THIS TRUST AND SERVICING AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is dated as of February 26, 2020 among Barclays Commercial Mortgage Securities LLC, as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Servicer, Situs Holdings, LLC, as Special Servicer, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator and Custodian.

 

INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT

 

Terms not defined in this Introductory Statement shall have the meanings specified in Article 1 hereof.

 

Barclays Capital
Real Estate Inc. (in such capacity, “BCREI”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (in such capacity,
“Wells Fargo Bank”) and Goldman Sachs Bank USA (in such capacity, “GS Bank” and
together with BCREI and Wells Fargo Bank, the “Originators”) co-originated a ten-year fixed rate,
interest-only mortgage loan (the “Mortgage Loan”) pursuant to a Loan Agreement, dated as of the
Origination Date (the “Mortgage Loan Agreement”), among BCREI, Wells
Fargo Bank, GS Bank and Knickerbocker Properties, Inc. XXXIII, as borrower (the “Borrower”).

 

The Mortgage Loan consists of (a) a loan that has an unpaid principal balance as of the Closing Date of $482,000,000 (the “Trust Loan”) and is evidenced by the promissory notes designated as Note A-3, Note A-5, Note A-7, Note A-8, Note A-9, Note A-10, Note B-1, Note B-2 and Note B-3 (as the same may hereafter be amended, restated, replaced, extended, renewed, supplemented, consolidated, severed, split or otherwise modified, the “Trust Notes”) and (b) loans that have an aggregate unpaid principal balance as of the Closing Date of $200,000,000 (the “Companion Loans”) and are evidenced by the promissory notes designated as Note A-1, Note A-2, Note A-4 and Note A-6 (as the same may hereafter be amended, restated, replaced, extended, renewed, supplemented, consolidated, severed, split or otherwise modified, the “Companion Loan Notes”). The Trust Notes and the Companion Loan Notes are collectively referred to herein as the “Notes”.

 

The portion of the Trust Loan co-originated by GS Bank will be acquired on or before the Closing Date by Goldman Sachs Mortgage Company (“GSMC”). The Trust Loan was sold and assigned by BCREI, Wells Fargo Bank and GSMC (collectively, the “Trust Loan Sellers”) to the Depositor pursuant to a trust loan purchase and sale agreement, dated as of February 26, 2020 (the “Trust Loan Purchase Agreement”), among the Trust Loan Sellers and the Depositor. The Companion Loans are not part of the Trust Fund. The relative rights of the respective lenders in respect of the Mortgage Loan are set forth in a co-lender agreement dated as of February 26, 2020 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Co-Lender Agreement”), among the holders of the Trust Notes and the holders of the Companion Loan Notes. From and after the Closing Date, the entire Mortgage Loan is to be serviced and administered in accordance with this Agreement.

 

As provided for herein, the Certificate Administrator shall elect or shall cause elections to be made to treat designated portions of the Trust Fund for federal income tax purposes as two separate real estate mortgage investment conduits (the “Upper-Tier REMIC”

 

 



 

 



 

and the “Lower-Tier REMIC”and, each, a “Trust REMIC”). Each Class of Regular Certificates and the VRR Interest will represent a single Class of “regular interests” in the Upper-Tier REMIC, as further described herein. Each Class of Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests will represent a single class of “regular interests” in the Lower-Tier REMIC as further described herein. The Class R Certificates will evidence the sole Class of “residual interests” in each of the Upper-Tier REMIC and Lower-Tier REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions under federal income tax law.

 

In exchange for the Trust Loan and the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests, the Trust will issue to the Depositor the Class A, Class X-A, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E and Class F Certificates (collectively, the “Non-Retained Certificates”), the Class VRR Certificates, the Class R Certificates (together with the Non-Retained Certificates and the Class VRR Certificates, the “Certificates”) and an uncertificated VRR Interest (the “VRR Interest”), which Certificates and VRR Interest in the aggregate will evidence the entire ownership interest in the Trust. The Trust Fund consists principally of the Trust Loan, the Mortgage and the Mortgage Loan Documents (exclusive of the rights of the Companion Loan Holders thereunder) and all payments under, and proceeds of, the Trust Loan from and after the Closing Date.

 

The Depositor intends to sell the Certificates (other than the Class VRR Certificates) to the Initial Purchasers, and the Depositor intends to sell the Class VRR Certificates to Barclays Bank PLC (“Barclays Bank”) and Wells Fargo Bank, in an offering exempt from the registration requirements of the federal securities laws.

If the Depositor cannot deliver, or cause to be delivered, any of the documents and/or instruments referred to in clauses (ii)(B), (C) and (G) of Section 2.1(b) with evidence of filing or recording thereon (if intended to be recorded or filed), solely because of a delay caused by the public filing or recording office where such document or instrument has been delivered for filing or recordation, the delivery requirements of Section 2.1 shall be deemed to have been satisfied on a provisional basis as of the Delivery Date as to such non-delivered document or instrument, and such non-delivered document or instrument shall be deemed to have been included in the Mortgage File, if a duplicate original or a photocopy of such non-delivered document or instrument (certified by the applicable public filing or recording office, the applicable title insurance company or the Trust Loan Sellers to be a true and complete copy of

The Servicer and the Special Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loan in accordance with applicable state and federal law. At the written request of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, accompanied by the form of power of attorney or other documents being requested, the Trustee shall furnish to the Servicer or the Special Servicer any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable such Servicer or the Special Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder, and the Trustee shall not be held responsible (and shall be indemnified by the Servicer or the Special Servicer) for any negligence or misuse by the Servicer or the Special Servicer in its uses of any such powers of attorney or other document. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not without the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s prior written consent:

 

 



    -79-


     

    

 

(i) initiate any action, suit or proceeding solely under the Trustee’s or the Certificate Administrator’s name without indicating the representative capacity of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, or (ii) take any action with the intent to, and which actually does cause, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator to be registered to do business in any state.

 

The liability of each of the Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, for actions and omissions in its capacity as Servicer and the Special Servicer, respectively, hereunder is limited as provided herein (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 6.3). Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as an express or implied guarantee by the Servicer or the Special Servicer of the collectibility of the Trust Loan and the Companion Loans. In connection with any ground lease, the Servicer shall promptly, and in any event within 60 days following the later of receipt of the applicable ground lease and the Closing Date, notify the related ground lessor of the transfer of the Trust Loan to the Trust Fund pursuant to this Agreement and inform such ground lessor that any notices of default under such ground lease should thereafter be forwarded to the Servicer.

 

Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, acting in any particular capacity hereunder will not be deemed to be imputed with knowledge of (a) Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, acting in a capacity that is unrelated to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (b) Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, acting in any other capacity hereunder, except, in the case of either clause (a) or clause (b), where some or all of the obligations performed in such capacities are performed by one or more employees within the same group or division of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, or where the groups or divisions responsible for performing the obligations in such capacities have one or more of the same Responsible Officers; provided, however, the knowledge of employees performing solely special servicing functions shall not be imputed to employees performing solely master servicing functions, and the knowledge of employees performing solely master servicing functions shall not be imputed to employees performing solely special servicing functions.

 

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

Management Account, any Reserve Account or the Distribution Account, and actions taken by the sub-servicer shall be deemed to be actions of the Servicer. The Servicer shall notify the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Depositor in writing promptly upon the appointment of any sub-servicer and promptly furnish the Trustee, upon its request, with a copy of the sub-servicing agreement. No sub-servicer shall be permitted to enter into any sub-servicing agreement with other sub-servicers without the prior written consent of the Servicer.

 

(b)           Notwithstanding any sub-servicing agreement, the Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Trustee, the Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owner for the servicing and administering of the Trust Loan and the Companion Loans in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.1 without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such sub-servicing agreement, or by virtue of indemnification from a sub-servicer, and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loan.

 

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

 

(d)           Any sub-servicing agreement, and any other transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loan involving a sub-servicer, shall be deemed to be between the Servicer and such sub-servicer alone, and the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Trust, the Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owner 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, the Special Servicer or the Depositor to indemnify any such sub-servicer. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Servicer and the Special Servicer are permitted, at their own expense, or to the extent that a particular expense is provided herein to be an Advance or a Trust Fund Expense, at the expense of the Trust, to utilize agents or attorneys typically used by servicers of mortgage loans underlying commercial mortgage-backed securities in performing each of their obligations under this Agreement (including but not limited to inspectors, appraisers, engineers 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 as required hereby.

The Special Servicer shall deposit into the Foreclosed Property Account within two (2) Business Days of receipt all funds collected and received in connection with the operation or ownership of the Foreclosed Property. On or before the last day of each Collection Period, the Special Servicer shall withdraw the funds in the Foreclosed Property Account, net of certain expenses and/or reserves (the amount of such expenses and/or reserves as determined in the Special Servicer’s reasonable discretion), and deposit them into the Collection Account in accordance with Section 3.4(a). The Special Servicer shall notify the Certificate Administrator in writing of the location and account number of the Foreclosed Property Account and shall notify the Certificate Administrator in writing prior to any subsequent change thereof.

 

3.7.          Appraisal Reductions.

 

(a)          
Within 60 days after the occurrence of an Appraisal Reduction Event with respect to the Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer
shall (i) notify the Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator and, so long as no Consultation Termination
Event has occurred, the Directing Holder, of such occurrence of an Appraisal Reduction Event, (ii) order (which order shall
be placed within 30 days of the occurrence of the Appraisal Reduction Event) and use efforts consistent with Accepted
Servicing Practices to obtain an Appraisal of the Property owned by the Borrower unless an Appraisal was performed within
nine 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 since the date of such Appraisal, in which case such Appraisal with respect to the
Property shall be used by the Special Servicer, (iii) determine on the basis of the applicable Appraisal, and receipt of
information reasonably requested by the Special Servicer from the Servicer necessary to calculate the Appraisal Reduction
Amount whether there exists any Appraisal Reduction Amount and (iv) allocate the Appraisal Reduction Amount to the Trust Loan
and the Companion Loans and give reasonably prompt notice of such Appraisal Reduction Amount, the Trust Appraisal Reduction
Amount and the portion of the Appraisal Reduction Amount allocated to the Companion Loans to the Companion Loan Holder (or,
in the case of a Companion Loan that is part of an Other Securitization Trust, the master servicer, special servicer and
trustee with respect to such Other Securitization Trust), the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator (to the extent not
already reported to such parties on the CREFC® Reports provided by the Servicer and posted on the Certificate
Administrator’s website). The cost of obtaining such Appraisal shall be paid by the Servicer as a Property Protection
Advance or an Administrative Advance unless it would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance and in such case, as a Trust Fund
Expense. Updates of such Appraisals shall be obtained by the Special Servicer, and paid for by the Servicer as a Property
Protection Advance or an Administrative Advance (or paid for by the Trust if the Servicer determines that such Advance would
constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance) every nine (9) months for so long as an Appraisal Reduction Event exists, and the
Appraisal Reduction Amount shall be adjusted accordingly. If required in accordance with any such adjustment, each Class of
Certificates or

the VRR Interest that has been notionally reduced as a result of the Trust Appraisal Reduction Amount shall have its related Certificate Balance or VRR Interest Balance notionally restored by the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee to the extent required by such adjustment of the Trust Appraisal Reduction Amount, and there shall be a redetermination of whether a Control Termination Event has occurred. Any such Appraisal obtained under this Section shall be delivered by the Special Servicer to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, and, so long as no Consultation Termination Event has occurred, the Directing Holder, in electronic format, and the Certificate Administrator shall make such Appraisal available to Privileged Persons pursuant to Section 8.14(b). The Servicer shall provide (via electronic delivery) the Special Servicer with information in its possession that is reasonably required to calculate or recalculate any Appraisal Reduction Amount pursuant to the definition thereof, using reasonable efforts to deliver such information within four (4) Business Days of the Special Servicer’s written request (which request shall be made promptly, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days, after the Special Servicer’s receipt of the applicable Appraisal or preparation of the applicable internal valuation) provided, however, that the Special Servicer’s failure to timely make such a request shall not relieve the Servicer of its obligation to provide such information to the Special Servicer in the manner and timing set forth in this sentence. Accordingly, the Special Servicer shall not be obligated to calculate, recalculate, determine or redetermine any Appraisal Reduction Amount until such time as it receives from the Servicer the information reasonably required by the Special Servicer to make such calculation, recalculation, determination or redetermination. The Servicer shall not calculate Appraisal Reduction Amounts.

 

(b)           While any Trust Appraisal Reduction Amount (or deemed Trust Appraisal Reduction Amount pursuant to Section 3.7(e)) exists with respect 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 existence thereof (other than any deemed Trust Appraisal Reduction Amount) will be taken into account for purposes of determining the Voting Rights of certain Classes of Certificates as provided in Section 3.7(c) and (iii) except with respect to any deemed Appraisal Reduction Amount, there shall be a determination of whether a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing.

 

(c)           The Certificate Balance of each Class of Sequential Pay Certificates and the VRR Interest Balance of each VRR ABS Interest shall be notionally reduced solely for purposes of determining (x) the Voting Rights of the related Classes to the extent set forth in this Agreement and (y) whether a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing or a Consultation Termination Event has occurred to the extent of any Trust Appraisal Reduction Amount (other than any deemed Trust Appraisal Reduction Amount) allocated to such Class or VRR ABS Interest on such Distribution Date. Trust Appraisal Reduction Amounts will be allocated between the VRR ABS Interests, on the one hand, and the Non-VRR Certificates, on the other hand, based upon the VRR Percentage and the Non-VRR Certificate Percentage, respectively. The Non-VRR Certificate Percentage of any Trust Appraisal Reduction Amount for any Distribution Date allocated to the Non-VRR Certificates shall be applied to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances of the Sequential Pay Certificates in the following order of priority: first, to the Class F Certificates; second, to the Class E Certificates; third, to the Class D Certificates; fourth, to the Class C Certificates; fifth, to the Class B Certificates; and sixth, to the Class A Certificates.

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

 

(e)           If (i) an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred, (ii) either (A) no Appraisals or updates of any Appraisals have been obtained or conducted with respect to the Property or Foreclosed Property, as the case may be, during the nine-month period prior to the date of such Appraisal Reduction Event or (B) the Special Servicer is aware of any 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 Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred, then (x) until each new Appraisal is delivered, the Appraisal Reduction Amount for the Property shall be deemed to be equal to 25% of the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (y) upon receipt of the new Appraisal by the Special Servicer, the Appraisal Reduction Amount for that Property or Foreclosed Property, as the case may be, shall be recalculated in accordance with the definition of Appraisal Reduction Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Trust Appraisal Reduction Amount deemed pursuant to the clause (x) of the preceding sentence shall not be allocated to any Class of Certificates for purposes of (1) determining whether a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing or (2) allocating Voting Rights.

 

(f)            With respect to any Appraisal Reduction Amount calculated for purposes of determining an Appraisal Reduction Event, the appraised value (as determined by an updated Appraisal) of the Property securing the Mortgage Loan will be determined on an “as-is” basis, based upon the current physical condition, use and zoning of the Property as of the date of the Appraisal.

 

If the Certificate Balance of any Controlling Class Certificates (taking into account the application of any Trust Appraisal Reduction Amounts (other than any deemed Trust Appraisal Reduction Amount pursuant to Section 3.7(e)) to notionally reduce the Certificate Balance of such Class) has been reduced to less than 25% of its initial Certificate Balance, such Class will be referred to as the “Appraised-Out Class”. The Holders of the majority (by Certificate Balance) of the Appraised-Out Class shall have the right, at their sole expense, to require the Special Servicer to order a second Appraisal of the Property (such Holders, the “Requesting Holders”). The Special Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that such Appraisal is delivered within 60 days from receipt of the Requesting Holders’ written request and shall ensure that such Appraisal is prepared by an Independent Appraiser).

 

In addition, if subsequent to such Controlling Class Certificates becoming an Appraised-Out Class there is a material change with respect to the Property related to the

 

 



    -91-


     

    

 

Appraisal Reduction Amounts that caused such Class to become an Appraised-Out Class, the Requesting Holders shall have the right to request, in writing, that the Special Servicer obtain an additional Appraisal, which request shall set forth their belief of what constitutes a material change to the Property (including any related documentation). The costs of obtaining such additional Appraisal shall be paid by the Requesting Holders. Subject to the Special Servicer’s confirmation, determined in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that there has been a change with respect to the Property and such change was material, the Special Servicer shall order another Appraisal from an Independent Appraiser, the identity of which shall be determined by the Special Servicer in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices (provided that such Independent Appraiser may not be the same Independent Appraiser that provided the Appraisal in respect of which the Requesting Holders are requesting the Special Servicer to obtain an additional Appraisal), and shall recalculate such Appraisal Reduction Amount and the Trust Appraisal Reduction Amount based upon such second Appraisal. If required by any such recalculation, the Appraised-Out Class shall be reinstated as the Controlling Class. Appraisals that are permitted to be requested by any Appraised-Out Class shall be in addition to any Appraisals that the Special Servicer may otherwise be required to obtain in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices upon the occurrence of such material change or that the Special Servicer is otherwise required or permitted to order under this Agreement without regard to any Appraisal requests made by any Requesting Holder.

 

Upon receipt of any supplemental Appraisal pursuant to the two preceding paragraphs, the Special Servicer shall recalculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount and the Trust Appraisal Reduction Amount based upon such second Appraisal. If required by any such recalculation, the Appraised-Out Class shall be reinstated as the Controlling Class and the Appraised-Out Class shall have its Certificate Balance notionally restored to the extent required by such recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount and the Trust Appraisal Reduction Amount.

 

Any Appraised-Out Class for which the Requesting Holders are challenging the Special Servicer’s Appraisal Reduction Amounts determination may not exercise any rights of the Controlling Class until such time, if any, as such Class is reinstated as the Controlling Class.

 

3.8.          Investment of Funds in the Collection Account and The Foreclosed Property Account. (a) The Servicer, with respect to the Collection Account and the Reserve Accounts, and the Special Servicer, with respect to the Foreclosed Property Account, may direct any depository institution maintaining the Collection Account, the Foreclosed Property Account and any Reserve Account (to the extent interest is not payable to the Borrower under applicable law or the Mortgage 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 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 (in its capacity as such)

 

 



    -92-


     

    

 

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 Special Servicer, as applicable), together with any document of transfer, if any, necessary to transfer title to such investment to the Trustee 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 Special Servicer 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 Special Servicer, as applicable, shall:

 

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

 

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

 

(b)           All net income and gain realized from investment of funds deposited in the Collection Account and the Reserve Accounts (to the extent not payable to the Borrower under applicable law or the Mortgage 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 under the terms of the Mortgage 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. Notwithstanding the above, 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 (i) was 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 Institution” included in Section 1.1 at the time such investment was made, (ii) such loss was incurred within thirty (30) days of the date of such insolvency, (iii) such loss is not the result of fraud, negligence or the willful misconduct of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable and (iv) and such institution was not an Affiliate of the Servicer, Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or Trustee, as applicable.

 

(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

 

 



    -93-


     

    

 

action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate proceedings. In the event the Servicer takes any such action, the Trust Fund shall pay or reimburse the Servicer, pursuant to Section 3.4(c), for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Servicer in connection therewith.

 

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

 

3.9.          Payment of Taxes, Assessments, etc. The Servicer (other than with respect to the Foreclosed Property) and the Special Servicer (with respect to the 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 real estate taxes, insurance premiums and other similar items from funds in the applicable Reserve Account in accordance with the Mortgage Loan Agreement at such time as may be required by the Mortgage Loan Documents. If the Borrower does not make the necessary payments and/or a Mortgage Loan Event of Default has occurred and amounts in the applicable Reserve Account are insufficient to make such payments, the Servicer shall make a Property Protection Advance, subject to the determination of non-recoverability provided in Section 3.23, from its own funds for amounts payable with respect to all such items related to the Property when and as the same shall become due and payable. The Servicer shall ensure that the amount of funds in the applicable Reserve Account is increased when and if applicable taxes, assessments, charges and other similar items, ground rents or insurance premiums are increased, in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Agreement.

 

3.10.        Appointment of Special Servicer. (a) Situs Holdings, LLC is hereby appointed as the initial Special Servicer to service the Mortgage Loan while a Special Servicing Loan Event has occurred and is continuing and perform the other obligations of the Special Servicer hereunder.

 

(b)           If there is a Special Servicer Termination Event with respect to any Special Servicer, such Special Servicer may be removed and replaced pursuant to Sections 7.1 and 7.2. The Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, shall, promptly after receiving notice of any such Special Servicer Termination Event notify the Servicer, the Trustee (in the case of the Certificate Administrator), the Companion Loan Holders, the Certificate Administrator (which shall post such notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 8.14(b)) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall post such notice on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 8.14(b)). The appointment of any such successor Special Servicer shall not relieve the Servicer or the Trustee

 

 



    -94-


     

    

 

of their respective obligations to make Advances as set forth herein; provided, however, the initial Special Servicer specified above shall not be liable for any actions or any inaction of such successor Special Servicer. No termination fee shall be payable to the terminated Special Servicer. No termination of the Special Servicer and appointment of a successor Special Servicer shall be effective until the successor Special Servicer has assumed all of its responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder in writing and a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such appointment has been delivered to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator and their respective counterparts with respect to each Other Securitization Trust. Any successor Special Servicer shall be deemed to make the representations and warranties provided for in Section 2.5 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).

 

(c)           Upon determining that a Special Servicing Loan Event has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall promptly give notice thereof to each other party hereto and the Servicer shall use efforts consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices to provide the Special Servicer with all information, documents (but excluding the original documents constituting the Mortgage File) and records (including records stored electronically on computer tapes, magnetic discs and the like) relating to the Mortgage Loan and reasonably requested by the Special Servicer to enable it to assume its duties hereunder with respect thereto. The Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to comply with the preceding sentence within five (5) 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 until the Special Servicer has commenced the servicing of the Mortgage Loan, 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 to the Servicer. The Servicer shall forward any notices it would otherwise send to the Borrower under the Mortgage 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 with respect to the Mortgage Loan, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall promptly give notice thereof to the Companion Loan Holders and each other party hereto, and upon giving such notice such Special Servicing Loan Event shall cease, the Special Servicer’s obligation to service the Mortgage Loan shall terminate and the obligations of the Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loan shall resume and the Special Servicer shall return all of the information and materials furnished to the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.10(c) to the Servicer.

 

(e)          
In making a Major Decision or in servicing the Mortgage Loan during the continuance of a Special Servicing Loan Event, the
Special Servicer 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 Special
Servicer) and copies of any additional related Mortgage Loan information, including correspondence with the Borrower, and
the

 

 



    -95-


     

    

 

Special Servicer shall promptly provide copies of all of the foregoing to the Servicer as well as copies of any analysis or internal review prepared by or for the benefit of the Special Servicer; provided that, such materials shall not include any Privileged Information.

 

(f)            During any period in which a Special Servicing Loan Event is continuing, not later than 4:00 p.m. (New York Time) on each Determination Date, the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Servicer, to the extent not included in the CREFC® Special Servicer Loan File, a written statement describing (i) the amount of all payments on account of interest received on the Mortgage Loan, the amount of all payments on account of principal received on the Mortgage Loan, 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 12.2 and (ii) such additional information relating to the Mortgage Loan as the Servicer or Certificate Administrator reasonably requests to enable it to perform its duties under this Agreement.

 

(g)           [Reserved].

 

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

 

(i)            Within sixty (60) days after a Special Servicing Loan Event occurs (the “Initial Delivery Date”), the Special Servicer shall prepare a report (the “Asset Status Report”) for the Mortgage Loan and the Property to and will be required to amend, update or create a new Asset Status Report to the extent that during the course of the resolution of the Mortgage Loan material changes in the circumstances and/or strategy reflected in any current Final Asset Status Report are necessary to reflect the then current circumstances and recommendation as to how the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan might be returned to performing status or otherwise liquidated in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices (each such report a “Subsequent Asset Status Report”). Each Final Asset Status Report will be required to be delivered in electronic form to the Servicer, each Risk Retention Consultation Party, the Directing Holder (but only so long as no Consultation Termination Event has occurred), the 17g-5 Information Provider in accordance with Section 8.14(b) (who shall promptly post it to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 8.14(b)) and the Companion Loan Holders. Such Asset Status Report shall set forth the following information (other than Privileged Information) to the extent reasonably determinable:

 

(i)       summary of the status of the Mortgage Loan 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 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 might be returned to performing status and returned to the Servicer for regular servicing 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;

 

(vii)   a description of any proposed amendment, modification or waiver of a material term of any ground lease;

 

(viii)  a description of any proposed actions;

 

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

 

(x)      the decision that the Special Servicer 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 net 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;

 

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

 

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

 

(j)            The Special Servicer shall (x) deliver to the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall post on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 8.14(b)) the Final Asset Status Report, (y) deliver to the Certificate Administrator a proposed notice to Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owner that will include a summary of the Final Asset Status Report in an electronic format, which format is reasonably acceptable to the Certificate Administrator (which will be a brief summary of the current status of the Property and current strategy with respect to the resolution and workout of the Mortgage Loan), and the Certificate

 

 



    -97-


     

    

 

Administrator shall post such summary (but not the Final Asset Status Report itself) on the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 8.14(b) and (z) implement the Final Asset Status Report in the form delivered to the 17g-5 Information Provider. Subject to the consent and consultation rights of the Directing Holder described in Section 3.10(i), the Special Servicer may, from time to time, modify any Final Asset Status Report it has previously delivered. Upon such modification, the Special Servicer shall prepare an updated summary and deliver the updated summary to the Certificate Administrator and deliver the modified Final Asset Status Report to the 17g-5 Information Provider. The 17g-5 Information Provider and the Certificate Administrator shall post such modified Final Asset Status Report on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 8.14(b), and the Certificate Administrator shall post such summary on the Certificate Administrator’s Website. In no event, however, will the Special Servicer be required to deliver a summary of any interim or draft Asset Status Report.

 

Subject to Section 9.5(b), the Special Servicer shall consult with the Risk Retention Consultation Parties on a non-binding basis (telephonically or electronically) and propose alternative courses of action and provide other feedback in respect of any Asset Status Report. The Special Servicer may choose to revise the Asset Status Report as it deems reasonably necessary in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices to take into account any input and/or recommendations of the Risk Retention Consultation Parties, but is under no obligation to follow any particular recommendation of any Risk Retention Consultation Party.

 

Subject to the last paragraph of Section 9.3(a), prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, if the Directing Holder does not disapprove an Asset Status Report within ten (10) Business Days, in writing, the Special Servicer shall implement the recommended action as outlined in the Asset Status Report. In addition, so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred or is continuing, the Directing Holder may object to any Asset Status Report within ten (10) Business Days of receipt and provided that the Special Servicer has not made the determination described below, the Special Servicer shall revise such Asset Status Report and deliver a new Asset Status Report as soon as practicable, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after such disapproval, to the Directing Holder, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Companion Loan Holders and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post such revised Asset Status Report on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 8.14(b)). Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Special Servicer shall revise such Asset Status Report as described above in Section 3.10(i) until the Directing Holder shall fail to disapprove such revised Asset Status Report in writing within ten (10) Business Days of receiving such revised Asset Status Report, until the Directing Holder’s approval is no longer required or until the Special Servicer makes the determination described below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer (A) may, following the occurrence of an extraordinary event with respect to the Property or the Mortgage Loan, or if a failure to take any such action at such time would be inconsistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, the Special Servicer may take any such actions with respect to the Property or the Mortgage Loan before the expiration of a ten (10) Business Day period and (B) shall implement the recommended action as outlined in the Asset Status Report, in each case if it makes a determination in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices the objection is not in the best interest of all the Certificateholders; provided, however, that, if the Directing Holder does not approve or is not deemed to have approved an Asset Status Report

within ninety (90) days from the first submission of an Asset Status Report, then the Special Servicer and the Directing Holder shall use reasonable efforts to negotiate a mutually agreeable Asset Status Report during the next thirty (30) days, and if they are unable to reach an agreement within such 30-day period, the Special Servicer shall take the action recommended in its most recently submitted Asset Status Report; provided, further, that such Asset Status Report is not intended to replace or satisfy any other specific consent or approval right that the Directing Holder may have pursuant to Section 9.3.

