to such party’s obligations under Article XI as provided for in such clause (iii) nor shall any such party be deemed to not be in compliance under this Agreement, during any Grace Period provided for in this Article XI; provided, that if any such party fails to comply with the delivery requirements of this Article XI by the expiration of any applicable Grace Period such failure shall constitute a Servicer Termination Event. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be subject to a Servicer Termination Event pursuant to clause (iii) of the definition thereof prior to the expiration of the Grace Period applicable to such party’s obligations under this Article XI as provided for in such clause (iii) nor shall any such party be deemed to not be in compliance under this Agreement, for failing to deliver any item required under this Article XI by the time required hereunder with respect to any reporting period for which the Trust is not required to file Exchange Act reports.

Section 12.01                                        Asset Review.


 


(a)            On or prior to each Distribution Date, based on the CREFC® Delinquent Mortgage Loan Status Report, the [Certificate Administrator] shall determine if an Asset Review Trigger has occurred.  If an Asset Review Trigger is determined to have occurred, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide notice to all Certificateholders and each other party to this Agreement.  Any notice required to be delivered to the Certificateholders pursuant to this Section 12.01 shall be delivered by the Certificate Administrator by posting such notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, by mailing to their addresses appearing in the Certificate Register and by delivering such notice via the Depository.  The Certificate Administrator shall include on the Form 10-D relating to the distribution period in which the Asset Review Trigger  



-396-










occurred a description of the events that caused the Asset Review Trigger to occur. On each Distribution Date after providing such notice to Certificateholders, the Certificate Administrator, based on information provided to it by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, shall determine whether (1) any additional Mortgage Loan has become a Delinquent Mortgage Loan, (2) any Mortgage Loan ceases to be a Delinquent Mortgage Loan and (3) whether an Asset Review Trigger has ceased to exist, and deliver such information within one Business Day to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer.


 


If Certificateholders evidencing not less than 5% of the Voting Rights of the Certificates deliver to the Certificate Administrator, within 90 days after the filing of the Form 10-D reporting the occurrence of an Asset Review Trigger, a written direction requesting a vote to commence an Asset Review (such written direction, the “Asset Review Vote Election”).  Upon receipt of the Asset Review Vote Election, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice thereof to the Asset Representations Reviewer and to all Certificateholders and conduct a solicitation of votes to authorize an Asset Review.  Upon the affirmative vote to authorize an Asset Review of Holders of Certificates evidencing at least a majority of an Asset Review Quorum within 150 days of receipt of the Asset Review Vote Election (an “Affirmative Asset Review Vote”), the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice thereof to all parties to this Agreement, the Underwriters, the Mortgage Loan Sellers, the Directing Certificateholder and the Certificateholders. In the event an Affirmative Asset Review Vote has not occurred within such 150-day period following the receipt of the Asset Review Vote Election, no Certificateholder may request a vote or cast a vote for an Asset Review and the Asset Representations Reviewer will not be required to review any Delinquent Mortgage Loan unless and until (A) an additional Mortgage Loan has become a Delinquent Mortgage Loan after the expiration of such 150-day period, (B) an Asset Review Trigger has occurred as a result of such additional Delinquent Loan or otherwise is still in effect, (C) the Certificate Administrator has received any Asset Review Vote Election after the occurrence of the events described in clauses (A) and (B) in this sentence and (D) an Affirmative Asset Review Vote has occurred within 150 days after the Asset Review Vote Election described in clause (C) in this sentence.  After the occurrence of any Asset Review Vote Election or an Affirmative Asset Review Vote, no Certificateholder may make any additional Asset Review Vote Election except as described in the immediately preceding sentence. The Certificate Administrator shall provide the Asset Representations Reviewer with written notice of the results of such vote. [Any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with administering such vote will be paid as an expense of the Trust from the Collection Account.]


 


(b)            (i)  If an Affirmative Asset Review Vote has occurred, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice thereof to all parties to this Agreement, the Underwriters, Sponsors, the Directing Certificateholder and all Certificateholders.  Upon receipt of such notice of an Affirmative Asset Review Vote (the “Asset Review Notice”), the Special Servicer shall promptly post to a Secure Data Room the following information (collectively, the “Review Materials”):


 


(1) a copy of the Diligence File for each Mortgage Loan that is a Delinquent Mortgage Loan (other than any Delinquent Mortgage Loan that has previously been the subject of an Asset Review and delivery of an Asset Review Report) as of the end of 



-397-










the most recent Collection Period and provide notice to the Asset Representations Reviewer;


 


(2) servicing comments relating to the applicable Delinquent Mortgage Loans and/or the information and documentation set forth in the proviso to the definition of “Diligence File”; and


 


(3) any other related information that is required of the Special Servicer to be posted to the Secure Data Room pursuant to clause (ii) hereof.


 


(ii)            The Special Servicer shall promptly post its servicing comments to the Secure Data Room and request that the Master Servicer or the Mortgage Loan Seller, as applicable, promptly deliver the information requested by the Asset Representations Reviewer to the Special Servicer, and the Special Servicer shall promptly post such information received from the Master Servicer or the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Secure Data Room; provided that the Master Servicer shall, and the Mortgage Loan Seller shall be required under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to, deliver such additional information only to the extent such information is reasonably available to such party.


 


(iii)            In addition, in the event that the Asset Representations Reviewer determines that the information posted to the Secure Data Room with respect to any Mortgage Loan is missing any documents required to complete any Test in connection with an Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall promptly, but in no event later than [__] Business Days, notify the Special Servicer of such missing documents, and the Special Servicer shall promptly, but in no event later than [__] Business Days, contact the related Mortgage Loan Seller to obtain such documents from the Mortgage Loan Seller.


 


(iv)            The Asset Representations Reviewer may, but is under no obligation to, consider information furnished to it by a Person that is not a party to this Agreement or the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, and shall do so only if such information can be independently verified or is determined by the Asset Representations Reviewer in its good faith discretion (“Unsolicited Information”) relevant to the Asset Review conducted pursuant to this Section 12.01 hereof.


 


(v)            Upon receipt by the Asset Representations Reviewer of the Asset Review Notice and access to the Review Materials with respect to a Delinquent Mortgage Loan, the Asset Representations Reviewer, as an independent contractor, shall commence a review of the compliance of each Delinquent Mortgage Loan with the representations and warranties related to that Delinquent Mortgage Loan (such review, the “Asset Review”).  [The Asset Representations Reviewer shall perform an Asset Review with respect to each representation and warranty made by the related Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to such Delinquent Mortgage Loan in accordance with the procedures set forth on Exhibit QQ (each such procedure, a “Test”).]


 


(vi)            The Asset Representations Reviewer will not be permitted to review any information other than (x) the Review Materials posted in the Secure Data Room, or (y) Unsolicited Information.



-398-










(vii)            The Asset Representations Reviewer may, absent manifest error and subject to the Asset Review Standard, (i) assume, without independent investigation or verification, that the Review Materials are accurate and complete in all material respects and (ii) conclusively rely on such Review Materials.


 


(viii)            In the event that the Asset Representations Reviewer determines that the Review Materials are insufficient to complete a Test and such missing information and documentation is not posted by the Special Servicer within [_____] days upon request by the Special Servicer to the related Mortgage Loan Seller, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall list such missing documents in its preliminary report setting forth the preliminary results of the application of the Tests and the reasons why such missing documents are necessary to complete a Test and whether the absence of such documents will be deemed to be a failure of such Test.  The Asset Representations Reviewer shall provide such preliminary report to the Special Servicer, who shall promptly, but in no event later than [__] Business Days, provide such results to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller. If the preliminary report indicates one of the representations and warranties fails or is deemed to fail any Test, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall have [__] days (the “Cure/Contest Period”) to remedy or otherwise refute the failure. The Special Servicer shall post to the secure data room promptly, but in no event later than [__] Business Days after receipt by the related Mortgage Loan Seller any documents received from the related Mortgage Loan Seller or explanations given to support the Mortgage Loan Seller’s claim that the representation and warranty has not failed a Test or any missing documents in the Review Materials are not required to complete a Test.


 


(ix)            The Asset Representations Reviewer shall, within [______] days after the date of receipt of the related Diligence File or within the [___] days after the expiration of the Cure/Contest Period (whichever is later), complete an Asset Review with respect to each Delinquent Mortgage Loan and deliver (i) a report to each party to this Agreement and the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller for each Delinquent Mortgage Loan setting forth the results of the application of the Tests in connection with such Asset Review (a “Asset Review Report”).  The period of time by which the Asset Review Report must be completed and delivered may be extended by up to an additional [__] days, upon written notice to the parties to this Agreement and the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, if the Asset Representations Reviewer determines pursuant to the Asset Review Standard that such additional time is required due to the characteristics of the Mortgage Loan and/or the Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties. Such Asset Review Report shall include (i) a summary of the Asset Representations Reviewer’s findings and conclusions as to whether or not it has determined in accordance with the Asset Review Standard there is any evidence of a failure of any Test in the information and documentation reviewed by the Asset Representations Reviewer, and (ii) a statement that the Asset Representations Reviewer’s conclusions set forth in the Asset Review Report were not influenced by any third party. In no event may the Asset Representations Reviewer determine whether any Test failure constitutes a Defect or Breach, or whether the Trust should enforce any rights it may have against the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller.


 


(x)            In addition, in the event that the Asset Representations Reviewer does not receive any information or documentation that it requested from the Special Servicer prior to the date by which the Asset Representations Reviewer is required to deliver an Asset Review Report, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall prepare the Asset Review Report solely based 



-399-










on the information received by the Asset Representations Reviewer with respect to the related Delinquent Mortgage Loan, and the Asset Representations Reviewer shall have no responsibility to independently obtain any such information from any party to this Agreement.


 


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


 


(d)            The Asset Representations Reviewer may delegate its duties to agents or subcontractors so long as the related agreements or arrangements with such agents or subcontractors are consistent with the provisions of this Section 12.01; provided that no agent or subcontractor may (1) be affiliated with a Sponsor, Master Servicer, Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Directing Certificateholder or any of their respective Affiliates or (ii) have been paid any fees, compensation or other remuneration by an Underwriter, Master Servicer, Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Directing Certificateholder or any of their respective Affiliates in connection with due diligence or other services with respect to any Mortgage Loan prior to the Closing Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall remain obligated and primarily liable for any Asset Review required hereunder in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability or related obligation or liability by virtue of such delegation or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from any Person acting as its agents or subcontractor to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Asset Representations Reviewer alone were performing its obligations under this Agreement.  The Asset Representations Reviewer shall be entitled to enter into an agreement with any agent or subcontractor providing for indemnification of the Asset Representations Reviewer by such agent or subcontractor, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.


 


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


 


(a)            As compensation for the performance of its duties hereunder, upon the completion of any Asset Review with respect to a Delinquent Mortgage Loan, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall be paid a fee of $[____] (the “Asset Representations Reviewer Fee”), which shall cover recurring and otherwise reasonably anticipated expenses of the Asset Representations Reviewer.  However, the Asset Representations Reviewer Fee and any related expenses with respect to a Delinquent Mortgage Loan is required to be included in the Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan that was the subject of a completed Asset Review that is repurchased by a Mortgage Loan Seller, and such portion of the Purchase Price received shall be used to reimburse the Trust for such fees or expenses. The Asset Representations Reviewer Fee 



-400-










and such costs and expenses that constitute “unanticipated expenses” shall be payable from funds on deposit in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05 hereof.


 


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


 


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


 


Section 12.04                                        Restrictions of the Asset Representations Reviewer.  Neither the Asset Representations Reviewer nor any of its Affiliates shall not make any investment in any Class of Certificates; provided, however, that such prohibition shall not apply to (i) riskless principal transactions effected by a broker dealer Affiliate of the Asset Representations Reviewer or (ii) investments by an Affiliate of the Asset Representations Reviewer if the Asset Representations Reviewer and such Affiliate maintain policies and procedures that (A) segregate personnel involved in the activities of the Asset Representations Reviewer under this Agreement from personnel involved in such Affiliate’s investment activities and (B) prevent such Affiliate and its personnel from gaining access to information regarding the Trust and the Asset Representations Reviewer and its personnel from gaining access to such Affiliate’s information regarding its investment activities.


 


Section 12.05                                        Termination of the Asset Representations Reviewer.


 


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


 


(i) any failure by the Asset Representations Reviewer to observe or perform in any material respect any of its covenants or agreements or the material breach of 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 Asset Representations Reviewer by the Trustee or to the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates having greater than [25]% of the aggregate Voting Rights of all then outstanding Certificates;



-401-










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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


Upon receipt by the Certificate Administrator of notice of the occurrence of any Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice to all Certificateholders by posting such notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website and by mail, unless the Certificate Administrator has received notice that it has been remedied. If an Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event shall occur then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event shall not have been remedied, either the Trustee (i) may or (ii) upon the written direction of holders of Certificates evidencing not less than [25]% of the Voting Rights, the Trustee shall, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Asset Representations Reviewer under this Agreement, other than rights and obligations accrued prior to such termination (including the right to receive all amounts accrued and owing to it under this Agreement) and other than indemnification rights (arising out of events occurring prior to such termination), by notice in writing to the Asset Representations Reviewer.  The Asset Representations Reviewer is required to bear all reasonable costs and expenses of each other party to this Agreement in connection with its termination for cause.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Depositor and each Sponsor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to notify the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee of any Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event of which it becomes aware.



-402-










(b)            Upon (i) the written direction of holders of Certificates evidencing not less than [25]% of the Voting Rights requesting a vote to terminate and replace the Asset Representations Reviewer with a proposed successor Asset Representations Reviewer that is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer and (ii) payment by such Holders to the Certificate Administrator of the reasonable fees and expenses to be incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with administering such vote, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice thereof to the Asset Representations Reviewer and to all Certificateholders by (i) posting such notice on its internet website, and (ii) mailing such notice to all Certificateholders at their addresses appearing in the Certificate Register and to the Asset Representations Reviewer.  Upon the written direction of holders of Certificates evidencing more than [75]% of a Certificateholder Quorum, the Trustee shall terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Asset Representations Reviewer under this Agreement (other than any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination and other than indemnification rights arising out of events occurring prior to such termination) by notice in writing to the Asset Representations Reviewer.  As between the Asset Representations Reviewer, on the one hand, and the Certificateholders, on the other, the Certificateholders shall be entitled in their sole discretion to vote for the termination or not vote for the termination of the Asset Representations Reviewer. [In the event that holders of the certificates entitled to at least 75% of the Voting Rights elect to remove the asset representations reviewer without cause and appoint a successor, the successor Asset Representations Reviewer will be responsible for all expenses necessary to effect the transfer of responsibilities from its predecessor.]


 


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


 


The Asset Representations Reviewer shall at all times be an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer and if the Asset Representations Reviewer ceases to be an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall immediately resign under Section 12.03 of this Agreement and the Trustee shall appoint a successor Asset Representations Reviewer subject to and in accordance with this Section 12.05.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Trustee is unable to find a successor Asset Representations Reviewer within 30 days of the termination of the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Depositor shall be permitted to find a replacement.


 


(d)            Upon any termination of the Asset Representations Reviewer and appointment of a successor to the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee shall, as soon as  



-403-










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

 [RATING AGENCY ADDRESSES]


 


Section 13.06                                        Severability of Provisions.  If any one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement shall be for any reason whatsoever held invalid, then such covenants, agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement or of the Certificates or the rights of the Holders thereof.


 


Section 13.07                                        Grant of a Security Interest.  The Depositor intends that the conveyance of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan 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 and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, all principal and interest received or receivable with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan (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, the Distribution Accounts, the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account, the Interest Reserve Account and, if established, the REO Account, and all reinvestment earnings on such amounts, and all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to the proceeds of any title, hazard or other Insurance Policies related to such Mortgage Loans and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and (ii) this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law.  This Section 13.07 shall constitute notice to the Trustee pursuant to any of the requirements of the applicable UCC.


 


Section 13.08                                        Successors and Assigns; Third Party Beneficiaries.  (a)  The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective 



-412-










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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


Section 13.09                                        Article and Section Headings.  The article and section headings herein are for convenience of reference only, and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.


 


Section 13.10                                        Notices to the Rating Agencies.  (a)  The Certificate Administrator shall use reasonable efforts promptly to provide notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(c), (and the related 17g-5 information provider for any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities to the extent applicable to any Serviced Whole Loan) with respect to each of the following of which it has actual knowledge:


 


(i) any material change or amendment to this Agreement;


 


(ii) the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event that has not been cured;

(vi) any material damage to any Mortgaged Property;

(hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Operating Advisor.  A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter.  To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the [Class A-1] Certificates.  The Certificates are designated as the [ISSUING ENTITY], Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, [SERIES] and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Issuing Entity.


 


This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator.  This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is bound.  In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.


 


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.  Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.


 


Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.


 


Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the [Class A-1]



A-1-4










Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Certificate Balance of this Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution Date.  Principal and interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the Available Funds to be distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


Realized Losses and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.


 


This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee on behalf of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom.  Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments.  Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and administration of the Issuing Entity.


 


All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor.  The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.


 


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


 


As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.



A-1-5










Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the [Class A-1] Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC in minimum denominations of $[_____], and in integral multiples of $[_] in excess thereof, with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial Certificate Balance of such Class.


 


No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Issuing Entity for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer.  The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.


 


The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Certificate Registrar and any of their agents may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agents shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.


 


The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties thereto, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or the Companion Holders:


 


(i) to correct any defect or ambiguity in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in order to address any manifest error in any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;


 


(ii) to cause the provisions in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to conform or be consistent with or in furtherance of the statements made in the Prospectus with respect to the Certificates, the Issuing Entity or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or to correct or supplement any of its provisions which may be inconsistent with any other provisions therein or to correct any error;


 


(iii) to change the timing and/or nature of deposits in the Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts or any REO Account; provided that (a) the Master Servicer Remittance Date shall in no event be later than the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date and (b) such change shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel at the expense of the party requesting such amendment or as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to such amendment;


 


(iv) to amend any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary or desirable to maintain the status of each REMIC (or any grantor trust portion of the Issuing Entity) for the purposes of federal income tax law (or comparable provisions of state income tax law);


 


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


 


(vi) to amend any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary or desirable to list the Certificates on a stock exchange, including, without limitation, the appointment of one or more sub-certificate administrators and the requirement that certain information be delivered to such sub-certificate administrators;


 


(vii) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under or with respect to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement not inconsistent with the provisions therein;



A-1-6










(viii) to modify, alter, amend, add or to rescind any of the provisions contained in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement if and to the extent necessary to comply with any rules or regulations promulgated, or any guidance provided with respect to Rule 15Ga-1 under the Exchange Act, by the SEC from time to time;


 


(ix) to modify the provisions of Sections 3.05 and 3.17 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (with respect to reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances and Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts) if (a) the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and, for so long as a Control Event has not occurred and is not continuing, the Directing Certificateholder, determine that the commercial mortgage backed securities industry standard for such provisions has changed, in order to conform to such industry standard, (b) each Rating Agency shall have been provided with a Rating Agency Communication with respect to such modification, and (c) if no Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Certificateholder consents to such modification;


 


(x) to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that if such modification materially increases the obligations of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the 17g-5 Information Provider, the Operating Advisor, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, then the consent of such party will be required;


 


(xi) in the event of a TIA Applicability Determination, to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as shall be necessary to (A) effect the qualification of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under the TIA or under any similar federal statute hereafter enacted and to add to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement such other provisions as may be expressly required by the TIA, and (B) modify such other provisions as are necessary to conform the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and be consistent with the modifications made pursuant to the preceding clause (A); provided that any amendment pursuant to this clause (xi) shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Depositor; and


 


(xii) any other amendment which does not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder (unless such Certificateholder consents).


