Note A-8

Note A-9

	
$20,000,000




 

The Whole Loan
was co-originated by Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A. (“MSBNA”) and Goldman Sachs Bank USA (“GS
Bank” and, together with MSBNA, the “Originators”), pursuant to that certain Loan Agreement,
dated as of March 25, 2020 (as amended, modified or otherwise supplemented, the “Loan
Agreement”), between the Originators, as lenders, and FSP-South Flower Street Associates, LLC, as borrower
(the “Borrower”).

 

The Whole Loan consists of (a) the Trust Notes (as defined in the table above), which have an aggregate unpaid principal balance as of the Cut-off Date of $330,000,000 (collectively, the “Mortgage Loan”), and (b) the Non-Trust Notes (as defined in the table above), which have an aggregate unpaid principal balance as of the Cut-off Date of $220,000,000 (the “Companion Loans”). 

 

On or prior to
the Closing Date, MSBNA will sell Note A-1, Note A-2, Note A-3 and Note A-4 to Morgan Stanley Mortgage Capital Holdings LLC
(“MSMCH” or the “Mortgage Loan Seller”).  On or prior to the Closing Date,
MSMCH will sell Note A-1, Note A-2, Note A-3 and Note A-4 to the Depositor, pursuant to a Mortgage Loan Purchase and Sale
Agreement, dated May 6, 2020, by and between the Mortgage Loan Seller and the Depositor (the “Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement”).  As of the Closing Date, the Companion Loans will be held by GS Bank. 
The relative rights of the holders of each of the Notes in respect of the Whole Loan are set


 






     7


     


    

 


forth in an agreement between note holders dated as of the Closing Date (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Intercreditor Agreement”), between MSBNA and GS Bank.  From and after the Closing Date, the Whole Loan will be serviced and administered in accordance with this Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement.

 

As provided
for herein, the Trustee shall elect or shall cause elections to be made to treat designated portions of the Trust Fund
for federal income tax purposes as two separate real estate mortgage investment conduits (the
“Upper-Tier REMIC“ and the “Lower-Tier REMIC” and, each, a
“REMIC”).  The Class A, Class B, Class C and Class D Certificates and the RR Interest will
represent “regular interests” in the Upper-Tier REMIC.  The Class UT-R Interest will constitute the sole
Class of “REMIC residual interests” in the Upper-Tier REMIC.  The Class LA, Class LB, Class LC, Class LD
and Class LRR Uncertificated Interests will represent “regular interests” in the Lower-Tier REMIC.  The
Class LT-R Interest will constitute the sole Class of “REMIC residual interests” in the Lower-Tier REMIC. 
The Class R Certificates will evidence the sole Class of “residual interests” in each of the Upper-Tier REMIC
and Lower-Tier REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions under federal income tax law.

 

In exchange for the Mortgage Loan, the Trust shall issue to the Depositor all the Class A, Class B, Class C and Class D Certificates (collectively, the “Non-Retained Certificates”), the Class R Certificates and the RR Interest (together with the Non-Retained Certificates and the Class R Certificates, the “Certificates”), which Certificates in the aggregate shall evidence the entire beneficial interest in the Trust Fund.  The Trust Fund consists principally of the Trust Notes, the Mortgage (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein) and related Loan Documents (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein).  The Companion Loans and all amounts attributable thereto shall not be assets of the Trust Fund or any REMIC described herein and will be owned by the Companion Loan Holders.

 

The Depositor intends to sell the Certificates to the Initial Purchaser in an offering exempt from the registration requirements of the federal securities laws.

 

CERTIFICATES

 

The Upper-Tier REMIC will issue the “REMIC regular interests”, which will be represented by certificates having the same characteristics and the same designation.  The following table sets forth the class designation, the approximate initial Pass-Through Rate and the aggregate initial Certificate Balance (the “Original Certificate Balance”) for each Class of Certificates:

	(1)

	The
Class R Certificates will represent the Class UT-R Interest and the Class LT-R Interest.  The Class UT-R Interest and Class
LT-R Interest will not have Certificate Balances, will not bear interest and will not be entitled to distributions of Yield Maintenance
Premiums.  Any Aggregate Available Funds constituting assets remaining in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account after distributing
the Lower-Tier Distribution Amount shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class R Certificates in respect of the Class
LT-R Interest (but only to the extent of the Aggregate Available Funds for such Distribution Date, if any, remaining in the Lower-Tier
Distribution Account).  Any Aggregate Available Funds remaining in the Upper-Tier Distribution Account, after all required
distributions under this Agreement have been made to each other Class of Certificates and the Class LT-R Interest, will be distributed
to the Holders of the Class R Certificates in respect of the Class UT-R Interest.




 

	(2)

	The
RR Interest will not have a specified Pass-Through Rate (other than for tax reporting purposes), but will have an effective interest
rate equal to the Net Mortgage Rate and will be entitled to interest on any Distribution Date equal to the Retained Certificate
Interest Distribution Amount.




 

UNCERTIFICATED LOWER-TIER INTERESTS

 

The following table sets forth the initial Lower-Tier Principal Amounts and Pass-Through Rates for the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests comprising the regular interests in the Lower-Tier REMIC created hereunder:

(1)

	The
Pass-Through Rate for each Interest Accrual Period and each of the Class LA, Class LB, Class LC and Class LD Uncertificated Interests
will be the Net Mortgage Rate.




 

	(2)

	The
Class LRR Uncertificated Interest will not have a specified Pass-Through Rate (other than for tax reporting purposes), but will
have an effective interest rate equal to the Net Mortgage Rate.




 

All covenants and agreements made by the Depositor herein are for the benefit and security of the Certificateholders and the Trustee as Holder of the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests.  The Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian and the Trustee are entering into this Agreement, and the Trustee is accepting the trusts created hereby, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged.

 

The foregoing REMIC structure is intended to cause all of the cash from the Mortgage Loan to flow through to the Upper-Tier REMIC as cash flow on a REMIC regular interest, without creating any shortfall, actual or potential (other than for credit losses), to any REMIC regular interest and this Agreement shall be construed to accomplish such purpose.  To the extent that the structure is believed to diverge from such intention, the parties identifying such ambiguity shall notify the other parties hereto and the parties involved will resolve such ambiguities to accomplish the intended result and will to the extent necessary rectify any drafting errors or seek clarification to the structure without Certificateholder approval (but with guidance


 






     9


     


    

 


of counsel) to accomplish such intention, including, to the extent necessary, making any amendments in accordance with Section 12.1 of this Agreement.

“Nonrecoverable Advance”:  Any Advance or portion of an Advance previously made and not previously reimbursed, or proposed to be made, including interest on such Advance, which the Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee determines in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices (in the case of the Servicer or the Special Servicer) or good faith business judgment (in the case of the Trustee) would not be ultimately recoverable from subsequent payments or collections (including Foreclosure Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds (to the extent not made available for the repair or restoration of the affected portion of the Property) and Insurance Proceeds) in respect of the Mortgage Loan (or, in the case of Property Protection Advances made on the Whole Loan, out of collections on the Whole Loan) or the Property or from funds on deposit in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.4(c).  In making such recoverability determination, the Servicer, Special Servicer or Trustee, as applicable, will be entitled (a) to consider (among other things) (i) the obligations of the Borrower under the terms of the Loan Documents as they may have been modified and (ii) the Property in its “as is” or then-current condition and occupancy, as modified by such party’s assumptions (consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices in the case of the Servicer or the Special Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee) regarding the possibility and effects of future adverse change with respect to the Property, (b) to estimate and consider (among other things) future expenses (c) to estimate and consider (consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices in the case of the Servicer or the Special Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee) (among other things) the timing of recoveries and (d) to give due regard to the existence of any Nonrecoverable Advances, the recovery of which, at the time of such consideration, is being deferred or delayed by the 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.  The Trustee will be entitled to rely conclusively on the Servicer’s determination that an Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, and the Trustee and the Servicer will be entitled to rely conclusively on the Special Servicer’s determination that an Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance.  If the Special Servicer requests that the Servicer make an Advance, the Trustee and the Servicer may (but shall not be obligated to) conclusively rely on such request as evidence that such advance is not a Nonrecoverable Advance.

Delivery of any of the foregoing documents to a sub-servicer shall be deemed delivery to the Servicer and satisfy the Depositor’s obligations under this paragraph.  Neither the Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall have any liability for the absence of any of the foregoing items from the Servicer Mortgage File if such item was not delivered to the Servicer by the Mortgage Loan Seller.

2.9.   Representations
and Warranties Contained in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.  (a)  If (i) any party hereto
(A) discovers or receives notice alleging that any document required to be delivered by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the
Custodian  pursuant to Section 2.1 is not delivered as and when required, is not properly executed or is
defective on its face (each, a “Defect”) or (B) discovers or
receives notice alleging a breach of any representation or warranty made by the Mortgage Loan Seller relating to the Mortgage
Loan as set forth in Exhibit A to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (a “Breach”)
or (ii) the Special Servicer or the Depositor receives a Repurchase Communication of a request or demand for repurchase
of the Mortgage Loan alleging a Defect or Breach (any such request or demand, a “Repurchase
Request”), then such party shall give prompt written notice of such Defect, Breach or Repurchase Request
to the Mortgage Loan Seller, the other parties hereto and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post the same
to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website), to the extent notice has not previously been delivered to such Persons
pursuant to this sentence, provided, the Custodian shall have no obligation to determine if a Breach has
occurred.  The Special Servicer shall determine if any such Defect or Breach materially and adversely affects the value
of the Mortgage Loan or the interests of the Certificateholders therein (any such Defect or Breach, a “Material
Document Defect” and a “Material Breach,”
respectively).  If such Defect or Breach has been determined to be a Material Document Defect or Material Breach, then
the Special Servicer shall promptly (but in any event within three (3) Business Days) give written notice thereof to the
Mortgage Loan Seller, the other parties hereto and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post the same to the
17g-5 Information Provider’s Website).  A Defect or Breach that causes the Mortgage Loan to fail to be a
“qualified mortgage”, within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code (without regard to the rule in
Treasury Regulations Sections 1.860G-2(f)(2) that treats certain “defective obligations” as
“qualified mortgages”) will automatically be a Material Document Defect or Material Breach, respectively. 
If such determination is that the Defect or the Breach is a Material Document Defect or a Material Breach, the Special
Servicer shall request that the Mortgage Loan Seller (i) repurchase the Mortgage Loan at an amount equal to
the Repurchase Price, (ii) promptly cure such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, in all
material respects, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or (iii) if such
Material Document Defect or Material Breach is not related to the Mortgage Loan not being a “qualified
mortgage” (within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, without regard to the rule of Treasury Regulation
Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) which causes a defective mortgage loan to be treated as a “qualified mortgage”),
indemnify the Trust for losses directly related to such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, subject to receipt of a
Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to such indemnity.  In the case of a Material Document
Defect or Material Breach that causes the Mortgage Loan to be other than a “qualified mortgage” within the
meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code (but without regard to the rule in Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that
treats certain defective mortgage loans as “qualified mortgages”), such repurchase, cure or indemnity payment
shall occur within 85 days of the date of discovery of such Material Document Defect or Material Breach by any party to this
Agreement.  If a Responsible Officer of the Certificate Administrator or a Servicing Officer of the Servicer or the
Special Servicer, has actual knowledge that the Mortgage Loan Seller has


 






     82


     


    

 


defaulted on its obligation to cure, repurchase the Mortgage Loan or make an indemnity payment under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, such entity shall promptly notify the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, and the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Certificateholders of such default. The Trustee shall not have any obligation to determine if a Material Breach has occurred. The Special Servicer shall enforce the obligations of the Mortgage Loan Seller under Section 8 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.  Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, shall be carried out in such form, to such extent and at such time as if it were, in its individual capacity, the owner of the Mortgage Loan.  The Special Servicer shall be reimbursed for the reasonable costs of such enforcement (it being understood that a Liquidation Fee shall be payable to the Special Servicer as and only to the extent provided herein):  first, from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorneys’ fees against the Mortgage Loan Seller; second, out of the Repurchase 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 clause (viii) of Section 3.4(c) out of collections on the Mortgage Loan on deposit in the Collection Account.

 

If the Special Servicer or the Depositor receives a Repurchase Communication of a withdrawal of a Repurchase Request of which notice has been previously received or given and which withdrawal is by the Person making such Repurchase Request (a “Repurchase Request Withdrawal”), such party shall give written notice of such Repurchase Request Withdrawal to the Mortgage Loan Seller, the other parties hereto and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post the same to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website), to the extent notice has not previously been delivered to such Persons pursuant to this sentence.

 

Each notice of a Repurchase Request or Repurchase Request Withdrawal required to be given by a party pursuant to this Section 2.9(a) (each, a “Rule 15Ga-1 Notice”) shall be given no later than the tenth (10th) Business Day after receipt of a Repurchase Communication of such Repurchase Request or receipt of a Repurchase Communication of such Repurchase Request Withdrawal, and shall include (i) the identity of the Mortgage Loan, (ii) the date such Repurchase Request was received or the date such Repurchase Request Withdrawal was received, as applicable, (iii) if known, the basis for the Repurchase Request (as asserted in the Repurchase Request) and (iv) in the case of Rule 15Ga-1 Notices provided by the Special Servicer, a statement as to whether the Special Servicer currently plans to pursue such Repurchase Request.

 

In the event that the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian or the Servicer receives a Repurchase Communication of a Repurchase Request or Repurchase Request Withdrawal, such party shall promptly forward such Repurchase Request or Repurchase Request Withdrawal to the Special Servicer and include the following statement in the related correspondence: “This is a “Repurchase Request” or a “Repurchase Request Withdrawal” under Section 2.9(a) of the Trust and Servicing Agreement relating to the Morgan Stanley Capital I Trust 2020-CNP, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2020-CNP, requiring action by you as the recipient of such Repurchase Request or Repurchase Request Withdrawal thereunder”.  Upon receipt of such Repurchase Request or Repurchase Request Withdrawal by the Special Servicer, the Special Servicer shall be deemed to be the recipient of such Repurchase Request or Repurchase Request Withdrawal, and the Special Servicer shall comply with the


 






     83


     


    

 


notice procedures set forth in this Section 2.9(a) with respect to such Repurchase Request or Repurchase Request Withdrawal.

 

No Person that is required to provide a Rule 15Ga-1 Notice pursuant to this Section 2.9(a) (a “Rule 15Ga-1 Notice Provider”) shall be required to provide any information in a Rule 15Ga-1 Notice that is protected by the attorney-client privilege or the attorney work product doctrine.  The Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement will provide that (i) any Rule 15Ga-1 Notice provided pursuant to this Section 2.9(a) is so provided only to assist the Mortgage Loan Seller, the Depositor and their respective Affiliates to comply with Rule 15Ga-1 under the Exchange Act, Items 1104 and 1121 of Regulation AB and any other requirement of law or regulation and (ii)(A) no action taken by, or inaction of, a Rule 15Ga-1 Notice Provider and (B) no information provided pursuant to this Section 2.9(a) by a Rule 15Ga-1 Notice Provider in a Rule 15Ga-1 Notice shall be deemed to constitute a waiver or defense to the exercise of any legal right that such Rule 15Ga-1 Notice Provider may have with respect to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including with respect to any Repurchase Request that is the subject of a Rule 15Ga-1 Notice.

 

(b)        Upon receipt by the Servicer from the Mortgage Loan Seller of the Repurchase Price for the Mortgage Loan or any indemnification payment by the Mortgage Loan Seller, (i) the Servicer shall deposit such amount in the Collection Account, and shall cause a Servicing Officer to certify to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator as to the receipt by the Servicer of the Repurchase Price and the deposit thereof into the Collection Account pursuant to this Section 2.9(b) and shall deliver to the Custodian a Request for Release, in the form of Exhibit B hereto, regarding the Mortgage File related to the Mortgage Loan, (ii) the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, representation or warranty (except that the Mortgage Loan is owned by the Trust and is being sold free and clear of liens and encumbrances), as shall be prepared by such designee to vest in such designee the Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto and the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall have no further responsibility with regard to the Mortgage File, (iii) the Custodian shall release the Mortgage File pursuant to the Request for Release and (iv) if all of the Trust Notes are repurchased by the Mortgage Loan Seller, the Servicer shall release or cause to be released to the Mortgage Loan Seller any escrow payments and reserve funds held on the Trustee’s behalf, in respect of the Mortgage Loan (to the extent any action of the Servicer is required to be taken in order to release any such escrow payments or reserve funds under the terms of the Loan Documents).  If the Servicer continues to service the Whole Loan under this Agreement pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement following the Mortgage Loan Seller’s repurchase of the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, then the Servicer shall not be required to make any Monthly Payment Advances with respect to the Mortgage Loan.



 

(c)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defect (except for a Defect with respect to the document described in clause (i) of Section 2.1(b) and the documents described in clauses (ii)(B), (C), (D) and (H) of Section 2.1(b), which will be deemed to be a Material Document Defect) shall be considered to be a Material Document Defect unless the document with respect to which a Defect exists is required in connection with (A) an imminent enforcement of the Mortgage Loan Lender’s rights or remedies under the Mortgage Loan;


 






     84


     


    

 


(B) defending any claim asserted by the Borrower or third party with respect to the Mortgage Loan; (C) establishing the validity or priority of any lien on any collateral securing the Mortgage Loan; or (D) any immediate significant servicing obligations, including without limitation, making a claim under a title policy.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of the Mortgage Loan Seller to deliver to the Trustee and the Custodian copies of the UCC financing statements with respect to the Mortgage Loan shall not be a Material Document Defect.  The Trust’s sole remedy against the Mortgage Loan Seller in connection with a Material Document Defect or Material Breach shall be to enforce the Mortgage Loan Seller’s cure, repurchase and/or indemnity obligations in accordance with the provisions of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.

 

In addition, if there is a Material Breach or Material Document Defect with respect to the Property or a portion thereof, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be obligated to repurchase the Mortgage Loan if (i) the affected Property or portion may be released pursuant to the terms of any partial release provisions in the Loan Documents (and the Property or portion is, in fact, released), (ii) the remainder of the Property satisfies the requirements, if any, set forth in the Loan Documents and the Mortgage Loan Seller provides an opinion of counsel to the effect that such release would not cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur and (iii) each Rating Agency has provided a Rating Agency Confirmation.

 

2.10. Issuance
of Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests; Execution and Delivery of Certificates.  The Trustee acknowledges the assignment
in trust by the Depositor to the Trustee of the Trust Notes and other assets comprising the Trust Fund.  Concurrently with

Interests to the Depositor and (ii) the Class LT-R Interest, in exchange for the Mortgage Loan, receipt of which is hereby

3.2.  Sub-Servicing
Agreements.  (a)    The Servicer and the Special Servicer, each at its own expense without a right of
reimbursement under this Agreement or otherwise, may enter into sub-servicing agreements with sub-servicers for the servicing
and administration of the Mortgage Loan and the Companion Loans, provided that (i) any such sub-servicing agreement
shall be upon such terms and conditions as are not inconsistent with this Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement and as the
Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and the sub-servicer have agreed, and (ii) no sub-servicer retained by the
Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall grant any modification, waiver, or amendment to the Loan Documents without
the approval of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable.  References in this Agreement to actions taken or to
be taken, and limitations on actions permitted to be taken, by the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in servicing
the Whole Loan include actions taken or to be taken by a sub-servicer on behalf of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable. 
Each sub-servicer shall be (i) authorized to transact business and licensed in the applicable state(s), if, and to the extent,
required by applicable law to enable the sub-servicer to perform its obligations under the applicable sub-servicing agreement,
and (ii) qualified to perform its obligations under the applicable sub-servicing agreement.  For purposes of this Agreement,
the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be deemed to have received any amount when the sub-servicer receives
such amount, irrespective of whether such amount is remitted to the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, for deposit
in the Collection Account, any Cash Collateral Account, any Reserve Account or the Distribution Account, as applicable, and actions
taken by the sub-servicer shall be deemed to be actions of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable.  The Servicer
or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall notify the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Borrower and the Depositor
in writing promptly upon the appointment of any sub-servicer and promptly furnish the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator,
upon its request, with a copy of the sub-servicing agreement.  No sub-servicer shall be permitted to enter into any sub-servicing
agreement with other sub-servicers without the prior written consent of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable.

 

(b)        Notwithstanding any sub-servicing agreement, the Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall remain obligated and liable to the Trustee, the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders for the servicing and administering of the Mortgage Loan, the Companion Loans or the Foreclosed Property, as applicable, in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.1 without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of


 






     88


     


    

 


such sub-servicing agreement, or by virtue of indemnification from a sub-servicer, and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loan, the Companion Loans or the Foreclosed Property, as applicable,.

  

(c)        Any sub-servicing agreement entered into by the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide that it may be assumed or terminated by (i) the Trustee if the Trustee has assumed the duties of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, or if the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, is otherwise terminated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) a successor Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, if such successor Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, has assumed the duties of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, without cost or obligation to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the successor Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, the Trust or the Trust Fund.

 

(d)        Any sub-servicing agreement, and any other transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loan, the Companion Loans or Foreclosed Property, as applicable, involving a sub-servicer, shall be deemed to be between the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and such sub-servicer alone, and the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Trust, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the sub-servicer, and no provision herein shall be construed so as to require the Trust, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Depositor to indemnify any such sub-servicer.  The Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, are permitted, at its own expense, or to the extent that a particular expense is provided herein to be an Advance or an expense of the Trust, at the expense of the Trust, to utilize other agents or attorneys typically used by servicers of mortgage loans underlying commercial mortgage backed securities in performing its obligations under this Agreement (including, but not limited to, inspectors, appraisers, engineers, insurance, tax or UCC consultants and property managers).

 

(e)        Notwithstanding anything herein, each of the initial Servicer and the initial Special Servicer may delegate certain of its duties and obligations hereunder to an Affiliate of the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable.  Such delegation shall not be considered a sub-servicing agreement hereunder, and the requirements and obligations set forth herein applicable to sub-servicing agreements, sub-servicers or Servicing Function Participants shall not be applicable to such arrangement.  Notwithstanding any such delegation, the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall remain obligated and liable for the performance of their respective obligations and duties under this Agreement in accordance with the provisions hereof to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if each alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loan, the Companion Loans or the Foreclosed Property, as applicable, as required hereby.

On each Distribution Date occurring in January of each year (other than a leap year and commencing in 2021) and February of each year (commencing in 2021) (unless, in either case, such Distribution Date is the final Distribution Date), the Certificate Administrator shall deposit into the Interest Reserve Account an amount equal to one day’s net interest collected on the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan as of the Loan Payment Date occurring in the calendar month in which such Distribution Date occurs at the Net Mortgage Rate to the extent a full Monthly Payment or Monthly Payment Advance is made in respect thereof (all amounts so deposited in any January or February, “Withheld Amounts”).  For purposes of this calculation, the Net Mortgage Rate for those months will be calculated without regard to any adjustment for Withheld Amounts or the interest accrual basis as described in the definition of “Net Mortgage Rate”.  On each Remittance 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 and, if applicable, February (or only January, if the related Distribution Date in February is the final Distribution Date), if any, and transfer such amounts into the Distribution Account.

and the Trustee, as holder of the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests.  The Distribution Account must be an Eligible Account. 
On each Remittance Date, the Aggregate Available Funds in the Collection Account (other than any Withheld Amounts to be added
to such funds pursuant to Section 3.4(d)) shall be remitted by the Servicer to the Certificate Administrator for deposit

the Interest Reserve Account).  The Certificate Administrator shall credit the funds remitted by the Servicer from the Collection
Account to the Distribution Account.  Amounts held in the Distribution Account shall remain uninvested.

distributions to the Holder of the Class R Certificates (in respect of the Class LT-R Interest) pursuant to Section 4.1(c);

(ii)        to make distributions to Holders of the Regular Certificates and the Class R Certificates (in respect of the Class UT-R Interest) on each Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.1 or Section 11.1 and Section 11.2 as applicable; and

 

(iii)       to clear and terminate the Upper-Tier Distribution Account at the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.2.

 

3.6.  Foreclosed
Property Account.  The Special Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more deposit accounts (the “Foreclosed
Property Account”) in the name of “KeyBank National Association, as Special Servicer on behalf of Wells
Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders of Morgan Stanley Capital I Trust 2020-CNP,
Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2020-CNP and the Companion Loan Holders” related to the Foreclosed

Administrator in writing of the location and account number of the Foreclosed Property Account and shall notify the Trustee and
the Certificate Administrator in writing prior to any subsequent change thereof.

the Special Servicer shall notify the Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Controlling Class Representative
(during any Subordinate Control Period), the Risk Retention Consultation Party and the Companion Loan Holders (or, to the extent
a Companion Loan is included in an Other Securitization Trust, the related Other Servicer and Other Special Servicer), of such
occurrence of an Appraisal Reduction Event and


 






     96


     


    

 


order an independent Appraisal of the Property unless an Appraisal of the Property was performed within nine (9) months prior to the Appraisal Reduction Event and the Special Servicer is not aware of any material change in the market or condition or value of the Property.  The Special Servicer shall use efforts consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices to obtain such updated Appraisal within sixty (60) days after the occurrence of an Appraisal Reduction Event.  The Special Servicer shall determine on the basis of the applicable Appraisal whether there exists any Appraisal Reduction Amount and shall give notice thereof to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer, the Companion Loan Holders (or, to the extent a Companion Loan is included in an Other Securitization Trust, the Other Depositor, Other Servicer, and Other Certificate Administrator with respect to such Other Securitization Trust), the Risk Retention Consultation Party and, during any Subordinate Control Period, the Controlling Class Representative.  The cost of obtaining such Appraisal shall be paid by the Servicer as a Property Protection Advance unless it would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance and in such case, subject to the allocation provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, as an expense of the Trust.  Updates of Appraisals shall be obtained by the Special Servicer and paid for by the Servicer as a Property Protection Advance (or, subject to the allocation provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, paid for by the Trust if the Servicer determines that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance) every nine (9) months for so long as the Whole Loan remains specially serviced, and the Appraisal Reduction Amount shall be adjusted accordingly. If required in accordance with such adjustment, each Class of Certificates and any Companion Loan that has been notionally reduced as a result of Appraisal Reduction Amounts shall have its related Certificate Balance or principal balance, as applicable, notionally restored to the extent required by such adjustment of the allocable portion of Appraisal Reduction Amount, and the Certificate Administrator shall redetermine whether a Subordinate Control Period and/or a Subordinate Consultation Period is then in effect.  Any such Appraisal obtained shall be delivered by the Special Servicer to the Certificate Administrator (with a copy to the Trustee and the Servicer), the Controlling Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period), each Companion Loan Holder (or, to the extent a Companion Loan is included in an Other Securitization Trust, the Other Depositor, Other Servicer, Other Special Servicer, Other Trustee and Other Certificate Administrator with respect to such Other Securitization Trust) and the Risk Retention Consultation Party, in electronic format and the Certificate Administrator shall make such Appraisal available to Privileged Persons pursuant to Section 8.14(b).  The Special Servicer shall promptly notify the Servicer of the amount of any Appraisal Reduction Amount and, after receipt of such information from the Special Servicer, the Servicer shall promptly notify the Certificate Administrator of the amount of any Appraisal Reduction Amount (which notification may be satisfied through the delivery of such information included in the CREFC® Loan Periodic Update File pursuant to Section 3.18(a)).  Any Appraisal Reduction Amount will be calculated in respect of the Whole Loan taken as a whole and any such Appraisal Reduction Amount will be allocated to the Notes on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis.

 

(b)        To the extent that an Appraisal Reduction Amount exists and is allocated to the Mortgage Loan, (i) the amount of any Monthly Payment Advances shall be reduced as provided in Section 3.23(a) and (ii) the Voting Rights of certain Classes of Certificates will be reduced to the extent provided for herein.

 

(c)        Appraisal Reduction Amounts and Collateral Deficiency Amounts allocated to the Mortgage Loan shall be allocated between the RR Interest on the one hand and


 






     97


     


    

 


the Sequential Pay Certificates, on the other hand, based on the Required Credit Risk Retention Percentage and the Non-Retained Percentage, respectively.

  

(d)        To the extent that an Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount exists and is allocated to the Mortgage Loan, the Certificate Balances of the Sequential Pay Certificates shall be notionally reduced (solely for purposes of determining the Voting Rights of the related Classes) on any Distribution Date to the extent of the Allocated Appraisal Reduction Amount or Allocated Collateral Deficiency Amount allocated to such Class on such Distribution Date.  Any Allocated Appraisal Reduction Amount or Allocated Collateral Deficiency Amount allocated to the Mortgage Loan for any Distribution Date shall be applied to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances of the Sequential Pay Certificates in the following order of priority:  to the Class D, Class C, Class B and Class A Certificates, in that order (provided in each case that no Certificate Balance in respect of any such Class may be notionally reduced below zero). 

 

To the extent that an Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount exists and is allocated to the Mortgage Loan, the Certificate Balance of the RR Interest shall be notionally reduced (solely for purposes of determining the Voting Rights of the related Classes) on any Distribution Date to the extent of the Required Credit Risk Retention Percentage of such allocable portion of the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount on such Distribution Date.

 

(e)        In the event that a portion(s) of one or more Monthly Payment Advances with respect to the Mortgage Loan was reduced as a result of an Appraisal Reduction Event, the amount of the Net Liquidation Proceeds to be applied to interest shall be reduced by the aggregate amount of such reductions and the portion of such Net Liquidation Proceeds to be applied to principal shall be increased by such amount, and if the amounts of the Net Liquidation Proceeds to be applied to principal have been applied to pay the principal of the Mortgage Loan in full, any remaining Net Liquidation Proceeds shall then be applied to pay any remaining accrued and unpaid interest on the Mortgage Loan in accordance with Section 1.3.

 

(f)         If (i) an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred, (ii) with respect to the Property, either (A) no Appraisals or updates of the Appraisals have been obtained or conducted with respect to the Property or Foreclosed Property, as the case may be, during the 12-month period prior to the date of such Appraisal Reduction Event or (B) a material change in the circumstances surrounding the Property or Foreclosed Property, as the case may be, has occurred since the date of the most recent Appraisal that would materially adversely affect the value of the Property or Foreclosed Property, as the case may be, and (iii) no new Appraisal has been obtained or conducted for the Property or Foreclosed Property, as the case may be, within 60 days after the occurrence of the Appraisal Reduction Event, then (x) until the new Appraisal is obtained for the Property, the appraised value of the Property for purposes of determining the Appraisal Reduction Amount shall be equal to 75% of the most recent appraised value for the Property or Foreclosed Property, as the case may be (the “Assumed Appraised Value”), and (y) upon receipt or performance of the new Appraisal by the Special Servicer, the appraised value of the Property or Foreclosed Property, as the case may be, shall be based on such new Appraisal and the Appraisal Reduction Amount will be recalculated in accordance with the definition of Appraisal Reduction Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, deemed Appraisal


 






     98


     


    

 


Reduction Amounts imposed pursuant to clause (x) of the preceding sentence shall not be allocated to any Class of Certificates for purposes of determining whether a Subordinate Control Period or a Subordinate Consultation Period is then in effect or allocating Voting Rights provided, this sentence will not affect in any manner the effect of Appraisal Reduction Amounts based upon anything other than clause (x) of the preceding sentence, including when the related Appraisals are received.

  

(g)        As of the first Determination Date following the Whole Loan becoming an AB Modified Loan, the Special Servicer will be required to calculate whether a Collateral Deficiency Amount exists with respect to such AB Modified Loan, taking into account the most recent appraisal obtained by the Special Servicer with respect to the Whole Loan, and all other information relevant to a Collateral Deficiency Amount determination.  The Special Servicer shall promptly notify the Servicer in writing, whereupon the Servicer shall notify the Certificate Administrator in writing, of the amount of any Collateral Deficiency Amount allocated to the AB Modified 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).  None of the Servicer,  the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall be required to calculate or verify any Collateral Deficiency Amount. 

 

3.8. Investment
of Funds in the Collection Account and Any Foreclosed Property Account.  (a)  The Servicer (and, with respect
to the Foreclosed Property Accounts, the Special Servicer) may direct any depository institution maintaining the Collection Account,
any Foreclosed Property Account or any Reserve Account (to the extent interest is not payable to the Borrower or another party
under applicable law or the Loan Documents), respectively (each, for purposes of this Section 3.8, an “Investment
Account”), to invest the funds in such Investment Account in one or more Permitted Investments that bear interest
or are sold at a discount, and that mature, unless payable on demand, no later than the Business Day preceding the date on which
such funds are required to be withdrawn from such Investment Account pursuant to this Agreement.  Any direction by the Servicer
or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to invest funds on deposit in an Investment Account shall be in writing and shall certify
that the requested investment is a Permitted Investment which matures at or prior to the time required hereby or is payable on
demand.  All such Permitted Investments shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand.  Any investment of funds
in an Investment Account shall be made in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders (in its capacity as
such) or in the name of a nominee of the Trustee.  The Trustee shall have sole control (except with respect to investment
direction, which shall be in the control of the Servicer (or the Special Servicer, with respect to the Foreclosed Property Account)
as an independent contractor to the Trust Fund) over each such investment and any certificate or other instrument evidencing any
such investment shall be delivered directly to the Trustee or its agent (which shall initially be the Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as applicable), together with any document of transfer, if any, necessary to transfer title to such investment to the
Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders or its nominee.  The Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall have
no responsibility or liability with respect to the investment directions of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable,
or any losses resulting therefrom, whether from Permitted Investments or otherwise.  In the event amounts on deposit in an
Investment Account are at any time invested in a Permitted Investment payable on demand, the Servicer and the Special Servicer,
as applicable, shall:

 





     99


     


    

 

 

(i)     consistent with any notice required to be given thereunder, demand that payment thereon be made on the last day such Permitted Investment may otherwise mature hereunder in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) all amounts then payable thereunder and (2) the amount required to be withdrawn on such date; and

 

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

 

(b)        All net income and gain realized from investment of funds deposited in the Collection Account and the Reserve Accounts (to the extent interest is not payable to the Borrower or another party under applicable law or the Loan Documents) shall be for the benefit of the Servicer in accordance with the terms and priorities of this Agreement.  All net income and gain realized from investment of funds deposited in the Foreclosed Property Account shall be for the benefit of the Special Servicer.  Any net losses on funds in the Collection Account, the Reserve Accounts (except, in the case of any such loss with respect to a Reserve Account, to the extent any such losses are incurred on amounts invested for the benefit of the Borrower or other party under the terms of the Loan Documents) or the Foreclosed Property Account shall be reimbursed by the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, from its own funds promptly, but in any event on or prior to the Remittance Date following the realization of such loss; provided that neither the 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 Servicer, such federal or state chartered depository institution or trust company is not an Affiliate of the 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 Servicer shall take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate proceedings.  In the event the Servicer takes any such action, the Trust Fund shall pay or reimburse the Servicer, pursuant to Section 3.4(c), for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Servicer in connection therewith.