 

In connection with the approval or consultation rights of the Directing Holder with respect to any Asset Status Report, if the Special Servicer determines that any action recommended in an Asset Status Report is necessary to protect the Property or the interests of the Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owner 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 10 Business Day period if the Special Servicer reasonably determines in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices that failure to take such actions before the expiration of the 10 Business Day period would materially adversely affect the interest of the Certificateholders or the VRR Interest Owner, and the Special Servicer has made a reasonable effort to contact the Directing Holder.

 

The Special Servicer shall deliver to the Servicer, the Directing Holder (after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event but so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post the same to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website) a copy of each Final Asset Status Report, in each case with reasonable promptness following the adoption thereof. The Special Servicer shall provide a summary of such report to the Certificate Administrator, and the Certificate Administrator shall post such summary to its website. During the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Holder (other than in its capacity as a Certificateholder) shall have no right to receive any Asset Status Report or otherwise consult with the Special Servicer with respect to any matter set forth therein.

 

After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event but so long as no Consultation Termination Event has occurred, the Directing Holder shall be entitled to consult with the Special Servicer (in person or remotely via electronic, telephonic or other mutually agreeable communication) (on a non-binding basis) and propose alternative courses of action and provide other feedback in respect of any Asset Status Report. After the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Holder shall have no right to consult with the Special Servicer with respect to the Asset Status Reports. The Special Servicer may choose to 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 Directing Holder, but is under no obligation to follow any particular recommendation of the Directing Holder during the continuance of a Control Termination Event. The consent or consultation process with the Directing Holder and any revisions to the Asset Status Report made by the Special Servicer in response to such consultation described in this Section 3.10(j) are collectively referred to as the “Directing Holder Asset Status Report Approval Process”.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary the Special Servicer shall have no right or obligation to consult with or to seek and/or obtain consent, approval or direction from any Directing Holder prior to or after acting or making any determination (and provisions of this Agreement requiring such consultation, consent or approval shall be of no effect) during the period following any resignation or removal of a Directing Holder and before a replacement is selected and/or identified. In addition, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither the Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be permitted to follow any objection, advice, direction or consultation provided by the Directing Holder, a Risk Retention Consultation Party, the Controlling Class Certificateholders or any other Person that would require or cause the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, to violate any applicable law, be inconsistent with the Accepted Servicing Practices, require or cause the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, to violate provisions of this Agreement or the Co-Lender Agreement, require or cause the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, to violate the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents or the Co-Lender Agreement, expose the Trust, any Certificateholder, the VRR Interest Owner or any party to this Agreement or their Affiliates, members, managers, officers, directors, employees or agents to any claim, suit or liability, result in the imposition of a tax upon the Trust (other than a tax on net income from foreclosure property) or result in an Adverse REMIC Event, or materially expand the scope of the Servicer’s, Special Servicer’s, Trustee’s or Certificate Administrator’s responsibilities under this Agreement.

 

(k)           The Servicer and the Special Servicer shall comply with applicable law, the Accepted Servicing Practices, this Agreement, the Co-Lender Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Documents.

 

(l)            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 Directing Holder (so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing) and take any actions consistent with Section 3.24, Accepted Servicing Practices and the most recent Final Asset Status Report.

 

(m)          Upon request of any Certificateholder (or any Beneficial Owner, if applicable), which shall have provided the Certificate Administrator with an Investor Certification in the form of Exhibit K-1, the Certificate Administrator shall mail, without charge, to the address specified in such request a copy of the most current Final Asset Status Report, only to the extent the Certificate Administrator has the Final Asset Status Report.

 

(n)           In addition, during the continuance of a Special Servicing Loan Event, not later than 4:00 p.m. (New York time) on each Determination Date the Special Servicer shall prepare and deliver to the Servicer the CREFC® Special Servicer Loan File with respect to the Mortgage Loan.

 

(o)           The Special Servicer shall be required to deliver to the Servicer such reports and other information as the Servicer needs in its sole discretion (subject to Accepted Servicing Practices) to perform its obligations under this Agreement. In no event, however, shall the Special Servicer be required to deliver a summary of any interim or draft Asset Status Report.

3.11.        Maintenance of Insurance and Errors and Omissions and Fidelity Coverage. (a) The Servicer, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices and the Mortgage 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 Mortgage Loan Documents, the Servicer shall cause to be maintained to the extent such insurance is available at commercially reasonable rates, and to the extent the Trustee, as mortgagee, has an insurable interest) insurance with respect to the Property of the types and in the amounts required to be maintained by the Borrower under the Mortgage Loan Documents and to monitor the Borrower’s compliance with such insurance requirements. 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. Neither the Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be required to maintain, and shall not cause the Borrower to be in default with respect to the failure of the Borrower to obtain, all-risk casualty insurance which does not contain any carve-out for terrorist or similar acts, if and only if the Special Servicer has determined, on an annual basis, that such failure is an Acceptable Insurance Default. 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 Mortgage Loan Documents as in effect on the date thereof.

 

(b)           The Special Servicer, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices and the Mortgage 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 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 the Foreclosed Property shall be payable out of amounts on deposit in the Foreclosed Property Account or shall be advanced by the Servicer as a Property Protection Advance unless such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. Any such insurance (other than terrorism insurance, which shall be maintained to the extent required under subsection (a)) 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 and the Trust has an insurable interest in the Foreclosed Property. If the Special Servicer requests the Servicer to make a Property Protection Advance in respect of the premiums due in respect of such insurance, the Servicer shall, as soon as practicable after receipt of such request, make such Property Protection Advance unless such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, and if the Servicer does not make such Advance, the Trustee (within 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 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 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

 

 



    -101-


     

    

 

as a Property Protection Advance unless it would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. If such master force placed or blanket insurance policy contains a deductible clause, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be obligated to deposit in the Collection Account out of its own funds all sums that would have been deposited therein but for such clause to the extent any such deductible exceeds the deductible limitation that pertained to the Mortgage Loan, or in the absence of any such deductible limitation, the deductible limitation that is consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices.

 

(d)           Each of the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall obtain and maintain at its own expense, and keep in full force and effect throughout the term of this Agreement, a blanket fidelity bond and an “errors and omissions” insurance policy with an insurance company with a claims-paying ability rating at least equal to (a) “A-” by S&P, (b) “A-” by Fitch, (c) “A-” or its equivalent by KBRA, (d) “A-:VIII” by A.M. Best, (e) “A3” by Moody’s or (f) “A (low)” by DBRS, Inc. (or such other rating as to which a Rating Agency Confirmation has been obtained) covering the 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 at least be equal to the coverage that is required by the applicable governmental authorities having regulatory power over the Servicer and 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 or the Special Servicer, as applicable, if the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, 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 effort to cause each and every sub-servicer, if any, to maintain a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy meeting the requirements as described above. In lieu of the foregoing, but subject to this Section 3.11, the Servicer and Special Servicer shall be entitled to self-insure with respect to such risks so long as the long term debt obligations or deposits of the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable (or its immediate or remote parent) are rated at least “A3” by Moody’s, “A-” by S&P, “A-” by Fitch, “A(low)” by DBRS Morningstar or “A-:VIII” by A.M. Best.

 

(e)           No provision of this Section requiring such fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Servicer or the Special Servicer from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to request, upon receipt of a written request from any Certificateholder or VRR Interest Owner, and the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each deliver or cause to be delivered to the Certificate Administrator, a certificate of insurance from the surety and insurer certifying that such insurance is in full force and effect. The Certificate Administrator will make any such certificate of insurance available to the requesting Certificateholder or VRR Interest Owner on a confidential basis.

3.12.        Procedures with Respect to Defaulted Mortgage Loan; Realization upon the Property. (a) Following, and during the continuance of a Special Servicing Loan Event, the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trustee (with notification to and consent of the Directing Holder prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and upon consultation with the Directing Holder after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event but so long as no Consultation Termination Event has occurred) for the benefit of the Certificateholders, the VRR Interest Owner and the Companion Loan Holders, subject to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents and the Co-Lender Agreement, shall promptly pursue the remedies set forth therein or such resolution that is otherwise available to the Special Servicer, each in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, including foreclosure or other realization on the Property and the other collateral for the Mortgage Loan. In connection with any foreclosure, enforcement of the applicable Mortgage 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 the Accepted Servicing Practices, that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.

 

(b)           Such proposed acceleration of the Mortgage Loan and/or foreclosure on the Property shall be taken unless the Special Servicer waives such Mortgage Loan Event of Default (or modifies or amends the Mortgage Loan to cure the Mortgage Loan Event of Default), which the Special Servicer may do, subject to the rights of the Directing Holder (prior to a Consultation Termination Event) if such modification, waiver or amendment is consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices and does not cause either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or subject either such Trust REMIC to any tax (other than a tax on “net income from foreclosure property” under Code Section 860G(c)).

 

(c)           In connection with such foreclosure as described in Section 3.12(a) or other realization on the Property, the Special Servicer shall follow Accepted Servicing Practices; provided, however, that the Special Servicer shall not be permitted to direct the Servicer, and neither the Special Servicer nor the Servicer shall be required, to expend its own funds to restore the 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 if 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 Mortgage Loan Documents or other realization on the Collateral, the Special Servicer shall direct the Servicer to, and the Servicer shall, pay the costs and expenses in any such proceedings as a Property Protection Advance unless the Servicer determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.

 

(d)           In connection with any foreclosure or other acquisition, the Special Servicer shall request the Servicer to pay, and the Servicer shall pay, the out of pocket costs and expenses in any such proceedings as a Property Protection Advance unless the Servicer determines, in its sole discretion exercised in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. The Servicer shall be entitled to

 

 



    -103-


     

    

 

reimbursement of Advances (with interest at the Advance Rate) made pursuant to the preceding sentence in accordance with Section 3.23. Subject to Section 9.3(a), for so long as a Control Termination Event is not continuing, while negotiating a workout with the Borrower, the Special Servicer shall pursue any such appropriate remedial action to but not including actual foreclosure until such negotiations, in the judgment of the Special Servicer and in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices and subject to Section 9.3(a), are not reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery on a net present value basis than foreclosure.

 

(e)           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 cause the Trust to 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, subject to the rights of the Directing Holder to consent to and/or consult or the rights of the Risk Retention Consultation Party to consult in respect of such action, as applicable, the Special Servicer has previously determined, based on a report prepared as a Trust Fund Expense by an independent Person who regularly conducts site assessments for purchasers of comparable properties (a copy of such report to be provided to the Certificate Administrator, the Companion Loan Holders and the Trustee by the Special Servicer), 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 net 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 17g-5 Information Provider in electronic format and the 17g-5 Information Provider shall make such report available to the Rating Agencies and NRSROs pursuant to Section 8.14(b). The Certificate Administrator shall post a copy of such report on the Certificate Administrator’s Website promptly upon receipt.

 

If the Special Servicer has so determined based on satisfaction of the criteria in this Section 3.12(e) that it would be in the best economic interest (as determined in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices) of the Trust Fund and the Companion Loan Holders as a collective whole (taking into account the subordination of the B Note to the A Notes) to institute a foreclosure or take any other actions described in the immediately preceding paragraph, pursuant to the terms hereof and subject to the rights of (i) the Risk Retention Consultation Party to consult, and (ii) the Directing Holder to consent to and/or consult in respect of such action, as applicable, pursuant to the terms hereof, or a mezzanine lender under an intercreditor agreement, if applicable, the Special Servicer shall take such proposed action. The Special Servicer shall not foreclose upon or otherwise cause the Trust to acquire ownership of any Collateral other than the Property unless it receives an Opinion of Counsel (the cost of which shall be paid by the Servicer as a Property Protection Advance unless the Servicer determines that such Property Protection Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance) to the effect that such acquisition will not cause the imposition of a tax on the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC (other than a tax on “net income from foreclosure property” under Code Section 860G(c)) under the REMIC

 

 



    -104-


     

    

 

Provisions or cause the Lower-Tier REMIC or Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates or VRR Interest are outstanding.

 

The Special Servicer shall direct the Servicer to, and the Servicer shall, advance the cost of any such compliance, containment, clean up or remediation as a Property Protection Advance unless the Servicer determines that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.

 

(f)            The environmental site assessments contemplated by Section 3.12(e) 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.

 

(g)           Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Special Servicer shall not acquire and hold for the benefit of the Trust Fund any personal property (including any non-real property Collateral) pursuant to this Section 3.12 unless:

 

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

 

(ii)      the Special Servicer shall have obtained an Opinion of Counsel (the cost of which shall be paid by the Servicer as a Property Protection Advance unless the Servicer determines that such Property Protection Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance) to the effect that the holding of such personal property by the Trust Fund will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event at any time that any Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interest, Certificate or VRR Interest is outstanding (and such Opinion of Counsel may be premised on the designation hereby of any such personal property as being deemed part of an “outside reserve fund” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(h)) with the owner of such personal property for federal income tax purposes to be designated at such time).

 

(h)           Notwithstanding any acquisition of title to the Property following a Mortgage Loan Event of Default and cancellation of the Mortgage Loan, the Trust Loan and each Companion Loan shall be deemed to remain outstanding and, in the case of the Trust Loan, held in the Trust (for the benefit of the Certificateholders), and in the case of the Companion Loans, held by the Companion Loan Holders, for purposes of the application of collections and shall be reduced only by collections net of expenses. For purposes of all calculations hereunder, so long as the Trust Loan and each Companion Loan shall be deemed to remain outstanding, (i) it shall be assumed that the unpaid principal balance of the Trust Loan and each Companion Loan immediately after any discharge is equal to the unpaid principal balance of the Trust Loan and such Companion Loan immediately prior to such discharge and (ii) Foreclosure Proceeds shall be applied as provided in Section 1.3(b) and the Co-Lender Agreement.

 

3.13.        Custodian and Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Items in Mortgage File. From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing of the Mortgage Loan or foreclosure of or

 

 



    -105-


     

    

 

realization on the Property, the Custodian shall, upon request of the Servicer or the Special Servicer and delivery to the Custodian 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 request for release and the Trustee shall execute such documents furnished to it as shall be necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings. Such request 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, the VRR Interest Owner 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, as trustee for the Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owner, 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 Property, the expense of such consultation being treated as a reimbursable expense of the Special Servicer related to the foreclosure. The Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund and the Companion Loan Holders, shall dispose of the Foreclosed Property held by the Trust Fund as expeditiously as appropriate in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, but in any event within the time period, and subject to the conditions, set forth in Sections 3.15 and 12.2. Subject to Sections 12.2 and 3.14(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 the Foreclosed Property for the Certificateholders, the VRR Interest Owner 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)(vi), 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)(vi).

 

(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 the Foreclosed Property Account in the name of the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trustee 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, to do any and all things in connection with the Foreclosed Property for the benefit of the Trust Fund and the Companion Loan Holders as a collective whole (taking into account the subordination of the B Note to the A Notes) on such terms as are appropriate and necessary for the efficient liquidation of the Foreclosed Property, so long as the Special Servicer deems such actions to be consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices.

 

 



    -106-


     

    

 

 


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 (and all similar amounts or expenses), the Special Servicer shall direct the Servicer to, and the Servicer shall, make a Property Protection Advance unless the Servicer determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.


 


(d)        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 the 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 the Foreclosed Property, and (B) remit all related revenues (net of such costs and expenses) to the Special Servicer, as soon as practicable but in no event later than the Business Day immediately following receipt, for deposit into the Foreclosed Property Account; 


 


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


 


(iv)   the Successor Manager shall be permitted to perform construction (including renovations) on the Foreclosed Property only if the construction was more 


 


 

    -107-


     

    

 


than ten percent (10%) complete at the time default on the Mortgage Loan became imminent. 


 


The Special Servicer shall be entitled, and to the extent required by the REMIC Provisions, shall be required, to enter into an agreement with any Independent Contractor performing services for it related to its duties and obligations hereunder for indemnification of the Special Servicer by such Independent Contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification; however, the retention of any Independent Contractor will not relive the Special Servicer of its obligations with respect to the Foreclosed Property. All REO Management Fees shall be a Trust Fund Expense payable from the Foreclosed Property Account or subject to reimbursement pursuant to Section 3.4(c)(vi). The Special Servicer agrees to monitor the performance of the Successor Manager and to enforce the obligations of the Successor Manager on behalf of the Trust and the Companion Loan Holders. Expenses incurred by the Special Servicer in connection herewith shall qualify as Property Protection Advances.


 


(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 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 in the event that the Foreclosed Property is a real 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 the Foreclosed Property.  (a) 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 in
a manner designed to preserve the capital of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders as a collective whole as if
they constituted a single lender (taking into account the subordination the B Note to the A Notes) and not with a view to the
maximization of profit, but in no event later than the time period set forth in Section 12.2 in a manner provided under
this Section 3.15.


 


(b)       
If the Special Servicer or an Affiliate acquires the Foreclosed Property in the name of and on behalf of the Trust 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, to do any and all things in connection with the management and operation of the Foreclosed Property in accordance
with Accepted Servicing Practices, all on such terms as the Special Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Certificateholders,
the VRR Interest Owner and the Companion Loan Holders as a collective whole, as if they constituted a single lender (taking into
account the subordination of the B Note to the A Notes) and consistent with the REMIC Provisions.


 


(c)        Subject to the consent and consultation rights of the Directing Holder, as applicable, the Special Servicer may accept the highest cash offer for the Foreclosed Property 


 


 

    -108-


     

    

 


received from any Person. In no event may such offer be less than an amount at least equal to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Price for the Foreclosed Property. In the absence of any such offer, the Special Servicer shall accept the highest cash offer that it determines is a fair price for the Foreclosed Property. In determining whether any offer from a Person other than an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for the Foreclosed Property, the Special Servicer is required to take into account (in addition to the results of any Appraisal, updated Appraisal or narrative Appraisal that it may have obtained pursuant to this Agreement within the prior nine months), among other factors, the period and amount of the occupancy level and physical condition of the Property and the state of the local economy. If the highest offeror is an Interested Person, the Trustee shall determine the fairness of the highest offer based upon such Appraisal or, if no Appraisal has been obtained within the last nine (9) months, based on an Appraisal obtained by the Trustee. In addition, the Trustee may (at its option at the expense of the Interested Person or as a Trust Fund Expense) designate an Independent Appraiser that is an expert in real estate or commercial mortgage loan matters with at least five (5) years’ experience in valuing or investing in loans secured by properties similar to the Foreclosed Property, and such Independent Appraiser shall be selected with reasonable care by the Trustee for the purpose of determining whether such cash offer constitutes a fair price for the Foreclosed Property. If the Trustee designates such an Independent Appraiser to make such determination, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon such Independent Appraiser’s determination. Any such determination of a fair price of the Foreclosed Property by the Trustee shall be binding on all parties. The reasonable costs of all such Appraisals, property condition assessments, inspection reports and broker opinions of value incurred by the Trustee or any such third party pursuant to Section 3.15(c) shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable by, the Interested Person, and if such fees or costs are not reimbursed by such Interested Person, such expense shall be reimbursable as a Trust Fund Expense; provided that the Trustee shall not engage a third party expert whose fees exceed a commercially reasonable amount as determined by the Trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to the consent rights of the Directing Holder after the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Special Servicer shall not be obligated to accept the higher cash offer if the Special Servicer determines, in accordance with the Accepted Servicing Practices, that rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders, the VRR Interest Owner and the Companion Loan Holders (as a collective whole as if they constituted a single lender (taking into account the subordination of the B Note to the A Notes)), and the Special Servicer may accept a lower cash offer (from any Person other than itself or an Affiliate) if it determines, in accordance with the Accepted Servicing Practices, that acceptance of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders, the VRR Interest Owner and the Companion Loan Holders (as a collective whole). For avoidance of doubt, subject to the restrictions placed upon it as an Interested Person, the Directing Holder may submit bids on the Foreclosed Property in the same manner and at the same time and place as any other bidder. Neither the Trustee, in its individual capacity, nor any of its Affiliates may make an offer for or purchase the 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 or the Certificateholders, the VRR Interest Owner 


 


 

    -109-


     

    

 


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) and if consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, none of the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator or the Special Servicer shall have any liability to any Certificateholder or VRR Interest Owner 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, if not previously included in a CREFC® Report provided by the Servicer or the Special Servicer, the Special Servicer shall provide to the Servicer, the Trustee, the Companion Loan Holders and the Certificate Administrator a statement of accounting for the Foreclosed Property, including, without limitation, (i) the date the Foreclosed Property was acquired in foreclosure or by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, (ii) the date of disposition of the Foreclosed Property, (iii) the gross sale price and related selling and other expenses, (iv) accrued interest with respect to the outstanding balance of the Mortgage Loan immediately prior to the acquisition of the Foreclosed Property, calculated from the date of acquisition to the disposition date, and (v) such other information as the Trustee, the Companion Loan Holders or Certificate Administrator may reasonably request.


 


(g)        If the Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or the Property is a Foreclosed Property, the Servicer shall prepare and file on a timely basis the reports of foreclosures and abandonments of such Property required by Section 6050J of the Code and the reports of discharges of indebtedness income in respect of the Trust Loan and each Companion Loan required by Section 6050P of the Code.


 


(h)        The Special Servicer shall deliver to the Servicer such reports and other information as the Servicer needs in its sole discretion (subject to Accepted Servicing Practices) to perform its obligations under this Agreement.


 


3.16.    Sale of the Mortgage Loan.


 


(a)        (i) Within sixty (60) days after the occurrence of a Special Servicing Loan Event and notice thereof is received by the Special Servicer, the Special Servicer shall order an Appraisal (which shall not be required to be received within that 60-day period), the cost of which will be a Trust Fund Expense. Subject to the right of any mezzanine lender to purchase the Mortgage Loan pursuant to a mezzanine intercreditor agreement, the Servicer shall promptly notify in writing the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Companion Loan Holders and the Directing Holder (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) of the occurrence of such Special Servicing Loan Event, and the Special Servicer shall, if applicable, within the time period specified in any intercreditor agreement, so notify the mezzanine lenders of the occurrence of such Special Servicing Loan Event. Upon delivery by the Special Servicer of the notice described in the preceding sentence, subject to the consultation rights of the Directing Holder, and to any right of a mezzanine lender 


 


 

    -110-


     

    

 


to purchase the Mortgage Loan pursuant to an intercreditor agreement, the Special Servicer may offer to sell to any Person the Mortgage Loan or may offer to purchase the Mortgage 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 on the Mortgage Loan and such sale would be in the best economic interests of the Trust and the Companion Loan Holders as a collective whole as if they constituted a single lender (taking into account the subordination of the B Note to the A Notes) on a net present value basis. The Special Servicer shall give the Trustee, the Companion Loan Holders, the Certificate Administrator and the Directing Holder (prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event) not less than five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to sell the Mortgage Loan, in which case the Special Servicer shall accept the highest offer received from any Person, other than any Interested Person, for the Mortgage Loan so long as such offer is at least equal to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Price. At the Special Servicer’s option, if it has received no offer at least equal to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Price for the Mortgage Loan, an Interested Person (other than any Manager or any Borrower Related Party) may purchase the Mortgage Loan at the Mortgage Loan Purchase Price. Any Companion Loan is to be sold together with the Trust Loan, subject to this Section 3.16 and any additional requirements set forth in the Co-Lender Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 5 of the Co-Lender Agreement). 


 


(ii)    In the absence of any such offer and purchase at least equal to the Mortgage Loan Purchase 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 Mortgage Loan. In determining whether any offer from a Person other than an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for any defaulted Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall take into account (in addition to the results of any appraisal, updated appraisal or narrative appraisal that it may have obtained pursuant to this Agreement within the prior nine months), among other factors, the period and amount of the occupancy levels and physical conditions of the Property and the state of the local economy. However, if the highest offeror is the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Holder (or any of its Affiliates), any Certificateholder, any Borrower Related Party (including any Restricted Holder), any independent contractor engaged by the Special Servicer, a holder of any interest in a Mezzanine Loan (except to the extent described in Section 3.16(e)), an Other Depositor, the master servicer, the special servicer (or any independent contractor engaged by such special servicer) or the trustee for an Other Securitization Trust, a Companion Loan Holder or any known Affiliate of any of them (any such Person, an “Interested Person”), then the Trustee (based upon, among other things, the Appraisal ordered by the Special Servicer after a Special Servicing Loan Event pursuant to the preceding paragraph, and copied or otherwise delivered to the Trustee and any other information reasonably requested by the Trustee) shall determine if the highest offer is a fair price and such determination shall be binding upon all parties; provided that no offer from an Interested Person shall constitute a fair price unless (A) it is the highest offer received and (B) if such offer is less than the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Price, at least two other offers are received from independent third parties. If the Trustee is required to determine whether a cash offer by an Interested Person constitutes a fair price, the Trustee may (at its option and at the expense of the Interested Person or as a Trust Fund Expense, as described below) designate an Independent Appraiser that is an expert in real estate or 


 


 

    -111-


     

    

 


commercial mortgage loan matters with at least five (5) years’ experience in valuing or investing in loans similar to the Mortgage Loan, and such Independent Appraiser shall be selected with reasonable care by the Trustee for the purpose of determining whether such cash offer constitutes a fair price for the Mortgage Loan. If the Trustee designates such an Independent Appraiser to make such determination, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon such Independent Appraiser’s determination. Any such determination of a fair price of the Mortgage Loan by the Trustee shall be binding on all parties. The reasonable costs of all such Appraisals, property condition assessments and broker opinions of value incurred by, the Trustee or any such third party pursuant to this paragraph shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable by, the Interested Person, and if such fees or costs are not reimbursed by such Interested Person, such expense shall be reimbursable as a Trust Fund Expense; provided that the Trustee shall not engage a third party expert whose fees exceed a commercially reasonable amount as determined by the Trustee. Subject to the restrictions placed upon it as an Interested Person, the Directing Holder may submit bids on the defaulted Mortgage Loan in the same manner and at the same time and place as any other bidder. Neither the Trustee, in its individual capacity, nor any of its Affiliates may make an offer for or purchase the Mortgage Loan. 


 


(iii)   Notwithstanding anything contained in the preceding paragraph to the contrary, if an Interested Person offers to purchase the Mortgage Loan and the Trustee is required to determine whether a cash offer by an Interested Person constitutes a fair price, the Trustee may (at its option and at the expense of the Interested Person or as a Trust Fund Expense, as described below) designate an Independent third party expert in real estate or commercial mortgage loan matters with at least five (5) years’ experience in valuing or investing in loans similar to the Mortgage Loan, that has been selected with reasonable care by the Trustee to determine if such cash offer constitutes a fair price for the Mortgage Loan. If the Trustee designates such a third party to make such determination, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon such third party’s determination. The reasonable fees of, and the costs of all Appraisals, inspection reports and broker opinions of value incurred by, the Trustee or any such third party pursuant to this paragraph shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable by, the Interested Person, and if such fees or costs are not reimbursed by such Interested Person, such expense shall be reimbursable as a Trust Fund Expense; provided that the Trustee shall not engage a third party expert whose fees exceed a commercially reasonable amount as determined by the Trustee.


 


(iv)   The Special Servicer shall not be obligated to accept the highest 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, the VRR Interest Owner and the Companion Loan Holders (as a collective whole as if they constituted a single lender, taking into account the subordination of the B Note to the A Notes). 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 Certificateholders, the VRR Interest Owner and the Companion Loan Holders as collective whole as if they constituted a single lender (taking into account the subordination of the B Note to the A Notes) (for example, if the prospective buyer making the lower offer is more likely to perform its obligations or the terms 


 


 

    -112-


     

    

 


offered by the prospective buyer making the lower offer are more favorable in other respects), 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 Mortgage Loan prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date.


 


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


 


(b)        Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, any sale of the Mortgage Loan shall be subject to the Directing Holder’s consent rights (subject to limitations on such consent pursuant to Section 9.3(a) herein) and after the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event but prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, any sale of the Mortgage Loan shall be subject to the consultation rights of the Directing Holder as described in Section 9.3 herein. 