 


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


 


            The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than 51% of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the Class for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:


 


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


 


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



A-1-7










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


 


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


 


(v) amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and confirmation of the applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any securities related to a Companion Loan, if any (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.27 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.


 


Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Asset Representations Reviewer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Issuing Entity’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Issuing Entity or any Trust REMIC, or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code. Furthermore, no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes in any material respect to the rights of the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS] Certificates without the consent of such Class and no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes any provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the [LOAN SPECIFIC] Intercreditor Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Non-Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s).


 


The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon 60 days’ prior notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan) (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Issuing Entity’s portion of each REO Property (other than any portion related to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) remaining in the Issuing Entity, and thereby effect termination of the Issuing Entity and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, on or after the first Distribution Date on which  the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the Issuing Entity’s portion of any REO Loans remaining in the Issuing Entity is less than [_____].


 


Following the date on which the [APPLICABLE CLASSES] Certificates are retired (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS], Class [ARD] and Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder may, at its option exchange (subject to the Master Servicer’s consent) all of its Certificates (other than the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS], Class [ARD] and Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) and the Issuing Entity’s portion of each REO Property (other than any portion related to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) remaining in the Issuing Entity pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  If the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan is the sole remaining asset of the Issuing Entity, the Holders of the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS] Certificates may exchange their Certificates for the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and terminate the Issuing Entity pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.



A-1-8










The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Issuing Entity created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Issuing Entity due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.


 


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


 


THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES APPLIED IN NEW YORK.

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.  Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.


 


Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.


 


Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the Class [A-2] 



A-2-4










Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Certificate Balance of this Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution Date.  Principal and interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the Available Funds to be distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


Realized Losses and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.


 


This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee on behalf of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom.  Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments.  Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and administration of the Issuing Entity.


 


All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor.  The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.


 


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


 


As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.



A-2-5










Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Class [A-2] Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC in minimum denominations of $[_____], and in integral multiples of $[_] in excess thereof, with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial Certificate Balance of such Class.


 


No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Issuing Entity for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer.  The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.


 


The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Certificate Registrar and any of their agents may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agents shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.


 


The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties thereto, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or the Companion Holders:


 


(i) to correct any defect or ambiguity in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in order to address any manifest error in any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;


 


(ii) to cause the provisions in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to conform or be consistent with or in furtherance of the statements made in the Prospectus with respect to the Certificates, the Issuing Entity or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or to correct or supplement any of its provisions which may be inconsistent with any other provisions therein or to correct any error;


 


(iii) to change the timing and/or nature of deposits in the Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts or any REO Account; provided that (a) the Master Servicer Remittance Date shall in no event be later than the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date and (b) such change shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel at the expense of the party requesting such amendment or as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to such amendment;


 


(iv) to amend any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary or desirable to maintain the status of each REMIC (or any grantor trust portion of the Issuing Entity) for the purposes of federal income tax law (or comparable provisions of state income tax law);


 


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


 


(vi) to amend any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary or desirable to list the Certificates on a stock exchange, including, without limitation, the appointment of one or more sub-certificate administrators and the requirement that certain information be delivered to such sub-certificate administrators;


 


(vii) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under or with respect to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement not inconsistent with the provisions therein;



A-2-6










(viii) to modify, alter, amend, add or to rescind any of the provisions contained in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement if and to the extent necessary to comply with any rules or regulations promulgated, or any guidance provided with respect to Rule 15Ga-1 under the Exchange Act, by the SEC from time to time;


 


(ix) to modify the provisions of Sections 3.05 and 3.17 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (with respect to reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances and Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts) if (a) the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and, for so long as a Control Event has not occurred and is not continuing, the Directing Certificateholder, determine that the commercial mortgage backed securities industry standard for such provisions has changed, in order to conform to such industry standard, (b) each Rating Agency shall have been provided with a Rating Agency Communication with respect to such modification, and (c) if no Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Certificateholder consents to such modification;


 


(x) to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that if such modification materially increases the obligations of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the 17g-5 Information Provider, the Operating Advisor, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, then the consent of such party will be required;


 


(xi) in the event of a TIA Applicability Determination, to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as shall be necessary to (A) effect the qualification of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under the TIA or under any similar federal statute hereafter enacted and to add to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement such other provisions as may be expressly required by the TIA, and (B) modify such other provisions as are necessary to conform the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and be consistent with the modifications made pursuant to the preceding clause (A); provided that any amendment pursuant to this clause (xi) shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Depositor; and


 


(xii) any other amendment which does not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder (unless such Certificateholder consents).


 


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


 


            The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than 51% of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the Class for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:


 


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


 


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



A-2-7










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


 


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


 


(v) amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and confirmation of the applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any securities related to a Companion Loan, if any (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.27 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.


 


Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Asset Representations Reviewer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Issuing Entity’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Issuing Entity or any Trust REMIC, or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code. Furthermore, no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes in any material respect to the rights of the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS] Certificates without the consent of such Class and no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes any provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the [LOAN SPECIFIC] Intercreditor Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Non-Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s).


 


The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon 60 days’ prior notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan) (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Issuing Entity’s portion of each REO Property (other than any portion related to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) remaining in the Issuing Entity, and thereby effect termination of the Issuing Entity and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, on or after the first Distribution Date on which  the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the Issuing Entity’s portion of any REO Loans remaining in the Issuing Entity is less than [_____].


 


Following the date on which the [APPLICABLE CLASSES] Certificates are retired (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS], Class [ARD] and Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder may, at its option exchange (subject to the Master Servicer’s consent) all of its Certificates (other than the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS], Class [ARD] and Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) and the Issuing Entity’s portion of each REO Property (other than any portion related to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) remaining in the Issuing Entity pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  If the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan is the sole remaining asset of the Issuing Entity, the Holders of the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS] Certificates may exchange their Certificates for the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and terminate the Issuing Entity pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.



A-2-8










The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Issuing Entity created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Issuing Entity due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.


 


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


 


THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES APPLIED IN NEW YORK.

BANC OF AMERICA MERRILL LYNCH COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE INC.


 


THIS CERTIFIES THAT CEDE & CO. is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the [Class A-3] Certificates issued by the Issuing Entity created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of [_____], 20[__] (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among BANC OF AMERICA MERRILL LYNCH COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE INC. (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Operating Advisor.  A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter.  To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the [Class A-3] Certificates.  The Certificates are designated as the [ISSUING ENTITY], Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, [SERIES] and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Issuing Entity.


 


This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator.  This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is bound.  In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.


 


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.  Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.


 


Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.


 


Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the [Class A-3] 



A-3-4










Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Certificate Balance of this Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution Date.  Principal and interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the Available Funds to be distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


Realized Losses and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.


 


This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee on behalf of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom.  Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments.  Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and administration of the Issuing Entity.


 


All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor.  The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.


 


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


 


As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.



A-3-5










 


Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the [Class A-3] Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC in minimum denominations of $[_____], and in integral multiples of $[_] in excess thereof, with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial Certificate Balance of such Class.


 


No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Issuing Entity for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer.  The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.


 


The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Certificate Registrar and any of their agents may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agents shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.


 


            The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties thereto, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or the Companion Holders:


 


(i) to correct any defect or ambiguity in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in order to address any manifest error in any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;


 


(ii) to cause the provisions in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to conform or be consistent with or in furtherance of the statements made in the Prospectus with respect to the Certificates, the Issuing Entity or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or to correct or supplement any of its provisions which may be inconsistent with any other provisions therein or to correct any error;


 


(iii) to change the timing and/or nature of deposits in the Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts or any REO Account; provided that (a) the Master Servicer Remittance Date shall in no event be later than the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date and (b) such change shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel at the expense of the party requesting such amendment or as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to such amendment;


 


(iv) to amend any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary or desirable to maintain the status of each REMIC (or any grantor trust portion of the Issuing Entity) for the purposes of federal income tax law (or comparable provisions of state income tax law);


 


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


 


(vi) to amend any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary or desirable to list the Certificates on a stock exchange, including, without limitation, the appointment of one or more sub-certificate administrators and the requirement that certain information be delivered to such sub-certificate administrators;


 


(vii) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under or with respect to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement not inconsistent with the provisions therein;



A-3-6










(viii) to modify, alter, amend, add or to rescind any of the provisions contained in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement if and to the extent necessary to comply with any rules or regulations promulgated, or any guidance provided with respect to Rule 15Ga-1 under the Exchange Act, by the SEC from time to time;


 


(ix) to modify the provisions of Sections 3.05 and 3.17 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (with respect to reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances and Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts) if (a) the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and, for so long as a Control Event has not occurred and is not continuing, the Directing Certificateholder, determine that the commercial mortgage backed securities industry standard for such provisions has changed, in order to conform to such industry standard, (b) each Rating Agency shall have been provided with a Rating Agency Communication with respect to such modification, and (c) if no Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Certificateholder consents to such modification;


 


(x) to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that if such modification materially increases the obligations of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the 17g-5 Information Provider, the Operating Advisor, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, then the consent of such party will be required;


 


(xi) in the event of a TIA Applicability Determination, to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as shall be necessary to (A) effect the qualification of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under the TIA or under any similar federal statute hereafter enacted and to add to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement such other provisions as may be expressly required by the TIA, and (B) modify such other provisions as are necessary to conform the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and be consistent with the modifications made pursuant to the preceding clause (A); provided that any amendment pursuant to this clause (xi) shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Depositor; and


 


(xii) any other amendment which does not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder (unless such Certificateholder consents).


 


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


 


            The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than 51% of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the Class for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:


 


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


 


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



A-3-7










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


 


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


 


(v) amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and confirmation of the applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any securities related to a Companion Loan, if any (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.27 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.


 


Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Asset Representations Reviewer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Issuing Entity’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Issuing Entity or any Trust REMIC, or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code. Furthermore, no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes in any material respect to the rights of the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS] Certificates without the consent of such Class and no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes any provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the [LOAN SPECIFIC] Intercreditor Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Non-Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s).


 


The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon 60 days’ prior notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan) (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Issuing Entity’s portion of each REO Property (other than any portion related to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) remaining in the Issuing Entity, and thereby effect termination of the Issuing Entity and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, on or after the first Distribution Date on which  the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the Issuing Entity’s portion of any REO Loans remaining in the Issuing Entity is less than [_____].


 


Following the date on which the [APPLICABLE CLASSES] Certificates are retired (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS], Class [ARD] and Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder may, at its option exchange (subject to the Master Servicer’s consent) all of its Certificates (other than the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS], Class [ARD] and Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) and the Issuing Entity’s portion of each REO Property (other than any portion related to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) remaining in the Issuing Entity pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  If the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan is the sole remaining asset of the Issuing Entity, the Holders of the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS] Certificates may exchange their Certificates for the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and terminate the Issuing Entity pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.



A-3-8










The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Issuing Entity created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Issuing Entity due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.


 


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


 


THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES APPLIED IN NEW YORK.

[CLASS A-4] CERTIFICATE


 


evidencing a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, consisting primarily of a pool of commercial mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans” (and a separate trust subordinate companion loan interest in a commercial mortgage loan)), all payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan due after the Cut-off Date, all REO Properties and revenues received in respect thereof, the mortgagee’s rights under the insurance policies, any Assignment of Leases, and any guaranties or other collateral as security for the Mortgage Loans and such amounts as shall from time to time be held in the Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts, the Interest Reserve Account, the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and the REO Accounts, formed and sold by


 


BANC OF AMERICA MERRILL LYNCH COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE INC.


 


THIS CERTIFIES THAT CEDE & CO. is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the [Class A-4] Certificates issued by the Issuing Entity created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of [_____], 20[__] (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among BANC OF AMERICA MERRILL LYNCH COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE INC. (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Operating Advisor.  A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter.  To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the [Class A-4] Certificates.  The Certificates are designated as the [ISSUING ENTITY], Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, [SERIES] and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Issuing Entity.


 


This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator.  This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is bound.  In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.


 


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.  Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.


 


Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.


 


Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the [Class A-4] 



A-4-4










Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Certificate Balance of this Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution Date.  Principal and interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the Available Funds to be distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


Realized Losses and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.


 


This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee on behalf of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom.  Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments.  Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and administration of the Issuing Entity.


 


All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor.  The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.


 


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


 


As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.



A-4-5










Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the [Class A-4] Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC in minimum denominations of $[_____], and in integral multiples of $[_] in excess thereof, with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial Certificate Balance of such Class.


 


No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Issuing Entity for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer.  The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.


 


The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Certificate Registrar and any of their agents may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agents shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.


 


The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties thereto, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or the Companion Holders:


 


(i) to correct any defect or ambiguity in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in order to address any manifest error in any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;


 


(ii) to cause the provisions in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to conform or be consistent with or in furtherance of the statements made in the Prospectus with respect to the Certificates, the Issuing Entity or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or to correct or supplement any of its provisions which may be inconsistent with any other provisions therein or to correct any error;


 


(iii) to change the timing and/or nature of deposits in the Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts or any REO Account; provided that (a) the Master Servicer Remittance Date shall in no event be later than the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date and (b) such change shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel at the expense of the party requesting such amendment or as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to such amendment;


 


(iv) to amend any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary or desirable to maintain the status of each REMIC (or any grantor trust portion of the Issuing Entity) for the purposes of federal income tax law (or comparable provisions of state income tax law);


 


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


 


(vi) to amend any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary or desirable to list the Certificates on a stock exchange, including, without limitation, the appointment of one or more sub-certificate administrators and the requirement that certain information be delivered to such sub-certificate administrators;


 


(vii) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under or with respect to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement not inconsistent with the provisions therein;



A-4-6










(viii) to modify, alter, amend, add or to rescind any of the provisions contained in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement if and to the extent necessary to comply with any rules or regulations promulgated, or any guidance provided with respect to Rule 15Ga-1 under the Exchange Act, by the SEC from time to time;


 


(ix) to modify the provisions of Sections 3.05 and 3.17 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (with respect to reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances and Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts) if (a) the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and, for so long as a Control Event has not occurred and is not continuing, the Directing Certificateholder, determine that the commercial mortgage backed securities industry standard for such provisions has changed, in order to conform to such industry standard, (b) each Rating Agency shall have been provided with a Rating Agency Communication with respect to such modification, and (c) if no Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Certificateholder consents to such modification;


 


(x) to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that if such modification materially increases the obligations of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the 17g-5 Information Provider, the Operating Advisor, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, then the consent of such party will be required;


 


(xi) in the event of a TIA Applicability Determination, to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as shall be necessary to (A) effect the qualification of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under the TIA or under any similar federal statute hereafter enacted and to add to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement such other provisions as may be expressly required by the TIA, and (B) modify such other provisions as are necessary to conform the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and be consistent with the modifications made pursuant to the preceding clause (A); provided that any amendment pursuant to this clause (xi) shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Depositor; and


 


(xii) any other amendment which does not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder (unless such Certificateholder consents).


 


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


 


            The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than 51% of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the Class for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:


 


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


 


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



A-4-7










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


 


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


 


(v) amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and confirmation of the applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any securities related to a Companion Loan, if any (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.27 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.


 


Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Asset Representations Reviewer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Issuing Entity’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Issuing Entity or any Trust REMIC, or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code. Furthermore, no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes in any material respect to the rights of the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS] Certificates without the consent of such Class and no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes any provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the [LOAN SPECIFIC] Intercreditor Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Non-Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s).


 


The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon 60 days’ prior notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan) (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Issuing Entity’s portion of each REO Property (other than any portion related to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) remaining in the Issuing Entity, and thereby effect termination of the Issuing Entity and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, on or after the first Distribution Date on which  the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the Issuing Entity’s portion of any REO Loans remaining in the Issuing Entity is less than [_____].


 


Following the date on which the [APPLICABLE CLASSES] Certificates are retired (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS], Class [ARD] and Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder may, at its option exchange (subject to the Master Servicer’s consent) all of its Certificates (other than the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS], Class [ARD] and Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) and the Issuing Entity’s portion of each REO Property (other than any portion related to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) remaining in the Issuing Entity pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  If the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan is the sole remaining asset of the Issuing Entity, the Holders of the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS] Certificates may exchange their Certificates for the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and terminate the Issuing Entity pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.



A-4-8










The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Issuing Entity created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Issuing Entity due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.


 


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


 


THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES APPLIED IN NEW YORK.

evidencing a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, consisting primarily of a pool of commercial mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans” (and a separate trust subordinate companion loan interest in a commercial mortgage loan)), all payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan due after the Cut-off Date, all REO Properties and revenues received in respect thereof, the mortgagee’s rights under the insurance policies, any Assignment of Leases, and any guaranties or other collateral as security for the Mortgage Loans and such amounts as shall from time to time be held in the Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts, the Interest Reserve Account, the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and the REO Accounts, formed and sold by


 


BANC OF AMERICA MERRILL LYNCH COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE INC.


 


THIS CERTIFIES THAT CEDE & CO. is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the [Class A-5] Certificates issued by the Issuing Entity created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of [_____], 20[__] (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among BANC OF AMERICA MERRILL LYNCH COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE INC. (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Operating Advisor.  A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter.  To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the [Class A-5] Certificates.  The Certificates are designated as the [ISSUING ENTITY], Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, [SERIES] and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Issuing Entity.


 


This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator.  This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is bound.  In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.


 


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.  Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.


 


Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.


 


Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the [Class A-5] 



A-5-4










Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Certificate Balance of this Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution Date.  Principal and interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the Available Funds to be distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


Realized Losses and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.


 


This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee on behalf of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom.  Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments.  Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and administration of the Issuing Entity.


 


All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor.  The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.


 


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


 


As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.



A-5-5










Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the [Class A-5] Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC in minimum denominations of $[_____], and in integral multiples of $[_] in excess thereof, with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial Certificate Balance of such Class.


 


No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Issuing Entity for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer.  The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.


 


The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Certificate Registrar and any of their agents may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agents shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.