 

(d)        Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Servicer, nor the Special Servicer shall cover any losses from the bankruptcy or insolvency of a depository institution holding an account described in this Section 3.8, so long as (i) such depositary institution or trust company satisfied the qualifications set forth in the definition of Eligible Institution at the time such deposit was made and such institution was not an Affiliate of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable and (ii) such loss was incurred within 30 days after the date of such bankruptcy or insolvency.

3.9.  Payment
of Taxes, Assessments, etc.  The Servicer (other than with respect to Foreclosed Property) and the Special Servicer (with
respect to Foreclosed Property) shall maintain accurate records with respect to the Property (or the Foreclosed Property, as the
case may be) reflecting the status of taxes, assessments, charges and other similar items that are or may become a lien on the
Property (or the Foreclosed Property, as the case may be) and the status of insurance premiums payable in respect of insurance
policies required to be maintained pursuant to Section 3.11 hereof.  The Servicer shall obtain, from time to
time, all bills for the payment of such items (including renewal premiums).  The Servicer shall pay (or cause to be paid)
real estate taxes, insurance premiums and other similar items from funds in the applicable Reserve Account in accordance with
the Loan Agreement at such time as may be required by the Loan Documents.  If the Borrower does not make the necessary payments
and/or an Event of Default has occurred and amounts in any applicable Reserve Account are insufficient to make such payments,
the Servicer shall make a Property Protection Advance, subject to the determination of non-recoverability provided in Section 3.23,
from its own funds for amounts payable with respect to all such items related to the Property when and as the same shall become
due and payable.  The Servicer shall direct that the amount of funds in any applicable Reserve Account is increased when
and if applicable taxes, assessments, charges and other similar items, ground rents or insurance premiums are increased, in accordance
with the terms of the Loan Agreement.

 

3.10.  
Appointment of Special Servicer.  (a)  KeyBank National Association is hereby appointed as the initial Special
Servicer to service the Whole Loan after a Special Servicing Loan Event has occurred and is continuing and perform the other obligations
of the Special Servicer hereunder.

 

(b)        If there is a Special Servicer Termination Event with respect to any Special Servicer, such Special Servicer may be removed and replaced pursuant to Section 7.1.  The Trustee shall, promptly after such removal, so notify the Servicer, the Companion Loan Holders (or, to the extent a Companion Loan is included in an Other Securitization Trust, the Other Servicer and Other Special Servicer under the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post the same to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website).  The appointment of any such successor Special Servicer shall not relieve the Servicer or the Trustee of their respective obligations to make Advances as set forth herein; provided, the initial Special Servicer specified above shall not be liable for any actions or any inaction of such successor Special Servicer.  No termination fee shall be payable to the terminated Special Servicer.  No termination of the Special Servicer and appointment of a successor Special Servicer shall be effective until the successor Special Servicer has assumed all of its responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder in writing, a Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such appointment has been delivered to the Trustee and each Other Trustee, Other Servicer, Other Special Servicer and Other Certificate Administrator, and Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such appointment has been delivered to the Trustee.  Any successor Special Servicer shall be deemed to make the representations and warranties provided for in Section 2.7(a)mutatis mutandis as of the date of its succession.  The terminated Special Servicer shall retain all rights accruing to it under this Agreement, including the right to receive fees accrued prior to its termination and other amounts payable to it (including indemnification payments).

 





     101


     


    

 

 

(c)        Upon determining that a Special Servicing Loan Event has occurred and is continuing, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall promptly give notice thereof in writing to the Special Servicer or Servicer, as applicable, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Companion Loan Holders (or, to the extent a Companion Loan is included in an Other Securitization Trust, the Other Depositor, Other Servicer and Other Certificate Administrator under the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement), and the Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to provide the Special Servicer with all information, documents (but excluding the original documents constituting the Mortgage File) and records (including records stored electronically) relating to the Mortgage Loan and the Companion Loans and reasonably requested by the Special Servicer to enable it to assume its duties hereunder with respect thereto.  The Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to comply with the preceding sentence within five Business Days of the date that a Special Servicing Loan Event has occurred.  The Servicer in any event shall continue to act as Servicer and administrator of the Mortgage Loan and the Companion Loans until the Special Servicer has commenced the servicing of the Mortgage Loan and the Companion Loans, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Special Servicing Loan Event, which shall occur upon the receipt by the Special Servicer of the information, documents and records referred to in the preceding sentence.  The Special Servicer shall instruct the Borrower to continue to remit all payments in respect of the Mortgage Loan and the Companion Loans to the Servicer.  The Servicer shall forward any notices it would otherwise send to the Borrower under the Whole Loan to the Special Servicer who shall send such notice to the Borrower while a Special Servicing Loan Event has occurred and is continuing.

 

(d)        Upon determining that a Special Servicing Loan Event is no longer continuing, the Special Servicer shall immediately give notice thereof to the Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Companion Loan Holders (or, to the extent a Companion Loan is included in an Other Securitization Trust, the Other Depositor, Other Servicer and Other Certificate Administrator under the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement), and upon giving such notice such Special Servicing Loan Event shall cease, the Special Servicer’s obligation to service the Mortgage Loan and the Companion Loans shall terminate and the obligations of the Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loan and the Companion Loans shall resume and the Special Servicer shall return all of the information and materials furnished to the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.10(c) to the Servicer.

 

(e)        In connection with servicing the Whole Loan during the continuance of a Special Servicing Loan Event, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide to the Custodian originals of documents entered into in connection therewith that are required to be included within the definition of “Mortgage File” for inclusion in the Mortgage File (to the extent such documents are in the possession of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable) and copies of any additional related Mortgage Loan information, including correspondence with the Borrower, and the Special Servicer shall promptly provide copies of all of the foregoing to the Servicer as well as copies of any related analysis or internal review prepared by or for the benefit of the Special Servicer.



 

(f)         During any period in which a Special Servicing Loan Event is continuing, no later than the Business Day preceding each date on which the Servicer is required to furnish a report under Section 3.18(a) to the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Servicer a written statement describing (i) the amount of all payments on account of interest


 






     102


     


    

 


received on the Mortgage Loan and/or the Companion Loans, the amount of all payments on account of principal received on the Mortgage Loan and/or the Companion Loans, the amount of Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds and Net Liquidation Proceeds received, the amount of any Foreclosure Proceeds received with respect to the Property, and the amount of net income or net loss, as determined from management of a trade or business on, the furnishing or rendering of a non-customary service to the tenants of, or the receipt of any rental income that does not constitute Rents from Real Property with respect to, the Foreclosed Property, in each case in accordance with Section 3.15 and (ii) such additional information relating to the Whole Loan as the Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator reasonably requests to enable it to perform its duties under this Agreement.

 

(g)        Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding subsection (c), the Servicer shall maintain ongoing payment records with respect to the Mortgage Loan and the Companion Loans and shall provide the Special Servicer with any information reasonably required by the Special Servicer to perform its duties under this Agreement.

 

(h)        Within 60 days after a Special Servicing Loan Event occurs, the Special Servicer shall prepare a report (the “Asset Status Report”) for the Mortgage Loan, the Companion Loans and the Property and deliver the Asset Status Report to the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer, the Controlling Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period or any Subordinate Consultation Period), the Risk Retention Consultation Party and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post the same to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website) and the Companion Loan Holders.  Such Asset Status Report shall set forth the following information to the extent reasonably determinable:

 

(i)          summary of the status of the Mortgage Loan and/or the Companion Loans and any negotiations with the Borrower;

 

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

 

(iii)        the most current rent roll and income or operating statement available for the Property;

 

(iv)        the Special Servicer’s recommendations on how the Mortgage Loan and the Companion Loans might be returned to performing status or otherwise realized upon;

 

(v)         the appraised value of the Property together with the appraisal or the assumptions used in the calculation thereof;

 

(vi)         the status of any foreclosure actions or other proceedings undertaken with respect thereto, any proposed workouts with respect thereto and the status of any negotiations with respect to such workouts, and an assessment of the likelihood of additional Mortgage Loan Events of Default;

 

 



     103


     


    



 

(vii)         a description of any proposed actions;

 

(viii)         the alternative courses of action considered by the Special Servicer in connection with the proposed actions;

 

(ix)           the decision that the Special Servicer made or intends or proposes to make, including a narrative analysis setting forth the Special Servicer’s rationale for its proposed decision, including its rejection of the alternatives; and an analysis of whether or not taking such action is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery on a present value basis than not taking such action, setting forth (x) the basis on which the Special Servicer made such determination and (y) the net present value calculation (including the applicable discount rate used) and all related assumptions.  In connection with the foregoing analysis, if the Borrower has indicated their refusal to pay any Workout Fees, Special Servicing Fees or Liquidation Fees due to the Special Servicer, the Special Servicer must consider the costs to the Trust and the Companion Loan Holders and analyze as an alternative a sale of the Mortgage Loan and the Companion Loans or of the related Foreclosed Property or other exercise of remedies;

 

(x)          a summary of the status of any action that was described in the most recent prior Asset Status Report and subsequently effected by the Special Servicer; and

 

(xi)          such other information as the Special Servicer deems relevant in light of the proposed action and Accepted Servicing Practices.

 

The Special Servicer shall be required to (x) deliver to the Certificate Administrator a proposed notice to the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders (or, to the extent that a Companion Loan is included in an Other Securitization Trust, to the Other Depositor and Other Special Servicer under the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement) that will include a summary of the current Asset Status Report in an electronic format which format is reasonably acceptable to the Certificate Administrator (which shall be a brief summary of the current status of the Property and current strategy with respect to the Mortgage Loan and the Companion Loans), and the Certificate Administrator shall be required to post such notice and summary (but not the Asset Status Report) on the Certificate Administrator’s Website and (y) implement the Asset Status Report in the form delivered to the Depositor.  The Special Servicer may, from time to time, modify any Asset Status Report it has previously delivered and, following delivery of such modified Asset Status Report to the Depositor and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which the 17g-5 Information Provider shall promptly post to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 12.18) and a summary of the same to the Certificate Administrator (which the Certificate Administrator, shall post on the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 8.14(b)), implement such report. 

 

The Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall consult with each Companion Loan Holder (to the extent such Companion Loan Holder requests consultation), on a strictly non-binding basis, with respect to any recommended actions set forth in an Asset Status Report related to the Whole Loan and any Major Decisions to the extent set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement. In addition, each of the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall make itself available to the Companion Loan Holders for an annual meeting (which meeting may be


 






     104


     


    

 


held telephonically), upon reasonable notice and at times reasonably acceptable to the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in which servicing issues related to the Whole Loan are discussed to the extent required by the Intercreditor Agreement.

 

If during any Subordinate Control Period (i) the Controlling Class Representative affirmatively approves in writing an Asset Status Report or (ii) the Controlling Class Representative does not disapprove of such Asset Status Report within five (5) Business Days from receipt of an Asset Status Report, together with all information in the possession of the Special Servicer that is reasonably necessary for the Controlling Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period) to make a decision regarding the Asset Status Report, then the Special Servicer shall take the recommended actions described in the Asset Status Report.  In addition, following the occurrence of an extraordinary event with respect to the Property, or if a failure to take any such action at such time would be inconsistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, the Special Servicer may take actions with respect to the Property before the expiration of such five (5) Business Day period if the Special Servicer reasonably determines in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices that failure to take such action before the expiration of such five (5) Business Day period would materially and adversely affect the interest of the Certificateholders and, during any Subordinate Control Period, the Special Servicer has made a reasonable effort to contact the Controlling Class Representative.

 

During any Subordinate Control Period, if the Controlling Class Representative objects to an Asset Status Report within the above-referenced five (5) Business Day period, then the Special Servicer (absent a determination as described in the last sentence of the immediately preceding paragraph) shall revise such Asset Status Report as soon as practicable thereafter, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after such objection.  During any Subordinate Control Period, the Special Servicer shall revise such Asset Status Report as provided in the prior sentence until the Controlling Class Representative fails to disapprove such revised Asset Status Report in writing as described in the preceding sentence or until the Special Servicer makes a determination, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, that such objection of the Controlling Class Representative is not in the best interests of all the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders as a collective whole.  In any event, if the Controlling Class Representative does not approve an Asset Status Report within ninety (90) days from the first submission of such Asset Status Report, the Special Servicer shall take such action as specified in the last proposed Asset Status Report, provided that such action does not violate Accepted Servicing Practices.

 

During any Subordinate Consultation Period, the Controlling Class Representative shall be entitled to consult with the Special Servicer on a non-binding basis and propose alternative courses of action in respect of any Asset Status Report, and the Special Servicer shall consult on a non-binding basis with and consider such alternative courses of action and any other feedback provided by such party. 

 

The Special Servicer may revise the Asset Status Reports as it deems reasonably necessary in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices to take into account any input and/or recommendations of the Controlling Class Representative.  In addition, the Special Servicer may, from time to time, modify any Asset Status Report it has previously delivered and implement the


 






     105


     


    

 


new action in such revised report so long as such revised report has been prepared, reviewed and either approved or not rejected as provided above. 

  

The Asset Status Report does not replace or satisfy any other specific consent or approval right which the Controlling Class Representative may have. 

 

In connection with the approval or consultation rights of the Controlling Class Representative with respect to any Asset Status Report, if the Special Servicer determines that an action recommended in an Asset Status Report is necessary to protect the Property or the interest of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders as a collective whole from potential harm if such action is not taken, or if a failure to take any such action at such time would be inconsistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, the Special Servicer may take actions with respect to the Property before the expiration of the 5 Business Day period if the Special Servicer reasonably determines in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices that failure to take such actions before the expiration of the 5 Business Day period would materially adversely affect the interest of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders as a collective whole, and the Special Servicer has made a reasonable effort to contact the Controlling Class Representative.

 

The Special Servicer shall not take any action inconsistent with an Asset Status Report that has been adopted as provided above, unless such action would be required in order to act in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices.  If the Special Servicer takes any action inconsistent with an Asset Status Report that has been adopted as provided above, the Special Servicer shall promptly notify the Controlling Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period or Subordinate Consultation Period) of such inconsistent action and provide a reasonably detailed explanation of the reasons therefor.

 

The Special Servicer shall deliver to the Servicer, the Controlling Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period or Subordinate Consultation Period), the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post the same to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website) and, subject to Section 12.6, each Rating Agency, a copy of each Final Asset Status Report, in each case with reasonable promptness following the adoption thereof and in an electronic format reasonably acceptable to the Certificate Administrator.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary:  (i) the Special Servicer shall have no right or obligation to consult with or to seek and/or obtain consent or approval from any Controlling Class Representative prior to acting (and provisions of this Agreement or the Intercreditor Agreement requiring such consultation, consent or approval shall be of no effect) during the period following any resignation or removal of a Controlling Class Representative and before a replacement is selected and/or identified; and (ii) no advice, direction or objection from or by the Controlling Class Representative, as contemplated by Section 9.3, or pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement, as contemplated by this Agreement or the Intercreditor Agreement, may (and the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall ignore and act without regard to any such advice, direction or objection that the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, has determined, in its reasonable, good faith judgment, would):  (A) require or cause the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, to violate applicable law, the terms of the Loan Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement or this Agreement, including the its obligation to act in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, (B) result in the imposition of federal income tax on the Trust, cause either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC


 






     106


     


    

 


to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code, (C) expose the Trust, the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, any Certificateholder or any of their respective Affiliates, members, managers, officers, directors, employees or agents to any claim, suit or liability or (D) materially expand the scope of the Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s responsibilities under this Agreement.

  

(i)         During the continuance of a Special Servicing Loan Event, the Special Servicer shall have the authority to meet with the Borrower and, subject to the rights of the Controlling Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period or Subordinate Consultation Period), and take any actions consistent with Section 3.24, Accepted Servicing Practices and the most recent Asset Status Report.

 

(j)         In addition, during the continuance of a Special Servicing Loan Event, on the last day of each Collection Period, the Special Servicer shall prepare and deliver to the Servicer the CREFC® Special Servicer Loan File with respect to the Mortgage Loan and the Companion Loans.

 

(k)        Beginning in 2021 for the fiscal year ending 2020, if applicable, the Special Servicer shall prepare and file on a timely basis the reports of foreclosure and abandonment of the Property required by Section 6050J of the Code and the reports of discharges of indebtedness income in respect of the Mortgage Loan required by Section 6050P of the Code.

 

3.11.   
Maintenance of Insurance and Errors and Omissions and Fidelity Coverage.  (a)  The Servicer, consistent
with Accepted Servicing Practices and the Loan Documents, shall use efforts consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices to cause
to be maintained by the Borrower (or if the Borrower fails to maintain such insurance in accordance with the Loan Agreement, the
Servicer shall cause to be maintained to the extent the Trustee, as mortgagee of record, has an insurable interest) insurance
with respect to the Property of the types and in the amounts required to be maintained (to the extent such insurance is available
at commercially reasonable rates, provided, that the commercially reasonable requirement shall not apply with respect to terrorism
insurance which will be governed by the Loan Documents) by the Borrower under the Loan Documents.  The cost of any such insurance
maintained by the Servicer shall be advanced by the Servicer, as a Property Protection Advance unless it would be a Nonrecoverable
Advance in which case the Servicer shall make such payment from the Collection Account, which payment shall be a Trust Fund Expense
(unless such expense is reimbursed with funds otherwise paid from amounts allocable to the Companion Loans pursuant to the terms
of the Intercreditor Agreement).  Reimbursement of any such Property Protection Advance shall be paid from amounts on deposit
in the Collection Account allocable to the Notes on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis, pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor
Agreement.  If such amounts are reimbursed from amounts allocable to the Mortgage Loan, the Servicer or the Special Servicer,
as applicable, will be required, after receiving payment from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account allocable to the Mortgage
Loan, if any, to (i) promptly notify the Companion Loan Holders and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to exercise on behalf
of the Issuing Entity the rights of the Issuing Entity under the Intercreditor Agreement to obtain reimbursement for the portion
of such amount allocable to the Companion Loans on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis.  Neither the Servicer nor the Special
Servicer shall be required to


 






     107


     


    

 


maintain all-risk casualty insurance that does not contain any carve-out for terrorist or similar acts (and the Borrower’s failure to obtain such insurance shall not be declared a default under the Loan Documents), if and only if the Special Servicer has determined that such failure is an Acceptable Insurance Default, evaluated on an annual basis.  In making any determination related to an Acceptable Insurance Default, the Special Servicer, to the extent consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, is entitled to rely on the opinion of an insurance consultant, the cost of which shall constitute an Administrative Advance (or to the extent such cost does not constitute a Borrower Reimbursable Trust Fund Expense, a Property Protection Advance).  Neither the Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be required to obtain terrorism insurance pursuant to this Agreement to the extent the Borrower would not be obligated to maintain terrorism insurance under the Loan Documents as in effect on the date thereof.

  

(b)        The Special Servicer, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices and the Loan Documents, shall cause to be maintained such insurance (including environmental insurance) with respect to the Foreclosed Property as the Borrower is required to maintain with respect to the Property referred to in subsection (a) of this Section 3.11 or, at the Special Servicer’s election, coverage satisfying insurance requirements consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices.  The cost of any such insurance with respect to a Foreclosed Property shall be payable out of amounts on deposit in the Foreclosed Property Account or shall be advanced by the Servicer as a Property Protection Advance unless such advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance.  Reimbursement of any such Property Protection Advance shall be paid from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account allocable to the Notes on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis, pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.  If such amounts are reimbursed from amounts allocable to the Mortgage Loan, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, will be required, after receiving payment from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account allocable to the Mortgage Loan, if any, to (i) promptly notify the Companion Loan Holders and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to exercise on behalf of the Issuing Entity the rights of the Issuing Entity under the Intercreditor Agreement to obtain reimbursement for the portion of such amount allocable to the Companion Loans on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis.  Any such insurance (other than terrorism insurance, which shall be maintained to the extent required under subsection (a)) that is required to be maintained with respect to the Foreclosed Property shall only be so required to the extent such insurance is available at commercially reasonable rates.  The Special Servicer may utilize an independent consultant, to be paid as an Administrative Advance, or, to the extent not reimbursable by the Borrower as a Borrower Reimbursable Trust Fund Expense, a Property Protection Advance.  If the Special Servicer requests the Servicer to make a Property Protection Advance in respect of the premiums due in respect of such insurance (which request shall be made in writing not less than five Business Days’ before the date on which the Servicer is requested to make such Property Protection Advance; provided that only three Business Days’ notice shall be required in respect of such a Property Protection Advance required to be made on an urgent or emergency basis), the Servicer shall, as soon as practicable after receipt of such request, make such Property Protection Advance unless such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, and if the Servicer does not make such Advance, the Trustee (within five (5) Business Days of its receipt of notice of the Servicer’s failure to make such Advance) shall make an Advance of the premiums to maintain such insurance, provided that, in each such case, such obligations shall be subject to the provisions of this Agreement concerning Nonrecoverable Advances, the Trustee as mortgagee of


 






     108


     


    

 


record having an insurable interest and the availability of such insurance at commercially reasonable rates.

 

(c)        The Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may satisfy its obligations to cause insurance policies to be maintained by maintaining a master force placed or blanket insurance policy insuring against losses on the Property or the Foreclosed Property, as the case may be for which coverage is otherwise required to be maintained as set forth in the preceding subsections of this Section 3.11.  The incremental cost of such insurance allocable to the Property or Foreclosed Property, if not borne by the Borrower, shall be paid by the Servicer as a Property Protection Advance unless it would be a Nonrecoverable Advance.  If such master force placed or blanket insurance policy contains a deductible clause, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be obligated to deposit in the Collection Account out of its own funds all sums that would have been deposited therein but for such clause to the extent any such deductible exceeds the deductible limitation provided for in the Loan Documents, or in the absence of any such deductible limitation, the deductible limitation that is consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices.

 

(d)        Each of the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall obtain and maintain at its own expense, and keep in full force and effect throughout the term of this Agreement, a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, the issuer of which has the applicable Qualified Insurer Ratings, covering its directors, officers and employees of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in connection with its activities under this Agreement.  Each such insurance policy shall protect the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, against losses resulting directly from forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions of such covered persons.  Coverage of the Servicer or the Special Servicer under a policy or bond obtained by an Affiliate thereof and providing the coverage required by this Section 3.11(d) shall satisfy the requirements of this Section 3.11(d).  The amount of coverage shall be at least equal to the coverage that is required by applicable governmental authorities having regulatory power over the Servicer and the Special Servicer.  If no such coverage amounts are imposed by such regulatory authorities, the amount of coverage shall be at least equal to the coverage that would be required by FNMA or FHLMC with respect to the Servicer and the Special Servicer if each were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loan for FNMA or FHLMC or as otherwise approved by FNMA or FHLMC.  In the event that any such bond or policy ceases to be in effect, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall obtain a comparable replacement bond or policy.  Each shall use reasonable efforts to cause each and every sub-servicer, if any, to maintain a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy meeting the requirements as described above.  In lieu of the foregoing, but subject to this Section 3.11, each of the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to self-insure with respect to such risks so long as its (or its immediate or ultimate parent’s) long-term unsecured debt or deposit rating is no lower than “A2” by Moody’s and “A-” by Fitch (or, if not then rated by Fitch, rated at least an equivalent rating by KBRA).

 

(e)        No provision of this Section 3.11 requiring such fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Servicer or the Special Servicer from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement.  The Trustee and/or Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to request, upon receipt of a written request from any Certificateholder, and the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each deliver or cause to be


 






     109


     


    

 


delivered to the Trustee and/or Certificate Administrator, a certificate of insurance from the surety and insurer certifying that such insurance is in full force and effect.  The Trustee and/or Certificate Administrator will make any such certificate of insurance available to the requesting Certificateholder on a confidential basis.



 

3.12. 
Procedures with Respect to Mortgage Loan; Realization upon the Property.  (a)  Upon an Event of Default,
the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trustee (during any Subordinate Control Period, with notification to and consent of the
Controlling Class Representative or, during any Subordinate Consultation Period, with notification to and upon consultation with
the Controlling Class Representative), subject to the terms of the Loan Documents and consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices,
shall promptly pursue the remedies set forth therein, including foreclosure or otherwise realization on the Property and the other
collateral for the Whole Loan.  In connection with any foreclosure, enforcement of the applicable Loan Documents or other
realization on the Collateral, the Special Servicer shall direct the Servicer to, and the Servicer shall, pay the costs and expenses
in any such proceedings as a Property Protection Advance unless the Servicer determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing
Practices, that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. In such case, if the Special Servicer determines (with
the Servicer permitted to conclusively rely upon any such determination) that such payment would be in the best interests of the
Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and Companion Loan Holders
constituted a single lender) the Special Servicer shall direct the Servicer to make such payment from the Collection Account,
which payment shall be a Trust Fund Expense (unless such expenses are reimbursed with funds otherwise paid from amounts allocable
to the Companion Loans pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement).  Reimbursement of any such Property Protection
Advance shall be paid from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account allocable to the Notes on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis,
pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.  If such amounts are reimbursed from amounts allocable to the Mortgage
Loan, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, will be required, after receiving payment from amounts on deposit in
the Collection Account allocable to the Mortgage Loan, if any, to (i) promptly notify the Companion Loan Holders and (ii) use
commercially reasonable efforts to exercise on behalf of the Issuing Entity the rights of the Issuing Entity under the Intercreditor
Agreement to obtain reimbursement for the portion of such amount allocable to the Companion Loans on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu
Basis.

 

(b)        Such proposed acceleration of the Mortgage Loan and/or foreclosure on the Property shall be taken unless the Special Servicer waives such Event of Default (or modifies or amends the Mortgage Loan to cure the Event of Default), which the Special Servicer may do if such modification, waiver or amendment is consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices and does not cause either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or constitute a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan under Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b).

 

(c)        In connection with such foreclosure as set forth in Section 3.12(a) or other realization on the Property, the Special Servicer shall follow Accepted Servicing Practices; provided, that the Special Servicer shall not be permitted to direct the Servicer, and neither the Special Servicer nor the Servicer shall be required, to expend its own funds to restore the


 






     110


     


    

 


Property damaged by an Uninsured Cause unless the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, permitted the related insurance policy to lapse in violation of its respective obligations hereunder.  If the Servicer does expend its own funds to restore the Property damaged by an Uninsured Cause (which insurance policy did not lapse in violation of the Servicer’s obligations), such expense shall be a Property Protection Advance.  In connection with any foreclosure, enforcement of the Loan Documents or other realization on the Collateral, the Special Servicer shall direct the Servicer to, and the Servicer shall, pay the costs and expenses in any such proceedings as a Property Protection Advance unless the Servicer determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.  Reimbursement of any such Property Protection Advance shall be paid from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account allocable to the Notes on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis, pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.  If such amounts are reimbursed from amounts allocable to the Mortgage Loan, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, will be required, after receiving payment from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account allocable to the Mortgage Loan, if any, to (i) promptly notify the Companion Loan Holders and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to exercise on behalf of the Issuing Entity the rights of the Issuing Entity under the Intercreditor Agreement to obtain reimbursement for the portion of such amount allocable to the applicable Companion Loans on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis.

 

(d)        Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer may not foreclose on the Property on behalf of the Trust Fund and the Companion Loan Holders and thereby be the beneficial owner of the Property, or take any other action with respect to the Property that would cause the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust Fund and the Companion Loan Holders, to be considered to hold title to, to be a “mortgagee-in-possession” of, or to be an “owner” or “operator” of the Property within the meaning of CERCLA or any comparable law, unless the Special Servicer has previously determined, based on a report prepared at the expense of the Trust Fund by an Independent Person who regularly conducts site assessments for purchasers of comparable properties (a copy of such report to be provided to each Companion Loan Holder (or, to the extent that a Companion Loan is included in an Other Securitization Trust, the Other Servicer and Other Special Servicer under the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement), that (i) the Property is in compliance with applicable environmental laws or that taking the remedial actions necessary to comply with such laws is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery on a present value basis than not taking such actions and (ii) there are no circumstances known to the Special Servicer relating to the use of hazardous substances or petroleum-based materials which require investigation or remediation, or that if such circumstances exist taking such remedial actions is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery on a net present value basis than not taking such actions.  The Special Servicer shall deliver a copy of any such report to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post the same to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website).

 

If the Special Servicer has so determined based on satisfaction of the criteria in this Section 3.12(d) that it would be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund and the Companion Loan Holders (as determined in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices) to institute a foreclosure or take any other actions described in the immediately preceding paragraph, then subject to the rights of the Controlling Class Representative to consent to and/or


  






     111


     


    

 


consult in respect of such action pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall take such proposed action.

  

The Special Servicer shall direct the Servicer to, and the Servicer shall, advance the cost of any such compliance, containment, clean up or remediation as a Property Protection Advance unless the Servicer determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.  Reimbursement of any such Property Protection Advance shall be paid from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account allocable to the Notes on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis, pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.  If such amounts are reimbursed from amounts allocable to the Mortgage Loan, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, will be required, after receiving payment from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account allocable to the Mortgage Loan, if any, to (i) promptly notify the Companion Loan Holders and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to exercise on behalf of the Issuing Entity the rights of the Issuing Entity under the Intercreditor Agreement to obtain reimbursement for the portion of such amount allocable to the Companion Loans on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis.

 

(e)        The environmental site assessments contemplated by Section 3.12(d) shall be prepared by any Independent Person who regularly conducts environmental site assessments for purchasers of comparable properties, as determined by the Servicer in a manner consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices.  The cost of each such environmental site assessment shall qualify as a Property Protection Advance and shall be advanced by the Servicer unless the Servicer determines that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.  Reimbursement of any such Property Protection Advance shall be paid from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account allocable to the Notes on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis, pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.  If such amounts are reimbursed from amounts allocable to the Mortgage Loan, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, will be required, after receiving payment from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account allocable to the Mortgage Loan, if any, to (i) promptly notify the Companion Loan Holders and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to exercise on behalf of the Issuing Entity the rights of the Issuing Entity under the Intercreditor Agreement to obtain reimbursement for the portion of such amount allocable to the Companion Loans on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis.

 

(f)         Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Special Servicer shall not hold for the benefit of the Trust Fund any personal property pursuant to this Section 3.12 unless:

 

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

 

(ii)        the Special Servicer shall have obtained an Opinion of Counsel (the cost of which shall be paid by the Servicer as a Property Protection Advance unless the Servicer determines that such Property Protection Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance) to the effect that the holding of such personal property by the Trust Fund will not cause the imposition of a tax on the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or cause the Upper-Tier REMIC or the


 






     112


     


    

 


Lower-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interest or Certificate is outstanding.



 

(g)        Notwithstanding any acquisition of title to the Property following an Event of Default under the Whole Loan and cancellation of the Whole Loan, the Mortgage Loan and the Companion Loans, the Whole Loan, the Mortgage Loan and the Companion Loans shall be deemed to remain outstanding and held in the Trust Fund (with respect to the Mortgage Loan) or by the Companion Loan Holders (with respect to the Companion Loans) for purposes of the application of collections and shall be reduced only by collections net of expenses.  For purposes of all calculations hereunder, so long as the Mortgage Loan and the Companion Loans shall be deemed to remain outstanding, (i) it shall be assumed that the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and the Companion Loans immediately after any discharge is equal to the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and the Companion Loans, respectively, immediately prior to such discharge and (ii) Foreclosure Proceeds shall be applied as provided in Section 1.3(b).

 

3.13.  
Custodian and Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Items in the Mortgage File.  From time to time and as appropriate for
the servicing of the Mortgage Loan or Foreclosure of or realization on the Property, the Custodian shall, upon receipt from a
Servicing Officer of the Servicer or the Special Servicer of a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit B hereto, release
or cause to be released any items from the Mortgage File to the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, within the
lesser of (i) seven (7) calendar days and (ii) five (5) Business Days of its receipt of the related receipt for release. 
All Foreclosures shall be instituted in the Special Servicer’s own name, as an authorized delegate of the Trustee, on behalf
of the Trust Fund, pursuant to a limited power of attorney substantially in the form of Exhibit N hereto from the Trustee
to the Special Servicer.  In the event the Special Servicer cannot institute a Foreclosure in its own name, the Special Servicer
shall notify the Trustee and the Trustee shall, at the written request of a Servicing Officer of the Special Servicer, execute
such documents furnished to it as shall be necessary to the prosecution of any such Foreclosure.  Such receipt for release
shall obligate the Servicer or the Special Servicer to (and the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall) return such
items to the Custodian when the need therefor by the Servicer or the Special Servicer no longer exists.

 

3.14.  Title
and Management of Foreclosed Property.  (a)  In the event that title to the Property is acquired for the benefit
of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders in foreclosure or by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, the deed,
certificate of sale or other comparable document shall be taken in the name of the Trustee, or its nominee (which shall not include
the Special Servicer), on behalf of the Trust Fund and the Companion Loan Holders or as otherwise contemplated pursuant to Section 8.10. 
Title may be taken in the name of a limited liability company wholly-owned by the Trust and which is managed by the Special Servicer
(the costs of which shall be advanced by the Servicer, provided that such Advance would not be a Nonrecoverable Advance). 
Promptly after such acquisition of title, the Special Servicer shall consult with counsel to determine when an Acquisition Date
shall be deemed to occur under the REMIC Provisions with respect to the affected Property, the expense of such consultation being
treated as a reimbursable expense of the Servicer related to the foreclosure.  The Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust
Fund (and the Companion Loan Holders), shall dispose of the Foreclosed Property in accordance with, and subject to the conditions
set forth in,


 






     113


     


    

 


Sections 3.15 and 13.2.  Subject to Sections 13.2 and 3.14(d), the Special Servicer shall hire on behalf of the Trust Fund and the Companion Loan Holders a Successor Manager to manage, conserve, protect and operate such Foreclosed Property for the Certificateholders (and the Companion Loan Holders) solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale.  In connection with such management and subject to Section 3.4(c)(xii), the Successor Manager shall be entitled to the REO Management Fee solely from the Foreclosed Property Account or the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.4(c)(xii).

 

 

 

(b)        The Special Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received in connection with the operation of the Foreclosed Property separate and apart from its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain with respect to the Foreclosed Property a Foreclosed Property Account in the name of the Special Servicer for the benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders (and the Companion Loan Holders) pursuant to Section 3.6.

 

(c)        The Special Servicer shall have full power and authority, subject to Accepted Servicing Practices and the specific requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement, to do any and all things in connection with the Foreclosed Property for the benefit of the Trust Fund and Companion Loan Holders on such terms as are appropriate and necessary for the efficient operation or liquidation, as applicable, of the Foreclosed Property, so long as the Special Servicer deems such actions to be consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Special Servicer may retain an independent contractor to operate and manage the Foreclosed Property; however, the retention of an independent contractor will not relieve the Special Servicer of its obligations hereunder with respect to the Foreclosed Property.