 


(c)        The right of the Special Servicer to purchase or sell the Mortgage 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 Mortgage 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 Mortgage Loan is no longer delinquent as a result of any of the following: (i) the Special Servicing Loan Event has ceased pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, (ii) the Mortgage Loan has become subject to a fully executed agreement reflecting the terms of the workout arrangement, (iii) the Mortgage Loan has otherwise been resolved (including by a full or discounted pay-off) or (iv) a mezzanine lender has exercised its purchase option for the Mortgage Loan set forth in the related intercreditor agreement.


 


(d)        Any sale of the Mortgage Loan shall be for cash only, and shall be in accordance with and subject to the provisions of the Co-Lender Agreement.


 


(e)        Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.16 to the contrary, a mezzanine lender may have the right to purchase the Mortgage Loan, and cure defaults relating thereto, as and to the extent set forth in a intercreditor agreement. 


 


(f)         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.16, the Special Servicer shall not sell the Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.16(a) without the written consent of the Companion Loan Holders (provided that such consent is not required from a Companion Loan Holder if such Companion Loan Holder is the Borrower or an Affiliate of the Borrower) 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 Mortgage Loan; (b) at least 10 days prior to the permitted sale date, a copy of each bid package (together with any material amendments to such bid packages) received by the Special Servicer in connection with any such proposed sale; (c) at least 10 days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of the most recent appraisal for the Mortgage Loan, and any documents in the Mortgage Loan files 


 


 

    -113-


     

    

 


reasonably requested by such Companion Loan Holder that are material to the price of the Mortgage Loan; and (d) until the sale is completed, and a reasonable period of time (but no less time than is afforded to other offerors) prior to the proposed sale date, all information and other documents being provided to other offerors and all leases or other documents that are approved by the Servicer or the Special Servicer in connection with the proposed sale; provided, that such Companion Loan Holder may waive any of the delivery or timing requirements set forth in this sentence. The Companion Loan Holders will be permitted to make offers to purchase, and either such party is permitted to be the purchaser at any sale of, the Mortgage Loan.


 


3.17.    Servicing Compensation.


 


(a)        The Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Servicing Fee with respect to the Trust Loan, the Companion Loans and any Foreclosed Property payable monthly from the Collection Account from payments of interest on the Trust Loan or the Companion Loans or otherwise in accordance with and subject to Section 3.4(c)(iii); provided that if such collections on the Trust Loan and Companion Loan are not sufficient to pay all accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees on the Mortgage Loan upon the final liquidation of the Mortgage Loan, any accrued but unpaid Servicing Fees will be payable out of other amounts on deposit with respect to the Mortgage Loan in accordance with Section 3.4(c)(x). 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 other than: (i) fees of any sub-servicer and the expenses of any sub-servicer that would not be reimbursable to the 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 (the “Servicer Customary Expenses”). 


 


(b)       
In addition, the Servicer shall be entitled to the following items as additional servicing compensation, to the extent that such
items are actually collected on the Mortgage Loan: (i) (x) so long as the Mortgage Loan is not a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan,
50% of the Modification Fees (actually collected during the related Collection Period and paid in connection with a consent, approval
or other action that the Servicer is not permitted to grant or take in the absence of the consent or approval (or deemed consent
or approval) (other than the fees in clause (vii) below) of the Special Servicer under this Agreement and (y) so long as the Mortgage
Loan is not a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, 100% of the Modification Fees actually collected during the related Collection
Period and paid in connection with a consent, approval or other action that the Servicer is permitted to grant or take in the

Special Servicer under this Agreement; (iii) so long as the Mortgage Loan is not a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, 100% of Assumption
Application Fees collected during the related Collection Period; (iv) so long as the Mortgage Loan is not a Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan, 100% of consent fees in connection with a consent that involves no modification, waiver or amendment of the terms
of the Mortgage Loan and is paid in connection with a consent the Servicer is permitted to grant in the absence of the consent
or approval (or deemed consent or approval) of the Special Servicer under this Agreement and 50% of consent fees in connection
with a consent that involves no modification, waiver or amendment of the terms of the Mortgage Loan and is paid in connection
with a consent that the Servicer is not permitted to grant or take in the absence of the consent or approval (or deemed consent
or approval) of the Special Servicer under this Agreement; (v) any and all amounts collected for checks returned for insufficient
funds; (vi) all or a portion of charges for beneficiary statements or demands actually paid by the Borrower; (vii) if the Mortgage
Loan is not a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, 100% of review and other loan processing fees actually paid by the Borrower; (viii)
interest or other income earned on deposits in the Collection Account or other accounts maintained by the Servicer (but only to
the extent of the net investment earnings, if any, with respect to any such account for each Collection Period and, further, in
the case of a servicing account or Reserve Account, only to the extent such interest or other income is not required to be paid
to the Borrower under applicable law or under the Mortgage Loan Documents); (ix) 100% of late payment charges and net Default

in accordance with Section 3.4(c) and (x) 100% of defeasance fees.


 


(c)        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 for so long as such Special Servicing Loan Event continues. The Special Servicer shall also 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 other than: (i) the cost of any fidelity bond or errors and omissions policy required by Section 3.11(d); (ii) overhead expenses of the Special Servicer including but not limited to those which may properly be allocable under the Special Servicer’s accounting system or otherwise to the Special Servicer’s activities under this Agreement or the income derived by it hereunder including the costs to the Special Servicer associated with employees of the Special Servicer performing services in connection with the obligations of the Special Servicer hereunder; and (iii) costs and expenses arising from the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Special Servicer (the “Special Servicer Customary Expenses”). If a Special Servicing Loan Event is terminated following resolution of such Special Servicing Loan Event by a written agreement with the Borrower negotiated by the Special Servicer, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Work-out Fee on all payments of principal and interest made on the Mortgage Loan following such written agreement for so long as another Special Servicing Loan Event does not occur. No Work-out Fee shall be payable to the Special Servicer if a mezzanine lender purchases the Mortgage Loan pursuant to the intercreditor agreement within ninety (90) days of the date on which the Purchase Option Notice (as defined in the intercreditor agreement) is first delivered to such mezzanine lender, provided, if there are one or more Purchase Option Notices that are delivered subsequent to the 


 


 

    -115-


     

    

 


initial Purchase Option Notice, as long as the event that resulted in the first Purchase Option Notice (or any applicable Purchase Option Notice that preceded the relevant Purchase Option Notice) has, within ninety (90) day period from the date of the applicable Purchase Option Notice was given to the mezzanine lender, ceased, been cured, been waived by Lender in writing, or otherwise is no longer in effect, such 90 day period shall commence on the date of the subsequent Purchase Option Notice given to the mezzanine lender. If the Special Servicer is terminated (other than for cause) or resigns after such written agreement is entered into and before or after the Special Servicing Loan Event is terminated, it shall retain the right to receive any and all Work-out Fees on all payments of principal and interest made on the Mortgage Loan following such written agreement (negotiated by such Special Servicer prior to its termination or resignation) for so long as another Special Servicing Loan Event does not occur. In addition, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to receive a Liquidation Fee with respect to each Liquidated Property or the liquidation of the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan as to which the Special Servicer receives Liquidation Proceeds, except that no Liquidation Fee shall be payable in connection with any repurchase of the Trust Loan (or any allocable portion thereof) by the Trust Loan Sellers or a Trust Loan Seller pursuant to the Trust Loan Purchase Agreement (so long as such repurchase occurs prior to the expiration of the Initial Resolution Period or Extended Resolution Period (if applicable)), in connection with the sale of the Trust Loan by the Special Servicer to the Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.16 hereof or a purchase of the Mortgage Loan by any mezzanine lender pursuant to the purchase option described in the intercreditor agreement (so long as such purchase occurs within ninety (90) days of the date on which the first Purchase Option Notice (as defined in the intercreditor agreement) is delivered to the mezzanine lender). The Liquidation Fee shall be payable from, and shall be calculated using the related Net Liquidation Proceeds. Each of the foregoing fees shall be payable from funds on deposit in the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.4(a). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any Collection Period, the Special Servicer shall only be entitled to receive a Work-out Fee or a Liquidation Fee, but not both.


 


(d)        The Special Servicer shall also be entitled to the following items as additional special servicing compensation, to the extent that such items are actually collected on the Mortgage Loan: (i) if the Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or with respect to the Foreclosed Property, 100% of Modification Fees actually collected during the related Collection Period; (ii) if the Mortgage Loan is not a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, 50% of Modification Fees collected during the related Collection Period in connection with a consent, approval or other action that the Servicer is not permitted to grant or take in the absence of the consent or approval (or deemed consent or approval) of the Special Servicer under this Agreement; (iii) if the Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, 100% of Assumption Fees collected during the related Collection Period and if the Mortgage Loan is not a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, 50% of Assumption Fees collected during the related Collection Period in connection with a consent, approval or other action that the Servicer is not permitted to grant or take in the absence of the consent or approval (or deemed consent or approval) of the Special Servicer under this Agreement; (iv) if the Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, 100% of Assumption Application Fees collected during the related Collection Period; (v) if the Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, 100% of consent fees in connection with a consent that involves no modification, waiver or amendment of the terms of the Mortgage Loan and if the Mortgage Loan is not a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, 50% of consent fees in connection with a consent that involves no modification, waiver or 


 


 

    -116-


     

    

 


amendment of the terms of the Mortgage Loan and is paid in connection with a consent that the Servicer is not permitted to grant in the absence of the consent or approval (or deemed consent or approval) of the Special Servicer under this Agreement; (vi) if the Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, all or a portion of charges for beneficiary statements or demands and other loan processing fees actually paid by the Borrower; (vii) if the Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, 100% of other loan processing fees actually paid by the Borrower; (viii) interest or other income earned on deposits in the Foreclosed Property Account (but only to the extent of the net investment earnings, if any, for each Collection Period); and (ix) 100% of late payment charges and Default Interest (to the extent not applied to pay other amounts pursuant to Section 3.4(c)) collected when the Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan. 


 


(e)        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 Mortgage Loan Agreement); (ii) failure of the Borrower to reimburse for such payment constitutes a Mortgage Loan 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) or is otherwise an unanticipated expense (it being understood that the Servicer Customary Expenses and the Special Servicer Customary Expenses are not unanticipated); or (iv) such reimbursement is expressly provided for herein or such expense is expressly described herein as a Trust Fund Expense.


 


(f)         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 compensation (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.


 


(g)        As compensation for its activities hereunder, on each Distribution Date the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to the Certificate Administrator Fee (including that portion which is payable to the Trustee as the Trustee Fee). Except as otherwise provided herein, the Certificate Administrator’s fee includes all routine expenses of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Authenticating Agent. Each of the Trustee’s and Certificate Administrator’s rights to the Certificate Administrator Fee (including that portion of the Certificate Administrator Fee that represents the Trustee Fee, which is payable to the Trustee) may not be transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of all of the Trustee’s or Certificate Administrator’s, as applicable, responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement.


 


(h)        Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, and any successor holder of the Excess Servicing Fee Rights shall be entitled, at any time, at its own expense, to transfer, sell, pledge or otherwise assign such Excess Servicing Fee Rights in whole (but not in part), to a QIB 


 


 

    -117-


     

    

 


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 Act and any applicable state securities laws and is otherwise made in accordance with the Act and such state securities laws, (ii) the prospective transferor shall have delivered to the Depositor a certificate substantially in the form attached as Exhibit N-1 hereto, and (iii) the prospective transferee shall have delivered to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, and the Depositor a certificate substantially in the form attached as Exhibit N-2 hereto. None of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar is obligated to register or qualify an Excess Servicing Fee Right under the 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.

For the avoidance of
doubt, each of the CREFC® reports required to be delivered by the Servicer will be prepared on a consolidated
basis with respect to the Property and not at the individual Property level; provided, further, that the
Certificate Administrator shall not be obligated to separate such reports at the individual Property level.

Copies of all compliance reports delivered pursuant to this Section 3.19 shall be made available to any Privileged Person by the Certificate Administrator by posting such compliance report to the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 8.14(b). Each such report shall be addressed to the Depositor (if addressed) and signed by an authorized officer of the applicable company, and shall address each of the Applicable Servicing Criteria.


 


On the Closing Date, the Servicer and the Special Servicer, each acknowledge and agree that Exhibit L to this Agreement sets forth the Applicable Servicing Criteria for such party.


 


No later than 30 days after the end of each fiscal year for the Trust, the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall notify the Certificate Administrator and the Depositor as to the name of each Servicing Function Participant utilized by it, in each case, and each such notice will specify what specific Servicing Criteria will be addressed in the report on assessment of compliance prepared by such Servicing Function Participant. When the Servicer and the Special Servicer submit their assessments to the Certificate Administrator, such parties, as applicable, will also at such time include the assessment (and related attestation pursuant to Section 3.20) of each Servicing Function Participant engaged by it. The fiscal year for the Trust shall be January 1 through December 31 of each calendar year.


 


In the event the Servicer or the Special Servicer is terminated or resigns pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, such party shall provide, and each such party shall cause any Servicing Function Participant engaged by it to provide (and the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall, with respect to any Servicing Function Participant that resigns or is terminated under any applicable servicing agreement, cause such Servicing Function Participant to provide) an annual assessment of compliance pursuant to this Section 3.19, coupled with an attestation as required in Section 3.20 in respect to the period of time that the Servicer or the Special Servicer was subject to this Agreement or the period of time that the Servicing Function Participant was subject to such other servicing agreement.


 


On or before March 1 of each year, commencing in 2021, each of the Servicer and the Special Servicer (regardless of whether the Special Servicer has commenced special servicing of the Mortgage Loan), each at its own expense, shall furnish (and each party, with respect to each Servicing Function Participant with which it has entered into a servicing relationship with respect to the Mortgage Loan (to the extent the same would have been required by Item 1108(a)(2)(i)-(iii) of Regulation AB if the Trust and the securitization transaction contemplated by this Agreement were required to comply with Regulation AB), shall cause such Servicing Function Participant to furnish) to the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Trustee and the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall post such report to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 8.14(b)) an Officer’s Certificate of an officer responsible for the servicing activities of such party stating, as to the signer thereof, that (A) a review of such Person’s activities during the preceding calendar year or portion thereof and of such Person’s

The obligations of each Person under this Section 3.19 apply to each such Person that serviced the Mortgage Loan during the applicable period, whether or not the Person is acting in such capacity at the time such Officer’s Certificate is required to be delivered. Copies of all Officer’s Certificates delivered pursuant to this Section 3.19 shall be made available to any Privileged Person by the Certificate Administrator posting such compliance report to the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 8.14(b).


 


3.20.   
Annual Independent Public Accountants’ Servicing Report.  On or before March 1 of each year, commencing
in 2021, the Servicer and the Special Servicer, each at its own expense, shall cause (and each such party, with respect to each

cause such Servicing Function Participant to cause) a registered public accounting firm (which may also render other services
to the Servicer, the Special Servicer or the applicable Servicing Function Participant, as the case may be) and that is a member
of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish a report to the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor,
the Trustee and the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall post such report to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website
pursuant to Section 8.14(b)), to the effect that (i) it has obtained a representation regarding certain matters from the
management of such Reporting Servicer, which includes an assessment from such Reporting Servicer of its compliance with the Applicable
Servicing Criteria and (ii) on the basis of an examination conducted by such firm in accordance with standards for attestation
engagements issued or adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, it is expressing an opinion as to whether such
Reporting Servicer’s assessment of compliance with the Applicable Servicing Criteria was fairly stated in all material
respects, or it cannot express an overall opinion regarding such party’s assessment of compliance with the Applicable Servicing
Criteria. In the event that an overall opinion cannot be expressed, such registered public accounting firm shall state in such
report why it was unable to express such an opinion. Each accountant’s attestation report required hereunder shall be made
in accordance with Rules 1-02(a)(3) and 2-02(g) of Regulation S-X under the Act and the Exchange Act. Such report must be available
for general use and not contain restricted use language. Copies of all statements delivered pursuant to this Section 3.20
shall be made available to any Privileged Person by the Certificate Administrator posting such statement on the Certificate Administrator’s
Website pursuant to Section 8.14(b).


 


3.21.

(a)       
Upon reasonable advance notice, the Certificate Administrator shall provide reasonable access during its normal business hours

the Mortgage Loan to any Privileged Person (which for this purpose excludes each Borrower Related Party, any Manager or their
respective agents or Affiliates); provided, however, that to


 






    -122-


     

    

 


 


the extent such reports, information and documentation is provided to a Rating Agency, the 17g-5 Information Provider shall first post such information to the Certificate Administrator’s Website. Such information shall include, but shall not be limited to, the CREFC® Reports provided to the Certificate Administrator by the Servicer. 


 


(b)        Upon request of the Depositor or a Rating Agency, the 17g-5 Information Provider shall post on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website any additional information requested by the Depositor or such Rating Agency to the extent such information is delivered to the 17g-5 Information Provider electronically in accordance with Section 8.14(b). In no event shall the 17g-5 Information Provider disclose on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website which Rating Agency requested such additional information. In addition, upon delivery by the Depositor to the 17g-5 Information Provider (in an electronic format mutually agreed upon by the Depositor and the 17g-5 Information Provider) of information designated by the Depositor as having been previously made available to NRSROs by the Depositor prior to the Closing Date, the 17g-5 Information Provider shall post such information on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 8.14(b).


 


(c)        The Special Servicer shall promptly notify the Certificate Administrator, in the form of Exhibit Q hereto, if the Special Servicer has actual knowledge that any Mezzanine Loan has been accelerated or foreclosure or enforcement proceedings have been commenced against the related mezzanine equity collateral or if any Special Servicing Loan Event has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Mortgage Loan as a result of any determination by the Servicer that a default in the payment of principal or interest under the Mortgage Loan is reasonably foreseeable. Upon receipt of such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall require each Restricted Holder that has previously submitted an Investor Certification to re-submit an Investor Certification in order to re-obtain access to the Certificate Administrator’s Website.


 


(d)        Upon the request of a Certificateholder or any Beneficial Owner or a prospective purchaser of a Certificate that is a QIB and is designated as a prospective purchaser by a Certificateholder or Beneficial Owner and, in any case, has delivered an Investor Certification in the form of Exhibit K-1 hereto to the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator (collectively, the “Rule 144A Information Recipients”), the Certificate Administrator shall make available to the Rule 144A Information Recipients such information as is specified pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Act (“Rule 144A Information”), to the extent such Rule 144A Information has been received by the Certificate Administrator. If the Certificate Administrator receives a request for Rule 144A Information in connection with the resale of any Certificate by a Certificateholder or Beneficial Owner, and such Rule 144A Information has not previously been provided to the Certificate Administrator by the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator shall, within three (3) Business Days of receipt of such request, notify the Depositor of such request and identify the Rule 144A Information requested. The Depositor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the requested Rule 144A Information to the Certificate Administrator, to the extent the requested Rule 144A Information is in the Depositor’s possession. The Certificate Administrator shall, within three (3) Business Days of receipt of any additional Rule 144A Information from the Depositor (i) convey such additional requested Rule 144A Information to the requesting Rule 144A Information Recipient and (ii) post such additional requested Rule 144A Information on the Certificate Administrator’s Website.

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. The Special Servicer shall inspect or cause
to be inspected the Property, as applicable, promptly following the occurrence of a Special Servicing Loan Event and annually
for so long as a Special Servicing Loan Event is continuing. The Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall further
inspect, or cause to be inspected, the Property whenever it receives information that the Property have been materially damaged,
left vacant, or abandoned, or if waste is being committed thereto. All such inspections shall be performed in such manner as shall
be consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices. The cost of the annual inspections referred to in the first sentence of this
paragraph shall be an expense of the Servicer; the cost of all additional inspections referred to in this paragraph shall be a
Trust Fund Expense. 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 Companion Loan Holders in electronic format. The Certificate Administrator shall post
such report on the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 8.14(b).


 


3.23.   
Advances.  (a) In the event that all or a portion of any Monthly Payment or an Assumed Monthly Payment, as applicable
(other than Default Interest), representing interest due on the Trust Loan on the related Payment Date has not been received by
the close of business on the Business Day immediately prior to the Remittance Date, the Servicer, subject to its determination
that such amounts are not Nonrecoverable Advances, shall make an advance on such Remittance Date to the Distribution Account,
in an amount equal to such Monthly Payment (or portion thereof) (or in the amount of the Assumed Monthly Payment, or portion thereof,
as applicable) with respect to the Trust Loan that has not been received by the close of business on the Business Day immediately
prior to such Remittance Date (net of the Servicing Fee with respect to the Trust Loan, which shall not be paid to the Servicer
until funds in the Collection Account are available for payment of such fee); provided that neither the Servicer nor any
other party shall be entitled to interest accrued on the amount of any Monthly Payment Advance with respect to the Trust Loan
if the delinquent amount of the Monthly Payment (or, if applicable, the Assumed Monthly Payment) in respect of such Trust Loan
is received by the Servicer or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, by 2:00 p.m., New York time, on such Remittance Date.
The portion of any Monthly Payment Advance equal to the CREFC® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee for the
Trust Loan and such Distribution Date will not be remitted to the Certificate Administrator but will be remitted to CREFC®
by the Servicer. The Servicer shall also advance in respect of each Payment Date following (x) a delinquency in the payment
of the Balloon Payment of the Trust Loan or foreclosure (or acceptance of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or comparable conversion)
of the Mortgage Loan or (y) not later than the related Remittance Date, to the Distribution Account, the amount of any Assumed
Monthly Payment deemed due with respect to the Trust Loan on such Payment Date. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that
the amount of interest and/or principal on the Trust Loan is reduced as a result of any modification to the Trust Loan, any Monthly
Payment Advance made with respect to such modified Trust Loan shall be in such amounts as may be required as a result of such
reduction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein and subject to the determination of nonrecoverability provided in this
Section 3.23, in the event that the Property becomes a Foreclosed Property, the Servicer shall continue to make advances
as required pursuant to this Section 3.23(a) with respect to each Payment Date following such event in an amount equal
to the Monthly Payment or Assumed Monthly Payment, as applicable, due or deemed due with


 


 

    -124-


     

    

 


respect to the Trust Loan on such Payment Date, as if the applicable Property had not become a Foreclosed Property and the Trust Loan continued to be outstanding. If and to the extent such information is not already included in the Distribution Date Statement for the month in which such Monthly Payment Advance is made, the Servicer shall notify the master servicer and trustee with respect to each Other Securitization Trust of the amount of any Monthly Payment Advance made pursuant to this Section 3.23(a) within two Business days of making such advance. The Servicer shall maintain a record of each Monthly Payment Advance it has made pursuant to this Section 3.23(a) on the Trust Loan and 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.


 


At
any time that a Trust Appraisal Reduction Amount exists with respect to the Mortgage Loan, the amount that would otherwise be
required to be advanced by the Servicer in respect of delinquent payments of interest on the Trust Loan shall be reduced by multiplying
such amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the then-outstanding principal balance of the Trust Loan minus the Trust
Appraisal Reduction Amount allocable to the Trust Loan (including any deemed Trust Appraisal Reduction Amount pursuant to Section
3.7(d)) and the denominator of which is the then-outstanding principal balance of the Trust Loan.


 


(b)        Subject to Section (e), the Servicer shall advance, for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders, to the extent it determines that such amount is recoverable, all customary and reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Servicer or the Special Servicer in the performance of its respective 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 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, ground rents 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 a sale of the Mortgage Loan, the negotiation of a workout of the Mortgage Loan, an assumption of the Mortgage Loan or a release of the Property from the lien of the applicable 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 Independent Appraisers, environmental and engineering consultants, and (iv) the management, operation and liquidation of the Property if the Property is acquired by the Trust (collectively, “Property Protection Advances”). In addition, subject to Section 3.23(e), the Servicer shall advance amounts eligible for withdrawal from the Collection Account pursuant to clauses (iii) (other than Servicing Fees), (iv)(b), (v) (to the extent 


 






    -125-


     

    

 


reimbursements of such amounts are owed to the Trustee only), (vi), (viii) and (x) of Section 3.4(c) (collectively, “Administrative Advances”) on or prior to the related Distribution Date to the extent (A) such amounts are not paid from the Collection Account pursuant to the second paragraph of Section 3.4(c) and (B) it determines that such amounts are payable or reimbursable by the Borrower and would not be a Nonrecoverable Advance. During the continuation of a Special Servicing Loan Event, the Special Servicer shall give the Servicer and the Trustee not less than five (5) Business Days’ written notice before the date on which the Servicer is requested to make the Property Protection Advance with respect to the Mortgage Loan or Foreclosed Property; provided, however, that only three (3) 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. Subject to Section 6.3, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Special Servicer requests that the Servicer make an Advance, the Servicer may conclusively rely on such request as evidence that such advance is not a Nonrecoverable Advance; provided, however, that the Special Servicer shall not be entitled to make such a request more frequently than once per calendar month with respect to Advances other than emergency Advances (although such request may relate to more than one Advance). The Special Servicer shall not make any Advance.


 


(c)       
To the extent the Servicer fails to make an Advance that it is required to make under this Agreement, the Trustee shall be required
to make such Advance pursuant to Section 7.6. It is understood that the obligation of the Servicer and the Trustee (pursuant
to Section 7.6) to make such Advances is mandatory, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement (subject to
the applicable recoverability determination), and shall continue to apply with respect to the Trust Loan 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, subject to the requirement
of recoverability, until the earliest of (i) the payment in full of the Mortgage Loan, (ii) the day on which all of the Property
become liquidated or (iii) the day on which the Mortgage Loan is sold.


 


(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” published in the “Money Rates” section of The Wall Street Journal; if The Wall Street Journal ceases to publish the “prime rate”, then the Servicer shall select an equivalent publication that publishes such “prime rate”, and if such “prime rate” is no longer generally published or is limited, regulated or administered by a governmental or quasi-governmental body, then the Servicer shall reasonably select a comparable interest rate index (the “Advance Rate”) for each such day (or the most recent day on which the “prime rate” was reported, if not reported on such day) on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed in a month. Interest on the Advances shall compound annually. If the context requires, each reference to the reimbursement or payment of an Advance also includes, whether or not specifically referred to, 


 






    -126-


     

    

 


payment or reimbursement of interest thereon at the Advance Rate through but excluding the date of payment or reimbursement.


 


(e)        Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be obligated to make an Advance only to the extent that the Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, has determined that such Advance, together with interest thereon 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 relating to the Trust Loan or the Mortgage Loan, as applicable, from the Collection Account and shall obtain such reimbursement in accordance with Section 3.4(c). If the context requires, each reference to the reimbursement or payment of an Advance shall be deemed to include, whether or not specifically referred to, payment or reimbursement of interest thereon at the Advance Rate through but excluding the date of payment or reimbursement.


 


(f)         The determination by the Servicer or the Trustee that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be evidenced by the delivery of an Officer’s Certificate in electronic format to the Companion Loan Holders, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee (if such determination is made by the Servicer), the Servicer, the Special Servicer, and the Directing Holder (so long as no Consultation Termination Event has occurred), detailing the reasons for such determination with supporting documents attached. Such Officer’s Certificate shall be made available to any Privileged Person by the Certificate Administrator posting such Officer’s Certificate to the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 8.14(b). The costs of any appraisals, engineering reports, environmental reports or surveys and other information requested by the Servicer or the Trustee establishing an Advance as a Nonrecoverable Advance shall be treated as Trust Fund Expenses, payable from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.4(c), and shall constitute a Property Protection Advance or Administrative Advance, as applicable, if paid by the Servicer or the Trustee from its funds. Subject to Section 6.3, the Servicer’s reasonable determination of nonrecoverability in accordance with the above provisions shall be conclusive and binding on the Trustee and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively thereupon. The Trustee, in determining whether or not a proposed Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall make such determination in its commercially reasonable judgment, solely in its capacity as Trustee.


 


(g)        The Servicer and the Trustee are not obligated to advance or pay (i) delinquent scheduled payments with respect to any Companion Loan, (ii) any Balloon Payment with respect to the Trust Loan (but are obligated to advance the related Assumed Monthly Payment in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), (iii) any Default Interest, late payment charges or Yield Maintenance Premiums, (iv) 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 a Mortgage Loan Event of Default) to investigate, test, monitor, contain, clean up, or remedy an environmental condition present at the Property, (v) any losses arising with respect to defects in the title to the Property, (vi) 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 or (vii) subordinated obligations, including any 


 






    -127-


     

    

 


Mezzanine Loan. In addition, the Servicer and the Trustee shall have no obligation to make any Monthly Payment Advances with respect to the Companion Loans.