 


The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties thereto, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or the Companion Holders:


 


(i) to correct any defect or ambiguity in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in order to address any manifest error in any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;


 


(ii) to cause the provisions in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to conform or be consistent with or in furtherance of the statements made in the Prospectus with respect to the Certificates, the Issuing Entity or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or to correct or supplement any of its provisions which may be inconsistent with any other provisions therein or to correct any error;


 


(iii) to change the timing and/or nature of deposits in the Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts or any REO Account; provided that (a) the Master Servicer Remittance Date shall in no event be later than the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date and (b) such change shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel at the expense of the party requesting such amendment or as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to such amendment;


 


(iv) to amend any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary or desirable to maintain the status of each REMIC (or any grantor trust portion of the Issuing Entity) for the purposes of federal income tax law (or comparable provisions of state income tax law);


 


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


 


(vi) to amend any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary or desirable to list the Certificates on a stock exchange, including, without limitation, the appointment of one or more sub-certificate administrators and the requirement that certain information be delivered to such sub-certificate administrators;


 


(vii) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under or with respect to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement not inconsistent with the provisions therein;



A-5-6










(viii) to modify, alter, amend, add or to rescind any of the provisions contained in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement if and to the extent necessary to comply with any rules or regulations promulgated, or any guidance provided with respect to Rule 15Ga-1 under the Exchange Act, by the SEC from time to time;


 


(ix) to modify the provisions of Sections 3.05 and 3.17 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (with respect to reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances and Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts) if (a) the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and, for so long as a Control Event has not occurred and is not continuing, the Directing Certificateholder, determine that the commercial mortgage backed securities industry standard for such provisions has changed, in order to conform to such industry standard, (b) each Rating Agency shall have been provided with a Rating Agency Communication with respect to such modification, and (c) if no Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Certificateholder consents to such modification;


 


(x) to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that if such modification materially increases the obligations of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the 17g-5 Information Provider, the Operating Advisor, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, then the consent of such party will be required;


 


(xi) in the event of a TIA Applicability Determination, to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as shall be necessary to (A) effect the qualification of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under the TIA or under any similar federal statute hereafter enacted and to add to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement such other provisions as may be expressly required by the TIA, and (B) modify such other provisions as are necessary to conform the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and be consistent with the modifications made pursuant to the preceding clause (A); provided that any amendment pursuant to this clause (xi) shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Depositor; and


 


(xii) any other amendment which does not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder (unless such Certificateholder consents).


 


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


 


            The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than 51% of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the Class for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:


 


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


 


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



A-5-7










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


 


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


 


(v) amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and confirmation of the applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any securities related to a Companion Loan, if any (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.27 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.


 


Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Asset Representations Reviewer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Issuing Entity’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Issuing Entity or any Trust REMIC, or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code. Furthermore, no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes in any material respect to the rights of the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS] Certificates without the consent of such Class and no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes any provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the [LOAN SPECIFIC] Intercreditor Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Non-Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s).


 


The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon 60 days’ prior notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan) (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Issuing Entity’s portion of each REO Property (other than any portion related to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) remaining in the Issuing Entity, and thereby effect termination of the Issuing Entity and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, on or after the first Distribution Date on which  the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the Issuing Entity’s portion of any REO Loans remaining in the Issuing Entity is less than [_____].


 


Following the date on which the [APPLICABLE CLASSES] Certificates are retired (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS], Class [ARD] and Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder may, at its option exchange (subject to the Master Servicer’s consent) all of its Certificates (other than the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS], Class [ARD] and Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) and the Issuing Entity’s portion of each REO Property (other than any portion related to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) remaining in the Issuing Entity pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  If the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan is the sole remaining asset of the Issuing Entity, the Holders of the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS] Certificates may exchange their Certificates for the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and terminate the Issuing Entity pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.



A-5-8










The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Issuing Entity created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Issuing Entity due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.


 


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


 


THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES APPLIED IN NEW YORK.

[CLASS A-SB] CERTIFICATE


 


evidencing a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, consisting primarily of a pool of commercial mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans” (and a separate trust subordinate companion loan interest in a commercial mortgage loan)), all payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan due after the Cut-off Date, all REO Properties and revenues received in respect thereof, the mortgagee’s rights under the insurance policies, any Assignment of Leases, and any guaranties or other collateral as security for the Mortgage Loans and such amounts as shall from time to time be held in the Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts, the Interest Reserve Account, the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and the REO Accounts, formed and sold by


 


BANC OF AMERICA MERRILL LYNCH COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE INC.


 


THIS CERTIFIES THAT CEDE & CO. is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the Class A-SB Certificates issued by the Issuing Entity created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of [_____], 20[__] (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among BANC OF AMERICA MERRILL LYNCH COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE INC. (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Operating Advisor.  A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter.  To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the Class A-SB Certificates.  The Certificates are designated as the [ISSUING ENTITY], Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, [SERIES] and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Issuing Entity.


 


This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator.  This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is bound.  In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.


 


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.  Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.


 


Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.


 


Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the [Class A-



A-6-4










SB] Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Certificate Balance of this Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution Date.  Principal and interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the Available Funds to be distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


Realized Losses and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.


 


This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee on behalf of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom.  Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments.  Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and administration of the Issuing Entity.


 


All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor.  The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.


 


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


 


As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.



A-6-5










Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the [Class A-SB] Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC in minimum denominations of $[_____], and in integral multiples of $[_] in excess thereof, with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial Certificate Balance of such Class.


 


No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Issuing Entity for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer.  The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.


 


The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Certificate Registrar and any of their agents may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agents shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.


 


The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties thereto, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or the Companion Holders:


 


(i) to correct any defect or ambiguity in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in order to address any manifest error in any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;


 


(ii) to cause the provisions in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to conform or be consistent with or in furtherance of the statements made in the Prospectus with respect to the Certificates, the Issuing Entity or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or to correct or supplement any of its provisions which may be inconsistent with any other provisions therein or to correct any error;


 


(iii) to change the timing and/or nature of deposits in the Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts or any REO Account; provided that (a) the Master Servicer Remittance Date shall in no event be later than the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date and (b) such change shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel at the expense of the party requesting such amendment or as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to such amendment;


 


(iv) to amend any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary or desirable to maintain the status of each REMIC (or any grantor trust portion of the Issuing Entity) for the purposes of federal income tax law (or comparable provisions of state income tax law);


 


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


 


(vi) to amend any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary or desirable to list the Certificates on a stock exchange, including, without limitation, the appointment of one or more sub-certificate administrators and the requirement that certain information be delivered to such sub-certificate administrators;


 


(vii) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under or with respect to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement not inconsistent with the provisions therein;

(viii) to modify, alter, amend, add or to rescind any of the provisions contained in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement if and to the extent necessary to comply with any rules or regulations promulgated, or any guidance provided with respect to Rule 15Ga-1 under the Exchange Act, by the SEC from time to time;


 


(ix) to modify the provisions of Sections 3.05 and 3.17 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (with respect to reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances and Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts) if (a) the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and, for so long as a Control Event has not occurred and is not continuing, the Directing Certificateholder, determine that the commercial mortgage backed securities industry standard for such provisions has changed, in order to conform to such industry standard, (b) each Rating Agency shall have been provided with a Rating Agency Communication with respect to such modification, and (c) if no Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Certificateholder consents to such modification;


 


(x) to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that if such modification materially increases the obligations of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the 17g-5 Information Provider, the Operating Advisor, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, then the consent of such party will be required;


 


(xi) in the event of a TIA Applicability Determination, to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as shall be necessary to (A) effect the qualification of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under the TIA or under any similar federal statute hereafter enacted and to add to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement such other provisions as may be expressly required by the TIA, and (B) modify such other provisions as are necessary to conform the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and be consistent with the modifications made pursuant to the preceding clause (A); provided that any amendment pursuant to this clause (xi) shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Depositor; and


 


(xii) any other amendment which does not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder (unless such Certificateholder consents).


 


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


 


            The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than 51% of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the Class for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:


 


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


 


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



A-6-7










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


 


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


 


(v) amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and confirmation of the applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any securities related to a Companion Loan, if any (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.27 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.


 


Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Asset Representations Reviewer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Issuing Entity’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Issuing Entity or any Trust REMIC, or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code. Furthermore, no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes in any material respect to the rights of the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS] Certificates without the consent of such Class and no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes any provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the [LOAN SPECIFIC] Intercreditor Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Non-Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s).


 


The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon 60 days’ prior notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan) (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Issuing Entity’s portion of each REO Property (other than any portion related to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) remaining in the Issuing Entity, and thereby effect termination of the Issuing Entity and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, on or after the first Distribution Date on which  the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the Issuing Entity’s portion of any REO Loans remaining in the Issuing Entity is less than [_____].


 


Following the date on which the [APPLICABLE CLASSES] Certificates are retired (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS], Class [ARD] and Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder may, at its option exchange (subject to the Master Servicer’s consent) all of its Certificates (other than the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS], Class [ARD] and Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) and the Issuing Entity’s portion of each REO Property (other than any portion related to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) remaining in the Issuing Entity pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  If the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan is the sole remaining asset of the Issuing Entity, the Holders of the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS] Certificates may exchange their Certificates for the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and terminate the Issuing Entity pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.



A-6-8










The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Issuing Entity created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Issuing Entity due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.


 


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


 


THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES APPLIED IN NEW YORK.

[CLASS X-A] CERTIFICATE


 


evidencing a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, consisting primarily of a pool of commercial mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans” (and a separate trust subordinate companion loan interest in a commercial mortgage loan)), all payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan due after the Cut-off Date, all REO Properties and revenues received in respect thereof, the mortgagee’s rights under the insurance policies, any Assignment of Leases, and any guaranties or other collateral as security for the Mortgage Loans and such amounts as shall from time to time be held in the Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts, the Interest Reserve Account, the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and the REO Accounts, formed and sold by


 


BANC OF AMERICA MERRILL LYNCH COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE INC.


 


THIS CERTIFIES THAT CEDE & CO. is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the [Class X-A] Certificates issued by the Issuing Entity created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of [_____], 20[__] (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among BANC OF AMERICA MERRILL LYNCH COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE INC. (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Operating Advisor.  A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter.  To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the [Class X-A] Certificates.  The Certificates are designated as the [ISSUING ENTITY], Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, [SERIES] and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Issuing Entity.


 


This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator.  This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is bound.  In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.


 


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.  Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.


 


Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.



A-7-4










Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the [Class X-A] Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Certificate Balance of this Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution Date.  Interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the Available Funds to be distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


Realized Losses and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.


 


This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee on behalf of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom.  Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments.  Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and administration of the Issuing Entity.


 


All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor.  The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.


 


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


 


As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in 



A-7-5










writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.


 


Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the [Class X-A] Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC in minimum denominations of $[________] initial Certificate Balance, and in integral multiples of $[_] in excess thereof, with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial Certificate Balance of such Class.


 


No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Issuing Entity for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer.  The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.


 


The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Certificate Registrar and any of their agents may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agents shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.


 


The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties thereto, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or the Companion Holders:


 


(i) to correct any defect or ambiguity in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in order to address any manifest error in any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;


 


(ii) to cause the provisions in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to conform or be consistent with or in furtherance of the statements made in the Prospectus with respect to the Certificates, the Issuing Entity or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or to correct or supplement any of its provisions which may be inconsistent with any other provisions therein or to correct any error;


 


(iii) to change the timing and/or nature of deposits in the Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts or any REO Account; provided that (a) the Master Servicer Remittance Date shall in no event be later than the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date and (b) such change shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel at the expense of the party requesting such amendment or as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to such amendment;


 


(iv) to amend any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary or desirable to maintain the status of each REMIC (or any grantor trust portion of the Issuing Entity) for the purposes of federal income tax law (or comparable provisions of state income tax law);


 


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


 


(vi) to amend any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary or desirable to list the Certificates on a stock exchange, including, without limitation, the appointment of one or more sub-certificate administrators and the requirement that certain information be delivered to such sub-certificate administrators;



A-7-6










(vii) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under or with respect to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement not inconsistent with the provisions therein;


 


(viii) to modify, alter, amend, add or to rescind any of the provisions contained in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement if and to the extent necessary to comply with any rules or regulations promulgated, or any guidance provided with respect to Rule 15Ga-1 under the Exchange Act, by the SEC from time to time;


 


(ix) to modify the provisions of Sections 3.05 and 3.17 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (with respect to reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances and Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts) if (a) the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and, for so long as a Control Event has not occurred and is not continuing, the Directing Certificateholder, determine that the commercial mortgage backed securities industry standard for such provisions has changed, in order to conform to such industry standard, (b) each Rating Agency shall have been provided with a Rating Agency Communication with respect to such modification, and (c) if no Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Certificateholder consents to such modification;


 


(x) to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that if such modification materially increases the obligations of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the 17g-5 Information Provider, the Operating Advisor, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, then the consent of such party will be required;


 


(xi) in the event of a TIA Applicability Determination, to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as shall be necessary to (A) effect the qualification of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under the TIA or under any similar federal statute hereafter enacted and to add to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement such other provisions as may be expressly required by the TIA, and (B) modify such other provisions as are necessary to conform the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and be consistent with the modifications made pursuant to the preceding clause (A); provided that any amendment pursuant to this clause (xi) shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Depositor; and


 


(xii) any other amendment which does not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder (unless such Certificateholder consents).


 


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


 


The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than 51% of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the Class for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:


 


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


 


(ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or remove the requirement to obtain consent of any Companion



A-7-7










Holder or Holder of [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS] Certificates, in any such case without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding or such Companion Holders, as applicable; or


 


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


 


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


 


(v) amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and confirmation of the applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any securities related to a Companion Loan, if any (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.27 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.


 


Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Asset Representations Reviewer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Issuing Entity’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Issuing Entity or any Trust REMIC, or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code. Furthermore, no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes in any material respect to the rights of the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS] Certificates without the consent of such Class and no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes any provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the [LOAN SPECIFIC] Intercreditor Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Non-Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s).


 


The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon 60 days’ prior notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan) (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Issuing Entity’s portion of each REO Property (other than any portion related to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) remaining in the Issuing Entity, and thereby effect termination of the Issuing Entity and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, on or after the first Distribution Date on which  the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the Issuing Entity’s portion of any REO Loans remaining in the Issuing Entity is less than [_____].


 


Following the date on which the [APPLICABLE CLASSES] Certificates are retired (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS], Class [ARD] and Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder may, at its option exchange (subject to the Master Servicer’s consent) all of its Certificates (other than the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS], Class [ARD] and Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) and the Issuing Entity’s portion of each REO Property (other than any portion related to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) remaining in the Issuing Entity pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  If the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan is the sole remaining asset of the Issuing Entity, the Holders of the [LOAN SPECIFIC 



A-7-8










CLASS] Certificates may exchange their Certificates for the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and terminate the Issuing Entity pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Issuing Entity created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Issuing Entity due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.


 


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


 


THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES APPLIED IN NEW YORK.

[CLASS X-B] CERTIFICATE


 


evidencing a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, consisting primarily of a pool of commercial mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans” (and a separate trust subordinate companion loan interest in a commercial mortgage loan)), all payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan due after the Cut-off Date, all REO Properties and revenues received in respect thereof, the mortgagee’s rights under the insurance policies, any Assignment of Leases, and any guaranties or other collateral as security for the Mortgage Loans and such amounts as shall from time to time be held in the Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts, the Interest Reserve Account, the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and the REO Accounts, formed and sold by


 


BANC OF AMERICA MERRILL LYNCH COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE INC.


 


THIS CERTIFIES THAT CEDE & CO. is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the [Class X-B] Certificates issued by the Issuing Entity created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of [_____], 20[__] (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among BANC OF AMERICA MERRILL LYNCH COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE INC. (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Operating Advisor.  A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter.  To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the [Class X-B] Certificates.  The Certificates are designated as the [ISSUING ENTITY], Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, [SERIES] and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Issuing Entity.


 


This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator.  This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is bound.  In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.


 


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.  Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.


 


Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.


 


Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the [Class X-B] 



A-8-4










Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Certificate Balance of this Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution Date.  Interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the Available Funds to be distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


Realized Losses and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.


 


This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee on behalf of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom.  Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments.  Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and administration of the Issuing Entity.


 


All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor.  The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.


 


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


 


As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.



A-8-5










Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the [Class X-B] Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC in minimum denominations of $[________] initial Certificate Balance, and in integral multiples of $[_] in excess thereof, with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial Certificate Balance of such Class.


 


No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Issuing Entity for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer.  The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.


 


The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Certificate Registrar and any of their agents may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agents shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.


 


The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties thereto, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or the Companion Holders:


 


(i) to correct any defect or ambiguity in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in order to address any manifest error in any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;


 


(ii) to cause the provisions in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to conform or be consistent with or in furtherance of the statements made in the Prospectus with respect to the Certificates, the Issuing Entity or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or to correct or supplement any of its provisions which may be inconsistent with any other provisions therein or to correct any error;


 


(iii) to change the timing and/or nature of deposits in the Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts or any REO Account; provided that (a) the Master Servicer Remittance Date shall in no event be later than the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date and (b) such change shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel at the expense of the party requesting such amendment or as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to such amendment;


 


(iv) to amend any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary or desirable to maintain the status of each REMIC (or any grantor trust portion of the Issuing Entity) for the purposes of federal income tax law (or comparable provisions of state income tax law);


 


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


 


(vi) to amend any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary or desirable to list the Certificates on a stock exchange, including, without limitation, the appointment of one or more sub-certificate administrators and the requirement that certain information be delivered to such sub-certificate administrators;


 


(vii) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under or with respect to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement not inconsistent with the provisions therein;



A-8-6










(viii) to modify, alter, amend, add or to rescind any of the provisions contained in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement if and to the extent necessary to comply with any rules or regulations promulgated, or any guidance provided with respect to Rule 15Ga-1 under the Exchange Act, by the SEC from time to time;


 


(ix) to modify the provisions of Sections 3.05 and 3.17 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (with respect to reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances and Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts) if (a) the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and, for so long as a Control Event has not occurred and is not continuing, the Directing Certificateholder, determine that the commercial mortgage backed securities industry standard for such provisions has changed, in order to conform to such industry standard, (b) each Rating Agency shall have been provided with a Rating Agency Communication with respect to such modification, and (c) if no Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Certificateholder consents to such modification;


 


(x) to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that if such modification materially increases the obligations of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the 17g-5 Information Provider, the Operating Advisor, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, then the consent of such party will be required;


 


(xi) in the event of a TIA Applicability Determination, to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as shall be necessary to (A) effect the qualification of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under the TIA or under any similar federal statute hereafter enacted and to add to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement such other provisions as may be expressly required by the TIA, and (B) modify such other provisions as are necessary to conform the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and be consistent with the modifications made pursuant to the preceding clause (A); provided that any amendment pursuant to this clause (xi) shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Depositor; and


 


(xii) any other amendment which does not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder (unless such Certificateholder consents).


 


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


 


            The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than 51% of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the Class for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:


 


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


 


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



A-8-7










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


 


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


 


(v) amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and confirmation of the applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any securities related to a Companion Loan, if any (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.27 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.


 


Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Asset Representations Reviewer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Issuing Entity’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Issuing Entity or any Trust REMIC, or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code. Furthermore, no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes in any material respect to the rights of the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS] Certificates without the consent of such Class and no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes any provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the [LOAN SPECIFIC] Intercreditor Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Non-Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s).


 


The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon 60 days’ prior notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan) (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Issuing Entity’s portion of each REO Property (other than any portion related to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) remaining in the Issuing Entity, and thereby effect termination of the Issuing Entity and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, on or after the first Distribution Date on which  the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the Issuing Entity’s portion of any REO Loans remaining in the Issuing Entity is less than [_____].


 


Following the date on which the [APPLICABLE CLASSES] Certificates are retired (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS], Class [ARD] and Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder may, at its option exchange (subject to the Master Servicer’s consent) all of its Certificates (other than the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS], Class [ARD] and Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) and the Issuing Entity’s portion of each REO Property (other than any portion related to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) remaining in the Issuing Entity pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  If the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan is the sole remaining asset of the Issuing Entity, the Holders of the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS] Certificates may exchange their Certificates for the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and terminate the Issuing Entity pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.



A-8-8










The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Issuing Entity created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Issuing Entity due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.


 


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


 


THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES APPLIED IN NEW YORK.

