Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2020, between Deutsche Mortgage & Asset Receiving Corporation, as Depositor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Paying Agent and Custodian, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee.

 

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:

 

(Terms used but not defined in this Preliminary Statement shall have
the meanings specified in Article I hereof)

 

The Depositor intends to sell pass-through certificates to be issued hereunder in multiple Classes which in the aggregate will evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund consisting primarily of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loans. For income tax purposes alone, the Trust Fund will consist of the Mortgage Loans, the Lower-Tier REMIC, the Upper-Tier REMIC, the Trust Subordinate Companion Loans, the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan REMIC and the Grantor Trust, all as more fully described below.

 

In addition, the parties intend that the portions of the Trust Fund consisting of the Class S Specific Grantor Trust Assets and the uncertificated regular interests in the Upper-Tier REMIC corresponding to the VRR Interest (“VRR Regular Interests” ) and distributions thereon, shall be treated as a grantor trust under subpart E, part I of subchapter J of the Code for federal income tax purposes (the “Grantor Trust” ). Solely for tax purposes, the Class S Certificates and the VRR Interest shall represent undivided beneficial interests in the portion of the Trust Fund consisting of the Class S Specific Grantor Trust Assets and the VRR Interest shall represent undivided beneficial interests in the portion of the Trust Fund consisting of the VRR Regular Interests and distributions thereon. As provided herein, the Certificate Administrator shall take all actions expressly required hereunder to ensure that the portion of the Trust Fund consisting of the Grantor Trust maintains its status as a grantor trust under federal income tax law and not be treated as part of the Trust REMICs.

 

TRUST SUBORDINATE COMPANION LOAN REMIC

 

The Trust Subordinate Companion Loan REMIC will hold the Trust Subordinate Companion Loans and the proceeds of such Trust Subordinate Companion Loans, together with its allocable share of any related property acquired by foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure and will issue the Class LUBRB, Class LUBRC, Class LUBRD and the LUBRVRR Uncertificated Interests as the “regular interests”  in the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan REMIC (the “Trust Subordinate Companion Loan REMIC Regular Interests” ) and the uncertificated Class LUBR-R Interest, which is the sole class of residual interests in the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan REMIC and is represented by the Class R Certificates.

 

The Holders of the Loan-Specific Certificates shall only be entitled to receive distributions in respect of, and shall only incur losses with respect to, the Trust Subordinate Companion Loans, each of which is not part of the Mortgage Pool backing the Pooled

Certificates and the VRR Interest. No Class of Pooled Certificates or the VRR Interest has an interest in the Trust Subordinate Companion Loans.

    -3-


     

    

 

limitation after the reduction of the Certificate Balance or VRR Interest Balance, as applicable, of such Class to zero), such Class of Principal Balance Certificates or the VRR Interest, as applicable, may receive distributions in respect of such recoveries in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 4.01 of this Agreement.

 

GRANTOR TRUST

 

The Class S Certificates, the Class RR Certificates and the RR Interest shall each represent undivided beneficial interests in the portion of the Trust Fund consisting of the Class S Specific Grantor Trust Assets and the Class RR Certificates and the RR Interest shall each represent undivided beneficial interests in the VRR Regular Interests and distributions thereon. As provided herein, the Certificate Administrator shall not take any actions that would cause the portions of the Trust Fund consisting of the Grantor Trust (i) to fail to maintain its status as a “grantor trust”  under federal income tax law or (ii) to be treated as part of any Trust REMIC.

 

On the Closing Date, the Depositor is selling, assigning and transferring and otherwise conveying to (i) DBNY, $10,195,000 initial Certificate Balance of the VRR Interest in the form of Class RR Certificates (which assignment, transfer and conveyance shall, solely for purposes of satisfying the requirements of Section 3(a) and Section 4(a)(3) of the Risk Retention Rule, be deemed assigned, transferred and conveyed from the Depositor to GSMC and from GSMC to DBNY), (ii) GSMC (GS Bank, as its Majority-Owned Affiliate), $5,500,000 initial VRR Interest Balance in the form of the RR Interest (which assignment, transfer and conveyance shall, solely for purposes of satisfying the requirements of Section 11(a)(1) of the Risk Retention Rule, be deemed assigned, transferred and conveyed from the Depositor to GSMC (and, if applicable, from GMSC to GS Bank)), and (iii) JPMCB, $16,257,500 initial Certificate Balance of the VRR Interest in the form of Class RR Certificates (which assignment, transfer and conveyance shall, solely for purposes of satisfying the requirements of Section 11(a)(1) of the Risk Retention Rule, be deemed assigned, transferred and conveyed from the Depositor to GSMC and from GSMC to JPMCB). 

 

The portion of the VRR Interest (or Class RR Certificates) that DBNY is so purchasing from the Depositor on the Closing Date is referred to in this Agreement as the “VRR1 Interest” . The portion of the VRR Interest (or RR Interest) that GSMC (or GS Bank) is so purchasing from the Depositor on the Closing Date is referred to in this Agreement as the “VRR2 Interest” . The portion of the VRR Interest (or Class RR Certificates) that JPMCB is so purchasing from the Depositor on the Closing Date is referred to in this Agreement as the “VRR3 Interest” .

 

To the fullest extent permitted by law, any inconsistencies or ambiguities in this Agreement or in the administration of this Agreement shall be resolved in a manner that preserves the validity and intended tax treatment of the Trust REMICs, the Grantor Trust and causes the maximum amounts to be paid with respect to the holders of the REMIC Regular Interests.

    -9-

“Affiliate” : With respect to any specified Person, any other Person controlling or controlled by or under common control with such specified Person.

or Serviced Whole Loan becomes (or, but for the making of three monthly payments under its modified terms, would then constitute)
a Corrected Mortgage Loan, together with (to the extent accrued and unpaid) interest on such Advances, to the extent that (i)
such Advance is not reimbursed to the Person who made such Advance on or before the date, if any, on which such Mortgage Loan,

Material Breach shall not be considered a prepayment for purposes of this
definition), Balloon Payments and payments at maturity, but excluding late payment charges, Default Interest and Excess Interest)
received on a Specially Serviced Loan that becomes a Corrected Mortgage Loan for so long as it remains a Corrected Mortgage Loan,
pursuant to Section 3.12(c) of this Agreement and (2) $1,000,000, in the aggregate with respect to any particular workout
of a Specially Serviced Loan; provided, further,
that the Workout Fee with respect to any
Corrected Mortgage Loan shall be capped in accordance with Section 3.12(c) of this Agreement; provided,
further that no Workout Fee shall be payable by the Trust with respect to any Corrected Mortgage
Loan if and to the extent that the Corrected Mortgage Loan became a Specially Serviced Loan under clause (c) of the definition
of “Specially Serviced Loan”  (and no other clause of such definition) and no event of default actually occurs, unless
the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan is modified by the Special Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;
provided, further, that
if a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan only because of an event described in clause
(a) of the definition of “Specially Serviced Loan”  and the related collection of principal and interest is received
within 4 months following the related maturity date as a result of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan being
refinanced or otherwise repaid in full, the Special Servicer shall not be entitled to collect a Workout Fee out of the proceeds
received in connection with such workout if such fee would reduce the amount available for distributions to Certificateholders,
but the Special Servicer may collect from the related Borrower and retain (x) a workout fee, (y) such other fees as are provided
for in the related Loan Documents and (z) other appropriate fees in connection with such workout. After receipt by the Special
Servicer of Workout Fees with respect to a Corrected Mortgage Loan in an amount equal to $25,000, the total amount of Workout
Fees in excess of such $25,000 payable by the Trust with respect to such Corrected Mortgage Loan and with respect to any particular
workout (assuming, for the purposes of this calculation, that such Corrected Mortgage Loan continues to perform throughout its
term in accordance with the terms of the related workout) shall be reduced by the amount of any and all related Offsetting Modification
Fees received by the Special Servicer as additional servicing compensation relating to such Corrected Mortgage Loan; provided
that the Special Servicer shall be entitled to collect such Workout Fees from the Trust until such time it has been fully
paid such reduced amount. For the avoidance of doubt, the Mortgage Loan Seller will be required to pay a Workout Fee in connection
with a repurchase or substitution to the extent the Special Servicer was entitled to such a fee and such fee was unpaid immediately
prior to such repurchase or substitution or was previously paid by the Trust and was not reimbursed by the related Borrower immediately
prior to such repurchase or substitution. In furtherance of the foregoing, upon a Specially Serviced Loan becoming a Corrected
Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall provide the Master Servicer with a calculation of the total amount of Workout Fees expected
to be payable by the Trust with respect to such Corrected Mortgage Loan throughout its term (which calculation shall be reasonably
acceptable to the Master Servicer) and the total amount of related Offsetting Modification Fees received by the Special Servicer.

 

“Yield
Maintenance Charge” : With respect to any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan, the yield maintenance charge
set forth in the related Loan Documents; provided that, amounts shall be considered Yield

With respect to Serviced Whole Loans, except for the Mortgage Note referred to in clause (i)(B) of the second preceding paragraph, only a single original set of the Loan Documents specified above is required to be delivered. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, any assignments or other transfer documents referred to in the third preceding paragraph as being in favor of the Trustee shall instead be in favor of the applicable Other Trustee and (1) if the Custodian is not also the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan Custodian, the preceding document delivery requirements will be met by the delivery by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller to the Custodian of copies of the documents specified above (other than the Mortgage Note and intervening endorsements evidencing a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, with respect to which the originals shall be required), including a copy of the Mortgage securing the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and copies of the companion notes or (2) if the Custodian is also the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan Custodian, the preceding document delivery requirements shall be met by the delivery by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Custodian of only the original Mortgage Note and intervening endorsements evidencing such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan (and, if any document specified in Section 2.01(a) of this Agreement was not required to be delivered in connection with the related Other Securitization, a copy of such document); provided that with respect to such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if Wells Fargo Bank, National Association ceases to be Custodian with respect to such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, it shall, upon receipt of a request for release, provide the original note, allonge and intercreditor agreement and copies of all other Loan Documents specified above to the successor Custodian.

    -142-


     

    

 

Leases, Rents and Profits, the Custodian shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain therefrom a certified copy of the recorded original, at the expense of the Depositor. In the event that any such document or instrument in respect of any Mortgage Loan (or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan) is lost or returned unrecorded or unfiled, as the case may be, because of a defect therein, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall promptly prepare or cause the preparation of a substitute thereof or cure or cause the curing of such defect, as the case may be, and shall thereafter deliver the substitute or corrected document to or at the direction of the Custodian or such other third party vendor as retained by the Mortgage Loan Seller for recording or filing, as appropriate, at such Mortgage Loan Seller’s expense (as set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement). In the event that any Mortgage Loan Seller receives the original recorded or filed copy, each Mortgage Loan Seller will, promptly upon receipt of the original recorded or filed copy (and in no event later than five Business Days following such receipt) deliver such original to the Custodian, with evidence of filing or recording thereon.

If a Mortgage Loan Seller cannot deliver, or cause to be delivered, as to any Mortgage Loan, the original or a copy of the related lender’s title insurance policy referred to in Section 2.01(a)(vii) solely because such policy has not yet been issued, the delivery requirements of this Section 2.01 will be deemed to be satisfied as to such missing item, and such missing item will be deemed to have been included in the related Mortgage File by delivery to the Custodian of a binder marked as binding and countersigned by the title insurer or its authorized agent (which may be a pro forma or specimen title insurance policy which has been accepted or approved as binding in writing by the related title insurance company) or an acknowledged closing instruction or escrow letter, and the Mortgage Loan Seller will be required to deliver to the Custodian, promptly following the receipt thereof, the original related lender’s title insurance policy (or a copy thereof). Copies of recorded or filed Assignments of Mortgage, Reassignments of Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits and UCC assignments of financing statements shall be held by the Custodian.

 

Subject to the third preceding paragraph, all original documents relating to the Mortgage Loans which are not delivered to the Custodian are and shall be held by the Depositor or the Master Servicer (or a sub-servicer on its behalf), as the case may be, in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders and, insofar as they also relate to the Serviced Companion Loans, on behalf of and for the benefit of the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders. In the event that any such original document, or in the case of a Serviced Companion Loan, the original Mortgage Note, is required pursuant to the terms of this Section to be a part of a Mortgage File in order to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement, such document shall be delivered promptly to the Custodian.

If the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller or the Depositor cannot deliver, or cause to be delivered, as to any Mortgage Loan (subject to any qualifications provided for herein or in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), the original or a copy of any of the documents and/or instruments referred to in Section 2.01(a)(ii), Section 2.01(a)(iii), Section 2.01(a)(v), Section 2.01(a)(viii), Section 2.01(a)(xiv) and Section 2.01(a)(xvi) and the UCC financing statements and UCC assignments of financing statements referred to in Section 2.01(a)(xiii), with evidence of recording or filing thereon, solely because of a delay caused by the public recording or filing office where such document or instrument has been delivered for recordation or filing, or because such original recorded or filed document has been lost or returned from the recording or filing office and subsequently lost, as the case may be, the delivery requirements of Section 2.01 shall be deemed to have been satisfied as to such missing item, and such missing item shall be deemed to have been included in the related Mortgage File, provided that a copy of such document or instrument (without evidence of recording or filing thereon, but certified (which certificate may relate to multiple documents and/or instruments) by the applicable public recording or filing office, the applicable title insurance company or the related Mortgage Loan Seller to be a true and complete copy of the original thereof submitted for recording or filing, as the case may be) has been delivered to the Custodian within 60 days after the Closing Date, and either the original of such missing document or instrument, or a copy thereof, with evidence of recording or filing, as the case may be, thereon, is delivered to the Custodian within 180 days after the Closing Date (or within such longer period after the Closing Date so long as the related Mortgage Loan Seller has provided the Custodian with evidence of such recording or filing, as the case may be, or has certified to the Custodian as to the occurrence of such recording or filing, as the case may be, and is, as certified to the Custodian no less often than quarterly, in good faith

attempting to obtain from the appropriate county recorder’s or filing office such original or copy, provided such extensions do not exceed 24 months in the aggregate).