 


(h)        The Servicer or the Trustee may consider (among other things) the following when making a non-recoverability determination: (a) the existence of any outstanding Nonrecoverable Advance (plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon) with respect to the Trust Loan, the Mortgage Loan or Foreclosed Property the reimbursement of which, at the time of such consideration, is being deferred or delayed by the Servicer or the Trustee, (b) the obligations of the Borrower under the terms of the Mortgage Loan as it may have been modified, (c) the Property in its “as-is” or then-current conditions and occupancies, as modified by such party’s assumptions (consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices in the case of the Servicer and the Special Servicer or in its commercially reasonable judgment in the case of the Trustee, solely in its capacity as Trustee) regarding the possibility and effects of future adverse changes with respect to the Property, (d) future expenses and (e) the timing of recoveries.


 


3.24.   
Modifications of Mortgage Loan Documents. (a) (i) The Servicer (if no Special Servicing Loan Event has occurred and
is continuing) or the Special Servicer (if a Special Servicing Loan Event occurs and is continuing) may, subject to (w) the consent
of the Directing Holder (subject to limitations on such consent pursuant to Section 9.3) prior to the occurrence and continuance
of a Control Termination Event, (x) the consultation and review rights of the Directing Holder (subject to limitations on such
rights pursuant to Section 9.3) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event but prior
to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, and (y) the rights of a mezzanine lender under the intercreditor agreement,
modify, waive or amend any term of the Mortgage Loan if such modification, waiver or amendment (a) is consistent with Accepted
Servicing Practices and (b) does not cause an Adverse REMIC Event (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 (a) seven years prior to the latest Rated Final Distribution Date and (b) 20 years or, to the extent consistent
with Accepted Servicing Practices giving due consideration to the remaining term of the ground lease, 10 years, prior to the end
of the current term of the ground lease, plus any options to extend the ground lease exercisable unilaterally by the Borrower.
In connection with (i) the release of the Property or portion thereof from the lien of the related Mortgage or (ii) the taking
of the Property or portion thereof by exercise of the power of eminent domain or condemnation, if the Mortgage Loan Documents
require the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to calculate the loan-to-value ratio of the remaining Property, for
purposes of REMIC qualification of the Trust Loan, then, unless then permitted by the REMIC Provisions, such calculation shall
exclude the value of personal property and going concern value, if any. If, following any such release or taking, the loan to
value ratio as calculated is greater than 125%, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall require payment
of principal by a “qualified amount” as determined under Revenue Procedure 2010-30 or successor provisions, unless
the Borrower provides an Opinion of Counsel that if such amount is not paid, the Mortgage Loan will not fail to be a “qualified
mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code. The Servicer shall promptly provide to the Special Servicer
notice of all Borrower requests related to any Mortgage Loan modification or assumption and, so


 



    -128-


     

    

 


long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, the Special Servicer shall forward such notice to the Directing Holder.


 


(b)        All modifications, waivers or amendments of the Mortgage Loan shall be in writing and shall be effected in a manner consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices and the REMIC Provisions and the provisions of the Co-Lender Agreement. The Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall notify the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Companion Loan Holders and the Depositor and, so long as no Consultation Termination Event has occurred, the Directing Holder, in writing, of any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of the Mortgage Loan and the date thereof, and shall deliver to the Custodian (with a copy to the Trustee and each Companion Loan Holder) an original recorded (if applicable) counterpart of the agreement relating to such modification, waiver or amendment within ten (10) Business Days following the execution and recordation (if appropriate) thereof. In the event the Servicer or Special Servicer, or a court of competent jurisdiction in connection with a workout or proposed workout of the Mortgage Loan, modifies the interest rate applicable to the Mortgage Loan, the aggregate adverse economic effect of the modification (if any) required to be borne by the holders of the Trust Notes pursuant to the Co-Lender Agreement shall be applied to the Non-VRR Certificates, in reverse order of seniority. If the Mortgage Loan is modified, the Net Trust Note Rate shall not change for purposes of distributions on the Certificates and the VRR Interest.


 


(c)        Subject to Section 3.28, any modification of the Mortgage Loan Documents that requires a Rating Agency Confirmation pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Documents, or any modification that would eliminate, modify or alter the requirement of obtaining such Rating Agency Confirmation in the Mortgage Loan Documents, shall not be made without the Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as applicable, first receipt of such Rating Agency Confirmation. Such Rating Agency Confirmation shall be obtained at the Borrower’s expense in accordance with the Mortgage Loan Agreement or, if not so provided in the Mortgage Loan Agreement or if the Borrower does not pay as a Trust Fund Expense.


  


(d)        Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer and (if a Special Servicing Loan Event is continuing) the Special Servicer may, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices (without any Rating Agency Confirmation or consent of the Directing Holder), grant the 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 to such easement, right-of-way or similar agreement. Neither the Servicer nor the Special Servicer may condition the granting of any such request on receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation if such condition would not be consistent with or permitted by the Mortgage Loan Documents.


 


(e)        Subject to Section 3.28 of this Agreement, prior to implementing any of the actions under the definition of RAC Decision, the Servicer or Special Servicer shall obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency.


 


(f)         Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not permit the substitution of the Property pursuant to the defeasance provisions of the Mortgage Loan Agreement unless such defeasance complies with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii) and the Servicer has (i) received replacement collateral consisting of government 


 






    -129-


     

    

 


securities within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii), which satisfies the requirements of the Mortgage Loan Documents, in an amount sufficient to make all scheduled payments required under the terms of the Mortgage Loan when due, (ii) received a certificate of an Independent certified public accountant to the effect that such substituted property will provide cash flows sufficient to meet all payments of interest and principal (including payments at maturity) on the Mortgage Loan in compliance with the requirements of the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, (iii) received one or more Opinions of Counsel (at the expense of the related Borrower) to the effect that the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust Fund, will have a first priority perfected security interest in such substituted property; provided, however, that, to the extent consistent with the Mortgage Loan Documents, the Borrower shall pay the cost of any such opinion as a condition to granting such defeasance, (iv) to the extent consistent with the Mortgage Loan Documents, the Borrower shall have designated a single purpose entity to act as a successor mortgagor, if so required by the Rating Agencies, (v) to the extent permissible under the Mortgage Loan Documents, the Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to require the Borrower to pay all costs of such defeasance, including but not limited to the cost of maintaining any successor mortgagor, and (vi) to the extent permissible under the Mortgage Loan Documents, the Servicer shall obtain, at the expense of the Borrower, Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency. If the Servicer receives notice of a request for defeasance with respect to the Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall provide upon receipt of such notice, written notice of such defeasance request to each Trust Loan Seller or its respective assignee and until such time as a Trust Loan Seller provides written notice to the contrary, notice of a defeasance of the Mortgage Loan shall be delivered to such Trust Loan Seller pursuant to the notice provisions of the Trust Loan Purchase Agreement.


  


(g)        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 Payment Date, and not as a prepayment of the Mortgage Loan. 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 Payment Date, 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 (or 366 days in the case of a leap year).


 


(h)        Subject to the terms of this Section 3.24, the Servicer or the Special Servicer (with regard to the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan) shall be permitted to waive all or any portion of Default Interest to the extent consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices. Failure to waive any Default Interest by the Servicer or the Special Servicer shall not in any way be deemed a violation of Accepted Servicing Practices.


 


3.25.   
Conflicts of Interests; Mandatory Resignation of Servicer and Special Servicer.  (a) 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 or the Special Servicer or such agent except as otherwise provided herein
subject to the restrictions on voting set forth in the definition of Certificateholder.

(b)        Neither the Special Servicer nor any of its Affiliates shall (i) resign from its obligations and duties as Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, under this Agreement, except as provided in Section 6.4 hereof, or (ii) act as special servicer of any Mezzanine Loan or a sub-servicer of the special servicer of any Mezzanine Loan. In the event that the Special Servicer becomes a Borrower Related Party, the Special Servicer shall promptly notify the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator of such affiliation. Upon receipt of such notice, the Trustee shall promptly send a request to the Special Servicer requesting that the Special Servicer resign as Special Servicer and promptly appoint a replacement special servicer in accordance with Section 6.4 of this Agreement. In the event that no replacement Special Servicer is appointed within thirty (30) days for any reason after receipt by the Trustee of a notice of such affiliation, the Trustee may petition the court for appointment of a successor Special Servicer at the expense of resigning Special Servicer. 


 


3.26.   
Intercreditor Agreement; Notice of Mortgage Loan Event of Default to Mezzanine Lenders.  The
Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall exercise, comply with, perform and/or enforce the rights and obligations of
the Trust as successor-in-interest to the mortgagee under the terms of the Co-Lender Agreement. The rights of the Trust and the
Certificateholders in and under the Mortgage Loan and the Mortgage Loan Documents shall be subject to the terms of the Co-Lender
Agreement.


 


3.27.   
Additional Matters with Respect to the Loan.

Note”) in accordance with Section 2.9 of this Agreement and Section 8 of the Trust Loan Purchase Agreement,
and one or more Companion Loan Notes remain outstanding and are held by one or more Other Securitization Trusts, the Servicer
and Special Servicer agree that pursuant to Sections 2 and 5 of the Co-Lender Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement and
the Co-Lender Agreement shall continue to apply with respect to the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loan (and each
Trust Loan Seller has agreed to such provisions in the Trust Loan Purchase Agreement) until such time all of the Trust Notes are
repurchased by the Trust Loan Sellers or otherwise no longer part of the Trust, and the related successor holders thereof and
the Companion Loan Holders have entered into a replacement servicing agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loan or the Companion

(ii)    In the event that the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, receives an aggregate payment of less than the aggregate amount due under the Mortgage Loan at any particular time, the Repurchasing Seller shall be entitled to receive from the Servicer an amount equal to the Repurchasing Seller’s allocable share of such payment as determined in accordance with the Co-Lender Agreement and this Section 3.27(b)(ii). All expenses, losses and shortfalls including, without limitation, losses of principal or interest, Advances that have been declared Nonrecoverable Advances, interest on Advances, Special Servicing Fees, Work-out Fees and Liquidation Fees (including any such fees related to the related Notes) and other Trust Fund Expenses relating to the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loan will be allocated to the holders of the Notes in accordance with the Co-Lender Agreement.

The Repurchasing Seller shall not be permitted to terminate the Servicer or Special Servicer as servicer or special servicer of the related Repurchased Note. All rights of the mortgagee under the Mortgage Loan will be exercised by the Servicer or Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust, the Repurchasing Seller and the Companion Loan Holders to the extent of their respective interest therein (as a collective whole) in accordance with this Agreement, taking into account the interests of each of the holders of the Notes and the subordination of the B Notes to the A Notes. Neither the Servicer nor the Trustee shall have any obligation to make P&I Advances with respect to the repurchased portion.

(g)        If the Trustee or the Servicer has made a Property Protection Advance or an Administrative Advance with respect to the Mortgage Loan that would otherwise be reimbursable to such advancing party under this Agreement, and such Advance is determined to be a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Repurchasing Seller shall reimburse the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in an amount equal to its allocable share of such Nonrecoverable Advance and accrued interest thereon at the Advance Rate as determined in accordance with Section 2(e) of the Co-Lender Agreement and Section 3.27(b)(ii).

(j)         The Repurchasing Seller agrees to deliver to the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable the Mortgage Loan Documents related to the related Repurchased Note or related Repurchased Notes, as applicable, any receipt for release and any court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or other documents necessary to the foreclosure or trustee’s sale in respect of the Property or to any legal action or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the Note(s) or the Mortgage or otherwise available at law or equity with respect to the related Repurchased Note.

3.28.   
Rating Agency Confirmation.  (a) Notwithstanding the terms of any related Mortgage Loan Documents or other provisions
of this Agreement, if any action under any Mortgage Loan Documents or this Agreement requires a Rating Agency Confirmation or
a written confirmation from a Rating Agency that any action will not cause a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the then-current
ratings on the Certificates as a condition precedent to such action, if the party (the “Requesting
Party”) seeking to obtain such Rating Agency Confirmation or written confirmation has made a request to any
Rating Agency for such Rating Agency Confirmation or written confirmation and, within ten (10) Business Days of such request being
sent to the applicable Rating Agency, such Rating Agency has not replied to such request or has responded in a manner that indicates
that such Rating Agency is either declining to review such request or waiving the requirement for Rating Agency Confirmation or
written confirmation, then such Requesting Party shall be required to (i) confirm (through direct communication and not by posting
any confirmation on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website) that the applicable Rating Agency has received the Rating
Agency Confirmation or written confirmation request, and, if it has, promptly request the related Rating Agency Confirmation or
written confirmation again, and (ii) if there is no response to either such Rating Agency Confirmation or written confirmation
request within five (5) Business Days of such second request, then (x) with respect to any condition in any Mortgage Loan Document
requiring such Rating Agency Confirmation or such written confirmation or any other matter under this Agreement relating to the
servicing of the Trust Loan (other than as set forth in clause (y) below), such condition shall be deemed to be satisfied
(provided that granting such request is in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices), and (y) such replacement shall
be deemed satisfied with respect to (I) Fitch, if the applicable replacement servicer or special servicer is rated at least “CMS3”
(in the case of the replacement servicer) or “CSS3” (in the case of the replacement special servicer), if Fitch
is the non-responding Rating Agency and (II) DBRS Morningstar if the replacement currently serves as a master or special servicer,
as applicable, in a CMBS transaction currently rated by DBRS Morningstar and DBRS Morningstar has not cited servicing concerns
of the replacement servicer or special servicer, as applicable, as the sole or material factor in any qualification, downgrade
or withdrawal of the ratings (or placement on ‘watch status’ in contemplation of a ratings downgrade or withdrawal)
of a securities in a CMBS transaction serviced by such servicer or special servicer prior to the time of determination if DBRS
Morningstar is the non-responding Rating Agency.


  


Any Rating Agency Confirmation requests made by the Servicer, Special Servicer, Certificate Administrator or Trustee, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement, shall be made in writing (and 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, reasonably deems necessary for the Rating Agency to process such request. Such written Rating Agency Confirmation request shall be provided in electronic format to the 17g-5 Information Provider, and the 17g-5 Information Provider shall post such request on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 8.14(b).


 






    -135-

(b)        Notwithstanding the terms of the related Loan Documents, the other provisions of this Agreement or the Co-Lender Agreement, with respect to any Companion Loan as to which there exists Companion Loan Securities, if any action relating to the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loan or any Foreclosed Property, any amendment to this Agreement or replacement of the Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee (a “Relevant Action”) requires delivery of a Rating Agency Confirmation as a condition precedent to such action pursuant to this Agreement, then, except as set forth below in this paragraph, such action shall also require delivery of a Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation to the master servicer, the special servicer, the certificate administrator or the operating advisor to any Other Securitization Trust as a condition precedent to such action from each Companion Loan Rating Agency. Each Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation shall be sought by the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, depending on whichever such party is seeking the corresponding Rating Agency Confirmation(s) in connection with a Relevant Action. The requirement to obtain a Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to any Companion Loan Securities will be permitted to be waived by the Servicer and the Special Servicer on, and will be deemed not to apply on, the same terms and conditions applicable to obtaining Rating Agency Confirmations, as set forth in this Agreement; provided, that the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, depending on which is seeking the subject Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation, shall forward to one or more of its counterparts (i.e., the master servicer or 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 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 (ii) 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.

3.31.    Companion Loan Intercreditor Matters.


 


(a)        If, pursuant to Section 3.16 of this Agreement, the Trust Loan is, in its entirety, purchased or repurchased from the Trust Fund, the subsequent holder thereof shall be bound by the terms of the Co-Lender Agreement and shall assume the rights and obligations of the holder of the Trust Notes under the Co-Lender Agreement. All portions of the Mortgage File and (to the extent provided under the Trust Loan Purchase Agreement) other documents pertaining to the Trust Loan shall be endorsed or assigned to the extent necessary or appropriate to the purchaser of the Trust Loan in its capacity as the holder of the Trust Notes (as a result of such purchase, repurchase or substitution) and (except for the original Companion Loan Notes) on behalf of the holders of the Companion Loan Notes. Thereafter, such Mortgage File shall be held by the holder of the Trust Notes or a custodian appointed thereby for the benefit thereof, on behalf of itself and the Companion Loan Holders as their interests appear under the Co-Lender Agreement. If the related servicing file is not already in the possession of such party, it shall be delivered to the master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, under any separate servicing agreement for the Mortgage Loan.


  


(b)        With respect to any Companion Loan that becomes the subject of an “asset review” (or such analogous term defined in the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement) pursuant to the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Custodian shall reasonably cooperate with the asset representations reviewer or any other party to the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement in connection with such asset review by providing the asset representations reviewer or such other requesting party with any documents reasonably requested by the asset representations reviewer or such other requesting party (at the expense of the Trust Loan Sellers or requesting party), but only to the extent (i) the requesting party or asset representations reviewer has not been able to obtain such documents from the Trust Loan Sellers or a party to the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement and (ii) such documents are in the possession of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian, as the case may be. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Custodian shall (i) have further obligations for such asset review or be bound by it or shall (ii) be obligated to provide such documents if providing such documents would, in its reasonable determination, be a violation of this Agreement or the Co-Lender Agreement.


 


(c)        Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, but only to the extent required under the Co-Lender Agreement, the Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan when it is not a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or Special Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan when it is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, as applicable, shall consult with the Companion Loan Holders with respect to any matters with respect to the servicing of the Companion Loans to the extent required under the Co-Lender Agreement. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall deliver reports and notices to each Companion Loan Holder to the extent required under the Co-Lender Agreement.


 


(d)        At any time after a Companion Loan has become part of an Other Securitization Trust and provided that the applicable parties hereto have received written notice (which may be by email) thereof including contact information for the master servicer and


 






    -137-


     

    

 


special servicer with respect to such Other Securitization Trust, all notices, reports, information or other deliverables required to be delivered to the related Companion Loan Holder pursuant to this Agreement or the Co-Lender Agreement shall be delivered to the master servicer and special servicer with respect to such Other Securitization Trust (who then may forward such items to the party entitled to receive such items as and to the extent provided in the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and, when so delivered to such master servicer and special servicer, the party hereto that is obligated under this Agreement or the Co-Lender Agreement to deliver such notices, reports, information or other deliverables shall be deemed to have satisfied its delivery obligations with respect to such items hereunder or under the Co-Lender Agreement.

    -139-


     

    

 


In no event will any Class of Sequential Pay Certificates receive distributions in reduction of its Certificate Balance that, in the aggregate exceed the original Certificate Balance of such Class.


 


On each Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator is required to apply amounts on deposit in the Upper-Tier Distribution Account, to the extent of the VRR ABS Interest Available Funds, in the following order of priority:

Furthermore, in no event will any reimbursement of VRR ABS Interest Realized Losses previously allocated to a VRR ABS Interest constitute distributions of principal for any purpose or result in an additional reduction in the VRR ABS Interest Balance of a VRR ABS Interest.


 


(b)        On each Distribution Date, each Class of Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests shall be deemed to receive (A) distributions in respect of principal or reimbursement of Realized Losses in an amount equal to the amount of principal or reimbursement of the Applied Realized Loss Amounts actually distributable to its respective Related Certificates or VRR Interest, as applicable, as provided in Section 4.1(a), and (B) distributions with respect of reimbursement of Realized Losses in an amount equal to the reimbursement of Realized Losses actually distributable to its respective Related Certificates, as provided in Section 4.1(g).

    -140-


     

    

 


Interest, the Class LE Uncertificated Interest and the Class LF Uncertificated Interest, the Interest Distribution Amount to the extent actually distributable thereon as provided in Section 4.1(a). Amounts distributable pursuant to this paragraph are referred to herein collectively as the “Lower-Tier Distribution Amount”, and shall be made by the Certificate Administrator by deeming such Lower-Tier Distribution Amount to be withdrawn from the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account to be deposited in the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account 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 and any Yield Maintenance Premium distributed pursuant to Section 4.3(b) shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class R Certificates (in respect of the Class LT-R Interest, but only to the extent of the amount remaining in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account, if any).


 


Distributions to the Class R Certificateholders (in respect of the Class LT-R Interest) from the Lower-Tier Distribution Account and to the Class R Certificate holders (in respect of the Class UT-R Interest) and to other Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owner 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 10.1 in respect of the final distribution) or VRR Interest Owner, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder or VRR Interest Owner 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 (in the case of the Certificateholders) or such address as has been provided to the Certificate Administrator in writing (in the case of the VRR Interest Owner) if wiring instructions have not been received at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Distribution Date.


 


(c)        All amounts distributable to a Class of Certificates pursuant to Section 4.1(a) on each Distribution Date shall be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates in each such Class based on their respective Percentage Interests. Such distributions shall be made on each Distribution Date (after withdrawing any amounts deposited in the Distribution Account in error and making other permitted withdrawals under this Agreement, to the extent funds are available for such purpose) to each Certificateholder and VRR Interest Owner of record on the related Record Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder or VRR Interest Owner 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 or on the VRR Interest shall be made in like manner, but only


 






    -141-


     

    

 


upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the location specified by the Certificate Administrator in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.


 


(d)        The Certificate Administrator shall, as soon as reasonably possible after notice thereof by the Servicer to the Certificate Administrator that the final distribution with respect to any Class of Certificates or VRR Interest is expected to be made, post a notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 8.14(b) and mail to each Holder of such Class of Certificates or VRR Interest Owner on such date 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 or VRR Interest 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; amounts owed to the VRR Interest Owner will be transferred to the last account on record with the Certificate Administrator; and


 


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


  


(e)        Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held in trust for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to this Section shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six (6) months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one (1) 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 (2) years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator shall, to the extent permitted by law, hold all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof for the benefit of such Holders until the earlier of (i) its termination as Certificate Administrator hereunder and the transfer of such amounts to a successor Certificate Administrator and (ii) the termination of the Trust Fund, at which time such amounts shall be distributed to the Depositor. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust hereunder or by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with this Section 4.1(e). Any such amounts transferred to the Certificate Administrator shall not be invested.


 



    -142-


     

    
 


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

 

(g)            On each Distribution Date, Non-VRR ABS Interest Realized Losses with respect to the Trust Loan shall be allocated to each Class of Sequential Pay Certificates in the following order:

 

first, to the Class F Certificates;

  

second, to the Class E Certificates;

 

third, to the Class D Certificates;

 

fourth, to the Class C Certificates;

 

fifth, to the Class B Certificates; and

 

sixth, to the Class A Certificates;

 

in each case until the Certificate Balance of each such Class has been reduced to zero.

 

On each Distribution Date, VRR ABS Interest Realized Losses with respect to the Mortgage Loan shall be allocated to the VRR ABS Interests pro rata to reduce the VRR ABS Interest Balance of such VRR ABS Interest until such VRR ABS Interest Balance has been reduced to zero.

 

(h)            The Notional Amount of the Class X-A Certificates will be reduced by the amount of Non-VRR ABS Interest Realized Losses allocated to the Class A, Class B and Class C Certificates.

 

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, the VRR
Interest Owner and other payees that the Certificate Administrator reasonably believes are applicable under the Code. The
consent of Certificateholders, the VRR Interest Owner or payees shall not be required for any such withholding and such
Certificateholders or VRR Interest Owner shall furnish any information as may be required for the Certificate Administrator
to comply with any withholding requirements. In the event the Certificate Administrator withholds any amount from interest
payments or advances thereof or other amounts to any Certificateholder, the VRR Interest Owner or payee pursuant to federal
withholding requirements, amounts so withheld shall be treated as having been entirely distributed to such Certificateholder,
the VRR Interest Owner or payee, and the Certificate Administrator shall indicate the amount withheld to such
Certificateholder or payee through a report.

 


    -143-


     

    
4.3.          Allocation and Distribution of Yield Maintenance Premiums. On any Distribution Date, Yield Maintenance Premiums, if any, collected in respect of the Trust Loan during the related Collection Period will be required to be distributed by the Certificate Administrator pro rata:

 

(i)             with respect to the VRR Percentage of the Yield Maintenance Premiums collected, to the Class VRR Certificates and the VRR Interest, pro rata based on their respective VRR ABS Interest Balances, and

 

(ii)             (a) with respect to the Non-VRR Percentage of Yield Maintenance Premiums collected, (i) to the holders of the Class A, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E and Class F Certificates, the product of (x) such Yield Maintenance Premium, (y) the related Base Interest Fraction for such Class and (z) a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the amount of principal distributed to such Class for that Distribution Date, and the denominator of which is the total amount of principal distributed to all Sequential Pay Certificates for that Distribution Date and (ii) to the holders of the Class X-A Certificates, any remaining portion of such Yield Maintenance Premium not distributed as described in clause (i).

 

No Yield Maintenance Premiums shall be distributed to the Holders of Class R Certificates.

 

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

 

4.4.          Statements to Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owner. (a) On each Distribution Date, based on information provided by the Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, the Certificate Administrator shall prepare and make available pursuant to Section 8.14(b) to any Privileged Person (including a Privileged Person who provides the Certificate Administrator with an Investor Certification in the form of Exhibit K-2 hereto) and shall deliver to the Initial Purchasers, a statement, based upon information supplied to it by the Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, in respect of the distributions on such Distribution Date (a “Distribution Date Statement”) setting forth:

Upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, at its office designated in Section 5.7, 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 Class VRR Certificates during the Risk Retention 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 to a transferee of a Non-Book Entry Certificate (or any portion thereof).

 

(i)            Transfers of Class VRR Certificates. At all times during the Risk Retention Period, if a transfer of any Class VRR Certificates after the Closing Date is to be made, then upon receipt of (i) a certification from such Certificateholder’s prospective transferee substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J-4, which such certification must be countersigned by the Retaining Sponsor, (ii) a certification from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J-5, which such certification must be countersigned by the Retaining Sponsor, (iii) a W-9 completed by the

 


    -158-


     

    
transferee and (iv) wire instructions and contact information of the transferee, the Certificate Administrator (which may conclusively rely upon such certifications) shall instruct the Certificate Registrar to register such transfer. Upon receipt of the Certificate Administrator’s instruction, the Certificate Registrar shall, subject to Section 5.2(e) and Section 5.3(a) register the transfer of the VRR Certificates, reflect such Class VRR Certificates in the name of the prospective transferee and shall deliver written confirmation substantially in the form of Exhibit S to this Agreement. The Certificate Registrar shall not register a transfer of any Class VRR Certificates after the Closing Date during the Risk Retention Period unless it is so instructed by the Certificate Administrator. After the termination of the Risk Retention Period, if a transfer of the Class VRR Certificates is to be made and the Class VRR Certificates are in the Class VRR Certificates Safekeeping Account, then upon receipt of: (i) a certification from such Certificateholder’s prospective transferee substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J-4, which such certification must be countersigned by the Retaining Sponsor and (ii) a certification from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J-5, which such certification must be countersigned by the Retaining Sponsor, the Certificate Administrator (which may conclusively rely upon such certifications) shall instruct the Certificate Registrar to register such transfer, and upon receipt of the Certificate Administrator’s instruction, the Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of the Class VRR Certificates and reflect such Class VRR Certificates in the name of the prospective transferee. After the termination of the Risk Retention Period, if a transfer of the Class VRR Certificates is to be made and the Class VRR Certificates are in the Class VRR Certificates Safekeeping Account, the Certificate Registrar shall not register a transfer of any Risk Retention Certificate unless it is so instructed by the Certificate Administrator. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall a Class VRR Certificate be held as a Book-Entry Certificate during the Risk Retention Period. Any transfer of an interest in the Class VRR Certificates that is not in compliance with this Section 5.3 shall be null and void ab initio to the extent permitted under applicable law.