[CLASS X-C] CERTIFICATE


 


evidencing a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, consisting primarily of a pool of commercial mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans” (and a separate trust subordinate companion loan interest in a commercial mortgage loan)), all payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan due after the Cut-off Date, all REO Properties and revenues received in respect thereof, the mortgagee’s rights under the insurance policies, any Assignment of Leases, and any guaranties or other collateral as security for the Mortgage Loans and such amounts as shall from time to time be held in the Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts, the Interest Reserve Account, the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and the REO Accounts, formed and sold by


 


BANC OF AMERICA MERRILL LYNCH COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE INC.


 


THIS CERTIFIES THAT CEDE & CO. is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the [Class X-C] Certificates issued by the Issuing Entity created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of [_____], 20[__] (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among BANC OF AMERICA MERRILL LYNCH COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE INC. (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Operating Advisor.  A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter.  To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the [Class X-C] Certificates.  The Certificates are designated as the [ISSUING ENTITY], Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, [SERIES] and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Issuing Entity.


 


This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator.  This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is bound.  In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.


 


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.  Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.


 


Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.


 


Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the [Class X-C] 



A-9-4










Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Certificate Balance of this Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution Date.  Interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the Available Funds to be distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


Realized Losses and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.


 


This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee on behalf of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom.  Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments.  Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and administration of the Issuing Entity.


 


All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor.  The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.


 


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


 


As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.



A-9-5










Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the [Class X-C] Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC in minimum denominations of $[________] initial Certificate Balance, and in integral multiples of $[_] in excess thereof, with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial Certificate Balance of such Class.


 


No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Issuing Entity for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer.  The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.


 


The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Certificate Registrar and any of their agents may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agents shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.


 


The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties thereto, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or the Companion Holders:


 


(i) to correct any defect or ambiguity in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in order to address any manifest error in any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;


 


(ii) to cause the provisions in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to conform or be consistent with or in furtherance of the statements made in the Prospectus with respect to the Certificates, the Issuing Entity or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or to correct or supplement any of its provisions which may be inconsistent with any other provisions therein or to correct any error;


 


(iii) to change the timing and/or nature of deposits in the Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts or any REO Account; provided that (a) the Master Servicer Remittance Date shall in no event be later than the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date and (b) such change shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel at the expense of the party requesting such amendment or as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to such amendment;


 


(iv) to amend any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary or desirable to maintain the status of each REMIC (or any grantor trust portion of the Issuing Entity) for the purposes of federal income tax law (or comparable provisions of state income tax law);


 


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


 


(vi) to amend any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary or desirable to list the Certificates on a stock exchange, including, without limitation, the appointment of one or more sub-certificate administrators and the requirement that certain information be delivered to such sub-certificate administrators;


 


(vii) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under or with respect to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement not inconsistent with the provisions therein;



A-9-6










(viii) to modify, alter, amend, add or to rescind any of the provisions contained in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement if and to the extent necessary to comply with any rules or regulations promulgated, or any guidance provided with respect to Rule 15Ga-1 under the Exchange Act, by the SEC from time to time;


 


(ix) to modify the provisions of Sections 3.05 and 3.17 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (with respect to reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances and Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts) if (a) the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and, for so long as a Control Event has not occurred and is not continuing, the Directing Certificateholder, determine that the commercial mortgage backed securities industry standard for such provisions has changed, in order to conform to such industry standard, (b) each Rating Agency shall have been provided with a Rating Agency Communication with respect to such modification, and (c) if no Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Certificateholder consents to such modification;


 


(x) to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that if such modification materially increases the obligations of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the 17g-5 Information Provider, the Operating Advisor, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, then the consent of such party will be required;


 


(xi) in the event of a TIA Applicability Determination, to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as shall be necessary to (A) effect the qualification of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under the TIA or under any similar federal statute hereafter enacted and to add to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement such other provisions as may be expressly required by the TIA, and (B) modify such other provisions as are necessary to conform the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and be consistent with the modifications made pursuant to the preceding clause (A); provided that any amendment pursuant to this clause (xi) shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Depositor; and


 


(xii) any other amendment which does not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder (unless such Certificateholder consents).


 


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


 


            The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than 51% of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the Class for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:


 


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


 


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



A-9-7










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


 


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


 


(v) amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and confirmation of the applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any securities related to a Companion Loan, if any (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.27 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.


 


Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Asset Representations Reviewer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Issuing Entity’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Issuing Entity or any Trust REMIC, or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code. Furthermore, no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes in any material respect to the rights of the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS] Certificates without the consent of such Class and no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes any provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the [LOAN SPECIFIC] Intercreditor Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Non-Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s).


 


The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon 60 days’ prior notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan) (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Issuing Entity’s portion of each REO Property (other than any portion related to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) remaining in the Issuing Entity, and thereby effect termination of the Issuing Entity and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, on or after the first Distribution Date on which  the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the Issuing Entity’s portion of any REO Loans remaining in the Issuing Entity is less than [_____].


 


Following the date on which the [APPLICABLE CLASSES] Certificates are retired (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS], Class [ARD] and Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder may, at its option exchange (subject to the Master Servicer’s consent) all of its Certificates (other than the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS], Class [ARD] and Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) and the Issuing Entity’s portion of each REO Property (other than any portion related to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) remaining in the Issuing Entity pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  If the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan is the sole remaining asset of the Issuing Entity, the Holders of the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS] Certificates may exchange their Certificates for the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and terminate the Issuing Entity pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.



A-9-8










The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Issuing Entity created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Issuing Entity due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.


 


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


 


THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES APPLIED IN NEW YORK.

[CLASS X-D] CERTIFICATE


 


evidencing a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, consisting primarily of a pool of commercial mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans” (and a separate trust subordinate companion loan interest in a commercial mortgage loan)), all payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan due after the Cut-off Date, all REO Properties and revenues received in respect thereof, the mortgagee’s rights under the insurance policies, any Assignment of Leases, and any guaranties or other collateral as security for the Mortgage Loans and such amounts as shall from time to time be held in the Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts, the Interest Reserve Account, the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and the REO Accounts, formed and sold by


 


BANC OF AMERICA MERRILL LYNCH COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE INC.


 


THIS CERTIFIES THAT CEDE & CO. is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the [Class X-D] Certificates issued by the Issuing Entity created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of [_____], 20[__] (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among BANC OF AMERICA MERRILL LYNCH COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE INC. (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Operating Advisor.  A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter.  To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the [Class X-D] Certificates.  The Certificates are designated as the [ISSUING ENTITY], Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, [SERIES] and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Issuing Entity.


 


This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator.  This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is bound.  In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.


 


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.  Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.


 


Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.



A-10-4










Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the [Class X-D] Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Certificate Balance of this Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution Date.  Interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the Available Funds to be distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


Realized Losses and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.


 


This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee on behalf of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom.  Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments.  Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and administration of the Issuing Entity.


 


All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor.  The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.


 


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


 


As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in 



A-10-5










writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.


 


Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the [Class X-D] Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC in minimum denominations of $[_____] initial Certificate Balance, and in integral multiples of $[_] in excess thereof, with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial Certificate Balance of such Class.


 


No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Issuing Entity for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer.  The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.


 


The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Certificate Registrar and any of their agents may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agents shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.


 


The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties thereto, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or the Companion Holders:


 


(i) to correct any defect or ambiguity in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in order to address any manifest error in any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;


 


(ii) to cause the provisions in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to conform or be consistent with or in furtherance of the statements made in the Prospectus with respect to the Certificates, the Issuing Entity or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or to correct or supplement any of its provisions which may be inconsistent with any other provisions therein or to correct any error;


 


(iii) to change the timing and/or nature of deposits in the Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts or any REO Account; provided that (a) the Master Servicer Remittance Date shall in no event be later than the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date and (b) such change shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel at the expense of the party requesting such amendment or as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to such amendment;


 


(iv) to amend any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary or desirable to maintain the status of each REMIC (or any grantor trust portion of the Issuing Entity) for the purposes of federal income tax law (or comparable provisions of state income tax law);


 


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


 


(vi) to amend any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary or desirable to list the Certificates on a stock exchange, including, without limitation, the appointment of one or more sub-certificate administrators and the requirement that certain information be delivered to such sub-certificate administrators;



A-10-6










(vii) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under or with respect to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement not inconsistent with the provisions therein;


 


(viii) to modify, alter, amend, add or to rescind any of the provisions contained in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement if and to the extent necessary to comply with any rules or regulations promulgated, or any guidance provided with respect to Rule 15Ga-1 under the Exchange Act, by the SEC from time to time;


 


(ix) to modify the provisions of Sections 3.05 and 3.17 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (with respect to reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances and Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts) if (a) the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and, for so long as a Control Event has not occurred and is not continuing, the Directing Certificateholder, determine that the commercial mortgage backed securities industry standard for such provisions has changed, in order to conform to such industry standard, (b) each Rating Agency shall have been provided with a Rating Agency Communication with respect to such modification, and (c) if no Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Certificateholder consents to such modification;


 


(x) to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that if such modification materially increases the obligations of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the 17g-5 Information Provider, the Operating Advisor, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, then the consent of such party will be required;


 


(xi) in the event of a TIA Applicability Determination, to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as shall be necessary to (A) effect the qualification of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under the TIA or under any similar federal statute hereafter enacted and to add to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement such other provisions as may be expressly required by the TIA, and (B) modify such other provisions as are necessary to conform the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and be consistent with the modifications made pursuant to the preceding clause (A); provided that any amendment pursuant to this clause (xi) shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Depositor; and


 


(xii) any other amendment which does not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder (unless such Certificateholder consents).


 


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


 


            The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than 51% of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the Class for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:


 


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


 


(ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or remove the requirement to obtain consent of any Companion


 



A-10-7










Holder or Holder of [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS] Certificates, in any such case without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding or such Companion Holders, as applicable; or


 


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


 


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


 


(v) amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and confirmation of the applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any securities related to a Companion Loan, if any (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.27 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.


 


Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Asset Representations Reviewer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Issuing Entity’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Issuing Entity or any Trust REMIC, or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code. Furthermore, no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes in any material respect to the rights of the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS] Certificates without the consent of such Class and no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes any provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the [LOAN SPECIFIC] Intercreditor Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Non-Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s).


 


The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon 60 days’ prior notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan) (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Issuing Entity’s portion of each REO Property (other than any portion related to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) remaining in the Issuing Entity, and thereby effect termination of the Issuing Entity and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, on or after the first Distribution Date on which  the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the Issuing Entity’s portion of any REO Loans remaining in the Issuing Entity is less than [_____].


 


Following the date on which the [APPLICABLE CLASSES] Certificates are retired (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS], Class [ARD] and Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder may, at its option exchange (subject to the Master Servicer’s consent) all of its Certificates (other than the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS], Class [ARD] and Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) and the Issuing Entity’s portion of each REO Property (other than any portion related to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) remaining in the Issuing Entity pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  If the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan is the sole remaining asset of the Issuing Entity, the Holders of the [LOAN SPECIFIC 



A-10-8










CLASS] Certificates may exchange their Certificates for the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and terminate the Issuing Entity pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Issuing Entity created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Issuing Entity due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.


 


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


 


THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES APPLIED IN NEW YORK.

evidencing a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, consisting primarily of a pool of commercial mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans” (and a separate trust subordinate companion loan interest in a commercial mortgage loan)), all payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan due after the Cut-off Date, all REO Properties and revenues received in respect thereof, the mortgagee’s rights under the insurance policies, any Assignment of Leases, and any guaranties or other collateral as security for the Mortgage Loans and such amounts as shall from time to time be held in the Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts, the Interest Reserve Account, the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and the REO Accounts, formed and sold by


 


BANC OF AMERICA MERRILL LYNCH COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE INC.


 


THIS CERTIFIES THAT CEDE & CO. is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the [Class X-E] Certificates issued by the Issuing Entity created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of [_____], 20[__] (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among BANC OF AMERICA MERRILL LYNCH COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE INC. (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Operating Advisor.  A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter.  To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the [Class X-E] Certificates.  The Certificates are designated as the [ISSUING ENTITY], Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, [SERIES] and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Issuing Entity.


 


This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator.  This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is bound.  In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.


 


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.  Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.


 


Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.


 


Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the [Class X-E] Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Certificate Balance of this Certificate immediately prior to each 



A-11-4










Distribution Date.  Interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the Available Funds to be distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


Realized Losses and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.


 


This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee on behalf of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom.  Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments.  Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and administration of the Issuing Entity.


 


All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor.  The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.


 


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


 


As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.



A-11-5










Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the [Class X-E] Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC in minimum denominations of $[_____] initial Certificate Balance, and in integral multiples of $[_] in excess thereof, with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial Certificate Balance of such Class.


 


No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Issuing Entity for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer.  The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.


 


The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Certificate Registrar and any of their agents may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agents shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.


 


The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties thereto, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or the Companion Holders:


 


(i) to correct any defect or ambiguity in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in order to address any manifest error in any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;


 


(ii) to cause the provisions in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to conform or be consistent with or in furtherance of the statements made in the Prospectus with respect to the Certificates, the Issuing Entity or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or to correct or supplement any of its provisions which may be inconsistent with any other provisions therein or to correct any error;


 


(iii) to change the timing and/or nature of deposits in the Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts or any REO Account; provided that (a) the Master Servicer Remittance Date shall in no event be later than the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date and (b) such change shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel at the expense of the party requesting such amendment or as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to such amendment;


 


(iv) to amend any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary or desirable to maintain the status of each REMIC (or any grantor trust portion of the Issuing Entity) for the purposes of federal income tax law (or comparable provisions of state income tax law);


 


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


 


(vi) to amend any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary or desirable to list the Certificates on a stock exchange, including, without limitation, the appointment of one or more sub-certificate administrators and the requirement that certain information be delivered to such sub-certificate administrators;


 


(vii) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under or with respect to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement not inconsistent with the provisions therein;



A-11-6










(viii) to modify, alter, amend, add or to rescind any of the provisions contained in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement if and to the extent necessary to comply with any rules or regulations promulgated, or any guidance provided with respect to Rule 15Ga-1 under the Exchange Act, by the SEC from time to time;


 


(ix) to modify the provisions of Sections 3.05 and 3.17 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (with respect to reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances and Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts) if (a) the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and, for so long as a Control Event has not occurred and is not continuing, the Directing Certificateholder, determine that the commercial mortgage backed securities industry standard for such provisions has changed, in order to conform to such industry standard, (b) each Rating Agency shall have been provided with a Rating Agency Communication with respect to such modification, and (c) if no Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Certificateholder consents to such modification;


 


(x) to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that if such modification materially increases the obligations of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the 17g-5 Information Provider, the Operating Advisor, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, then the consent of such party will be required;


 


(xi) in the event of a TIA Applicability Determination, to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as shall be necessary to (A) effect the qualification of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under the TIA or under any similar federal statute hereafter enacted and to add to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement such other provisions as may be expressly required by the TIA, and (B) modify such other provisions as are necessary to conform the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and be consistent with the modifications made pursuant to the preceding clause (A); provided that any amendment pursuant to this clause (xi) shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Depositor; and


 


(xii) any other amendment which does not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder (unless such Certificateholder consents).


 


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


 


            The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than 51% of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the Class for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:


 


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


 


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



A-11-7










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


 


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


 


(v) amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and confirmation of the applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any securities related to a Companion Loan, if any (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.27 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.


 


Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Asset Representations Reviewer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Issuing Entity’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Issuing Entity or any Trust REMIC, or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code. Furthermore, no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes in any material respect to the rights of the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS] Certificates without the consent of such Class and no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes any provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the [LOAN SPECIFIC] Intercreditor Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Non-Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s).


 


The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon 60 days’ prior notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan) (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Issuing Entity’s portion of each REO Property (other than any portion related to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) remaining in the Issuing Entity, and thereby effect termination of the Issuing Entity and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, on or after the first Distribution Date on which  the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the Issuing Entity’s portion of any REO Loans remaining in the Issuing Entity is less than [_____].


 


Following the date on which the [APPLICABLE CLASSES] Certificates are retired (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS], Class [ARD] and Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder may, at its option exchange (subject to the Master Servicer’s consent) all of its Certificates (other than the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS], Class [ARD] and Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) and the Issuing Entity’s portion of each REO Property (other than any portion related to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) remaining in the Issuing Entity pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  If the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan is the sole remaining asset of the Issuing Entity, the Holders of the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS] Certificates may exchange their Certificates for the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and terminate the Issuing Entity pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.



A-11-8










 


The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Issuing Entity created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Issuing Entity due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.


 


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


 


THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES APPLIED IN NEW YORK.

BANC OF AMERICA MERRILL LYNCH COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE INC.


 


THIS CERTIFIES THAT CEDE & CO. is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the [Class X-F] Certificates issued by the Issuing Entity created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of [_____], 20[__] (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among BANC OF AMERICA MERRILL LYNCH COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE INC. (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Operating Advisor.  A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter.  To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the [Class X-F] Certificates.  The Certificates are designated as the [ISSUING ENTITY], Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, [SERIES] and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Issuing Entity.


 


This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator.  This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is bound.  In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.


 


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.  Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.


 


Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.


 


Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the [Class X-F] Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Certificate Balance of this Certificate immediately prior to each 



A-12-4










Distribution Date.  Interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the Available Funds to be distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


Realized Losses and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.


 


This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee on behalf of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom.  Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments.  Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and administration of the Issuing Entity.


 


All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor.  The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.


 


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


 


As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.



A-12-5










Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the [Class X-F] Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC in minimum denominations of $[_____] initial Certificate Balance, and in integral multiples of $[_] in excess thereof, with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial Certificate Balance of such Class.


 


No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Issuing Entity for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer.  The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.


 


The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Certificate Registrar and any of their agents may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agents shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.


 


The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties thereto, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or the Companion Holders:


 


(i) to correct any defect or ambiguity in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in order to address any manifest error in any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;


 


(ii) to cause the provisions in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to conform or be consistent with or in furtherance of the statements made in the Prospectus with respect to the Certificates, the Issuing Entity or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or to correct or supplement any of its provisions which may be inconsistent with any other provisions therein or to correct any error;


 


(iii) to change the timing and/or nature of deposits in the Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts or any REO Account; provided that (a) the Master Servicer Remittance Date shall in no event be later than the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date and (b) such change shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel at the expense of the party requesting such amendment or as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to such amendment;


 


(iv) to amend any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary or desirable to maintain the status of each REMIC (or any grantor trust portion of the Issuing Entity) for the purposes of federal income tax law (or comparable provisions of state income tax law);


 


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


 


(vi) to amend any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary or desirable to list the Certificates on a stock exchange, including, without limitation, the appointment of one or more sub-certificate administrators and the requirement that certain information be delivered to such sub-certificate administrators;


 


(vii) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under or with respect to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement not inconsistent with the provisions therein;



A-12-6










(viii) to modify, alter, amend, add or to rescind any of the provisions contained in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement if and to the extent necessary to comply with any rules or regulations promulgated, or any guidance provided with respect to Rule 15Ga-1 under the Exchange Act, by the SEC from time to time;


 


(ix) to modify the provisions of Sections 3.05 and 3.17 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (with respect to reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances and Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts) if (a) the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and, for so long as a Control Event has not occurred and is not continuing, the Directing Certificateholder, determine that the commercial mortgage backed securities industry standard for such provisions has changed, in order to conform to such industry standard, (b) each Rating Agency shall have been provided with a Rating Agency Communication with respect to such modification, and (c) if no Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Certificateholder consents to such modification;


 


(x) to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that if such modification materially increases the obligations of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the 17g-5 Information Provider, the Operating Advisor, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, then the consent of such party will be required;


 


(xi) in the event of a TIA Applicability Determination, to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as shall be necessary to (A) effect the qualification of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under the TIA or under any similar federal statute hereafter enacted and to add to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement such other provisions as may be expressly required by the TIA, and (B) modify such other provisions as are necessary to conform the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and be consistent with the modifications made pursuant to the preceding clause (A); provided that any amendment pursuant to this clause (xi) shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Depositor; and


 


(xii) any other amendment which does not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder (unless such Certificateholder consents).