 

(c)       Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to the documents referred to in Section 2.01(a)(xix) and Section 2.01(a)(xx) of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall hold (or the applicable Other Servicer with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan will hold) the original of each such document in trust on behalf of the Trust (or the applicable Other Trust with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) in order to draw on such letter of credit on behalf of the Trust (or the applicable Other Trust with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall be deemed to have satisfied the delivery requirements of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Section 2.01 of this Agreement by delivering the original of each such document to the Master Servicer (or the applicable Other Servicer with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) who shall forward a copy of the applicable document to the Custodian (or the custodian in the applicable Other Securitization with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan). The applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall pay any costs of assignment or amendment of such letter of credit (which amendment shall change the beneficiary of the letter of credit to the Trust (or the applicable Other Trust with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) in care of the Master Servicer (or the applicable Other Servicer with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan)) required in order for the Master Servicer (or the applicable Other Servicer with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) to draw on such letter of credit on behalf of the Trust (or the applicable Other Trust with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan). In the event that the documents specified in Section 2.01(a)(xx) of this Agreement are missing with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan because the related assignment or amendment documents have not been completed, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall take all necessary steps to enable the Master Servicer to draw on the related letter of credit on behalf of the Trust including, if necessary, drawing on the letter of credit in its own name pursuant to written instructions from the Master Servicer and immediately remitting such funds (or causing such funds to be remitted) to the Master Servicer.

 

(d)        [Reserved].

 

(e)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, with respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan, the obligations of the related Mortgage Loan Seller to deliver a Note to the Trustee, or a Custodian on its behalf, shall be limited to delivery of only the Note held by such party to the Trustee, or Custodian on its behalf. With respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan, the obligations of each Mortgage Loan Seller to deliver the remaining portion of the related Mortgage File or any document required to be delivered with respect thereto shall be joint and several, provided that either of the related Mortgage Loan Sellers may deliver one Mortgage File or one of any other document required to be delivered with respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan hereunder and such delivery shall satisfy such delivery requirements for each of the related Mortgage Loan Sellers.

 

Section 2.02     Acceptance by Custodian and the Trustee. By its execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Trustee acknowledges the assignment to it of the Mortgage Loans in good faith without notice of adverse claims and declares that the Custodian holds and will hold such documents and all others delivered to it constituting the Mortgage File (to the extent the documents constituting the Mortgage File are actually delivered to the Custodian) for

 



    -145-


     

    

 

 any Mortgage Loan assigned to the Trustee hereunder in trust, upon the conditions herein set forth, for the use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders, the RR Interest Owner and Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders.

 

The Custodian hereby certifies to each of the Directing Holder, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and each Mortgage Loan Seller that except as identified in the Custodian’s closing date certification, which shall be delivered no later than two Business Days after the Closing Date substantially in the form attached as Exhibit N-1 to this Agreement, (i) each Mortgage Note (or copy thereof, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan) is in its possession and has been reviewed by the Custodian and (A) appears regular on its face (handwritten additions, changes or corrections shall not constitute irregularities if initialed by the Borrower), (B) appears to have been executed (where appropriate) and (C) purports to relate to such Mortgage Loan and (ii) each of the documents specified in Section 2.01(a)(ii), Section 2.01(a)(vii), Section 2.01(a)(xi) and Section 2.01(a)(xix) of this Agreement have been received, have been executed, appear to be what they purport to be, purport to be recorded or filed (as applicable) and have not been torn in any materially adverse manner or mutilated or otherwise defaced, and that such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule. If the Custodian does not send a closing date certification on the Closing Date, it shall send an email confirmation to the Trustee that it has received all of the Mortgage Notes (or copies or lost note affidavits as permitted), subject to any exceptions noted therein, on the Closing Date.

 

On or about the 60th day following the Closing Date (and, if any exceptions are noted, again on or about the 90th day following the Closing Date and monthly thereafter until the earliest of (i) the second anniversary of the Closing Date, (ii) the day on which all material exceptions have been removed and (iii) the day on which the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller has repurchased or substituted for the last affected Mortgage Loan), the Custodian shall review each Mortgage File and shall certify to each of the Directing Holder, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and each Mortgage Loan Seller in the form attached as Exhibit N-2 to this Agreement that all documents (other than documents referred to in clauses (xix) and (xx) of Section 2.01(a) of this Agreement, which shall be delivered to the Master Servicer, and the documents referred to in clauses (iii), (iv)(B), (v)(B) and (viii)(B) of Section 2.01(a) of this Agreement and the assignments of financing statements referred to in clause (xiii) of Section 2.01(a) of this Agreement, which shall be delivered for filing or recording by the related Mortgage Loan Seller as provided herein) referred to in Section 2.01(a) above (in the case of the documents referred to in Section 2.01(a)(iv), Section 2.01(a)(vi), Section 2.01(a)(viii), Section 2.01(a)(ix), Section 2.01(a)(x), Section 2.01(a)(xi), Section 2.01(a)(xii) through Section 2.01(a)(xvi) and Section 2.01(a)(xviii) through Section 2.01(a)(xx) of this Agreement, as identified to it in writing as a document required to be delivered by the related Mortgage Loan Seller) and any original recorded documents included in the delivery of a Mortgage File have been received, have been executed, appear to be what they purport to be, purport to be recorded or filed (as applicable) and have not been torn in any materially adverse manner or mutilated or otherwise defaced, and that such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule. In so doing, the Custodian may rely on the purported due execution and genuineness of any such document and on the purported genuineness of any signature thereon. With respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Custodian shall only be required to certify to each of the Directing



    -146-


     

    

 

Holder, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and each Mortgage Loan Seller that the document set forth in Section 2.01(a)(i) has been received, subject to the preceding provisions of this Section 2.02.

 

If at the conclusion of such review any document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File have not been executed or received, have not been recorded or filed (if required), are unrelated to the Mortgage Loans identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, appear not to be what they purport to be or have been torn in any materially adverse manner or mutilated or otherwise defaced, the Custodian shall promptly so notify (in the form attached as Exhibit M to this Agreement) the Trustee, the Directing Holder (but only if no Consultation Termination Event is continuing), the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the related Mortgage Loan Seller by providing a written report, setting forth for each affected Mortgage Loan, with particularity, the nature of the defective or missing document. The Depositor shall or shall cause the related Mortgage Loan Seller to deliver to the Custodian an executed, recorded or undamaged document, as applicable, or, if the failure to deliver such document in such form constitutes a Material Defect, the Depositor shall cause the related Mortgage Loan Seller to cure, repurchase or substitute for the related Mortgage Loan in the manner provided in Section 2.03(e) of this Agreement. None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian or the Trustee shall be responsible for any loss, cost, damage or expense to the Trust Fund resulting from any failure to receive any document constituting a portion of a Mortgage File noted on such a report or for any failure by the Depositor to use its best efforts to deliver any such document.

 

Contemporaneously with its execution of this Agreement, the Depositor shall cause each Mortgage Loan Seller to deliver a power of attorney substantially in the form of Exhibit C to the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to the Master Servicer and Special Servicer, that permits such parties to take such other action as is necessary to effect the delivery, assignment and/or recordation of any documents and/or instruments relating to any Mortgage Loan which have not been delivered, assigned or recorded at the time required for enforcement by the Trust Fund. Pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, each of the Mortgage Loan Sellers will be required to effect (at the expense of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller) the assignment and recordation of its respective Loan Documents until the assignment and recordation of all such Loan Documents has been completed.

 

In reviewing any Mortgage File pursuant to the third preceding paragraph or Section 2.01 of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall have no responsibility to cause the Custodian or Trustee to, and the Custodian or Trustee will have no responsibility to, examine any opinions or determine whether any document is legal, valid, binding, sufficient, duly authorized or enforceable, whether the text of any assignment or endorsement is in proper or recordable form (except, if applicable, to determine if the Trustee is the assignee or endorsee), whether any document has been recorded in accordance with the requirements of any applicable jurisdiction, whether a blanket assignment is permitted in any applicable jurisdiction, or whether any Person executing any document or rendering any opinion is authorized to do so or whether any signature thereon is genuine.

 

The Custodian shall hold that portion of the Trust Fund delivered to the Custodian consisting of “instruments”  (as such term is defined in Section 9-102 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in Minnesota on the date hereof) in Minnesota and, except as otherwise

 



    -147-


     

    

 

specifically provided in this Agreement, shall not remove such instruments from Minnesota unless it receives an Opinion of Counsel (obtained and delivered at the expense of the Person requesting the removal of such instruments from Minnesota) that if the transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee is deemed not to be a sale, after such removal, the Trustee will possess a first priority perfected security interest in such instruments.

    -150-


     

    




 


Withdrawal” ), (iii) receives a Repurchase Communication that any Mortgage Loan that was subject to a Repurchase Request has been repurchased or replaced (a “Repurchase” ), or (iv) receives a Repurchase Communication of the rejection of a Repurchase Request (a “Repurchase Request Rejection” ), then such Person shall deliver written notice of such Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection (each such notice, a “Rule 15Ga-1 Notice” ) to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the related Mortgage Loan Seller, in each case within ten Business Days from such party’s receipt of a Repurchase Communication of such Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection, as applicable; provided, however, if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer receives notice of a Repurchase Request Withdrawal or Repurchase Request Rejection from the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, then such receiving party shall have no obligation to deliver such notice to any other party.

 

Each Rule 15Ga-1 Notice shall include (i) the identity of the related Mortgage Loan, (ii) the date the Repurchase Communication of the Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection, as applicable, was received and (iii) in the case of a Repurchase Request, (A) the identity of the Person making such Repurchase Request, (B) if known, the basis for the Repurchase Request (as asserted in the Repurchase Request) and (C) a statement from the Repurchase Request Recipient as to whether it currently plans to pursue such Repurchase Request.

 

No Person that is required to provide a Rule 15Ga-1 Notice pursuant to this Section 2.03(d) (a “Rule 15Ga-1 Notice Provider” ) shall be required to provide any information in a Rule 15Ga-1 Notice protected by the attorney-client privilege or attorney work product doctrines.

In the event that the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian receives a Repurchase Communication of a Repurchase Request or a Repurchase Request Withdrawal, then such party shall promptly forward such Repurchase Communication of such Repurchase Request or Repurchase Request Withdrawal to the Master Servicer, if relating to a Performing Loan, or to the Special Servicer, if relating to a Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property, and include the following statement in the related correspondence: “This is a “Repurchase Request [Withdrawal]”  under Section 2.03(d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to the Benchmark 2020-IG2 Mortgage Trust Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2020-IG2 requiring action by you as the recipient of such Repurchase Request or Repurchase Request Withdrawal thereunder” . Upon receipt of such Repurchase Communication of such Repurchase Request or Repurchase Request Withdrawal by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, such party shall be deemed to be the


 






    -151-


     

    

 


Repurchase Request Recipient of such Repurchase Communication of such Repurchase Request or Repurchase Request Withdrawal, and such party shall comply with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.03(d) with respect to such Repurchase Request or Repurchase Request Withdrawal. In no event shall the Custodian, by virtue of this provision, be required to provide any notice other than as set forth in Section 2.02 of this Agreement in connection with its review of the Mortgage File.

 

(e)        A “Defect”  shall exist with respect to a Mortgage Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan if any document constituting a part of the related Mortgage File has not been delivered within the time periods provided for in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, has not been properly executed, is missing, does not appear to be regular on its face or contains information that does not conform in any material respect with the corresponding information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule. A “Breach” shall mean a breach of any representation or warranty of any Mortgage Loan Seller made pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement with respect to any Mortgage Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan. If any party hereto discovers or receives notice of a Defect or a Breach, and if such Defect is a Material Defect or such Breach is a Material Breach, as applicable, then such party, on behalf of the Trust Fund, shall give prompt written notice thereof (which notice shall be accompanied by a written demand to cure, repurchase or substitute in accordance with the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement) to the related Mortgage Loan Seller, the other parties hereto, the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement), the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder (if any) and, for so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, the Directing Holder. If any such Defect or Breach materially and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, the value of the related Mortgaged Property or the interests of the Trustee, any Certificateholders, the RR Interest Owner or the UBR-VRR Interest Owner in any Mortgage Loan, Trust Companion Loan or Mortgaged Property, or causes the related Mortgage Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan to be other than a Qualified Mortgage, then such Defect shall constitute a “Material Defect”  or such Breach shall constitute a “Material Breach,”  as the case may be; provided that if any of the documents specified in Section 2.01(a)(i), Section 2.01(a)(ii), Section 2.01(a)(vii), Section 2.01(a)(xi) and Section 2.01(a)(xix) of this Agreement are not delivered as required in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, it shall be deemed a Material Defect. The Custodian, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall not be required to make any such determination. Promptly upon receiving written notice of any such Material Defect or Material Breach with respect to a Mortgage Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, accompanied by a written demand to take the actions contemplated by this sentence from the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian, on behalf of the Trust Fund, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall, not later than 90 days from the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s receipt of such notice of such Material Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be (or, in the case of a Material Defect or Material Breach relating to a Mortgage Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan not being a Qualified Mortgage, not later than 90 days after the Mortgage Loan Seller or any party hereto discovering such Material Defect or Material Breach, provided that the related Mortgage Loan Seller has received notice in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement) (any such 90-day period, the “Initial Resolution Period” ), (i) cure the same in all material respects, (ii) repurchase the affected


 






    -152-


     

    

 


Mortgage Loan, Trust Subordinate Companion Loan or REO Loan at the applicable Purchase Price in conformity with the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or (iii) substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (other than with respect to the Whole Loans, as applicable, for which no substitution will be permitted) for such affected Mortgage Loan (provided that, in no event shall such substitution occur later than the second anniversary of the Closing Date) and pay to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account (or, with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the applicable Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account) any Substitution Shortfall Amount in connection therewith; provided that, JPMCB may not repurchase such Trust Subordinate Companion Loan without repurchasing the related Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that if (i) such Material Defect or Material Breach is capable of being cured but not within the Initial Resolution Period or, with respect to the immediately preceding proviso, the time period set forth therein, (ii) such Material Defect or Material Breach is not related to any Mortgage Loan’s or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan’s not being a Qualified Mortgage, (iii) the Mortgage Loan Seller has commenced and is diligently proceeding with the cure of such Material Defect or Material Breach within the Initial Resolution Period and (iv) the Mortgage Loan Seller has delivered to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator (who will promptly deliver a copy of such officer’s certificate to the 17g-5 Information Provider), the Trustee and, other than during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Holder, an officer’s certificate that describes the reason the cure was not effected within the initial 90-day period, then the Mortgage Loan Seller shall have an additional period equal to the applicable Resolution Extension Period to complete such cure or, failing such cure, to repurchase the Mortgage Loan, the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and the related REO Loan or, if applicable, substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Mortgage Loan is not secured by a Mortgaged Property that is, in whole or in part, a hotel, restaurant (operated by a Borrower), healthcare facility, nursing home, assisted living facility, theatre or fitness center (operated by a Borrower), then the failure to deliver to the Custodian copies of the UCC financing statements with respect to such Mortgage Loan shall not be a Material Defect. With respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan, each applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s obligation shall be such Mortgage Loan Seller’s pro rata share based on such Mortgage Loan Seller’s percentage interest as of the date of the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in such Joint Mortgage Loan. With respect to the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans, the related Mortgage Loan Seller agrees that any Defect as such term is defined in the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement (other than a Defect related to the promissory note for the related Companion Loan) will constitute a Defect under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is a Material Breach or Material Defect with respect to one or more Mortgaged Properties with respect to a Mortgage Loan (or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan), the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller will not be obligated to repurchase the Mortgage Loan (or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan) and such Material Breach or Material Defect will be considered Resolved if (i) the affected Mortgaged Property may be released pursuant to the terms of any partial release provisions in the related Loan Documents (and such Mortgaged Property is, in fact, released), (ii) the remaining Mortgaged Property(ies) satisfy the requirements, if any, set forth in the Loan Documents and the Mortgage Loan Seller provides an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such release would not cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur and (iii) each applicable Rating Agency has provided a Rating Agency Confirmation.