 

The Special Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited on a daily basis in the Foreclosed Property Account all revenues received with respect to the Foreclosed Property, and the Special Servicer shall cause to be withdrawn therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of the Foreclosed Property and for other expenses related to the preservation and protection of the Foreclosed Property, including, but not limited to:

 

(i)         all insurance premiums due and payable in respect of the Foreclosed Property;

 

(ii)        all taxes, assessments, charges or other similar items in respect of the Foreclosed Property that could result or have resulted in the imposition of a lien thereon; and

 

(iii)    
   all costs and expenses necessary to preserve the Foreclosed Property, including the payment of ground rent,
if any. 

 

To the extent that amounts on deposit in the Foreclosed Property Account are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) above, the Special Servicer shall direct the Servicer to, and the Servicer shall, make a Property Protection Advance unless the Servicer determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that such Advance would


 






     114


     


    

 


constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.  Reimbursement of any such Property Protection Advance shall be paid from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account allocable to the Notes on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis, pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.  If such amounts are reimbursed from amounts allocable to the Mortgage Loan, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, will be required, after receiving payment from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account allocable to the Mortgage Loan, if any, to (i) promptly notify the Companion Loan Holders and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to exercise on behalf of the Issuing Entity the rights of the Issuing Entity under the Intercreditor Agreement to obtain reimbursement for the portion of such amount allocable to the Companion Loans on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis.

 

(d)        The Special Servicer, in the name of the Trust Fund, shall (subject to Section 3.14(a)) contract with any Successor Manager for the operation and management of any Foreclosed Property; provided that no such contract shall impose individual liability on the Trustee or the Trust; provided, further, that:

 

(i)         the terms and conditions of any such contract shall not be inconsistent herewith;

 

(ii)         any such contract shall require, or shall be administered to require, that the Successor Manager (A) request that the Special Servicer pay from the Foreclosed Property Account all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the operation and management of any Foreclosed Property, and (B) remit all related revenues (net of such costs and expenses) to the Special Servicer, for deposit into the Foreclosed Property Account, as soon as practicable but in no event later than the Business Day immediately following receipt; and

 

(iii)         none of the provisions of this Section 3.14 relating to any such contract or to actions taken through any such Successor Manager shall be deemed to relieve the Special Servicer of any of its ordinary and regularly recurring duties and obligations to the Trust Fund on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders with respect to the operation and management of any Foreclosed Property.

 

The Special Servicer shall be entitled, and to the extent required by the REMIC Provisions, shall be required, to enter into an agreement with any Independent Contractor performing services for it related to its duties and obligations hereunder for indemnification of the Special Servicer by such Independent Contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.  All REO Management Fees shall be an expense of the Trust Fund payable from the Foreclosed Property Account or subject to reimbursement pursuant to Section 3.4(c)(xi).  The Special Servicer agrees to monitor the performance of the Successor Manager and to enforce the obligations of the Successor Manager on behalf of the Trust Fund and the Companion Loan Holders.  Expenses incurred by the Special Servicer in connection herewith shall qualify as Property Protection Advances.

  

(e)        On or before the last day of each Collection Period, the Special Servicer shall withdraw from the Foreclosed Property Account and deposit into the Collection Account the proceeds and collections received or collected since the preceding Remittance Date through


 






     115


     


    

 


the Business Day prior to the Remittance Date on or with respect to the Foreclosed Property (including any funds no longer needed in any reserves established as provided below), net of expenses paid therefrom and amounts reasonably expected to be needed to fund any reserves deemed necessary for the operation, preservation and protection of the Foreclosed Property, including without limitation, the creation of reasonable reserves for working capital, repairs, replacements and necessary capital improvements and other related expenses.

 

3.15.  Sale
of Foreclosed Property.  (a)  In the event that title to the Property is acquired by the Special Servicer for
the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise,
the deed, certificate of sale or other comparable document shall be taken in the name of the Trustee, or its nominee (which shall
not include the Special Servicer), on behalf of the Trust Fund and the Companion Loan Holders or as otherwise contemplated pursuant
to Section 8.10.  Title may be taken in the name of a limited liability company wholly-owned by the Trust and
that is managed by the Special Servicer (the costs of which shall be advanced by the Servicer, provided that such Advance
would not be a Nonrecoverable Advance).  The Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund (and the Companion Loan Holders),
shall sell the Foreclosed Property as expeditiously as appropriate in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, but in no
event later than the time period set forth in Section 13.2 hereof in a manner provided under this Section 3.15.

 

(b)        If the Special Servicer or an Affiliate thereof acquires any Foreclosed Property in the name of and on behalf of the Trust Fund and the Companion Loan Holders, the Special Servicer shall be empowered, subject to the Code and to the specific requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement, to do any and all things in connection with the management and operation thereof in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, all on such terms as the Special Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders (as a collective whole, as if such Certificateholders and Companion Loan Holders constituted a single lender) and consistent with the REMIC Provisions.

 

(c)        Subject to the consent and consultation rights of the Controlling Class Representative, the Special Servicer shall accept the highest cash bid for the Foreclosed Property received from any Person.  However, in no event may such bid be less than an amount at least equal to the portion of the Repurchase Price attributable to the Foreclosed Property.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the absence of any such bid, the Special Servicer shall accept the highest cash bid, if the highest offeror is a Person other than the Trustee or an Interested Person, that the Special Servicer (or the Trustee as provided in the next sentence) determines is a fair price based on Appraisals obtained within the last nine (9) months.  If the highest bidder is an Interested Person, the Trustee shall determine the fairness of the highest bid by an Interested Person.  The Trustee may (at its option at the expense of the Trust Fund (unless such expenses are reimbursed with funds otherwise paid from amounts allocable to the Companion Loans pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement)) designate an Independent third party expert in real estate or commercial mortgage loan matters with at least five (5) years’ of experience in valuing or investing in loans similar to the Whole Loan, that has been selected with reasonable care by the Trustee to determine if such bid constitutes a fair price for the Foreclosed Property.  The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon any such third party determination, and all reasonable fees and costs of any Appraisals, inspection reports, and broker


 






     116


     


    

 


opinions of value incurred by any such third party shall be covered by, and be reimbursable from, the Trust (unless such expenses are reimbursed with funds otherwise paid from amounts allocable to the Companion Loans pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement).  Reimbursement of any such fees and costs shall be paid from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account allocable to the Notes on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis, pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.  If such amounts are reimbursed from amounts allocable to the Mortgage Loan, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, will be required, after receiving payment from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account allocable to the Mortgage Loan, if any, to (i) promptly notify the Companion Loan Holders and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to exercise on behalf of the Issuing Entity the rights of the Issuing Entity under the Intercreditor Agreement to obtain reimbursement for the portion of such amount allocable to the Companion Loans on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis.  The requirements of this Agreement and/or the Intercreditor Agreement may result in lower sales proceeds than would otherwise be the case.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer shall not be obligated to accept the higher cash offer if the Special Servicer determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders constituted a single lender), and the Special Servicer may accept a lower cash offer (from any Person other than an Interested Person) if it determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that acceptance of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders constituted a single lender).   Neither the Trustee nor any of its affiliates, in their individual capacity, may make an offer for or purchase Foreclosed Property. 

 

(d)        Subject to the provisions of Section 3.14, the Special Servicer shall act on behalf of the Trust Fund and the Companion Loan Holders in negotiating and taking any other action necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of the Foreclosed Property, including the collection of all amounts payable in connection therewith.  Any sale of the Foreclosed Property shall be without recourse to the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders (except that any contract of sale and assignment and conveyance documents may contain customary warranties, so long as the only recourse for breach thereof is to the Trust Fund) and if consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, none of the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer or the Special Servicer shall have any liability to any Certificateholder or any Companion Loan Holder with respect to the purchase price thereof accepted by the Special Servicer or the Trustee.

 

(e)        The proceeds of any sale effected pursuant to this Section 3.15, after deduction of the expenses incurred in connection therewith, shall be deposited in the Collection Account in accordance with Section 3.4(a).



 

(f)         Within 30 days of the sale of the Foreclosed Property, the Special Servicer shall provide to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Companion Loan Holders (or, to the extent a Companion Loan is included in an Other Securitization Trust, the Other Servicer, Other Special Servicer, Other Trustee and Other Certificate Administrator under the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement) a statement of accounting for the Foreclosed Property,


 






     117


     


    

 


including, without limitation, (i) the date the Foreclosed Property was acquired in foreclosure or by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, (ii) the date of disposition of the Foreclosed Property, (iii) the gross sale price and related selling and other expenses, (iv) accrued interest with respect to the Repurchase Price of the Foreclosed Property, calculated from the date of acquisition to the disposition date, and (v) such other information as the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator may reasonably request.

 

3.16.  Sale
of the Mortgage Loan and the Companion Loans.  (a)  (i) Within sixty (60) days after the occurrence of
a Special Servicing Loan Event, the Special Servicer shall order (but shall not be required to have received) an Appraisal. 
The Servicer shall promptly notify in writing the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Controlling Class Representative (during
any Subordinate Control Period or any Subordinate Consultation Period), the Risk Retention Consultation Party and the Companion
Loan Holders (or, to the extent a Companion Loan is included in an Other Securitization Trust, the Other Depositor, Other Servicer
and Other Certificate Administrator under the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement) of the occurrence of such Special
Servicing Loan Event.  Upon delivery by the Special Servicer of the notice described in the preceding sentence, the Special
Servicer may offer to sell to any Person the Whole Loan or may offer to purchase the Whole Loan, if and when the Special Servicer
determines, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, that no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent
payments thereon and such a sale would be in the best economic interests of the Trust and the Companion Loan Holders on a net
present value basis.  The Special Servicer shall provide the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Controlling Class
Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period or any Subordinate Consultation Period), the Risk Retention Consultation
Party and the Companion Loan Holders (or, to the extent a Companion Loan is included in an Other Securitization Trust, the Other
Depositor, Other Servicer and Other Certificate Administrator under the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement), not less
than five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to sell the Whole Loan, in which case the Special Servicer
is required to accept the highest offer received from any Person (other than any Interested Person) for the Whole Loan in an amount
at least equal to the Repurchase Price or, at its option, if it has received no offer at least equal to the Repurchase Price therefor,
the Special Servicer may purchase the Whole Loan at the Repurchase Price, subject to any consent or consultation rights of the
Controlling Class Representative to the extent set forth in this Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt the Special Servicer
shall be required to sell the Mortgage Loan together with the Companion Loans, as one whole loan.

 

(ii)    In the absence of any offer at least equal to the Repurchase Price (or purchase by the Special Servicer for the Repurchase Price), the Special Servicer shall accept the highest offer received from any Person that is determined by the Special Servicer to be a fair price for the Whole Loan, if the highest offeror is a Person other than an Interested Person.  If the highest bidder is an Interested Person, the Trustee shall determine the fairness of the highest bid based upon an Appraisal (which may be an Appraisal obtained in the last nine (9) months by the Special Servicer) obtained at the expense of the Trust Fund (unless such expense is reimbursed with funds otherwise paid from amounts allocable to the Companion Loans pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement), and the Trustee may conclusively rely on the opinion of such Appraisal and such determination shall be binding upon all parties.  All reasonable costs and fees of the Trustee in making such determination will be reimbursable to it first, by


 






     118


     


    

 


the Servicer as an Advance, subject to the Servicer’s determination that such amounts are not Nonrecoverable Advances, and then as an expense of the Trust (unless such expense is reimbursed with funds otherwise paid from amounts allocable to the Companion Loans pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement).  Neither the Trustee nor any of its affiliates, in their individual capacity, may make an offer for or purchase the Whole Loan.  In addition, if the Trustee shall be required to determine the fairness of the highest bid by an Interested Person, the Trustee may (at its option at the expense of the Trust Fund (unless such expense is reimbursed with funds otherwise paid from amounts allocable to the Companion Loan Holders pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement)) designate an Independent third party expert in real estate or commercial mortgage loan matters with at least five (5) years’ of experience in valuing or investing in loans similar to the Whole Loan, that has been selected with reasonable care by the Trustee to determine if such bid constitutes a fair price for the Whole Loan.  The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon any such third party determination, and all reasonable fees and costs of any Appraisals, inspection reports, and broker opinions of value incurred by any such third party shall be covered by, and be reimbursable from, the Trust (unless such expenses are reimbursed with funds otherwise paid from amounts allocable to the Companion Loans pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement).  Reimbursement of any such fees and costs shall be paid from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account allocable to the Notes on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis, pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.  If such amounts are reimbursed from amounts allocable to the Mortgage Loan, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, will be required, after receiving payment from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account allocable to the Mortgage Loan, if any, to (i) promptly notify the Companion Loan Holders and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to exercise on behalf of the Issuing Entity the rights of the Issuing Entity under the Intercreditor Agreement to obtain reimbursement for the portion of such amount allocable to the Companion Loans on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis.

 

(iii)   The Special Servicer shall not be obligated to accept the highest offer if the Special Servicer determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that the rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the Holders of the Certificates and the Companion Loan Holders (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders constituted a single lender).  In addition, the Special Servicer may accept a lower offer if it determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that the acceptance of such offer would be in the best interests of the Holders of the Certificates and the Companion Loan Holders (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders constituted a single lender), 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 efforts consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices to sell the Whole Loan prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date.

 

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

 

 



     119


     


    



 

(b)        The right of the Special Servicer to purchase or sell the Whole Loan after the occurrence of a Special Servicing Loan Event shall terminate, and shall not be exercisable as set forth in clause (a) above (or if exercised but the purchase of the Whole Loan has not yet occurred, the Special Servicer’s right shall terminate and such exercise shall be of no further force or effect) if the Whole Loan is no longer delinquent as a result of any of the following:  (i) the Special Servicing Loan Event has ceased to exist pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, (ii) the Whole Loan has become subject to a fully executed agreement reflecting the terms of the workout arrangement or (iii) the Whole Loan has otherwise been resolved (including by a full or discounted pay-off).

 

(c)        Any sale of the Whole Loan shall be for cash only.

 

(d)        Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Special Servicer shall not sell the Whole Loan pursuant to this Section 3.16 without the written consent of the Companion Loan Holders unless the Special Servicer has delivered to the Companion Loan Holders: (a) at least 15 Business Days prior written notice of any decision to attempt to sell the Whole Loan; (b) at least 10 days prior to the permitted sale date, a copy of each bid package (together with any amendments to such bid packages) received by the Special Servicer in connection with any such proposed sale; (c) at least 10 days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of the most recent Appraisal for the Whole Loan, and any documents in the Servicer Mortgage File reasonably requested by a Companion Loan Holder; and (d) until the sale is completed, and a reasonable period of time (but no less time than is afforded to other offerors) prior to the proposed sale date, all information and other documents being provided to other offerors and all leases or other documents that are approved by the Servicer or the Special Servicer in connection with the proposed sale.  Any Companion Loan Holder will be permitted to submit an offer at any sale of the Whole Loan.

 

3.17.  Servicing
Compensation.     The Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Master Servicing
Fee with respect to the Mortgage Loan and the Primary Servicing Fee with respect to the Whole Loan and any Foreclosed Property
payable monthly from the Collection Account or otherwise in accordance with and subject to Section 3.4(c).  The Servicer
shall be entitled to retain as compensation any late payment charges and certain other customary charges and fees to the extent
described below, as well as reimbursement for all other costs or expenses incurred by it in performing its duties hereunder, in
each case, to the extent actually received from the Borrower and permitted to be allocated to such amounts by the terms of the
Loan Documents, this Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement and subject in all cases to the rights of the Companion Loan Holders
to any such amounts as may be set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement, other than:  (i) fees of any sub-servicer and
the expenses of any sub-servicer that would not be reimbursable to Servicer if such expenses were incurred by the Servicer; (ii) the
cost of any fidelity bond or errors and omissions policy required by Section 3.11(d); (iii) overhead expenses
of the Servicer including but not limited to those which may properly be allocable under the Servicer’s accounting system
or otherwise to the Servicer’s activities under this Agreement or the income derived by it hereunder including the costs
to the Servicer associated with employees of the Servicer performing services in connection with the obligations of the Servicer
hereunder; and (iv) costs and expenses arising from the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Servicer in performing
its obligations hereunder (the “Servicer Customary Expenses”).  So
long as no Special Servicing Loan Event has occurred and is


 






     120


     


    

 


continuing and subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Servicer shall also be entitled to retain as additional servicing compensation any late payment fees and Default Interest (including any late payment fees and Default Interest collected after the occurrence of a Special Servicing Loan Event but accrued prior to such Special Servicing Loan Event) (to the extent not applied pursuant to Section 3.4(c)), assumption fees, assumption application fees, substitution fees, release fees (including, without limitation, any fees payable in connection with a defeasance), Modification Fees (subject to the second to last paragraph of this Section 3.17), loan service transaction fees, insufficient funds fees, charges for beneficiary statements to the extent the related beneficiary statement is prepared by the Servicer and consent fees and other similar fees and expenses to the extent, with respect to any such amounts, collected and allocated to such amounts as permitted by (or not otherwise prohibited by) the terms of the Loan Documents, this Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement; provided, that the Servicer shall not be entitled to apply or retain any Default Interest or any late payment charges, with respect to the Mortgage Loan or the Companion Loans, with respect to which a default thereunder or Event of Default is continuing unless and until such default or Event of Default has been cured and all delinquent amounts (including any Default Interest) due with respect to the Mortgage Loan or the Companion Loans have been paid in full and all interest on Advances has been paid in full.  In addition, the Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable and subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, shall be entitled to retain as additional servicing compensation release fees (including, without limitation, any fees payable in connection with a defeasance of the Whole Loan) and any income earned (net of losses to the extent provided in this Agreement) on the investment of funds deposited in the Collection Account and any Reserve Account (to the extent not payable to the Borrower) and the Foreclosed Property Account.

 

With respect to any fees as to which both the Servicer and the Special Servicer are entitled to receive a portion thereof, the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each have the right in its sole discretion, but not any obligation, to reduce or elect not to charge its respective portion of such fee; provided that (A) neither the Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall have the right to reduce or elect not to charge the portion of any such fee due to the other and (B) to the extent either the Servicer or the Special Servicer exercises its right to reduce or elect not to charge its respective portion in any such fee, the party that reduced or elected not to charge its respective portion of such fee shall not have any right to share in any part of the other party’s portion of such fee.  If the Servicer decides not to charge any fee, the Special Servicer shall nevertheless be entitled to charge its portion of the related fee to which the Special Servicer would have been entitled if the Servicer had charged a fee and the Servicer shall not be entitled to any of such fee charged by the Special Servicer.

 

If a Special Servicing Loan Event occurs and is continuing, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to receive a Special Servicing Fee with respect to the Mortgage Loan and the Companion Loans for so long as such Special Servicing Loan Event continues as well as reimbursement for all other costs or expenses incurred by it in performing its duties hereunder other than:  (i) the cost of any fidelity bond or errors and omissions policy required by Section 3.11(d); (ii) overhead expenses of the Special Servicer including but not limited to those which may properly be allocable under the Special Servicer’s accounting system or otherwise to the Special Servicer’s activities under this Agreement or the income derived by it hereunder including the costs to the Special Servicer associated with employees of the Special Servicer performing services in connection with the obligations of the Special Servicer hereunder; and


 






     121


     


    

 


(iii) costs and expenses arising from the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Special Servicer in performing its obligations hereunder (the “Special Servicer Customary Expenses”).  If at any time the Mortgage Loan or a Companion Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall use efforts consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices and the REMIC Provisions, to collect the amount of any Special Servicing Fee, Liquidation Fee and/or Workout Fee from the Borrower pursuant to the Designated Expense Reimbursement Section, including exercising all remedies available under the Loan Agreement that would be in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, specifically taking into account the costs or likelihood of success of any such collection efforts and the Non-Retained Certificate Realized Loss or Retained Certificate Realized Loss or related loss that would be incurred by Certificateholders or the Companion Loan Holders, as applicable, in connection therewith as opposed to the Non-Retained Certificate Realized Loss or Retained Certificate Realized Loss that would be incurred as a result of not collecting such amounts from the Borrower.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any amount received during a Collection Period, the Special Servicer shall only be entitled to receive a Workout Fee or a Liquidation Fee, but not both.

 

If a Special Servicing Loan Event is terminated following resolution of such Special Servicing Loan Event by a written agreement with the Borrower negotiated by the Special Servicer, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Work-out Fee.  If (i) the Controlling Class Representative sends notice to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.1(d), directing the Trustee to terminate the Special Servicer, or (ii) the Special Servicer resigns or has been terminated, and in each case of clauses (i) and (ii), prior or subsequent to such resignation or termination, either (A) the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or the related Property was liquidated or modified, as applicable, pursuant to an action plan submitted by the initial Special Servicer or (B) the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan was being monitored by the initial Special Servicer and the related Special Servicing Loan Event is terminated following resolution of such Special Servicing Loan Event by a written agreement with the Borrower negotiated by the initial Special Servicer, then in the case of either clause (A) or (B), the Special Servicer (and not the successor special servicer) shall be paid the related Work-out Fee or Liquidation Fee, as applicable.

 

The Special Servicing Fee and any Liquidation Fee payable from Liquidation Proceeds (and not the Borrower) shall be payable from funds on deposit in the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.4(c).  The Special Servicer during the continuance of a Special Servicing Loan Event shall also be entitled to retain as additional servicing compensation, solely to the extent such amounts are received from the Borrower, any late payment fees (to the extent not applied pursuant to Section 3.4(c)), Default Interest (to the extent not applied pursuant to Section 3.4(c)), assumption fees, assumption application fees, substitution fees, release fees (including, without any limitation, any fees in connection with a defeasance), Modification Fees (subject to the second to last paragraph of this Section 3.17), loan service transaction fees, insufficient funds fees, charges for beneficiary statements to the extent the related beneficiary statement is prepared by the Special Servicer and consent fees and other similar fees and expenses and any income earned (net of losses to the extent provided in this Agreement) on the investment of funds deposited in the Foreclosed Property Account.

 

 



     122


     


    



 

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, neither the Servicer nor the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement for an expense incurred under this Agreement or in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder unless (i) the amount of such payment to the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, is reimbursed to the Trust Fund by the Borrower (to the extent the Borrower is required to do so under the Loan Agreement); (ii) failure of the Borrower to reimburse for such payment constitutes an Event of Default; (iii) such expense would qualify as an “unanticipated expense incurred by the REMIC” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii) (it being understood that the Servicer Customary Expenses and the Special Servicer Customary Expenses are not unanticipated); or (iv) such reimbursement is expressly provided for herein or such expense is expressly described herein as an expense of the Trust Fund or as an Advance.

 

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of the Servicer’s right to receive all or any portion of the Servicing Fee (or the Special Servicer’s right to receive all or any portion of the Special Servicing Fee) or other servicing compensation provided for herein shall be made, and any such attempted transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition shall be void, unless such transfer is made to a successor Servicer or successor Special Servicer, as applicable, in connection with the assumption by such successor of the duties hereunder pursuant to Section 7.2 (or as provided in the following paragraph with respect to the Excess Servicing Fee).

 

KeyBank National Association and any successor holder of the Excess Servicing Fee Rights shall be entitled, at any time, at its own expense, to transfer, sell, pledge or otherwise assign such Excess Servicing Fee Rights in whole (but not in part), in either case, to any Qualified Institutional Buyer or Institutional Accredited Investor (other than a Plan); provided, that no such transfer, sale, pledge or other assignment shall be made unless (i) that transfer, sale, pledge or other assignment is exempt from the registration and/or qualification requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws and is otherwise made in accordance with the Securities Act and such state securities laws, (ii) the prospective transferor shall have delivered to the Depositor a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit T-1 attached hereto, and (iii) the prospective transferee shall have delivered to the Servicer and the Depositor a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit T-2 attached hereto.  None of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian shall have any obligation to register or qualify an Excess Servicing Fee Right under the Securities Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under this Agreement to permit the transfer, sale, pledge or assignment of an Excess Servicing Fee Right without registration or qualification.  KeyBank National Association and each holder of an Excess Servicing Fee Right desiring to effect a transfer, sale, pledge or other assignment of such Excess Servicing Fee Right shall, and KeyBank National Association hereby agrees, and each such holder of an Excess Servicing Fee Right by its acceptance of such Excess Servicing Fee Right shall be deemed to have agreed, in connection with any transfer of such Excess Servicing Fee Right effected by such Person, to indemnify the Certificateholders, the Trust, the Depositor, the Initial Purchaser, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Trustee, the Servicer and the Special Servicer against any liability that may result if such transfer is not exempt from registration and/or qualification under the Securities Act or other applicable federal and state securities laws or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws or in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this paragraph.  By its acceptance of an Excess Servicing Fee Right, the holder thereof shall be deemed to have agreed


 






     123


     


    

 


not to use or disclose such information in any manner that could result in a violation of any provision of the Securities Act or other applicable securities laws or that would require registration of such Excess Servicing Fee Right or any Certificate pursuant to the Securities Act.  From time to time following any transfer, sale, pledge or assignment of an Excess Servicing Fee Right, the Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan, Companion Loans or any successor Foreclosed Property with respect thereto to which the Excess Servicing Fee Right relates, shall pay, out of the Servicing Fee paid to the Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan, Companion Loans or any successor Foreclosed Property, as the case may be, the related Excess Servicing Fee to the holder of such Excess Servicing Fee Right within one Business Day following the payment of such Servicing Fee to the Servicer, in each case in accordance with payment instructions provided by such holder in writing to the Servicer.  The holder of an Excess Servicing Fee Right shall not have any rights under this Agreement except as set forth in the preceding sentences of this paragraph.  None of the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Depositor, the Special Servicer or the Trustee shall have any obligation whatsoever regarding payment of the Excess Servicing Fee or the assignment or transfer of the Excess Servicing Fee Right.

 

With respect to each Collection Period during which the Special Servicer or any of its Affiliates receives any Disclosable Special Servicer Fees, the Special Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Servicer on or prior to the related Determination Date, and the Servicer (if it has received such report from the Special Servicer) shall deliver such report to the Certificate Administrator without charge on or prior to the Remittance Date with respect to such Determination Date, an electronic report that discloses and contains an itemized listing of any Disclosable Special Servicer Fees received by the Special Servicer or any of its Affiliates during the related Collection Period.  The Special Servicer and its Affiliates shall be prohibited from receiving or retaining any Disclosable Special Servicer Fees.

 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each be entitled to 50% of any Modification Fees received in connection with the extension of the Maturity Date of the Mortgage Loan to which Special Servicer’s consent is required pursuant to clause (vii)(c) of the definition of Special Servicing Loan Event and (ii) the Servicer and Special Servicer shall each be entitled to 50% of any Modification Fees, assumption fees (excluding assumption application fees) or consent fees related to Major Decisions to the extent the Mortgage Loan is not a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan.

 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, KeyBank National Association may, at its option, assign or pledge to any third party or retain for itself the Excess Servicing Fee Rights; provided, that in the event of any resignation or termination of such Servicer, all or any portion of the Excess Servicing Fee Rights 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 servicer that meets the requirements of Section 6.4 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 Excess Servicing Fee Rights shall, by its terms be expressly subject to the terms of this Agreement and such reduction.  The Servicer shall pay the Excess Servicing Fee to the holder of the Excess Servicing Fee Rights at such time and to the extent the Servicer is entitled to receive payment of its Servicing Fees hereunder, notwithstanding any resignation or


 






     124


     


    

 


termination of KeyBank National Association as Servicer hereunder (subject to reduction pursuant to the preceding sentence).

Additionally, the Servicer shall deliver the CREFC® Operating Statement Analysis Report and CREFC® NOI Adjustment Worksheet on a monthly basis to the Certificate Administrator; provided, the Servicer shall have no obligation to update such reports except as set forth in the immediately preceding paragraphs, and no analysis or update shall be required to the extent such analysis or update is not required to be provided under the then-current applicable CREFC® guidelines.

 

For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent financial statements, rent rolls and other information prepared by the Borrower was prepared on a consolidated basis, each of the CREFC® reports to be delivered by the Servicer shall be prepared on a consolidated basis with

None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer, or the Special Servicer shall be responsible for the completeness or accuracy of such information (except that the Servicer shall use efforts consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices to correct patent errors).

At the election of the 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 Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator shall be permitted to require payment (other than from the Controlling Class Representative 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.

 

The failure of the Servicer, Special Servicer or Certificate Administrator or Trustee to provide access as provided in this Section 3.21 as a result of a confidentiality obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section 3.21.  In connection with providing information pursuant to this Section 3.21, such party may (i) affix a reasonable disclaimer to any information provided by it for which it is not the original source (without suggesting liability on the part of any other party hereto); (ii) affix to any information provided by it a reasonable statement regarding securities law restrictions on such information and/or condition access to information on (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 Servicer’s, Special Servicer’s or Certificate Administrator’s website; (iii) withhold access to confidential information or any intellectual property; and/or (iv) withhold access to items of information contained in the Servicer Mortgage File for the Whole Loan if the disclosure of such items is prohibited by applicable law or the provisions of any related Loan Documents or would constitute a waiver of the attorney-client privilege.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the failure of such party 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 such party determines, in its reasonable good faith judgment consistent with the applicable Accepted Servicing Practices, or in the Certificate Administrator’s or Trustee’s good faith judgment, that such disclosure would violate applicable law or any provision of a Loan Document prohibiting disclosure of information with respect to the Whole Loan or the Property, constitute a waiver of the attorney-client privilege on behalf of the Trust or otherwise materially harm the Trust.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the 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 the Whole Loan.

 

(b)        The Depositor hereby authorizes the Certificate Administrator to, and the Certificate Administrator shall, make available to BlackRock Financial Management, Markit, CMBS.com, Inc., Bloomberg, L.P., Trepp, LLC, Thomson Reuters Corporation, Moody’s Analytics, ICE Data Services and Intex Solutions, Inc. or such other vendor chosen by the Depositor that submits to the Certificate Administrator a certification in the form of Exhibit K-5 to this Agreement, all the Distribution Date Statements, CREFC® Reports and supplemental notices delivered or made available pursuant to Section 8.14(c) to Privileged Persons.

3.22. Inspections. 
The Servicer shall inspect or cause to be inspected the Property not less frequently than once each year commencing in 2021, so
long as a Special Servicing Loan Event is not then continuing; provided, that the Servicer shall not be required to inspect
the Property if it has been inspected by the Special Servicer in the preceding 12 months.  The Special Servicer shall inspect
or cause to be inspected the Property as applicable and as soon as practicable following the occurrence of a Special Servicing
Loan Event and annually thereafter so long as the Whole Loan is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan.  The Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as applicable, shall also inspect, or cause to be inspected, the Property whenever it receives information that
the Property has been damaged, left vacant, or abandoned, or if waste is being committed on the Property.  All such inspections
shall be performed in a manner consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices.  The cost of the annual inspections referred
to in the first sentence of this paragraph shall be an expense of the Servicer; the cost of all additional inspections referred
to in this paragraph shall be a Trust Fund Expense (unless such expense is required to be borne by the Companion Loans pursuant
to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement) and, if paid by the Servicer or Special Servicer, shall constitute a Property Protection
Advance.  Reimbursement of any such Property Protection Advance shall be paid from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account
allocable to the Notes, pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.  If such amounts are reimbursed from amounts
allocable to the Mortgage Loan, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, will be required, after receiving payment
from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account allocable to the Mortgage Loan, if any, to (i) promptly notify the Companion
Loan Holders and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to exercise on behalf of the Issuing Entity the rights of the Issuing
Entity under the Intercreditor Agreement to obtain reimbursement for the portion of such amount allocable to the Companion Loans
on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis.  The Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall prepare a written report
of inspection and deliver it to the Certificate Administrator and the Companion Loan Holders.  The Certificate Administrator
shall post such report on the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 8.14(b).

 

3.23.  
Advances.  (a)  If a Monthly Payment (or an Assumed Monthly Payment, as applicable) (other than the Balloon
Payment) or any portion of a Monthly Payment (or an Assumed Monthly Payment, as applicable) (other than any Balloon Payment) on
the Mortgage Loan has not been received by the close of the Business Day immediately prior to the Remittance Date (to the extent
such Monthly Payment or Assumed Monthly Payment would be allocable to the Mortgage Loan pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement),
the Servicer, subject to its determination that such amounts would not be Nonrecoverable Advances, shall make an advance to the
Certificate Administrator for deposit into the Distribution Account on such Remittance Date, in an amount equal to the Monthly
Payment or an Assumed Monthly Payment, as applicable, or any such portion of the Monthly Payment or an Assumed Monthly Payment,
as applicable, on such Mortgage Loan that was delinquent as of the close of the Business Day immediately prior to such Remittance
Date, in each case, net of the Servicing Fee (which will not be paid to the Servicer until the funds in the Collection Account
are available for payment of such fee).  The portion of any such Advance that is equal to any accrued and unpaid CREFC®
Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee shall not be deposited into the Distribution Account but shall instead be remitted
directly to CREFC® by the Servicer.  For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that the amount of interest
on the Mortgage Loan is reduced as a result of any modification to the Mortgage Loan, any future Monthly Payment Advance made
with respect to such modified Mortgage Loan shall be in such amounts as may be required as a result of such


 






     128


     


    

 


reduction.  Neither
the Servicer nor the Trustee shall be entitled to interest on any Monthly Payment Advance on the Mortgage Loan until the related
Loan Payment Date has passed and any grace period for late payments applicable to the Mortgage Loan has expired.  The Servicer
shall maintain a record of each Monthly Payment Advance it has made pursuant to this Section 3.23(a) on the Mortgage
Loan and shall notify the Certificate Administrator thereof in the appropriate CREFC® Reports in order to permit
allocation thereof pursuant to Sections 3.4 and 3.5.  In the event that the Servicer does not remit any
amounts required to be remitted to the Certificate Administrator on each Remittance Date (including any amounts required to be
remitted pursuant to Section 3.5 and any required Monthly Payment Advance) to the Certificate Administrator for deposit
in the Distribution Account on the Remittance Date, the Servicer shall pay to the Certificate Administrator interest on such amounts
at the federal funds rate for the period from and including the Remittance Date to but excluding the Distribution Date or, if
earlier, the actual remittance date.

  

The Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement for a Monthly Payment Advance (and interest thereon) and any Administrative Advance (and interest thereon) from any collections on the Whole Loan prior to any distributions to the Certificateholders or the Companion Loan Holders.

 

At any time that an Appraisal Reduction Amount exists, the amount that would otherwise be required to be advanced by the Servicer in respect of delinquent payments of interest on the Mortgage Loan shall be reduced by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the then outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan minus the applicable Appraisal Reduction Amount allocated to the Mortgage Loan and the denominator of which is the then outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan.