 


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


 


            The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than 51% of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the Class for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:


 


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


 


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



A-12-7










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


 


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


 


(v) amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and confirmation of the applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any securities related to a Companion Loan, if any (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.27 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.


 


Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Asset Representations Reviewer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Issuing Entity’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Issuing Entity or any Trust REMIC, or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code. Furthermore, no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes in any material respect to the rights of the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS] Certificates without the consent of such Class and no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes any provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the [LOAN SPECIFIC] Intercreditor Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Non-Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s).


 


The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon 60 days’ prior notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan) (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Issuing Entity’s portion of each REO Property (other than any portion related to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) remaining in the Issuing Entity, and thereby effect termination of the Issuing Entity and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, on or after the first Distribution Date on which  the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the Issuing Entity’s portion of any REO Loans remaining in the Issuing Entity is less than [_____].


 


Following the date on which the [APPLICABLE CLASSES] Certificates are retired (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS], Class [ARD] and Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder may, at its option exchange (subject to the Master Servicer’s consent) all of its Certificates (other than the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS], Class [ARD] and Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) and the Issuing Entity’s portion of each REO Property (other than any portion related to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) remaining in the Issuing Entity pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  If the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan is the sole remaining asset of the Issuing Entity, the Holders of the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS] Certificates may exchange their Certificates for the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and terminate the Issuing Entity pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.



A-12-8










The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Issuing Entity created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Issuing Entity due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.


 


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


 


THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES APPLIED IN NEW YORK.

BANC OF AMERICA MERRILL LYNCH COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE INC.


 


THIS CERTIFIES THAT CEDE & CO. is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the [Class X-NR] Certificates issued by the Issuing Entity created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of [_____], 20[__] (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among BANC OF AMERICA MERRILL LYNCH COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE INC. (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Operating Advisor.  A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter.  To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the [Class X-NR] Certificates.  The Certificates are designated as the [ISSUING ENTITY], Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, [SERIES] and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Issuing Entity.


 


This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator.  This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is bound.  In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.


 


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.  Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.


 


Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.


 


Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the 



A-13-4










[Class X-NR] Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Certificate Balance of this Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution Date.  Interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the Available Funds to be distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


Realized Losses and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.


 


This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee on behalf of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom.  Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments.  Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and administration of the Issuing Entity.


 


All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor.  The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.


 


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


 


As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.


 



A-13-5










Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the [Class X-NR] Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC in minimum denominations of $[_____] initial Certificate Balance, and in integral multiples of $[1] in excess thereof, with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial Certificate Balance of such Class.


 


No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Issuing Entity for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer.  The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.


 


The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Certificate Registrar and any of their agents may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agents shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.


 


The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties thereto, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or the Companion Holders:


 


(i) to correct any defect or ambiguity in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in order to address any manifest error in any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;


 


(ii) to cause the provisions in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to conform or be consistent with or in furtherance of the statements made in the Prospectus with respect to the Certificates, the Issuing Entity or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or to correct or supplement any of its provisions which may be inconsistent with any other provisions therein or to correct any error;


 


(iii) to change the timing and/or nature of deposits in the Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts or any REO Account; provided that (a) the Master Servicer Remittance Date shall in no event be later than the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date and (b) such change shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel at the expense of the party requesting such amendment or as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to such amendment;


 


(iv) to amend any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary or desirable to maintain the status of each REMIC (or any grantor trust portion of the Issuing Entity) for the purposes of federal income tax law (or comparable provisions of state income tax law);


 


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


 


(vi) to amend any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary or desirable to list the Certificates on a stock exchange, including, without limitation, the appointment of one or more sub-certificate administrators and the requirement that certain information be delivered to such sub-certificate administrators;


 


(vii) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under or with respect to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement not inconsistent with the provisions therein;


 



A-13-6










(viii) to modify, alter, amend, add or to rescind any of the provisions contained in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement if and to the extent necessary to comply with any rules or regulations promulgated, or any guidance provided with respect to Rule 15Ga-1 under the Exchange Act, by the SEC from time to time;


 


(ix) to modify the provisions of Sections 3.05 and 3.17 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (with respect to reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances and Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts) if (a) the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and, for so long as a Control Event has not occurred and is not continuing, the Directing Certificateholder, determine that the commercial mortgage backed securities industry standard for such provisions has changed, in order to conform to such industry standard, (b) each Rating Agency shall have been provided with a Rating Agency Communication with respect to such modification, and (c) if no Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Certificateholder consents to such modification;


 


(x) to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that if such modification materially increases the obligations of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the 17g-5 Information Provider, the Operating Advisor, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, then the consent of such party will be required;


 


(xi) in the event of a TIA Applicability Determination, to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as shall be necessary to (A) effect the qualification of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under the TIA or under any similar federal statute hereafter enacted and to add to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement such other provisions as may be expressly required by the TIA, and (B) modify such other provisions as are necessary to conform the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and be consistent with the modifications made pursuant to the preceding clause (A); provided that any amendment pursuant to this clause (xi) shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Depositor; and


 


(xii) any other amendment which does not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder (unless such Certificateholder consents).


 


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


 


The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than 51% of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the Class for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:


 


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


 


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


 



A-13-7










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


 


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


 


(v) amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and confirmation of the applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any securities related to a Companion Loan, if any (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.27 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.


 


Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Asset Representations Reviewer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Issuing Entity’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Issuing Entity or any Trust REMIC, or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code. Furthermore, no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes in any material respect to the rights of the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS] Certificates without the consent of such Class and no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes any provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the [LOAN SPECIFIC] Intercreditor Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Non-Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s).


 


The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon 60 days’ prior notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan) (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Issuing Entity’s portion of each REO Property (other than any portion related to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) remaining in the Issuing Entity, and thereby effect termination of the Issuing Entity and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, on or after the first Distribution Date on which  the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the Issuing Entity’s portion of any REO Loans remaining in the Issuing Entity is less than [_____].


 


Following the date on which the [APPLICABLE CLASSES] Certificates are retired (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS], Class [ARD] and Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder may, at its option exchange (subject to the Master Servicer’s consent) all of its Certificates (other than the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS], Class [ARD] and Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) and the Issuing Entity’s portion of each REO Property (other than any portion related to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) remaining in the Issuing Entity pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  If the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan is the sole remaining asset of the Issuing Entity, the Holders of the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS] Certificates may exchange their Certificates for the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and terminate the Issuing Entity pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 



A-13-8










 


The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Issuing Entity created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Issuing Entity due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.


 


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


 


THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES APPLIED IN NEW YORK.

[CLASS A-S] CERTIFICATE


 


evidencing a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, consisting primarily of a pool of commercial mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans” (and a separate trust subordinate companion loan interest in a commercial mortgage loan)), all payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan due after the Cut-off Date, all REO Properties and revenues received in respect thereof, the mortgagee’s rights under the insurance policies, any Assignment of Leases, and any guaranties or other collateral as security for the Mortgage Loans and such amounts as shall from time to time be held in the Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts, the Interest Reserve Account, the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and the REO Accounts, formed and sold by


 


BANC OF AMERICA MERRILL LYNCH COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE INC.


 


THIS CERTIFIES THAT CEDE & CO. is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the [Class A-S] Certificates issued by the Issuing Entity created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of [_____], 20[__] (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among BANC OF AMERICA MERRILL LYNCH COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE INC. (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Operating Advisor.  A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter.  To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the [Class A-S] Certificates.  The Certificates are designated as the [ISSUING ENTITY], Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, [SERIES] and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Issuing Entity.


 


This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator.  This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is bound.  In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.


 


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.  Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.


 


Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.


 


Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the [Class A-S] 



A-14-4










Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Certificate Balance of this Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution Date.  Principal and interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the Available Funds to be distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


Realized Losses and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.


 


This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee on behalf of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom.  Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments.  Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and administration of the Issuing Entity.


 


All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor.  The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.


 


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


 


As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.


 



A-14-5










Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the [Class A-S] Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC in minimum denominations of $[_____], and in integral multiples of $[_] in excess thereof, with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial Certificate Balance of such Class.


 


In addition, subject to the conditions set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, this Certificate, together with the [Class B] and [Class C] Certificates, may be exchanged, pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, for the Class [EC] Certificates.


 


No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Issuing Entity for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer.  The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.


 


The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Certificate Registrar and any of their agents may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agents shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.


 


The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties thereto, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or the Companion Holders:


 


(i) to correct any defect or ambiguity in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in order to address any manifest error in any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;


 


(ii) to cause the provisions in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to conform or be consistent with or in furtherance of the statements made in the Prospectus with respect to the Certificates, the Issuing Entity or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or to correct or supplement any of its provisions which may be inconsistent with any other provisions therein or to correct any error;


 


(iii) to change the timing and/or nature of deposits in the Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts or any REO Account; provided that (a) the Master Servicer Remittance Date shall in no event be later than the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date and (b) such change shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel at the expense of the party requesting such amendment or as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to such amendment;


 


(iv) to amend any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary or desirable to maintain the status of each REMIC (or any grantor trust portion of the Issuing Entity) for the purposes of federal income tax law (or comparable provisions of state income tax law);


 


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


 


(vi) to amend any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary or desirable to list the Certificates on a stock exchange, including, without limitation, the appointment of 


 



A-14-6










one or more sub-certificate administrators and the requirement that certain information be delivered to such sub-certificate administrators;


 


(vii) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under or with respect to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement not inconsistent with the provisions therein;


 


(viii) to modify, alter, amend, add or to rescind any of the provisions contained in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement if and to the extent necessary to comply with any rules or regulations promulgated, or any guidance provided with respect to Rule 15Ga-1 under the Exchange Act, by the SEC from time to time;


 


(ix) to modify the provisions of Sections 3.05 and 3.17 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (with respect to reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances and Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts) if (a) the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and, for so long as a Control Event has not occurred and is not continuing, the Directing Certificateholder, determine that the commercial mortgage backed securities industry standard for such provisions has changed, in order to conform to such industry standard, (b) each Rating Agency shall have been provided with a Rating Agency Communication with respect to such modification, and (c) if no Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Certificateholder consents to such modification;


 


(x) to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that if such modification materially increases the obligations of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the 17g-5 Information Provider, the Operating Advisor, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, then the consent of such party will be required;


 


(xi) in the event of a TIA Applicability Determination, to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as shall be necessary to (A) effect the qualification of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under the TIA or under any similar federal statute hereafter enacted and to add to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement such other provisions as may be expressly required by the TIA, and (B) modify such other provisions as are necessary to conform the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and be consistent with the modifications made pursuant to the preceding clause (A); provided that any amendment pursuant to this clause (xi) shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Depositor; and


 


(xii) any other amendment which does not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder (unless such Certificateholder consents).


 


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


 


The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than 51% of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the Class for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:


 


reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Mortgage Loans or the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan that are required to be distributed on a Certificate of any Class  without the consent of the Holder of the Certificate or which are required to be distributed to a Companion Holder without the consent of such Companion Holder; or


 



A-14-7










(i) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or remove the requirement to obtain consent of any Companion Holder or Holder of [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS] Certificates, in any such case without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding or such Companion Holders, as applicable; or


 


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


 


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


 


(iv) amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and confirmation of the applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any securities related to a Companion Loan, if any (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.27 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.


 


Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Asset Representations Reviewer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Issuing Entity’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Issuing Entity or any Trust REMIC, or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code. Furthermore, no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes in any material respect to the rights of the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS] Certificates without the consent of such Class and no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes any provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the [LOAN SPECIFIC] Intercreditor Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Non-Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s).


 


The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon 60 days’ prior notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan) (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Issuing Entity’s portion of each REO Property (other than any portion related to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) remaining in the Issuing Entity, and thereby effect termination of the Issuing Entity and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, on or after the first Distribution Date on which  the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the Issuing Entity’s portion of any REO Loans remaining in the Issuing Entity is less than [_____].


 


Following the date on which the [APPLICABLE CLASSES] Certificates are retired (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS], Class [ARD] and Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder may, at its option exchange (subject to the Master Servicer’s consent) all of its Certificates (other than the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS], Class [ARD] and Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) and the Issuing Entity’s portion of each REO Property (other than any portion related to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing 



A-14-8










Entity) remaining in the Issuing Entity pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  If the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan is the sole remaining asset of the Issuing Entity, the Holders of the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS] Certificates may exchange their Certificates for the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and terminate the Issuing Entity pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Issuing Entity created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Issuing Entity due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.


 


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


 


THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES APPLIED IN NEW YORK.

[CLASS B] CERTIFICATE


 


evidencing a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, consisting primarily of a pool of commercial mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans” (and a separate trust subordinate companion loan interest in a commercial mortgage loan)), all payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan due after the Cut-off Date, all REO Properties and revenues received in respect thereof, the mortgagee’s rights under the insurance policies, any Assignment of Leases, and any guaranties or other collateral as security for the Mortgage Loans and such amounts as shall from time to time be held in the Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts, the Interest Reserve Account, the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and the REO Accounts, formed and sold by


 


BANC OF AMERICA MERRILL LYNCH COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE INC.


 


THIS CERTIFIES THAT CEDE & CO. is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the [Class B] Certificates issued by the Issuing Entity created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of [_____], 20[__] (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among BANC OF AMERICA MERRILL LYNCH COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE INC. (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Operating Advisor.  A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter.  To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the [Class B] Certificates.  The Certificates are designated as the [ISSUING ENTITY], Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, [SERIES] and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Issuing Entity.


 


This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator.  This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is bound.  In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.


 


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.  Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.


 


Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.


 


Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the [Class B] 



A-15-4










Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Certificate Balance of this Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution Date.  Principal and interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the Available Funds to be distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


Realized Losses and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.


 


This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee on behalf of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom.  Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments.  Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and administration of the Issuing Entity.


 


All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor.  The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.


 


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


 


As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.


 



A-15-5










Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the [Class B] Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC in minimum denominations of $[_____], and in integral multiples of $[_] in excess thereof, with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial Certificate Balance of such Class.


 


In addition, subject to the conditions set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, this Certificate, together with the [Class A-S] and [Class C] Certificates, may be exchanged, pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, for the Class [EC] Certificates.


 


No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Issuing Entity for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer.  The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.


 


The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Certificate Registrar and any of their agents may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agents shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.


 


The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties thereto, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or the Companion Holders:


 


(i) to correct any defect or ambiguity in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in order to address any manifest error in any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;


 


(ii) to cause the provisions in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to conform or be consistent with or in furtherance of the statements made in the Prospectus with respect to the Certificates, the Issuing Entity or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or to correct or supplement any of its provisions which may be inconsistent with any other provisions therein or to correct any error;


 


(iii) to change the timing and/or nature of deposits in the Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts or any REO Account; provided that (a) the Master Servicer Remittance Date shall in no event be later than the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date and (b) such change shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel at the expense of the party requesting such amendment or as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to such amendment;


 


(iv) to amend any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary or desirable to maintain the status of each REMIC (or any grantor trust portion of the Issuing Entity) for the purposes of federal income tax law (or comparable provisions of state income tax law);


 


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


 


(vi) to amend any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary or desirable to list the Certificates on a stock exchange, including, without limitation, the appointment of 



A-15-6










one or more sub-certificate administrators and the requirement that certain information be delivered to such sub-certificate administrators;


 


(vii) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under or with respect to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement not inconsistent with the provisions therein;


 


(viii) to modify, alter, amend, add or to rescind any of the provisions contained in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement if and to the extent necessary to comply with any rules or regulations promulgated, or any guidance provided with respect to Rule 15Ga-1 under the Exchange Act, by the SEC from time to time;


 


(ix) to modify the provisions of Sections 3.05 and 3.17 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (with respect to reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances and Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts) if (a) the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and, for so long as a Control Event has not occurred and is not continuing, the Directing Certificateholder, determine that the commercial mortgage backed securities industry standard for such provisions has changed, in order to conform to such industry standard, (b) each Rating Agency shall have been provided with a Rating Agency Communication with respect to such modification, and (c) if no Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Certificateholder consents to such modification;


 


(x) to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that if such modification materially increases the obligations of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the 17g-5 Information Provider, the Operating Advisor, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, then the consent of such party will be required;


 


(xi) in the event of a TIA Applicability Determination, to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as shall be necessary to (A) effect the qualification of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under the TIA or under any similar federal statute hereafter enacted and to add to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement such other provisions as may be expressly required by the TIA, and (B) modify such other provisions as are necessary to conform the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and be consistent with the modifications made pursuant to the preceding clause (A); provided that any amendment pursuant to this clause (xi) shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Depositor; and


 


(xii) any other amendment which does not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder (unless such Certificateholder consents).


 


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


 


            The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than 51% of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the Class for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:


 


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


 



A-15-7










 


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


 


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


 


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


 


(v) amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and confirmation of the applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any securities related to a Companion Loan, if any (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.27 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.


 


Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Asset Representations Reviewer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Issuing Entity’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Issuing Entity or any Trust REMIC, or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code. Furthermore, no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes in any material respect to the rights of the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS] Certificates without the consent of such Class and no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes any provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the [LOAN SPECIFIC] Intercreditor Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Non-Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s).


 


The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon 60 days’ prior notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan) (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Issuing Entity’s portion of each REO Property (other than any portion related to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) remaining in the Issuing Entity, and thereby effect termination of the Issuing Entity and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, on or after the first Distribution Date on which  the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the Issuing Entity’s portion of any REO Loans remaining in the Issuing Entity is less than [_____].


 


Following the date on which the [APPLICABLE CLASSES] Certificates are retired (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS], Class [ARD] and Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder may, at its option exchange (subject to the Master Servicer’s consent) all of its Certificates (other than the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS], Class [ARD] and Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) and the Issuing Entity’s portion of each REO Property (other than any portion related to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing 



A-15-8










Entity) remaining in the Issuing Entity pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  If the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan is the sole remaining asset of the Issuing Entity, the Holders of the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS] Certificates may exchange their Certificates for the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and terminate the Issuing Entity pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Issuing Entity created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Issuing Entity due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.


 


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


 


THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES APPLIED IN NEW YORK.

[CLASS C] CERTIFICATE


 


evidencing a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, consisting primarily of a pool of commercial mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans” (and a separate trust subordinate companion loan interest in a commercial mortgage loan)), all payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan due after the Cut-off Date, all REO Properties and revenues received in respect thereof, the mortgagee’s rights under the insurance policies, any Assignment of Leases, and any guaranties or other collateral as security for the Mortgage Loans and such amounts as shall from time to time be held in the Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts, the Interest Reserve Account, the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and the REO Accounts, formed and sold by


 


BANC OF AMERICA MERRILL LYNCH COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE INC.