 

(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, 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)            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, Rule 144 or Regulation S under the

 


    -159-


     

    
Act or, with respect to Non-Book Entry Certificates, that such Certificates are not “restricted” within the meaning of Rule 144 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)           No Class F, Class VRR or Class R Certificate may be purchased by or transferred to any prospective purchaser or transferee that is or will be (i) an employee benefit plan or other plan subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA or to Section 4975 of the Code or a governmental plan (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA) or other plan that is subject to any federal, state or local law that is, to a material extent, similar to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (“Similar Law”) (each, a “Plan”), or (ii) any Person acting on behalf of any such Plan or using the assets of a Plan to purchase such Certificate, other than (in the case of each of the Class F and Class VRR Certificates) an insurance company using assets of its general account under circumstances whereby such purchase, holding and the subsequent disposition of such Class F or Class VRR Certificates by such insurance company would be exempt from the prohibited transaction provisions of Sections 406 and 407 of ERISA and Code Section 4975 under Sections I and III of U.S. Department of Labor Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60, or, in the case of a Plan subject to Similar Law, its purchase, holding and subsequent disposition of such Certificates will not constitute or result in a non-exempt violation of Similar Law. Each prospective transferee of a Class F, Class VRR or Class R Certificate in the form of a Definitive Certificate shall deliver to the transferor, the Certificate Registrar and the Certificate Administrator a representation letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit J-3, stating that the prospective transferee is not a Person described in clause (i) or clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence. Each transferee of an interest in a Class F Certificate represented by a Global Certificate will be deemed to represent that it is not a Person described in clause (i) or clause (ii) of the second preceding sentence. No Class A, Class X-A, Class B, Class C, Class D or Class E Certificate may be purchased by or transferred to any prospective purchaser or transferee that is or will be a Plan, or any Person acting on behalf of any such plan or using the assets of a Plan to purchase such Certificate, unless (A) the purchaser is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1) of Regulation D of the Act and (B) the acquisition, holding and disposition of such Certificate by the purchaser will not constitute or otherwise result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (or a non-exempt violation of Similar Law). Any attempted or purported transfer in violation of these transfer restrictions shall be null and void ab initio and shall vest no rights in any purported transferee and shall not relieve the transferor of any obligations with respect to the applicable Certificates.

 

(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 

 


    -160-


     

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

 

(ii)      No Residual Ownership Interest may be transferred, and no such transfer shall be registered in the Certificate Register, without the express written consent of the Certificate Registrar, and the Certificate Registrar shall not recognize the transfer, and such proposed transfer shall not be effective, without such consent with respect thereto. In connection with any proposed transfer of any Residual Ownership Interest, the Certificate Registrar shall, as a condition to such consent, (x) require the proposed transferee to deliver, and the proposed transferee shall deliver to the Certificate Registrar and to the proposed transferor, an affidavit in substantially the form attached as Exhibit J-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(n) and (y) other than in connection with the initial issuance of a Class R Certificate, require a statement from the proposed transferor substantially in the form attached as Exhibit J-2 (the “Transferor Letter”), that the proposed transferor has no actual knowledge that the proposed transferee is not a Permitted Transferee and has no actual knowledge or reason to know that the proposed transferee’s statements in the Transferee Affidavit are false.

 

(iii)     Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transferee Affidavit by a proposed transferee under clause (ii) above, if a Responsible Officer of the Certificate Registrar has actual knowledge that the proposed transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, no transfer to such proposed transferee shall be effected and such proposed transfer shall not be registered on the Certificate Register; provided, however, the Certificate Registrar shall not be required to conduct any independent investigation to determine whether a proposed transferee is a Permitted Transferee. Upon notice to the Certificate Registrar

 


    -161-


     

    
that there has occurred a transfer to any Person that is a Disqualified Organization or an agent thereof (including a broker, nominee or middleman) in contravention of the foregoing restrictions, and in any event not later than 60 days after a request for information from the transferor of such Residual Ownership Interest or such agent, the Certificate Registrar and the Certificate Administrator agree to furnish to the IRS and the transferor of such Residual Ownership Interest or such agent such information necessary to the application of Section 860E(e) of the Code as may be required by the Code, including, but not limited to, the present value of the total anticipated excess inclusions with respect to such Class R Certificate (or portion thereof) for periods after such transfer. At the election of the Certificate Registrar, the Certificate Registrar may charge a reasonable fee for computing and furnishing such information to the transferor or to such agent referred to above; provided, however, such Persons shall in no event be excused from furnishing such information.

 

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

 

(p)           No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any Certificate or interest therein shall be made unless that transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is exempt from the registration and/or qualification requirements of the Act and any applicable state securities laws, or is otherwise made in accordance with the Act and such state securities laws. Neither the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator nor the Certificate Registrar are obligated to register or qualify the Certificates under the Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under this Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration or qualification. 

 

(q)           Until the expiration of the Risk Retention Period, no Person shall be permitted to own, directly or indirectly, any interest in the VRR Interest other than (i) GS Bank or one of its Majority-Owned Affiliates that is not a Non-Exempt Person or (ii) a Person that provides financing permitted under the Credit Risk Retention Rule (a “Permitted Lender”) to GS Bank or such Majority-Owned Affiliate; provided, further, that if such financing is provided by the Permitted Lender in a repurchase transaction, such GS Bank or such Majority-Owned Affiliate of the GS Bank may transfer its interest in the VRR Interest to the Permitted Lender so long as such GS Bank or such Majority-Owned Affiliate is obligated to repurchase such interest in the VRR Interest pursuant to the terms of the related financing documents. The VRR Interest Owner, if it wishes to transfer the VRR Interest, shall notify the Certificate Administrator in writing of such transfer and identify the new VRR Interest Owner. After the expiration of the Risk Retention Period, the VRR Interest or any portion thereof may be transferred to GS Bank or one of its Affiliates that is not a Non-Exempt Person. The Certificate Administrator shall register the ownership of the VRR Interest on a registry of ownership maintained by the Certificate Administrator, except that the Certificate Administrator shall not record the initial ownership of the VRR Interest by GS Bank or any subsequent transfer of the VRR Interest to a Majority Owned Affiliate of GS Bank. Any transfer of the VRR Interest (including to a Majority Owned Affiliate) shall be null and void ab initio to the extent permitted under applicable law unless all of the following is provided to the Certificate Administrator (i) the transferor of the VRR Interest has executed and delivered to the Certificate Administrator a certification in the form of Exhibit J-8 hereto, which such certification must be countersigned by the Retaining

 


    -162-


     

    
Sponsor and (ii) the transferee of the VRR Interest has executed and delivered to the Certificate Administrator a certification in the form of Exhibit J-7 hereto, which such certification must be countersigned by the Retaining Sponsor and shall include wiring instructions and contact information for such transferee. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, no Person shall have any rights hereunder with respect to the VRR Interest unless (i) in the case of GS Bank or its Majority Owned Affiliate, such Person is identified in writing to the Certificate Administrator as being the VRR Interest Owner or (ii) in the case of any subsequent transferee, such Person is identified as being the VRR Interest Owner on the ownership registry. The Certificate Administrator, the other parties to this Agreement and the Certificateholders shall be entitled to treat the VRR Interest Owner (in the case of any subsequent VRR Interest Owner, as recorded on such ownership registry) as the owner in fact thereof for all purposes and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in the VRR Interest on the part of any other Person. Any transfer of an interest in the VRR Interest that is not in compliance with this Section 5.3(q) or Section 5.3(r) shall be null and void ab initio to the extent permitted under applicable law.

 

(r)            GS Bank represents, and any subsequent VRR Interest Owner shall be deemed by virtue of its acceptance of the VRR Interest to represent, to the Trust and the Certificate Administrator (for the benefit of the borrowers) that it is not a Non-Exempt Person. Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement and from time to time as necessary during the term of the Agreement, the VRR Interest Owner shall deliver to the Certificate Administrator evidence satisfactory to the Certificate Administrator substantiating that it is not a Non-Exempt Person and that the Certificate Administrator is not obligated under applicable law to withhold taxes on sums paid to it with respect to the Mortgage Loan or otherwise under this Agreement. Without limiting the effect of the foregoing, (a) if the VRR Interest Owner is created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, it shall satisfy the requirements of the preceding sentence by furnishing to the Certificate Administrator an Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 and (b) if the VRR Interest Owner is not created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, and if the payment of interest or other amounts by the borrowers is treated for United States income tax purposes as derived in whole or part from sources within the United States, the VRR Interest Owner shall satisfy the requirements of the preceding sentence by furnishing to the Certificate Administrator an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8IMY (with appropriate attachments), Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E, or successor forms, as may be required from time to time, duly executed by the VRR Interest Owner, as evidence of the VRR Interest Owner’s exemption from the withholding of United States tax with respect thereto. The Certificate Administrator shall not be obligated to make any payment hereunder to the VRR Interest Owner in respect of the VRR Interest or otherwise until the VRR Interest Owner shall have furnished to the Certificate Administrator the forms, certificates, statements or documents required by this Section 5.3(r).

 

(s)           Each purchaser that is or is acting on behalf of or using the assets of a Plan subject to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (an “ERISA Plan”) will be deemed to have represented and warranted that (i) none of the Depositor, any Initial Purchaser, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, or any of their affiliates has provided any investment advice within the meaning of Section 3(21) of ERISA (and regulations thereunder) to the ERISA Plan, or to any fiduciary or other person making the

 


    -163-


     

    
decision to invest the assets of the ERISA Plan (“Fiduciary”), in connection with its acquisition of Certificates, and (ii) the Fiduciary is exercising its own independent judgment in evaluating the transaction.

 

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. 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 Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in this Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of any of them shall be affected by any notice to the contrary; provided, however, that to the extent that a party to this Agreement responsible for distributing any report, statement or other information required to be distributed to Certificateholders or the VRR Interest Owner has been provided an Investor Certification by a Beneficial Owner (or prospective transferee of a Certificate), such party to this Agreement shall distribute such report, statement or other information to such Beneficial Owner (or such prospective transferee).

 

5.6.          Access to List of Certificateholders’ Names and Addresses; Special Notices.

 

The Certificate Registrar shall maintain in as current a 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 (10) 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 and the Certificate Administrator shall not be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the list of the Certificateholders hereunder,

 


    -164-


     

    
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 and any reasonable costs associated therewith shall be a Trust Fund Expense.

 

Upon the written request of any Certificateholder, VRR Interest Owner or Beneficial Owner that (a) has provided an Investor Certification, (b) states that such Certificateholder, VRR Interest Owner or Beneficial Owner desires the Certificate Administrator to transmit a notice to all Certificateholders or Beneficial Owner stating that such Certificateholder, VRR Interest Owner or Beneficial Owner wishes to be contacted by other Certificateholders or Beneficial Owners, 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, VRR Interest Owner or Beneficial Owner 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 and the VRR Interest Owner 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 and Beneficial Owner, 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, MN 55479 as its office for such purposes. The Certificate Registrar shall give prompt written notice to the Certificateholders, the VRR Interest Owner and the Borrower of any change in the location of the Certificate Register or any such office or agency.

 

6.             THE DEPOSITOR, THE SERVICER AND THE SPECIAL SERVICER

 

6.1.          Respective Liabilities of the Depositor, the Servicer and the Special Servicer. The Depositor, the Servicer and the Special Servicer each shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically imposed by this Agreement.

 

6.2.          Merger or Consolidation of the Servicer or the Special Servicer. Each of the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall keep in full effect its existence and rights as an entity under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, and shall be in compliance with the laws of all jurisdictions to the extent necessary to perform its duties under this Agreement.

 

Any Person into which the Servicer or the Special Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Servicer or

 


    -165-


     

    
the Special Servicer, 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 such Servicer or the Special Servicer 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, however, unless such successor or surviving Person is the Servicer or the Special Servicer, each of the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall have received a Rating Agency Confirmation before any such surviving Person shall be deemed to be the successor of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder.

 

6.3.          Limitation on Liability of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer and Others. (a) Neither the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer nor any of their respective directors, officers, members, managers, partners, employees, Affiliates or agents shall be under any liability to the Trust, the Certificateholders, the VRR Interest Owner, any Companion Loan Holder or the Directing Holder for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for any action taken or not taken at the direction of Certificateholders, the Companion Loan Holders or the Directing Holder or for errors in judgment, that does not violate any law or Accepted Servicing Practices or the provisions of this Agreement or the Co-Lender Agreement; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer or any such other Person against any breach of warranties or representations made herein or any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of negligent disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder. The Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer and any of their respective directors, officers, employees, members, managers, partners, Affiliates or agents may reasonably rely on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder.

The Trust shall reimburse all amounts for which a party is entitled to indemnification under this Section 6.3(a) as such expenses are incurred. Neither the Depositor, the Servicer nor 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, however, 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 the case of the Servicer or Special Servicer, 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 VRR Interest Owner hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability

 


    -166-


     

    
resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust, 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 or the Distribution Account. Subject to Section 6.6, neither the Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be accountable for the use or application by the Depositor of any of the Certificates or of the proceeds of such Certificates or for the use or application by the Trustee or Certificate Administrator of any funds paid to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, in respect of the Mortgage Loan deposited into or withdrawn from the Distribution Account or any account (other than the Collection Account and the Foreclosed Property Account and any other account maintained by the Servicer, the Special Servicer or any Sub-Servicer pursuant to this Agreement) maintained by or on behalf of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator (except to the extent that any such account is held by the Servicer or the Special Servicer in its commercial capacity), or for investment of such amounts (other than investments made with the Servicer or the Special Servicer in its commercial capacity).

 

(b)           In order to comply with Applicable Banking Law, the Servicer and the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may be required to obtain, verify and record certain information relating to individuals and entities that maintain a business relationship with the Servicer or the Special Servicer.

The senior management personnel of the Special Servicer and/or its Affiliate who have obtained Confidential Information in the course of their exercise of general managerial responsibilities may not use that information to influence Investment Decisions with respect to the Certificates; nor may they pass that information to others for use in such activities, to the extent the use of such Confidential Information violates the securities laws; nor may such senior management personnel who have obtained information regarding Investments in the course of their exercise of general managerial responsibilities use that information to influence servicing recommendations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the delivery or provision by the Special Servicer of information or reports as required by this Agreement shall not constitute a violation or default of this Section 6.5(b).

 

The Servicer and the Special Servicer shall afford the Depositor, upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours access to all non-confidential, non-proprietary records, including those in electronic form, documentation, records or any other information regarding

    -172-


     

    
Event or Special Servicer Termination Event, as applicable, shall have been cured or waived. 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 Sequential Pay Certificates and the Class VRR Certificates having at least 25% of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of the Trust Appraisal Reduction Amount to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances of the Certificates) of the Sequential Pay Certificates and the Class VRR Certificates or, if affected thereby, of the applicable Companion Loan Holders (solely with respect to a Special Servicer Termination Event), 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 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 Special Servicer Termination Event under clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (ix) and/or (x) 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 Trust Loan, the Certificateholders or a rating on any of the Certificates, then (A) the Special Servicer shall not be terminated by the Trustee pursuant to clause (i) above of this sentence without the written direction of the affected Companion Loan Holders or upon the written direction of the Holders of Certificates pursuant to clause (ii) above of this sentence, and (B) (x) with respect to a Special Servicer Termination Event under clause (x) of Section 7.1(a), the related Other Depositor shall be able to require termination of the Special Servicer pursuant to clause (ii) above of this sentence. In addition, (A) if any Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Servicer affects a Companion Loan, a Companion Loan Holder or a rating on any Companion Loan Securities, and if the Servicer is not otherwise terminated or (B) if a Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Servicer affects only a Companion Loan, a Companion Loan Holder or a rating on any Companion Loan Securities, then the Servicer may not be terminated by or at the direction of the related Companion Loan Holder or the holder of any Companion Loan Securities, but upon the written direction of the related Companion Loan Holder, the Servicer will be required to appoint a sub-servicer that will be responsible for servicing the Mortgage Loan. Upon any termination of the Servicer 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 Certificate Administrator and the Certificate Administrator shall post such written notice thereof on the Certificate Administrator’s Website and provide the same to the 17g-5 Information Provider who shall post written notice thereof to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 8.14(b), and thereafter, give written notice to the Depositor, the Companion Loan Holders and the Certificateholders by mail to the addresses set

 


    -173-


     

    
forth in the Certificate Register. Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Directing Holder shall have the right to select the successor special servicer following any Special Servicer Termination Event.

 

(d)           Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Directing Holder 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 Directing Holder 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 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. The Directing Holder shall pay any costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee or the Trust in connection with the removal and appointment of a Special Servicer pursuant to this paragraph (unless such removal is based on any of the events or circumstances set forth in Section 7.1(a)). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no successor special servicer appointed by the Directing Holder (including, without limitation, the initial Special Servicer) pursuant to Section 6.4, Section 7.1(c) or this Section 7.1(d) or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement shall be required to meet any independent net worth or similar financial covenant; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, any successor special servicer (i) shall satisfy the eligibility requirements applicable to the Special Servicer contained in this Agreement; (ii) shall not be a Borrower Related Party or the current special servicer or an affiliate, subservicer or agent of the current special servicer of a Mezzanine Loan (or be engaged to perform any special servicing duties whatsoever with regard to a Mezzanine Loan); and (iii) shall satisfy any Rating Agency conditions set forth in the Rating Agency Confirmation delivered by such Rating Agency with respect to such successor special servicer and any other conditions as set forth in this Agreement.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Servicer Termination Event occurs and such Servicer Termination Event only has an adverse effect on the Companion Loan or the rating of a Companion Loan Security and the Servicer is not otherwise terminated, then the Trustee, at the direction of the Companion Loan Holder or the Depositor (in the case of clause (x) of the definition “Servicer Termination Event”), will be required to direct the Servicer to (and the Servicer shall) appoint a sub-servicer that will be responsible for servicing the Mortgage Loan, or if the Mortgage Loan is currently being sub-serviced, then the Trustee will be required to direct the Servicer to (and the Servicer shall) 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 is permitted to terminate the sub-servicing agreement due to such default); provided that the Servicer shall be required to obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency (including a Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation) with respect to the appointment of such sub-servicer (at the expense of the Servicer). If any Special Servicer Termination Event occurs and such Special Servicer Termination Event only has an adverse effect on the Companion Loan or a Companion Loan Security and the Special Servicer is not otherwise terminated, then the Trustee, at the direction of

 


    -174-


     

    
the Companion Loan Holder, will be required to terminate the Special Servicer. In addition, in the event that a Special Servicer Termination Event under clause (x) of the definition thereof occurs and the Special Servicer is not otherwise terminated, the Trustee will be required to terminate the Special Servicer at the direction of the Depositor.

 

(e)           During the continuation of a Control Termination Event, upon the written direction of Holders of Sequential Pay Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances of the Sequential Pay Certificates) of the Sequential Pay Certificates requesting a vote to replace the Special Servicer with a successor Special Servicer designated in such written direction, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly post such written direction to the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 8.14(b). Upon (i) delivery by such Holders to the Certificate Administrator of a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to the termination of the Special Servicer and the appointment of a successor Special Servicer (which confirmation shall be obtained at the expense of such Holders) and (ii) payment by such Holders to the Certificate Administrator of the reasonable fees and expenses (including any legal fees and expenses and any Rating Agency fees and expenses) to be incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with administering such vote (which fees and expenses will not be additional Trust Fund Expenses), the Certificate Administrator shall promptly post written notice of a request for such a vote to the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 8.14(b), provide written notice to all Certificateholders of such request by mail, and shall conduct the solicitation of votes of all Certificates. Such votes shall be effective only if received by the Certificate Administrator within one hundred eighty (180) days of the posting of such notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website. Any votes not received within such 180-day period shall be of no force and effect. If Holders of Sequential Pay Certificates evidencing at least 66-2/3% of a Certificateholder Quorum vote in favor of replacing the Special Servicer within such 180-day period, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Trustee and the Trustee shall terminate all of the rights (subject to such terminated Special Servicer’s rights to indemnification, payment of outstanding fees, reimbursement of Advances and other rights set forth in this Agreement which survive termination) and obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement and appoint the successor Special Servicer designated by such Certificateholders; provided that such successor Special Servicer shall (i) satisfy the eligibility requirements applicable to the Special Servicer contained in this Agreement; and (ii) not also be a Borrower Related Party or the current special servicer or an affiliate, subservicer or agent of the current special servicer of a Mezzanine Loan (or be engaged to perform any special servicing duties whatsoever with regard to a Mezzanine Loan); provided, further, such successor Special Servicer certifies in writing that it satisfies all related qualifications set forth in the Co-Lender Agreement; provided, further, that if such written direction is not provided within one hundred eighty (180) days of the initial request for a vote to terminate and replace the Special Servicer, then such written direction shall have no force and effect. The provisions set forth in the foregoing sentences of this paragraph shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of solely the Certificateholders and the Trustee as between each other. As between the Special Servicer, on the one hand, and the Certificateholders, on the other, the Certificateholders shall be entitled in their sole discretion to vote for the termination or not vote for the termination of the Special Servicer. The Holders of the Certificates 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 e-mail notifications when such notices are posted thereon.

 

(f)            In no event shall the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable be deemed to have knowledge of or be aware of any Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable has received written notice thereof or has actual knowledge thereof.

 

(g)           In the event that the Servicer or Special Servicer is terminated pursuant to this Section 7.1, the Trustee shall notify the outgoing Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, of the effective date of its termination, and 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 Certificate Administrator and the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall post it to its website)), terminate all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loan and the proceeds thereof, other than any rights the Terminated Party may have hereunder as a Certificateholder, to the Excess Servicing Fee Right, and to any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination (including the right to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement with respect to periods prior to the date of such termination and the right to the benefits of Section 6.3 notwithstanding any such termination). On or after the receipt by the Terminated Party of such written notice, subject to the foregoing, all of its authority and power under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates (except that the Terminated Party shall retain its rights as a Certificateholder in the event and to the extent that it is a Certificateholder) or the Mortgage Loan or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Terminating Party pursuant to and under this Section 7.1 (absent the appointment of a successor, and such successor’s assumption of obligations hereunder) and, without limitation, the Terminating Party is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of and at the expense of the Terminated Party, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of Servicer or Special Servicer’s rights and obligations 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 (10) 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(g), 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(g), the resigning party in connection with a resignation of the Servicer or the Special Servicer under Section 6.4(b)) to the

All reasonable costs and expenses of the Terminating Party or the successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, incurred in connection with transferring the Mortgage File to the Terminating Party or to the successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, and amending this Agreement to reflect such succession pursuant to this Section 7.1 shall be paid by the Terminated Party upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses. If the Terminated Party has not reimbursed the Terminating Party or such successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, for expenses set forth in this Section 7.1(g) within ninety (90) days after the presentation of reasonable documentation, such expense shall be reimbursed by the Trust pursuant to Section 3.4(c); provided that the Terminated Party shall not thereby be relieved of its liability for such expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Special Servicer is terminated without cause pursuant to this Section 7.1, all costs and expenses incurred or payable by the terminated Special Servicer under this Section 7.1 shall be paid by the Trust Fund, except that such costs shall be paid by the Directing Holder, if the Special Servicer is terminated under Section 7.1(d) and shall be paid by the Certificateholders who initiated the vote to replace the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 7.1(e) if the Special Servicer is terminated under Section 7.1(e), as applicable.

 

7.2.          Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.

 

(a)           On and after the time the Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.1, or resigns pursuant to Section 6.4(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, however, that (i) neither the Trustee nor the Terminating Party (or any successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be) shall have responsibilities, duties, liabilities or obligations with respect to any act or omission of the Terminated Party and (ii) any failure to perform, or delay in performing, such duties or responsibilities caused by the Terminated Party’s failure to provide, or delay in providing, records, tapes, disks, information or monies or failure to cooperate as required by this Agreement shall not be considered a default by the Terminating Party or such successor hereunder. The Trustee, as successor Servicer, and any other successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall be indemnified to the full extent provided to the Trustee under this Agreement. The appointment of a successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall not affect

 


    -177-


     

    
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. 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 Mortgage 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, if the Holders of Sequential Pay Certificates and the Class VRR Certificates having greater than 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights (taking into account the application of the Trust Appraisal Reduction Amount to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances of the Certificates) of all then outstanding Sequential Pay Certificates and Class VRR 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 a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to the succession of the Trustee as Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, promptly appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established Mortgage 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 Directing Holder’s right to replace the Special Servicer prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event. 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 Mortgage Loan as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, 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). The Depositor, the Trustee, the Servicer (as applicable), the Special Servicer (as applicable) and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.

 

(b)           Notwithstanding Section 7.1(c) of this Agreement, if a Servicer receives a notice of termination solely due to a Servicer Termination Event under Section 7.1(a)(vii) and the terminated Servicer provides the Trustee with the appropriate “request for proposal” materials within five (5) Business Days after such termination, then such Servicer shall continue to serve as Servicer, if requested to do so by the Trustee, and the Trustee shall promptly

 


    -178-


     

    
thereafter (using such “request for proposal” materials provided by the terminated Servicer) solicit good faith bids for the rights to master service the Mortgage Loan from at least three (3) Persons qualified to act as successor Servicer hereunder in accordance with Section 6.4 and Section 7.2 for which the Trustee has received Rating Agency Confirmation (any such Person so qualified, a “Qualified Bidder”) or, if three (3) Qualified Bidders cannot be located, then from as many Persons as the Trustee can determine are Qualified Bidders; provided, however, that (i) at the Trustee’s request, the terminated Servicer shall supply the Trustee with the names of Persons from whom to solicit such bids; and (ii) the Trustee shall not be responsible if less than three (3) or no Qualified Bidders submit bids for the right to master service the Mortgage Loan under this Agreement. The bid proposal shall require any Successful Bidder (as defined below), as a condition of such bid, to enter into this Agreement as successor Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan, and to agree to be bound by the terms hereof, within forty-five (45) days after the receipt by the terminated Servicer of a notice of termination. The Trustee shall solicit bids (i) on the basis of such successor Servicer entering into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with the terminated Servicer to service the Mortgage Loan at a sub-servicing fee rate per annum equal to the excess of the Servicing Fee Rate minus the Retained Fee Rate (each, a “Servicing Retained Bid”) and (ii) on the basis of having no obligation to enter into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with the terminated Servicer (each, a “Servicing Released Bid”). The Trustee shall select the Qualified Bidder with the highest cash Servicing Retained Bid (or, if none, the highest cash Servicing Released Bid) (the “Successful Bidder”) to act as successor Servicer hereunder. The Trustee shall direct the Successful Bidder to enter into this Agreement as successor Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof (and, if the successful bid was a Servicing Retained Bid, to enter into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with the terminated Servicer as contemplated above), no later than forty-five (45) days after the termination of the terminated Servicer. Upon the assignment and acceptance of the servicing rights hereunder to and by the Successful Bidder, the Certificate Administrator shall remit or cause to be remitted to the terminated Servicer the amount of such cash bid received from the Successful Bidder (net of “out of pocket” expenses incurred in connection with obtaining such bid and transferring servicing).

 

If the Trustee or an Affiliate acts pursuant to this Section 7.2 as successor to the resigning or terminated Servicer, it may reduce such terminated Servicer’s Excess Servicing Fee to the extent that its or such Affiliate’s compensation as successor Servicer would otherwise be below 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 such Servicer’s Excess Servicing Fee 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.          [Reserved].

 

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

 


    -179-


     

    
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 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 Sequential Pay Certificates evidencing not less than 66-2/3% of the aggregate Voting Rights of all then outstanding Sequential Pay Certificates may, on behalf of all Certificateholders and upon adequate indemnification of the Trustee by the requesting Holders of Certificates, waive any Servicer Termination Event by the Servicer or Special Servicer Termination Event by the Special Servicer, except a failure to make any required deposits (including Monthly Payment Advances) to or payments from the Collection Account, the Distribution Account or the 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, as applicable, such Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event, as applicable, shall cease to exist, and such Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event, as applicable, shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right related thereto.