If a cross-collateralized Mortgage Loan is required to be repurchased or substituted for and the applicable Material Defect does not constitute a Material Defect as to any other cross-collateralized Mortgage Loan in the related group of cross-collateralized Mortgage Loans (without regard to this paragraph), then the applicable Material Defect shall be deemed to constitute a Material Defect as to any other cross-collateralized Mortgage Loan in the related cross-collateralized group for purposes of this paragraph, and the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall be required to repurchase or substitute for the other cross-collateralized Mortgage Loan(s) in the related cross-collateralized group unless such other cross-collateralized Mortgage Loans satisfy the Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loan Repurchase Criteria. In the event that the remaining cross-collateralized Mortgage Loans in such cross-collateralized group satisfy the Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loan Repurchase Criteria, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller may elect either to repurchase or substitute for only the affected cross-collateralized Mortgage Loan(s) as to which the related Material Defect exists or to repurchase or substitute for all of the cross-collateralized Mortgage Loans in the related cross-collateralized group. Any reserve or other cash collateral or letters of credit securing the cross-collateralized Mortgage Loans shall be allocated among the related cross-collateralized Mortgage Loans in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan documents or otherwise on a pro rata basis based upon their outstanding Stated Principal Balances. Except as provided in this paragraph and the following paragraph, all other terms of the related Mortgage Loans shall remain in full force and effect without any modification thereof.

 

Notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, if the related Mortgage provides for the partial release of one or more of the cross-collateralized Mortgage Loans, the related Mortgage Loan Seller may repurchase only that cross-collateralized Mortgage Loan required to be repurchased, pursuant to the partial release provisions of the related Mortgage; provided, however, that (i) the remaining related cross-collateralized Mortgage Loan(s) fully comply with the terms and conditions of the related Mortgage, this Agreement and the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including the Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loan Repurchase Criteria, (ii) in connection with such partial release, the related Mortgage Loan Seller obtains an opinion of counsel (at such Mortgage Loan Seller’s expense) to the effect that the contemplated action shall not (A) cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or (B) result in the imposition of a tax upon any Trust REMIC or the issuing entity and (iii) in connection with such partial release, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the custodian original modifications to the Mortgage prepared and executed in connection with such partial release.

 

With respect to any cross-collateralized Mortgage Loan, to the extent that the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller is required or elects, as applicable, to repurchase or substitute for such cross-collateralized Mortgage Loan in the manner prescribed in either of the two preceding paragraphs while the trustee continues to hold any other cross-collateralized Mortgage Loans in the related cross-collateralized group, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, on behalf of the trustee, as assignee of the depositor, shall, as set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, forbear from enforcing any remedies against the other’s Primary Collateral but each will be permitted to exercise remedies against the Primary Collateral securing its respective related Mortgage Loans, including with respect to the trustee, the Primary Collateral securing the Mortgage Loans still held by the trustee, so long as such exercise does not materially impair the ability of the other party to exercise its remedies against its Primary Collateral. If the exercise of the remedies by one party would materially impair the ability of the other party to exercise its remedies with respect to the Primary Collateral


 






    -154-


     

    

 


securing the cross-collateralized Mortgage Loans held by such party, then both parties have agreed in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to forbear from exercising such remedies until the Mortgage Loan documents evidencing and securing the relevant Mortgage Loan can be modified in a manner that complies with the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to remove the threat of material impairment as a result of the exercise of remedies.

 

If a Mortgage Loan Seller, in connection with a Material Defect or a Material Breach (or an allegation of a Material Defect or a Material Breach) pertaining to a Mortgage Loan (or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan), makes a cash payment pursuant to an agreement or a settlement between the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller and the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust (and, for so long as no Control Termination Event is continuing and only with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is not an applicable Excluded Loan or any Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan, with the consent of the Directing Holder) (or the Chase Center Tower Controlling Class Representative in respect of the Trust Subordinate Companion Loans) if no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing (each such payment, a “Loss of Value Payment” ) with respect to such Mortgage Loan, the amount of such Loss of Value Payment shall be deposited into the Loss of Value Reserve Fund to be applied in accordance with Section 3.06(e) of this Agreement. In connection with any such determination with respect to any Performing Loan, the Master Servicer shall promptly provide the Special Servicer, but in any event within the time frame and in the manner set forth in Section 3.23, with the Servicing File and all information, documents (but excluding the original documents constituting the Mortgage File) and records (including records stored electronically) relating to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, and reasonably requested by the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 2.03 in order to permit the Special Servicer to calculate the Loss of Value Payment. If such Loss of Value Payment is made, the Loss of Value Payment shall serve as the sole remedy available to the Certificateholders, the RR Interest Owner, the UBR-VRR Interest Owner and the Trustee on their behalf regarding any such Material Breach or Material Defect in lieu of any obligation of the Mortgage Loan Seller to otherwise cure such Material Breach or Material Defect or repurchase or substitute for the affected Mortgage Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan based on such Material Breach or Material Defect under any circumstances. This paragraph is intended to apply only to a mutual agreement or settlement between the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller and the Trust, provided that (i) prior to any such agreement or settlement nothing in this paragraph shall preclude the Mortgage Loan Seller or the Trustee from exercising any of its rights related to a Material Defect or a Material Breach in the manner and timing set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or this Section 2.03 (excluding this paragraph) (including any right to cure, repurchase or substitute for such Mortgage Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan); (ii) such Loss of Value Payment shall not be greater than the Purchase Price of the affected Mortgage Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan; and (iii) a Material Defect or a Material Breach as a result of a Mortgage Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan not constituting a Qualified Mortgage may not be cured by a Loss of Value Payment. With respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan, each applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s obligation shall be such Mortgage Loan Seller’s pro rata share based on such Mortgage Loan Seller’s percentage interest as of the date of the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in such Joint Mortgage Loan.

 

If any Breach pertains to a representation or warranty to the effect that the related Mortgage Loan documents or any particular Mortgage Loan document requires the related


 






    -155-


     

    

 


Borrower to bear the costs and expenses associated with any particular action or matter under such Mortgage Loan document(s), then the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall cure such Breach within the applicable cure period (as the same may be extended) by reimbursing the Trust Fund (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) the reasonable amount of any such costs and expenses incurred by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Trust Fund that are incurred as a result of such Breach and have not been reimbursed by the related Borrower; provided, however, that in the event any such costs and expenses exceed $10,000, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall have the option to either repurchase or substitute for the related Mortgage Loan as provided above or pay such costs and expenses. Except as provided in the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall remit the amount of such costs and expenses and upon its making such remittance, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall be deemed to have cured such Breach in all respects. To the extent any fees or expenses that are the subject of a cure by the related Mortgage Loan Seller are subsequently obtained from the related Borrower, the portion of the cure payment made by the related Mortgage Loan Seller equal to such fees or expenses obtained from the related Borrower shall promptly be returned to the related Mortgage Loan Seller. With respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan, each applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s obligation shall be such Mortgage Loan Seller’s pro rata share based on such Mortgage Loan Seller’s percentage interest as of the date of the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in such Joint Mortgage Loan.

 

(f)         In connection with any repurchase of or substitution for a Mortgage Loan contemplated by this Section 2.03, (A) the Custodian, the Master Servicer (with respect to any Performing Loan) and the Special Servicer (with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan) shall each tender to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller all portions of the Mortgage File (in the case of the Custodian) and the Servicing File (in the case of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable) and other documents pertaining to such Mortgage Loan possessed by it (other than attorney-client communications that are privileged communications), upon delivery (i) to each of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, of a trust receipt and (ii) to the Custodian by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, of a Request for Release and an acknowledgement by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, of its receipt of the Purchase Price or the Substitution Shortfall Amount from the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, (B) each document that constitutes a part of the Mortgage File that was endorsed or assigned to the Trustee shall be endorsed or assigned without recourse in the form of endorsement or assignment provided to the Custodian by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, as the case may be, to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller as shall be necessary to vest in the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller the legal and beneficial ownership of such Mortgage Loan to the extent such ownership was transferred to the Trustee (provided that the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate in furnishing necessary information to the extent in its possession to the Mortgage Loan Seller in connection with such Mortgage Loan Seller’s preparation of such endorsement or assignment) and (C) the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall release, or cause a release of, any escrow payments and reserve funds held by the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, or on the Trustee’s, the Certificate Administrator’s, the Master Servicer’s and the Special Servicer’s, as applicable, behalf, in respect of such Mortgage Loan to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller.

 






    -156-


     

    

 

(g)        The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall, for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, use reasonable efforts to enforce the obligations of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller under Section 6 of the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, shall be carried out in accordance with the Servicing Standard. The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall be reimbursed for the reasonable costs of such enforcement: first, pursuant to Section 3.06 of this Agreement (with respect to the related Mortgage Loan), out of the related Purchase Price or Substitution Shortfall Amount, as applicable, to the extent that such expenses are a specific component thereof; and second, if at the conclusion of such enforcement action it is determined that the amounts described in clause first are insufficient, then pursuant to Section 3.06 of this Agreement, out of general collections on the Mortgage Loans on deposit in the Collection Account in each case with interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate from the time such expense was incurred to, but excluding, the date such expense was reimbursed. To the extent the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller prevails in such proceeding, such Mortgage Loan Seller shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Trust for all necessary and reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with such proceeding, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.

 

So long as document exceptions are outstanding, on each anniversary of the Closing Date, the Custodian shall prepare and forward to the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Directing Holder (as identified to the Custodian by the Certificate Administrator), the Chase Center Tower Controlling Class Representative (only with respect to the Chase Center Tower Mortgage Loans) and the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, a document exception report setting forth the then current status of any Defects related to the Mortgage Files pertaining to the Mortgage Loans sold by such Mortgage Loan Seller.

 

As to any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer (with respect to Performing Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties) shall direct the related Mortgage Loan Seller to deliver to the Custodian for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (with a copy to the Master Servicer), the related Mortgage File with the related Mortgage Note endorsed as required by Section 2.01(a)(i) hereof. Periodic Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in or prior to the month of substitution shall not be part of the Trust Fund and, if received by the Master Servicer, shall be remitted by the Master Servicer to the related Mortgage Loan Seller on the next succeeding Distribution Date. For the month of repurchase or substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will include the Periodic Payment(s) due on the related Removed Mortgage Loan, if and to the extent received by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust on or prior to the related date of repurchase or substitution, as applicable, and such Mortgage Loan Seller shall be entitled to retain all amounts received thereafter in respect of such Removed Mortgage Loan.

 

In any month in which a Mortgage Loan Seller substitutes one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Removed Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer will determine the applicable Substitution Shortfall Amount and promptly notify the Certificate Administrator thereof. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall direct such Mortgage Loan Seller to deposit into the Collection Account and/or the applicable


 






    -157-


     

    

 


Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account, as applicable, cash equal to such amount concurrently with the delivery of the Mortgage Files for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans, without any reimbursement thereof. The Certificate Administrator shall also direct such Mortgage Loan Seller to give written notice to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Master Servicer of such deposit. The Certificate Administrator shall cause its Distribution Date Statement to reflect the removal of each Removed Mortgage Loan and, if applicable, the substitution of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan. Upon any such substitution, the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects.

 

It is understood and agreed that Section 6 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements provides the sole remedy available to the Certificateholders, the RR Interest Owner and the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders respecting any Breach (including a Breach with respect to a Mortgage Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan failing to constitute a Qualified Mortgage) or any Defect.

 

(h)        In the event that any litigation is commenced which alleges facts which, in the judgment of the Depositor, could constitute a breach of any of the Depositor’s representations and warranties relating to the Mortgage Loans, the Depositor hereby reserves the right to conduct the defense of such litigation at its expense and shall not be required to obtain any consent from the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Directing Holder, unless such defense results in any liability of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Directing Holder, as applicable.

 

(i)         If for any reason a Mortgage Loan Seller fails to fulfill its obligations under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer (with respect to Performing Loans) and the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) shall use reasonable efforts in enforcing any obligation of such Mortgage Loan Seller (including but not limited to) to cure, repurchase or substitute for such Mortgage Loan under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement all at the expense of such Mortgage Loan Seller.

 

(j)         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, for the purposes of Section 2.03 of this Agreement and any provision relating to repurchase and substitution obligations for a Material Breach or Material Defect, with respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan, the obligations of each of the applicable Mortgage Loan Sellers to repurchase or substitute such Joint Mortgage Loan shall be limited to a repurchase, substitution or Loss of Value Payment with respect to the Note it sold to the Depositor in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. With respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan, any cure by either of the applicable Mortgage Loan Sellers with respect to the Note sold by it to the Depositor in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement that also cures the Material Defect or Material Breach with respect to the entire related Joint Mortgage Loan shall satisfy the cure obligations of both Mortgage Loan Sellers with respect to such Joint Mortgage Loan.

The Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s liability for actions and omissions in its capacity as Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder is limited as provided herein (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 6.03 hereof). To the extent consistent with the foregoing and subject to any express limitations set forth in this Agreement, the Master Servicer and Special Servicer shall seek to maximize the timely and complete recovery of principal and interest on the Mortgage Notes; provided that nothing herein contained shall be construed as an express or implied guarantee by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer of the collectability of the Mortgage Loans or the Serviced Companion Loans. Subject only to the Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer and Special Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone or through sub-servicers (subject to paragraph (c) of this Section 3.01, to the related sub-servicing agreement with each sub-servicer and to Section 3.02 of this Agreement), to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration that it may deem consistent with the Servicing Standard and, in its reasonable judgment, in the best interests of the Certificateholders, including, without limitation, with respect to each Serviced Mortgage Loan and, in the case of any Serviced Whole Loan, in the best interests of the Certificateholders and the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder(s), as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and (with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan) Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder(s) constituted a single lender (and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan with any related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan, taking into account the subordinate nature of such Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan) to prepare, execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders and the Trustee or any of them: (i) any and all financing statements, continuation statements and other documents or instruments necessary to maintain the lien on each Mortgaged Property and related collateral; (ii) any modifications, waivers, consents or amendments to or with respect to any documents contained in the related Mortgage File; and (iii) any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to such Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties.

The Trustee shall not be held liable for any misuse of any such power of attorney or such other documents by the Master Servicer and Special Servicer, as applicable. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, none of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall, without the Trustee’s written consent: (i) initiate any action, suit or proceeding solely under the Trustee’s name without indicating the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as the case may be, representative capacity (unless prohibited by any requirement of the applicable jurisdiction in which any such action, suit or proceeding is brought and if so prohibited, in the manner required by such jurisdiction (provided that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall then provide five (5) Business Days’ written notice to the Trustee of the initiation of such action, suit or proceeding (or such shorter time period as is reasonably required in the judgment of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, made in accordance with the Servicing Standard) prior to filing such action, suit or proceeding), and shall not be required to obtain the Trustee’s consent or indicate the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as applicable, representative capacity); or (ii) take any action with the intent to cause, and that actually causes, the Trustee to be registered to do business in any state.

Any such Sub-Servicing Agreement may permit the Sub-Servicer to delegate its duties to agents or Subcontractors so long as the related agreements or arrangements with such agents or Subcontractors are consistent with the provisions of this Section 3.01(c) (including, for the avoidance of doubt, that no such agent or Subcontractor is a Prohibited Party, if such agent or Subcontractor would be a Servicing Function Participant, at the time the related sub-servicing agreement is entered into). Any monies received by a Sub-Servicer pursuant to a Sub-Servicing agreement (other than sub-servicing fees) shall be deemed to be received by the Master Servicer on the date received by such Sub-Servicer.

 

Any Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide that it may be assumed or terminated by the Trustee (in its sole discretion, but must be assumed with respect to any Mortgage Loan Seller Sub-Servicer so long as such Mortgage Loan Seller Sub-Servicer is not in default under the applicable Sub-Servicing Agreement) if the Trustee has assumed the duties of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, respectively, or any successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, without cost or obligation to the assuming party or the Trust Fund, upon the assumption by such party of the obligations, except to the extent they arose prior to the date of assumption, of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, pursuant to Section 7.02 (it being understood that any such obligations shall be the obligations of the terminated Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, only).

 

Any Sub-Servicing Agreement, and any other transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans or the Serviced Companion Loans involving a Sub-Servicer, shall be deemed to be between the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and such Sub-Servicer alone, and the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Trust Fund, the Certificateholders and, if applicable, Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights (except as specified below), obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Sub-Servicer, except as set forth in Section 3.01(c)(ii) and Section 3.01(d).

 

Any Sub-Servicing Agreement as to which a Mortgage Loan Seller required the Master Servicer to enter into shall provide that the Master Servicer (and any successor Master Servicer) or Trustee may only terminate the related Mortgage Loan Seller Sub-Servicer for cause


 






    -168-

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall not enter into any Sub-Servicing Agreement which provides for the performance by third parties of any or all of its obligations herein, without the consent of the Directing Holder for so long as no Control Termination Event is continuing, except to the extent necessary for the Special Servicer to comply with applicable regulatory requirements.

 

The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall monitor the performance and enforce the obligations of each Mortgage Loan Seller Sub-Servicer and each Sub-Servicer that it retains under a related Sub-Servicing Agreement, except that the Master Servicer shall only be required to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any Mortgage Loan Seller Sub-Servicer to comply with Article X hereof. No Sub-Servicer shall be permitted under any Sub-Servicing Agreement to make material servicing decisions, such as loan modifications or determinations as to the manner or timing of enforcing remedies under the Mortgage Loan documents, without the consent of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable. The Master Servicer’s consent may also be required for certain other servicing decisions as provided in the related Sub-Servicing Agreement.

 

(d)        If the Trustee or any successor Master Servicer assumes the obligations of the Master Servicer, or if the Trustee or any successor Special Servicer assumes the obligations of the Special Servicer, in each case in accordance with Section 7.02, the Trustee, the successor Master Servicer or such successor Special Servicer, as applicable, to the extent necessary to permit the Trustee, the successor Master Servicer or such successor Special Servicer, as applicable, to carry out the provisions of Section 7.02, shall, without act or deed on the part of the Trustee, the successor Master Servicer or such successor Special Servicer, as applicable, succeed to all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, under any Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, pursuant to Section 3.01(c). In such event, such successor shall be deemed to have assumed all of the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s interest, as applicable, therein (but not any liabilities or obligations in respect of acts or omissions of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, prior to such deemed assumption) and to have replaced the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, as a party to such Sub-Servicing Agreement to the same extent as if such Sub-Servicing Agreement had been assigned to such successor, except that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under such Sub-Servicing Agreement that accrued prior to the succession of such successor.

 

If the Trustee or any successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, assumes the servicing obligations of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, then upon request of such successor, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall at its own expense (except (i) in the event that the Special Servicer is terminated pursuant to Section 3.22(b), at the expense of the Certificateholders effecting such termination, as applicable; or (ii) in the event that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is terminated pursuant to Section 6.04(c), at the expense of the Trust) deliver to such successor all documents and records relating to any Sub-Servicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loans and/or the Serviced Companion Loans, as applicable, then being serviced hereunder or thereunder and an


 






    -169-


     

    

 


accounting of amounts collected and held by it, if any, and shall otherwise use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of any Sub-Servicing Agreement to such successor. The Master Servicer shall not be required to assume the obligations of the Special Servicer and nothing in this paragraph shall imply otherwise.

 

(e)        The parties hereto acknowledge that each Whole Loan is subject to the terms and conditions of the related Intercreditor Agreement and, with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, further subject to the servicing under and all other terms and conditions of the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The parties hereto further recognize the respective rights and obligations of each Companion Loan Noteholder under the related Intercreditor Agreement, including, without limitation with respect to (A) the allocation of collections (and all other amounts received in connection with the related Whole Loan) on or in respect of the related Mortgage Loan and (B) the allocation of Default Interest on or in respect of the related Mortgage Loan.

 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Master Servicer’s and the Special Servicer’s obligations and responsibilities hereunder and the Master Servicer’s and the Special Servicer’s authority with respect to the Serviced Whole Loans are limited by and subject to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement and, with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the rights of the Other Servicer and the Other Special Servicer under the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer shall, consistent with the applicable Servicing Standard, enforce the rights of the Trustee (as holder of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) under the related Intercreditor Agreement and the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The parties hereto acknowledge that each Non-Serviced Whole Loan and any related REO Property are being serviced and administered under the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Other Servicer will make any Servicing Advances required thereunder in respect of such Non-Serviced Whole Loan and remit collections on the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan to or on behalf of the Trust. None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee shall have any obligation or authority to supervise the related Other Servicer, the related Other Special Servicer or the related Other Trustee or to make Servicing Advances with respect to any such Non-Serviced Whole Loan. Although each Non-Serviced Whole Loan is being serviced under the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Directing Holder may have certain information and consultation rights relating to the servicing of the Non-Serviced Whole Loan pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement and the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any obligation of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, to provide information and collections to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Certificateholders with respect to any Non-Serviced Whole Loan shall be dependent on its receipt of the corresponding information and collections from the related Other Servicer or the related Other Special Servicer. Nothing herein shall be deemed to override the provisions of an Intercreditor Agreement with respect to the rights of the related noteholders thereunder and with respect to the servicing and administrative duties and obligations with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loans. In the event of any inconsistency or discrepancy between the provisions, terms or conditions of an Intercreditor Agreement related to a Non-Serviced Whole Loan and the provisions, terms or conditions of this Agreement, the related Intercreditor Agreement shall govern.

 






    -170-


     

    

 

If any Mortgage Loan included in any Serviced Whole Loan is no longer part of the Trust Fund and the servicing and administration of such Serviced Whole Loan is to be governed by a separate servicing agreement and not by this Agreement, the Master Servicer and, if such Serviced Whole Loan is then being specially serviced hereunder, the Special Servicer, shall continue to act in such capacities under such separate servicing agreement, which agreement shall be reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, and shall contain servicing and administration, limitation of liability, indemnification and servicing compensation provisions substantially similar to the corresponding provisions of this Agreement, except that such Serviced Whole Loan and the related Mortgaged Property shall be serviced as if they were the sole assets serviced and administered thereunder and the sole source of funds thereunder and except that there shall be no further obligation of any Person to make P&I Advances. All amounts due the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Special Servicer (including Advances and interest thereon) pursuant to this Agreement and the applicable Intercreditor Agreement shall be paid to the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Special Servicer by the successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, or as an Additional Trust Fund Expense on the first Master Servicer Remittance Date following termination. In addition, until such time as a separate servicing agreement with respect to such Serviced Whole Loan and any related Serviced REO Property has been entered into and, notwithstanding that neither such Mortgage Loan nor any related Serviced REO Property is part of the Trust Fund, the Custodian shall continue to hold the Mortgage File and the Master Servicer and, if applicable, the Special Servicer shall (subject to the preceding sentence) continue to service such Serviced Whole Loan or any related Serviced REO Property, as the case may be, under this Agreement as if it were a separate servicing agreement. Nothing herein shall be deemed to override the provisions of an Intercreditor Agreement with respect to the rights of the related noteholders thereunder and with respect to the servicing and administrative duties and obligations with respect to such Serviced Whole Loans. In the event of any inconsistency or discrepancy between the provisions, terms or conditions of an Intercreditor Agreement related to a Serviced Whole Loan and the provisions, terms or conditions of this Agreement, the related Intercreditor Agreement shall govern, and as to any matter on which such Intercreditor Agreement is silent or makes reference to this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern.

 

(f)         The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the servicing and administration of the Trust Subordinate Companion Loans shall continue hereunder by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer even if the related Chase Center Tower Mortgage Loan is no longer part of the Trust Fund.

 

Section 3.02    
Liability of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer When Sub-Servicing. Notwithstanding any Sub-Servicing Agreement,
any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Master Servicer or Special Servicer,
as applicable, and any Person acting as sub-servicer (or its agents or Subcontractors) or any reference to actions taken through

arrangements or by virtue of
indemnification from the Depositor or any other Person acting as sub-servicer (or its agents or Subcontractors) to the same extent
and under the same terms and conditions as if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, alone were servicing
and administering the Mortgage Loans, Trust Subordinate Companion Loans and Serviced Companion Loans. Each of the Master Servicer
and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to enter into an agreement with any sub-servicer providing for indemnification of the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, by such sub-servicer, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be
deemed to limit or modify such indemnification, but no such agreement for indemnification shall be deemed to limit or modify this
Agreement.

 

Section 3.03    
Collection of Mortgage Loan and Serviced Companion Loan Payments. The Master Servicer (with respect to all the Serviced
Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loans (other than Specially Serviced Loans) that the Master Servicer is servicing)

Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loans, as applicable, that have Anticipated Repayment Dates, so long as the related Borrower

Servicer in its capacity as a Certificateholder, if applicable) shall not take any enforcement action with respect to the failure
of the related Borrower to make any payment of Excess Interest, other than requests for collection, until the final maturity date
of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, or the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced
Whole Loan, as applicable, has been paid in full, however, consistent with the applicable Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer,
or the Special Servicer each may in its discretion waive the Excess Interest (even at the final maturity date) in connection with
any Mortgage Loan it is obligated to service hereunder if taking such action is in the best interest of the Certificateholders
as a collective whole. With respect to each Performing Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), the Master Servicer shall
use its reasonable efforts, consistent with the Servicing Standard, to collect income statements and rent rolls from Borrowers
as required by the Loan Documents and the terms hereof. The Master Servicer shall provide at least 90 days’ notice (with

With respect to each Specially Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts, consistent with the Servicing Standard, to collect income statements and rent rolls from Borrowers as required by the Loan Documents. The Special Servicer, in the case of Serviced REO Loans, and the Master Servicer, in the case of all Serviced Mortgage Loans that it is servicing, shall use reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to, from time to time, (i) obtain all bills for the payment of such items (including renewal premiums), and (ii) effect, or, if the Special Servicer, to use reasonable efforts to cause the Master Servicer to effect, payment of all such bills with respect to such Mortgaged Properties prior to the applicable penalty or termination date, in each case employing for such purpose Escrow Payments as allowed under the terms of the related Loan Documents for the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan.

The Master Servicer shall pay to the Special Servicer from the Collection Account amounts permitted to be paid to it therefrom promptly upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer of the Special Servicer describing the item and amount to which the Special Servicer is entitled. The Master Servicer may rely conclusively on any such certificate and shall have no duty to re-calculate the amounts stated therein. The Special Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting for each Specially Serviced Loan and Serviced REO Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan, on a loan-by-loan and, if appropriate, property-by-property basis, for the purpose of justifying any request for withdrawal from the Collection Account.

 

The Master Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting records, on a Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, reflecting amounts allocable to each Mortgage Loan, and on a property-by-property basis when appropriate, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal, debit or credit from the Collection Account or the Trust Ledger. Upon written request, the Master Servicer shall provide to the Certificate Administrator such records and any other information in the possession of the Master Servicer to enable the Certificate Administrator to determine the amounts attributable to (i) the Lower-Tier REMIC with respect to the Mortgage Loans, (ii) the Excess Interest and (iii) the Companion Loans.