 

(b)        Subject to Section 3.23(e), the Servicer shall advance, to the extent it determines that such amount is recoverable, all customary and reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Servicer or the Special Servicer in the performance of its servicing obligations, including, but not limited, to the costs and expenses incurred in connection with (i) the preservation, restoration, operation and protection of the Property which, in the Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as applicable, sole discretion, exercised in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, are necessary to prevent an immediate or material loss to the Trust Fund’s interest in the Property, (ii) the payment of (A) real estate taxes, assessments and governmental charges that may be levied or assessed against the Borrower or any of its affiliates or the Property or revenues therefrom or which become liens on the Property, (B) insurance premiums and (C) the out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) to the extent not paid by the Borrower that are incurred in connection with assumption of the Whole Loan or a release of the Property securing the Whole Loan from the lien of the Mortgage, (iii) any enforcement or judicial proceedings, including foreclosures and including, but not limited to, court costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and costs for third-party experts, including appraisers and environmental and engineering consultants, and (iv) the management, operation and liquidation of the Property if the Property is acquired by the Special Servicer or its affiliate in the name of the Trustee on behalf of the Trust and the Companion Loan Holders (collectively, “Property Protection Advances”).  In addition, subject to Section 3.23(e), the Servicer shall advance, solely with respect to the Mortgage Loan for the benefit of the Certificateholders, to the


 






     129


     


    

 


extent it determines such amount is recoverable and to the extent required to be paid by the Borrower (but not so paid and such failure to pay would result in a shortfall in the amounts distributable to the Certificateholders), the amount of any Borrower Reimbursable Trust Fund Expenses that would be allocated to the Mortgage Loan pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement; provided, that in no event will Administrative Advances include advances for such amounts that are otherwise required to be advanced as Property Protection Advances (collectively, “Administrative Advances”).  During the continuation of a Special Servicing Loan Event, the Special Servicer shall give the Servicer and the Trustee not less than five Business Days’ written notice before the date on which the Servicer is requested to make any Property Protection Advance with respect to the Whole Loan or the Foreclosed Property; provided, that only three Business Days’ written notice shall be required in respect of Property Protection Advances required to be made on an urgent or emergency basis (which may include, without limitation, Property Protection Advances required to make tax or insurance payments).  In addition, the Special Servicer shall provide the Servicer with such information in its possession as the Servicer may reasonably request to enable the Servicer to determine whether a requested Property Protection Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. 

  

Any determination by the Servicer that a Property Protection Advance, if made, will be, or any Property Protection Advance previously made, is, a Nonrecoverable Advance, will be conclusive and binding on the holder of each Companion Loan (and related Other Servicer or Other Trustee).

 

With respect to a Property Protection Advance, the Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement from any collections on the Whole Loan prior to any distributions to the Certificateholders or the Companion Loan Holders; provided, that the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, will be required, after receiving payment from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account, if any, to (i) promptly notify the Companion Loan Holders and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to exercise on behalf of the Issuing Entity the rights of the Issuing Entity under the Intercreditor Agreement to obtain reimbursement for the portion of such amount allocable to the Companion Loans on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis.

 

(c)        To the extent the Servicer fails to make an Advance that it is required to make under this Agreement, the Trustee shall be required to make such Advance pursuant to Section 7.6.  It is understood that the obligation of the Servicer and the Trustee (pursuant to Section 7.6) to make such Advances is mandatory, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, and shall continue to apply after any modification or amendment of the Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.24 hereof, beyond the Maturity Date of the Mortgage Loan if a payment default shall have occurred on such date and through any court appointed stay period or similar payment delay resulting from any insolvency of the Borrower or related bankruptcy, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, other than the requirement of recoverability, and shall continue, subject to the requirement of recoverability, until the earlier of (i) the payment in full of the Mortgage Loan and (ii) the date on which the Property becomes liquidated.

 

(d)        Interest on each Advance made by the Servicer or the Trustee shall accrue for each day that such Advance is outstanding at a rate of interest equal to the Prime Rate (the “Advance Rate”) for each such day (or the most recent day on which the Prime Rate was


 






     130


     


    

 


reported, if not reported on such day) on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed in a month.  Interest on the Advances shall compound annually.

  

(e)        Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be obligated to make an Advance only to the extent that the Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, has determined that such Advance, together with any previous unreimbursed Advances and interest on all those Advances at the Advance Rate, would not constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance if made.  The Trustee and the Servicer, in that order, shall be entitled to reimbursement for any such Advances from the Collection Account (provided that, in the case of interest on Property Protection Advances, the Servicer shall, after receiving payment from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account, if any, promptly notify the Companion Loan Holders (or, to the extent that a Companion Loan is included in an Other Securitization Trust, the Other Servicer under the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement)) and shall obtain such reimbursement in accordance with Section 3.4(c).  If the context requires, each reference to the reimbursement or payment of an Advance shall be deemed to include, whether or not specifically referred to, payment or reimbursement of interest thereon at the Advance Rate through the date of payment or reimbursement.

 

(f)         The determination by the Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be evidenced by the delivery of an Officer’s Certificate to the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee (if such determination is made by the Servicer), the Controlling Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period and any Subordinate Consultation Period) and the Companion Loan Holders (or, to the extent that a Companion Loan is included in an Other Securitization Trust, the related Other Servicer and Other Trustee) detailing the reasons for such determination together with, to the extent such information, report or document is in the Servicer’s possession, and, if such information, reports or documents are used by the Servicer to determine that an Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, any related financial information such as related income and expense statements, rent rolls, occupancy status, property inspections and any Appraisals performed within the last twelve (12) months on the Property, any engineers’ reports, environmental surveys, internal final valuations or other information relevant thereto which support such determination.   The determination by the Special Servicer that an Advance is Nonrecoverable or that any proposed Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate to the Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Controlling Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period or Subordinate Consultation Period) and the Companion Loan Holders (or, to the extent that a Companion Loan is included in an Other Securitization Trust, the related Other Servicer and Other Trustee) detailing the reasons for such determination together with, to the extent such information, report or document is in the Special Servicer’s possession, and, if such information, reports or documents are used by the Special Servicer to determine that an Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, any related financial information such as related income and expense statements, rent rolls, occupancy status, property inspections and any Appraisals performed within the last twelve (12) months on the Property, any engineers’ reports, environmental surveys, internal final valuations or other information relevant thereto which support such determination.  Such Officer’s Certificate shall be made available to any Privileged Person by the Certificate Administrator posting such Officer’s Certificate to the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 8.14(b).  The


 






     131


     


    

 


Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to rely conclusively on the Special Servicer’s determination that an Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance.  The costs of any appraisals, reports or surveys and other information requested by the Servicer or the Trustee establishing an Advance as a Nonrecoverable Advance shall be treated as Trust Fund Expenses (unless such expenses are reimbursed with funds otherwise paid from amounts allocable to the Companion Loans pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement), payable from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.4(c), and shall constitute a Property Protection Advance if paid by the Servicer or the Trustee from its funds.  If such amounts are reimbursed from amounts allocable to the Mortgage Loan, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall, after receiving payment from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account allocable to the Mortgage Loan, if any, (i) promptly notify the Companion Loan Holders and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to exercise on behalf of the Issuing Entity the rights of the Issuing Entity under the Intercreditor Agreement to obtain reimbursement for the portion of such amount allocable to the Companion Loans on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis (including, if such amounts cannot be recovered from the Whole Loan, from general collections of the related Other Securitization Trust, if applicable).  The Servicer’s determination of nonrecoverability in accordance with the above provisions shall be conclusive and binding on the Trustee and the Certificateholders and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively thereupon.  In addition, if the Special Servicer determines that the Servicer or the Trustee has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Servicer and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively thereupon.  If the Special Servicer requests that the Servicer make an Advance, the Trustee and the Servicer may (but shall not be obligated to) conclusively rely on such request as evidence that such advance is not a Nonrecoverable Advance. The Trustee, in determining whether or not a proposed Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall make such determination in its good faith business judgment.

 

(g)        The Servicer and the Trustee are not obligated to advance (i) the Balloon Payment with respect to the Mortgage Loan (but are required to advance the Assumed Monthly Payment) or the Balloon Payment with respect to any Companion Loan, (ii) any Default Interest, (iii) amounts required to cure any damages resulting from Uninsured Causes (except as required pursuant to Section 3.12(c)), any failure of the Property to comply with any applicable law, including any environmental law, or (except in connection with the foreclosure or other acquisition of the Property in accordance with Section 3.12 upon the occurrence of an Event of Default) to investigate, test, monitor, contain, clean up, or remedy an environmental condition present at the Property, (iv) any losses arising with respect to defects in the title to the Property, (v) any costs of capital improvements to the Property other than those necessary to prevent an immediate or material loss to the Trust’s interest in the Property, (vi) any yield maintenance amounts or prepayment premiums, including any Yield Maintenance Premiums, (vii) any monthly payment advances of principal or interest with respect to the Companion Loans or (viii) any administrative advances with respect to the Companion Loans. 

 

(h)        Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Servicer and the Trustee shall each be entitled to make its own determination that a Monthly Payment Advance previously made with respect to the Mortgage Loan is a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed Monthly Payment Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance with respect to the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement,


 






     132


     


    

 


independently of any determination made by any Other Servicer or Other Trustee under any related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement in respect of a Companion Loan following the deposit of such Companion Loan into an Other Securitization Trust, and each Other Servicer and Other Trustee, as applicable, shall each make its own determination that a Monthly Payment Advance is or, if made, will be a Nonrecoverable Advance (both as defined in the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement) or that any proposed Monthly Payment Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance (both as defined in the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement) with respect to such Companion Loan, in accordance with the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  No determination by the Servicer or the Trustee that any such Monthly Payment Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance shall be binding on the Other Servicer or the Other Trustee or the holders of any Companion Loan Securities.  No determination by the Other Servicer or the Other Trustee that any Monthly Payment Advance (as defined in the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement) is nonrecoverable shall be binding on the Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificateholders.

 

If the Servicer determines that a Monthly Payment Advance would be (if made), or any outstanding Monthly Payment Advance previously made is, a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Servicer shall provide the Other Servicer written notice of such determination.  If the Servicer or Trustee receives written notice by the Other Servicer or the Other Trustee that it has determined, with respect to the Mortgage Loan, that any proposed future Monthly Payment Advance would be, or any outstanding Monthly Payment Advance is, a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to consult on a non-binding basis with the Other Servicer or the Other Trustee, as applicable, regarding the circumstances with respect to the Mortgage Loan, but the Servicer or Trustee, as applicable, shall be allowed to make its own recoverability determination.

 

Following a securitization of a Companion Loan, the Servicer shall be required to deliver to the related Other Servicer the following information in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement:  (i) any loan related information (in the form received), including without limitation CREFC® Reports relating to the Mortgage Loan, applicable to a determination that an Advance is or would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, on the same day such information is provided to the Certificate Administrator, (ii) notice of any Monthly Payment Advance, Property Protection Advance or Administrative Advance it or the Trustee makes with respect to the Mortgage Loan (in the case of any Monthly Payment Advance or Administrative Advance) or the Whole Loan (with respect to any Property Protection Advance) within two (2) Business Days of the making of such Advance and (iii) notice of any determination that any Monthly Payment Advance, Property Protection Advance or Administrative Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance within two (2) Business Days of the notice provided under Section 3.23(f) above.

 

3.24.   
Modifications of Loan Documents.  (a)  (i) The Servicer (if no Special Servicing Loan Event has occurred
and is continuing) or the Special Servicer (during the existence of a Special Servicing Loan Event) may, subject to the rights
of the Controlling Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period or Subordinate Consultation Period), modify, waive
or amend any term of the Mortgage Loan or the Companion Loans if such modification, waiver or amendment (A) is consistent
with Accepted Servicing Practices and (B) does not either (1) cause either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC
to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or (2) constitute a “significant modification” of the


 






     133


     


    

 


Mortgage Loan pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) (and the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may obtain and be entitled to rely upon an Opinion of Counsel in connection with such determination).  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event may the Servicer or the Special Servicer permit an extension of the Maturity Date beyond the date that is the earlier of (i) seven (7) years prior to the latest Rated Final Distribution Date and (ii) 20 years prior to the end of the term of the earliest terminating ground lease (including any extensions that are exercisable unilaterally at the option of the Borrower).

  

In connection with the taking of the Property or any portion thereof by exercise of the power of eminent domain or condemnation, if the Loan Documents require the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to calculate the loan-to-value ratio of the remaining Property or the fair market value of the real property constituting the remaining Property, for purposes of REMIC qualification of the Mortgage Loan, then, unless then permitted by the REMIC Provisions, such calculation shall exclude the value of personal property and going concern value, if any.

 

Additionally, the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, may grant a forbearance on the Mortgage Loan related to the global COVID-19 emergency if (i) prior to January 1, 2021, the period of forbearance granted, when added to any prior periods of forbearance granted before or after the Trust acquired the Mortgage Loan (whether or not such prior grants of forbearance were covered by Section 5.02(2) of Revenue Procedure 2020-26), does not exceed six months (or such longer period of time as may be allowed by guidance that is binding on federal income tax authorities) and such forbearance is otherwise covered by Section 5.02(2) of Revenue Procedure 2020-26, (ii) such forbearance is permitted under another provision of the TSA and the requirements under such provision are satisfied, or (iii) an opinion of counsel is delivered to the effect that such forbearance will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event.

 

(b)        All modifications, waivers or amendments of the Mortgage Loan or the Companion Loans shall be in writing and shall be effected in a manner consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, the REMIC Provisions and the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement.  The Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall notify the Servicer (if notice is from the Special Servicer), the Special Servicer (if such notice is from the Servicer), the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor and the Companion Loan Holders (or, to the extent that a Companion Loan is included in an Other Securitization Trust, the Other Depositor and Other Servicer under the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement), in writing, of any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of the Mortgage Loan or a Companion Loan and the date thereof, and shall deliver to the Certificate Administrator (or the Custodian on its behalf) an original recorded (if applicable) counterpart of the agreement relating to such modification, waiver or amendment within ten (10) Business Days following the execution (with a copy thereof to the Servicer) and, if applicable, within ten (10) Business Days of the recordation thereof (with a copy thereof to the Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Companion Loan Holders, as applicable).  If the Servicer or Special Servicer modifies the interest rate applicable to the Mortgage Loan or a Companion Loan, any adverse economic effect of the modification allocable to the Mortgage Loan shall be applied to the Certificates in reverse order of priority.  If the Mortgage Loan is modified, the Mortgage Rate shall not change for purposes of calculating distributions on the Certificates.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Servicer nor the


 






     134


     


    

 


Special Servicer shall modify the Mortgage Rate, the Maturity Date or the timing of payments on the Whole Loan (or any Note forming a part thereof) unless the Whole Loan is in default or default is reasonably foreseeable.

  

(c)        Any modification, extension, waiver or amendment of the payment terms of the Mortgage Loan and the Companion Loans will be required to be structured to be consistent with the allocation and payment priorities in the related Loan Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, such that neither the Trust as holder of the Mortgage Loan nor any Companion Loan Holder gains a priority over the other such holder that is not reflected in the related Loan Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement.  Neither the Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall enter into, or structure (including, without limitation, by way of the application of credits, discounts, forgiveness or otherwise), any modification, waiver, amendment, work-out, consent or approval with respect to the Whole Loan in a manner that would be inconsistent with the allocation and payment priorities set forth in Section 1.3 of this Agreement or in the Intercreditor Agreement.  Any modification, waiver or amendment with respect to a Companion Loan may be subject to the consent of the related Companion Loan Holder(s) and the Special Servicer as described pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement.

 

(d)        Subject to Section 3.26, any modification of the Loan Documents that requires a Rating Agency Confirmation (including a Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation) pursuant to the Loan Documents, or any modification that would eliminate, modify or alter the requirement of obtaining such Rating Agency Confirmation (or Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation) in the Loan Documents, shall not be made without the Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as applicable, first receipt of such Rating Agency Confirmation (or Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation).  Such Rating Agency Confirmation shall be obtained at the Borrower’s expense in accordance with the Loan Agreement or, if not so provided in the Loan Agreement or if the Borrower does not pay, at the expense of the Trust Fund.

 

(e)        Subject to Section 3.26, prior to implementing any of the actions or decisions contemplated by clauses (vi)-(x) of the definition of “Major Decision” or the assumption of the Whole Loan by a “Qualified Transferee” (as defined in the Loan Agreement) pursuant to Section 7.1(b)(iv) of the Loan Agreement, the Servicer or the Special Servicer shall obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such action or decision.  In addition: (i) upon the execution of any assumption agreement, or any amendment, termination or other modification of any ground lease or condominium documentation related to the Property, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall notify the Rating Agencies of the completion of such action; and (ii) with respect to any incurrence of mezzanine financing by any beneficial owner of the Borrower, to the extent that the lender has consent rights pursuant to the Loan Documents (for purposes of the determination whether the lender has such consent rights pursuant to the Loan Documents, any provision in the Loan Documents that requires that an intercreditor agreement be reasonably or otherwise acceptable to the lender will constitute such consent rights)), the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall not consent to such mezzanine financing unless the related intercreditor agreement is in compliance with Moody’s published criteria in the paper, dated October 19, 2018, entitled “Mezzanine loan intercreditor agreements have evolved, to mixed credit reviews” for remaining “credit neutral”.

 

 



     135


     


    



 

(f)         Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer and Special Servicer (if a Special Servicing Loan Event is continuing) may, if in accordance with the Accepted Servicing Practices (but without any Rating Agency Confirmation or consent of the Controlling Class Representative), grant the Mortgage Loan Borrower’s request for consent to subject the Property to an easement, right-of-way or similar agreement for utilities, access, parking, public improvements or another similar purpose and may consent to subordination of the Mortgage Loan or a Companion Loan to such easement, right-of-way or similar agreement.

 

(g)        If the Mortgage Loan permits release of the Property through defeasance:

 

(i)         If the Mortgage Loan requires that the Mortgage Loan Lender purchase the required government securities, then the Servicer shall purchase, or shall cause the purchase of, such obligations on behalf of the Trust, at the Borrower’s expense, in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Loan; provided, that the Servicer shall not accept the amounts paid by the Borrower to effect defeasance until acceptable government securities have been identified;

 

(ii)        To the extent not inconsistent with the Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall require the Borrower to provide an Opinion of Counsel (which shall be an expense of the Borrower) to the effect that the Trustee has a first priority perfected security interest in the defeasance collateral (including the government securities) and the assignment of the defeasance collateral is valid and enforceable;

 

(iii)       To the extent not inconsistent with the Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall require a certificate at the Borrower’s expense from an Independent certified public accountant certifying to the effect that the government securities will provide cash flows sufficient to meet all payments of interest and principal (including payments at maturity) on the Mortgage Loan in compliance with the requirements of the terms of the related Loan Documents;

 

(iv)       Prior to permitting release of the Property through defeasance, the Servicer shall require an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such release will not cause either the Lower Tier REMIC or the Upper Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding or cause a tax to be imposed on the Trust Fund under the REMIC Provisions; provided, that to the extent not inconsistent with the Mortgage Loan, the Borrower shall pay the cost related to the Opinion of Counsel (and shall otherwise be a Property Protection Advance);

 

(v)        No defeasance shall occur on or prior to the second anniversary of the startup date of any REMIC established in connection with the last securitization involving any Note;

 

(vi)       The Servicer shall, at the expense of the Borrower (to the extent not inconsistent with the related Loan Documents), cause the U.S. government securities to be held for the benefit of the Certificateholders, and apply payments of principal and interest received on the government obligations in respect of the defeased Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents;

 

 



     136


     


    



 

(vii)      The Servicer shall, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, enforce any provisions in the Mortgage Loan requiring the Borrower to pay all reasonable expenses associated with a defeasance;

 

(viii)      To the extent not inconsistent with the Mortgage Loan, or to the extent the Loan Documents provide the Mortgage Loan Lender with discretion, the Servicer shall require a single purpose entity, formed solely for the purpose of owning and pledging the government securities related to the Mortgage Loan, to act as a successor borrower;

 

(ix)       To the extent not inconsistent with the Mortgage Loan, each Rating Agency must provide a Rating Agency Confirmation; and

 

(x)        To the extent not required or permitted to be placed in a separate account, the Servicer shall deposit all payments received by it from defeasance collateral substituted for the Property into the Collection Account and treat any such payments as payments made on the Mortgage Loan in advance of its Loan Payment Date in accordance with clause (i) of the definition of Regular Principal Distribution Amount, and not as a prepayment of the Mortgage Loan.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Servicer permit such amounts to be maintained in the Collection Account for a period in excess of 365 days.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not permit the substitution of the Property pursuant to the defeasance provisions of the Mortgage Loan (or any portion thereof), if any, unless such defeasance complies with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii) and satisfies the conditions set forth in this Section 3.24(g).  In addition, notwithstanding anything herein or in the Loan Documents to the contrary, the Servicer may permit the substitution of direct, non-callable “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, or any other securities that comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii) (including U.S. government agency securities if such securities are eligible defeasance collateral under then current guidelines of the Rating Agencies) for the Property pursuant to the defeasance provisions of the Mortgage Loan (or any portion thereof) in lieu of the defeasance collateral specified in the Loan Documents; provided that, the Servicer receives an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the Borrower to the extent permitted under the Loan Documents) to the effect that such use would not be and would not constitute a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) and would not otherwise endanger the status of the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC as a REMIC or result in the imposition of a tax upon the Lower-Tier REMIC, the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Trust Fund (including but not limited to the tax on “prohibited transactions” as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code, but not including the tax on “net income from foreclosure property”).

 

3.25.  Servicer
and Special Servicer May Own Certificates.  The Servicer, the Special Servicer and any agent thereof in its individual
or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates with the same rights it would have if it were not the Servicer,
the Special Servicer or such agent except as otherwise provided herein subject to the restrictions on voting set forth in the
definition of Certificateholder.

 





     137


     


    

 

 

3.26.  
Rating Agency Confirmations; Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations.  (a)  Notwithstanding the terms
of any Loan Documents or other provisions of this Agreement, if any action under any Loan Documents or this Agreement requires
a Rating Agency Confirmation as a condition precedent to such action, if the party (the “Requesting
Party”) attempting to obtain such Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency has made a request to any
such Rating Agency for such Rating Agency Confirmation and, within 10 Business Days of the Rating Agency Confirmation request
being posted to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website, and such Rating Agency has not replied to such request or has
responded in a manner that indicates that such Rating Agency is neither reviewing such request nor waiving the requirement for
a Rating Agency Confirmation, then such Requesting Party shall be required (without providing notice to the 17g-5 Information
Provider) to (i) confirm that the applicable Rating Agency has received the Rating Agency Confirmation request, and, if it
has not, promptly request the related Rating Agency Confirmation again and (ii) if there is no response to either Rating
Agency Confirmation request within 5 Business Days of such confirmation or such second request (after seeking to confirm that
the applicable Rating Agency received such second Rating Agency Confirmation request), as applicable, then (x) with respect
to any condition in the Loan Documents requiring a Rating Agency Confirmation or any other matter under this Agreement relating
to the servicing of the Mortgage Loan or the Whole Loan (other than as set forth in clause (y) below), the Requesting Party
(or, if the Requesting Party is the Borrower, then the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable) will be required to determine,
in accordance with its duties under this Agreement and in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, whether or not such action
would be in the best interest of Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders, and if the Requesting Party (or, if the Requesting
Party is the Borrower, then the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable) determines that such action would be in the best
interest of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders, then the requirement for a Rating Agency Confirmation shall
not apply, for such agency and such matter at such time (provided, that with respect to defeasance, any Rating Agency Confirmation
requirement that the Servicer or Special Servicer would have been permitted to waive pursuant to this Agreement will not apply
without any such determination by the Requesting Party (or the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable) (it being understood
that the Requesting Party (or the Servicer, or the Special Servicer, as applicable) will in any event review the conditions required
under the Loan Documents with respect to such defeasance and confirm to its satisfaction in accordance with the Accepted Servicing
Practices that such conditions (other than the requirement for a Rating Agency Confirmation) have been satisfied)), and (y) with
respect to a replacement of the Servicer or Special Servicer, such condition will not apply if such replacement Servicer or Special
Servicer is a Qualified Servicer (provided, that such Servicer or Special Servicer shall be required to certify to the
parties hereto as to its status as a Qualified Servicer).  For all other matters or actions (a) not specifically discussed
above in clauses (x) or (y) or (b) that are not the subject of a Rating Agency Declination, the applicable Requesting
Party shall be required to obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies.

 

(b)        Any Rating Agency Confirmation requests made by the Servicer, Special Servicer, Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement, shall be made in writing (an email shall be sufficient as a writing), which writing shall contain a cover page indicating the nature of the Rating Agency Confirmation request, and shall contain all back-up material the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, deems necessary for the Rating Agency to process such request.  Subject to


 






     138


     


    

 


Section 12.18, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, shall furnish such written Rating Agency Confirmation to the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post the same to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website).

 

(c)        Each Certificateholder, by its acceptance of the Certificates, acknowledges and agrees to the foregoing with respect to Rating Agency Confirmations.

 

(d)        Promptly following the Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s determination to take any action discussed in this Section 3.26 following any requirement to obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation being considered satisfied, the Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, 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 post such notice on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 12.18 of this Agreement.

 

(e)        Notwithstanding the terms of the related Loan Documents, the other provisions of this Agreement or the Intercreditor Agreement, with respect to the Companion Loans as to which there exists Companion Loan Securities, if any action relating to the servicing and administration of the Whole Loan or any Foreclosed Property (the “Relevant Action”), including, without limitation, the termination, resignation and/or replacement of the Servicer or Special Servicer, requires delivery of a Rating Agency Confirmation as a condition precedent to such action pursuant to this Agreement, then, except as set forth below in this paragraph, such action will also require delivery of a Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation as a condition precedent to such action from each Companion Loan Rating Agency.  Each Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation shall be sought by the party that is seeking the corresponding Rating Agency Confirmation(s) in connection with the Relevant Action.  The requirement to obtain a Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to any Companion Loan Securities will be subject to, will be permitted to be waived by the Servicer and the Special Servicer on, and will be deemed not to apply on, the same terms and conditions applicable to obtaining Rating Agency Confirmations, as set forth in this Agreement; provided, that the party that is seeking the subject Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation, shall forward to the Other Servicer and the Other Special Servicer, as applicable, the 17g-5 Information Provider’s counterpart, or such other party or parties (as are agreed to by the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and the applicable parties for the related Other Securitization Trust), at the expense of the Other Securitization Trust to the extent not borne by the Borrower, and in such format as the sender and recipient may reasonably agree, (i) the request for such Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation at the same time (or prior to the time) that it is sent to the applicable Companion Loan Rating Agency, (ii) all materials forwarded to the 17g-5 Information Provider under this Agreement in connection with seeking the Rating Agency Confirmation(s) for the applicable Relevant Action at approximately the same time that such materials are forwarded to the 17g-5 Information Provider, and (iii) any other materials that the applicable Companion Loan Rating Agency may reasonably request in connection with such Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation promptly following such request.

  

(f)         The Certificate Administrator shall, promptly following the written request from the Servicer or the Special Servicer, provide to the Servicer or the Special Servicer,


 






     139


     


    

 


as applicable, the contact information for the related Other Servicer, Other Special Servicer, Other Certificate Administrator, Other Trustee any other 17g-5 information provider for the Other Securitization Trust related to a Companion Loan, solely to the extent actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Certificate Administrator.

 

(g)        To the extent the Loan Documents permit the incurrence of a PACE Loan, the Servicer and Special Servicer, prior to permitting the incurrence of such PACE Loan, shall receive a Rating Agency Confirmation in accordance with Section 3.26(a) and approval of the Controlling Class Representative if required pursuant to Section 9.3.  The Servicer and Special Servicer, as applicable, shall take all reasonable actions to collect all expenses accrued in connection with such request for a Rating Agency Confirmation from the Borrower on behalf of the Trust Fund.

 

3.27.  
Other Asset Representations Reviewer.  If a Companion Loan becomes the subject of an Asset Review pursuant to an Other
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Custodian shall reasonably cooperate
with the related Other Asset Representations Reviewer or any other party to the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement
in connection with such Asset Review by providing such Other Asset Representations Reviewer or such other requesting party any
documents reasonably requested by such Other Asset Representations Reviewer or such other requesting party, but only to the extent
such documents are in the possession of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Custodian, as the case may be.

provided, that to the extent any Retained Certificate Available Funds remain in the Distribution Account after applying amounts as set forth in clauses (i) – (iii) above, any such amounts so remaining shall be disbursed to the Holders of the Class R Certificates (in respect of the Class UT-R Interest).

 

(c)        On each Distribution Date, each Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interest shall be deemed to receive distributions in respect of principal or reimbursement of Non-Retained Certificate Realized Losses or Retained Certificate Realized Losses, as applicable, in an amount equal to the amount of principal or reimbursement of Non-Retained Certificate Realized Losses or Retained Certificate Realized Losses, as applicable, actually distributable to its respective Related Certificates as provided in Sections 4.1(a), 4.1(b) and 4.1(h).  On each Distribution Date, each Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interest shall be deemed to receive distributions in respect of interest in an amount equal to the Interest Distribution Amount or Retained Certificate Interest Distribution Amount, as applicable, in respect of the Class of Related Certificates.  Amounts distributable pursuant to this paragraph and any Yield Maintenance Premium distributed pursuant to Section 4.3(b) are referred to herein collectively as the “Lower-Tier Distribution Amount”, and shall be deemed to be made by the Certificate Administrator by being deemed to deposit such Lower-Tier Distribution Amount into the Upper-Tier Distribution Account on each Distribution Date.

 

As of any date, the principal balance of each Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interest shall equal its Lower-Tier Principal Amount.  The Pass-Through Rate with respect to each Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interest shall be the rate per annum set forth in the Introductory Statement hereto.

 

Any amount that remains in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account on each Distribution Date after distribution of the Lower-Tier Distribution Amount shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class R Certificates (in respect of the Class LT-R Interest, but only to the extent of the amount remaining in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account, if any).

 

Distributions to the Class R Certificateholders (in respect of the Class LT-R Interest) from the Lower-Tier Distribution Account and to the Class R Certificateholders (in respect of the Class UT-R Interest) and to other Certificateholders from the Upper-Tier Distribution Account on each Distribution Date shall be made by the Certificate Administrator to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date (other than as provided in Section 11.1 in respect of the final distribution), by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor; provided that the Certificate Administrator has received appropriate wire transfer instructions therefrom, or by check by first class mail to the address set


 






     142


     


    

 


forth therefor in the Certificate Register if wiring instructions have not been received at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Distribution Date.



 

(d)        All amounts distributable to a Class of Certificates pursuant to this Section 4.1 on each Distribution Date shall be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates in each such Class based on their respective Percentage Interests.  Such distributions shall be made on each Distribution Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor provided that the Certificate Administrator has received appropriate wire transfer instructions therefrom, or by check by first class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register if wiring instructions have not been received at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Distribution Date.  The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the location specified by the Certificate Administrator in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

 

(e)        The Certificate Administrator shall, as soon as reasonably possible after notice thereof by the Servicer to the Certificate Administrator that the final distribution with respect to any Class of Certificates is expected to be made, mail to each Holder of such Class of Certificates on such date a notice to the effect that:

 

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

 

(ii)         if such final distribution is made on such Distribution Date, no interest shall accrue on such Certificate from and after the Interest Accrual Period related to such Distribution Date.

 

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


 






     143


     


    

 


amounts distributable to the Holders thereof for the benefit of such Holders until the earlier of (i) its termination as Certificate Administrator hereunder and the transfer of such amounts to a successor Certificate Administrator and (ii) the termination of the Trust Fund, at which time all unclaimed funds shall be distributed, subject to applicable escheatment law, to the Depositor.  No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust hereunder or by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with this Section 4.1(f).  Any such amounts transferred to the Certificate Administrator will remain uninvested.  In the event the Certificate Administrator is permitted or required to invest any amounts in Permitted Investments under this Agreement in the event of its assumption of the duties of, or becoming the successor to, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, it shall invest such amounts in Permitted Investments under clause (i) of the definition of Permitted Investments.

  

(g)        Subject to the following sentence, the Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for the calculations with respect to distributions from the Trust so long as the Trust Fund has not been terminated in accordance with this Agreement; provided, that the Certificate Administrator shall have no duty to recompile, recalculate or verify the accuracy of information provided to it by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.18(a) and, in the absence of manifest error in such information, may conclusively rely upon it.

 

(h)        On each Distribution Date, Non-Retained Certificate Realized Losses with respect to the Mortgage Loan shall be allocated to and applied as a reduction of the Certificate Balance of each Class of Sequential Pay Certificates in the following order:  first, to the Class D Certificates; second, to the Class C Certificates, third, to the Class B Certificates; and fourth, to the Class A Certificates, in each case to reduce the Certificate Balance of that Class of Certificates, until the Certificate Balance of such Class or Classes has been reduced to zero.  On each Distribution Date, Retained Certificate Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loan will be allocated to the RR Interest to reduce the Certificate Balance thereof until such Certificate Balance has been reduced to zero.

 

Allocations of Applied Realized Loss Amounts or Retained Certificate Realized Losses, as applicable, to any Class of Sequential Pay Certificates or the RR Interest shall be deemed to result in a corresponding reduction of the Lower-Tier Principal Amount of the Related Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interest.

 

To the extent any Non-Retained Certificate Realized Losses are subsequently recovered, the amount of such recovery shall be reimbursed to the applicable Certificateholders in the following order:  first, to the Class A Certificates, second, to the Class B Certificates, third, to the Class C Certificates, and fourth, to the Class D Certificates (and the Related Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests), in each case up to the amount of unreimbursed Applied Realized Loss Amounts, if any, that have been allocated to such Class of Certificates.  To the extent any Retained Certificate Realized Losses are subsequently recovered, the amount of such recovery will be reimbursed with respect to the RR Interest in accordance with the payment priorities set forth in Section 4.1(b).

 





     144


     


    

 

4.2.   
Withholding Tax.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall comply
with all federal withholding requirements with respect to payments to Certificateholders or payees that the Certificate Administrator
reasonably believes are applicable under the Code.  The consent of Certificateholders or payees shall not be required for
any such withholding, and each Certificateholder or payee shall be deemed by the acceptance of its Certificate to agree to provide
the Certificate Administrator information relating to such Certificateholder or payee solely to the extent necessary for the Certificate
Administrator to determine any required withholding amounts.  In the event the Certificate Administrator withholds any amount
from interest payments or advances thereof to any Certificateholder or payee pursuant to federal withholding requirements, amounts
so withheld shall be treated as having been entirely distributed to such Certificateholder or payee, and the Certificate Administrator
shall indicate the amount withheld to such Certificateholder or payee through a report.

 

For the avoidance of doubt, the Collection Account and the Lower-Tier Distribution Account (including interest, if any, earned on the investment of funds in such accounts) will be owned by the Lower-Tier REMIC, and the Upper-Tier Distribution Account (including interest, if any, earned on the investment of funds such account) and the Interest Reserve Account, will be owned by the Upper-Tier REMIC, each for federal income tax purposes.