 


THIS CERTIFIES THAT CEDE & CO. is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the [Class C] Certificates issued by the Issuing Entity created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of [_____], 20[__] (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among BANC OF AMERICA MERRILL LYNCH COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE INC. (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Operating Advisor.  A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter.  To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the [Class C] Certificates.  The Certificates are designated as the [ISSUING ENTITY], Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, [SERIES] and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Issuing Entity.


 


This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator.  This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is bound.  In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.


 


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.  Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.


 


Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.


 


Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the [Class C] 



A-16-4










Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Certificate Balance of this Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution Date.  Principal and interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the Available Funds to be distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


Realized Losses and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.


 


This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee on behalf of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom.  Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments.  Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and administration of the Issuing Entity.


 


All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor.  The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.


 


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


 


As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.


 



A-16-5










Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the [Class C] Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC in minimum denominations of $[_____], and in integral multiples of $[_] in excess thereof, with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial Certificate Balance of such Class.


 


In addition, subject to the conditions set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, this Certificate, together with the [Class A-S] and [Class B] Certificates, may be exchanged, pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, for the Class [EC] Certificates.


 


No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Issuing Entity for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer.  The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.


 


The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Certificate Registrar and any of their agents may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agents shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.


 


                    The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties thereto, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or the Companion Holders:


 


(i) to correct any defect or ambiguity in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in order to address any manifest error in any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;


 


(ii) to cause the provisions in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to conform or be consistent with or in furtherance of the statements made in the Prospectus with respect to the Certificates, the Issuing Entity or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or to correct or supplement any of its provisions which may be inconsistent with any other provisions therein or to correct any error;


 


(iii) to change the timing and/or nature of deposits in the Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts or any REO Account; provided that (a) the Master Servicer Remittance Date shall in no event be later than the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date and (b) such change shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel at the expense of the party requesting such amendment or as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to such amendment;


 


(iv) to amend any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary or desirable to maintain the status of each REMIC (or any grantor trust portion of the Issuing Entity) for the purposes of federal income tax law (or comparable provisions of state income tax law);


 


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


 


(vi) to amend any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary or desirable to list the Certificates on a stock exchange, including, without limitation, the appointment of 



A-16-6










one or more sub-certificate administrators and the requirement that certain information be delivered to such sub-certificate administrators;


 


(vii) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under or with respect to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement not inconsistent with the provisions therein;


 


(viii) to modify, alter, amend, add or to rescind any of the provisions contained in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement if and to the extent necessary to comply with any rules or regulations promulgated, or any guidance provided with respect to Rule 15Ga-1 under the Exchange Act, by the SEC from time to time;


 


(ix) to modify the provisions of Sections 3.05 and 3.17 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (with respect to reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances and Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts) if (a) the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and, for so long as a Control Event has not occurred and is not continuing, the Directing Certificateholder, determine that the commercial mortgage backed securities industry standard for such provisions has changed, in order to conform to such industry standard, (b) each Rating Agency shall have been provided with a Rating Agency Communication with respect to such modification, and (c) if no Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Certificateholder consents to such modification;


 


(x) to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that if such modification materially increases the obligations of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the 17g-5 Information Provider, the Operating Advisor, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, then the consent of such party will be required;


 


(xi) in the event of a TIA Applicability Determination, to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as shall be necessary to (A) effect the qualification of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under the TIA or under any similar federal statute hereafter enacted and to add to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement such other provisions as may be expressly required by the TIA, and (B) modify such other provisions as are necessary to conform the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and be consistent with the modifications made pursuant to the preceding clause (A); provided that any amendment pursuant to this clause (xi) shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Depositor; and


 


(xii) any other amendment which does not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder (unless such Certificateholder consents).


 


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


 


            The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than 51% of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the Class for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:


 


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


 



A-16-7










 


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


 


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


 


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


 


(v) amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and confirmation of the applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any securities related to a Companion Loan, if any (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.27 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.


 


Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Asset Representations Reviewer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Issuing Entity’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Issuing Entity or any Trust REMIC, or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code. Furthermore, no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes in any material respect to the rights of the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS] Certificates without the consent of such Class and no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes any provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the [LOAN SPECIFIC] Intercreditor Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Non-Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s).


 


The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon 60 days’ prior notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan) (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Issuing Entity’s portion of each REO Property (other than any portion related to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) remaining in the Issuing Entity, and thereby effect termination of the Issuing Entity and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, on or after the first Distribution Date on which  the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the Issuing Entity’s portion of any REO Loans remaining in the Issuing Entity is less than [_____].


 


Following the date on which the [APPLICABLE CLASSES] Certificates are retired (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS], Class [ARD] and Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder may, at its option exchange (subject to the Master Servicer’s consent) all of its Certificates (other than the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS], Class [ARD] and Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) and the Issuing Entity’s portion of each REO Property (other than any portion related to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing 



A-16-8










Entity) remaining in the Issuing Entity pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  If the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan is the sole remaining asset of the Issuing Entity, the Holders of the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS] Certificates may exchange their Certificates for the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and terminate the Issuing Entity pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Issuing Entity created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Issuing Entity due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.


 


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


 


THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES APPLIED IN NEW YORK.

[CLASS D] CERTIFICATE


 


evidencing a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, consisting primarily of a pool of commercial mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans” (and a separate trust subordinate companion loan interest in a commercial mortgage loan)), all payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan due after the Cut-off Date, all REO Properties and revenues received in respect thereof, the mortgagee’s rights under the insurance policies, any Assignment of Leases, and any guaranties or other collateral as security for the Mortgage Loans and such amounts as shall from time to time be held in the Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts, the Interest Reserve Account, the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and the REO Accounts, formed and sold by


 


BANC OF AMERICA MERRILL LYNCH COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE INC.


 


THIS CERTIFIES THAT CEDE & CO. is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the [Class D] Certificates issued by the Issuing Entity created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of [_____], 20[__] (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among BANC OF AMERICA MERRILL LYNCH COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE INC. (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Operating Advisor.  A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter.  To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the [Class D] Certificates.  The Certificates are designated as the [ISSUING ENTITY], Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, [SERIES] and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Issuing Entity.


 


This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator.  This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is bound.  In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.


 


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.  Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.


 


Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.


 


Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the [Class D] 



A-17-4










Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Certificate Balance of this Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution Date.  Principal and interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the Available Funds to be distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


Realized Losses and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.


 


This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee on behalf of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom.  Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments.  Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and administration of the Issuing Entity.


 


All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor.  The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.


 


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


 


As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.


 



A-17-5










Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the [Class D] Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC in minimum denominations of $[_____], and in integral multiples of $[_] in excess thereof, with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial Certificate Balance of such Class.


 


No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Issuing Entity for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer.  The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.


 


The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Certificate Registrar and any of their agents may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agents shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.


 


The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties thereto, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or the Companion Holders:


 


(i) to correct any defect or ambiguity in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in order to address any manifest error in any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;


 


(ii) to cause the provisions in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to conform or be consistent with or in furtherance of the statements made in the Prospectus with respect to the Certificates, the Issuing Entity or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or to correct or supplement any of its provisions which may be inconsistent with any other provisions therein or to correct any error;


 


(iii) to change the timing and/or nature of deposits in the Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts or any REO Account; provided that (a) the Master Servicer Remittance Date shall in no event be later than the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date and (b) such change shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel at the expense of the party requesting such amendment or as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to such amendment;


 


(iv) to amend any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary or desirable to maintain the status of each REMIC (or any grantor trust portion of the Issuing Entity) for the purposes of federal income tax law (or comparable provisions of state income tax law);


 


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


 


(vi) to amend any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary or desirable to list the Certificates on a stock exchange, including, without limitation, the appointment of one or more sub-certificate administrators and the requirement that certain information be delivered to such sub-certificate administrators;


 


(vii) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under or with respect to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement not inconsistent with the provisions therein;


 



A-17-6










 


(viii) to modify, alter, amend, add or to rescind any of the provisions contained in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement if and to the extent necessary to comply with any rules or regulations promulgated, or any guidance provided with respect to Rule 15Ga-1 under the Exchange Act, by the SEC from time to time;


 


(ix) to modify the provisions of Sections 3.05 and 3.17 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (with respect to reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances and Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts) if (a) the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and, for so long as a Control Event has not occurred and is not continuing, the Directing Certificateholder, determine that the commercial mortgage backed securities industry standard for such provisions has changed, in order to conform to such industry standard, (b) each Rating Agency shall have been provided with a Rating Agency Communication with respect to such modification, and (c) if no Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Certificateholder consents to such modification;


 


(x) to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that if such modification materially increases the obligations of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the 17g-5 Information Provider, the Operating Advisor, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, then the consent of such party will be required;


 


(xi) in the event of a TIA Applicability Determination, to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as shall be necessary to (A) effect the qualification of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under the TIA or under any similar federal statute hereafter enacted and to add to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement such other provisions as may be expressly required by the TIA, and (B) modify such other provisions as are necessary to conform the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and be consistent with the modifications made pursuant to the preceding clause (A); provided that any amendment pursuant to this clause (xi) shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Depositor; and


 


(xii) any other amendment which does not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder (unless such Certificateholder consents).


 


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


 


The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than 51% of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the Class for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:


 


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


 


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


 



A-17-7










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


 


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


 


(v) amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and confirmation of the applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any securities related to a Companion Loan, if any (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.27 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.


 


Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Asset Representations Reviewer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Issuing Entity’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Issuing Entity or any Trust REMIC, or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code. Furthermore, no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes in any material respect to the rights of the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS] Certificates without the consent of such Class and no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes any provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the [LOAN SPECIFIC] Intercreditor Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Non-Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s).


 


The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon 60 days’ prior notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan) (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Issuing Entity’s portion of each REO Property (other than any portion related to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) remaining in the Issuing Entity, and thereby effect termination of the Issuing Entity and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, on or after the first Distribution Date on which  the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the Issuing Entity’s portion of any REO Loans remaining in the Issuing Entity is less than [_____].


 


Following the date on which the [APPLICABLE CLASSES] Certificates are retired (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS], Class [ARD] and Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder may, at its option exchange (subject to the Master Servicer’s consent) all of its Certificates (other than the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS], Class [ARD] and Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) and the Issuing Entity’s portion of each REO Property (other than any portion related to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) remaining in the Issuing Entity pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  If the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan is the sole remaining asset of the Issuing Entity, the Holders of the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS] Certificates may exchange their Certificates for the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and terminate the Issuing Entity pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 



A-17-8










The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Issuing Entity created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Issuing Entity due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.


 


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


 


THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES APPLIED IN NEW YORK.

[CLASS E] CERTIFICATE


 


evidencing a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, consisting primarily of a pool of commercial mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans” (and a separate trust subordinate companion loan interest in a commercial mortgage loan)), all payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan due after the Cut-off Date, all REO Properties and revenues received in respect thereof, the mortgagee’s rights under the insurance policies, any Assignment of Leases, and any guaranties or other collateral as security for the Mortgage Loans and such amounts as shall from time to time be held in the Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts, the Interest Reserve Account, the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and the REO Accounts, formed and sold by


 


BANC OF AMERICA MERRILL LYNCH COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE INC.


 


THIS CERTIFIES THAT CEDE & CO. is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the [Class E] Certificates issued by the Issuing Entity created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of [_____], 20[__] (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among BANC OF AMERICA MERRILL LYNCH COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE INC. (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Operating Advisor.  A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter.  To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the [Class E] Certificates.  The Certificates are designated as the [ISSUING ENTITY], Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, [SERIES] and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Issuing Entity.


 


This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator.  This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is bound.  In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.


 


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.  Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.


 


Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.


 


Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the [Class E] Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Certificate Balance of this Certificate immediately prior to each 



A-18-5










Distribution Date.  Principal and interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the Available Funds to be distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


Realized Losses and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.


 


This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee on behalf of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom.  Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments.  Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and administration of the Issuing Entity.


 


All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor.  The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.


 


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


 


As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.


 



A-18-6










Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the [Class E] Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC in minimum denominations of $[_____], and in integral multiples of $[_] in excess thereof, with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial Certificate Balance of such Class.


 


No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Issuing Entity for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer.  The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.


 


The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Certificate Registrar and any of their agents may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agents shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.


 


The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties thereto, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or the Companion Holders:


 


(i) to correct any defect or ambiguity in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in order to address any manifest error in any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;


 


(ii) to cause the provisions in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to conform or be consistent with or in furtherance of the statements made in the Prospectus with respect to the Certificates, the Issuing Entity or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or to correct or supplement any of its provisions which may be inconsistent with any other provisions therein or to correct any error;


 


(iii) to change the timing and/or nature of deposits in the Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts or any REO Account; provided that (a) the Master Servicer Remittance Date shall in no event be later than the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date and (b) such change shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel at the expense of the party requesting such amendment or as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to such amendment;


 


(iv) to amend any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary or desirable to maintain the status of each REMIC (or any grantor trust portion of the Issuing Entity) for the purposes of federal income tax law (or comparable provisions of state income tax law);


 


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


 


(vi) to amend any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary or desirable to list the Certificates on a stock exchange, including, without limitation, the appointment of one or more sub-certificate administrators and the requirement that certain information be delivered to such sub-certificate administrators;


 


(vii) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under or with respect to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement not inconsistent with the provisions therein;


 



A-18-7










(viii) to modify, alter, amend, add or to rescind any of the provisions contained in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement if and to the extent necessary to comply with any rules or regulations promulgated, or any guidance provided with respect to Rule 15Ga-1 under the Exchange Act, by the SEC from time to time;


 


(ix) to modify the provisions of Sections 3.05 and 3.17 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (with respect to reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances and Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts) if (a) the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and, for so long as a Control Event has not occurred and is not continuing, the Directing Certificateholder, determine that the commercial mortgage backed securities industry standard for such provisions has changed, in order to conform to such industry standard, (b) each Rating Agency shall have been provided with a Rating Agency Communication with respect to such modification, and (c) if no Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Certificateholder consents to such modification;


 


(x) to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that if such modification materially increases the obligations of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the 17g-5 Information Provider, the Operating Advisor, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, then the consent of such party will be required;


 


(xi) in the event of a TIA Applicability Determination, to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as shall be necessary to (A) effect the qualification of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under the TIA or under any similar federal statute hereafter enacted and to add to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement such other provisions as may be expressly required by the TIA, and (B) modify such other provisions as are necessary to conform the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and be consistent with the modifications made pursuant to the preceding clause (A); provided that any amendment pursuant to this clause (xi) shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Depositor; and


 


(xii) any other amendment which does not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder (unless such Certificateholder consents).


 


Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment (A) may change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary thereunder, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller or (B) materially and adversely affects the holders of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent.The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than 51% of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the Class for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:


 


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


 


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


 



A-18-8










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


 


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


 


(v) amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and confirmation of the applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any securities related to a Companion Loan, if any (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.27 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.


 


Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Asset Representations Reviewer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Issuing Entity’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Issuing Entity or any Trust REMIC, or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code. Furthermore, no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes in any material respect to the rights of the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS] Certificates without the consent of such Class and no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes any provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the [LOAN SPECIFIC] Intercreditor Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Non-Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s).


 


The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon 60 days’ prior notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan) (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Issuing Entity’s portion of each REO Property (other than any portion related to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) remaining in the Issuing Entity, and thereby effect termination of the Issuing Entity and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, on or after the first Distribution Date on which  the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the Issuing Entity’s portion of any REO Loans remaining in the Issuing Entity is less than [_____].


 


Following the date on which the [APPLICABLE CLASSES] Certificates are retired (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS], Class [ARD] and Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder may, at its option exchange (subject to the Master Servicer’s consent) all of its Certificates (other than the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS], Class [ARD] and Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) and the Issuing Entity’s portion of each REO Property (other than any portion related to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) remaining in the Issuing Entity pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  If the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan is the sole remaining asset of the Issuing Entity, the Holders of the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS] Certificates may exchange their Certificates for the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and terminate the Issuing Entity pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 



A-18-9










The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Issuing Entity created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Issuing Entity due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.


 


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


 


THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES APPLIED IN NEW YORK.

[CLASS F] CERTIFICATE


 


evidencing a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, consisting primarily of a pool of commercial mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans” (and a separate trust subordinate companion loan interest in a commercial mortgage loan)), all payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan due after the Cut-off Date, all REO Properties and revenues received in respect thereof, the mortgagee’s rights under the insurance policies, any Assignment of Leases, and any guaranties or other collateral as security for the Mortgage Loans and such amounts as shall from time to time be held in the Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts, the Interest Reserve Account, the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and the REO Accounts, formed and sold by


 


BANC OF AMERICA MERRILL LYNCH COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE INC.


 


THIS CERTIFIES THAT CEDE & CO. is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the [Class F] Certificates issued by the Issuing Entity created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of [_____], 20[__] (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among BANC OF AMERICA MERRILL LYNCH COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE INC. (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Operating Advisor.  A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter.  To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the [Class F] Certificates.  The Certificates are designated as the [ISSUING ENTITY], Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, [SERIES] and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Issuing Entity.


 


This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator.  This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is bound.  In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.


 


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.  Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.


 


Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.


 


Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the [Class F] Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Certificate Balance of this Certificate immediately prior to each 



A-19-5










Distribution Date.  Principal and interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the Available Funds to be distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


Realized Losses and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.


 


This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee on behalf of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom.  Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments.  Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and administration of the Issuing Entity.


 


All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor.  The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.


 


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


 


As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.


 



A-19-6










Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the [Class F] Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC in minimum denominations of $[_____], and in integral multiples of $[_] in excess thereof, with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial Certificate Balance of such Class.


 


No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Issuing Entity for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer.  The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.


 


The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Certificate Registrar and any of their agents may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agents shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.


 


The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties thereto, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or the Companion Holders:


 


(i) to correct any defect or ambiguity in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in order to address any manifest error in any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;


 


(ii) to cause the provisions in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to conform or be consistent with or in furtherance of the statements made in the Prospectus with respect to the Certificates, the Issuing Entity or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or to correct or supplement any of its provisions which may be inconsistent with any other provisions therein or to correct any error;


 


(iii) to change the timing and/or nature of deposits in the Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts or any REO Account; provided that (a) the Master Servicer Remittance Date shall in no event be later than the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date and (b) such change shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel at the expense of the party requesting such amendment or as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to such amendment;


 


(iv) to amend any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary or desirable to maintain the status of each REMIC (or any grantor trust portion of the Issuing Entity) for the purposes of federal income tax law (or comparable provisions of state income tax law);


 


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


 


(vi) to amend any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary or desirable to list the Certificates on a stock exchange, including, without limitation, the appointment of one or more sub-certificate administrators and the requirement that certain information be delivered to such sub-certificate administrators;


 


(vii) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under or with respect to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement not inconsistent with the provisions therein;

(viii) to modify, alter, amend, add or to rescind any of the provisions contained in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement if and to the extent necessary to comply with any rules or regulations promulgated, or any guidance provided with respect to Rule 15Ga-1 under the Exchange Act, by the SEC from time to time;


 


(ix) to modify the provisions of Sections 3.05 and 3.17 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (with respect to reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances and Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts) if (a) the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and, for so long as a Control Event has not occurred and is not continuing, the Directing Certificateholder, determine that the commercial mortgage backed securities industry standard for such provisions has changed, in order to conform to such industry standard, (b) each Rating Agency shall have been provided with a Rating Agency Communication with respect to such modification, and (c) if no Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Certificateholder consents to such modification;


 


(x) to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that if such modification materially increases the obligations of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the 17g-5 Information Provider, the Operating Advisor, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, then the consent of such party will be required;


 


(xi) in the event of a TIA Applicability Determination, to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as shall be necessary to (A) effect the qualification of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under the TIA or under any similar federal statute hereafter enacted and to add to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement such other provisions as may be expressly required by the TIA, and (B) modify such other provisions as are necessary to conform the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and be consistent with the modifications made pursuant to the preceding clause (A); provided that any amendment pursuant to this clause (xi) shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Depositor; and


 


(xii) any other amendment which does not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder (unless such Certificateholder consents).