The Master Servicer shall pay to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer, the Other Trustee, the Other Servicer or the Other Special Servicer, from the Collection Account amounts permitted to be paid to such Person therefrom, promptly upon receipt of a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, a responsible officer of the Other Trustee, a Responsible Officer of the Certificate Administrator, a certificate of a Servicing Officer or a certificate of the Other Servicer or Other Special Servicer, as applicable, describing the item and amount to which such Person is entitled (unless such payment to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer, the Other Trustee, the Other Servicer or Other Special Servicer, as the case may be, is specifically required pursuant to this Agreement and the timing and the amount of payment is specified in, or calculable pursuant to, this Agreement, in which case a certificate is not required). The Master Servicer may rely conclusively on any such certificate and shall have no duty to recalculate the amounts stated therein.

 

The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, CREFC®  and the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Service Providers (to the extent specified in Section 12.12) shall in all cases have a right prior to the Certificateholders to any funds on deposit in the Collection Account from time to time for the reimbursement or payment of the Servicing Compensation (including investment income), Certificate Administrator/Trustee Fees, Special Servicing Compensation (including investment income), the CREFC®  Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee, Advances, Advance Interest Amounts (for each of such Persons other than CREFC® ), their respective indemnification payments (if any) pursuant to Section 6.03, Section 8.05 or Section 12.02 of this Agreement (for each of such Persons other than CREFC® ), their respective expenses hereunder to the extent such fees and expenses are to be reimbursed or paid from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account pursuant to this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, any fees or expenses (including legal fees) for which a party is to be indemnified pursuant to Section 6.03 herein may be submitted directly to the Trust Fund and paid from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account on behalf of such party pursuant to this Agreement. In addition, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer shall in all cases have a right prior to the Certificateholders to any funds on deposit in the Collection Account from time to time for the reimbursement and payment of any federal, state or local taxes imposed on any Trust REMIC.

  

Upon the determination that a previously made Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, to the extent that the reimbursement thereof would exceed the full amount of the principal portion of general collections on the Mortgage Loans (or with respect to Servicing Advances, the Serviced Whole Loans) deposited in the Collection Account and available for distribution on the next Distribution Date, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, each at its own option and in its sole discretion, as applicable, instead of obtaining reimbursement for the remaining amount of such Nonrecoverable Advance pursuant to Section 3.06(a) or Section 3.06(b) of this Agreement immediately, may elect to refrain from obtaining such reimbursement for such portion of the Nonrecoverable Advance during the Collection Period ending on the then-current Determination Date for successive one-month periods for a total period not to exceed 12 months (with the consent of the Directing Holder, for so long as no Control Termination Event is continuing, for any deferral in excess of 6 months). If the Master Servicer or the Trustee makes such an election at its sole option and in its sole discretion to defer reimbursement with respect to all or a portion of a Nonrecoverable Advance (together with interest thereon), then such Nonrecoverable Advance (together with interest thereon) or portion



    -194-


     

    

thereof shall continue to be fully reimbursable in the subsequent Collection Period (subject, again, to the same sole discretion to elect to defer; it is acknowledged that, in such a subsequent period, such Nonrecoverable Advance shall again be payable first from principal collections as described above prior to payment from other collections). In connection with a potential election by the Master Servicer or the Trustee to refrain from the reimbursement of a particular Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof during the one-month Collection Period ending on the related Determination Date for any Distribution Date, the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall further be authorized (in its sole discretion) to wait for principal collections on the Mortgage Loans, the Trust Subordinate Companion Loans and Serviced Companion Loans, as applicable, to be received before making its determination of whether to refrain from the reimbursement of a particular Nonrecoverable Advance (or portion thereof) until the end of such Collection Period; provided that the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall use reasonable efforts to give notice of its election to the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement), at least 15 days prior to any reimbursement to it of Nonrecoverable Advances from amounts in the Collection Account allocable to interest on the Mortgage Loans unless (1) the Master Servicer or the Trustee determines in its sole discretion that waiting 15 days after such a notice could jeopardize its ability to recover Nonrecoverable Advances, (2) changed circumstances or new or different information becomes known to the Master Servicer or the Trustee that could affect or cause a determination of whether any Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, whether to defer reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance or the determination in clause (1) above, or (3) the Master Servicer or the Trustee has not timely received from the Certificate Administrator information requested by the Master Servicer or the Trustee to consider in determining whether to defer reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance; provided that, if clause (1), (2) or (3) apply, the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall give notice of an anticipated reimbursement to it of Nonrecoverable Advances from amounts in the Collection Account allocable to interest on the Mortgage Loans as soon as reasonably practicable in such circumstances to the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement). Neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall have any liability for any loss, liability or expense resulting from any notice provided to each Rating Agency contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence.

 

The foregoing shall not, however, be construed to limit any liability that may otherwise be imposed on such Person for any failure by such Person to comply with the conditions to making such an election under this Section 3.06(a) or to comply with the terms of this Section 3.06(a) and the other provisions of this Agreement that apply once such an election, if any, has been made. If the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, determines, in its sole discretion, that it should recover the Nonrecoverable Advances without deferral as described above, then the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to immediate reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances with interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate from all amounts in the Collection Accounts for such Distribution Date. Any such election by any such party to refrain from reimbursing itself or obtaining reimbursement for any Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof with respect to any one or more Collection Periods shall not limit the accrual of interest at the Reimbursement Rate on such Nonrecoverable Advance for the period prior to the actual reimbursement of such Nonrecoverable Advance. The Master Servicer’s or the Trustee’s, as applicable, election to defer reimbursement of such Nonrecoverable Advances as set forth above is an accommodation to the Certificateholders and,



    -195-


     

    

 

as applicable, the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders and shall not be construed as an obligation on the part of the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, or a right of the Certificateholders or the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders. Nothing herein shall be deemed to create in the Certificateholders or the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders a right to prior payment of distributions over the Master Servicer’s or the Trustee’s, as applicable, right to reimbursement for Advances (deferred or otherwise). In all events, the decision to defer reimbursement or to seek immediate reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances shall be deemed to be in accordance with the Servicing Standard and neither the Master Servicer, the Trustee nor the other parties to this Agreement shall have any liability to one another or to any of the Certificateholders or any of the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders for any such election that such party makes as contemplated by this Section 3.06(a) or for any losses, damages or other adverse economic or other effects that may arise from such an election.

 

None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee shall be permitted to reverse any other Person’s determination, or to prohibit any such other authorized Person from making a determination, that an Advance constitutes, or would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.

 

If the Master Servicer, the Trustee or any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Service Provider, as applicable, is reimbursed out of general collections for any unreimbursed Advances that are determined to be Nonrecoverable Advances (together with any Advance Interest Amount), then (for purposes of calculating distributions on the Certificates) such reimbursement and payment of interest shall be deemed to have been made: first, out of the Principal Distribution Amount, which, but for its application to reimburse a Nonrecoverable Advance and/or to pay the Advance Interest Amount, would be included in Available Funds for any subsequent Distribution Date and, second, out of other amounts which, but for their application to reimburse a Nonrecoverable Advance and/or to pay the Advance Interest Amount, would be included in Available Funds for any subsequent Distribution Date.

 

If and to the extent that any payment is deemed to be applied as contemplated in the paragraph above to reimburse a Nonrecoverable Advance or to pay the Advance Interest Amount, then the Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date shall be reduced, to not less than zero, by the amount of such reimbursement. If and to the extent (i) any Advance is determined to be a Nonrecoverable Advance, (ii) such Advance and/or the Advance Interest Amount is reimbursed out of the Principal Distribution Amount as contemplated above and (iii) the particular item for which such Advance was originally made is subsequently collected out of payments or other collections in respect of the related Mortgage Loan, then the Principal Distribution Amount for the Distribution Date that corresponds to the Collection Period in which such item was recovered shall be increased by an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the amount of such item and (B) any previous reduction in the Principal Distribution Amount for a prior Distribution Date as contemplated in the paragraph above resulting from the reimbursement of the subject Advance and/or the payment of the Advance Interest Amount.

 

(b)        The Master Servicer shall maintain a separate Trust Ledger with respect to each Serviced Whole Loan that it is servicing on which it shall make ledger entries as to amounts deposited (or credited) or withdrawn (or debited) with respect thereto. On each Master Servicer Remittance Date (or such other date as may be specified below or on which funds are available for such purpose as specified below), with respect to each Serviced Whole Loan, the Master

Servicer shall make withdrawals from amounts allocated thereto in the related Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account (and may debit the Trust Ledger) for any of the following purposes (the order set forth below not constituting an order of priority for such withdrawals):

 

(i)         to make remittances each month in an aggregate amount of immediately available funds equal to the allocable portion of the applicable Serviced Whole Loan Remittance Amount (A) to the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders or the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan REMIC Distribution Account, as applicable, within the time frame specified in, and otherwise in accordance with Section 3.05(h), (B) to the Collection Account for the benefit of the Trust in respect of amounts allocable to the related Mortgage Loan, in each case in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement (after taking into account the amounts permitted to be withdrawn from the Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account pursuant to this Section 3.06(b)) provided that Liquidation Proceeds relating to the repurchase of any Serviced Companion Loan (other than the Trust Subordinate Companion Loans) by the related seller thereof shall be remitted solely to the holder of such Serviced Companion Loan, as the case may be, and Liquidation Proceeds relating to the repurchase of a Mortgage Loan related to a Serviced Whole Loan by the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall be remitted solely to the Collection Account and (C) Liquidation Proceeds relating to the repurchase of the Trust Subordinate Companion Loans by the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall be remitted solely to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan REMIC Distribution Account;

 

(ii)        to pay (A) to itself unpaid Servicing Fees (or, with respect to any Excess Servicing Fee Rights, to pay any Excess Servicing Fees to the holder of such Excess Servicing Fee Rights pursuant to Section 3.12(a) of this Agreement) and to the Special Servicer unpaid Special Servicing Fees, Liquidation Fees and Workout Fees in respect of such Serviced Whole Loan or related Serviced REO Loan, as applicable, the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as applicable, rights to payment of Servicing Fees, Special Servicing Fees, Liquidation Fees and Workout Fees, as applicable, pursuant to this clause (ii)(A) with respect to such Serviced Whole Loan or related Serviced REO Loan, as applicable, being limited to amounts received on or in respect of such Serviced Whole Loan (whether in the form of payments, Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds), or such Serviced REO Loan (whether in the form of REO Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds), that are allocable as recovery of interest thereon and (B) to the Special Servicer, each month to the extent not covered by clause (ii)(A) above, any unpaid Special Servicing Fees, Liquidation Fees and Workout Fees in respect of such Serviced Whole Loan or related Serviced REO Loan, as applicable, remaining unpaid out of general collections in the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.06(a)(ii) of this Agreement;

(c)        On each Master Servicer Remittance Date, all net income and gain realized from investment of funds to which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is entitled pursuant to Section 3.07(b) of this Agreement shall be subject to withdrawal by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable.

(ii)        to pay, in accordance with Section 3.06(a) of this Agreement, or to reimburse the Trust for the prior payment of, any expense relating to such Mortgage Loan or any related Serviced REO Property that constitutes or, if not paid out of such Loss of Value Payments, would constitute an Additional Trust Fund Expense;

 

(iii)       to offset any portion of Realized Losses and VRR Realized Losses that are attributable to such Mortgage Loan or related REO Property, as the case may be (as calculated without regard to the application of such Loss of Value Payments), incurred with respect to such Mortgage Loan or any related successor REO Loan;

 

(iv)       following the occurrence of a liquidation event with respect to such Mortgage Loan, Trust Subordinate Companion Loan or any related Serviced REO Property and any related transfers from the Loss of Value Reserve Fund with respect to the items contemplated by the immediately preceding clauses (i)-(iii) as to such Mortgage Loan, Trust Subordinate Companion Loan or related Serviced REO Property, to cover the items contemplated by the immediately preceding clauses (i)-(iii) in respect of any other Mortgage Loan or Serviced REO Loan; and

(a) The Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account, and any Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account and any Borrower Accounts (as defined below and subject to the second succeeding sentence)), the Special Servicer (with respect to any REO Account and any Loss of Value Reserve Fund) and the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts, the Interest Reserve Account, the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and the Chase Center Tower Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account) may direct any depository institution maintaining the Collection Account, any Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account, the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account, the Chase Center Tower Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account, any Borrower Accounts, any REO Account, any Loss of Value Reserve Fund, the Interest Reserve Account and the Distribution Accounts (each such account, for purposes of this Section 3.07, 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 investment of funds on deposit in an Investment Account by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator shall be documented in writing and shall provide evidence that such investment is a Permitted Investment which matures at or prior to the time required hereby or is payable on demand. In the case of any Escrow Account, Lock-Box Account, Cash Collateral Account or Reserve Account (the “Borrower Accounts” ), the Master Servicer shall act upon the written request of the related Borrower or Manager to the extent that the Master Servicer is required to do so under the terms of the respective Loan Documents, provided that in the absence of appropriate written instructions from the related Borrower or Manager meeting the requirements of this Section 3.07, the Master Servicer shall have no obligation to, but will be entitled to, direct the investment of funds in such accounts in Permitted Investments. 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) or in the name of a nominee of the Trustee. The Certificate Administrator shall have sole control (except with respect to investment direction which shall be in the control of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, with respect to any REO Accounts, 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 Certificate Administrator or its agent (which shall initially be the Master Servicer), together with any document of transfer, if any, necessary to transfer title to such investment to the Trustee or its nominee. Neither the Certificate Administrator nor the Trustee shall have any responsibility or liability with respect to the investment directions of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, any Borrower or Manager or any losses resulting therefrom, whether from Permitted Investments or otherwise. The Master Servicer shall have no responsibility or liability with respect to the investment directions of the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, any Borrower or Manager or any losses resulting therefrom, whether from Permitted Investments or otherwise. The Special Servicer shall have no responsibility or liability with respect to the investment directions of the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, any Borrower or Manager or any losses resulting therefrom, whether from Permitted Investments or otherwise. In the event amounts on deposit in 



    -207-


     

    

 

an Investment Account are at any time invested in a Permitted Investment payable on demand, the Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable) shall:

  

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

 

(y)        demand payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon determination by the Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator, 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 income and gain realized from investment of funds deposited in any Investment Account shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer (except with respect to the investment of funds deposited in (i) any Borrower Account, which shall be for the benefit of the related Borrower to the extent required under the related Loan Documents for the Mortgage Loan or applicable law, (ii) any REO Account and the Loss of Value Reserve Fund, which shall be for the benefit of the Special Servicer or (iii) the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account, the Chase Center Tower Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account, the Interest Reserve Account and the Distribution Accounts, which shall be for the benefit of the Certificate Administrator) and, if held in the Collection Account, any Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account, REO Account or Distribution Account shall be subject to withdrawal by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, in accordance with Section 3.06 or Section 3.15(b) of this Agreement, as applicable. The Master Servicer, or with respect to any REO Account or Loss of Value Reserve Fund, the Special Servicer, or with respect to the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account, the Chase Center Tower Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account or the Distribution Accounts, the Certificate Administrator, shall deposit from its own funds into the Collection Account, applicable Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account, any REO Account or Loss of Value Reserve Fund, the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account, the Chase Center Tower Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account, the Interest Reserve Account or the Distribution Accounts, as applicable, the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any such Permitted Investment immediately upon realization of such loss; provided that the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, may reduce the amount of such payment to the extent it forgoes any investment income in such Investment Account otherwise payable to it. The Master Servicer shall also deposit from its own funds in any Borrower Account immediately upon realization of such loss the amount of any loss incurred in respect of Permitted Investments, except to the extent that amounts are invested at the direction of or for the benefit of the Borrower under the terms of the related Loan Documents for the Mortgage Loan, Serviced Whole Loan or applicable law; provided that neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be required to deposit any loss on an investment of funds in an Investment Account if such loss is incurred solely as a result of the insolvency of the federal or state chartered depository institution or trust company that holds such Investment Account, so long as such depository institution or trust company has satisfied the qualifications set forth in the definition of Eligible Account both (x) at the time the investment was made and (y) 30 days prior to such insolvency.