 

7.6.          Trustee as Maker of Advances. In the event that the Servicer fails to fulfill its obligations hereunder to make any Advances, the Servicer shall notify the Trustee of its failure to make such Advances as promptly as possible, but in the case of any Monthly Payment Advances no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the related Remittance Date, and the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Trustee of the Servicer’s failure to make any Advances as promptly as possible, but in the case of any Monthly Payment Advances no later than 6:00 p.m. (New York time) on the related Remittance Date. The Trustee shall, subject to its own determination of recoverability (made in the same manner as required of the Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement), perform such obligations (w) within five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period (but not less than one (1) Business Day) as may be required, if applicable, to avoid any lapse in insurance coverage required under the Mortgage 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 provided that the Trustee has received notice from the Servicer or the Certificate Administrator by 6:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Remittance Date of the failure of the Servicer to make a required Monthly Payment Advance. With respect to any such Advance made by the Trustee, the Trustee shall succeed to all of the Servicer’s rights 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

 


    -180-


     

    
Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance (without regard to any impairment of any such rights of reimbursement caused by such Servicer’s default in its obligations hereunder and further subject to the Trustee’s standard of good faith judgment); provided, however, that if Advances made by the Trustee and/or the 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 for such Advances and interest accrued thereon. The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any notice given by the Servicer with respect to a Nonrecoverable Advance hereunder. The Trustee shall notify the master servicer and 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 AND THE Certificate Administrator

 

8.1.          Duties of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator. (a) Each of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event, as the case may be, and after the curing or waiver of any Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event that may have occurred, undertakes with respect to the Trust Fund to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. Neither the Depositor nor the Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be obligated to monitor or supervise the performance by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator of its duties hereunder. In case a Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event has occurred (which has not been cured or waived), the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Sections 7.2 and 7.4, shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and shall use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent institution would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such institution’s own affairs. Any permissive right of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator set forth in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty. The Trustee (or the Servicer or the Special Servicer on its behalf) and the Certificate Administrator (or the Servicer or the Special Servicer on its behalf), as applicable, shall have the power to exercise all the rights of a holder of the Mortgage Loan on behalf of the Certificateholders, the VRR Interest Owner and the Companion Loan Holders (or, if a Companion Loan Holder is an Other Securitization Trust, the related Other Depositor and any other party to any Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement), subject to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, the Co-Lender Agreement; provided, however, that the Lender’s obligations under the Mortgage Loan Documents shall be exercised by the Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, pursuant to this Agreement.

 

(b)           Subject to Sections 8.2(a) and 8.3, each of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator that are specifically required to be furnished 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 and the Certificate Administrator shall take such action as it deems appropriate to have the instrument corrected, and if the instrument is not corrected to the Trustee’s or the

 


    -181-


     

    
Certificate Administrator’s reasonable satisfaction, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, shall provide notice thereof to the Certificateholders. Neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for the accuracy or content of any resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument furnished by the Depositor, the Servicer, or the Special Servicer and accepted by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, in good faith, pursuant to this Agreement.

 

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

 

(i)          No implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator and each of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates, resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders, opinions or other instruments furnished to the Trustee and/or the Certificate Administrator 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)          neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or such Responsible Officer was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

 

(iii)          neither the Trustee nor 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 the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, under this Agreement;

 

(iv)            neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be charged with knowledge of a Mortgage Loan Event of Default or 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 or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, may be required to take action unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, obtains actual knowledge of such failure, act or circumstance or the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, receives written notice of such failure from the Servicer, the

 


    -182-


     

    
Special Servicer, the Depositor or Holders of the Certificates evidencing, in the aggregate, not less than 25% of the Voting Rights of the Regular Certificates;

(vi)          neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator 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 and for which it would not be indemnified for pursuant to this Agreement.

 

(d)           None of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator to (i) expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers hereunder if there are reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, or (ii) perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the Servicer or the Special Servicer under this Agreement, except, with respect to the Trustee, during such time, if any, as the Trustee shall be the successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges of, the Servicer or the Special Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be responsible and shall have liability in connection with the duties assumed by the Authenticating Agent, and the Certificate Registrar hereunder, unless the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator is acting in any such capacity hereunder; provided further that in any such capacity the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall have all of the rights, protections and indemnities provided to it as Trustee and Certificate Administrator hereunder, as applicable.

 

8.2.          Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator. (a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.1, Section 8.5(c) and Section 8.13:

 

(i)          each of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator may request and rely upon and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, direction of the Depositor, Officer’s Certificate, auditor’s certificate or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, 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;

 


    -183-


     

    
(ii)           each of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator may consult with counsel, and any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such Opinion of Counsel;

 

(iii)          neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be under any obligation to exercise any of 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 or the VRR Interest Owner, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders or the VRR Interest Owner shall have offered to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator 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, however, that nothing contained herein shall relieve the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator of the obligation, upon the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event, as the case may be, that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, has actual knowledge of (which has not been cured or waived), to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent Person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such Person’s own affairs;

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

 


    -184-


     

    
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 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, but the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall not be relieved of any of its duties or obligations by virtue of the appointment of any agents or attorneys;

 

(vii)         the Certificate Administrator shall not be liable for any loss on any investment of funds made by it pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, provided, however, this clause (vii) shall not relieve the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator (solely in their respective commercial capacities and not in their respective capacities hereunder) of any liabilities with respect to investments issued by such entity, as applicable, in their respective commercial capacities;

 

(viii)         neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator hereunder shall be personally liable hereunder solely by reason of any act or failure to act of any predecessor or successor Trustee or Certificate Administrator hereunder;

Interest Owner, subject to the provisions of this Agreement.


 


(d)       In

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.


 


8.11.       Appointment
of Authenticating Agent and Custodian. (a) The Certificate Administrator may appoint an agent or agents which shall be authorized
to act on behalf of the Certificate Administrator to authenticate Certificates (each such agent, an “Authenticating Agent”),
and Certificates so authenticated shall be entitled 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 8.11 the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital
and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If, at any time, an Authenticating Agent shall cease
to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.11, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately
in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section 8.11. 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 Authenticating Agent, provided such Person
shall be otherwise eligible under this Section 8.11, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on
the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.


 


(c)       An
Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving at least thirty (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
the 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
8.11, the Certificate Administrator may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent and shall mail written notice of such appointment
by first class mail, postage prepaid to all Certificateholders as their names and addresses appear in the Certificate Register.
Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers
and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent herein. No successor
Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section 8.11.


 


(d)       The
Certificate Administrator is hereby appointed as the initial Custodian. Any successor Certificate Administrator appointed pursuant
to Section 8.7 and Section 8.8 shall be deemed to be appointed as the successor Custodian upon the effectiveness
of its appointment as the successor Certificate Administrator.


 


8.12.       Indemnification
by the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator. The Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, severally
and not jointly, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trust from and against any claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures,
legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses incurred by the Trust that arise out of or are
based upon (i) a breach by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator (including in its capacity as 17g-5 Information Provider)
of its representations and warranties, as applicable, under this Agreement or (ii) negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct
on the part of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator (including in its capacities as Custodian, Certificate Registrar,
Authenticating Agent, paying agent and 17g-5 Information Provider), as applicable, in the performance of its obligations or its
negligent disregard of such obligations under this Agreement.


 


The
Certificate Administrator shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor from and against any claims, losses, damages, penalties,
fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses incurred by the Depositor
or its Affiliates that arise out of or are based upon (i) a breach by the Certificate Administrator, in its capacity as 17g-5
Information Provider, of its obligations under this Agreement or (ii) negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part

as 17g-5 Information Provider, in the performance of such obligations 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 Trust 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 the 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 Mortgage
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 the 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 the Special Servicer, as applicable, by the Trust
pursuant to Section 3.4(c) from funds on deposit in the Collection Account. Neither the Certificate Administrator, the
Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be liable for any inability or delay of the Depository to make a distribution as a result
of such inconsistencies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Depository on the Remittance
Date or as soon as reasonably possible of any such inconsistencies.

the 17g-5 Information Provider shall notify the Servicer or the Special Servicer when such information, report, notice or document
has been posted. The Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may, but is not obligated to, send such information, report,
notice or other document to the applicable Rating Agency or Rating Agencies so long as such information, report, notice or other
document (a) was previously provided to the 17g-5 Information Provider or (b) is simultaneously provided to the 17g-5 Information
Provider.


 


Each
of the Servicer and the Special Servicer (each, a “17g-5 Indemnifying Party”) hereby expressly agrees to indemnify
and hold harmless the Depositor and its respective officers, directors, shareholders, members, managers, employees, agents, Affiliates
and controlling persons, and the Trust Fund (each, a “17g-5 Indemnified Party”), from and against any and all
losses, liabilities, damages, claims, judgments, costs, fees, penalties, fines, forfeitures or other expenses (including reasonable
legal fees and expenses) to which any such 17g-5 Indemnified Party may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange
Act or otherwise, pursuant to a third-party claim, insofar as such losses, liabilities, damages, claims, judgments, costs, fees,
penalties, fines, forfeitures or other expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) arise out of or are based upon
such 17g-5 Indemnifying Party’s breach of (i) any obligation relating to the provision of information to the Rating Agencies
set forth in the first paragraph of Section 8.14(c) or (ii) any obligation set forth in the third, fourth and fifth paragraphs
of Section 8.14(c), and shall reimburse such 17g-5 Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred
by such 17g-5 Indemnified Party in connection with






    -206-


     

    

 


investigating
or defending any such action or claim, as such expenses are incurred. The foregoing indemnity obligation shall be in addition
to the indemnity obligation of any 17g-5 Indemnifying Party under Section 6.6 and shall not be construed as limiting such
17g-5 Indemnifying Party’s indemnity obligations under Section 6.6.


 


9.       CERTAIN
MATTERS RELATING TO THE DIRECTING HOLDER


 


9.1.       Selection
and Removal of the Directing Holder


 


(a)       As
of the Closing Date, the Directing Holder is PGIM, Inc., a New Jersey corporation, on behalf of one or more funds and/or accounts
for which it serves as investment manager.


 


(b)       The
Directing Holder shall be selected by the Majority Controlling Class Certificateholders, as determined by the Certificate Registrar
from time to time. Each Holder of the Certificates of the Controlling Class shall be entitled to vote in each election of the
Directing Holder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the (x) Directing Holder cannot be any Borrower Related Party,
any Manager or any of their servicers or respective agents or Affiliates and (y) for purposes of determining the Majority Controlling
Class Certificateholders and/or appointing the Directing Holder, any Borrower Related Party, any Restricted Holder, any Manager
or any of their servicers or respective agents or Affiliates shall be deemed not to be a Certificateholder and shall not be entitled
to exercise such right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator
may conclusively rely on any Investor Certification provided to it in connection with the foregoing and may require that Investor
Certifications are resubmitted from time to time in accordance with its policies and procedures.


 


(c)       The
Majority Controlling Class Certificateholders shall give written notice to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer
and the Special Servicer of the appointment of the initial and any subsequent Directing Holder (in order to receive notices hereunder).
Any Controlling Class Certificateholder that owns, and is identified (with contact information) to the Servicer, the Special Servicer,
the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator as owning, the largest aggregate Certificate Balance of Certificates of the Controlling
Class, shall give written notice to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer and the Special Servicer of the appointment
of a Directing Holder (if any) (in order to receive notices hereunder) by such Controlling Class Certificateholder for so long
as such Controlling Class Certificateholder owns the largest aggregate Certificate Balance of the Controlling Class and shall
also state that such Directing Holder is not a Borrower or Borrower Related Party.


 


(d)       The
Directing Holder may be removed at any time by the written vote of the Majority Controlling Class Certificateholders, and a copy
of the results of such vote shall be delivered to the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, 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 the Trustee and to notify the Certificate Administrator and all the parties
hereto of the selection of a Directing Holder or the resignation or removal thereof. Any






    -207-


     

    

 


Certificateholder
or its designee at any time appointed Directing Holder is hereby deemed to have agreed by virtue of its purchase of a Certificate
to notify the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Special Servicer and the Servicer of the identity of the Directing Holder
and any resignation or removal thereof when such Certificateholder or its designee is appointed Directing Holder and when it is
removed or resigns. In addition, upon the request of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, the Certificate Administrator
shall provide the name of the then-current Directing Holder and a list of the Certificateholders (or Beneficial Owners, if applicable,
at the expense of the requesting party) of the Controlling Class to such requesting party. In addition, (i) any Holder owning
more than fifty percent (50%) of the applicable Controlling Class (by Certificate Balance) is hereby deemed to have agreed by
virtue of its purchase of a Certificate to notify the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator when it no longer holds the majority
of the Controlling Class Certificates (by Certificate Balance), and (ii) each of the Holders of the Controlling Class Certificates
who collectively own more than fifty percent (50%) of the applicable Controlling Class (by Certificate Balance) is hereby deemed
to have agreed by virtue of its purchase of a Certificate to notify the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator when it transfers
its Controlling Class Certificate (or its beneficial interest in the Controlling Class Certificates) and, as a result of such
transfer, such Holders who collectively appointed the Directing Holder no longer collectively own more than the applicable percentage
of the Controlling Class Certificates (by Certificate Balance) set forth above, provided in no event with respect to either
clause (i) or (ii) shall any Controlling Class Certificateholder have any liability to any Person for the failure
to provide any such notices.


 


(f)       Once
a Directing Holder has been selected, each of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator,
the Trustee and each other Certificateholder (or Beneficial Owner, if applicable) shall be entitled to rely on such selection
unless, 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 Directing Holder or the appointment of a new
Directing Holder.


 


(g)       Until
it receives 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 Directing Holder.


 


(h)       The
Directing Holder shall be responsible for its own expenses.


 


Notwithstanding
any other provision to this Agreement, in the event that no Controlling Class Certificateholder, Directing Holder or no Risk Retention
Consultation Party has been appointed or identified to the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and the Servicer or
Special Servicer, as applicable, has attempted to obtain such information from the Certificate Administrator and no such entity
has been identified to the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, then the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable,
shall have no duty to consult with, provide notice to, or seek the approval or consent of any such Controlling Class Certificateholder,
Directing Holder or Risk Retention Consultation Party as the case may be until such time as a Directing Holder or Risk Retention
Consultation Party meeting the definition thereof is so appointed or identified. Upon request, the Certificate Administrator shall
provide such information as is then in its possession to identify the Directing Holder or Risk Retention Consultation Party to
the Servicer and the Special Servicer.

9.2.       Limitation
on Liability of Directing Holder; Acknowledgements of the Certificateholders.


 


Neither the Controlling Class nor the Directing
Holder shall have any liability to the Trust, the Certificateholders or the VRR Interest Owner for any action taken, or for refraining
from the taking of any action, or for errors in judgment.


 


By
its acceptance of a Certificate, each Certificateholder acknowledges and agrees and each VRR Interest Owner acknowledges and agrees
that the Directing Holder and/or the Controlling Class Certificateholders (i) may have special relationships and interests that
conflict with those of Holders of one or more Classes of the Certificates, including owning securities backed by the Companion
Loans or any interest in the Companion Loans, (ii) may act solely in the interests of the Holders of the Controlling Class, including
the Directing Holder, (iii) does not have any duties or liability to the Trust or to the Holders of any Class of Certificates
or the VRR Interest Owner, (iv) may take actions that favor the interests of one or more Classes of the Certificates, including
the Holders of the Controlling Class, over the interests of the Holders of one or more other Classes of the Certificates or the
VRR Interest Owner, and (v) shall have no liability whatsoever to the Trust, any other party to this Agreement, any Certificateholder,
the VRR Interest Owner or any other Person (including any Borrower Related Party) for having so acted as set forth in clauses
(i) through (iv) above, and no Certificateholder or the VRR Interest Owner may take any action whatsoever against the
Directing Holder, the Controlling Class Certificateholders or any director, officer, employee, partner, member, shareholder, agent
or principal of the Directing Holder or the Controlling Class Certificateholders, as applicable, as a result of the Directing
Holder or the Controlling Class Certificateholders having so acted.


 


9.3.       Rights
and Powers of the Directing Holder.


 


(a)       Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, except as set forth in, and in any event subject to, Section 3.24(d), Section 9.3(b),
Section 9.3(c) and the second (2nd) and third (3rd) paragraphs of this Section 9.3(a), (i) the Servicer shall not
be permitted to take any of the actions constituting a Major Decision unless it has obtained the consent of the Special Servicer
which consent shall be deemed given if the Special Servicer does not object within fifteen (15) Business Days (after delivery
of a written recommendation and analysis to the Special Servicer and information reasonably requested by the Special Servicer)
unless such actions are part of an Asset Status Report approved by the Directing Holder under Section 3.10(i) or is otherwise
implemented by the Special Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) prior to the occurrence and continuance
of a Control Termination Event, the Special Servicer shall not be permitted to (A) consent to the Servicer’s taking any
of the actions constituting a Major Decision, or (B) itself take any of the actions constituting a Major Decision, but subject
to Section 3.10(i) if, in either case, the Directing Holder has objected to the action in writing within ten (10) Business
Days after receipt of a written report by the Special Servicer describing in reasonable detail (i) the background and circumstances
requiring action of the Special Servicer, (ii) the proposed course of action recommended, and (iii) any direct or indirect conflict
of interest in the action (provided that if such written objection has not been received by the Special Servicer within
such ten (10) Business Day period, then the Directing Holder shall be deemed to have approved such action). In the event that
the Special Servicer or Servicer, as


 






    -209-


     

    

 


applicable,
determines that immediate action, with respect to a Major Decision, or any other matter requiring consent of the Directing Holder
prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event under this Agreement (or consultation with the Directing
Holder after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, but prior to the occurrence of a Consultation
Termination Event), is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owner, the Special Servicer
or Servicer, as the case may be, may take any such action without waiting for the Directing Holder’s response (or without
such consultation) so long as the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, has made a reasonable effort to contact the
Directing Holder to inform it of such need. The Special Servicer is not required to obtain the consent of the Directing Holder
for any Major Decision upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event; provided, however,
that after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event but prior to the occurrence of a Consultation
Termination Event, the Special Servicer shall not be required to obtain the consent of the Directing Holder but shall consult
with the Directing Holder on a non-binding basis in connection with any Major Decision (and such other matters that are subject
to consent, approval, direction or consultation rights of the Directing Holder hereunder) and to consider alternative actions
recommended by the Directing Holder in respect of such matters. With respect to any action requiring the Directing Holder’s
consent, if the Directing Holder does not respond to a request for its consent within ten (10) Business Days (or such other length
of time as specified in this Agreement with respect to any particular action requiring consent), such consent will be deemed to
have been given. In the event that no Directing Holder has been appointed or identified to the Servicer or the Special Servicer,
as applicable, and the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, has attempted to obtain such information from the Certificate
Administrator and no such entity has been identified to the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, then until such time
as the new Directing Holder 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 Directing Holder as the case may be.


 


In
addition, for so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, subject to Section 9.3(b), Section
9.3(c) and the immediately following paragraph, the Directing Holder may direct the Special Servicer to take, or to refrain
from taking, such other actions with respect to the Mortgage Loan as the Directing Holder may reasonably deem advisable. With
respect to any action requiring the consent of the Directing Holder hereunder, to the extent the Directing Holder does not respond
to request for consent within 10 Business Days, consent shall be deemed given.


 


If
the Special Servicer or Servicer, as applicable, determines that a refusal to consent by the Directing Holder or any objection,
consultation or direction or advice from the Directing Holder, the Controlling Class Certificateholders, a Risk Retention Consultation
Party or any other Person would (A) otherwise require or cause the Special Servicer or Servicer, as applicable, to violate the
terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, the Co-Lender Agreement, applicable law, provisions of the Code resulting in an Adverse
REMIC Event or this Agreement, (including without limitation, actions inconsistent with Accepted Servicing Practices), (B) expose
any Certificateholder, VRR Interest owner, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the
Trust or their respective Affiliates, officers, directors or agent to any claim, suit or liability, (C) result in the imposition
of a tax upon the Trust (other than a tax on “net income from foreclosure property”) or loss of REMIC status or


 






    -210-


     

    

 


(D)
materially expand the scope of the Special Servicer’s, the Servicer’s, the Trustee’s or the Certificate Administrator’s
responsibilities hereunder, then the Special Servicer or Servicer, as applicable, shall disregard such refusal to consent, direction
or advice and notify the Directing Holder, each Risk Retention Consultation Party the Trustee, 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 Directing Holder or any Risk Retention Consultation Party that does not violate the Mortgage Loan Documents, the Co-Lender
Agreement, this Agreement, any applicable law, provisions of the Code resulting in an Adverse REMIC Event or 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.


 


(b)       Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, but subject to the third paragraph of Section 9.3(a) (i) after the occurrence
and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Directing Holder shall have no right to consent to or direct any
action taken or not taken by any party to this Agreement; (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination
Event but so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, the Directing Holder shall remain entitled to receive any
notices, reports or information to which it is entitled pursuant to this Agreement, and the Servicer, Special Servicer and any
other applicable party shall consult with the Directing Holder in connection with any action to be taken or refrained from taking
to the extent set forth herein; and (iii) during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Holder shall
have no direction, consultation or consent rights hereunder and no right to receive any notices, reports or information (other
than notices, reports or information required to be delivered to all Certificateholders) or any other rights as Directing Holder,
and the Controlling Class will not be entitled to appoint a Directing Holder. For the avoidance of doubt, if a Control Termination
Event with respect to the Class F Certificates has occurred and is continuing but no Consultation Termination Event has occurred,
subject to Section 9.3(c), the Class F Certificates shall continue to be the Controlling Class solely for purposes of enabling
the Directing Holder to exercise the rights described in clause (ii) of this paragraph.


 


If
a Control Termination Event no longer exists, then the Directing Holder shall regain all the consent and direction rights of the
Directing Holder set forth in this Agreement and the Controlling Class shall regain the right to appoint a Directing Holder as
set forth in this Agreement.


 


In
connection with the Directing Holder’s right to consent or consult with respect to a Major Decision, as applicable, if the
Servicer or Special Servicer determines that action is necessary to protect the Property or the interests of the Certificateholders
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 Servicer or Special Servicer may take actions with respect to the Property before the expiration
of the applicable period for the Directing Holder to respond as described in this section, if the Servicer or Special Servicer
reasonably determines in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices that failure to take such actions before the expiration
of such period would materially adversely affect the interest of the Certificateholders, and the Special Servicer has made a reasonable
effort to contact the Directing Holder.


 






    -211-


     

    

 


After
the occurrence and during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Holder shall have no consultation
or consent rights hereunder 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 Directing Holder. However, the Directing
Holder shall maintain the right to exercise its Voting Rights for the same purposes as any other Certificateholder.


 


(c)       For
purposes of determining the Directing Holder, exercising any rights of the Controlling Class or receiving Asset Status Reports
or any other information under this Agreement other than Distribution Date Statements, any holder of any interest in a Controlling
Class Certificate who is a Borrower Related Party, the Manager or an agent or Affiliate of the foregoing shall not be deemed to
be a Holder or Beneficial Owner of the Controlling Class and shall not be entitled to exercise such rights or receive such information.
If, as a result of the preceding sentence, no Holder or Beneficial Owner of Controlling Class Certificates would be eligible to
exercise such rights, there will be no Controlling Class.


 


(d)       The
Certificate Administrator shall, within five (5) Business Days after its determination that a Control Termination Event or a Consultation
Termination Event has occurred or ceased to exist, post a “special notice” of such occurrence or cessation of a Control
Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event on the Certificate Administrator’s Website.


 


(e)       For
so long as no Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Special Servicer shall provide notice to the
Directing Holder of any annual meeting with the Borrower and the Manager pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Documents, consult with
the Directing Holder regarding an agenda for such meeting, and invite the Directing Holder to attend such meeting (which invitation
the Directing Holder may accept or decline in its discretion). The Special Servicer shall provide advance notice to the Borrower
and the Manager that the Directing Holder has no authority to act on behalf of the holder of the Trust Loan.


 


(f)       For
so long as no Consultation Termination Event has occurred, the Special Servicer shall provide notice to the Directing Holder of
any material notices that the Special Servicer has received under or related to any franchise agreement, management agreement,
comfort letter, subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement, recognition agreement or similar agreement and the Special
Servicer is required to consult with the Directing Holder with respect to the contents of such notices.


 


9.4.       Directing
Holder Contact with Servicer and Special Servicer.


 


Upon
reasonable request, each of the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall, without charge, make a Servicing Officer available to
answer questions from the Directing Holder (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event) regarding
the performance and servicing of the Trust 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 Trust Loan after a Special Servicing Loan Event and the servicing
of the Foreclosed Property) for which the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, is responsible.


 






    -212-


     

    

 


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 the Trust
Fund or otherwise materially harm the Trust or the Trust Fund.


 


9.5.       The
Risk Retention Consultation Parties.


 


(a)       The
Special Servicer shall consult, solely on a non-binding basis (and consider alternative actions recommended by such party) with
each Risk Retention Consultation Party with respect to any Major Decision in the same manner as set forth in Section 9.4
with respect to the consultation rights of the Directing Holder after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination
Event and prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event. In the event the Special Servicer receives
no response from a Risk Retention Consultation Party within ten (10) 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, the Special Servicer shall not be
obligated to consult with such Risk Retention Consultation Party solely with respect to the specific matter.


 


(b)       If
a Risk Retention Consultation Party is a Borrower Related 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 no consultation rights as set
forth in this Agreement.


 


(c)       Barclays
Bank, Wells Fargo Bank and GSMC shall be the initial Risk Retention Consultation Parties and shall remain so until a successor
is appointed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Upon the resignation or removal of any Risk Retention Consultation Party,
any successor Risk Retention Consultation Party shall deliver to the parties to this Agreement a certification substantially in
the form of Exhibit K-3 to this Agreement prior to being recognized as a new Risk Retention Consultation Party. The parties
hereto shall be entitled to assume that a Risk Retention Consultation Party has not changed absent such notice. A Risk Retention
Consultation Party may not be a Borrower Related Party.


 


(d)       Once
a Risk Retention Consultation Party has been selected, each of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee,
the Certificate Administrator, each Certificateholder (or Beneficial Owner, if applicable) and each other VRR ABS Interest Owner
shall be entitled to rely on such selection unless Barclays Bank or Wells Fargo (in the case of the Risk Retention Consultation
Party for the Class VRR Certificates) or GSMC (in the case of the Risk Retention Consultation Party for the VRR Interest) or such
Risk Retention Consultation Party itself shall have notified the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate
Administrator and each other VRR ABS Interest Owner, in writing, of the selection of such new Risk Retention Consultation Party.


 


(e)       In
the event that no Risk Retention Consultation Party has been appointed or identified to the Servicer or the Special Servicer,
as applicable, and the Servicer or the Special


 






    -213-


     

    

 


Servicer,
as applicable, has attempted to obtain such information from the Certificate Administrator and no such entity has been identified
to the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, then until such time as the related new Risk Retention Consultation Party
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 Risk Retention Consultation Party as the case may be.


 


(f)       No
Risk Retention Consultation Party will have any liability to the Trust, the Certificateholders or any VRR ABS Interest Owner (other
than the VRR ABS Interest Owner that appointed it) other than for having acted in accordance with or as permitted by this Agreement.


 


Each
Certificateholder and the VRR Interest Owner acknowledges and agrees, by its acceptance of its Certificates or the VRR Interest,
as applicable, that each Risk Retention Consultation Party: (i) may have special relationships and interests that conflict with
those of Holders of one or more Classes of Certificates or VRR ABS Interest Owners other than the applicable VRR ABS Interest
Owner; (ii) may act solely in the interests of the applicable VRR ABS Interest Owner; (iii) does not have any liability or duties
to the Holders of any Class of Certificates or any VRR ABS Interest Owner other than the applicable VRR ABS Interest Owner; (iv)
may take actions that favor the interests of the Holders of one or more Classes or the applicable VRR ABS Interest Owner over
the interests of the Holders of one or more other Classes of Certificates or other VRR ABS Interest Owner; and (v) shall have
no liability whatsoever (other than to the applicable VRR ABS Interest Owner) for having so acted as set forth in clauses (i)
through (iv) above, and no Certificateholder or other VRR ABS Interest Owner may take any action whatsoever against
any Risk Retention Consultation Party or any director, officer, employee, agent or principal of such Risk Retention Consultation
Party for having so acted.