 

4.3.  
Allocation and Distribution of Yield Maintenance Premiums. Any Yield Maintenance Premiums collected with respect to
prepayments of the Mortgage Loan during any particular Collection Period shall be distributed by the Certificate Administrator
on the following Distribution Date as follows:

 

(a)        The respective Classes of Sequential Pay Certificates then entitled to distributions of principal for such Distribution Date and the RR Interest shall be entitled to, and the Certificate Administrator shall distribute (i) to each Class of Sequential Pay Certificates, in an amount equal to the product of (A) the Non-Retained Percentage of such Yield Maintenance Premium and (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount distributed as principal to that Class on that Distribution Date, and the denominator of which is the total amount distributed as principal to all Classes of Sequential Pay Certificates on that Distribution Date; and (ii) to the RR Interest, in an amount equal to the Required Credit Risk Retention Percentage of such Yield Maintenance Premium.

 

(b)        All Yield Maintenance Premiums distributable pursuant to Section 4.3(a) shall first be deemed to have been distributed from the Lower-Tier REMIC to the Upper-Tier REMIC in respect of the Related Uncertificated Interest (whether or not the Lower-Tier Principal Amount of such Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interest has been reduced to zero). 

 

(c)        Yield Maintenance Premiums shall first be allocated to the Whole Loan pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and any such amount allocable to the Companion Loans pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall be distributed to the Companion Loan Holders in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.

Upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, at its office designated in Section 5.7 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 Global Certificate equal to the beneficial interest in the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate or Regulation S Global Certificate to be exchanged, such instructions to contain information regarding the participant account with the Depository to be credited with such increase, (2) with respect to a transfer of an interest in the Regulation S Global Certificate, information regarding the participant account of the Depository to be debited with such decrease and (3) with respect to a transfer of an interest in the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate (but not the Regulation S Global Certificate) for an interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate, a certificate in the form of Exhibit E hereto given by the holder of such beneficial interest and stating that the entity transferring such interest in the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate reasonably believes that the Person acquiring such interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate is a QIB and is obtaining such beneficial interest in a


 






     157


     


    

 


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 Global Certificate or Regulation S Global Certificate and to increase, or cause to be increased, the Certificate Balance of the Rule 144A Global Certificate by the aggregate Certificate Balance of the beneficial interest in the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate or Regulation S Global Certificate to be exchanged, and the Certificate Registrar shall instruct the Depository, concurrently with such reduction, to credit, or cause to be credited, to the account of the Person specified in such instructions, a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate equal to the reduction in the Certificate Balance of the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate or Regulation S Global Certificate and to debit, or cause to be debited, from the account of the entity making such transfer the beneficial interest in the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate or Regulation S Global Certificate that is being transferred.

  

(f)         Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate to Regulation S Global Certificate.  Interests in a Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate as to which the Certificate Registrar has received from Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, a certificate (a “Non-U.S. Beneficial Ownership Certification”) to the effect that Euroclear or Clearstream, as applicable, has received a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto from the holder of a beneficial interest in such Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate, shall be exchanged after the Restricted Period, for interests in the Regulation S Global Certificate of the same Class.  The Certificate Registrar shall effect such exchange by delivering to the Depository for credit to the respective accounts of such holders, a duly executed and authenticated Regulation S Global Certificate, representing the aggregate Certificate Balance of interests in the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate initially exchanged for interests in the Regulation S Global Certificate.  The delivery to the Certificate Registrar by Euroclear or Clearstream of the certificate or certificates referred to above may be relied upon by the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar as conclusive evidence that the certificate or certificates referred to therein has or have been delivered to Euroclear or Clearstream pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate.  Upon any exchange of interests in the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate for interests in the Regulation S Global Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall endorse the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate to reflect the reduction in the Certificate Balance represented thereby by the amount so exchanged and shall endorse the Regulation S Global Certificate to reflect the corresponding increase in the amount represented thereby.  Until so exchanged in full and except as provided therein, the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate, and the Certificates evidenced thereby, shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as the Regulation S Global Certificate and Rule 144A Global Certificate authenticated and delivered hereunder.

 

(g)        Non-Book Entry Certificate to Global Certificate.  If a Holder of a Non-Book Entry Certificate (other than (a) a Class R Certificate or (b) the RR Interest during the RR Interest Transfer Restriction Period or the European Transfer Restriction Period) wishes at any time to exchange its interest in such Non-Book Entry Certificate for an interest in a Global 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 Global 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 Global Certificate of the same Class.  Upon


 






     158


     


    

 


receipt by the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, at its office designated in Section 5.7 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 Global 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 G hereto (in the event that the applicable Global Certificate is the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate), in the form of Exhibit H hereto (in the event that the applicable Global Certificate is the Regulation S Global Certificate) or in the form of Exhibit I hereto (in the event that the applicable Global Certificate is the Rule 144A Global 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 Global 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 Global Certificate equal to the Certificate Balance of the portion of the Non-Book Entry Certificate so canceled.

 

(h)        Non-Book Entry Certificates on Initial Issuance Only.  Subject to the issuance of Definitive Certificates, if and when permitted by Section 5.2(d), and subject to the issuance and transfer of the RR Interest during the RR Interest Transfer Restriction Period in accordance with Section 5.3(i), no Non-Book Entry Certificate shall be issued to a transferee of an interest in any Rule 144A Global Certificate, Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate or Regulation S Global Certificate (or any portion thereof).

 

(i)         Transfers of RR Interest.  At all times, if a Transfer of the RR Interest after the Closing Date is to be made, then the following documents shall be provided to the Certificate Administrator, which shall facilitate the transfer in conjunction with the Certificate Registrar and shall refuse to register such transfer unless it receives (and, upon receipt, may conclusively rely upon) (i) a certification from such Certificateholder’s prospective Transferee substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J-3, which such certification must be countersigned by the Retaining Sponsor, (ii) a certification executed by the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J-4, which such certification must be countersigned by the Retaining Sponsor, (iii) an IRS Form W-9 completed by the prospective transferee and (iv) wire instructions and contact information of the prospective transferee. In addition to the foregoing, for so long as the RR Interest is held in the Retained Interest Safekeeping Account, in order to effectuate a transfer of the RR Interest, the RR Interest holder must provide the Certificate Administrator written instructions requesting such transfer, with the consent of the Retaining Sponsor and the Depositor. Upon receipt of the foregoing certifications, the Certificate Registrar shall, subject to Section 5.2(e) and Section 5.3(a), reflect such RR Interest in the name of the prospective Transferee.  For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the RR Interest be held as a Book-Entry Certificate during the RR Interest Transfer Restriction Period or the European Transfer Restriction Period. If the RR Interest is no longer held in the Retained Interest Safekeeping Account, the Certificate Registrar shall refuse to register and transfer the RR Interest unless it receives (and upon receipt may


 






     159


     


    

 


conclusively rely upon) certificates substantially in the forms of Exhibit J-3 and Exhibit J-4 hereto, provided, that following the expiration of the RR Interest Transfer Restriction Period and the European Transfer Restriction Period, the countersignature of the Retaining Sponsor to such certifications shall not be required.

  

(j)         Other Exchanges.  In the event that a Global Certificate is exchanged for a Definitive Certificate, such Certificates may be exchanged only in accordance with such procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions of clauses (c) through (f) 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.

 

(k)        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 Global Certificate to U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S) shall be limited to transfers made pursuant to the provisions of clause (e) above.

 

(l)         Restrictive Legend.  If 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 Certificates so issued shall bear the restrictive legend, or such legend shall not be removed, as the case may be, unless there is delivered to the Certificate Registrar such satisfactory evidence, which may include an Opinion of Counsel that neither such legend nor the restrictions on transfer set forth therein are required to ensure that transfers thereof comply with the provisions of Rule 144A or Regulation S under the Act.  Upon provision of such satisfactory evidence, the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver Certificates that do not bear such legend.

 

(m)       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.

 

(n)        Except as provided in this Section 5.3(n), no ERISA Restricted Certificate may be purchased by or transferred to any prospective purchaser or transferee that is or will be an employee benefit plan or other plan subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (each, an “ERISA Plan”) or a governmental plan (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA) that is subject to any federal, state or local law that is, to a material extent, similar to the foregoing provisions of ERISA or the Code (“Similar Law”) (together with ERISA Plans, “Plans”), or any Person acting on behalf of any such Plan or using the assets of a Plan to purchase such ERISA Restricted Certificate.  Each purchaser of an ERISA Restricted Certificate shall represent and warrant (or, if it takes delivery of an ERISA Restricted Certificate in the form of a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate, shall be deemed to have represented and warranted) that it is not a Plan and is not acting on behalf of or using the assets of a Plan to purchase the ERISA Restricted Certificate.  Each prospective transferee of an ERISA Restricted Certificate shall deliver to the transferor, the Certificate Registrar and the Certificate Administrator a representation letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit J-5, 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


 






     160


     


    

 


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.

  

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

 

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

 

(ii)       No Residual Ownership Interest may be Transferred, and no such Transfer shall be registered in the Certificate Register, without the express written consent of the Certificate Registrar, and the Certificate Registrar shall not recognize the Transfer, and such proposed Transfer shall not be effective, without such consent with respect thereto.  In connection with any proposed Transfer of any Residual Ownership Interest, other than in connection with the initial Transfer thereof to the Initial Purchaser, the Certificate Registrar shall, as a condition to such consent, (x) require the proposed transferee to deliver, and the proposed transferee shall deliver to the Certificate Registrar and to the proposed transferor, an affidavit in substantially the form attached as Exhibit J-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. Person, (5) the proposed transferee will not transfer the Residual Ownership Interest to any Person that does not provide a Transferee Affidavit or as to which the proposed transferee has actual knowledge that such Person is not a Permitted Transferee or is acting as an agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) for a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, and (6) the proposed transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and to abide by the provisions of this Section 5.3(o) and (y) other than in connection with the initial issuance of a Class R Certificate, require a statement from the proposed transferor substantially in the form attached as Exhibit J-2 (the “Transferor Letter”), that the proposed transferor has no


 






     161


     


    

 


actual knowledge that the proposed transferee is not a Permitted Transferee and has no actual knowledge or reason to know that the proposed transferee’s statements in the preceding clauses (x)(B)(1), (3) and (4) 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, that the Certificate Registrar shall not be required to conduct any independent investigation to determine whether a proposed transferee is a Permitted Transferee.  Upon notice to the Certificate Registrar that there has occurred a Transfer to any Person that is a Disqualified Organization or an agent thereof (including a broker, nominee or middleman) in contravention of the foregoing restrictions, and in any event not later than 60 days after a request for information from the transferor of such Residual Ownership Interest or such agent, the Certificate Registrar and the Certificate Administrator agree to furnish to the IRS and the transferor of such Residual Ownership Interest or such agent such information necessary to the application of Section 860E(e) of the Code as may be required by the Code, including, but not limited to, the present value of the total anticipated excess inclusions with respect to such Class R Certificate (or portion thereof) for periods after such Transfer.  At the election of the Certificate Registrar, the Certificate Registrar may charge a reasonable fee for computing and furnishing such information to the transferor or to such agent referred to above; provided, that such Persons shall in no event be excused from furnishing such information.

 

(iv)    The Class R Certificates may only be issued as Definitive Certificates, and transferred to and owned by QIBs.

 

5.4.   
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 Fund.  In connection with the issuance
of any new Certificate under this Section 5.4, the Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Certificate Registrar) connected therewith and such evidence as
may be reasonably requested by it to establish the identity and or signatures of the transferor and transferee.  Any replacement
Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 5.4 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in
the Trust Fund, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.

 

5.5.  Persons
Deemed Owners.  The Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar,
and any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such


 






     162


     


    

 


Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in this Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of any of them shall be affected by any notice to the contrary; provided, that to the extent that a party to this Agreement responsible for distributing any report, statement or other information required to be distributed to Certificateholders has been provided an Investor Certification, such party to this Agreement shall distribute such report, statement or other information to such beneficial owner (or prospective transferee).

 

5.6.  
Access to List of Certificateholders’ Names and Addresses; Special Notices.  The Certificate Registrar shall
maintain in as current form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of the
Certificateholders.  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 such Certificateholder proposes to transmit, then the Certificate Registrar
shall, within ten Business Days after the receipt of such request, afford such Certificateholder access during normal business
hours to a current list of the Certificateholders.  Every Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Certificate, agrees
that the Certificate Registrar shall not be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the list
of the Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the source from which such information was derived.  The Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Depositor shall be entitled to a list of the names and addresses of Certificateholders from
time to time upon request therefor.

 

Upon the written request of any Certificateholder that (a) has provided an Investor Certification, (b) states that such Certificateholder desires the Certificate Administrator to transmit a notice to all Certificateholders stating that such Certificateholder wishes to be contacted by other Certificateholders, setting forth the relevant contact information and briefly stating the reason for the requested contact (a “Special Notice”) and (c) provides a copy of the Special Notice which such Certificateholder proposes to transmit, the Certificate Administrator shall post such Special Notice to the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 8.14(b) and shall mail such Special Notice to all Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing on the Certificate Register.  The costs and expenses of the Certificate Administrator associated with delivering any such Special Notice shall be borne by the party requesting such Special Notice.  Every Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Certificate, agrees that neither the Certificate Administrator nor the Certificate Registrar shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such Special Notice to Certificateholders, regardless of the information set forth in such Special Notice.

 

5.7.   
Maintenance of Office or Agency.  The Certificate Registrar shall maintain or cause to be maintained an office or
offices or agency or agencies where Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices
and demands to or upon the Certificate Registrar in respect of the Certificates and this Agreement may be served.  The Certificate
Registrar initially designates its office at Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, 600 South 4th Street, 7th Floor, MAC: N9300-070,
Minneapolis, Minnesota 55479, Attention: Certificate Transfer Services (CMBS) – MSC 2020-CNP as its office for such


 






     163


     


    

 


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

Any Person into which the Servicer or the Special Servicer may be merged or consolidated, as applicable, or any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all of the business (or, if applicable, the portion of its business germane to this securitization) of the Servicer or the Special Servicer (which, in the case of the Servicer or the Special Servicer may be limited to all or substantially all of its assets relating to acting as a servicer for commercial mortgage backed securitization transactions), as applicable, shall be the successor of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder, and shall be deemed to have assumed all of the liabilities and obligations of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, that (except if the successor or surviving Person is the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be) each of the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee has received a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such successor or surviving Person.

 

6.3.  Limitation
on Liability of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer and Others.  (a)  None of the Depositor,
the Servicer or the Special Servicer or any of their respective directors, officers, members, managers, partners, employees, Affiliates
or agents shall be under any liability to the Trust, the Certificateholders or the Companion Loan Holders for any action taken
or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, actions taken or not taken at the direction
of Certificateholders or the Companion Loan Holders, or for errors in judgment; provided, that this provision shall not
protect the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer or any such other person against any breach of warranties or representations
made herein or any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in the
performance of its duties or by reason of negligent disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder.  The Depositor, the
Servicer, the Special Servicer and any of their respective directors, officers, employees, members, managers, partners, Affiliates

officers, members, managers, partners, employees, agents, Affiliates or other “controlling persons” within the meaning
of the Act (“Controlling Persons”), shall be


 






     164


     


    

 


indemnified by the Trust (in
accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.4(c)) and held harmless against any loss, liability, claim,
demand or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and any expenses incurred in connection with

action or other claims, losses, penalties, fines, foreclosures, judgments or liabilities relating to this Agreement, the Intercreditor

shall be otherwise reimbursable and reimbursed pursuant to this Agreement), other than any loss, liability or expense incurred
by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence by it in the performance of its duties hereunder or by reason of its
negligent disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder.  None of the Depositor, the Servicer or the Special Servicer
shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action which is not incidental to its respective duties
under this Agreement and which in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided, that the Depositor,
the Servicer or the Special Servicer may, in its discretion, undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable
in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices in respect of this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and
the interests of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders hereunder.  In such event, the legal expenses and
costs of such action and any liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the Depositor, the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be
entitled to be reimbursed therefor pursuant to Section 3.4(c) from funds on deposit in the Collection Account from
amounts allocated to the Notes on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis.

 

With respect to a Companion Loan, the expenses, costs and liabilities described in the above paragraph that are allocable to such Companion Loan pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall be paid out of amounts allocated to such Companion Loan in accordance with the expense allocation provision of the Intercreditor Agreement.  If such amounts relating to a Companion Loan are insufficient, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall, after receiving payment from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account with respect to the Mortgage Loan, if any, (i) promptly notify the Companion Loan Holders and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to exercise on behalf of the Trust the rights of the Trust under the Intercreditor Agreement to obtain reimbursement for the portion of such amount allocable to the Companion Loans on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis.

 

(b)        The Depositor shall not be obligated to monitor or supervise the performance of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator under this Agreement.  The Depositor may, but shall not be obligated to, enforce the obligations of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator under this Agreement.

 

(c)        In no event shall the Depositor be obligated to cause any party to perform or comply with the obligations to remit the CREFC® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee to CREFC®, to report any such CREFC® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee so paid or to make available any Distribution Date Statement to any party (or in particular, CREFC®).

6.4.  Servicer
and Special Servicer Not to Resign.  (a)  Each of the Servicer and Special Servicer may resign and assign its
respective rights and delegate its duties and obligations under this Agreement to any Person or to an entity, provided
that:

 

(i)     the Person accepting such assignment and delegation (A) shall be an established mortgage finance institution, bank or mortgage servicing institution having a net worth of not less than $25,000,000, organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or of any state of the United States or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to perform the duties of the Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, (B) shall execute and deliver to the Trustee an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, which contains an assumption by such Person of the performance and observance of each covenant and condition to be performed or observed by the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, under this Agreement from and after the date of such agreement; provided, that to the extent such agreement modifies in any respect any of the covenants, terms or conditions in this Agreement to be performed by the Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, such agreement shall be subject to the approval of the Trustee, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, (C) shall make such representations and warranties of the Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, as provided in Section 2.6, (D) (x) during any Subordinate Control Period, with respect to the Special Servicer, is reasonably acceptable to the Controlling Class Representative, (y) during any Subordinate Consultation Period, with respect to the Special Servicer, is reasonably acceptable to the Controlling Class Representative, and (z) is reasonably acceptable to the Depositor and the Trustee, in each case such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed;

 

(ii)    Rating Agency Confirmation has been received (or the requirements of Section 3.26 with respect to a Rating Agency Confirmation are otherwise satisfied);

 

(iii)   the Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall not be released from its obligations under this Agreement that arose prior to the effective date of such assignment and delegation under this Section 6.4(a);

 

(iv)   the rate at which the Servicing Fee or Special Servicing Fee, as applicable (or any component thereof) is calculated shall not exceed the rate then in effect; and

 

(v)    the Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall reimburse the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Trust, and the Rating Agencies for any expenses of such assignment, sale or transfer.

 

Upon satisfaction of the foregoing requirements and acceptance of such assignment, such Person shall be the successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder. 

 





     166


     


    

 

 

(b)        Subject to the provisions of Sections 6.2 and 6.4(a), none of the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall resign from its obligations and duties hereby imposed on it, except upon determination that performance of its duties hereunder is no longer permissible under applicable law or are in material conflict by reason of applicable law with any other activities carried on by it.  Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Depositor and the Trustee.  No resignation by the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, under this Agreement shall become effective until a successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, under this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.2.    In connection with any such resignation, the successor special servicer shall be appointed by the Trustee, and otherwise satisfy the requirements for a successor special servicer set forth in Section 6.4(a)(i); provided that in either case the Trustee shall have obtained a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency.  Notwithstanding the previous sentence, each of the Servicer or Special Servicer may assign its duties and obligations under this Agreement under certain limited circumstances as described herein.

(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 Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and such decree or order has remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of sixty (60) days; provided, that, with respect to any such decree or order that cannot be discharged, dismissed or stayed within such sixty (60) day period, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as appropriate, will have an additional period of thirty (30) days to effect such discharge, dismissal or stay so long as it has commenced proceedings to have such decree or order dismissed, discharged or stayed within the initial sixty (60) day period and has diligently pursued, and is continuing to pursue, such discharge, dismissal or stay;

(ix)       if and for so long as a Companion Loan is included in an Other Securitization Trust that is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, or any primary servicer, Sub-Servicer or Servicing Function Participant (such entity, the “Sub-Servicing Entity”) retained by the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall fail to deliver the items required to be delivered by this Agreement (including any applicable grace periods) to enable such Other Securitization Trust to comply with its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act (any Sub-Servicing Entity that defaults in accordance with this clause (ix) shall be terminated at the direction of the Depositor) or, in the case of such failure by a Sub-Servicing Entity, the failure of the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable to terminate such Sub-Servicing Entity for such failure; provided, that the Depositor may waive any


 






     169


     


    

 


such Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event, as applicable, under this clause (ix) in its sole discretion without the consent of the Trustee or any Certificateholders.

 

(b)        Upon written notice or receipt by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee of actual knowledge of the occurrence of any Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event, unless such Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event has been cured or waived, the Trustee shall promptly notify the Certificate Administrator in writing. The Certificate Administrator shall, upon receipt of such notice, (i) provide written notice to the Depositor and post notice of the same upon its receipt thereof on the Certificate Administrator’s Website; (ii) provide written notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website) pursuant to Section 12.18; and (iii) provide notice thereof to all Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders by mail to the addresses set forth on the Certificate Register or, in the case of the Companion Loan Holders, otherwise provided to the Certificate Administrator.  For avoidance of doubt, (i) the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event with respect to the Servicer shall not cause there to have occurred a Special Servicer Termination Event with respect to the Special Servicer unless the relevant event also constitutes a Special Servicer Termination Event and (ii) the occurrence of a Special Servicer Termination Event with respect to the Special Servicer shall not cause there to have occurred a Servicer Termination Event with respect to the Servicer unless the relevant event also constitutes a Servicer Termination Event. 

 

(c)        If a Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event shall occur then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event shall not have been remedied, either (i) the Trustee may, or (ii) upon the written direction of Holders of Certificates having at least 25% of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of the Appraisal Reduction Amount and Collateral Deficiency Amounts allocated to the Mortgage Loan and allocated to the Non-Retained Certificates to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances of the Certificates) of the Certificates, or if affected thereby (and solely with respect to a termination of the Special Servicer), by any Companion Loan Holder, the Trustee shall terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, under this Agreement, other than rights and obligations accrued prior to such termination, and in and to the Mortgage Loan or the Whole Loan and the proceeds thereof by notice in writing to the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if a Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event, as applicable, under clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (viii) and/or (ix) of Section 7.1(a) only has an adverse effect on a Companion Loan, a Companion Loan Holder or a rating on any Companion Loan Securities, but has no adverse effect on the Mortgage Loan, the Certificateholders or a rating on any of the Certificates, then (A) the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall not be terminated by the Trustee pursuant to clause (i) above of this sentence or upon the written direction of the Holders of Certificates pursuant to clause (ii) above of this sentence, but (B) (x) with respect to a Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event under clause (ix) of Section 7.1(a), the related Other Depositor or (y) with respect to a Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event under clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and/or (viii) of Section 7.1(a), the related affected Companion Loan Holder, shall be able to require termination of the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, pursuant to clause (ii) above of this sentence.  Upon any termination of the Servicer


 






     170


     


    

 


or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and appointment of a successor to the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, the Trustee shall notify the Servicer or the Special Servicer, to the extent it is not the party being terminated, and the Certificate Administrator who shall post to the Certificate Administrator’s Website such written notice thereof, and forward the same to the Depositor, the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders and, comply with giving notice to the Rating Agencies pursuant to Section 12.18.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Depositor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to notify the Trustee of any Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event of which the Depositor becomes aware.

 

(d)        Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Servicer affects only a Companion Loan, any holder thereof or the rating on a class of Companion Loan Securities, then the Servicer may not be terminated at the direction of the Holders of any Certificates (acting in such capacity); however, the related Companion Loan Holder may direct the Trustee to direct the Servicer to appoint a sub-servicer (or if the Whole Loan is currently being sub-serviced, then such Companion Loan Holder may direct the Trustee to direct the Servicer to replace such sub-servicer with a new sub-servicer but only if such original sub-servicer is in default (beyond any applicable cure periods) under the related sub-servicing agreement, and the Servicer may terminate the sub-servicing agreement due to such default) that will be responsible for servicing the Whole Loan.

 

(e)        During any Subordinate Control Period, the Controlling Class Representative shall have the right to direct the Trustee to terminate the Special Servicer (subject to such terminated Special Servicer’s rights to indemnification, payment of outstanding fees, and other rights set forth in this Agreement which survive termination) at any time, with or without cause, and the Controlling Class Representative shall have the right to, and shall, appoint a successor Special Servicer who shall execute and deliver to the other parties hereto an agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, whereby the successor Special Servicer agrees to assume and perform punctually the duties of the Special Servicer specified in this Agreement; provided that the Trustee (who shall provide it to the Certificate Administrator) shall have received a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency prior to the termination of the Special Servicer.  The Special Servicer shall not be terminated pursuant to this paragraph until a successor Special Servicer shall have been appointed.  All costs and expenses of any such removal made by the Controlling Class Representative without cause shall be paid by the Holders of the Controlling Class.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no successor Special Servicer appointed by the Controlling Class Representative pursuant to Section 6.4 or 7.1(c) or this Section 7.1(e) or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement will be required to meet any net worth requirements.

 

(f)        
If the Special Servicer becomes a Borrower Party, the Special Servicer shall resign at its own expense. If such resignation
occurs during a Subordinate Control Period or Subordinate Consultation Period, the Controlling Class Representative (so long
as it is not also a Borrower Party) shall be entitled to appoint a successor Special Servicer that is not a Borrower
Party.  If such Controlling Class Representative is a Borrower Party, then the largest Holder of the Controlling Class,
by Certificate Balance, that is not a Borrower Party shall be entitled to appoint a successor Special Servicer that is not
also a Borrower Party.  If each such Holder of the 


 






     171


     


    

 


Controlling Class is also a Borrower Party, then the successor Special Servicer shall be appointed in accordance with the provisions in the next paragraph.

 

Other than during a Subordinate Control Period or Subordinate Consultation Period (or under the circumstances described in the last sentence of the preceding paragraph), in connection with any resignation by the Special Servicer because it is a Borrower Party, at the expense of the resigning Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, upon receipt of a written notice from the Special Servicer, shall promptly provide written notice of such pending resignation to all Certificateholders by posting the Special Servicer’s notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website.  Following such notice, a successor Special Servicer that is not also a Borrower Party may be appointed upon the written direction of more than 50% of the Voting Rights of the Certificates that exercise their right to vote (provided that Holders of at least 20% of the Voting Rights of the Certificates exercise their right to vote). If a successor Special Servicer that is not a Borrower Party has not been appointed pursuant to the preceding sentence within thirty (30) days after the Special Servicer provides its written notice of resignation, the Certificate Administrator shall provide written notice to the resigning Special Servicer that an Independent successor Special Servicer has not been appointed, and the resigning Special Servicer shall appoint a successor Special Servicer that is not a Borrower Party.

 

If any party referred to in the two preceding paragraphs is entitled (but not required) to appoint the successor Special Servicer but does not so appoint within thirty (30) days, the resigning Special Servicer shall be required to appoint a successor Special Servicer that is not a Borrower Party.

 

(g)        At any time other than during a Subordinate Control Period, upon (i) the written direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights allocable to the Sequential Pay Certificates and the RR Interest (taking into account Non-Retained Certificate Realized Losses and Retained Certificate Realized Losses, principal payments and the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount allocated to the Mortgage Loan to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances of the Certificates) requesting a vote to terminate and replace the Special Servicer with a proposed successor Special Servicer meeting the requirements of Section 6.4(a)(i), (ii) payment by such Holders to the Certificate Administrator of the reasonable fees and expenses (including any legal fees and any Rating Agency fees and expenses) to be incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with administering such vote, (iii) delivery by such holders to the certificate administrator (if any) and the trustee for each Other Securitization Trust (with a copy to the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee) of a Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to the appointment of such new special servicer (which Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations shall be obtained at the expense of such holders) and (iv) delivery by such Certificateholders to the Certificate Administrator of a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to the appointment of such new special servicer (which Rating Agency Confirmations shall be obtained at the expense of those Holders requesting such vote), the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice thereof to all Certificateholders by posting such notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 8.14(b) and by mailing at their addresses appearing in the Certificate Register and shall conduct the solicitation of votes of all Certificates in such regard.  Upon the written direction of (x) Holders of Sequential Pay Certificates or the RR Interest evidencing at least 75% of a


 






     172


     


    

 


Certificateholder Quorum or (y) Holders of Non-Reduced Certificates evidencing more than 50% of the Voting Rights allocable to each Class of Non-Reduced Certificates, the Trustee shall terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement by written notice to the Special Servicer and appoint the successor Special Servicer designated by such Certificateholders; provided, that if such written direction is not provided within 180 days of the notice from the Certificate Administrator of the request for a vote to terminate and replace the Special Servicer, then such written direction shall have no force and effect.  Upon any such termination of the Special Servicer and appointment of a successor to the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator shall, as soon as possible, post written notice of such event on the Certificate Administrator’s Website and give written notice of such termination and appointment to the Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificateholders, the Companion Loan Holders and the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website).  The Certificateholders that initiated the vote to replace the Special Servicer shall pay the costs and expenses incurred in connection with the removal and replacement of the Special Servicer pursuant to this paragraph.  The Certificate Administrator shall include on each Distribution Date Statement a statement that each Certificateholder may access such notices on the Certificate Administrator’s Website and that each Certificateholder may register to receive email notifications when such notices are posted thereon. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to reimbursement from the requesting Certificateholders or the Companion Loan Holders for the reasonable expenses of posting notices of such requests.  The Special Servicer shall not be terminated pursuant to this paragraph until a successor Special Servicer shall have been appointed. 

  

(h)        Any termination of the Special Servicer under this Section 7.1 and appointment of a successor special servicer shall not be effective until (i) the delivery of a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and a Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation from each Companion Loan Rating Agency to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, (ii) the assumption by the successor special servicer of all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Special Servicer under this Agreement pursuant to a writing reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator and (iii) receipt by the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator of an opinion of counsel 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 and (z) this Agreement will be enforceable against such replacement in accordance with its terms.

  

(i)         In the event that the Servicer or Special Servicer is terminated pursuant to this Section 7.1, the Trustee (the “Terminating Party”) shall, by notice in writing to the Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be (the “Terminated Party”) (with a copy to the Borrower), terminate all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loan and the Companion Loans and the proceeds thereof, other than any rights the Terminated Party may have hereunder as a Certificateholder and any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination (including the right to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement with respect to periods prior to the date of such termination (including, to the extent described in Section 3.17, any Liquidation Fee or Workout Fees relating to a written agreement entered into by the Terminated Party prior to the earlier of (i) notice from the Controlling Class Representative under Section 7.1(e) directing the Trustee to terminate the Special Servicer, or (ii) termination) and the right to the benefits of Section 6.3 notwithstanding


 






     173


     


    

 


any such termination).  On or after the receipt by the Terminated Party of such written notice, subject to the foregoing, all of its authority and power under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates (except that the Terminated Party shall retain its rights as a Certificateholder in the event and to the extent that it is a Certificateholder) or the Whole Loan or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Terminating Party pursuant to and under this Section (absent the appointment of a successor, and such successor’s assumption of obligations hereunder) and the Terminated Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Terminating Party to execute and deliver, on behalf of and at the expense of the Terminated Party, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the servicing rights with respect to the Mortgage Loan and related documents, or otherwise; provided, that if the Terminated Party fails to reasonably cooperate in executing such power of attorney, then the Terminating Party, without limitation, is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of and at the expense of the Terminated Party, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the servicing rights with respect to the Mortgage Loan and related documents, or otherwise.  The Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, each agrees that, in the event it is terminated pursuant to this Section 7.1, or resigns under Section 6.4(b), to promptly (and in any event no later than ten Business Days subsequent to such notice) provide, at its own expense, the Terminating Party (which term shall include for the purposes of the remainder of this Section 7.1(i), the Trustee (or a successor Servicer or Special Servicer) in connection with a resignation of the Servicer or the Special Servicer under Section 6.4(b)) with all documents and records requested by the Terminating Party to enable the Terminating Party to assume its functions hereunder, and to cooperate with the Terminating Party and the successor to its responsibilities hereunder in effecting the termination of its responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, or the Terminating Party, as applicable, for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be or should have been credited by the Terminated Party (which term shall include, for the purposes of the remainder of this Section 7.1(i), the resigning party in connection with a resignation of the Servicer or the Special Servicer under Section 6.4(b)) to the Collection Account, any Foreclosed Property Account or shall thereafter be received with respect to the Whole Loan, and shall promptly provide the Terminating Party or such successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable (which may include the Trustee), as applicable, all documents and records reasonably requested by it, such documents and records to be provided in such form as the Terminating Party or such successor Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall reasonably request (including electronic form), to enable it to assume the function of the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder.  All reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Terminating Party or the successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, incurred in connection with transferring the Mortgage File to the Terminating Party or to the successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, and amending this Agreement to reflect such succession pursuant to this Section 7.1 shall be paid by the Terminated Party upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses.  If the Terminated Party has not reimbursed the Terminating Party or such successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, for such expenses within 90 days after the presentation of reasonable documentation, such


 






     174


     


    

 


expense shall be reimbursed by the Trust pursuant to Section 3.4(c); provided that the Terminated Party shall not thereby be relieved of its liability for such expenses.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Special Servicer is terminated by the Controlling Class Representative without cause pursuant to Section 7.1(e), all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred or payable by the terminated Special Servicer under this Section 7.1 shall be paid by the Holders of the Controlling Class.

 

(j)         Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Depositor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to notify the Trustee of any Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event of which the Depositor becomes aware.  In no event shall the Trustee be deemed to have knowledge of or be aware of any Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has received written notice thereof or has actual knowledge thereof.