(c)        Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Permitted Investment, or if a default occurs in any other performance required under any Permitted Investment, in either case as a result of an action or inaction of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, the Trustee may, and upon the request of Holders of Certificates entitled to a majority of the Voting Rights allocated to any Class shall, take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate proceedings. If the Trustee takes any such action, (i) the Master Servicer, if such Permitted Investment was for the benefit of the Master Servicer, (ii) the Special Servicer, if such Permitted Investment was for the benefit of the Special Servicer or (iii) the Certificate Administrator, if such Permitted Investment was for the benefit of the Certificate Administrator, shall pay or reimburse the Trustee for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in connection therewith.

 

Section 3.08    
Maintenance of Insurance Policies and Errors and Omissions and Fidelity Coverage. (a) In the case of each Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable (but excluding any REO Loan), the Master Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the related Borrower, with respect to the Serviced Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loans that it is servicing, to maintain the following insurance coverage (including identifying the extent to which such Borrower is maintaining insurance coverage and, if such Borrower does not so maintain, the Master Servicer will itself cause to be maintained with Qualified Insurers) for the related Mortgaged Property: (x) except where the Loan Documents permit a Borrower to rely on self-insurance provided by a tenant, a fire and casualty extended coverage insurance policy, which does not provide for reduction due to depreciation, in an amount that is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the full replacement cost of improvements securing such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, and (ii) the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, but, in any event, in an amount sufficient to avoid the application of any co-insurance clause and (y) all other insurance coverage (including, but not limited to, coverage for acts of terrorism) that is required, subject to applicable law, under the related Loan Documents; provided that: 

 

(i)         the Master Servicer shall not be required to maintain any earthquake or environmental insurance policy on any Mortgaged Property unless the Trustee has an insurable interest and (x) such insurance policy was in effect at the time of the origination of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, or (y) such insurance policy was required by the related Loan Documents and is available at commercially reasonable rates, provided that the Master Servicer shall require the related Borrower to maintain such insurance in the amount, in the case of clause (x), maintained at origination, and in the case of clause (y), required by such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, in each case, to the extent such amounts are available at commercially reasonable rates and to the extent the Trustee has an insurable interest;

 

(ii)        if and to the extent that any Loan Document grants the lender thereunder any discretion (by way of consent, approval or otherwise) as to the insurance provider from whom the related Borrower is to obtain the requisite insurance coverage, the Master



    -209-


     

    

 

Servicer shall (to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard) require the related Borrower to obtain the requisite insurance coverage from Qualified Insurers;

 

(iii)       the Master Servicer shall have no obligation beyond using its reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause any Borrower to maintain the insurance required to be maintained under the Loan Documents; provided that this clause shall not limit the Master Servicer’s obligation to obtain and maintain a force-placed insurance policy, as provided herein;

 

(iv)       except as provided below (including under clause (vi) below), in no event shall the Master Servicer be required to cause the Borrower to maintain, or itself obtain, insurance coverage to the extent that the failure of such Borrower to maintain insurance coverage is an Acceptable Insurance Default (as determined by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable);

 

(v)        to the extent that the Master Servicer itself is required to maintain insurance that the Borrower does not maintain, the Master Servicer will not be required to maintain insurance other than what is available to the Master Servicer on a force-placed basis at commercially reasonable rates, and only to the extent the Trust as lender has an insurable interest thereon; and

 

(vi)      any explicit terrorism insurance requirements contained in the related Loan Documents shall be enforced by the Master Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard (unless the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, with the consent of, if no Control Termination Event is continuing, the Directing Holder, and after consultation with the Risk Retention Consultation Parties pursuant to Section 6.07, has consented to a waiver (including a waiver to permit the Master Servicer to accept insurance that does not comply with specific requirements contained in the Loan Documents) in writing of that provision in accordance with the Servicing Standard); provided that the Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Special Servicer, or the Special Servicer shall promptly notify the Master Servicer, as applicable, in writing of such waiver.

 

With respect to each GSMC Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall not permit the related Borrower to maintain a “Non-Conforming Policy”  (as such term is defined in the related Loan Agreement) unless a Rating Agency Confirmation has been obtained.

 

The Master Servicer shall notify the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Directing Holder if the Master Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that a Borrower under a Serviced Mortgage Loan has failed to maintain insurance required under the Loan Documents and such failure materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders or if a Borrower under a Serviced Mortgage Loan has notified the Master Servicer in writing that the Borrower does not intend to maintain such insurance and that the Master Servicer has determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such failure materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders.

Subject to Section 3.15(b) of this Agreement, with respect to each Serviced REO Property, the Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts and only if the Trustee has an insurable interest, consistent with the Servicing Standard, to maintain (subject to the right of the Special Servicer to direct the Master Servicer to make a Servicing Advance for the costs associated with coverage that the Special Servicer determines to maintain, in which case the Master Servicer shall make such Servicing Advance) with Qualified Insurers to the extent reasonably available at commercially reasonable rates and to the extent the Trustee has an insurable interest, (a) a fire and casualty extended coverage insurance policy, which does not provide for reduction due to depreciation, in an amount that is at least equal to the lesser of the full replacement value of the Mortgaged Property or the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan, Serviced REO Loan or the Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable (or such greater amount of coverage required by the related Loan Documents (unless such amount is not available or, if no Control Termination Event is continuing, the Directing Holder has consented to a lower amount)), but, in any event, in an amount sufficient to avoid the application of any co-insurance clause, (b) a comprehensive general liability insurance policy with coverage comparable to that which would be required under prudent lending requirements and in an amount not less than $1.0 million per occurrence, and (c) to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard, a business interruption or rental loss insurance covering revenues or rents for a period of at least 12 months; provided that the Special Servicer shall not be required in any event to maintain or obtain insurance coverage described in this paragraph beyond what is reasonably available at a commercially reasonable rate and consistent with the Servicing Standard, and in no case will any such insurance be an expense of the Special Servicer.

 

All such insurance policies maintained as described above shall contain (if they insure against loss to property) a “standard”  mortgagee clause, with loss payable to the Master Servicer (on behalf of the Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders), or shall name the Trustee as the insured, with loss payable to the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trustee (on behalf of Certificateholders and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders) (in the case of insurance maintained in respect of an REO Property). Any amounts collected by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, under any such policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property or Serviced REO Property or amounts to be released to the related Borrower, in each case in accordance with the Servicing Standard) shall be deposited in the Collection Account (or, in the case of the Serviced Whole Loans, in the applicable Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account), subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.06 of this Agreement, in the case of amounts received in respect of a Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan, or in the applicable REO Account of the Special Servicer, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.15 of this Agreement, in the case of amounts received in respect of a Serviced REO Property. Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for purposes hereof, including calculating monthly distributions to Certificateholders or Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders, be added to the Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan so permit; provided that this sentence shall not limit the rights of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust Fund to enforce any obligations of the related Borrower under such Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan. Any costs incurred by the Master Servicer in maintaining any such



    -211-


     

    

 

insurance policies in respect of the Mortgage Loans or Specially Serviced Loans (other than REO Properties) (i) if the Borrower defaults on its obligation to do so, shall be advanced by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance and will be charged to the related Borrower and (ii) shall not, for purposes of calculating monthly distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit. Any cost incurred by the Special Servicer in maintaining any such insurance policies with respect to Serviced REO Properties shall be an expense of the Trust Fund (and in the case of any Serviced Whole Loan, such expense shall be allocated in accordance with the allocation provisions of the related Intercreditor Agreement) payable out of the related REO Account (or Serviced Whole Loan REO Account, as applicable) or, if the amount on deposit therein is insufficient therefor, advanced by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance (or paid from the Collection Account if the Master Servicer determines such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, subject to Section 3.21(d) of this Agreement).

 

(b)        If either:

 

(x) the Master Servicer or Special Servicer obtains and maintains, or causes to be obtained and maintained, a blanket policy or master force-placed policy insuring against hazard losses on all of the Serviced Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loans or Serviced REO Properties, as applicable, then, to the extent such policy

 

(i)     is obtained from a Qualified Insurer, and

 

(ii)    provides protection equivalent to the individual policies otherwise required, or

  

(y) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (or, in each case, its corporate parent), as applicable, has long-term unsecured debt obligations or deposit accounts that are rated not lower than “A2”  by Moody’s, “A-”  by Fitch and “A (low)”  by DBRS Morningstar (or, if not rated by DBRS Morningstar, an equivalent (or higher) rating by at least any one other NRSRO (which may include Moody’s and/or Fitch)) and the Master Servicer or Special Servicer self-insures for its obligation to maintain the individual policies otherwise required,

 

then the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligation to cause hazard insurance to be maintained on the related Mortgaged Properties or Serviced REO Properties, as applicable.

 

Such a blanket or master force-placed policy may contain a deductible clause (not in excess of a customary amount), in which case the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, that maintains such policy shall, if there shall not have been maintained on any Mortgaged Property securing a Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced REO Property thereunder a hazard insurance policy complying with the requirements of Section 3.08(a) of this Agreement, and there shall have been one or more losses that would have been covered by such an individual policy, promptly deposit into the Collection Account (or, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, in the related Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account), from its own funds, the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket or master force-placed policy in connection with such loss or losses because of such deductible clause to the extent that any such deductible exceeds the



    -212-


     

    

 

deductible limitation that pertained to the related Mortgage Loan or the related Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable (or, in the absence of any such deductible limitation, the deductible limitation for an individual policy which is consistent with the Servicing Standard). The Master Servicer and Special Servicer shall prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee, Certificateholders and, if applicable the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders, claims under any such blanket or master force-placed policy maintained by it in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy. If the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, causes any Mortgaged Property securing a Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced REO Property to be covered by such “force-placed”  insurance policy, the incremental costs of such insurance applicable to such Mortgaged Property or Serviced REO Property (i.e., other than any minimum or standby premium payable for such policy whether or not any Mortgaged Property or Serviced REO Property is covered thereby) shall be paid as a Servicing Advance.

 

(c)        With respect to each Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan that is subject to an Environmental Insurance Policy, if the Master Servicer has actual knowledge of any event giving rise to a claim under an Environmental Insurance Policy, the Master Servicer shall notify the Special Servicer to such effect and the Master Servicer shall take reasonable actions as are in accordance with the Servicing Standard and the terms and conditions of such Environmental Insurance Policy to make a claim thereunder and achieve the payment of all amounts to which the Trust is entitled thereunder. With respect to each Specially Serviced Loan and Serviced REO Property that is subject to an Environmental Insurance Policy, if the Special Servicer has actual knowledge of any event giving rise to a claim under an Environmental Insurance Policy, such Special Servicer shall take reasonable actions as are in accordance with the Servicing Standard and the terms and conditions of such Environmental Insurance Policy to make a claim thereunder and achieve the payment of all amounts to which the Trust, on behalf of the Certificateholders and, if applicable, the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders (giving due regard to the junior nature of the related Subordinate Companion Loan, if any), is entitled thereunder. Any legal fees or other out-of-pocket costs incurred in accordance with the Servicing Standard in connection with any claim under an Environmental Insurance Policy described above (whether by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer) shall be paid by, and reimbursable to, the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance.

  

(d)        The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall at all times during the term of this Agreement (or, in the case of the Special Servicer, at all times during the term of this Agreement during which Specially Serviced Loans and/or Serviced REO Properties as to which it is the Special Servicer are included in the Trust Fund) keep in force with a Qualified Insurer, a fidelity bond in such form and amount as are consistent with the Servicing Standard. The Master Servicer and Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be deemed to have complied with the foregoing provision if an Affiliate thereof has such fidelity bond coverage and, by the terms of such fidelity bond, the coverage afforded thereunder extends to the Master Servicer and Special Servicer, as the case may be. Such fidelity bond shall provide that it may not be canceled without ten days’ prior written notice to the Trustee. So long as the long-term unsecured debt obligations or deposit accounts of the Master Servicer (or its corporate parent if such insurance is guaranteed by its parent) or the Special Servicer (or its corporate parent), as applicable, are rated not lower than “A2”  by Moody’s, “A-”  by Fitch and “A (low)”  by DBRS Morningstar (or, if not rated by DBRS Morningstar, an equivalent (or higher) rating by at least any one other NRSRO (which may include Moody’s and/or Fitch)), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as



    -213-


     

    

 

applicable, may self-insure with respect to the fidelity bond coverage required as described above, in which case it shall not be required to maintain an insurance policy with respect to such coverage.