 


10.       TERMINATION


 


10.1.       Termination.
(a) The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator
and the Trustee created hereby (other than the obligation to make certain payments to the Companion Loan Holders and the obligation
of the Certificate Administrator to make certain payments to Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owner after the final Distribution
Date to the extent set forth in this Agreement and other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to file final tax
returns for the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC, to maintain books and records of the Trust Fund for such period of
time as it maintains its own books and records, and the indemnification rights and obligations of the parties hereto) shall terminate
upon the last action required to be taken by the Certificate Administrator on the final Distribution Date pursuant to this Article
10 following the later of (i) the final payment on the Certificates and the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests or (ii) the
liquidation of the Trust Loan (including, without limitation, the sale of the Trust Loan pursuant to a intercreditor agreement
or this Agreement, as applicable) or the liquidation or abandonment of the Property and all other Collateral for the Trust Loan,
provided, however, that in no event shall the Trust continue beyond the expiration of twenty-one (21) years from
the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late United States Ambassador to the Court of St.
James’s, living on the date

hereof.
Upon the termination of this Trust pursuant to a final payment on the Certificates, the Custodian shall deliver the balance of
the Mortgage File to the Servicer.


 


(b)       On
the final Distribution Date, all amounts on deposit in the Collection Account and not otherwise payable to a Person other than
the Certificateholders or the VRR Interest Owner, shall be applied generally as described in Section 4.1.


 


(c)       Notice
of any termination, specifying the final Distribution Date (which shall be a date that would otherwise be a Distribution Date)

the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Certificate Administrator by letter to Certificateholders
mailed as soon as practicable specifying (A) the final Distribution Date upon which final payment of the Certificates shall be

10.2.       Additional
Termination Requirements. In connection with any termination pursuant to Section 10.1 other than final payment on the
Trust Loan, the Trust Fund shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional requirements, unless the Certificate
Administrator has obtained at the expense of the Trust, 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
eighty-nine (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

Servicer shall sell any remaining assets (other than cash) of the Trust Fund and credit the proceeds thereof to the Trust Fund;
and


 


(iii)       At
or after such time as the proceeds from the disposition of the remaining assets of the Trust Fund shall have been credited to
the Trust Fund, the Certificate Administrator shall cause all remaining amounts held (A) as part of the Lower-Tier REMIC to be

the Depositor may conclusively rely upon an Opinion of Counsel to such effect;


 


(vi)       to
make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement or any other change, provided
that the required action shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder (including,

Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, determine that the commercial mortgage backed securities industry standard
for such provisions has changed, in order to conform to such industry standard, (B) such modification does not cause the Upper-Tier
REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel and (C) Rating Agency Confirmation
is obtained; provided, that prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, any amendment pursuant to this
clause (viii) that would adversely affect the rights of the Controlling Class Certificateholder or the Directing Holder
will be subject to the consent of such affected party or parties;


 


(ix)       to

the 17g-5 Information Provider or the Trustee, unless such party consents thereto; provided, further that such amendment
shall not adversely affect in any material respects the interests of any Certificateholders or the Companion Loan Holders, as


 






    -217-


     

    

 


evidenced
by (x) an Opinion of Counsel or (y) if any Certificate Companion Loan Security is then rated, receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation

Retention Certificates under this Agreement or the related risk retention agreement without the consent of each Holder of the
Risk Retention Certificates; and


 


(xi)       to
modify, eliminate or add to any of the provisions of this Agreement to such extent as will be necessary for any Other Securitization

(iii) or (iv).


 


No
other amendment to the Trust and Servicing Agreement may be made without the consent of the Companion Loan Holders if such amendment
materially adversely affects the rights of the Companion Loan Holders under this Agreement.


 


Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no such amendment may change in any manner any defined term used in any Trust Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations
of any Trust Loan Seller under the Trust Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Trust Loan Seller as

Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator
and the Trustee with the written consent of the Holders of Certificates evidencing, in the aggregate, not less than 51% of the
Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any holder of a Class VRR Certificate)
adversely affected thereby (as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel) for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in
any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the

and adversely affects the VRR Interest shall not be effective without the consent of the VRR Interest Owner.

VRR Interest Owner shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as the Certificate Administrator may prescribe.


 


Notwithstanding
any contrary provisions of this Agreement, (i) neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall consent to any amendment
to this Agreement unless it shall have first been furnished with an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such amendment is authorized
or permitted hereunder and all conditions to such amendment have been satisfied and (ii) no amendment shall be made to this Agreement
without the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator first receiving in writing an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the
party requesting the amendment, that the amendment will not result in the imposition of federal income tax on the Trust or cause
either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code.

the consent of the Trust Loan Sellers, (ii) impairs the rights of an Initial Purchaser hereunder without the written consent of
such Initial Purchaser, (iii) changes any rights or obligations of the VRR Interest Owner, or that materially and adversely affects
the VRR Interest Owner, as a third party beneficiary or otherwise hereunder, without the written consent of the VRR Interest Owner,
and each of the Servicer, Special Servicer, Trustee or Certificate Administrator may, but will not be obligated to, enter into
any amendment to this Agreement that it determines affects its respective rights, duties or immunities or creates any additional
liability for the Servicer, Special Servicer, Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, under this Agreement.


 


(c)       Promptly
after the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall post a copy of the same to the Certificate

and, if neither the Depositor nor any successor thereto is in existence, the Trust Fund).

reason whatsoever held invalid, then, to the extent permitted by applicable law, such covenants, agreements, provisions or terms

affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement or of the Certificates or the VRR Interest or
the rights of the Holders thereof.


 


11.7.       Limitation
on Rights of Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owner. The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder or VRR Interest
Owner shall not operate to terminate this Agreement or the Trust Fund, nor entitle such Certificateholder’s or VRR Interest

No Certificateholder or VRR Interest Owner, solely by virtue of its status as a Certificateholder or VRR Interest Owner, shall have any right by virtue or by availing itself of any provisions of this Agreement, the Certificates or the VRR Interest to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, any Certificate or the VRR Interest, unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee a written notice of a Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event, as the case may be, and of the continuance thereof, as herein before provided, and unless the VRR Interest Owner and Holders of Certificates aggregating more than 50% of the Voting Rights of the Certificates shall also have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses, and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee, for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding; it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder and the VRR Interest Owner with every other Certificateholder, VRR Interest Owner and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Certificates or the VRR Interest Owner shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing itself or themselves of any provisions of this Agreement, the Certificates or the VRR Interest to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other of the Certificates or the VRR Interest Owner, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder or the VRR Interest Owner except as provided herein or therein with respect to entitlement to payments or to enforce any right under this Agreement, the Certificates or the VRR Interest Owner, except in the manner herein provided and for the common benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section, each and every Certificateholder, the VRR Interest Owner and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity. By virtue of its purchase of a Certificate or acquisition of the VRR Interest, as the case may be, each Certificateholder and the VRR Interest Owner, as applicable, shall be deemed to have acknowledged that it shall make its own decisions regarding its rights and protections relevant to the Trust and shall not be relying on the Trustee or any other deal party.

 

11.8.    Certificates Nonassessable and Fully Paid. The Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owner shall not be personally liable for obligations of the Trust Fund, that the interests in the Trust Fund represented by the Certificates and the VRR Interest shall be nonassessable for any reason whatsoever, and the Certificates, upon due authentication thereof by the Certificate Administrator pursuant to this Agreement, are and shall be deemed fully paid.

 

11.9.    Reproduction of Documents. This Agreement and all documents relating thereto, including, without limitation, (i) consents, waivers and modifications which may hereafter be executed, (ii) documents received by any party at the closing, and (iii) financial statements, certificates and other information previously or hereafter furnished, may be reproduced by any photographic, photostatic, microfilm, micro-card, miniature photographic or other similar process. The parties agree that any such reproduction shall be admissible in evidence as the original itself in any judicial or administrative proceeding, whether or not the original is in existence and whether or not such reproduction was made by a party in the regular course of business, and that any enlargement, facsimile or further reproduction of such reproduction shall likewise be admissible in evidence.

 


    -227-


     

    
11.10.  No Partnership. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed or construed to create a partnership or joint venture between the parties hereto.

11.16.  Grant of a Security Interest.

 

The Depositor intends that the conveyance of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to the Trust Loan pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute a sale and not a pledge of security for a loan. If such conveyance is deemed to be a pledge of security for a loan, however, the Depositor intends that the rights and obligations of the parties to such loan shall be established pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Depositor also intends and agrees that, in such event, (i) the Depositor shall be deemed to have granted to the Trustee (in such capacity) a first priority security interest in the Depositor’s entire right, title and interest in and to the assets comprising the Trust Fund, including without limitation, the Trust Loan, all principal and interest received or receivable with respect to the Trust Loan (other than payments of interest due and payable on or prior to the Cut-off Date and principal payments received on or prior to the Cut-off Date), all amounts held from time to time in the Collection Account (subject to the rights of the Companion Loan Holders with respect to any amounts that are required to be distributed to the Companion Loans pursuant to the Co-Lender Agreement), the Distribution Accounts, and, if established, the Foreclosed Property Account, and all reinvestment earnings on such amounts, and all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to the proceeds of any title, hazard or other insurance policies related to the Trust Loan and (ii) this Agreement shall constitute a

 


    -229-


     

    
security agreement under applicable law. This Section 11.16 shall constitute notice to the Trustee pursuant to any of the requirements of the applicable UCC.

 

11.17.  Cooperation with the Trust Loan Sellers with Respect to Rights Under the Mortgage Loan Agreement. It is expressly agreed and understood that, notwithstanding the assignment of the Mortgage Loan Documents the rights of the Lender under the Securitization Cooperation Provisions shall be retained by the Trust Loan Sellers and shall not be part of the Trust Fund. Therefore, the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee hereby agree to cooperate with the Trust Loan Sellers and the Depositor with respect to the benefits of the Securitization Cooperation Provisions, but no other portion of the Mortgage Loan Documents, to permit the Trust Loan Sellers, the Depositor and their affiliates to enforce the Securitization Cooperation Provisions for their respective benefits.

 

11.18.  Recognition of U.S. Special Resolution Regimes. 

 

(a)        In the event a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of this Agreement (and any interest and obligation in or under, and any property securing, this Agreement) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement (and any interest and obligation in or under, and any property securing, this Agreement) were governed by the laws of the United States or a State of the United States.

 

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

12.1.    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 Trust REMIC as a REMIC under the Code.

(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.

Within thirty days of the Closing Date, the Certificate Administrator shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the IRS, on IRS Form 8811 or as otherwise may be required by the Code, the name, title and address of the Persons that Holders of the Certificates and the VRR Interest Owner 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

 


    -231-


     

    
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 ten (10) Business Days of the Closing Date to provide any information reasonably requested by the Servicer or the Certificate Administrator and necessary to make such filing). The Certificate Administrator 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, however, the Certificate Administrator shall also be directed to execute such IRS Form W-9 (in lieu of the Trustee) if permitted by IRS regulations.

 

(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 file or cause to be 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 Trust REMIC. Except as provided in Section 12.1(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, 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 Trust 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 and the VRR Interest Owner 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.

 


    -232-


     

    
(h)        The Certificate Administrator shall be the “partnership representative” within the meaning of Section 6223 of the Code of the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC. The Holders of the Class R Certificates, by acceptance of the Class R Certificates, agree, on behalf of themselves and all successor Holders of such Class R Certificates, to the irrevocable appointment of the Certificate Administrator as the “partnership representative” for the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC.

 

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

 

(j)         The Certificate Administrator, any Holder of the Class R Certificates, the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not take any action or cause either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to take any action, within their respective control and the scope of their specific respective duties under this Agreement that, under the REMIC Provisions, could reasonably be expected to (i) cause either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or (ii) unless permitted under Section 12.2(a), result in the imposition of a tax upon either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Code Section 860F(a)(2) and the tax on prohibited contributions as defined in Code Section 860G(d)) (any such result in clause (i) or (ii), an “Adverse REMIC Event”) unless (A) the Certificate Administrator and the Servicer have received a Nondisqualification Opinion (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action or of the Trust Fund if taken for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owner) with respect to such action or (B) the Certificate Administrator and the Servicer have received an opinion (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action or of the Trust Fund if taken for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owner) to the effect that such action will not cause either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC and that no tax will actually be imposed.

 

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

 

(l)         The Certificate Administrator shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books and records with respect to the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC on a calendar year and on an accrual basis. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Mortgage Loan Documents (but subject to Section 1.3), all amounts collected on the Trust Loan shall, for federal income tax purposes, be allocated first to interest due and payable on the Trust Loan (including interest on overdue interest) other than Default Interest. 

 


    -233-


     

    
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 Trust REMIC has complied with the REMIC Provisions.

 

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

 

(n)        In order to enable the Certificate Administrator to perform its duties as set forth herein, the Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Certificate Administrator within ten (10) days after the Closing Date, all information or data that the Certificate Administrator reasonably determines to be relevant for tax purposes on the valuations and offering prices of the Certificates, and the VRR Interest, including, without limitation, the yield, issue prices, pricing prepayment assumption) and projected cash flows of the Regular Certificates and the Class R Certificates, and the VRR Interest, as applicable, and the projected cash flows on the Trust Loan. Thereafter, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall provide to the Certificate Administrator, promptly upon request therefor, any such additional information or data that the Certificate Administrator may, from time to time, reasonably request in order to enable the Certificate Administrator to perform its duties as set forth herein. The Certificate Administrator is hereby directed to use any and all such information or data provided by the Trustee, the Depositor, the Servicer and the Special Servicer in the preparation of all federal, state or local income, franchise or other tax and information returns and reports for each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC to Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owner 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 12.1 that result from any failure of the Depositor to provide or to cause to be provided, accurate information or data to the Certificate Administrator (but not resulting from the methodology employed by the Certificate Administrator) on a timely basis and such indemnifications shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the termination of the Certificate Administrator.

 

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

 

The Certificate Administrator’s authority under this Agreement includes the authority to make, and the Certificate Administrator is hereby directed to make, any elections allowed under the Code (i) to avoid the application of Code Section 6221 (or successor provisions) to either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC and (ii) to avoid payment by either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC under Code Section 6225 (or 

 


    -234-


     

    
successor provisions) of any tax, penalty, interest or other amount imposed under the Code that would otherwise be imposed on any Holder of a Class R Certificate, past or present. A Holder of any Class R Certificate agrees, by acquiring such Certificate, to any such elections.

 

12.2.    Foreclosed Property. (a) The parties hereto acknowledge and understand that if the Trust Fund were to acquire the Property as a Foreclosed Property and were to own and operate such Property in a manner consistent with the manner in which the 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 the Foreclosed Property may be considered “net income from foreclosure property” for purposes of Section 860G(c) of the Code and subject to tax at normal corporate income tax rates.

 

In determining whether to acquire and hold the Foreclosed Property, the Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, shall take these circumstances into account and shall only acquire the 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 the 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 the Foreclosed Property, the Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee, if the Manager would not be considered an Independent Contractor, shall either renegotiate the applicable Management Agreement or replace the Manager with a Successor Manager (as appropriate and to the extent permitted under such Management Agreement) so that 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 and the VRR Interest Owner 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)(vii).

 

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;

 

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

 


    -235-


     

    
(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 10% 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 an Independent Contractor, the Foreclosed Property on any date more than ninety (90) days after its acquisition date.

 

(b)        The Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, shall make reasonable efforts to sell 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 Trustee hereunder, shall dispose of the Foreclosed Property prior to the close of the third calendar year following the year in which the Acquisition Date occurs unless the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, has received (or has not been denied) an extension of time (an “Extension”) by the IRS to sell the Foreclosed Property or an opinion of counsel to the effect that the holding by the Trust 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 or the VRR Interest are outstanding, in which event such period shall be extended by such additional specified period, with the expenses of obtaining any such extension of time being an expense of the Trust Fund. If the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, has received (or has not been denied) such Extension, then the Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, shall continue to attempt to sell 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 Trustee, has not received such an Extension and the Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, is unable to sell the Foreclosed Property, within the foregoing period or if the Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, has received such an Extension, and the Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, is unable to sell 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 thirty (30) days of the sale of the 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 Property was acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, (ii) the date of disposition of the Foreclosed Property, (iii) the gross sale price and related selling and other expenses, (iv) accrued interest calculated from the date of acquisition to the disposition date, and (v) such other information as the Certificate Administrator and/or Trustee may reasonably request.

 

12.3.    Prohibited Transactions and Activities. The Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund, shall not permit the sale or disposition of the Trust Loan at a time when the Trust Loan is not the subject of a breach of a representation or is not in default or default with respect thereto is not reasonably foreseeable (except in a disposition pursuant to (i) the bankruptcy or

 


    -236-


     

    
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 the 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 or the VRR Interest as representing regular interests therein, (b) affect the distribution of interest or principal on the Certificates or the VRR Interest, (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.

 

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

All distributions will be made to the Persons entitled thereto by check mailed by first class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder shall have provided the Certificate Administrator with a written request for payment by wire transfer, together with wire instructions, at least five Business Days prior to the related Distribution Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor.  The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the location specified by the Certificate Administrator in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

 

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

 

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Trust and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Trust and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator.  In the case of any conflict between this Certificate and the Trust and Servicing Agreement, the Trust and Servicing Agreement shall control.

 

As provided in the Trust and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer and other procedures 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 transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

 

Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, 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 Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, nor any

agent of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

 

The Trust and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or the Companion Loan Holders, in certain circumstances specified in the Trust and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.  Subject to the rights of the Companion Loan Holders to consent to certain amendments, the Trust and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee with the written consent of the Holders of Certificates representing not less than 51% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any holder of a Class VRR Certificate) adversely affected by the amendment for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Trust and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders.  In addition, no amendment may be made under the Trust and Servicing Agreement without the Trustee and Certificate Administrator first receiving in writing an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party requesting the amendment, that the amendment will not result in the imposition of federal income tax on the Trust or cause either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code.

 

The Trust and Servicing Agreement provides that the respective obligations and responsibilities of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee created with respect to the Certificates (other than the obligation to make certain payments to the Companion Loan Holders and the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make certain payments to Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owner after the final Distribution Date to the extent set forth in the Trust and Servicing Agreement and other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to file final tax returns for the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC, to maintain books and records of the trust fund for such period of time as it maintains its own books and records, and the indemnification rights and obligations of the parties to the Trust and Servicing Agreement) shall terminate upon the last action required to be taken by the Certificate Administrator on the final Distribution Date pursuant to Article 10 of the Trust and Servicing Agreement following the later of (i) the final payment on the Certificates, the VRR Interest and the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests or (ii) the liquidation of the Trust Loan (including, without limitation, the sale of the Trust Loan in accordance with the Trust and Servicing Agreement) or the liquidation or abandonment of the Property and all other Collateral for the Trust Loan, provided, however, that in no event shall the trust created by the Trust and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of twenty-one years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late United States Ambassador to the Court of St. James’s, living on the date 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.

Pursuant to the terms of the Trust and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute, on the 12th day of each calendar month or, if such 12th day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, commencing in March 2020; provided, that in no case shall the Distribution Date be less than four Business Days from the related Determination Date (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the calendar month in which such Distribution Date occurs, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable and any other amounts, if any, allocable to the Class B Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

 

All distributions will be made to the Persons entitled thereto by check mailed by first class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder shall have provided the Certificate Administrator with a written request for payment by wire transfer, together with wire instructions, at least five Business Days prior to the related Distribution Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the location specified by the Certificate Administrator in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

 

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

 

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Trust and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Trust and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator. In the case of any conflict between this Certificate and the Trust and Servicing Agreement, the Trust and Servicing Agreement shall control.

 

As provided in the Trust and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer and other procedures 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 transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

 

Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, 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 Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, nor any

agent of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

 

The Trust and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or the Companion Loan Holders, in certain circumstances specified in the Trust and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Trust and Servicing Agreement. Subject to the rights of the Companion Loan Holders to consent to certain amendments, the Trust and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee with the written consent of the Holders of Certificates representing not less than 51% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any holder of a Class VRR Certificate) adversely affected by the amendment for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Trust and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders. In addition, no amendment may be made under the Trust and Servicing Agreement without the Trustee and Certificate Administrator first receiving in writing an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party requesting the amendment, that the amendment will not result in the imposition of federal income tax on the Trust or cause either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code.

 

The Trust and Servicing Agreement provides that the respective obligations and responsibilities of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee created with respect to the Certificates (other than the obligation to make certain payments to the Companion Loan Holders and the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make certain payments to Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owner after the final Distribution Date to the extent set forth in the Trust and Servicing Agreement and other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to file final tax returns for the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC, to maintain books and records of the trust fund for such period of time as it maintains its own books and records, and the indemnification rights and obligations of the parties to the Trust and Servicing Agreement) shall terminate upon the last action required to be taken by the Certificate Administrator on the final Distribution Date pursuant to Article 10 of the Trust and Servicing Agreement following the later of (i) the final payment on the Certificates, the VRR Interest and the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests or (ii) the liquidation of the Trust Loan (including, without limitation, the sale of the Trust Loan in accordance with the Trust and Servicing Agreement) or the liquidation or abandonment of the Property and all other Collateral for the Trust Loan, provided, however, that in no event shall the trust created by the Trust and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of twenty-one years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late United States Ambassador to the Court of St. James’s, living on the date 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.

In addition, no amendment may be made under the Trust and Servicing Agreement without the Trustee and Certificate Administrator first receiving in writing an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party requesting the amendment, that the amendment will not result in the imposition of federal income tax on the Trust or cause either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code.

 

The Trust and Servicing Agreement provides that the respective obligations and responsibilities of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee created with respect to the Certificates (other than the obligation to make certain payments to the Companion Loan Holders and the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make certain payments to Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owner after the final Distribution Date to the extent set forth in the Trust and Servicing Agreement and other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to file final tax returns for the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC, to maintain books and records of the trust fund for such period of time as it maintains its own books and records, and the indemnification rights and obligations of the parties to the Trust and Servicing Agreement) shall terminate upon the last action required to be taken by the Certificate Administrator on the final Distribution Date pursuant to Article 10 of the Trust and Servicing Agreement following the later of (i) the final payment on the Certificates, the VRR Interest and the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests or (ii) the liquidation of the Trust Loan (including, without limitation, the sale of the Trust Loan in accordance with the Trust and Servicing Agreement) or the liquidation or abandonment of the Property and all other Collateral for the Trust Loan, provided, however, that in no event shall the trust created by the Trust and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of twenty-one years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late United States Ambassador to the Court of St. James’s, living on the date of the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

Pursuant
to the terms of the Trust and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute, on the 12th day of each calendar
month or, if such 12th day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, commencing in March 2020; provided,
that in no case shall the Distribution Date be less than four Business Days from the related Determination Date (each such date,
a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record
Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the calendar month
in which such Distribution Date occurs, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage
Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable
and any other amounts, 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 check mailed by first class mail to the address set forth therefor
in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder shall have provided the Certificate Administrator with a
written request for payment by wire transfer, together with wire instructions, at least five Business Days prior to the related
Distribution Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other
entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on each Certificate shall
be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the location specified by the Certificate
Administrator in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

 

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

 

This
Certificate does not purport to summarize the Trust and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Trust and Servicing
Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights,
duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator. In the case of any conflict between this Certificate and the Trust and
Servicing Agreement, the Trust and Servicing Agreement shall control.

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

 

Prior

the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, 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 Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate
Registrar, nor any

the Special Servicer and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or the Companion Loan Holders, in certain
circumstances specified in the Trust and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Trust and Servicing
Agreement. Subject to the rights of the Companion Loan Holders to consent to certain amendments, the Trust and Servicing Agreement
may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer, the Special Servicer and
the Trustee with the written consent of the Holders of Certificates representing not less than 51% of the Percentage Interests

by the amendment for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of
the Trust and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders. In addition, no amendment
may be made under the Trust and Servicing Agreement without the Trustee and Certificate Administrator first receiving in writing
an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party requesting the amendment, that the amendment will not result in the imposition
of federal income tax on the Trust or cause either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC
under the Code.

 

The
Trust and Servicing Agreement provides that the respective obligations and responsibilities of the Servicer, the Special Servicer,
the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee created with respect to the Certificates (other than the obligation
to make certain payments to the Companion Loan Holders and the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make certain payments
to Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owner after the final Distribution Date to the extent set forth in the Trust and Servicing
Agreement and other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to file final tax returns for the Upper-Tier REMIC and
the Lower-Tier REMIC, to maintain books and records of the trust fund for such period of time as it maintains its own books and
records, and the indemnification rights and obligations of the parties to the Trust and Servicing Agreement) shall terminate upon
the last action required to be taken by the Certificate Administrator on the final Distribution Date pursuant to Article 10 of
the Trust and Servicing Agreement following the later of (i) the final payment on the Certificates, the VRR Interest and the Uncertificated
Lower-Tier Interests or (ii) the liquidation of the Trust Loan (including, without limitation, the sale of the Trust Loan in accordance
with the Trust and Servicing Agreement) or the liquidation or abandonment of the Property and all other Collateral for the Trust
Loan, provided, however, that in no event shall the trust created by the Trust and Servicing Agreement continue
beyond the expiration of twenty-one years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late
United States Ambassador to the Court of St. James’s, living on the date 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.

    Exhibit A-6-4


     

    
Pursuant to the terms of the Trust and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute, on the 12th day of each calendar month or, if such 12th day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, commencing in March 2020; provided, that in no case shall the Distribution Date be less than four Business Days from the related Determination Date (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the calendar month in which such Distribution Date occurs, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable and any other amounts, if any, allocable to the Class E Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

 

All distributions will be made to the Persons entitled thereto by check mailed by first class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder shall have provided the Certificate Administrator with a written request for payment by wire transfer, together with wire instructions, at least five Business Days prior to the related Distribution Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the location specified by the Certificate Administrator in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

 

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

 

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Trust and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Trust and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator. In the case of any conflict between this Certificate and the Trust and Servicing Agreement, the Trust and Servicing Agreement shall control.

 

As provided in the Trust and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer and other procedures 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 transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

 

Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, 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 Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, nor any

 


    Exhibit A-6-5


     

    
agent of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

 

The Trust and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or the Companion Loan Holders, in certain circumstances specified in the Trust and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Trust and Servicing Agreement. Subject to the rights of the Companion Loan Holders to consent to certain amendments, the Trust and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee with the written consent of the Holders of Certificates representing not less than 51% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any holder of a Class VRR Certificate) adversely affected by the amendment for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Trust and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders. In addition, no amendment may be made under the Trust and Servicing Agreement without the Trustee and Certificate Administrator first receiving in writing an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party requesting the amendment, that the amendment will not result in the imposition of federal income tax on the Trust or cause either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code.

 

The Trust and Servicing Agreement provides that the respective obligations and responsibilities of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee created with respect to the Certificates (other than the obligation to make certain payments to the Companion Loan Holders and the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make certain payments to Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owner after the final Distribution Date to the extent set forth in the Trust and Servicing Agreement and other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to file final tax returns for the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC, to maintain books and records of the trust fund for such period of time as it maintains its own books and records, and the indemnification rights and obligations of the parties to the Trust and Servicing Agreement) shall terminate upon the last action required to be taken by the Certificate Administrator on the final Distribution Date pursuant to Article 10 of the Trust and Servicing Agreement following the later of (i) the final payment on the Certificates, the VRR Interest and the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests or (ii) the liquidation of the Trust Loan (including, without limitation, the sale of the Trust Loan in accordance with the Trust and Servicing Agreement) or the liquidation or abandonment of the Property and all other Collateral for the Trust Loan, provided, however, that in no event shall the trust created by the Trust and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of twenty-one years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late United States Ambassador to the Court of St. James’s, living on the date of the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

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 with respect to the Certificates (other than the obligation to make certain payments to the Companion Loan Holders and the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make certain payments to Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owner after the final Distribution Date to the extent set forth in the Trust and Servicing Agreement and other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to file final tax returns for the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC, to maintain books and records of the trust fund for such period of time as it maintains its own books and records, and the indemnification rights and obligations of the parties to the Trust and Servicing Agreement) shall terminate upon the last action required to be taken by the Certificate Administrator on the final Distribution Date pursuant to Article 10 of the Trust and Servicing Agreement following the later of (i) the final payment on the Certificates, the VRR Interest and the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests or (ii) the liquidation of the Trust Loan (including, without limitation, the sale of the Trust Loan in accordance with the Trust and Servicing Agreement) or the liquidation or abandonment of the Property and all other Collateral for the Trust Loan, provided, however, that in no event shall the trust created by the Trust and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of twenty-one years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late United States Ambassador to the Court of St. James’s, living on the date 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.