 

7.2.  Trustee
to Act; Appointment of Successor.  On and after the time the Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, receives
a notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.1, or resigns pursuant to Section 6.4(b), the Terminating
Party (which term shall include, for the purposes of the remainder of this Section 7.2, the Trustee (or a successor
Servicer or Special Servicer including a successor appointed under Section 6.4(a)) in connection with a resignation
of the Servicer or the Special Servicer under Section 6.4(b)) shall, unless prohibited by law, be the successor to
the Terminated Party (which term shall include, for the purposes of the remainder of this Section 7.2, the resigning
party in connection with a resignation of the Servicer of the Special Servicer under Section 6.4(b)) in all respects
under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and, except as provided herein, shall be subject to
all the responsibilities, duties, limitations on liability and liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter placed on the
Terminated Party by the terms and provisions hereof; provided, that (i) neither the Trustee nor the Terminating Party
(nor any successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be) shall have any responsibilities, duties, liabilities or obligations
with respect to any act or omission of the Terminated Party and (ii) any failure to perform, or delay in performing, such
duties or responsibilities caused by the Terminated Party’s failure to provide, or delay in providing, records, tapes,
disks, information or monies or failure to cooperate as required by this Agreement shall not be considered a default by the Terminating
Party or such successor hereunder.  The Trustee, as successor Servicer or Special Servicer, and any other successor Servicer
or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall be indemnified to the full extent provided to the Trustee under this Agreement. 
The appointment of a successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall not affect any liability of the Terminated
Party that may have arisen prior to its termination as such.  The Terminating Party shall not be liable for any of the representations
and warranties of the Terminated Party herein or in any related document or agreement, for any acts or omissions of the Terminated
Party or for any losses incurred in respect of any Permitted Investment by the Terminated Party nor shall the Terminating Party
or any successor Servicer or Special Servicer be required to purchase the Mortgage Loan hereunder.  None of the Terminating
Party, the Trustee or the successor Servicer or successor Special Servicer will be responsible for delays attributable to Terminated
Party’s failure to deliver information, defects in the information supplied by the Terminated Party or other circumstances
beyond the control of the Terminating Party, the Trustee or the successor Servicer. The Terminating Party (or any successor Servicer
or Special Servicer) will make arrangements with the Terminated Party for the prompt and safe transfer of, and the Terminated


 






     175


     


    

 


Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide to the successor Servicer and Special Servicer, all necessary servicing
files and records on the close of business on the day immediately preceding the assumption of the servicing or special servicing
by the successor Servicer or Special Servicer (but in any event such necessary servicing files and records shall be provided by
the close of business on the 5th Business Day following the assumption of the servicing or special servicing by the
successor Servicer or Special Servicer).  None of the Trustee, the Terminating Party, the successor Servicer or the Special
Servicer shall have any responsibility nor shall any of them be in default hereunder or incur any liability for any failure, error,
malfunction or any delay in carrying out any of its duties under this Agreement if any such failure or delay results from the
Trustee, the Terminating Party, successor Servicer or successor Special Servicer acting in accordance with information prepared
or supplied by any other Person or the failure of any such Person to prepare or provide such information. None of the Trustee,
the Terminating Party, the successor Servicer or the successor Special Servicer shall have any responsibility, shall be in default
or shall incur any liability (i) for any act or failure to act by any third party, including the predecessor Servicer, the predecessor
Special Servicer, the current Servicer or Special Servicer (if the successor is not succeeding to such capacities), the Depositor
or the Trustee or for any inaccuracy or omission in a notice or communication received by the successor from any third party or
(ii) which is due to or results from the invalidity, unenforceability of the Whole Loan, Loan Agreement or any other agreement
with applicable law or the breach or the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made with respect thereto.  As compensation
therefor, the Terminating Party as successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall be entitled to all compensation
with respect to the Whole Loan to which the Terminated Party would have been entitled that accrues after the date of the Terminating
Party’s succession to which the Terminated Party would have been entitled if it had continued to act hereunder and, in
the case of a successor Special Servicer, the Special Servicing Fee.  Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it shall
be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so act, or if the Holders of Certificates having greater than 25% of the
aggregate Voting Rights of all then outstanding Certificates so request in writing to the Trustee, or the Trustee is not approved
by the Rating Agencies as a Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation, or
if the Rating Agencies do not provide written confirmation that the succession of the Trustee as Servicer or Special Servicer,
as the case may be, will not cause a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then current ratings of the Certificates, promptly
appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established loan servicing institution reasonably satisfactory
to the Trustee the appointment for which a Rating Agency Confirmation is obtained, as the successor to the Servicer or Special
Servicer, as applicable, hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the
Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder.  No appointment of a successor to a Terminated Party hereunder shall
be effective until the assumption by such successor of all the Terminated Party’s responsibilities, duties and liabilities
hereunder.  Pending appointment of a successor to a Terminated Party hereunder, unless the Trustee shall be prohibited by
law from so acting, the Trustee shall act in the applicable capacity as herein above provided. Any appointment or succession by
the Trustee to the rights and obligations of the Special Servicer hereunder shall be subject to the right of the Controlling Class
Representative to replace the Special Servicer during any Subordinate Control Period. In connection with such appointment and
assumption described herein, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on
the Whole Loan as it and such successor


 






     176


     


    

 


shall agree; provided, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted
the Terminated Party hereunder, except that if no successor to the Terminated Party can be obtained to perform the obligations
of such Terminated Party hereunder, additional amounts shall be paid to such successor and such amounts in excess of that permitted
the Terminated Party shall be paid pursuant to Section 3.4(c) (subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement). 
The Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer (as applicable), the Special Servicer (as applicable)
and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.

 

If the Trustee or an Affiliate acts pursuant to this Section 7.2 as successor to the resigning or terminated Servicer, it may reduce the Excess Servicing Fee Rate to the extent that its or such Affiliate’s compensation as successor servicer would otherwise be below the market rate servicing compensation.  If the Trustee elects to appoint a successor to the resigning or terminated Servicer other than itself or an Affiliate pursuant to this Section 7.2, it may reduce the Excess Servicing Fee Rate to the extent reasonably necessary (in the sole discretion of the Trustee) for the Trustee to appoint a qualified successor servicer that meets the requirements of this Section 7.2.

 

7.3.      Notification to Certificateholders, the Depositor and the Rating Agencies.

 

(a)        Upon any termination of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 7.1 or appointment of a successor to the Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, the Certificate Administrator shall, as soon as practicable, give written notice thereof to Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register, the Companion Loan Holders and to the Depositor and 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website).

 

(b)        Within 30 days after the occurrence of any Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event of which a Responsible Officer of the Certificate Administrator has actual knowledge, the Certificate Administrator shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Certificates, the Companion Loan Holders and to the Depositor and 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website) notice of such Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event, as the case may be, unless such Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event shall have been cured or waived.

 

7.4.  
Other Remedies of Trustee.  During the continuance of any Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination
Event, as the case may be, or so long as such Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event shall not have
been remedied, the Trustee, in addition to the rights specified in Section 7.1, shall have the right, in its own name
as trustee of an express trust, to take all actions now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute to enforce its rights
and remedies and to protect the interests, and enforce the rights and remedies, of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan
Holders (including the institution and prosecution of all judicial, administrative and other proceedings and the filing of proofs
of claim and debt in connection therewith).  In such event, the legal fees, expenses and costs of such action and any liability
resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust, and the Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed
therefor pursuant to Section 3.4(c) from the


 






     177


     


    

 


Collection Account.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no remedy provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy and no delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy shall impair any such right or remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event.

  

7.5.   
Waiver of Past Servicer Termination Events and Special Servicer Termination Events.   The Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 66 2/3% of the aggregate Voting Rights of all then outstanding Certificates
and the Companion Loan Holders may, on behalf of all Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders and upon adequate indemnification
of the Trustee by the requesting Holders of Certificates and the Companion Loan Holders, waive any Servicer Termination Event
or Special Servicer Termination Event (other than with respect to clause (ix) of the applicable definition thereof) and its consequences,
except a failure to make any required deposits (including Monthly Payment Advances) to or payments from the Collection Account,
the Distribution Account or any Foreclosed Property Account or in remitting payments as received, in each case in accordance with
this Agreement.  Upon any such waiver of a past Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event, such event
shall cease to exist, and the related Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event arising therefrom shall
be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement.  No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other
Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event or impair any right related thereto.

 

7.6.  Trustee
as Maker of Advances.  In the event that the Servicer fails to fulfill its obligations hereunder to make any Advances
(other than any Advance which has been determined, in accordance with this Agreement, to be a Nonrecoverable Advance if made),
the Trustee shall perform such obligations (w) within five Business Days (or such shorter period (but not less than one Business
Day) as may be required, if applicable, to avoid any lapse in insurance coverage required under the Loan Documents or this Agreement
with respect to the Property or to avoid any foreclosure or similar action with respect to the Property by reason of failure to
pay real estate taxes, assessments, ground rents or governmental charges) of a Responsible Officer of the Trustee obtaining knowledge
of such failure by the Servicer or the Special Servicer with respect to Property Protection Advances and Administrative Advances
and (x) by 12:00 noon New York time on the related Distribution Date with respect to Monthly Payment Advances.  With
respect to any such Advance made by the Trustee, the Trustee shall succeed to all of the Servicer’s and/or the Special
Servicer’s rights, as applicable, with respect to Advances hereunder, including, without limitation, the rights of reimbursement
and interest on each Advance at the Advance Rate, and rights to determine that a proposed Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance
(without regard to any impairment of any such rights of reimbursement caused by such Servicer’s and/or the Special Servicer’s
default in its obligations hereunder and further subject to the Trustee’s standard of good faith business judgment); provided,
that if Advances made by the Trustee, the Servicer and/or the Special Servicer shall at any time be outstanding, or any interest
on any Advance shall be accrued and unpaid, all amounts available to repay such Advances and the interest thereon hereunder shall
be applied entirely to the Advances outstanding to the Trustee until such Advances shall have been repaid in full, together with
all interest accrued thereon, prior to reimbursement of the Servicer and/or the Special Servicer, as applicable, for such Advances
and interest accrued thereon.  The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any notice given by the Servicer and/or
the Special Servicer, as


 






     178


     


    

 


applicable, with respect to a Nonrecoverable Advance hereunder.  The Trustee shall notify the Other
Servicer and Other Trustee with respect to each Other Securitization Trust of the amount of any Monthly Payment Advance made by
it pursuant to this Section 7.6 within two (2) Business Days of making such Advance.

  

8.         THE TRUSTEE, THE CUSTODIAN AND THE CERTIFICATE ADMINISTRATOR

 

8.1.  
Duties of the Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator.  (a)  The Trustee, the Custodian
and the Certificate Administrator undertake with respect to the Trust Fund to perform such duties and only such duties as are
specifically set forth in this Agreement.  None of the Depositor, the Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be obligated
to monitor or supervise the performance by any such party of its duties hereunder.  In case a Servicer Termination Event
or Special Servicer Termination Event has occurred (that has not been cured or waived), the Trustee, subject to the provisions
of Section 7.2, Section 7.4 and Section 9.5(m), shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested
in it by this Agreement, and shall use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent institution would exercise
or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such institution’s own affairs.  Any permissive right of the Trustee,
the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator set forth in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty and such party shall
not be answerable for other than its negligence or willful misconduct in performance of such right.

 

(b)        Subject to Sections 8.2(a) and 8.3, each of the Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to such party that are specifically required to be furnished to it pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, shall examine, or cause to be examined, such instruments to determine whether they conform to the requirements of this Agreement to the extent specifically set forth herein.  If any such instrument is found on its face not to conform to the requirements of this Agreement in a material manner, the Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator shall make a request to the Depositor to have the instrument corrected, and if the instrument is not corrected to the Trustee’s, the Custodian’s or the Certificate Administrator’s reasonable satisfaction, the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator shall provide notice thereof to the Certificateholders.  None of the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for the accuracy or content of any resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument furnished by the Depositor, the Servicer or the Special Servicer and accepted by the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, in good faith, pursuant to this Agreement.

 

(c)        Subject to Section 8.3, no provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, its own willful misconduct or bad faith or for any failure to perform its obligations in compliance with this Agreement, provided, that:

 

(i)         no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator and each such party 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 such party (including


 






     179


     


    

 


those provided pursuant to Section 11.1) and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement which it reasonably believes in good faith to be genuine and to have been duly executed by the proper authorities respecting any matters arising hereunder;

 

(ii)        none of the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator shall be liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer of such party unless it shall be proved that such party or such Responsible Officer, as applicable, was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

 

(iii)       none of the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator shall be liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with this Agreement or at the direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing, in the aggregate, not less than 25% of the Voting Rights of the Certificates, relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to such party, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon such party, under this Agreement;

 

(iv)       none of the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator shall be charged with knowledge of any failure by the Servicer or the Special Servicer to comply with any of their respective obligations referred to in Section 7.1 or any other act or circumstance upon the occurrence of which the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, may be required to take action unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, obtains actual knowledge of such failure, act or circumstance or the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, receives written notice of such failure from the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Borrower or Holders of the Certificates evidencing, in the aggregate, not less than 25% of the Voting Rights of the Certificates.  In the absence of receipt of such notice or actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer, the Trustee may conclusively assume that there is no Servicer Termination Event, Special Servicer Termination Event or any other act or circumstance described in Section 7.1 has occurred.

 

(v)        subject to the other provisions of this Agreement and without limiting the generality of Sections 8.1 and 8.2, none of the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator shall have any duty except, in the case of the Trustee, in its capacity as a successor Servicer or successor Special Servicer (A) to see to any recording, filing or depositing of this Agreement or any agreement referred to herein or any financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest, or to see to the maintenance of any such recording or filing or depositing or to any re-recording, refiling or redepositing thereof (except as set forth in Section 2.1(b)), (B) to see to any insurance, and (C) to confirm or verify the contents of any reports or certificates of the Servicer or the Special Servicer delivered to the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator pursuant to this Agreement reasonably believed by such party to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties; and

 



(vi)       for all purposes under this Agreement, none of the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator shall be required to take any action with respect to, or be


 






     180


     


    

 


deemed to have notice or knowledge of any Event of Default, Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event unless a Responsible Officer of such party has actual knowledge thereof or shall have received written notice thereof.  In the absence of receipt of such notice and such actual knowledge otherwise obtained, the Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator may conclusively assume that there is no Event of Default, Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event.

 

(d)        None of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator to (i) expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers hereunder if, in the opinion of the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, there are reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, or (ii) perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the Servicer or the Special Servicer under this Agreement, except with respect to the Trustee, during such time, if any, as the Trustee shall be the successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges of, the Servicer or the Special Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein, none of the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator shall be responsible or shall have any liability in connection with the duties assumed by the Authenticating Agent and the Certificate Registrar hereunder, unless the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator is acting in any such capacity hereunder; provided, further, that in any such capacity the Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator shall have all of the rights, protections and indemnities provided to it as Trustee, Custodian and Certificate Administrator hereunder, as applicable.

 

In no event shall the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator be liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder because of circumstances beyond such party’s control, including, but not limited to force majeure.

 

8.2.  
Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator.  (a)  Except as
otherwise provided in Section 8.1:

 

(i)     each of the Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator may request and rely upon and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officer’s Certificate, auditor’s certificate or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

 

(ii)    each of the Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator may consult with any nationally recognized 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;

 





     181


     


    

 

 

(iii)       none of the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator shall be under any obligation to exercise the trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities, including reasonable legal fees, which may be incurred therein or thereby; provided, that nothing contained herein shall relieve the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator of the obligation, upon the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event (which has not been cured or waived), to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and, with respect to the Trustee, to use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs;

 

(iv)       none of the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator shall be liable for any action reasonably taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;

 

(v)        prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event hereunder and after the curing or waiver of such Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event that may have occurred, none of the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator shall be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or agreements herein (except as specifically required by this Agreement) or to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing so to do by Holders of Certificates evidencing, in the aggregate, not less than 25% of the Voting Rights of the outstanding Certificates; provided, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the such party of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by either party in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of such party, not reasonably assured to it by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement, such party may require indemnity satisfactory to it against such costs, expenses or liabilities as a condition to taking any such action.  The reasonable expense of every such investigation shall be paid by the Trust pursuant to Section 3.4(c) in the event that such investigation relates to a Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event, if such an event shall have occurred and is continuing, and otherwise by the Certificateholders requesting the investigation;

 

(vi)       each of the Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys selected by it with due care;

 



(vii)      none of the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator shall be required to post any kind of bond or surety in connection with the execution and


 






     182

(viii)     notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any and all communications (both text and attachments, excluding any notice to the Servicer or the Special Servicer under Section 7.1(a)) by or from the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, in any of its capacities, that it in its sole discretion deems to contain confidential, proprietary, and/or sensitive information and sent by electronic mail will be encrypted.  The recipient of the email communication will be required to complete a one-time registration process. Information and assistance on registering and using the email encryption technology can be found at the Certificate Administrator’s Website or by calling the Certificate Administrator’s customer support desk at (866) 846-4526;

 

(ix)       for as long as the Person that serves as the Certificate Administrator hereunder also serves as Custodian, 17g-5 Information Provider, Authenticating Agent and/or Certificate Registrar, the protections, immunities and indemnities afforded to that Person in its capacity as Certificate Administrator hereunder shall also be afforded to such Person in its capacity as Custodian, 17g-5 Information Provider, Authenticating Agent and/or Certificate Registrar, as the case may be; and

 

(x)        no provision of this Agreement or any other transaction document shall be deemed to impose any duty or obligation on the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator to take or omit to take any action, or suffer any action to be taken or omitted, in the performance of its duties or obligations under the transaction documents, or to exercise any right or power thereunder, to the extent that taking or omitting to take such action or suffering such action to be taken or omitted would violate applicable law binding upon it (which determination may be based on the advice or opinion of counsel).

 

(b)        Following the Closing Date, none of the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator shall accept any contribution of assets to the Trust Fund not specifically contemplated by this Agreement.

 

(c)        All rights or actions under this Agreement or under any of the Certificates, enforceable by the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator may be enforced by such party without the possession of any of the Certificates, or the production thereof at the trial or other proceeding relating thereto, and any such suit, action or proceeding instituted by such party shall be brought in its name for the benefit of all the Holders of such Certificates, subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

     183


     


    

 


the Certificate Administrator are required to obtain, verify and record certain information relating to individuals and entities which maintain a business relationship with such party.  Accordingly, each of the parties agrees to provide to the Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator, upon their request from time to time such identifying information and documentation as may be available for such party in order to enable the Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator to comply with Applicable Laws.

 

8.3.  
None of the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator is Liable for Certificates or the Mortgage Loan.

such party assumes responsibility for their correctness.  The Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator make
no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement, the Certificates, the Mortgage Loan or of the Whole Loan
or related documents except as expressly set forth herein.  The Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator
shall not be liable for any action or failure to take any action by the Depositor, the Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder

or the maintenance of any such perfection and priority, or for or with respect to the efficacy of the Trust Fund or its ability
to generate the payments to be distributed to Certificateholders under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the existence,
condition and ownership of the Property; the existence and enforceability of any hazard insurance thereon; the validity of the
assignment of the Mortgage Loan to the Trust; the performance or enforcement of the Mortgage Loan (other than with respect to
the Servicer or the Special Servicer, if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer and/or the Special Servicer, respectively,
pursuant to Section 7.2 and then only to the extent of the obligations of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as
applicable, hereunder); the compliance by the Depositor, the Borrower, the Servicer or the Special Servicer with any warranty

Administrator’s, as applicable, receipt of notice or actual knowledge of any noncompliance therewith or any breach thereof
(provided, that the Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator shall have no obligation to investigate a
breach of any such warranty or representation); any investment of monies by or at the direction of the Servicer or the Special
Servicer or any loss resulting therefrom; the failure of the Servicer or the Special Servicer or any sub-servicer to act or perform


 






     184


     


    

 


any duties required of it hereunder; or any action by the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator taken at the direction of the Servicer or the Special Servicer (other than with respect to the Trustee, if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, respectively); provided, that the foregoing shall not relieve the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, of its obligation to perform its duties under this Agreement.  Except with respect to a claim based on the Trustee’s, the Custodian’s or the Certificate Administrator’s negligent action, negligent failure to act or willful misconduct (or such other standard of care as may be provided herein with respect to any particular matter), no recourse shall be had for any claim based on any provisions of this Agreement, the Certificates, the Mortgage, the Property, the Collateral Security Documents or the Mortgage Loan or assignment thereof against the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, in its respective individual capacity, and none of the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator shall have any personal obligation, liability or duty whatsoever to any Certificateholder or any other Person with respect to any such claim, and any such claim shall be asserted solely against the Trust Fund or any indemnitor who shall furnish indemnity as provided in this Agreement.  None of the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator shall have any responsibility for filing any financing or continuation statements in any public office at any time or to otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest or lien granted to it hereunder or to record this Agreement (unless, with respect to the Trustee, the Trustee shall have become the successor Servicer or Special Servicer).  None of the Trustee, the Custodian or 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 Loan to the Trust Fund, or any funds deposited in or withdrawn from the Collection Account or any account maintained by or on behalf of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable (except to the extent that the Collection Account is held by the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator in its commercial capacity), or for investment of such amounts (other than investments made with the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator in their commercial capacity).



 

The Trustee, the
Custodian and the Certificate Administrator, by reason of the action or inaction of its directors, officers, members,
managers, partners, employees or agents shall have no liability to the Trust, the Certificateholders or the Companion Loan
Holders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement or for
actions taken or not taken at the direction of Certificateholders or the Companion Loan Holders, or for errors in judgment;
provided, that this provision shall not protect the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator or any such Person
against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence of the
Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator or any such Person.  The Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate
Administrator in each of its capacities under this Agreement and any of their respective directors, officers, members,
managers, partners, employees, Affiliates, agents or Controlling Persons shall be indemnified by the Trust Fund pursuant to Section
3.4(c) out of amounts on deposit in the Collection Account, and held harmless against any loss, liability, claim, demand
or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and any expenses incurred in connection with the
pursuit of enforcement of any indemnity afforded to such party hereunder) incurred in connection with or related to the
Trustee’s, the Custodian’s or the Certificate Administrator’s performance of its


 






     185


     


    

 


 powers and duties under this Agreement (including, without limitation, performance under Section 8.1 hereof), the Mortgage Loan, the Companion Loans, the Property or the Certificates; provided, that this provision shall not protect the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator or any such Person against any breach of its representations or warranties made in this Agreement or any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence of the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator or any such Person.  The indemnification provided hereunder shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator and the termination of this Agreement.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall be responsible for its acts or failure to act as Servicer and/or Special Servicer during the time the Trustee is serving as such pursuant and subject to the terms of this Agreement.

 

With respect to a Companion Loan, the expenses, costs and liabilities described in the previous paragraph that are allocable to such Companion Loan pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall be paid out of amounts allocated to such Companion Loan in accordance with the expense allocation provision of the Intercreditor Agreement. If such amounts relating to such Companion Loan are insufficient, then any deficiency shall be paid from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account with respect to the Mortgage Loan; provided that the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall, after receiving payment from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account with respect to the Mortgage Loan, if any, to (i) promptly notify the Companion Loan Holders and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to exercise on behalf of the Trust the rights of the Trust under the Intercreditor Agreement to obtain reimbursement for the portion of such amount allocable to the Companion Loans on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis.

 

8.4.  Trustee,
Custodian and Certificate Administrator May Own Certificates.  The Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator
in their individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates with the same rights, powers, and privileges
as it would have if it were not the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable.

 

8.5.  Trustee’s,
Custodian’s and Certificate Administrator’s Fees and Expenses.  The Trustee and the Certificate Administrator
shall be entitled to the Trustee Fee and the Certificate Administrator Fee, respectively payable pursuant to Section 3.4(c). 
The Certificate Administrator Fee and 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 Certificate Administrator’s and the Trustee’s sole form of
compensation, respectively (unless otherwise set forth herein) for all services rendered by it in the execution of the trust hereby
created and in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties of the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee hereunder.

amounts on deposit in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.4(c); provided, that none of the Trustee, the Custodian
or the Certificate Administrator shall refuse to perform any of its obligations hereunder solely as a result of the failure to
be paid any fees and expenses so long as (a) payment of such fees and expenses are reasonably assured to it or (b) to the extent

annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for purposes of this
Section the combined capital and surplus of such entity 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 that the place of business from which the Trustee, the Custodian
or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, administers the Trust Fund is a state or local jurisdiction that imposes a tax

Such insurance policy shall protect the Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, against losses, forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions of such covered Persons.  The amount of coverage shall be at least equal to the coverage that is required by applicable governmental authorities having regulatory power over the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable.  If any such bond or policy ceases to be in effect, the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, shall obtain a comparable replacement bond or policy.

effect, and (ii) acceptance by a successor Trustee, successor Custodian or successor Certificate Administrator, as applicable,
appointed by the Depositor in accordance with Section 8.8 meeting the qualifications set forth in Section 8.6. 
Upon such notice of resignation, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee, successor Custodian or successor Certificate
Administrator, as applicable.  If no successor Trustee, successor Custodian or successor Certificate Administrator shall
have been so appointed and shall have accepted appointment within 60 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the
resigning Trustee, Custodian or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for
the appointment of a successor Trustee, Custodian or Certificate Administrator, as applicable.

 

If at any time any of the following occur:  (x) the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.6 and shall fail to resign after written request for such party’s resignation by the Depositor, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable; (y) the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator shall materially default in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement; or (z) if at any time the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator

Custodian or the Certificate Administrator and the appointment of a successor thereto.  Such court may thereupon, after such
notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable,
which removal and appointment shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by a successor thereto as provided in Section 8.8. 
The successor Trustee, Custodian or Certificate Administrator, as applicable so appointed by such court shall immediately and
without further act be superseded by any successor Trustee, Custodian or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, appointed by
the Certificateholders as provided below within one year from the date of appointment by such court.  Holders of Certificates

successor Trustee, Custodian or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, by written instrument or instruments, in triplicate,

Administrator.  No removal of the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator shall be effective until all reasonable
fees, costs, expenses and Advances (including interest thereon), together with any other amounts owing to such party have been
paid to such party in full.  If no successor Trustee, successor Custodian or successor Certificate Administrator shall have

Custodian or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of
a successor Trustee, Custodian or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, at the expense of the Trust Fund.

 

Any resignation or removal of the Trustee, the Custodian or Certificate Administrator and appointment of a successor trustee, successor custodian or successor certificate administrator shall not become effective until acceptance of the appointment by the

for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Trustee, Custodian or Certificate Administrator all such
rights, powers, duties and obligations.

8.10.  
Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.  (a)  At any time or times, for the purpose of meeting any
legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which the Property may at the time be located or in which any action of the Trustee
may be required to be performed or taken, the Trustee, the Depositor or the Holders of Certificates evidencing, in the aggregate,
a majority of the Voting Rights of the outstanding Certificates, by an instrument in writing signed by it or them, may appoint
one or more individuals or corporations to act as separate trustee or separate trustees or co-trustees, acting jointly with the
Trustee, of all or any part of the Property, to the full extent that local law makes it necessary for such separate trustee or
separate trustees or co-trustee acting jointly with the Trustee to act.  The fees and expenses of any separate trustee or
co-trustee shall be paid by the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 3.4(c).

 

(b)        The Trustee shall execute, acknowledge and deliver all such instruments as may be required by the legal requirements of any jurisdiction or by any such separate trustee or separate trustees or co-trustee for the purpose of more fully conferring such title, rights or duties to such separate trustee or separate trustees or co-trustee, it, he, she or they shall be vested with such title to the Property or any part thereof, and with such rights, powers, duties and obligations as shall be specified in the instrument of appointment, and such rights, powers, duties and obligations shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee, or the Trustee and such separate trustee or separate trustees or co-trustees jointly with the Trustee subject to all the terms of this Agreement, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee or separate trustees or co-trustee, as the case may be.  Any separate trustee or separate trustees or co-trustee may, at any time by an instrument in writing, constitute the Trustee, its attorney-in-fact and agent with full power and authority to do all acts and things and to exercise all discretion on its behalf and in its, her or his name.  In the event that any such separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, the title to the Property and all assets, property, rights, powers, duties and obligations of such separate trustee or co-trustee shall, so far as permitted by law, vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, without the appointment of a successor to such separate trustee or co-trustee unless and until a successor is appointed.

 

(c)        All provisions of this Agreement which are for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall extend to and apply to each separate trustee or co-trustee appointed pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.10, and to the Trustee and Certificate Administrator in each capacity that either may assume hereunder, including without limitation, the Certificate Administrator’s capacity as Certificate Administrator, Custodian, Certificate Registrar, 17g-5 Information Provider and Authenticating Agent, as applicable.

 

(d)        Every co-trustee and separate trustee hereunder shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act and the Trustee shall act, subject to the following provisions and conditions:  (i) all powers, duties, obligations and rights conferred upon the Trustee in respect of the receipt, custody, investment and payment of monies shall be exercised solely by the Trustee; (ii) all other rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such co-trustee or trustees and separate trustee or trustees jointly except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed, the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights,

 






     191


     


    

 

powers,
duties and obligations shall be exercised and performed by such co-trustee or trustees; (iii) no power hereby given to, or
exercisable by, any such co-trustee or separate trustee shall be exercised hereunder by such co-trustee or separate trustees except

any act or omission of any other trustees hereunder.


 


If, at any time, the Trustee shall deem it no longer necessary or prudent in order to conform to any such law, the Trustee shall execute and deliver all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to remove any co-trustee or separate trustee.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee by the Trustee shall not relieve the Trustee of its obligations, duties, or responsibilities in any way or to any degree.

 

(e)        Any request, approval or consent in writing by the Trustee to any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be sufficient warrant to such co-trustee or separate trustee, as the case may be, to take such action as may be so required, approved or consented to.

 

(f)         Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 8.10, the powers of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall not exceed those of the Trustee hereunder, and such co-trustee or separate trustee must meet the eligibility requirements set forth in Section 8.6.

to the benefits of this Agreement and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Certificate Administrator
hereunder.  Wherever a reference is made in this Agreement to the authentication and delivery of Certificates by the Certificate
Administrator or the Certificate Administrator’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include
authentication and delivery on behalf of the Certificate Administrator by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication
executed on behalf of the Certificate Administrator by an Authenticating Agent.  Each Authenticating Agent shall, at all
times, be a corporation or association organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State
thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such law to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus
of not less than $15,000,000, authorized under such laws to do trust business and subject to supervision or examination by federal
or state authorities.  If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or
to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section the combined capital and
surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report
of condition so published.  If, at any time, an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions
of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section. 
The initial Authenticating Agent shall be the Certificate Administrator.

 

(b)        Any Person into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the corporate agency business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an


 






     192


     


    

 


Authenticating Agent, provided such Person shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Certificate Administrator or the Authenticating Agent.

  

(c)        An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving at least 30 days’ advance written notice thereof to the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable and the Depositor.  The Certificate Administrator may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent, the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable and the Depositor.  Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Certificate Administrator may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent and shall mail written notice of such appointment by first class mail, postage prepaid to all Certificateholders as their names and addresses appear in the Certificate Register.  Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent herein.  No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section.

 

8.12. Indemnification
by Trustee, Custodian and the Certificate Administrator.  The Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator,
as applicable, severally and not jointly, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trust, each other party to this Agreement and
the Companion Loan Holders from and against any claims, losses, liabilities, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable
legal fees and expenses and related costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and any expenses incurred
in connection with the pursuit of enforcement of any indemnity afforded to such party hereunder), judgments and other costs and
expenses incurred by the Trust, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor or the Companion Loan Holders, as applicable,
that arise out of or are based upon (i) a breach by the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable,
of its representations and warranties under this Agreement or (ii) negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part
of the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, in the performance of its obligations under this
Agreement or its negligent disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement.

 

8.13.  
Certificate Administrator and Servicer Not Responsible for Inconsistent Payment Information.  In connection with any
Distribution Date and a voluntary prepayment or the payment at maturity by the Borrower of the Mortgage Loan or any portion thereof,
the Certificate Administrator shall report the amount of such prepayment or payment to the Depository based on information received
from the Servicer or Special Servicer in reliance on notices received from the Borrower.  In the event of any inconsistencies
in payments or prepayments made by the Borrower with the previously delivered notices by the Borrower, all costs and expenses
incurred as a result of a failure by the Borrower to make any such payments or prepayment, shall be paid by the Borrower in accordance
with the Loan Agreement provided that the amount of payment reported to the Depository by the Certificate Administrator
was consistent with the information received from the Servicer or Special Servicer.  If the Borrower fails to do so, such
costs and expenses shall be reimbursed to the Certificate Administrator and to the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable,
by the Trust pursuant to Section 3.4(c) from funds


 






     193

Administrator, the Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be liable for any inability or delay of the Depository to make a distribution

on the Remittance Date or as soon as reasonably possible of any such inconsistencies.

9.1.      Selection and Removal of the Controlling Class Representative.

 

(a)        The Majority Controlling Class Certificateholders may elect the Controlling Class Representative. 

 

(b)        The Controlling Class Representative shall be the representative selected by the Majority Controlling Class Certificateholders; provided that (A) if a majority of the Controlling Class, by Certificate Balance in the aggregate, is not directly or indirectly held by the Guarantor, the Sponsor, the Property Manager, an Affiliate of the Guarantor, the Sponsor or the Property Manager, or the Borrower or Borrower Party or any agent of the foregoing, then (i) absent such selection, (ii) until a Controlling Class Representative is so selected and is identified (with contact information) to the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, or (iii) upon receipt by the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee of notice from the Majority Controlling Class Certificateholders that a Controlling Class Representative is no longer so designated, the Controlling Class Certificateholder that owns, and is identified (with contact information) to the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee as owning, the largest aggregate Certificate Balance of Certificates of the Controlling Class and represents that it is not the Guarantor, the Property Manager, the Sponsor, an Affiliate of any of the foregoing, the Borrower, a Borrower Party, or any agent of any of the foregoing shall be the Controlling Class Representative, and (B) if a majority of the Controlling Class by Certificate Balance in the aggregate, is directly or indirectly held by the Guarantor, the Sponsor, the Property Manager, an Affiliate of the Guarantor, Sponsor or Property Manager, or the Borrower or Borrower Party or any agent of the foregoing, then there shall be no Controlling Class Representative and a Subordinate Control Period and a Subordinate Consultation Period shall be deemed not to be in effect such that no Holder of the Controlling Class shall have any consent or consultation rights with respect to Major Decisions or any other matter under this Agreement.  Each Holder of the Certificates of the Controlling Class shall be entitled to vote in each election of the Controlling Class Representative; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Controlling Class Representative cannot be the Property Manager, the Guarantor, the Sponsor, an Affiliate of any of the foregoing, the Borrower, a Borrower Party, or an agent of any of the foregoing. 

 

 



     198


     


    



 

(c)        The Majority Controlling Class Certificateholders shall give written notice (which shall be required to include a statement that each Majority Controlling Class Certificateholder and the Controlling Class Representative is not the Property Manager, the Guarantor, the Sponsor, an Affiliate of any of the foregoing, the Borrower, a Borrower Party, or an agent of any of the foregoing) to the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee of the appointment of any initial and any subsequent Controlling Class Representative (in order to receive notices hereunder). 

 

Prior to being recognized as the Controlling Class Representative, the initial Controlling Class Representative shall execute and deliver a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit K-3 to this Agreement certifying that it, and each of the Majority Controlling Class Certificateholders that appointed such Controlling Class Representative, is not the Guarantor, the Sponsor, the Property Manager, an affiliate of any of the Guarantor, the Sponsor or the Property Manager, or the Borrower or a Borrower Party.  Upon the resignation or removal of the existing Controlling Class Representative, any successor Controlling Class Representative shall also deliver a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit K-3 to this Agreement prior to being recognized as the new Controlling Class Representative.