 

The Master Servicer and Special Servicer, as applicable, shall at all times during the term of this Agreement (or, in the case of the Special Servicer, at all times during the term of this Agreement during which Specially Serviced Loans and/or Serviced REO Properties exist as part of the Trust Fund) also keep in force with a Qualified Insurer a policy or policies of insurance covering loss occasioned by the errors and omissions of its officers and employees in connection with their servicing obligations hereunder, which policy or policies shall be in such form and amount as are consistent with the Servicing Standard. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be deemed to have complied with the foregoing provisions if an Affiliate thereof has such insurance and, by the terms of such policy or policies, the coverage afforded thereunder extends to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be. Any such errors and omissions policy shall provide that it may not be canceled without ten days’ prior written notice to the Trustee. So long as the long-term unsecured debt obligations or deposit accounts of the Master Servicer (or its corporate parent if such insurance is guaranteed by its parent) or the Special Servicer (or its corporate parent), as applicable, are rated not lower than “A2”  by Moody’s, “A-”  by Fitch and “A (low)”  by DBRS Morningstar (or, if not rated by DBRS Morningstar, an equivalent (or higher) rating by at least any one other NRSRO (which may include Moody’s and/or Fitch)), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may self-insure with respect to the errors and omissions coverage required as described above, in which case it shall not be required to maintain an insurance policy with respect to such coverage.

  

Section 3.09     Enforcement of Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements; Defeasance Provisions.

 

 (a) If any Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan contains a provision in the nature of a “due-on-sale”  clause (including, without limitation, sales or transfers of Mortgaged Properties (in full or part) or the sale, transfer, pledge or hypothecation of direct or indirect interests in the Borrower or its owners), which by its terms:

 

(i)         provides that such Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan will (or may at the mortgagee’s option) become due and payable upon the sale or other transfer of an interest in the related Mortgaged Property (including, without limitation, the sale, transfer, pledge or hypothecation of direct or indirect interests in the Borrower or its owners),

 

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

 

(iii)       provides that such Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan may be assumed or transferred without the consent of the mortgagee, provided certain conditions set forth in the Loan Documents are satisfied,

 

then, the Master Servicer (with respect to Performing Loans (other than Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans), to the extent such action is not a Special Servicer Major Decision) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and, to the extent such action is a Special Servicer Major Decision, Performing Loans (other than Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans)) shall



    -214-


     

    

 

determine, in each case in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard, on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, whether to (a) exercise any right it may have with respect to such Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan (x) to accelerate the payments thereon or (y) to grant or withhold its consent to any sale or transfer, consistent with the Servicing Standard or (b) waive any right to exercise such rights; provided that, (i) with respect to such consent or waiver of rights that is a Major Decision, prior to itself taking such an action, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall obtain, other than during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, the prior written consent (or deemed consent) of the Directing Holder pursuant to Section 6.07 (or (1) during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, but other than during a Consultation Termination Event and (2) other than with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan, upon consultation with the Directing Holder and the Risk Retention Consultation Parties pursuant to Section 6.07) and (ii) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer processing such action, prior to consenting to such action, shall obtain, a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to the Certificates and Serviced Companion Loan Securities, if any, in the case of any such Mortgage Loan that (1) represents more than 5% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans then outstanding and has a Stated Principal Balance of at least $10,000,000, (2) has a Stated Principal Balance that is more than $35,000,000, (3) represents one of the ten largest Mortgage Loans or groups of cross-collateralized Mortgage Loans based on Stated Principal Balance and has a Stated Principal Balance of at least $10,000,000, (4) is one of the Chase Center Tower Whole Loans or (5) is a Mortgage Loan as to which the related Serviced Companion Loan (A) represents one of the ten largest mortgage loans in the related Other Securitization based on outstanding principal balance and has an outstanding principal balance of at least $10,000,000, (B) represents more than 5% of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the mortgage loans then outstanding in the related Other Securitization and has an outstanding principal balance of at least $10,000,000 or (C) has an outstanding principal balance that is more than $35,000,000 (provided that the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be entitled to request and reasonably rely upon the written notification provided by the master servicer, special servicer, trustee or certificate administrator of the applicable Other Securitization as to whether any condition in clause (4)(A) or (B) is met, or if no timely response is received, entitled to reasonably rely on the most recent CREFC®  reports related to the applicable Other Securitization).

 

The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer processing such action shall notify the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Holder and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, that any such assumption or substitution agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Custodian (with a copy to the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Directing Holder, as applicable) the original copy of such agreement, which copies shall be added to the related Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof. To the extent not precluded by the Loan Documents, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall approve an assumption or substitution without requiring the related Borrower to pay any fees owed to the Rating Agencies associated with the approval of such assumption or substitution. However, if the related Borrower is required but fails to pay such fees, such fees shall be an expense of the Trust Fund (and in the case of any Serviced Whole Loan, such expense shall be allocated in accordance with the allocation provisions of the related Intercreditor Agreement); provided that in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan the Master Servicer shall be required, after receiving payment from



    -215-


     

    

 

amounts on deposit in the Collection Account, if any, to (i) promptly notify the holder of the related Companion Loan and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to exercise on behalf of the Trust Fund the rights of the Trust Fund under the related Intercreditor Agreement to obtain reimbursement for a pro rata portion of such amount allocable to the related Companion Loan from the holders of such Companion Loan.

 

(b)        If any Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan contains a provision in the nature of a “due-on-encumbrance”  clause, which by its terms:

 

(i)          provides that such Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan shall (or may at the mortgagee’s option) become due and payable upon the creation of any lien or other encumbrance on the related Mortgaged Property or any direct or indirect ownership interest in the borrower (including, unless specifically permitted, any mezzanine financing of the Borrower or the Mortgaged Property or any sale or transfer of preferred equity in the Borrower or its owners),

 

(ii)        requires the consent of the related mortgagee to the creation of any such lien or other encumbrance on the related Mortgaged Property (including, without limitation, any mezzanine financing of the Borrower or the Mortgaged Property or any sale or transfer of preferred equity in the Borrower or its owners), or

  

(iii)         provides that such Mortgaged Property may be further encumbered without the consent of the mortgagee (including, without limitation, any mezzanine financing of the Borrower or the Mortgaged Property or any sale or transfer of preferred equity in the Borrower or its owners), provided certain conditions set forth in the Loan Documents are satisfied,

 

then, the Master Servicer (with respect to Performing Loans (other than Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans), to the extent such action is not a Special Servicer Major Decision) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and, to the extent such action is a Special Servicer Major Decision, Performing Loans (other than Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans)) shall determine, in each case in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard, on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, whether to (a) exercise any right it may have with respect to such Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan (x) to accelerate the payments thereon or (y) to withhold its consent to the creation of any additional lien or other encumbrance, consistent with the Servicing Standard or (b) grant or waive its right to exercise such rights; provided that, (i) with respect to such consent or waiver of rights that is a Major Decision, prior to itself taking such an action, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall obtain, other than during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, the prior written consent (or deemed consent) of the Directing Holder pursuant to Section 6.07 (or (1) during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, but prior to a Consultation Termination Event and (2) other than with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan, upon consultation with the Directing Holder and the Risk Retention Consultation Parties pursuant to Section 6.07) and (ii) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer processing such action, prior to consenting to such action, shall obtain, a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to the Certificates and Serviced Companion Loan Securities, if any, in the case of any such Mortgage Loan that (1) represents more than 2% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans then outstanding, (2) has a Stated Principal Balance that is more than $35,000,000, (3) represents one



    -216-


     

    

 

of the ten largest Mortgage Loans or groups of cross-collateralized Mortgage Loans based on Stated Principal Balance, (4) has an aggregate loan-to-value ratio (including any existing and proposed additional debt) that is equal to or greater than 85%, (5) has an aggregate Debt Service Coverage Ratio (in each case, determined based upon the aggregate of the Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan, any existing additional debt and the principal amount of the proposed additional lien) that is less than 1.20x or (6) is a Mortgage Loan as to which the related Serviced Companion Loan (A) represents one of the ten largest mortgage loans in the related Other Securitization based on outstanding principal balance, (B) represents more than 2% of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the mortgage loans then outstanding in the related Other Securitization or (C) has an outstanding principal balance that is more than $35,000,000 (provided that the Special Servicer shall be entitled to request and reasonably rely upon the written notification provided by the master servicer, special servicer, trustee or certificate administrator of the applicable Other Securitization as to whether any condition in clause (6)(A) or (B) is met, or if no timely response is received, entitled to reasonably rely on the most recent CREFC®  reports related to the applicable Other Securitization); provided that with respect to clauses (1), (3), (4) and (5), such Mortgage Loan shall have a Stated Principal Balance of at least $10,000,000 for the requirement of a Rating Agency Confirmation to apply.

  

The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer processing such action shall notify the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Holder and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, that the creation of any lien or other encumbrance has been completed by forwarding to the Custodian (with a copy to the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Directing Holder, as applicable) the original copy (if available, and otherwise, a copy) of the document creating such lien or encumbrance, which copies shall be added to the related Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof. To the extent not precluded by the Loan Documents, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall approve the creation of any lien or other encumbrance without requiring the related Borrower to pay any fees owed to the Rating Agencies associated with the approval of such lien or encumbrance. However, if the related Borrower is required but fails to pay such fees, such fees shall be an expense of the Trust Fund (and in the case of any Serviced Whole Loan, such expense shall be allocated in accordance with the allocation provisions of the related Intercreditor Agreement); provided that in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan the Master Servicer shall be required, after receiving payment from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account, if any, to (i) promptly notify the holder of the related Companion Loan and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to exercise on behalf of the Trust Fund the rights of the Trust Fund under the related Intercreditor Agreement to obtain reimbursement for a pro rata portion of such amount allocable to the related Companion Loan from the holders of such Companion Loan.

 

(c)        Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer may waive its rights or grant its consent under any “due-on-sale”  or “due-on-encumbrance”  clause relating to any Mortgage Loan without, if no Control Termination Event is continuing, the consent of the Directing Holder. The Directing Holder shall have 10 Business Days (or longer period provided by the related Intercreditor Agreement) after receipt of notice along with the Special Servicer’s recommendation and analysis with respect to such waiver and any additional information the Directing Holder may reasonably



    -217-


     

    

 

request from the Special Servicer of a proposed waiver or consent under any “due-on-sale”  or “due-on-encumbrance”  clause in which to grant or withhold its consent (provided that if the Special Servicer fails to receive a response to such notice from the Directing Holder in writing within such period, then the Directing Holder shall be deemed to have consented to such proposed waiver or consent).

 

(d)        The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide copies of any waivers it effects pursuant to Section 3.09(a) or (b) of this Agreement to the other party, the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such waivers to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement) and the related Other 17g-5 Information Provider (if any) with respect to each Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan.

 

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

 

(f)         In connection with the taking of, or the failure to take, any action pursuant to this Section 3.09, the Special Servicer shall not agree to modify, waive or amend, and no assumption or substitution agreement entered into pursuant to Section 3.09(a) of this Agreement shall contain any terms that are different from, any term of any Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan or the related Mortgage Note, other than pursuant to Section 3.26 hereof, as applicable.

 

(g)        With respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan which permits release of Mortgaged Properties through defeasance:

 

(i)         Subject to the consent rights and processes set forth in Section 6.07 with respect to Major Decisions, the Master Servicer shall process all defeasances of Serviced Mortgage Loans and Serviced Companion Loans in accordance with the terms of the related Loan Documents, and shall be entitled to any defeasance fees paid relating thereto (provided that for the avoidance of doubt, any such defeasance fee shall not include the Special Servicer’s portion of any Modification Fees or waiver fees in connection with a defeasance that the Special Servicer is entitled to consent to under this Agreement).

 

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

 

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

 



    -218-


     

    

 

enforceable; such opinion, together with any other certificates or documents to be required in connection with such defeasance shall be in form and substance acceptable to each Rating Agency.

 

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

 

(v)        Prior to permitting the release of any Mortgaged Property through defeasance, the Master Servicer shall obtain, at the related Borrower’s expense, a Rating Agency Confirmation; provided that the Master Servicer shall not be required to obtain such Rating Agency Confirmation from any Rating Agency if such Mortgage Loan at the time of such defeasance is not (x) a Mortgage Loan that (together with any Mortgage Loans cross-collateralized with such Mortgage Loan) is one of the ten largest Mortgage Loans by Stated Principal Balance, (y) a Mortgage Loan with a Stated Principal Balance equal to or greater than $35,000,000 or (z) a Mortgage Loan that represents 5% or more of the Stated Principal Balance of all Mortgage Loans.

  

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

 

(vii)      No defeasance shall occur on or prior to the second anniversary of the Startup Day of the Trust REMICs, or in the case of any Companion Loan, the later of the second anniversary of the Startup Day of the Trust REMICs and the second anniversary of the startup day of any REMIC holding such Companion Loan.

 

(viii)     The Trustee shall at the expense of the related Borrower (to the extent not inconsistent with the related Loan Documents) hold the U.S. government securities as pledgee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and, if applicable, the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders, and the Certificate Administrator shall apply payments of principal and interest received on the government obligations to the Collection Account (or Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account) in respect of the defeased Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan according to the payment schedule existing immediately prior to the defeasance.

 

(ix)       The Master Servicer shall, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, enforce provisions in the Mortgage Loans that it is servicing requiring Borrowers to pay all reasonable expenses associated with a defeasance.



    -219-


     

    

 

(x)         To the extent not inconsistent with such Mortgage Loan, or to the extent the related Loan Documents provide the lender with discretion, the Master Servicer shall require a single purpose entity, formed solely for the purpose of owning and pledging the government securities related to one or more of the Mortgage Loans, to act as a successor borrower.

 

(xi)       The Master Servicer may accept as defeasance collateral of any “government security,”  within the meaning of Treasury Regulation’s Section 1.860G-(2)(a)(8)(ii), notwithstanding any more restrictive requirements in the Loan Documents; provided that the Master Servicer has received an Opinion of Counsel that acceptance of such defeasance collateral will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event.

 

(xii)       Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall charge a fee for defeasance in excess of that permitted under the Loan Documents in the event that the Loan Documents provide for such a fee limitation.

  

(h)        When the Special Servicer’s consent is requested under this Section 3.09, such consent shall be deemed given 15 Business Days (or such longer time period pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement but not less than five (5) Business Days after the time period set forth therein for Directing Holder approval) after receipt (unless earlier objected to) by the Special Servicer from the Master Servicer of the Master Servicer’s written analysis and recommendation with respect to such proposed action together with such other information reasonably requested by the Special Servicer.