 


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


 


 The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than 51% of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the Class for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:


 


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


 


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


 



A-19-8










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


 


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


 


(v) amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and confirmation of the applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any securities related to a Companion Loan, if any (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.27 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.


 


Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Asset Representations Reviewer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Issuing Entity’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Issuing Entity or any Trust REMIC, or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code. Furthermore, no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes in any material respect to the rights of the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS] Certificates without the consent of such Class and no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes any provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the [LOAN SPECIFIC] Intercreditor Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Non-Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s).


 


The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon 60 days’ prior notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan) (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Issuing Entity’s portion of each REO Property (other than any portion related to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) remaining in the Issuing Entity, and thereby effect termination of the Issuing Entity and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, on or after the first Distribution Date on which  the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the Issuing Entity’s portion of any REO Loans remaining in the Issuing Entity is less than [_____].


 


Following the date on which the [APPLICABLE CLASSES] Certificates are retired (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS], Class [ARD] and Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder may, at its option exchange (subject to the Master Servicer’s consent) all of its Certificates (other than the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS], Class [ARD] and Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) and the Issuing Entity’s portion of each REO Property (other than any portion related to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) remaining in the Issuing Entity pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  If the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan is the sole remaining asset of the Issuing Entity, the Holders of the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS] Certificates may exchange their Certificates for the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and terminate the Issuing Entity pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 



A-19-9










The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Issuing Entity created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Issuing Entity due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.


 


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


 


THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES APPLIED IN NEW YORK.

CLASS [EC] CERTIFICATE


 


evidencing a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, consisting primarily of a pool of commercial mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans” (and a separate trust subordinate companion loan interest in a commercial mortgage loan)), all payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan due after the Cut-off Date, all REO Properties and revenues received in respect thereof, the mortgagee’s rights under the insurance policies, any Assignment of Leases, and any guaranties or other collateral as security for the Mortgage Loans and such amounts as shall from time to time be held in the Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts, the Interest Reserve Account, the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and the REO Accounts, formed and sold by


 


BANC OF AMERICA MERRILL LYNCH COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE INC.


 


THIS CERTIFIES THAT CEDE & CO. is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the Class [EC] Certificates issued by the Issuing Entity created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of [_____], 20[__] (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among BANC OF AMERICA MERRILL LYNCH COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE INC. (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Operating Advisor.  A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter.  To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the Class [EC] Certificates.  The Certificates are designated as the [ISSUING ENTITY], Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, [SERIES] and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Issuing Entity.


 


This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator.  This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is bound.  In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.


 


This Certificate represents a beneficial interest in certain “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.  Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.


 


The initial Certificate Balance of the Class [EC] Certificates is equal to the aggregate of the initial Certificate Balances of the Exchangeable Certificates and represents the maximum principal balance of the Exchangeable Certificates that could be issued in an exchange. The Class [EC] Certificates will only receive distributions of principal and interest that are otherwise distributable to the Exchangeable Certificates exchanged for such Class [EC] Certificates.


 


Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Exchangeable Certificates 



A-20-4










exchanged for the Class [EC] Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.


 


The Class [EC] Certificates will only receive distributions of interest that are otherwise distributable to the Exchangeable Certificates exchanged for such Class [EC] Certificates. Interest on the Exchangeable Certificates exchanged for the Class [EC] Certificates will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the related Pass-Through Rate specified on the Certificate Balance of each such Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution Date.  Principal and interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the Available Funds to be distributed on the Exchangeable Certificates exchanged for this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


Realized Losses and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.


 


This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee on behalf of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom.  Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments.  Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and administration of the Issuing Entity.


 


All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor.  The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.


 


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



A-20-5










any amount held in trust as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.


 


In addition, subject to the conditions set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, this Certificate may be exchanged for the Exchangeable Certificates pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Class [EC] Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC in minimum denominations of $[_____], and in integral multiples of $[_] in excess thereof, with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial Certificate Balance of such Class.


 


No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Issuing Entity for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer.  The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.


 


The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Certificate Registrar and any of their agents may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agents shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.


 


The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties thereto, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or the Companion Holders:


 


(i) to correct any defect or ambiguity in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in order to address any manifest error in any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;


 


(ii) to cause the provisions in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to conform or be consistent with or in furtherance of the statements made in the Prospectus with respect to the Certificates, the Issuing Entity or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or to correct or supplement any of its provisions which may be inconsistent with any other provisions therein or to correct any error;


 


(iii) to change the timing and/or nature of deposits in the Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts or any REO Account; provided that (a) the Master Servicer Remittance Date shall in no event be later than the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date and (b) such change shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel at the expense of the party requesting such amendment or as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to such amendment;


 


(iv) to amend any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary or desirable to maintain the status of each REMIC (or any grantor trust portion of the Issuing Entity) for the purposes of federal income tax law (or comparable provisions of state income tax law);


 



A-20-6










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


 


(vi) to amend any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary or desirable to list the Certificates on a stock exchange, including, without limitation, the appointment of one or more sub-certificate administrators and the requirement that certain information be delivered to such sub-certificate administrators;


 


(vii) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under or with respect to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement not inconsistent with the provisions therein;


 


(viii) to modify, alter, amend, add or to rescind any of the provisions contained in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement if and to the extent necessary to comply with any rules or regulations promulgated, or any guidance provided with respect to Rule 15Ga-1 under the Exchange Act, by the SEC from time to time;


 


(ix) to modify the provisions of Sections 3.05 and 3.17 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (with respect to reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances and Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts) if (a) the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and, for so long as a Control Event has not occurred and is not continuing, the Directing Certificateholder, determine that the commercial mortgage backed securities industry standard for such provisions has changed, in order to conform to such industry standard, (b) each Rating Agency shall have been provided with a Rating Agency Communication with respect to such modification, and (c) if no Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Certificateholder consents to such modification;


 


(x) to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that if such modification materially increases the obligations of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the 17g-5 Information Provider, the Operating Advisor, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, then the consent of such party will be required;


 


(xi) in the event of a TIA Applicability Determination, to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as shall be necessary to (A) effect the qualification of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under the TIA or under any similar federal statute hereafter enacted and to add to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement such other provisions as may be expressly required by the TIA, and (B) modify such other provisions as are necessary to conform the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and be consistent with the modifications made pursuant to the preceding clause (A); provided that any amendment pursuant to this clause (xi) shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Depositor; and


 


(xii) any other amendment which does not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder (unless such Certificateholder consents).


 


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


 


The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the 



A-20-7










aggregate not less than 51% of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the Class for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


(v) amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and confirmation of the applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any securities related to a Companion Loan, if any (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.27 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.


 


Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Asset Representations Reviewer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Issuing Entity’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Issuing Entity or any Trust REMIC, or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code. Furthermore, no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes in any material respect to the rights of the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS] Certificates without the consent of such Class and no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes any provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the [LOAN SPECIFIC] Intercreditor Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Non-Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s).


 


The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon 60 days’ prior notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan) (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Issuing Entity’s portion of each REO Property (other than any portion related to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) remaining in the Issuing Entity, and thereby effect termination of the Issuing Entity and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, 



A-20-8










on or after the first Distribution Date on which  the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the Issuing Entity’s portion of any REO Loans remaining in the Issuing Entity is less than [_____].


 


Following the date on which the [APPLICABLE CLASSES] Certificates are retired (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS], Class [ARD] and Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder may, at its option exchange (subject to the Master Servicer’s consent) all of its Certificates (other than the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS], Class [ARD] and Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) and the Issuing Entity’s portion of each REO Property (other than any portion related to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) remaining in the Issuing Entity pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  If the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan is the sole remaining asset of the Issuing Entity, the Holders of the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS] Certificates may exchange their Certificates for the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and terminate the Issuing Entity pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Issuing Entity created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Issuing Entity due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.


 


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


 


THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES APPLIED IN NEW YORK.

[CLASS NR] CERTIFICATE


 


evidencing a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, consisting primarily of a pool of commercial mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans” (and a separate trust subordinate companion loan interest in a commercial mortgage loan)), all payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan due after the Cut-off Date, all REO Properties and revenues received in respect thereof, the mortgagee’s rights under the insurance policies, any Assignment of Leases, and any guaranties or other collateral as security for the Mortgage Loans and such amounts as shall from time to time be held in the Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts, the Interest Reserve Account, the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and the REO Accounts, formed and sold by


 


BANC OF AMERICA MERRILL LYNCH COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE INC.


 


THIS CERTIFIES THAT CEDE & CO. is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the [Class NR] Certificates issued by the Issuing Entity created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of [_____], 20[__] (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among BANC OF AMERICA MERRILL LYNCH COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE INC. (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Operating Advisor.  A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter.  To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the [Class NR] Certificates.  The Certificates are designated as the [ISSUING ENTITY], Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, [SERIES] and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Issuing Entity.


 


This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator.  This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is bound.  In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.


 


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.  Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.


 


Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.


 


Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the [Class NR] Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Certificate Balance of this Certificate immediately prior to each 



A-21-5










Distribution Date.  Principal and interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the Available Funds to be distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


Realized Losses and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.


 


This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee on behalf of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom.  Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments.  Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and administration of the Issuing Entity.


 


All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor.  The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.


 


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


 


As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.


 



A-21-6










Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the [Class NR] Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC in minimum denominations of $[_____], and in integral multiples of $[_] in excess thereof, with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial Certificate Balance of such Class.


 


No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Issuing Entity for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer.  The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.


 


The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Certificate Registrar and any of their agents may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agents shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.


 


The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties thereto, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or the Companion Holders:


 


(i) to correct any defect or ambiguity in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in order to address any manifest error in any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;

(vi) to amend any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary or desirable to list the Certificates on a stock exchange, including, without limitation, the appointment of one or more sub-certificate administrators and the requirement that certain information be delivered to such sub-certificate administrators;

A-21-7










(viii) to modify, alter, amend, add or to rescind any of the provisions contained in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement if and to the extent necessary to comply with any rules or regulations promulgated, or any guidance provided with respect to Rule 15Ga-1 under the Exchange Act, by the SEC from time to time;


 


(ix) to modify the provisions of Sections 3.05 and 3.17 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (with respect to reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances and Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts) if (a) the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and, for so long as a Control Event has not occurred and is not continuing, the Directing Certificateholder, determine that the commercial mortgage backed securities industry standard for such provisions has changed, in order to conform to such industry standard, (b) each Rating Agency shall have been provided with a Rating Agency Communication with respect to such modification, and (c) if no Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Certificateholder consents to such modification;


 


(x) to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that if such modification materially increases the obligations of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the 17g-5 Information Provider, the Operating Advisor, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, then the consent of such party will be required;


 


(xi) in the event of a TIA Applicability Determination, to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as shall be necessary to (A) effect the qualification of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under the TIA or under any similar federal statute hereafter enacted and to add to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement such other provisions as may be expressly required by the TIA, and (B) modify such other provisions as are necessary to conform the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and be consistent with the modifications made pursuant to the preceding clause (A); provided that any amendment pursuant to this clause (xi) shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Depositor; and


 


(xii) any other amendment which does not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder (unless such Certificateholder consents).


 


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


 


The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than 51% of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the Class for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:


 


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


 


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


 



A-21-8










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


 


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


 


(v) amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and confirmation of the applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any securities related to a Companion Loan, if any (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.27 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.


 


Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Asset Representations Reviewer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Issuing Entity’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Issuing Entity or any Trust REMIC, or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code. Furthermore, no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes in any material respect to the rights of the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS] Certificates without the consent of such Class and no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes any provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the [LOAN SPECIFIC] Intercreditor Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Non-Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s).


 


The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon 60 days’ prior notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan) (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Issuing Entity’s portion of each REO Property (other than any portion related to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) remaining in the Issuing Entity, and thereby effect termination of the Issuing Entity and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, on or after the first Distribution Date on which  the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the Issuing Entity’s portion of any REO Loans remaining in the Issuing Entity is less than [_____].


 


Following the date on which the [APPLICABLE CLASSES] Certificates are retired (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS], Class [ARD] and Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder may, at its option exchange (subject to the Master Servicer’s consent) all of its Certificates (other than the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS], Class [ARD] and Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) and the Issuing Entity’s portion of each REO Property (other than any portion related to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) remaining in the Issuing Entity pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  If the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan is the sole remaining asset of the Issuing Entity, the Holders of the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS] Certificates may exchange their Certificates for the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and terminate the Issuing Entity pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 



A-21-9










The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Issuing Entity created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Issuing Entity due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.


 


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


 


THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES APPLIED IN NEW YORK.

evidencing a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, consisting primarily of a pool of commercial mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans” (and a separate trust subordinate companion loan interest in a commercial mortgage loan)), all payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan due after the Cut-off Date, all REO Properties and revenues received in respect thereof, the mortgagee’s rights under the insurance policies, any Assignment of Leases, and any guaranties or other collateral as security for the Mortgage Loans and such amounts as shall from time to time be held in the Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts, the Interest Reserve Account, the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and the REO Accounts, formed and sold by


 


BANC OF AMERICA MERRILL LYNCH COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE INC.


 


THIS CERTIFIES THAT [_________] is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the Class R Certificates issued by the Issuing Entity created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of [_____], 20[__] (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among BANC OF AMERICA MERRILL LYNCH COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE INC. (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Operating Advisor.  A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter.  To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the Class R Certificates.  The Certificates are designated as the [ISSUING ENTITY], Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, [SERIES] and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Issuing Entity.


 


This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator.  This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is bound.  In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.


 


This Class R Certificate represents a “residual interest” in three “real estate mortgage investment conduits”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.  The Holder of the largest Percentage Interest in the Class R Certificates shall be the “tax matters person” for each Trust REMIC pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.860F-4(d), and the Master Servicer is hereby irrevocably designated and shall serve as attorney-in-fact and agent for any such Person that is the “tax matters person”.


 


Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, distributions, if any, on this Certificate shall be made by the Certificate Administrator in an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) and to the extent and subject to the limitations set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, on the Distribution Date to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date.  All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.


 



A-22-4










This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee on behalf of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom.  Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments.  Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration of the Issuing Entity.


 


All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor.  The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.


 


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


 


As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.


 


Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and to have irrevocably authorized the Trustee under Section 5.03(n) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to deliver payments to a Person other than such Person.  The rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions:  (A) no Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate shall be a Disqualified Organization or agent thereof (including a nominee, middleman or similar person) (an “Agent”), a Plan or a Person acting on behalf of or investing the assets of a Plan (such Plan or Person, an “ERISA Prohibited Holder”) or a Non-U.S. Tax Person and shall promptly notify the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar of any change or impending change to

such status; (B) in connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall require delivery to it, and no Transfer of any Class R Certificate shall be registered until the Certificate Registrar receives, an affidavit substantially in the form attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as Exhibit D-1 (a “Transferee Affidavit”) from the proposed Transferee, in form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar, representing and warranting, among other things, that such Transferee is not a Disqualified Organization or Agent thereof, an ERISA Prohibited Holder or a Non-U.S. Tax Person, and that it has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.03(n) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and agrees to be bound by them; (C) notwithstanding the delivery of a Transferee Affidavit by a proposed Transferee under clause (B) above, if the Certificate Registrar has actual knowledge that the proposed Transferee is a Disqualified Organization or Agent thereof, an ERISA Prohibited Holder or a Non-U.S. Tax Person, no Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate to such proposed Transferee shall be effected; and (D) each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate shall agree (1) to require a Transferee Affidavit from any prospective Transferee to whom such Person attempts to transfer its Ownership Interest in such Class R Certificate and (2) not to transfer its Ownership Interest in such Class R Certificate unless it provides to the Certificate Registrar a letter substantially in the form attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as Exhibit D-2 (a “Transferor Letter”) certifying that, among other things, it has no actual knowledge or reason to know that the proposed Transferee’s statements in such Transferee Affidavit are false.


 


The Class R Certificates will be issued in fully registered, certificated form, in minimum percentage interests of [__]% and integral multiples of [_]% in excess thereof.


 


No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Issuing Entity for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer.  The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.


 


The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Certificate Registrar and any of their agents may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agents shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.


 


The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties thereto, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or the Companion Holders:


 


(i) to correct any defect or ambiguity in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in order to address any manifest error in any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;


 


(ii) to cause the provisions in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to conform or be consistent with or in furtherance of the statements made in the Prospectus with respect to the Certificates, the Issuing Entity or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or to correct or supplement any of its provisions which may be inconsistent with any other provisions therein or to correct any error;


 


(iii) to change the timing and/or nature of deposits in the Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts or any REO Account; provided that (a) the Master Servicer Remittance Date shall in no event be later than the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date and (b) such change shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel at the expense of the party requesting such amendment or as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to such amendment;


 



A-22-6










(iv) to amend any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary or desirable to maintain the status of each REMIC (or any grantor trust portion of the Issuing Entity) for the purposes of federal income tax law (or comparable provisions of state income tax law);


 


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


 


(vi) to amend any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary or desirable to list the Certificates on a stock exchange, including, without limitation, the appointment of one or more sub-certificate administrators and the requirement that certain information be delivered to such sub-certificate administrators;


 


(vii) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under or with respect to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement not inconsistent with the provisions therein;


 


(viii) to modify, alter, amend, add or to rescind any of the provisions contained in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement if and to the extent necessary to comply with any rules or regulations promulgated, or any guidance provided with respect to Rule 15Ga-1 under the Exchange Act, by the SEC from time to time;


 


(ix) to modify the provisions of Sections 3.05 and 3.17 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (with respect to reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances and Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts) if (a) the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and, for so long as a Control Event has not occurred and is not continuing, the Directing Certificateholder, determine that the commercial mortgage backed securities industry standard for such provisions has changed, in order to conform to such industry standard, (b) each Rating Agency shall have been provided with a Rating Agency Communication with respect to such modification, and (c) if no Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Certificateholder consents to such modification;


 


(x) to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that if such modification materially increases the obligations of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the 17g-5 Information Provider, the Operating Advisor, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, then the consent of such party will be required;


 


(xi) in the event of a TIA Applicability Determination, to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as shall be necessary to (A) effect the qualification of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under the TIA or under any similar federal statute hereafter enacted and to add to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement such other provisions as may be expressly required by the TIA, and (B) modify such other provisions as are necessary to conform the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and be consistent with the modifications made pursuant to the preceding clause (A); provided that any amendment pursuant to this clause (xi) shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Depositor; and


 


(xii) any other amendment which does not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder (unless such Certificateholder consents).