 

The Certificate Administrator, the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not be charged with knowledge of any affiliation of the Controlling Class Certificateholder or a majority of the Controlling Class by Certificate Balance with a Borrower Party unless and until it shall have received notice of such affiliation from the Controlling Class Certificateholder or a majority of the Controlling Class Certificateholders by Certificate Balance substantially in the form of Exhibit W, upon which each party hereto may conclusively rely.

 

(d)        The Controlling Class Representative may be removed at any time by the written vote of the Majority Controlling Class Certificateholders, with or without cause, and a copy of the results of such vote must be delivered to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer and the Special Servicer.

 

(e)        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 Certificate Administrator in writing of the transfer of any Certificate of the Controlling Class, the selection of a Controlling Class Representative or the resignation or removal thereof.  Any Certificateholder or its designee at any time is hereby deemed to have agreed by virtue of its purchase of a Certificate to notify the Certificate Administrator in writing when such Certificateholder or its designee is appointed Controlling Class Representative and when it is removed or resigns or if it becomes the Property Manager, the Guarantor, the Sponsor, an Affiliate of any of the foregoing, the Borrower, a Borrower Party, or an agent of any of the foregoing.  Upon receipt of such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall forward such notice to the Special Servicer and the Servicer, indicating the identity of the Controlling Class Representative and any resignation or removal thereof or if such Person has become the Property Manager, the Guarantor, the Sponsor, an Affiliate of any of the foregoing, the Borrower, a Borrower Party, or an agent of any of the foregoing.  In addition, upon the request of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee shall provide the name of the then-current Controlling Class and a list of the Certificateholders (or


 






     199


     


    

 


Beneficial Owners, if applicable, at the expense of the requesting party) of the Controlling Class to such requesting party.

  

(f)         Once a Controlling Class Representative has been selected, each of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and each other Certificateholder (or Beneficial Owner, if applicable) shall be entitled to rely on such selection unless the Majority Controlling Class Certificateholders shall have notified each other party to this Agreement and each other Certificateholder of the Controlling Class, in writing, of the resignation of such Controlling Class Representative or the selection of a new Controlling Class Representative. 

 

(g)        Until it receives written notice to the contrary, each party to this Agreement shall be entitled to rely on the most recent notification with respect to the identity of the Certificateholders of the Controlling Class and the Controlling Class Representative and the Risk Retention Consultation Party and any such party’s status as the Property Manager, the Guarantor, the Sponsor, an affiliate of the foregoing, the Borrower, a Borrower Party, or any agent of the foregoing.

 

(h)        The Controlling Class Representative shall be responsible for its own expenses.

 

9.2.      Limitation on Liability of Controlling Class Representative; Acknowledgements of the Certificateholders. 

 

(a)        The Controlling Class Representative will have no liability to the Trust or Certificateholders for having acted in accordance with or as permitted by this Agreement.

 

(b)        Each Certificateholder acknowledges and agrees, by its acceptance of its Certificates, that:  (i) the Controlling Class Representative and/or any Controlling Class Certificateholder may each have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of Holders of one or more other Classes of Certificates; (ii) the Controlling Class Representative and/or any Controlling Class Certificateholder may act solely in the interests of the Controlling Class; (iii) the Controlling Class Representative and the Controlling Class Certificateholders do not have any duties to the Trust or to the Holders of any Class of Certificates; (iv) the Controlling Class Representative and/or any Controlling Class Certificateholder may take actions that favor interests of the Controlling Class over the interests of the Holders of one or more other Classes of Certificates; (v) neither the Controlling Class Representative nor any Controlling Class Certificateholder shall have any liability whatsoever to the Trust, the other parties to this Agreement, the Certificateholders or any other Person for having acted in accordance with or as permitted under the terms of this Agreement; and (vi) the Holders of the Certificates may not take any action whatsoever against the Controlling Class Representative or any Controlling Class Certificateholder or any of their respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, agents or principals as a result of the Controlling Class Representative or the Controlling Class Certificateholders having acted in accordance with the terms of and as permitted under this Agreement.

 

9.3.      Rights and Powers of the Controlling Class Representative.

 

 



     200


     


    



 

(a)        Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Servicer shall not take any action constituting a Major Decision unless it has obtained the consent of the Special Servicer (which approval shall be deemed given if the Special Servicer does not object within five (5) Business Days (or, in the case of a determination of an Acceptable Insurance Default, thirty (30) days) of receipt of the Servicer’s written analysis and recommendation together with any information in the possession of the Servicer that is reasonably required to make a decision regarding the subject action) and (ii) during any Subordinate Control Period, the Special Servicer shall not consent to the Servicer’s taking any action constituting a Major Decision, nor shall the Special Servicer itself take any such action, as to which the Controlling Class Representative has objected in writing within five (5) Business Days (or, in the case of a determination of an Acceptable Insurance Default, thirty (30) days) after receipt of the written recommendation and analysis from the Special Servicer, together with any information in the possession of the Special Servicer that is reasonably necessary to make a decision regarding the subject action (provided that if such written objection has not been received by the Special Servicer within such five (5) Business Day (or, in the case of a determination of an Acceptable Insurance Default, thirty (30) day) period, then the Controlling Class Representative shall be deemed to have approved such action); provided, that if the Special Servicer or the Servicer (if the Servicer is otherwise authorized by this Agreement to take such action), as applicable, determines that immediate action, with respect to a Major Decision, or any other matter requiring consent of, or consultation with, the Controlling Class Representative during any Subordinate Control Period, is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders, the Special Servicer or Servicer, as applicable, may take any such action without waiting for a response from the Controlling Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period) or Special Servicer, as applicable; provided, further, that the Special Servicer shall consult, solely on a non-binding basis (and consider alternative actions recommended by each such party), during any Subordinate Consultation Period, with the Controlling Class Representative with respect to any Major Decision.

 

(b)        In addition, during any Subordinate Control Period, subject to this Section 9.3(b) and the immediately following paragraph, the Controlling Class Representative may direct the Special Servicer to take, or to refrain from taking, such other actions with respect to the Mortgage Loan as the Controlling Class Representative may deem advisable.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Special Servicer shall not follow any advice, direction or consultation provided by the Controlling Class Representative that would require or cause the Special Servicer to violate any provision of the Loan Documents, applicable law or this Agreement, including without limitation the Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, or expose any Certificateholder, the Trust, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or their affiliates, officers, directors or agents to any claim, suit or liability, result in the imposition of a tax upon the Trust, cause either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or materially expand the scope of the Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s responsibilities hereunder.  Furthermore, in addition to the rights of consent and consultation (as applicable) of the Controlling Class Representative as set forth in Section 9.3(a) above, it is understood and agreed that to the extent any other provision of this Agreement requires the provision of notice to, the obtaining of consent of, and/or consultation with, the Controlling Class Representative or otherwise provides for any right of the Controlling Class Representative thereunder, then none of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer or the Special


 






     201


     


    

 


Servicer shall be entitled to take any action (or omit to take any action) in contravention of the applicable rights of the Controlling Class Representative contained in such provision; provided, that this sentence is not intended to in any way (i) expand the rights of the Controlling Class Representative, (ii) limit the application of the immediately preceding sentence, (iii) remove any limitations on the exercise of such rights set forth in such other provisions, or (iv) require the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer and/or the Special Servicer to send a notice to, obtain the consent of, or consult with a new Controlling Class Representative whose name and contact information have not yet been provided to the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer and/or the Special Servicer; and provided, further, that if such other provisions are in any way subject to this Section 9.3, then the exercise of such rights shall be subject to this Section 9.3(b) and the immediately following paragraph.

 

(c)        If the Special Servicer or Servicer, as applicable, determines that a refusal to consent by the Controlling Class Representative or any direction or advice from the Controlling Class Representative or the Risk Retention Consultation Party would otherwise cause the Special Servicer or the Servicer, as applicable, to violate the terms of the Loan Documents, applicable law, provisions of the Code (resulting in the imposition of federal income tax on the Trust or causing either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code) or this Agreement, including without limitation, Accepted Servicing Practices or materially expand the scope of the Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s responsibilities under this Agreement, the Special Servicer or Servicer, as applicable, shall disregard such refusal to consent, direction or advice and notify the Controlling Class Representative or the Risk Retention Consultation Party, respectively, the Certificate Administrator and the 17g-5 Information Provider of its determination, including a reasonably detailed explanation of the basis therefor.  The taking of, or refraining from taking, any action by the Servicer or Special Servicer in accordance with the direction of or approval of the Controlling Class Representative or the Risk Retention Consultation Party that does not violate the Loan Documents, any applicable law, provisions of the Code (resulting in the imposition of federal income tax on the Trust or causing either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code) or violate Accepted Servicing Practices or any other provisions of this Agreement, shall not result in any liability on the part of the Servicer or the Special Servicer.

 

(d)        At any time other than during a Subordinate Control Period or a Subordinate Consultation Period, the Controlling Class Representative shall have no consultation rights under this Agreement and shall have no right to receive any notices, reports or information (other than notices, reports or information required to be delivered to all Certificateholders) or any other rights as Controlling Class Representative; provided, that the Controlling Class Representative (if and to the extent that it is a Certificateholder) will maintain the right to exercise its Voting Rights for the same purposes as any other Certificateholder under this Agreement. 

 

(e)        [Reserved].

 

(f)         In the event that no Controlling Class Representative has been appointed or identified to the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, has attempted to obtain such information from the Certificate


 






     202


     


    

 


Administrator and no such entity has been identified to the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, then until such time as the new Controlling Class Representative is identified, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall have no duty to consult with, provide notice to, or seek the approval or consent of any such Controlling Class Representative.

 

(g)        With respect to any action requiring Controlling Class Representative consent or consultation under this Agreement, where a time period is not otherwise specified, such consent shall be deemed given (or consultation deemed completed) if the Controlling Class Representative does not respond to the applicable request for consent or consultation within 5 Business Days (or 30 days with respect to an Acceptable Insurance Default).

 

(h)        The Certificate Administrator shall notify the Servicer and the Special Servicer within ten (10) Business Days of the existence or cessation of any Subordinate Consultation Period or Subordinate Control Period and the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such notice. Upon the Certificate Administrator’s determination that a Subordinate Consultation Period or Subordinate Control Period has occurred or is terminated, the Certificate Administrator shall, within ten (10) Business Days, post a “special notice” on the Certificate Administrator’s Website.

 

9.4.      Controlling Class Representative Contact with Servicer and Special Servicer.

 

(a)        Upon reasonable request, each of the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall, without charge, make a Servicing Officer available to answer questions from the Controlling Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period and any Subordinate Consultation Period) regarding the performance and servicing of the Mortgage Loan (or, in the case of the Special Servicer, the Special Servicer’s operational activities on a platform level basis related to the servicing of the Mortgage Loan after a Special Servicing Loan Event and the servicing of any Foreclosed Property) for which the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, is responsible.

 

(b)        Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the failure of the 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 if the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, determines, in its reasonable and good faith judgment and consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, that such disclosure would constitute a waiver of the attorney-client privilege on behalf of the Trust or otherwise materially harm the Trust or the Trust Fund.

 

9.5.      The Risk Retention Consultation Party.



 

(a)        If the Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall consult, solely on a non-binding basis with the Risk Retention Consultation Party (and consider alternative actions recommended by such party) with respect to the same matters as to which the Special Servicer is required to consult with the Controlling Class Representative as set forth in Section 9.3 (as if a Subordinate Consultation Period were in effect) and in the same manner as set forth in Section 9.3 with respect to the consultation rights


 






     203


     


    

 


of the Controlling Class Representative during a Subordinate Consultation Period. In the event the Special Servicer receives no response from a Risk Retention Consultation Party within 10 calendar days following the later of (i) the Special Servicer’s written request for input on any requested consultation and (ii) delivery of all such additional information reasonably requested by such Risk Retention Consultation Party related to the subject matter of such consultation and in the Special Servicer’s possession, the Special Servicer shall not be obligated to consult with such Risk Retention Consultation Party solely with respect to the specific matter.

 

(b)        If the Risk Retention Consultation Party is, or a majority of the RR Interest (by Certificate Balance) is directly or indirectly held by, a Guarantor, the Sponsor, the Property Manager, an affiliate of any Guarantor, the Sponsor or the Property Manager, or the Borrower or a Borrower Party, then the Special Servicer shall have no obligation to consult with such Risk Retention Consultation Party and such Risk Retention Consultation Party shall have none of the consultation rights set forth above in subsection (a).

 

(c)        On the Closing Date, the initial Risk Retention Consultation Party shall deliver to the parties to this Agreement a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit K-4 to this Agreement.  Upon the resignation or removal of the existing Risk Retention Consultation Party, any successor Risk Retention Consultation Party shall also deliver to the parties to this Agreement a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit K-4 to this Agreement prior to being recognized as the new Risk Retention Consultation Party.  The parties to this Agreement shall be entitled to assume that the identity of the Risk Retention Consultation Party has not changed until such time as a successor Risk Retention Consultation Party delivers a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit K-4 to this Agreement.

 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Servicer or Special Servicer determines that immediate action with respect to any action requiring the consent of the Risk Retention Consultation Party is necessary to protect the interest of the Certificateholders, the Servicer or Special Servicer may take such action without waiting for a response.

 

(d)        The Risk Retention Consultation Party will have no liability to the Trust or Certificateholders for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, or for errors in judgment; provided, that this provision shall not protect the Risk Retention Consultation Party against any liability to the Holders of the RR Interest that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of reckless disregard of its obligations and duties owed to the Holders of the RR Interest. 

 

(e)        Each Certificateholder acknowledges and agrees, by its acceptance of its Certificates, that:  (i) the Risk Retention Consultation Party may have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of Holders of one or more Classes of Certificates; (ii) the Risk Retention Consultation Party may act solely in the interests of the Holders of the RR Interest; (iii) the Risk Retention Consultation Party does not have any liability or duties to the Holders of any Class of Certificates other than the RR Interest; (iv) the Risk Retention Consultation Party may take actions that favor interests of the Holders of one or more Classes including the RR Interest over the interests of the Holders of one or more other Classes of Certificates; and (v) the Risk Retention Consultation Party shall have no liability whatsoever (other than to a Holder of the RR Interest) for having so acted as set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above, and no


 






     204


     


    

 


Certificateholder may take any action whatsoever against the Risk Retention Consultation Party or any director, officer, employee, agent or principal of the Risk Retention Consultation Party for having so acted.

 

10.       EXCHANGE ACT REPORTING AND REGULATION AB COMPLIANCE

 

10.1.     Intent of
the Parties; Reasonableness.  Except with respect to Section 10.8, Section 10.9 and Section 10.10,
the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the purpose of this Article 10 is to facilitate compliance by any Other Depositor
subject to Exchange Act reporting requirements with the provisions of Regulation AB and related rules and regulations of the Commission. 
Neither the Depositor nor the Certificate Administrator shall, and no Other Depositor or Other Certificate Administrator may,
exercise its right to request delivery of information or other performance under these provisions other than in reasonable good
faith, or (except with respect to Section 10.8, Section 10.9 or Section 10.10) for purposes other than compliance
with the Act, the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and, in each case, the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. 
The parties hereto acknowledge that interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB may change over time, whether due to
interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff, or otherwise, and agree to comply with reasonable requests made
by the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, any Other Depositor or any Other Certificate Administrator in good faith for
delivery of information under these provisions on the basis of such evolving interpretations of the requirements of Regulation
AB (to the extent such interpretations require compliance and are not “grandfathered” and do not mandate compliance). 
In connection with the Morgan Stanley Capital I Trust 2020-CNP transaction, each of the parties to this Agreement shall cooperate
fully with the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, any Other Depositor and any Other Certificate Administrator, as applicable,
to deliver or make available to any such party (including any of their assignees or designees), any and all statements, reports,
certifications, records and any other information in its possession and necessary in the reasonable good faith determination of
such party to permit any Other Depositor to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, together with such disclosure relating
to the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, and any Sub-Servicer,
or the servicing of the Whole Loan, reasonably believed by the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, an Other Depositor or
an Other Certificate Administrator, as applicable, to be necessary in order to effect such compliance.  Each party to this
Agreement shall have a reasonable period of time to comply with any written request made under this Section 10.1, but in
any event, shall, upon reasonable advance written request, provide information in sufficient time to allow the Depositor, the
Certificate Administrator, any Other Depositor or any Other Certificate Administrator, as applicable, to satisfy any related filing
requirements.  For purposes of this Article 10, to the extent any party has an obligation to exercise commercially
reasonable efforts to cause a third party to perform, such party hereunder shall not be required to bring any legal action against
such third party in connection with such obligation.

 

10.2.     Information
to be Provided by the Servicer, the Special Servicer, any Primary Servicer and the Certificate Administrator.  (a)  For
so long as an Other Securitization Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Servicer, the Special
Servicer, the Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator shall (and each of the Servicer, the Special Servicer,
the Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator, as


 






     205


     


    

 


applicable, shall cause each Sub-Servicer (other than any party
to this Agreement) with which it has entered into a servicing relationship with respect to the Whole Loan after the Closing Date,
to) (i) notify each Other Depositor in writing of (A) any litigation or governmental proceedings of the type described in Item
1117 of Regulation AB pending against such party, or with respect to any of its property, that, in each such case, would be material
to Certificateholders and (B) any affiliations of the type described in Item 1119 of Regulation AB or relationships of the type
described in Item 1119 of Regulation AB that develop following the Closing Date between the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the
Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator (or, if applicable, any Sub-Servicer) (and any other parties identified
in writing by the requesting party), on the one hand, and any other such party on the other, as the case may be, as such affiliation
or relationship relates to any Other Securitization Trust, and (ii) provide to each Other Depositor a description of such legal
proceedings, affiliations or relationships, in each case, in a form that would enable such Other Depositor to satisfy its reporting
obligations under Item 1117 or 1119 of Regulation AB, as applicable.

 

(b)        In connection with the succession to the Servicer, the Special Servicer, any Additional Servicer, any Sub-Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian or the Trustee as servicer or trustee under this Agreement by any Person (i) into which the Servicer, the Special Servicer, any Additional Servicer, any Sub-Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian or the Trustee, as the case may be, may be merged or consolidated, or (ii) which may be appointed as a successor to the Servicer, the Special Servicer, any Additional Servicer, any Sub-Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian or the Trustee, as the case may be, the person removing and replacing the Servicer, the Special Servicer, any Additional Servicer, any Sub-Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall (and each of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian or the Trustee, as applicable, shall cause each Additional Servicer and each Sub-Servicer (other than any party to this Agreement) with which it has entered into a servicing relationship after the Closing Date with respect to the Whole Loan, to) provide to each Other Depositor, at least fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the effective date of such succession or appointment, as long as such disclosure prior to such effective date would not be violative of any applicable law or confidentiality agreement, otherwise no later than the first Business Day after the effective date of such succession or appointment, (x) written notice to each Other Depositor of such succession or appointment and (y) in writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to each Other Depositor, all information relating to such successor reasonably requested by any Other Depositor so that it may comply with its reporting obligation under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K as it relates to the Servicing Function with respect to any class of certificates related to an Other Securitization Trust.

 

(c)        With respect to any Companion Loan that is deposited into an Other Securitization Trust, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator shall, to the extent the out-of-pocket cost thereof (including any reasonable attorney fees) is paid or caused to be paid by the applicable party set forth below in this Section 10.2(c), take all actions reasonably requested of it to enable such Other Securitization Trust to comply with Regulation AB.  For the avoidance of doubt and without limiting the foregoing, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator shall, if requested by an Other Depositor, provide disclosure (in substantially the same form as the disclosure provided by it in the Offering Circular, to the extent

Promptly after receipt by the Certification Party of notice of the commencement of any action, such Certification Party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an Indemnifying Party hereunder, notify in writing the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof; but the omission to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to the Certification Party under this Agreement except to the extent that such omission to notify materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party.  In case any such action is brought against the Certification Party, after the Indemnifying Party has been notified of the commencement of such action, such Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate therein (at its own expense) and shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof (jointly with any other Indemnifying Party similarly notified) with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Certification Party (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and after notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Certification Party of its election to so assume the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Certification Party for any expenses subsequently incurred in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.  In any such proceeding, the Certification Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Certification Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Party and the Certification Party shall have agreed to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties and, in the case of an investigation by the Commission, any parties that are, or whose reporting materials are, the subject of such investigation) include both the Indemnifying Party and the Certification Party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them or (iii) the Indemnifying Party fails within a reasonable period of time to designate counsel that is reasonably satisfactory to the Certification Party (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).  In no event shall the Indemnifying Parties be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) in any one jurisdiction separate from their own counsel for the Certification Party in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances.  An Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent.  However, if settled with such consent, the Indemnifying Party shall indemnify the Certification Party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is otherwise required to do so under this Agreement.  If an Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any proceeding, it shall be entitled to settle such proceeding with the consent of the Certification Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) or, if such settlement (i) provides for an unconditional release of the Certification Party in connection with all matters relating to the proceeding that have been asserted against the Certification Party in such proceeding by the other parties to such settlement and (ii) does not


 






     216


     


    

 


require an admission of fault by the Certification Party, without the consent of the Certification Party.

 

In addition, if any Companion Loan is securitized, the Depositor shall be responsible for fees, costs and expenses of the Trustee (to the extent that it is not acting as the Servicer), the Certificate Administrator and the Custodian in connection with such parties providing the information and reports described in Sections 10.4, 10.5, 10.6, 10.7, 10.8, 10.9 and 10.10, in such amounts to be mutually agreed upon by such parties. None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian shall be required to provide the information or reports described in Sections 10.4, 10.5, 10.6, 10.7, 10.8, 10.9 and 10.10 until such time as the agreement referred to in the previous sentence is reached.

 

10.12.  
Amendments.  This Article 10, Exhibit L, Exhibit O, Exhibit P and Exhibit Q may
be amended by the written consent of all of the parties hereto, each affected Other Depositor and, if any such amendment to Exhibit
L, Exhibit O, Exhibit P or Exhibit Q adds additional reporting obligations for the Mortgage Loan Seller,
with the consent of the Mortgage Loan Seller, pursuant to Section 12.1 (without, in each case, any Opinions of Counsel,
Officer’s Certificates, Rating Agency Confirmations or the consent of any Certificateholder, notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this Agreement) for purposes of complying with Regulation AB or an Other Securitization Trust’s
Exchange Act reporting obligations.

 

10.13.  Significant
Obligors.  If an Other Depositor has notified the Servicer in writing that the Property is a “significant obligor”
(within the meaning of Item 1101(k) of Regulation AB), along with the related Relevant Distribution Date, with respect to the
related Other Securitization Trust that includes a Companion Loan, the Servicer shall, if the Servicer is in receipt of (i) the
updated financial statements of such “significant obligor” for any calendar quarter (other than the fourth calendar
quarter of any calendar year), beginning with the first calendar quarter following receipt of such notice from the Other Depositor,
or (ii) the updated financial statements of such “significant obligor” for any calendar year, beginning with the
calendar year following such notice from the Other Depositor, deliver to the Other Depositor and Other Trustee, on or prior to
the day that occurs two (2) Business Days prior to the related Significant Obligor NOI Quarterly Filing Deadline or seven (7)
Business Days prior to the related Significant Obligor NOI Yearly Filing Deadline, as applicable, (A) if such financial statement
receipt occurs twelve (12) or more Business Days prior to the related Significant Obligor NOI Quarterly Filing Deadline or seventeen
(17) or more Business Days prior to the related Significant Obligor NOI Yearly Filing Deadline, as applicable, such financial
statements of such “significant obligor”, together with the net operating income of such “significant obligor”
for the applicable period as calculated by the Servicer in accordance with CREFC® guidelines or (B) if such financial
statement receipt occurs less than twelve (12) Business Days prior to the related Significant Obligor NOI Quarterly Filing Deadline
or less than seventeen (17) Business Days prior to the related Significant Obligor NOI Yearly Filing Deadline, as applicable,
such financial statements of such “significant obligor”, together with the net operating income of such “significant
obligor” for the applicable period as reported by the related Mortgagor in such financial statement.

 



If the Servicer does not receive financial information satisfactory to comply with Item 6 of Form 10-D or Item 1112(b)(1) of Form 10-K, as the case may be, of such “significant


 






     217


     


    

 


obligor” within ten Business Days after the date such financial information is required to be delivered under the related Loan Documents, the Servicer shall notify the Other Depositor with respect to such Other Securitization Trust (or the Servicer shall cause a Sub-Servicer to notify such Other Depositor) that it has not received them.  The Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the Accepted Servicing Practices (taking into account, in addition, the ongoing reporting obligations of such Other Depositor under the Exchange Act) to obtain the periodic financial statements of the Borrower under the related Loan Documents.

 

The Servicer shall (or shall cause a Sub-Servicer to) retain written evidence of each instance in which it (or a Sub-Servicer) attempts to contact the borrower related to such “significant obligor” to obtain the required financial information and is unsuccessful and, within five (5) Business Days prior to the date in which a Form 10-D or Form 10-K, as applicable, is required to be filed by the Other Securitization, shall forward an Officer’s Certificate evidencing its attempts to obtain this information to the related Other Depositor and Other Certificate Administrator.  This Officer’s Certificate should be addressed to such Other Certificate Administrator at its corporate trust office, as specified in the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

10.14.  
Notification Requirements and Deliveries in Connection with Securitization of a Companion Loan.  Any other provision
of this Article 10 to the contrary notwithstanding, including, without limitation, any deadlines for delivery set forth
in this Article 10, in connection with the requirements contained in this Article 10 that provide for the delivery
of information and other items to, and the cooperation with, an Other Depositor of any Other Securitization Trust, a party hereunder
shall not be obligated to provide any such items to or cooperate with such Other Depositor (i) until the Other Depositor has provided
such party hereto with not less than 10 Business Days’ (or such shorter period as required for such Other Depositor to
comply with related filing obligations, provided that (a) such Other Depositor has provided written notice as soon as reasonably
practicable and, concurrently with such written notice, obtained verbal confirmation of receipt of such written notice, in each
case, in accordance with Section 12.5 of this Agreement and (b) such period shall not be less than 3 Business Days) written
notice (which shall only be required to be delivered once), except as regards the deliveries and cooperation contemplated by Section 10.8,
Section 10.9 and Section 10.10 of this Agreement, written notice that (i) such Other Securitization Trust is subject
to Regulation AB and that the Other Securitization Trust is subject to Exchange Act reporting, and (ii) specifying in reasonable
detail the information and other items not otherwise specified in this Agreement that are requested to be delivered.  Any
reasonable cost and expense of the Depositor, Servicer, Special Servicer, Trustee and Certificate Administrator in cooperating
with such Other Depositor (above and beyond their expressed duties hereunder) shall be the responsibility of such Other Depositor
or Other Securitization Trust.  The parties hereto shall have the right to confirm in good faith with such Other Depositor
as to whether applicable law requires the delivery of the items identified in this Article 10 to such Other Depositor prior
to providing any of the reports or other information required to be delivered under this Article 10 in connection therewith
and (i) upon such confirmation, the parties shall comply with the deadlines for delivery set forth in this Article 10 with
respect to such Other Securitization Trust or (ii) in the absence of such confirmation, the parties shall not be required to deliver
such items; provided that no such confirmation will be required in connection with any delivery of the items contemplated by Section 10.8,
Section 10.9 and Section 10.10 of this Agreement.  Such confirmation shall be


 






     218


     


    

 


deemed given if the related Other
Depositor provides a written statement to the effect that the Other Securitization Trust is subject to the reporting requirements
of the Exchange Act and the appropriate party hereto receives such written statement.  The parties hereunder shall also have
the right to require that such Other Depositor provide them with the contact details of such Other Depositor and any other parties
to the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

  

11.       Termination.

11.2.    Additional Termination Requirements.

 

In connection with any termination pursuant to Section 11.1 other than final payment on the Mortgage Loan, the Trust Fund shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional requirements, unless the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee have obtained at the expense of the Trust Fund, an Opinion of Counsel that any other manner of terminating either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC will not subject the Trust Fund, the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to federal income tax:

 

(i)         Within 89 days prior to the final Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall designate the first day of the 90-day liquidation period of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC which shall be specified in a notice from the Certificate Administrator to the Certificateholders as soon as practicable prior to such final Distribution Date, and shall specify such date in the final tax return of each such REMIC;

Access will be provided by the 17g-5 Information Provider to the Rating Agencies, and to the NRSROs upon receipt of an NRSRO Certification in the form of Exhibit M hereto (which certification may be submitted electronically via the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website).

The 17g-5
Information Provider shall make available, only to the Rating Agencies and NRSROs, the Rating Agency Q&A Forum and

service available on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website, where Rating Agencies and NRSROs may (i) submit

Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, relating to the reports being prepared by such parties, the Whole Loan or
the Property (each such submission, a “Rating Agency
Inquiry”), (ii) view Rating Agency Inquiries that have been previously submitted and answered, together with the

within a commercially reasonable period following receipt thereof.  Following receipt of a Rating Agency Inquiry or

Any report posted by the 17g-5 Information Provider in response to a request may be posted on a page accessible by a link on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website.  If the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer or the Special Servicer determines, in its respective sole discretion, that (i) the Rating Agency Inquiry is beyond the scope outlined above, (ii) answering any Rating Agency Inquiry would be in violation of applicable law, the Accepted Servicing Practices, this Agreement or the applicable Loan Documents, (iii) answering any Rating Agency Inquiry would or is reasonably expected to result in a waiver of an attorney-client privilege or the disclosure of attorney work product or is not otherwise advisable to answer or (iv)(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 Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and (B) the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, determines in accordance with the Accepted Servicing Practices (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, Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, under this Agreement, it shall not be required to answer such Rating Agency Inquiry and, in the case of the Certificate Administrator, Servicer or the Special Servicer, shall promptly notify the 17g-5 Information Provider, and the 17g-5 Information Provider shall post such Rating Agency Inquiry on the Rating Agency Q&A Forum and Document Request Tool together with a statement that such Rating Agency Inquiry was not answered.  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 of the Depositor, the Initial Purchaser, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee or any of their respective Affiliates and no such party shall have any responsibility or liability for the content of any such information.

13.       REMIC ADMINISTRATION

 

13.1.  
REMIC Administration.     (a)  The parties intend that each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC
shall constitute, and that the affairs of each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC shall be conducted so as to qualify
it as, a REMIC, and the provisions hereof shall be interpreted consistently with this intention.

 

(b)        The Certificate Administrator shall make or cause to be made an election on behalf of each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC to treat the segregated pool of assets constituting such REMIC as a REMIC under the Code.  Each such election shall be made on IRS Form 1066 or other appropriate federal tax or information return for the taxable year ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the Certificates are issued.

 

(c)       
The Closing Date is hereby designated as the “Startup Day“ of each
of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code. 
The “latest possible maturity date” of the Certificates and the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests for the
purposes of Section 860G(a)(1) of the Code is the Rated Final Distribution Date.

 

(d)        The Certificate Administrator shall prepare or cause to be prepared, and file or cause to be filed with the IRS, on behalf of each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC, an application for a taxpayer identification number for such REMIC on IRS Form SS-4 or obtain such number by other permissible means.  Within thirty days of the Closing Date, the Certificate Administrator shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Internal Revenue Service, on IRS Form 8811 or as otherwise may be required by the Code, the name, title and address of the Persons that Holders of the Certificates may contact for tax information relating thereto (and the Certificate Administrator shall act as the representative of each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC for this purpose), together with such additional


 






     238


     


    

 


information as may be required by such Form, and shall update such information at the time or times and in the manner required by the Code (and the Depositor agrees within (10) Business Days of the Closing Date to provide any information reasonably requested by the Certificate Administrator and necessary to make such filing).

 

(e)        The Certificate Administrator shall pay without any right of reimbursement the ordinary and usual expenses in connection with the preparation, filing and mailing of tax information reports and returns that are incurred by it in the ordinary course of its business, but extraordinary or unusual expenses, costs or liabilities incurred in connection with its tax-related duties under this Agreement, including without limitation any expenses, costs or liabilities associated with audits or any administrative or judicial proceedings with respect to the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC that involve the IRS or state tax authorities, shall be reimbursable from the Trust Fund.

 

(f)         The Certificate Administrator shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, timely furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee to sign (and the Trustee shall timely sign), and the Certificate Administrator shall timely file or cause to be timely filed all federal, state and local income or franchise or other tax and information returns for each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC as the direct representative for such REMIC.  Except as provided in Section 13.1(e), the expenses of preparing and filing such returns shall be borne by the Certificate Administrator.  The Depositor shall provide on a timely basis to the Certificate Administrator or its designee such information with respect to each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC as is in its possession, and is reasonably requested by the Certificate Administrator to enable it to perform its obligations under this subsection (f), and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to rely on such information in the performance of its obligations hereunder.

 

(g)        The Certificate Administrator shall perform on behalf of each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the responsibility of such REMIC under the Code, the REMIC Provisions, or other compliance guidance issued by the IRS or any state or local taxing authority.  Among its other duties, the Certificate Administrator shall provide (i) to the IRS or other Persons (including, but not limited to, the transferor of a Class R Certificate to a Disqualified Organization or to an agent that has acquired a Class R Certificate on behalf of a Disqualified Organization) such information as is necessary for the application of any tax relating to the transfer of a Class R Certificate to any Disqualified Organization and (ii) to the Certificateholders such information or reports as are required by the Code or REMIC Provisions.  The Depositor shall provide on a timely basis (and in no event later than 30 days after the Certificate Administrator’s request) to the Certificate Administrator or its designee such information with respect to each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC as is in its possession and is reasonably requested in writing by the Certificate Administrator to enable it to perform its obligations under this subsection (g).

 

(h)        The Certificate Administrator shall be designated as the “partnership representative” (as defined in Section 6223 of the Code) of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC, and the Class R Certificateholders, by acceptance of the Class R


 






     239


     


    

 


Certificates, agree, on behalf of themselves and all successor holders of such Class R Certificates, to such designation.

 

(i)         The Certificate Administrator shall make any elections allowed under the Code (i) to avoid the application of Section 6221 (or successor provision) to each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC and (ii) to avoid payment by the Lower-Tier REMIC, the Upper-Tier REMIC, or both, under Section 6225 of any tax, penalty, interest or other amount imposed under the Code that would otherwise be imposed on any Class R Certificateholder, past or present.  The Class R Certificateholders, by acceptance of the Class R Certificates, agree, on behalf of themselves and all successor holders of such Class R Certificates, to such elections, to the Certificate Administrator being designated as the representative of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC under Section 6223 of the Code.

 

(j)         The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Holders of the Class R Certificates, the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall perform their obligations under this Agreement and the REMIC Provisions in a manner consistent with the status of each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC as a REMIC.

 

(k)        The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, any Holder of the Class R Certificates, the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not take any action or cause either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to take any action, within their respective control and the scope of their specific respective duties under this Agreement that, under the REMIC Provisions, could reasonably be expected to (i) endanger the status of either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) unless permitted under Section 13.2(a), result in the imposition of a tax upon either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on prohibited contributions as defined in Section 860G(d) of the Code) (any such result in clause (i) or (ii), an “Adverse REMIC Event”) unless (A) the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Servicer have received a Nondisqualification Opinion (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action or of the Trust Fund if taken for the benefit of the Certificateholders) with respect to such action or (B) the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Servicer have received an opinion (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action or of the Trust Fund if taken for the benefit of the Certificateholders) to the effect that such action will not cause either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC and that no tax will actually be imposed.