This certifies that [Barclays Bank PLC][Wells Fargo Bank, National Association] is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate in the distributions to be made from the Trust Fund with respect to the Class VRR Certificates. The Trust Fund consists primarily of nine promissory notes secured by certain Collateral held in trust by the Trustee evidencing a fixed rate loan (the “Trust 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. Also issued under the Trust and Servicing Agreement are the Class A, Class X-A, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F and Class R Certificates (collectively with the Class VRR Certificates, the “Certificates”). The Trust will also create an uncertificated VRR Interest.

 

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Trust and Servicing Agreement, dated as of February 26, 2020 (the “Trust and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Barclays Commercial Mortgage Securities LLC, as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Servicer, Situs Holdings, LLC, as Special Servicer, and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as 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.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Trust and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute, on the 12th day of each calendar month or, if such 12th day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, commencing in March 2020; provided, that in no case shall the Distribution Date be less than four Business Days from the related Determination Date (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, which will be the close of business on the

 



Exhibit A-8-4



 


last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the calendar month in which such Distribution Date occurs, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable and any other amounts, if any, allocable to the Class VRR Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

 

All distributions will be made to the Persons entitled thereto by check mailed by first class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder shall have provided the Certificate Administrator with a written request for payment by wire transfer, together with wire instructions, at least five Business Days prior to the related Distribution Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the location specified by the Certificate Administrator in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

 

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loan, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Trust and Servicing Agreement. 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 from 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, countersigned by the Retaining Sponsor.

 

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Trust and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Trust and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator. In the case of any conflict between this Certificate and the Trust and Servicing Agreement, the Trust and Servicing Agreement shall control.

 

As provided in the Trust and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer and other procedures 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 transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

 

Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, 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 Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, nor any

 



Exhibit A-8-5



 


agent of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

 

The Trust and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or the Companion Loan Holders, in certain circumstances specified in the Trust and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Trust and Servicing Agreement. Subject to the rights of the Companion Loan Holders to consent to certain amendments, the Trust and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee with the written consent of the Holders of Certificates representing not less than 51% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any holder of a Class VRR Certificate) adversely affected by the amendment for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Trust and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders. In addition, no amendment may be made under the Trust and Servicing Agreement without the Trustee and Certificate Administrator first receiving in writing an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party requesting the amendment, that the amendment will not result in the imposition of federal income tax on the Trust or cause either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code.

 

The Trust and Servicing Agreement provides that the respective obligations and responsibilities of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee created with respect to the Certificates (other than the obligation to make certain payments to the Companion Loan Holders and the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make certain payments to Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owner after the final Distribution Date to the extent set forth in the Trust and Servicing Agreement and other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to file final tax returns for the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC, to maintain books and records of the trust fund for such period of time as it maintains its own books and records, and the indemnification rights and obligations of the parties to the Trust and Servicing Agreement) shall terminate upon the last action required to be taken by the Certificate Administrator on the final Distribution Date pursuant to Article 10 of the Trust and Servicing Agreement following the later of (i) the final payment on the Certificates, the VRR Interest and the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests or (ii) the liquidation of the Trust Loan (including, without limitation, the sale of the Trust Loan in accordance with the Trust and Servicing Agreement) or the liquidation or abandonment of the Property and all other Collateral for the Trust Loan, provided, however, that in no event shall the trust created by the Trust and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of twenty-one years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late United States Ambassador to the Court of St. James’s, living on the date of the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

EACH TRANSFEREE OF THIS CERTIFICATE, BY ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, IS DEEMED TO HAVE ACCEPTED THIS CERTIFICATE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY TO DISQUALIFIED ORGANIZATIONS, DISQUALIFIED NON-U.S. PERSONS OR AGENTS OF EITHER, AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 5.3 OF THE TRUST AND SERVICING AGREEMENT, AND SHALL BE REQUIRED TO FURNISH AN AFFIDAVIT TO THE TRANSFEROR AND THE CERTIFICATE ADMINISTRATOR TO THE EFFECT THAT, AMONG OTHER THINGS, (A) IT IS NOT A DISQUALIFIED ORGANIZATION, AS SUCH TERM IS DEFINED IN CODE SECTION 860E(e)(5), OR AN AGENT (INCLUDING A BROKER, NOMINEE OR OTHER MIDDLEMAN) FOR SUCH DISQUALIFIED ORGANIZATION AND IS OTHERWISE A PERMITTED TRANSFEREE, (B) IT HAS HISTORICALLY PAID ITS DEBTS AS THEY HAVE COME DUE AND INTENDS TO PAY ITS DEBTS AS THEY COME DUE IN THE FUTURE, (C) IT UNDERSTANDS THAT IT MAY INCUR TAX LIABILITIES WITH RESPECT TO THIS CERTIFICATE IN EXCESS OF CASH FLOWS GENERATED HEREBY, (D) IT INTENDS TO PAY ANY TAXES ASSOCIATED WITH HOLDING THIS CERTIFICATE AS THEY BECOME DUE, (E) IT WILL NOT CAUSE INCOME WITH RESPECT TO THIS CERTIFICATE TO BE ATTRIBUTABLE TO A FOREIGN PERMANENT ESTABLISHMENT OR FIXED BASE, WITHIN THE MEANING OF AN APPLICABLE INCOME TAX TREATY, OF SUCH PERSON OR ANY OTHER U.S. PERSON AND (F) IT WILL NOT TRANSFER THIS CERTIFICATE TO ANY PERSON OR ENTITY THAT DOES NOT PROVIDE A SIMILAR AFFIDAVIT. ANY PURPORTED TRANSFER TO A DISQUALIFIED ORGANIZATION OR OTHER PERSON THAT IS NOT A PERMITTED TRANSFEREE OR OTHERWISE IN VIOLATION OF THESE RESTRICTIONS SHALL BE ABSOLUTELY NULL AND VOID AND SHALL VEST NO RIGHTS IN ANY PURPORTED TRANSFEREE. BECAUSE THIS CERTIFICATE REPRESENTS MULTIPLE “NON-ECONOMIC RESIDUAL INTERESTS,” AS DEFINED IN TREASURY REGULATIONS SECTION 1.860E-1(c), TRANSFERS OF THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE DISREGARDED FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES. IN ORDER TO SATISFY A REGULATORY SAFE HARBOR UNDER WHICH SUCH TRANSFERS WILL NOT BE DISREGARDED, THE TRANSFEROR MAY BE REQUIRED, AMONG OTHER THINGS, TO SATISFY ITSELF AS TO THE FINANCIAL CONDITION OF THE PROPOSED TRANSFEREE AND EITHER TO TRANSFER AT A MINIMUM PRICE OR TO AN ELIGIBLE TRANSFEREE AS SPECIFIED IN TREASURY REGULATIONS.

Exhibit A-9-3



 


Pursuant to the terms of the Trust and Servicing Agreement, distributions, if any, on this Certificate shall be made by the Certificate Administrator in an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) and to the extent and subject to the limitations set forth in the Trust and Servicing Agreement, on the Distribution Date to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs or, in the case of the first Distribution Date, the Closing Date.

 

All distributions will be made to the Persons entitled thereto by check mailed by first class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder shall have provided the Certificate Administrator with a written request for payment by wire transfer, together with wire instructions, at least five Business Days prior to the related Distribution Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the location specified by the Certificate Administrator in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

 

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

 

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Trust and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Trust and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator. In the case of any conflict between this Certificate and the Trust and Servicing Agreement, the Trust and Servicing Agreement shall control.

 

As provided in the Trust and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer and other procedures 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 transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

 

Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, 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 Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

 



Exhibit A-9-4



 


The Trust and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or the Companion Loan Holders, in certain circumstances specified in the Trust and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Trust and Servicing Agreement. Subject to the rights of the Companion Loan Holders to consent to certain amendments, the Trust and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee with the written consent of the Holders of Certificates representing not less than 51% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any holder of a Class VRR Certificate) adversely affected by the amendment for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Trust and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders. In addition, no amendment may be made under the Trust and Servicing Agreement without the Trustee and Certificate Administrator first receiving in writing an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party requesting the amendment, that the amendment will not result in the imposition of federal income tax on the Trust or cause either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code.

 

The Trust and Servicing Agreement provides that the respective obligations and responsibilities of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee created with respect to the Certificates (other than the obligation to make certain payments to the Companion Loan Holders and the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make certain payments to Certificateholders and the VRR Interest Owner after the final Distribution Date to the extent set forth in the Trust and Servicing Agreement and other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to file final tax returns for the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC, to maintain books and records of the trust fund for such period of time as it maintains its own books and records, and the indemnification rights and obligations of the parties to the Trust and Servicing Agreement) shall terminate upon the last action required to be taken by the Certificate Administrator on the final Distribution Date pursuant to Article 10 of the Trust and Servicing Agreement following the later of (i) the final payment on the Certificates, the VRR Interest and the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests or (ii) the liquidation of the Trust Loan (including, without limitation, the sale of the Trust Loan in accordance with the Trust and Servicing Agreement) or the liquidation or abandonment of the Property and all other Collateral for the Trust Loan, provided, however, that in no event shall the trust created by the Trust and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of twenty-one years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late United States Ambassador to the Court of St. James’s, living on the date 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.

 



Exhibit A-9-5



 


The Certificate Administrator shall be the “partnership representative” within the meaning of Section 6223 of the Code of the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC. The Holders of the Class R Certificates, by acceptance of the Class R Certificates, agree, on behalf of themselves and all successor Holders of such Class R Certificates, to the irrevocable appointment of the Certificate Administrator as the “partnership representative” for the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC.

 

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 fully as possible.

 

(ii)    No Residual Ownership Interest may be transferred, and no such transfer shall be registered in the Certificate Register, without the express written consent of the Certificate Registrar, and the Certificate Registrar shall not recognize the Transfer, and such proposed Transfer shall not be effective, without such consent with respect thereto. In connection with any proposed Transfer of any Residual Ownership Interest, the Certificate Registrar shall, as a condition to such consent, (x) require the proposed transferee to deliver, and the proposed transferee shall deliver to the Certificate Registrar and to the proposed transferor, an affidavit in substantially the form attached as Exhibit J-1 to the Trust and Servicing Agreement (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

 



Exhibit A-9-6



 


by and to abide by the provisions of Section 5.3(n) of the Trust and Servicing Agreement 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 to the Trust and Servicing Agreement (the “Transferor Letter”), that the proposed transferor has no actual knowledge that the proposed transferee is not a Permitted Transferee and has no actual knowledge or reason to know that the proposed transferee’s statements in the Transferee Affidavit are false.

 

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

 

(iv)   The Class R Certificates may only be issued as Definitive Certificates and transferred to and owned by QIBs and the Certificate Administrator shall act in accordance with such requirement.

	STATE OF	)
	 	) ss.:
	COUNTY OF	)



 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 






     Exhibit J-1-1


    


    

 


any
of the following: (a) the United States, a State, or any agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing (other than an instrumentality
that is a corporation if all of its activities are subject to tax and, except for the FHLMC, a majority of its board of directors
is not selected by any such governmental unit), (b) a foreign government, International Organization or agency or instrumentality
of either of the foregoing, (c) an organization that is exempt from tax imposed by Chapter 1 of the Code (including the tax imposed
by Code Section 511 on unrelated business taxable income) on any excess inclusions (as defined in Section 860E(c)(1)) of the Code
with respect to the Class R Certificates (except certain farmers’ cooperatives described in Section 521 of the Code), (d)
rural electric and telephone cooperatives described in Section 1381(a)(2) of the Code or (e) any other person so designated by
the Certificate Administrator based upon an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that any transfer of a Class R Certificate to such
person may 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. The terms “United States,” “State” and “International Organization” have
the meanings set forth in Section 7701 of the Code or successor provisions.


 


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


 


5.       The
Purchaser is a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a) of the Code and the regulations promulgated
thereunder (the Purchaser’s U.S. taxpayer identification number is [______]). The Purchaser is not classified as a partnership
under the Code (or, if so classified, all of its beneficial owners are United States persons).


 


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


 


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


 


8.       The
Purchaser is a Permitted Transferee.


 


9.       Check
the applicable paragraph:


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 






     Exhibit J-1-2


    


    

 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


☐       None
of the above.


 


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


 


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


 


12.       The
Purchaser is aware that the Certificate Registrar will not register any transfer of a Class R Certificate by the Transferor unless
the Purchaser, or such Purchaser’s agent, delivers to the Certificate Registrar, among other things, an affidavit and agreement
in substantially the same form as this affidavit and agreement. The Purchaser expressly agrees that it will not consummate any
such transfer if it knows or believes that any representation contained in such affidavit and agreement is false.


 






     Exhibit J-1-3


    


    

 


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


 


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


 


15.       The
Purchaser has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.3 of the Trust and Servicing Agreement, a description of which provisions may
be set forth in the Class R Certificates; and the Purchaser expressly agrees to be bound by and to comply with such provisions.


 


16.       The
Purchaser consents to the (i) designation of the Certificate Administrator as the “partnership representative” (as
defined in Section 6223 of the Code) of each Trust REMIC pursuant to Section 12.1 of the Trust and Servicing Agreement and (ii)
Certificate Administrator making any elections allowed under the Code (a) to avoid the application of Section 6221 (or successor
provision) to the Trust REMICs and (b) to avoid payment by the Trust REMICs under Section 6225 of any tax, penalty, interest or
other amount imposed under the Code that would otherwise be imposed on a Holder of Class R Certificates. The Purchaser agrees,
by acquiring such certificate, to any such elections and to reasonably cooperate with the Certificate Administrator in connection
with any such elections the Certificate Administrator determines in its discretion are necessary or advisable.

Ladies and Gentlemen:


 


This letter is delivered
to you in connection with the transfer by [______] (the “Transferor”) to [______] (the “Transferee”)
of Class R Certificates evidencing a [__]% Percentage Interest in such Class (the “Residual Certificates”).
The Certificates, including the Residual Certificates, were issued pursuant to the Trust and Servicing Agreement, dated as of February

Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Servicer, Situs Holdings, LLC, as Special Servicer, Wilmington Trust, National Association,

but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Trust and Servicing Agreement. The Transferor
hereby certifies, represents and warrants to you, as Certificate Registrar, that:


 


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


 


(ii)            The Transferor understands that the Transferee has delivered to you a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement in the form attached
to the Trust and Servicing Agreement as Exhibit J-1. The Transferor does not know or believe that any representation contained

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

Information Provider’s website that hosts the Depositor’s 17g-5 website after the Closing Date (as defined in the Trust
and Servicing Agreement). Information provided by each Furnishing Entity is labeled as provided by the specific Furnishing Entity.


 


Definition of Confidential
Information. For purposes of this Confidentiality Agreement, the term “Confidential Information” shall include
the following information (irrespective of its source or form of communication, including information obtained by you through access
to this site) that may be furnished to you by or on behalf of a Furnishing Entity in connection with the issuance or monitoring
of a rating with respect to the Certificates: (x) all data, reports, interpretations, forecasts, records, agreements, legal
documents and other information (such information, the “Evaluation Material”) and (y)  any of the terms,
conditions or other facts with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Trust and Servicing Agreement, including the status
thereof; provided, however, that the term Confidential Information shall not include information which:


 


		●	was or becomes generally available to the public (including through filing with the Securities
and Exchange Commission or disclosure in an offering document) other than as a result of a disclosure by you or a NRSRO Representative
(as defined in Section 2(c)(i) below) in violation of this Confidentiality Agreement;



 


		●	was or is lawfully obtained by you from a source other than a Furnishing Entity or its representatives
that (i) is reasonably believed by you to be under no obligation to maintain the information as confidential and (ii) provides
it to you without any obligation to maintain the information as confidential; or



 


		●	is independently developed by the NRSRO without reference to any Confidential Information.



 



    Exhibit M-3


     


    

 


Information to Be Held in Confidence.


 


You will use the Confidential
Information solely for the purpose of determining or monitoring a credit rating on the Certificates and, to the extent that any
information used is derived from but does not reveal any Confidential Information, for benchmarking, modeling or research purposes
(the “Intended Purpose”).


 


You acknowledge that
you are aware that the United States and state securities laws impose restrictions on trading in securities when in possession
of material, non-public information and that the NRSRO will advise (through policy manuals or otherwise) each NRSRO Representative
who is informed of the matters that are the subject of this Confidentiality Agreement to that effect.


 


You will treat the Confidential
Information as private and confidential. Subject to Section 4, without the prior written consent of the applicable Furnishing Entity,
you will not disclose to any person any Confidential Information, whether such Confidential Information was furnished to you before,
on or after the date of this Confidentiality Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may:


 


		●	disclose the Confidential Information to any of the NRSRO’s affiliates, directors, officers,
employees, legal representatives, agents and advisors (each, a “NRSRO Representative”) who, in the reasonable
judgment of the NRSRO, need to know such Confidential Information in connection with the Intended Purpose; provided, that,
prior to disclosure of the Confidential Information to a NRSRO Representative, the NRSRO shall have taken reasonable precautions
to ensure, and shall be satisfied, that such NRSRO Representative will act in accordance with this Confidentiality Agreement;



 


		●	solely to the extent required for compliance with Rule 17g-5(a)(3) of the Act (17 C.F.R. 240.17g-5),post

		●	use information derived from the Confidential Information in connection with an Intended Purpose,
if such derived information does not reveal any Confidential Information.



 


Disclosures Required
by Law. If you or any NRSRO Representative is requested or required (orally or in writing, by interrogatory, subpoena, civil
investigatory demand, request for information or documents, deposition or similar process relating to any legal proceeding, investigation,
hearing or otherwise) to disclose any Confidential Information, you agree to provide the relevant Furnishing Entity with notice
as soon as practicable (except in the case of regulatory or other governmental inquiry, examination or investigation, and otherwise
to the extent practical and permitted by law, regulation or regulatory or other governmental authority) that a request to disclose
the Confidential Information has been made so that the relevant Furnishing Entity may seek an appropriate protective order or other
reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information if it so chooses. Unless otherwise
required by a court or other governmental or regulatory authority to do so, and


 



    Exhibit M-4


     


    

 


provided that you been informed by written notice
that the related Furnishing Entity is seeking a protective order or other reasonable assurance for confidential treatment with
respect to the requested Confidential Information, you agree not to disclose the Confidential Information while the Furnishing
Entity’s effort to obtain such a protective order or other reasonable assurance for confidential treatment is pending. You
agree to reasonably cooperate with each Furnishing Entity in its efforts to obtain a protective order or other reasonable assurance
that confidential treatment will be accorded to the portion of the Confidential Information that is being disclosed, at the sole
expense of such Furnishing Entity; provided, however, that in no event shall the NRSRO be required to take a position
that such information should be entitled to receive such a protective order or reasonable assurance as to confidential treatment.
If a Furnishing Entity succeeds in obtaining a protective order or other remedy, you agree to comply with its terms with respect
to the disclosure of the Confidential Information, at the sole expense of such Furnishing Entity. If a protective order or other
remedy is not obtained or if the relevant Furnishing Entity waives compliance with the provisions of this Confidentiality Agreement
in writing, you agree to furnish only such information as you are legally required to disclose, at the sole expense of the relevant
Furnishing Entity.


 


Obligation to Return
Evaluation Material. Promptly upon written request by or on behalf of the relevant Furnishing Entity, all material or documents,
including copies thereof, that contain Evaluation Material will be destroyed or, in your sole discretion, returned to the relevant
Furnishing Entity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) the NRSRO may retain one or more copies of any document or other material
containing Evaluation Material to the extent necessary for legal or regulatory compliance (or compliance with the NRSRO’s
internal policies and procedures designed to ensure legal or regulatory compliance) and (b) the NRSRO may retain any portion
of the Evaluation Material that may be found in backup tapes or other archive or electronic media or other documents prepared by
the NRSRO and any Evaluation Material obtained in an oral communication; provided, that any Evaluation Material so retained
by the NRSRO will remain subject to this Confidentiality Agreement and the NRSRO will remain bound by the terms of this Confidentiality
Agreement.


 


Violations of this Confidentiality Agreement.


 


The NRSRO will be responsible
for any breach of this Confidentiality Agreement by you, the NRSRO or any NRSRO Representative.


 


You agree promptly to
advise each relevant Furnishing Entity in writing of any misappropriation or unauthorized disclosure or use by any person of the
Confidential Information which may come to your attention and to take all steps reasonably requested by such Furnishing Entity
to limit, stop or otherwise remedy such misappropriation, or unauthorized disclosure or use.


 


You acknowledge and agree
that the Furnishing Entities would not have an adequate remedy at law and would be irreparably harmed in the event that any of
the provisions of this Confidentiality Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached.
It is accordingly agreed that each Furnishing Entity shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive relief to prevent
breaches of this Confidentiality Agreement and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other
remedy to


 



    Exhibit M-5


     


    

 


which a Furnishing Entity may be entitled at law or in equity. It is further understood and agreed that no failure to
or delay in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power
or privilege.


 


Term. Notwithstanding
the termination or cancellation of this Confidentiality Agreement and regardless of whether the NRSRO has provided a credit rating
on a Security, your obligations under this Confidentiality Agreement will survive indefinitely.


 


Governing Law.
This Confidentiality Agreement and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under the Confidentiality Agreement, the relationships
of the parties and/or the interpretation and enforcement of the rights and duties of the parties shall be governed by and construed
in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed within such State.


 


Amendments. This
Confidentiality Agreement may be modified or waived only by a separate writing by the NRSRO and each Furnishing Entity.


 


Entire Agreement.
This Confidentiality Agreement represents the entire agreement between you and the Furnishing Entities relating to the treatment
of Confidential Information heretofore or hereafter reviewed or inspected by you. This agreement supersedes all other understandings
and agreements between us relating to such matters; provided, however, that, if the terms of this Confidentiality
Agreement conflict with another agreement relating to the Confidential Information that specifically states that the terms of such
agreement shall supersede, modify or amend the terms of this Confidentiality Agreement, then to the extent the terms of this Confidentiality
Agreement conflict with such agreement, the terms of such agreement shall control notwithstanding acceptance by you of the terms
hereof by entry into this website.

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 February 26, 2020 (the “Trust
and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Barclays Commercial Mortgage Securities LLC, as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank,
National Association, as Servicer, Situs Holdings, LLC, as Special Servicer, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee,
and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator and Custodian. 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 as to 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.


 


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, the Certificate
Administrator or the Certificate Registrar is obligated so to register or qualify the Excess Servicing Fee Right, and (c)


 



    Exhibit N-2-1


     


    

 


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 N-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 N-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 the Trust and Servicing Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 3.17 therein),
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 (including 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 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.


 



    Exhibit N-2-2


     


    

 


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

Ladies and Gentlemen:


 


This letter is delivered
pursuant to Section 5.2 of the Trust and Servicing Agreement, dated as of February 26, 2020 (the “Trust and Servicing
Agreement”), by and among Barclays Commercial Mortgage Securities LLC, as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association,
as Servicer, Situs Holdings, LLC, as Special Servicer, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee, and Wells Fargo Bank,
National Association, as Certificate Administrator and Custodian, on behalf of the holders of the MKT 2020-525M Mortgage Trust,
Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2020-525M (the “Certificates”) in connection with the
transfer by _________________ (the “Seller”) to the undersigned (the “Purchaser”) of $_______________
aggregate [Certificate Balance] [Notional Amount] of Class ___ Certificates (the “Certificate”). Capitalized
terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Trust and Servicing
Agreement.


 


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


 


1.       Check
one of the following:*


 


☐       The
Purchaser is not purchasing a Class R Certificate and the Purchaser is an institutional “accredited investor” (an entity
meeting the requirements of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”)) or an entity all of the equity owners of which are such institutions, and has such knowledge and experience in
financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Certificates, and the
Purchaser and any accounts for which it is acting are


 


 



*
       Purchaser must select one of the following two certifications.


 



    Exhibit P-1


     


    

 


each able to bear the economic risk of the Purchaser’s or such account’s
investment. The Purchaser is acquiring the Certificates purchased by it for its own account or for one or more accounts (each of
which is an institutional “accredited investor”) as to each of which the Purchaser exercises sole investment discretion.
The Purchaser hereby undertakes to reimburse the Trust for any costs incurred by it in connection with this transfer.


 


☐       The
Purchaser is a “qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A (“Rule 144A”) promulgated
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Purchaser is aware that the transfer
is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, and the Purchaser has had the opportunity to obtain the information required to be provided
pursuant to paragraph (d)(4)(i) of Rule 144A.


 


2.       The
Purchaser’s intention is to acquire the Certificate (a) for investment for the Purchaser’s own account or (b) for resale
to (i) “qualified institutional buyers” in transactions under Rule 144A, and not in any event with the view to, or
for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof, or (ii) (other than with respect to a Class R Certificate) to non-U.S.
Securities Persons in “offshore transactions” as defined in Rule 902(h) of Regulation S promulgated under the Securities
Act, subject in each case to the delivery of a Transfer Certificate in the form of Exhibit G, Exhibit H or Exhibit I, as applicable,
to the Trust and Servicing Agreement. The Purchaser understands that the Certificate (and any subsequent Certificate issued in
transfer or exchange therefor) has not been registered under the Securities Act, by reason of a specified exemption from the registration
provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the Purchaser’s investment
intent (or intent to resell to only certain investors in certain exempted transactions) as expressed herein.


 


3.       The
Purchaser has reviewed the preliminary Offering Circular and the final Offering Circular relating to the Certificates (collectively,
the “Offering Circular”) and the agreements and other materials referred to therein and has had the opportunity
to ask questions and receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Offering Circular.


 


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


 


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


 


6.       The
Purchaser will not sell or otherwise transfer all or any portion of the Certificates, except in compliance with Section 5.3 of
the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

Service (“IRS”) Form W 9 (or successor form).



 


		☐	The Purchaser is not a U.S. Person and under applicable law in effect on the date hereof, no taxes
will be required to be withheld by the Certificate Administrator (or its agent) with respect to distributions to be made on the
Certificate. The Purchaser has attached hereto [(i) a duly executed IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or successor
form), which identifies such Purchaser as the beneficial owner of the Certificate and states that such Purchaser is not a U.S.
Person, (ii) IRS Form W-8IMY (with all appropriate attachments) or (iii)]*** two duly executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI
(or successor form), which identify such Purchaser as the beneficial owner of the Certificate and state that interest and original

business. The Purchaser agrees to provide to the Certificate Registrar updated [IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, IRS Form W-8IMY
or]*** IRS Form W -8ECI, [as the case may be,]*** any applicable successor IRS forms, or such other certifications as the Certificate
Registrar may reasonably request, on or before the date that any such IRS form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, or
promptly after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent IRS form of certification furnished by it to the
Certificate Registrar.

Person” means a citizen or resident of the United States, a corporation or partnership (except to the extent provided in

statements, budgets and/or rent rolls required to be provided in connection with 1112(b) below, possession) of such information
(other than information as to itself). Each of the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer,
each Other Exchange Act Reporting Party and the Other Depositor shall be entitled to rely on the accuracy of the Offering Circular
and the offering materials with respect to any related Other Securitization Trust (other than information with respect to itself
that is set forth in or omitted from such offering materials or the Offering Circular), in the absence of specific notice to the
contrary from the Depositor, Other Depositor or a Trust Loan Seller. Each of the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Servicer,

no “significant obligor” other than a party or property identified as such in the prospectus relating to the Other

Date. In no event shall the Servicer or the Special Servicer be required to provide any information for inclusion in a Form 10-K
that relates to any Mortgage Loan for which the Servicer or the Special Servicer is not the applicable Servicer or Special Servicer,
as the case may be. For this Series 2020-525M Trust and Servicing Agreement and any Other Securitization Trust, each of the Certificate
Administrator, the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, each Other Exchange Act Reporting Party and the Other Depositor
shall be entitled to assume that there is no provider of credit enhancement, liquidity or derivative instruments within the meaning
of Items 1114 or 1115 of Regulation AB other than a party identified as such in the Offering Circular and the offering materials
with respect to any related Other Securitization Trust.