 


Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment (A) may change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party 



A-22-7










beneficiary thereunder, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller or (B) materially and adversely affects the holders of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent.


 


The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than 51% of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the Class for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


(v) amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and confirmation of the applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any securities related to a Companion Loan, if any (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.27 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.


 


Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Asset Representations Reviewer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Issuing Entity’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Issuing Entity or any Trust REMIC, or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code. Furthermore, no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes in any material respect to the rights of the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS] Certificates without the consent of such Class and no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes any provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the [LOAN SPECIFIC] Intercreditor Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Non-Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s).


 


The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon 60 days’ prior notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan)



A-22-8










(and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Issuing Entity’s portion of each REO Property (other than any portion related to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) remaining in the Issuing Entity, and thereby effect termination of the Issuing Entity and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, on or after the first Distribution Date on which  the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the Issuing Entity’s portion of any REO Loans remaining in the Issuing Entity is less than [_____].


 


Following the date on which the [APPLICABLE CLASSES] Certificates are retired (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS], Class [ARD] and Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder may, at its option exchange (subject to the Master Servicer’s consent) all of its Certificates (other than the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS], Class [ARD] and Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) and the Issuing Entity’s portion of each REO Property (other than any portion related to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) remaining in the Issuing Entity pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  If the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan is the sole remaining asset of the Issuing Entity, the Holders of the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS] Certificates may exchange their Certificates for the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and terminate the Issuing Entity pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Issuing Entity created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Issuing Entity due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.


 


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


 


THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES APPLIED IN NEW YORK.

CLASS [ARD] CERTIFICATE


 


evidencing a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, consisting primarily of a pool of commercial mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans” (and a separate trust subordinate companion loan interest in a commercial mortgage loan)), all payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan due after the Cut-off Date, all REO Properties and revenues received in respect thereof, the mortgagee’s rights under the insurance policies, any Assignment of Leases, and any guaranties or other collateral as security for the Mortgage Loans and such amounts as shall from time to time be held in the Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts, the Interest Reserve Account, the Gain-on-Sale Reserve, the Excess Interest Distribution Account and the REO Accounts, formed and sold by


 


BANC OF AMERICA MERRILL LYNCH COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE INC.


 


THIS CERTIFIES THAT [_______] is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the Class [ARD] Certificates issued by the Issuing Entity created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of [_____], 20[__] (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among BANC OF AMERICA MERRILL LYNCH COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE INC. (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Operating Advisor.  A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter.  To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the Class [ARD] Certificates.  The Certificates are designated as the [ISSUING ENTITY], Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, [SERIES] and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Issuing Entity.


 


This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator.  This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is bound.  In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.


 


This Certificate represents an undivided beneficial interest in a portion of a grantor trust that holds the Excess Interest and related amounts in the Excess Interest Distribution Account.  Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.


 


Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute 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 Excess Interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.


 



A-23-3










This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, Excess Interest actually collected on the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee on behalf of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom.  Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments.  Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and administration of the Issuing Entity.


 


All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor.  The final distribution on this Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.


 


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


 


As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.


 


The Class [ARD] Certificates will be issued in full, registered, certificated form, in minimum percentage interests of [__]% and integral multiples of [_]% in excess thereof.


 


No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Issuing Entity for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer.  The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.


 



A-23-4










The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Certificate Registrar and any of their agents may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agents shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.


 


The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties thereto, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or the Companion Holders:

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


 


(vi) to amend any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary or desirable to list the Certificates on a stock exchange, including, without limitation, the appointment of one or more sub-certificate administrators and the requirement that certain information be delivered to such sub-certificate administrators;

(ix) to modify the provisions of Sections 3.05 and 3.17 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (with respect to reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances and Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts) if (a) the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and, for so long as a Control Event has not occurred and is not continuing, the Directing Certificateholder, determine that the commercial mortgage backed securities industry standard for such provisions has changed, in order to conform to such industry standard, (b) each Rating Agency shall have been provided with a Rating Agency Communication with respect to such modification, and (c) if no Control Termination Event or Consultation 



A-23-5










Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Certificateholder consents to such modification;


 


(x) to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that if such modification materially increases the obligations of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the 17g-5 Information Provider, the Operating Advisor, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, then the consent of such party will be required;


 


(xi) in the event of a TIA Applicability Determination, to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as shall be necessary to (A) effect the qualification of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under the TIA or under any similar federal statute hereafter enacted and to add to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement such other provisions as may be expressly required by the TIA, and (B) modify such other provisions as are necessary to conform the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and be consistent with the modifications made pursuant to the preceding clause (A); provided that any amendment pursuant to this clause (xi) shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Depositor; and


 


(xii) any other amendment which does not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder (unless such Certificateholder consents).


 


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


 


The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than 51% of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the Class for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


(v) amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and confirmation of the applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any securities related to a Companion Loan, if any (provided that such rating agency 



A-23-6










confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.27 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.


 


Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Asset Representations Reviewer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Issuing Entity’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Issuing Entity or any Trust REMIC, or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code. Furthermore, no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes in any material respect to the rights of the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS] Certificates without the consent of such Class and no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes any provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the [LOAN SPECIFIC] Intercreditor Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Non-Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s).


 


The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon 60 days’ prior notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan) (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Issuing Entity’s portion of each REO Property (other than any portion related to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) remaining in the Issuing Entity, and thereby effect termination of the Issuing Entity and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, on or after the first Distribution Date on which  the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the Issuing Entity’s portion of any REO Loans remaining in the Issuing Entity is less than [_____].


 


Following the date on which the [APPLICABLE CLASSES] Certificates are retired (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS], Class [ARD] and Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder may, at its option exchange (subject to the Master Servicer’s consent) all of its Certificates (other than the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS], Class [ARD] and Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) and the Issuing Entity’s portion of each REO Property (other than any portion related to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) remaining in the Issuing Entity pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  If the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan is the sole remaining asset of the Issuing Entity, the Holders of the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS] Certificates may exchange their Certificates for the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and terminate the Issuing Entity pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Issuing Entity created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Issuing Entity due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.


 


Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose.  The Certificate Registrar has executed this Certificate on behalf of the Issuing Entity as 



A-23-7










Certificate Registrar under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans.


 


THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES APPLIED IN NEW YORK.

[LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS] CERTIFICATE


 


evidencing a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, consisting primarily of a pool of commercial mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans” (and a separate trust subordinate companion loan interest in a commercial mortgage loan)), all payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan due after the Cut-off Date, all REO Properties and revenues received in respect thereof, the mortgagee’s rights under the insurance policies, any Assignment of Leases, and any guaranties or other collateral as security for the Mortgage Loans and such amounts as shall from time to time be held in the Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts, the Interest Reserve Account, the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and the REO Accounts, formed and sold by


 


BANC OF AMERICA MERRILL LYNCH COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE INC.


 


THIS CERTIFIES THAT CEDE & CO.is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS] Certificates issued by the Issuing Entity created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of [_____], 20[__] (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among BANC OF AMERICA MERRILL LYNCH COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE INC. (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Operating Advisor.  A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter.  To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS] Certificates.  The Certificates are designated as the [ISSUING ENTITY], Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, [SERIES] and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Issuing Entity.


 


This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator.  This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is bound.  In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.


 


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.  Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.


 


Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.


 



A-24-4










Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed on the basis of the actual number of days in the Interest Accrual Period and a 360-day year) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS] Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Certificate Balance of this Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution Date.  Principal and interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the principal and interest portions of the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS] Available Funds to be distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


[LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS] Realized Losses, [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS] Certificate Deferred Interest and certain other amounts on the related Trust Subordinate Companion Loan shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the related Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee on behalf of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom.  Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments.  Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and administration of the Issuing Entity.


 


All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor.  The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.


 


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


 


As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in 



A-24-5










writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.


 


Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS] Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC in minimum denominations of $[_____], and in integral multiples of $[_] in excess thereof, with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial Certificate Balance of such Class.


 


No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Issuing Entity for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer.  The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.


 


The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Certificate Registrar and any of their agents may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agents shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.


 


The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties thereto, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or the Companion Holders:


 


(i) to correct any defect or ambiguity in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in order to address any manifest error in any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;


 


(ii) to cause the provisions in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to conform or be consistent with or in furtherance of the statements made in the Prospectus with respect to the Certificates, the Issuing Entity or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or to correct or supplement any of its provisions which may be inconsistent with any other provisions therein or to correct any error;


 


(iii) to change the timing and/or nature of deposits in the Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts or any REO Account; provided that (a) the Master Servicer Remittance Date shall in no event be later than the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date and (b) such change shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel at the expense of the party requesting such amendment or as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to such amendment;


 


(iv) to amend any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary or desirable to maintain the status of each REMIC (or any grantor trust portion of the Issuing Entity) for the purposes of federal income tax law (or comparable provisions of state income tax law);


 


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


 


(vi) to amend any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary or desirable to list the Certificates on a stock exchange, including, without limitation, the appointment of one or more sub-certificate administrators and the requirement that certain information be delivered to such sub-certificate administrators;


 



A-24-6










(vii) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under or with respect to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement not inconsistent with the provisions therein;


 


(viii) to modify, alter, amend, add or to rescind any of the provisions contained in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement if and to the extent necessary to comply with any rules or regulations promulgated, or any guidance provided with respect to Rule 15Ga-1 under the Exchange Act, by the SEC from time to time;


 


(ix) to modify the provisions of Sections 3.05 and 3.17 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (with respect to reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances and Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts) if (a) the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and, for so long as a Control Event has not occurred and is not continuing, the Directing Certificateholder, determine that the commercial mortgage backed securities industry standard for such provisions has changed, in order to conform to such industry standard, (b) each Rating Agency shall have been provided with a Rating Agency Communication with respect to such modification, and (c) if no Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Certificateholder consents to such modification;


 


(x) to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that if such modification materially increases the obligations of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the 17g-5 Information Provider, the Operating Advisor, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, then the consent of such party will be required;


 


(xi) in the event of a TIA Applicability Determination, to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as shall be necessary to (A) effect the qualification of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under the TIA or under any similar federal statute hereafter enacted and to add to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement such other provisions as may be expressly required by the TIA, and (B) modify such other provisions as are necessary to conform the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and be consistent with the modifications made pursuant to the preceding clause (A); provided that any amendment pursuant to this clause (xi) shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Depositor; and


 


(xii) any other amendment which does not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder (unless such Certificateholder consents).


 


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


 


The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than 51% of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the Class for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:


 


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


 


(ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or remove the requirement to obtain consent of any Companion 



A-24-7










Holder or Holder of [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS] Certificates, in any such case without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding or such Companion Holders, as applicable; or


 


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


 


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


 


(v) amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and confirmation of the applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any securities related to a Companion Loan, if any (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.27 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.


 


Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Asset Representations Reviewer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Issuing Entity’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Issuing Entity or any Trust REMIC, or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code. Furthermore, no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes in any material respect to the rights of the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS] Certificates without the consent of such Class and no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes any provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the [LOAN SPECIFIC] Intercreditor Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Non-Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s).


 


The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon 60 days’ prior notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan) (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Issuing Entity’s portion of each REO Property (other than any portion related to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) remaining in the Issuing Entity, and thereby effect termination of the Issuing Entity and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, on or after the first Distribution Date on which  the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the Issuing Entity’s portion of any REO Loans remaining in the Issuing Entity is less than [_____].


 


Following the date on which the [APPLICABLE CLASSES] Certificates are retired (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS], Class [ARD] and Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder may, at its option exchange (subject to the Master Servicer’s consent) all of its Certificates (other than the [LOAN SPECIFIC CLASS], Class [ARD] and Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) and the Issuing Entity’s portion of each REO Property (other than any portion related to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if the Trust AB Whole Loan (or the related REO Loan) is an asset of the Issuing Entity) remaining in the Issuing Entity pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  If the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan is the sole remaining asset of the Issuing Entity, the Holders of the [LOAN SPECIFIC 



A-24-8










CLASS] Certificates may exchange their Certificates for the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and terminate the Issuing Entity pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Issuing Entity created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Issuing Entity due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.


 


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


 


THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES APPLIED IN NEW YORK.

		Re:	Transfer of [CERTIFICATE CAPTION]





Ladies and Gentlemen:


This letter is delivered pursuant to Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of [DATE]  (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"), by and among Banc of America Merrill Lynch Commercial Mortgage Inc., as Depositor, [MASTER SERVICER], as Master Servicer, [CERTIFICATE ADMINISTRATOR], as Certificate Administrator, [SPECIAL SERVICER], as Special Servicer, [TRUSTEE], as Trustee, [ASSET REPRESENTATIONS REVIEWER], as Asset Representations Reviewer, and [OPERATING ADVISOR], as Operating Advisor, on behalf of the holders of [CERTIFICATE CAPTION] (the "Certificates") in connection with the transfer by _________________ (the "Seller") to the undersigned (the "Purchaser") of $_______________ aggregate Certificate Balance of Class ___ Certificates (the "Certificate").  Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


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


1.            Check one of the following:*


The Purchaser is not purchasing a Class R Certificate and the Purchaser is an institution that is an "accredited investor" (an "Institutional Accredited Investor") within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") or any entity in which all of the equity owners come within such paragraphs and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Certificates, and the Purchaser and any accounts for which it is acting are each able to bear the economic risk of the Purchaser's or such account's investment.  The Purchaser is acquiring the Certificates purchased by it for its own account or for one or more accounts, each















* Purchaser must include one of the following two certifications.



Exhibit C-1










of which is an Institutional Accredited Investor, as to each of which the Purchaser exercises sole investment discretion.  The Purchaser hereby undertakes to reimburse the Issuing Entity for any costs incurred by it in connection with this transfer.


The Purchaser is a "qualified institutional buyer" (a "QIB") within the meaning of Rule 144A ("Rule 144A") under the Securities Act.  The Purchaser is aware that the transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, and the Purchaser has had the opportunity to obtain the information required to be provided pursuant to paragraph (d)(4)(i) of Rule 144A.


2.            The Purchaser's intention is to acquire the Certificate (a) for investment for the Purchaser's own account or (b) for reoffer, resale, pledge or other transfer (i) to QIBs in transactions under Rule 144A, and not in any event with the view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof, or (ii) (other than with respect to a Class R Certificate) to Institutional Accredited Investors, subject in the case of clause (ii) above to (w) the receipt by the Certificate Registrar of a letter substantially in the form hereof, (x) the receipt by the Certificate Registrar of an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Trustee and Certificate Registrar that such reoffer, resale, pledge or transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act, (y) the receipt by the Certificate Registrar of such other evidence acceptable to the Certificate Registrar that such reoffer, resale, pledge or transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act and other applicable laws and (z) a written undertaking to reimburse the Issuing Entity for any costs incurred by it in connection with the proposed transfer.  The Purchaser understands that the Certificate (and any subsequent Certificate) has not been registered under the Securities Act, by reason of a specified exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the Purchaser's investment intent (or intent to reoffer, resell, pledge or transfer the Certificate only to certain investors in certain exempted transactions) as expressed herein.


3.            The Purchaser has reviewed the Prospectus relating to the Offered Certificates (the "Prospectus") (and, with respect to Offered Private Certificates, the Preliminary Private Placement Memorandum and the Final Private Placement Memorandum related to such Offered Private Certificates) and the agreements and other materials referred to therein and has had the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Prospectus.


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


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



Exhibit C-2










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


7.            Check one of the following:**


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


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


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

8.            Please make all payments due on the Certificates:****

COUNTY OF                                                                      )


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


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


2.            The Purchaser is acquiring Class R Certificates representing [__]% of the residual interest in each of the real estate mortgage investment conduits (each, a "REMIC") designated as the (i)  "Lower-Tier REMIC", (ii) "Upper-Tier REMIC" and (iii) "[LOAN SPECIFIC] Trust Subordinate Companion Loan REMIC", respectively, relating to the Certificates for which an election is to be made under Section 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code").


3.            The Purchaser is not a "Disqualified Organization" (as defined below), and that the Purchaser is not acquiring the Class R Certificates for the account of, or as agent or nominee of, or with a view to the transfer of direct or indirect record or beneficial ownership thereof, to a Disqualified Organization.  For the purposes hereof, a Disqualified Organization is any of the following:  (i) the United States, any State or political subdivision thereof, any possession of the United States or any agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing (other than an instrumentality which is a corporation if all of its activities are subject to tax and a majority of its board of directors is not selected by such governmental unit), (ii) a foreign government, any international organization or any agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing, (iii) any organization (other than certain farmers' cooperatives described in



Exhibit D-1-1










Section 521 of the Code) which is exempt from the tax imposed by Chapter 1 of the Code (including the tax imposed by Section 511 of the Code on unrelated business taxable income) on any excess inclusions (as defined in Section 860E(c)(1) of the Code) with respect to the Class R Certificates (except certain farmers' cooperatives described in Section 521 of the Code), (iv) rural electric and telephone cooperatives described in Section 1381(a)(2)(C) of the Code, (v) an "electing large partnership", as defined in Section 775 of the Code and (vi) any other Person so designated by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator based upon an Opinion of Counsel as provided to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator (at no expense to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator) that the holding of an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate by such Person may cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates are outstanding or any Person having an Ownership Interest in any Class of Certificates (other than such Person) to incur a liability for any federal tax imposed under the Code that would not otherwise be imposed but for the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate to such Person.  The terms "United States," "State" and "international organization" shall have the meanings set forth in Section 7701 of the Code or successor provisions.


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


5.            The Purchaser is a Permitted Transferee and, to the extent applicable, the Purchaser's U.S. taxpayer identification number is [__________].


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


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


8.            Check the applicable paragraph:


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


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


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


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


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



Exhibit D-1-2










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


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


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


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


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


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


            None of the above.

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.

Ladies and Gentlemen:


This letter is delivered to you in connection with the transfer by [______] (the "Transferor") to [______] (the "Transferee") of Class R Certificates evidencing a [__]% Percentage Interest in such Class (the "Residual Certificates").  The Certificates, including the Residual Certificates, were issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of [DATE]  (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"), by and among Banc of America Merrill Lynch Commercial Mortgage Inc., as Depositor, [MASTER SERVICER], as Master Servicer, [CERTIFICATE ADMINISTRATOR], as Certificate Administrator, [SPECIAL SERVICER], as Special Servicer, [TRUSTEE], as Trustee, [ASSET REPRESENTATIONS REVIEWER], as Asset Representations Reviewer, and [OPERATING ADVISOR], as Operating Advisor.  All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  The Transferor hereby certifies, represents and warrants to you, as Certificate Registrar, that:


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


(2)            The Transferor understands that the Transferee has delivered to you a Transferee Affidavit and Agreement in the form attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as Exhibit D-1.  The Transferor does not know or believe that any representation contained therein is false.


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

(v)      The Master Servicer determined that the defeasance collateral will be owned by an entity (the "Defeasance Obligor") that is a Single-Purpose Entity (as defined in Standard & Poor's Structured Finance Ratings Real Estate Finance Criteria, as amended to the date of the defeasance (the "S&P Criteria")) or is subject to restrictions in its organizational documents substantially similar to those contained in the organization documents of the original Borrower with respect to bankruptcy remoteness and single purpose as of the date of the defeasance, and after the defeasance owns no assets other than the defeasance collateral and real property securing Mortgage Loans included in the pool.