 

(l)         Any and all federal, state and local taxes imposed on the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC or its assets or transactions, including, without limitation, “prohibited transaction” taxes as defined in Section 860F of the Code, and any tax on contributions imposed by Section 860G(d) of the Code, shall be paid from the Collection Account; provided that the Servicer, upon two (2) days prior written notice, shall remit from the Collection Account to the Certificate Administrator the amount of any such tax that the Certificate Administrator notifies the Servicer is due; provided, further, that if such taxes shall have been imposed on account of the willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence of any party hereto, or in connection with the breach of any representation or warranty made by any party hereto in this Agreement, then such taxes shall be paid by such party.

 

 



     240


     


    



 

(m)       The Certificate Administrator shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books and records with respect to the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC on a calendar year and on an accrual basis.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Loan Documents (but subject to Section 1.3), all amounts collected on the Mortgage Loan shall, for federal income tax purposes, be allocated first to interest due and payable on the Mortgage Loan (including interest on overdue interest) other than Default Interest.  The books and records must be sufficient concerning the nature and amount of the investments of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC to show that such REMIC has complied with the REMIC Provisions.

 

(n)        None of the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Servicer or the Special Servicer shall enter into any arrangement by which either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC will receive a fee or other compensation for services.

 

(o)        In order to enable the Certificate Administrator to perform its duties as set forth herein, the Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Certificate Administrator within 10 days after the Closing Date, all information or data that the Certificate Administrator reasonably determines to be relevant for tax purposes on the valuations and offering prices of the Certificates, including, without limitation, the yield, issue prices, pricing prepayment assumption and projected cash flows of the Certificates and the Class R Certificates, as applicable, and the projected cash flows on the Mortgage Loan.  Thereafter, the Depositor, the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall provide to the Certificate Administrator, promptly upon request therefor, any such additional information or data that the Certificate Administrator may, from time to time, reasonably request in order to enable the Certificate Administrator to perform its duties as set forth herein.  The Certificate Administrator is hereby directed to use any and all such information or data provided by the Depositor, the Servicer and the Special Servicer in the preparation of all federal, state or local income, franchise or other tax and information returns and reports for each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC to Certificateholders as required herein.  The Depositor hereby indemnifies the Certificate Administrator for any losses, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses of the Certificate Administrator arising from any errors or miscalculations of the Certificate Administrator pursuant to this Section 13.1 that result from any failure of the Depositor to provide, or to cause to be provided, accurate information or data to the Certificate Administrator (but not resulting from the methodology employed by the Certificate Administrator) on a timely basis and such indemnifications shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the termination of the Certificate Administrator.

 

The Certificate Administrator agrees that all such information or data so obtained by it shall be regarded as confidential information and agrees that it shall use its best reasonable efforts to retain in confidence, and shall ensure that its officers, employees and representatives retain in confidence, and shall not disclose, without the prior written consent of the Depositor, any or all of such information or data, or make any use whatsoever (other than for the purposes contemplated by this Agreement) of any such information or data without the prior written consent of the Depositor, unless such information is generally available to the public (other than as a result of a breach of this Section 13.1) or is required by law or applicable regulations to be disclosed.

 

 



     241


     


    



 

The Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for obtaining a tax identification number for any REMIC specified herein, and shall be responsible for the preparation of the related IRS Form W-9, if such form is requested.  The Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the information contained therein, and is hereby directed to execute such IRS Form W-9; provided, the Certificate Administrator shall also be directed to execute such IRS Form W-9 (in lieu of the Trustee) if permitted by IRS regulations.

 

13.2.  Foreclosed
Property.  (a)  The parties hereto acknowledge and understand that if the Trust Fund were to acquire the Property
as Foreclosed Property and were to own and operate such Property in a manner consistent with the manner in which such Property
is currently owned and operated by the Borrower, through a Successor Manager, some portion or all of the income derived in the
Lower-Tier REMIC from such Foreclosed Property may be considered “net income from foreclosure property” for purposes
of Section 860G(c) of the Code and subject to tax at the highest corporate income tax rate.

 

In determining whether to acquire and hold any Foreclosed Property, the Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trust Fund hereunder, shall take these circumstances into account and shall only acquire any such Foreclosed Property if it determines, in its reasonable judgment (after, consultation with counsel, at the expense of the Trust Fund), that either (i) there is a commercially feasible alternative method of administering such Foreclosed Property that would not result in such tax, e.g., a net lease that results in Rents from Real Property or (ii) the likely recovery with respect to operating the Foreclosed Property on behalf of the Trust Fund, after taking into account any such taxes that might be imposed on either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC, will exceed the likely recovery to the Trust Fund if the Trust Fund were to net lease the Foreclosed Property or were not to acquire and hold the Foreclosed Property.  If the Trust Fund acquires any Foreclosed Property, the Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trust Fund, if the Manager would not be considered an Independent Contractor, shall either renegotiate the Management Agreement or replace the Manager with a Successor Manager (as appropriate and to the extent permitted under such Management Agreement) so that the Foreclosed Property would be considered to be operated by an Independent Contractor.  If, after making the foregoing reasonable efforts, the Special Servicer determines that it is in the best interests of Certificateholders on a net after-tax basis to operate the Foreclosed Property in a manner such that the Lower-Tier REMIC or Upper-Tier REMIC shall receive, based upon an Opinion of Counsel, “net income from foreclosure property” under the REMIC Provisions, the Special Servicer shall maintain or cause to be maintained such records of income and expense as to enable such amounts to be computed accurately, and shall pay or retain or cause to be paid or retained from Foreclosure Proceeds such amounts as are necessary to pay such tax or, to the extent such amounts are insufficient, from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.4(c)(xii).

 

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Special Servicer shall not, to the extent within its power:

 

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

 





     242


     


    

 

 

(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 the Foreclosed Property, other than the completion of a building or other improvement thereon, and then only if more than ten percent of the construction of such building or other improvements was completed before default on the Mortgage Loan became imminent, all within the meaning of Section 856(e)(4)(B) of the Code; or

 

(iv)   Directly Operate, other than through an Independent Contractor, or allow any other Person to Directly Operate, other than through the Manager or an Independent Contractor, the Foreclosed Property on any date more than 90 days after its acquisition date.

 

(b)        The Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trust Fund hereunder, shall make reasonable efforts to sell the Foreclosed Property for its fair market value in accordance with Section 3.15.  In any event, however, the Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trust Fund hereunder, shall dispose of any Foreclosed Property as soon as is practicable but in no event later than the close of the third calendar year following the year in which the Acquisition Date occurs unless the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund, has received (or has not been denied) an extension of time (an “Extension”) by the Internal Revenue Service to sell such Foreclosed Property or an opinion of counsel to the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of the Foreclosed Property for an additional specified period will neither result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” of the Trust Fund as defined in Section 860F of the Code, nor cause the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates are outstanding, in which event such period shall be extended by such additional specified period, with the expenses of obtaining any such extension of time being an expense of the Trust Fund.  If the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund, has received (or has not been denied) such Extension, then the Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trust Fund hereunder, shall continue to attempt to sell the Foreclosed Property for its fair market value for such longer period as such Extension permits (the “Extended Period”).  If the Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trust Fund, has not received such an Extension and the Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trust Fund hereunder, is unable to sell the Foreclosed Property, within the foregoing period or if the Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trust Fund hereunder, has received such an Extension, and the Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trust Fund hereunder, is unable to sell the Foreclosed Property within the Extended Period, the Special Servicer shall, before the end of the above-referenced period or the Extended Period, as the case may be, auction the Foreclosed Property to the highest bidder (which may be the Special Servicer) in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices.

 

(c)        Within 30 days of the sale of a Foreclosed Property, the Special Servicer shall provide to each of the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee a statement of accounting for the Foreclosed Property, including, without limitation, (i) the date the applicable Property was acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, (ii) the date of disposition of such Foreclosed Property, (iii) the gross sale price and related selling and other expenses, (iv) accrued interest calculated from the date of acquisition to the disposition date, and (v) such other information as the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee may reasonably request.

 

 



     243


     


    



 

13.3.  Prohibited
Transactions and Activities.  The Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund, shall not permit the sale or disposition
of the Mortgage Loan at a time when the Mortgage Loan is not the subject of a breach of a representation or is not in default
or default with respect thereto is not reasonably foreseeable (except in a disposition pursuant to (i) the bankruptcy or
insolvency of the Lower-Tier REMIC or (ii) the termination of the Lower-Tier REMIC in a “qualified liquidation”
as defined in Section 860F(a)(4) of the Code), nor acquire any assets for either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC
(other than Foreclosed Property), nor sell or dispose of any investments in the Collection Account or Distribution Account for
gain, nor receive any amount representing a fee or other compensation for services, nor accept any contributions to either the
Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC (other than a cash contribution during the three-month period beginning on the Startup
Day), unless it has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the Person requesting it to take such action) to the effect
that such disposition, acquisition, substitution or acceptance will not (a) affect adversely the status of either the Lower-Tier
REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC as a REMIC, or of the Certificates as representing regular interests therein, (b) affect the
distribution of interest or principal on the Regular Certificates, (c) result in the encumbrance of the assets transferred
or assigned to either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC (except pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement), or (d) cause
either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to be subject to a tax on “prohibited transactions” or “prohibited
contributions” pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.

 

13.4. Indemnification
with Respect to Certain Taxes and Loss of REMIC Status.  (a)  If either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier
REMIC fails to qualify as a REMIC, loses its status as a REMIC, or incurs state or local taxes, or a tax as a result of a prohibited
transaction or contribution subject to taxation under the REMIC Provisions due to the willful misconduct, bad faith or negligent
performance by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator of its duties and obligations specifically set forth herein, or by
reason of the Trustee’s or the Certificate Administrator’s negligent disregard of its obligations and duties thereunder,
the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall indemnify the Trust against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities
or expenses (“Losses”) resulting therefrom; provided, that the Trustee
or the Certificate Administrator shall not be liable for any such Losses attributable to the action or inaction of the Servicer,
the Special Servicer, the Depositor, or the Holders of the Class R Certificates nor for any such Losses resulting from misinformation
provided by the Holders of the Class R Certificates, the Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Depositor, on which the Trustee
or the Certificate Administrator has relied.  The foregoing shall not be deemed to limit or restrict the rights and remedies
of successor Holders of the Class R Certificates at law or in equity.

 

If either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC fails to qualify as a REMIC, loses its status as a REMIC, or incurs state or local taxes, or a tax as a result of a prohibited transaction or contribution subject to taxation under the REMIC Provisions due to the willful misconduct, bad faith or negligent performance of the Servicer or the Special Servicer in the performance of its duties and obligations set forth herein, or by reason of the Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s negligent disregard of its obligations and duties thereunder, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall indemnify the Trust against any and all losses resulting therefrom; provided, that the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall not be liable for any such losses attributable to the action or inaction of the Trustee, the

Depositor, the Holders of the Class R Certificates nor for any such losses resulting from misinformation provided by the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor or the Holders of the Class R Certificates on which the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, has relied.  The foregoing shall not be deemed to limit or restrict the rights and remedies of any successor Holders of the Class R Certificates at law or in equity.

below). The Holder of this Certificate,
by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Trust and Servicing Agreement and is
bound thereby. In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Trust and Servicing
Agreement, the terms of the Trust and Servicing Agreement shall govern.


 


This Certificate is issued
pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Trust and Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2020 (the “Trust
and Servicing Agreement”), between Morgan Stanley Capital I Inc., as Depositor, KeyBank National Association, as Servicer
and Special Servicer, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, Certificate Administrator and Custodian. To the extent
not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.


 


This Certificate is 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 Trust and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute, on the 4th Business Day after the
Determination Date, commencing in June 2020 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose
name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based
on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then
distributable, if any, allocable to the Class C Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Trust
and Servicing Agreement.


 


All distributions will
be made to the Persons entitled thereto by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder
at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor provided that the Certificate
Administrator has received appropriate wire transfer instructions therefrom, or by check by first class mail to the address set
forth therefor in the Certificate Register if wiring instructions have not been received at least five (5) Business Days prior
to the Distribution Date. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and
surrender of such Certificate at the location that is specified by the Certificate Administrator in the notice to Certificateholders
of such final distribution.


 


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


 


As provided in the Trust
and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer
of any Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated


 






    Exhibit A-3-5


     


    

 


transferee
or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.


 


Prior to due presentation
of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer,
the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer or the
Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the
purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Trust and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and
none of the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent
of the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected
by any notice to the contrary; provided, however, that to the extent that a party to the Trust and Servicing 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 the Trust and Servicing Agreement shall distribute such report, statement or
other information to such beneficial owner (or prospective transferee).


 


The Trust and Servicing
Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations
of the Certificateholders under the Trust and Servicing Agreement at any 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. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder
and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or
in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon the Certificate. The Trust and Servicing Agreement also permits
the amendment thereof, in certain circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.


 


The Trust and Servicing
Agreement provides that the respective obligations and responsibilities of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the
Certificate Administrator and the Trustee created thereby (other than the obligation to make certain payments to the Companion
Loan Holders, other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make certain payments to Certificateholders after the
final Distribution Date and other than the indemnification rights and obligations of the parties thereto) shall terminate upon
the last action required to be taken by the Certificate Administrator on the final Distribution Date pursuant to Article 11 of
the Trust and Servicing Agreement following the later of (i) the final payment on the Certificates or (ii) the liquidation
of the Mortgage Loan (including, without limitation, the sale of the Mortgage Loan pursuant to the Trust and Servicing Agreement,
as applicable) or the liquidation or abandonment of the Property and all other Collateral for the Mortgage Loan; provided,
that in no event shall the Trust continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants
of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James’s, living on the date of execution
of the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

below). The Holder of this Certificate,
by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Trust and Servicing Agreement and is
bound thereby. In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Trust and Servicing
Agreement, the terms of the Trust and Servicing Agreement shall govern.


 


This Certificate is issued
pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Trust and Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2020 (the “Trust
and Servicing Agreement”), between Morgan Stanley Capital I Inc., as Depositor, KeyBank National Association, as Servicer
and Special Servicer, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, Certificate Administrator and Custodian. To the extent
not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.


 


This Certificate is 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 Trust and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute, on the 4th Business Day after the
Determination Date, commencing in June 2020 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose
name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based
on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then
distributable, if any, allocable to the Class D Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Trust
and Servicing Agreement.


 


All distributions will
be made to the Persons entitled thereto by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder
at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor provided that the Certificate
Administrator has received appropriate wire transfer instructions therefrom, or by check by first class mail to the address set
forth therefor in the Certificate Register if wiring instructions have not been received at least five (5) Business Days prior
to the Distribution Date. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and
surrender of such Certificate at the location that is specified by the Certificate Administrator in the notice to Certificateholders
of such final distribution.


 


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


 


As provided in the Trust
and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer
of any Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated


 






    Exhibit A-4-5


     


    

 


transferee
or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.


 


Prior to due presentation
of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer,
the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer or the
Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the
purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Trust and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and
none of the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent
of the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected
by any notice to the contrary; provided, however, that to the extent that a party to the Trust and Servicing 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 the Trust and Servicing Agreement shall distribute such report, statement or
other information to such beneficial owner (or prospective transferee).


 


The Trust and Servicing
Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations
of the Certificateholders under the Trust and Servicing Agreement at any 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. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder
and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or
in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon the Certificate. The Trust and Servicing Agreement also permits
the amendment thereof, in certain circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.


 


The Trust and Servicing
Agreement provides that the respective obligations and responsibilities of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the
Certificate Administrator and the Trustee created thereby (other than the obligation to make certain payments to the Companion
Loan Holders, other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make certain payments to Certificateholders after the
final Distribution Date and other than the indemnification rights and obligations of the parties thereto) shall terminate upon
the last action required to be taken by the Certificate Administrator on the final Distribution Date pursuant to Article 11 of
the Trust and Servicing Agreement following the later of (i) the final payment on the Certificates or (ii) the liquidation
of the Mortgage Loan (including, without limitation, the sale of the Mortgage Loan pursuant to the Trust and Servicing Agreement,
as applicable) or the liquidation or abandonment of the Property and all other Collateral for the Mortgage Loan; provided,
that in no event shall the Trust continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants
of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James’s, living on the date of execution
of the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

This certifies that [____________]

with respect to the Class R Certificates. The Trust Fund consists primarily of one or more separate promissory notes held in trust
by the Trustee, issued by a special purpose entity and evidencing a fixed-rate mortgage loan (the “Mortgage Loan”).
The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loan is to be serviced, pursuant to the Trust and Servicing Agreement (as defined

none of the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent

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


 


The Trust and Servicing
Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations
of the Certificateholders under the Trust and Servicing Agreement at any 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. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder
and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or

Agreement provides that the respective obligations and responsibilities of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the
Certificate Administrator and the Trustee created thereby (other than the obligation to make certain payments to the Companion
Loan Holders, other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make certain payments to Certificateholders after the

This certifies that [____________]
is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate in the distributions to be made from a Trust Fund
with respect to the RR Interest. The Trust Fund consists primarily of one or more separate promissory notes held in trust by the
Trustee, issued by a special purpose entity and evidencing a fixed-rate mortgage loan (the “Mortgage Loan”).
The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loan is to be serviced, pursuant to the Trust and Servicing Agreement (as defined
below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of
the Trust and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate
and terms specified in the Trust and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Trust and Servicing Agreement shall govern.


 


This Certificate is issued
pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Trust and Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2020 (the “Trust
and Servicing Agreement”), between Morgan Stanley Capital I Inc., as Depositor, KeyBank National Association, as Servicer
and Special Servicer, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, Certificate Administrator and Custodian. To the extent
not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.


 


This Certificate is 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 Trust and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute, on the 4th Business Day after the
Determination Date, commencing


 






    Exhibit A-6-3


     


    

 


in June 2020 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose
name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based
on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then
distributable, if any, allocable to the RR Interest for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Trust and Servicing
Agreement.


 


All distributions will
be made to the Persons entitled thereto by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder
at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor provided that the Certificate
Administrator has received appropriate wire transfer instructions therefrom, or by check by first class mail to the address set
forth therefor in the Certificate Register if wiring instructions have not been received at least five (5) Business Days prior
to the Distribution Date. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and
surrender of such Certificate at the location that is specified by the Certificate Administrator in the notice to Certificateholders
of such final distribution.


 


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


 


As provided in the Trust
and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, this Certificate may only be transferred
upon receipt by the Certificate Administrator of (i) a certificate executed by the prospective Transferee in the form set forth
in the Trust and Servicing Agreement, countersigned by the Retaining Sponsor and (ii) a certificate from the prospective Transferor
in the form set forth in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.


 


Prior to due presentation
of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer,
the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer or the
Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the
purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Trust and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and
none of the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent
of the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected
by any notice to the contrary; provided, however, that to the extent that a party to the Trust and Servicing 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 the Trust and Servicing Agreement shall distribute such report, statement or
other information to such beneficial owner (or prospective transferee).


 


The Trust and Servicing
Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations
of the Certificateholders under the Trust and Servicing Agreement at any time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders
of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment


 






    Exhibit A-6-4


     


    

 


evidencing in the aggregate not less than 51% of the aggregate Percentage
Interests constituting the Class. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder
and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or
in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon the Certificate. The Trust and Servicing Agreement also permits
the amendment thereof, in certain circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.


 


The Trust and Servicing
Agreement provides that the respective obligations and responsibilities of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the
Certificate Administrator and the Trustee created thereby (other than the obligation to make certain payments to the Companion
Loan Holder, other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make certain payments to Certificateholders after the
final Distribution Date and other than the indemnification rights and obligations of the parties thereto) shall terminate upon
the last action required to be taken by the Certificate Administrator on the final Distribution Date pursuant to Article 11 of
the Trust and Servicing Agreement following the later of (i) the final payment on the Certificates or (ii) the liquidation
of the Mortgage Loan (including, without limitation, the sale of the Mortgage Loan pursuant to the Trust and Servicing Agreement,
as applicable) or the liquidation or abandonment of the Property and all other Collateral for the Mortgage Loan; provided,
that in no event shall the Trust continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants
of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James’s, living on the date of execution
of the Trust and Servicing Agreement.


 


Unless the Certificate
of Authentication on this Certificate has been executed by the Certificate Administrator or on its behalf by the Authenticating
Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Trust and Servicing Agreement or be
valid for any purpose.


 


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

2.       That
the Purchaser’s Taxpayer Identification Number is                             .


 


3.       That
the Purchaser is acquiring a Morgan Stanley Capital I Trust 2020-CNP, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2020-CNP,
Class R (the “Residual Certificate”) and, further, that the Purchaser is a Permitted Transferee (as defined

entered into between Morgan Stanley Capital I Inc., as depositor, KeyBank National Association, as Servicer and Special Servicer,

Certificate for the account of, or as agent (including as a broker, nominee, or other middleman) for, a Permitted Transferee and
has received from such person or entity an affidavit substantially in the form of this affidavit.


 


4.       That
the Purchaser historically has paid its debts as they have come due, intends to pay its debts as they come due in the future and
the Purchaser intends to pay taxes associated with holding the Residual Certificate as they become due and the Purchaser understands

6.       That
the Purchaser will not transfer the Residual Certificate to any person or entity from which the Purchaser has not received an

7.       That

and attached hereto is an Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-9 (or successor form).


 


8.       That
the Purchaser agrees to such amendments of the Trust and Servicing Agreement as may be required to further effectuate the restrictions
on transfer of the Residual Certificate to a “disqualified organization,” an agent thereof, or a person that does
not satisfy the requirements of paragraph 4, paragraph 7 and paragraph 11 hereof. For the purposes hereof, a “disqualified
organization” is any of the following: (a) the United States, a State, or any agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing

or (e) any other person so designated by the Certificate Registrar based upon an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that any transfer

at any time that the Certificates are outstanding. The terms “United States,” “State” and “International
Organization” have the meanings set forth in Section 7701 of the Code or successor provisions.


 


9.       The
Purchaser agrees (a) that the Certificate Administrator shall make any elections allowed to avoid (i) the application of Code
Section 6221 to the Trust REMIC and (ii) payment by the Trust REMIC under Code Section 6225 of any tax, penalty, interest or other
amount imposed under the Code that would otherwise be imposed on the holders of the Residual Certificates and (b) to the Certificate
Administrator being designated pursuant to Section 13.1(h) of the Trust and Servicing Agreement as the “partnership representative”
of the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC under Section 6223 of the Code.


 


10.       The
Purchaser agrees to be bound by and to abide by the provisions of Section 5.3 of the Trust and Servicing Agreement concerning
registration of the transfer and exchange of the Residual Certificate.


 


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


 


12.       Check
the applicable paragraph:


 






     Exhibit J-1-2 


     


    

 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


For
purposes of this calculation, (i) the Purchaser is assumed to pay tax at the rate currently specified in Code Section 11(b) (but
the tax rate in Code Section 55(b)(1)(B) may be used in lieu of the rate specified in Code Section 11(b) if the Purchaser has
been subject to the alternative minimum tax under Code Section 55 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 Code Section 1274(d) for the month of the transfer and the compounding period
used by the Purchaser.


 


☐       The
transfer of the Residual Certificate complies with U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 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 Residual 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 Residual Certificate only to another “eligible corporation,” as defined in U.S. Treasury
Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), in a transaction that satisfies the requirements of Section 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i), (ii) and
(iii) and Section 1.860E-1(c)(5) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations; and


 


(iv)       the
Purchaser determined the consideration paid to it to acquire the Residual 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.

		2.	The

                                         any such transfer if it knows or believes that any representation contained in such certificate
                                         is false.



 


		3.	The
                                         transfer is in compliance with the European Risk Retention Agreement, dated and effective

                                         as Trustee on behalf of the holders of the Certificates pursuant to the Trust and Servicing
                                         Agreement, and as Certificate Administrator under the Trust and Servicing Agreement,
                                         and the Transferor has satisfied all requirements pursuant to that agreement.

                                         its acquisition of the RR Interest, (a) all of the conditions of Parts I and III of PTCE
                                         95-60 will be satisfied with respect to the acquisition of the RR Interest and (b) the
                                         transfer of the RR Interest will be effected through Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC or
                                         an affiliate thereof.



 


		5.	Check

☐      The
transfer will occur during the RR Interest Transfer Restriction Period, and the Purchaser certifies, represents and warrants to
each of the addressees hereto, that:


 


		A.	It

                                         of the Transferor (a “Majority-Owned Affiliate”).



 


		B.	It
                                         is not acquiring the RR Interest as a nominee, trustee or agent for any person that is
                                         not a Majority-Owned Affiliate, and that for so long as it retains its interest in the
                                         RR Interest, it will remain a Majority-Owned Affiliate.



 


		C.	It
                                         will be bound by the U.S. Credit Risk Retention Agreement, between Morgan Stanley Mortgage

                                         upon advice of counsel to constitute a reasonable arrangement to

to the disclosure of the Confidential Information, at the sole expense of such Furnishing Entity. If a protective order or other
remedy is not obtained or if the relevant Furnishing Entity waives compliance with the provisions of this Confidentiality Agreement

	 	Re:	Morgan
    Stanley Capital I Trust 2020-CNP, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2020-CNP (the “Certificates”)


 


Ladies
and Gentlemen:


 


This
letter is delivered to you in connection with the transfer by _________________ (the “Transferor”) to _________________
(the “Transferee”) of the Excess Servicing Fee Right established under the Trust and Servicing Agreement, dated
as of May 1, 2020 (the “Trust and Servicing Agreement”), and executed in connection with the above-referenced
transaction. All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Trust
and Servicing Agreement. The Transferee hereby certifies, represents and warrants to you, as the Depositor and the Servicer, that:


 


1.          The
Transferee is acquiring the right to receive Excess Servicing Fees with respect to the Mortgage Loan for which [___] is the applicable
Servicer (the “Excess Servicing Fee Right”) for its own account for investment and not with a view to or for
sale or transfer in connection with any distribution thereof, in whole or in part, in any manner which would violate the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any applicable state securities laws.


 






    Exhibit T-2-1


     


    

 


2.          The
Transferee understands that (a) the Excess Servicing Fee Right has not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act
or registered or qualified under any applicable state securities laws, (b) none of the Depositor, the Trustee, Certificate Administrator
or the Certificate Registrar is obligated so to register or qualify the Excess Servicing Fee Right, and (c) the Excess Servicing
Fee Right may not be resold or transferred unless it is (i) registered pursuant to the Securities Act and registered or qualified
pursuant to any applicable state securities laws or (ii) sold or transferred in transactions which are exempt from such registration
and qualification and (A) the Depositor has received a certificate from the prospective transferor substantially in the form attached
as Exhibit T-1 to the Trust and Servicing Agreement, and (B) each of the Servicer and the Depositor have received a certificate
from the prospective transferee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit T-2 to the Trust and Servicing Agreement.


 


3.          The
Transferee understands that it may not sell or otherwise transfer the Excess Servicing Fee Right or any interest therein except
in compliance with the provisions of Section 3.17 of the Trust and Servicing Agreement, which provisions it has carefully reviewed.


 


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


 


5.          The
Transferee has been furnished with all information regarding (a) the Depositor, (b) the Excess Servicing Fee Right and any payments
thereon, (c) the Trust and Servicing Agreement and the Trust Fund created pursuant thereto, (d) the nature, performance and servicing
of the Mortgage Loan, and (e) all related matters that it has requested.


 


6.          The
Transferee is (a) a “qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act or (b)
an “accredited investor” as defined in any of paragraphs (1), (2), (3) and (7) of Rule 501(a) under the Securities
Act or an entity in which all of the equity owners come within such paragraphs. The Transferee has such knowledge and experience
in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of


 






    Exhibit T-2-2


     


    

 


an
investment in the Excess Servicing Fee Right; the Transferee has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered
necessary to make an informed investment decision; and the Transferee is able to bear the economic risks of such investment and
can afford a complete loss of such investment.


 


7.          The
Transferee agrees (i) to keep all information relating to the Trust, the Trust Fund and the parties to the Trust and Servicing
Agreement, and made available to it, confidential, (ii) not to use or disclose such information in any manner which could result
in a violation of any provision of the Securities Act or would require registration of the Excess Servicing Fee Right or any Certificate
pursuant to the Securities Act, and (iii) not to disclose such information, and to cause its officers, directors, partners, employees,
agents or representatives not to disclose such information, in any manner whatsoever, in whole or in part, to any other Person
other than such holder’s auditors, legal counsel and regulators, except to the extent such disclosure is required by law,
court order or other legal requirement or to the extent such information is of public knowledge at the time of disclosure by such
holder or has become generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by such holder; provided, however,
that such holder may provide all or any part of such information to any other Person who is contemplating an acquisition of the
Excess Servicing Fee Right if, and only if, such Person (x) confirms in writing such prospective acquisition and (y) agrees in
writing to keep such information confidential, not to use or disclose such information in any manner which could result in a violation
of any provision of the Securities Act or would require registration of the Excess Servicing Fee Right or any Certificates pursuant
to the Securities Act and not to disclose such information, and to cause its officers, directors, partners, employees, agents
or representatives not to disclose such information, in any manner whatsoever, in whole or in part, to any other Person other
than such Persons’ auditors, legal counsel and regulators.


 


8.          The
Transferee acknowledges that the holder of the Excess Servicing Fee Right shall not have any rights under the Trust and Servicing
Agreement except as set forth in Section 3.17 of the Trust and Servicing Agreement, and that the Excess Servicing Fee Rate may
be reduced to the extent provided in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

Ladies
and Gentlemen:


 


Reference
is hereby made to that certain Trust and Servicing Agreement dated as of May 1, 2020 (the “Trust and Servicing Agreement”),
and executed in connection with the above-referenced transaction. Defined terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have
the meanings set forth in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.


 


KeyBank
National Association (“KeyBank”) understands that [____] (the “Company”) is requesting certain
confidential or non-public information relating to the Mortgage Loan to which the Company has continuing rights as a Certificateholder.
The Company is requesting such information for the purpose of analyzing asset performance and evaluating any continuing rights
the Company may have under the Trust (the “Permitted Purpose”). The Company agrees that the Permitted Purpose
shall not include the use or disclosure of the Confidential Information (as defined below) in any manner that violates any applicable
law, the Trust and Servicing Agreement or the related mortgage loan documents.


 


KeyBank
will provide the Company with certain confidential, non-public servicing information (the “Confidential Information”)
pertaining to the Mortgage Loan and the related Mortgaged Property and borrowers. The Company acknowledges that the Confidential
Information (a) includes or may be based upon information provided to KeyBank by third parties, (b) may not have been verified
by KeyBank, and (c) may be incomplete or contain inaccuracies. The Company agrees that KeyBank, the [“Servicer”/”Special
Servicer”] (as defined in the Trust and Servicing Agreement) and its respective Representatives (as defined below) shall
not have any liability to the Company or its Representatives resulting from (x) any inaccuracies or omissions in the Confidential
Information, (y) any use of the Confidential Information, or (z) KeyBank’s failure or inability to provide the Confidential
Information to the Company for any reason. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following will not constitute “Confidential
Information” for purposes of this letter agreement: (a) information that was already in Company’s possession prior
to its receipt from KeyBank; (b) information that is obtained by Company from a third person who, insofar as is known to Company,
is not prohibited from transmitting the information to Company by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation to KeyBank; (c)
information that is or


 






    Exhibit X-1


     


    

 





[_____]

becomes
publicly available through no fault of Company; and (d) information that is independently developed by Company. The term “Representatives”
with respect to any entity shall mean the officers, directors, general partners, employees, agents, affiliates, auditors and legal
counsel (which may be internal counsel) of that entity.


 


The
Company may have access to the Confidential Information through (at KeyBank’s election): (i) responses to reasonable written
inquiries received from the Company, (ii) conference calls conducted on a reasonably scheduled basis with KeyBank’s surveillance
group, or (iii) direct on-line access (read-only capacity) to the information available on the applicable [____] system or any
successor or replacement system (“System”). KeyBank may cease or defer providing the Company with Confidential
Information in the event that (a) the Company or its Representatives violate any provision hereof, or (b) KeyBank determines (in
its sole discretion) that such termination is necessary for any reason, including its determination that such action is required
pursuant to the terms of the Trust and Servicing Agreement, the related Mortgage Loan documents, or any applicable law. KeyBank
shall cease to provide the Company with Confidential Information if KeyBank has actual knowledge that the Company or its Representatives
are affiliates of any borrower under the Mortgage Loan documents and KeyBank determines that the provision, notice or access to
such Confidential Information would violate the accepted servicing practices or servicing standards as defined in the Trust and
Servicing Agreement. The Company’s obligations and the restrictions applicable to the protection of the Confidential Information
hereunder shall survive the termination of the Company’s access to the Confidential Information. KeyBank’s remedies
hereunder, at law or at equity, are cumulative and may be combined.


 


The
Company agrees that it will not, and it shall not permit its Representatives, to disclose the Confidential Information in any
manner whatsoever to any other person or entity, other than its Representatives (but only to the extent necessary to accomplish
the Permitted Purpose) who have a need to know the information, or as otherwise required by applicable law, court order or any
governmental agency or regulator. The Company acknowledges (i) its obligations under the U.S. federal securities laws, and (ii)
that any disclosure of the Confidential Information by it or its Representatives for any purpose other than a Permitted Purpose,
in addition to being a breach of this letter agreement, may constitute a violation of federal and state securities laws. The Company
will take reasonable measures to ensure that each Representative is advised of this letter agreement and agrees to keep the Confidential
Information confidential. The Company shall be liable for any breach of this letter agreement by its Representatives. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Company may subsequently provide all or any part of such Confidential Information to any other person or entity
that holds or is contemplating the purchase of any Certificate or interest therein, but only if such person or entity confirms
such ownership interest or prospective ownership interest and provided that, prior to the delivery of such Confidential
Information, such persons shall have executed and delivered to the Company an agreement that is substantially similar in form
and substance to this agreement.


 


This
letter agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without the application
of conflict of laws principles. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, KeyBank intends at all times to comply with the
terms and provisions of the Trust and Servicing Agreement and nothing in this letter agreement should be construed to limit or
qualify any of KeyBank’s rights or obligations under the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

This
letter agreement may be executed in counterparts and by facsimile/Portable Document Format (PDF); each such counterpart shall
be deemed to be an original instrument, and all such counterparts together shall constitute one agreement.


 


This
agreement shall terminate with respect to the information received by the Company one year after the Company receives such information
or ceases to be a Certificateholder. Company agrees that this letter agreement supersedes and replaces and survives any click-through
agreement regarding confidentiality of Confidential Information agreed to in connection with accessing the System whether agreed
to in accessing the System before or after signing this letter agreement.