 

Section 3.10     Appraisals; Realization upon Defaulted Loans.(a) Other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, contemporaneously with the earliest of (i) the effective date of any (A) modification of the Maturity Date or extended Maturity Date, a Mortgage Rate, principal balance or amortization terms of any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan or any other term of a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, (B) extension of the Maturity Date or extended Maturity Date of a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan as described below in Section 3.26 of this Agreement, or (C) consent to the release of any Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage other than pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, (ii) the occurrence of an Appraisal Reduction Event, (iii) a default in the payment of a Balloon Payment for which an extension is not granted, or (iv) the date on which the Special Servicer, consistent with the Servicing Standard, requests an Updated Valuation, the Special Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an Updated Valuation (or a letter update for an existing appraisal which is less than two years old) within 60 days of such request, the cost of which shall constitute a Servicing Advance; provided that the Special Servicer shall not be required to obtain an Updated Valuation pursuant to clauses (i) through (iv) above with respect to any Mortgaged Property for which there exists an Appraisal, Updated Appraisal or Small Loan Appraisal Estimate which is less than nine months old unless the Special Servicer has actual knowledge of a material adverse change in circumstances that, consistent with the Servicing Standard, would call into question the validity of such Appraisal, Updated Appraisal or Small Loan Appraisal Estimate. For so long as such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan, (i) the Special Servicer shall, within 30 days of the end of each 9-month period following the related Appraisal Reduction Event, use commercially reasonable efforts to order an Appraisal (which may be an update of a prior Appraisal), the cost of which shall constitute a Servicing Advance and (ii) the



    -220-


     

    

 

Master Servicer shall recalculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount prior to the Special Servicer granting extensions beyond one year or any subsequent extension after granting a one year extension with respect to the same Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan. Subject to any required consent from the Directing Holder and consultation with the Risk Retention Consultation Parties pursuant to Section 6.07, nothing herein is intended to limit the Special Servicer’s ability to pursue multiple strategies contemporaneously if the Special Servicer deems such actions appropriate under the Servicing Standard. The Special Servicer shall update, in accordance with the timing described above, each Small Loan Appraisal Estimate or Updated Appraisal for so long as an Appraisal Reduction Event exists with respect to the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan and the Master Servicer shall recalculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount based on such updated Small Loan Appraisal Estimate or Updated Appraisal and receipt of information reasonably requested by the Master Servicer from the Special Servicer to the extent such information is in the possession of (or reasonably obtainable at no additional expense by) the Special Servicer, reasonably necessary to calculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount. The Special Servicer shall send all such letter updates and Updated Valuations to the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such materials to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement), the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder (if any), the Risk Retention Consultation Parties and, for so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, the Directing Holder. 

 

The Special Servicer shall monitor each Specially Serviced Loan, evaluate whether the causes of the default can be corrected over a reasonable period without significant impairment of the value of the related Mortgaged Property, initiate corrective action in cooperation with the Borrower if, in the Special Servicer’s judgment, cure is likely, and take such other actions (including without limitation, negotiating and accepting a discounted payoff of a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan) as are consistent with the Servicing Standard. If, in the Special Servicer’s judgment, such corrective action has been unsuccessful, no satisfactory arrangement can be made for collection of delinquent payments, and the Specially Serviced Loan has not been released from the Trust Fund pursuant to any provision hereof, and except as otherwise specifically provided in Section 3.09(a) and 3.09(b) of this Agreement, the Special Servicer may, to the extent consistent with the Asset Status Report (and with the consent of the Directing Holder, if no Control Termination Event is continuing, and after consultation with each of the Risk Retention Consultation Parties pursuant to Section 6.07) and with the Servicing Standard, accelerate such Specially Serviced Loan and commence a foreclosure or other acquisition with respect to the related Mortgaged Property or Properties, provided that the Special Servicer determines that such acceleration and foreclosure are more likely to produce a greater recovery to Certificateholders and, if applicable, Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders, constituted a single lender) (and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan with a related Subordinate Companion Loan, taking into account the subordinate nature of such Subordinate Companion Loan) on a present value basis (discounting at the related Calculation Rate) than would a waiver of such default or an extension or modification in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.26 hereof. In connection with causing the Trust to foreclose on collateral that consists of multiple properties held for sale to customers by the related Borrower (such as unsold condominium units in a single project), the Special Servicer directing such foreclosure shall consider the effect of the bidding price for the properties on the tax basis of such properties



    -221-


     

    

 

if such properties are likely to be treated in the hands of the Trust as properties held for sale to customers. The Master Servicer shall pay the costs and expenses in any such proceedings as a Servicing Advance unless the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, determines, in its good faith judgment, that such Servicing Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance; provided that, if such Servicing Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance but the Special Servicer determines that such payment would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, if applicable, Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders, as applicable, constituted a single lender (and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan with a related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan, taking into account the subordinate nature of such Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan)) (with the Master Servicer permitted to conclusively rely upon any such determination by the Special Servicer), the Special Servicer shall direct the Master Servicer to make such payment from the Collection Account (or, if applicable, the applicable Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account), which payment shall be an Additional Trust Fund Expense. The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon any determination of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer that a Servicing Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. If the Master Servicer does not make such Servicing Advance in violation of the second preceding sentence, the Trustee shall make such Servicing Advance, unless the Trustee determines that such Servicing Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The Master Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement of Servicing Advances (with interest at the Reimbursement Rate) made pursuant to this paragraph to the extent permitted by Section 3.06 of this Agreement.

 

(b)        If the Special Servicer elects to proceed with a non-judicial foreclosure in accordance with the laws of the state where the Mortgaged Property is located, the Special Servicer shall not be required to pursue a deficiency judgment against the related Borrower or any other liable party if (i) the laws of the state do not permit such a deficiency judgment after a non-judicial foreclosure or (ii) if the Special Servicer determines, in its best judgment, that the likely recovery if a deficiency judgment is obtained will not be sufficient to warrant the cost, time, expense and/or exposure of pursuing the deficiency judgment and such determination is evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator.

 

(c)        In the event that title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be issued to the Trustee (on behalf of the Trust Fund), or to its nominee (which shall not include the Special Servicer) or a separate Trustee or co-Trustee on behalf of the Trustee as Holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and the Certificateholders and, if applicable, the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders. Notwithstanding any such acquisition of title and cancellation of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, shall (except for purposes of Section 9.01 of this Agreement) be considered to be a Serviced REO Loan until such time as the related Serviced REO Property shall be sold by the Trust Fund and shall be reduced only by collections net of expenses. Consistent with the foregoing, for purposes of all calculations hereunder, so long as such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, shall be considered to be an outstanding Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable:

 



    -222-


     

    

 

(i)         it shall be assumed that, notwithstanding that the indebtedness evidenced by the related Mortgage Note shall have been discharged, such Mortgage Note and, for purposes of determining the Stated Principal Balance thereof, the related amortization schedule in effect at the time of any such acquisition of title shall remain in effect; and

 

(ii)        subject to Section 1.02(g) of this Agreement, Net REO Proceeds received in any month shall be applied to amounts that would have been payable under the related Mortgage Note(s) in accordance with the terms of such Mortgage Note(s) and any applicable Intercreditor Agreement. In the absence of such terms, Net REO Proceeds shall, subject to Section 1.02(g) of this Agreement, be deemed to have been received first, in payment of the accrued interest that remained unpaid on the date that the related Serviced REO Property was acquired by the Trust Fund; second, in respect of the delinquent principal installments that remained unpaid on such date; and thereafter, Net REO Proceeds received in any month shall be applied to the payment of installments of principal and accrued interest on such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable, deemed to be due and payable in accordance with the terms of such Mortgage Note(s) and such amortization schedule until such principal has been paid in full and then to other amounts due under such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable. If such Net REO Proceeds exceed the Periodic Payment then payable, the excess shall be treated as a Principal Prepayment received in respect of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable.

  

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

 

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

 

(ii)        the Special Servicer shall have requested and received an Opinion of Counsel (which opinion shall be an expense of the Lower-Tier REMIC) to the effect that the holding of such personal property by the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan REMIC will not cause the imposition of a tax on any Trust REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate 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).

 

(e)        Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall not, on behalf of the Trust Fund, obtain title to any direct or indirect partnership interest or other equity interest in any Borrower pledged pursuant to any pledge agreement unless the Special Servicer shall have requested and received an Opinion of Counsel (which opinion shall be an expense of the Trust Fund (and in the case of any Serviced Whole Loan, such expense shall be allocated in accordance with the allocation provisions of the related Intercreditor Agreement)) to the effect that the holding of such partnership interest or other



    -223-


     

    

 

equity interest by the Trust Fund will not cause the imposition of a tax on any Trust REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding. 

 

(f)         Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall not cause the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust Fund, to obtain title to a Mortgaged Property as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, to obtain title to any direct or indirect partnership interest in any Borrower pledged pursuant to a pledge agreement and thereby be the beneficial owner of a Mortgaged Property, have a receiver of rents appointed with respect to, and shall not otherwise cause the Trustee to acquire possession of, or take any other action with respect to, any Mortgaged Property if, as a result of any such action, the Trustee, for the Trust Fund, the Certificateholders and the RR Interest Owner (including the holders of the Loan-Specific Certificates) or Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders, if applicable, would be considered to hold title to, to be a “mortgagee-in-possession”  of, or to be an “owner”  or “operator”  of such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended from time to time, or any comparable law, unless the Special Servicer has previously determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard, based on an updated environmental assessment report prepared by an Independent Person who regularly conducts environmental audits (which report shall be an expense of the Trust), performed within six months prior to any such acquisition of title or other action that:

 

(i)         such Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable environmental laws or, if not, after consultation with an environmental consultant, that it would be in the best economic interests of the Certificateholders and the RR Interest Owner (and with respect to the Serviced Whole Loans, the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders), as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and RR Interest Owner and, if applicable, Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders constituted a single lender (and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan with a related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan, taking into account the subordinate nature of such Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan), to take such actions as are necessary to bring such Mortgaged Property in compliance therewith, and

 

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



    -224-


     

    

 

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

  

(g)        The environmental assessment contemplated by Section 3.10(f) of this Agreement shall be prepared within three months (or as soon thereafter as practicable) of the determination that such assessment is required by any Independent Person who regularly conducts environmental audits for purchasers of commercial property where the Mortgaged Property is located, as determined by the Special Servicer in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard. Upon the written direction of the Special Servicer and delivery by the Special Servicer to the Master Servicer of pertinent back-up information the Master Servicer shall advance the cost of preparation of such environmental assessments as a Servicing Advance unless the Master Servicer determines, in its good faith judgment, that such Servicing Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of Servicing Advances (with interest at the Reimbursement Rate) made pursuant to the preceding sentence to the extent permitted by Section 3.06. The Special Servicer shall provide written reports and a copy of any environmental assessments in electronic format to the Directing Holder (if no Consultation Termination Event is continuing), the Risk Retention Consultation Parties, the Master Servicer, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder (if any) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such materials to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement), monthly regarding any actions taken by the Special Servicer with respect to any Mortgaged Property securing a Defaulted Loan or defaulted Serviced Companion Loan as to which the environmental testing contemplated by Section 3.10(f) of this Agreement has revealed that either of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of the first sentence thereof has not been satisfied, in each case until the earlier to occur of (i) satisfaction of both such conditions, (ii) repurchase of the related Mortgage Loan by the Mortgage Loan Seller or (iii) release of the lien of the related Mortgage on such Mortgaged Property.

 

(h)       
If the Special Servicer determines pursuant to Section 3.10(f)(i) of this
Agreement that a Mortgaged Property is not in compliance with applicable environmental laws but that it is in the best
economic interest of the Trust Fund (and with respect to the Serviced Whole Loans, the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders),
as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders constituted a
single lender (and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan with a related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan, taking into account the subordinate nature of such Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan), to take such actions as are necessary to bring such Mortgaged Property in compliance therewith, or if the Special Servicer determines pursuant to Section 3.10(f)(ii) of this Agreement that the circumstances referred to therein relating to Hazardous Materials are present but that it is in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund (and with respect to the Serviced Whole Loans, the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders), as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders constituted a single 



    -225-


     

    

 

lender (and with respect
to any Serviced Whole Loan with a related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan, taking into account the subordinate nature of such
Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan), to take such action with respect to the containment, clean-up or remediation of Hazardous
Materials affecting such Mortgaged Property as is required by law or regulation, the Special Servicer shall (with the consent
of the Directing Holder (if no Control Termination Event is continuing) and after consultation with the Risk Retention Consultation
Parties pursuant to Section 6.07) take such action as it deems to be in the best economic
interest of the Trust Fund (and with respect to the Serviced Whole Loans, the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders), as a collective
whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders constituted a single lender (and with
respect to any Serviced Whole Loan with a related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan, taking into account the subordinate nature
of such Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan), but only if the Certificate Administrator has mailed notice to the Holders of the
Pooled Regular Certificates, the Loan-Specific Certificateholders (in the case of the Chase Center Tower Mortgaged Property),
the VRR Interest Owners and the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders of such proposed action, which notice shall be prepared
by the Special Servicer, and only if the Certificate Administrator does not receive, within 30 days of such notification, instructions
from the Holders of Pooled Regular Certificates and the Loan-Specific Certificateholders (in the case of the Chase Center Tower
Mortgage Property) and the VRR Interest Owners entitled to a majority of the Voting Rights and, with respect to Serviced Whole
Loans, the applicable Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders directing the Special Servicer not to take such action. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the Special Servicer reasonably determines that it is likely that within such 30-day period irreparable environmental
harm to such Mortgaged Property would result from the presence of such Hazardous Materials and provides a prior written statement
to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator setting forth the basis for such determination, then the Special Servicer may
take or cause to be taken such action to remedy such condition as may be consistent with the Servicing Standard. None of the Trustee,
the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be obligated to take any action or not take any
action pursuant to this Section 3.10(g) at the direction of the Certificateholders or with respect to any Serviced Whole
Loan, at the direction of the Certificateholders and the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders unless the Certificateholders
and, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan, the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders agree to indemnify the Trustee, the
Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer with respect to such action or inaction. The Master Servicer
shall advance the cost of any such compliance, containment, clean-up or remediation as a Servicing Advance unless the Master Servicer
determines, in its good faith judgment, that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.

 

(i)         The Special Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer of any Mortgaged Property (other than a Mortgaged Property securing a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) which is abandoned or foreclosed that requires reporting to the IRS and shall provide the Master Servicer with all information regarding forgiveness of indebtedness and required to be reported with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan which is abandoned or foreclosed and the Master Servicer shall report to the IRS and the related Borrower, in the manner required by applicable law, such information and the Master Servicer shall report, via Form 1099C or Form 1099A, all forgiveness of indebtedness to the extent such information has been provided to the Master Servicer by the Special Servicer. The Master Servicer shall deliver a copy of any such report to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator.

(j)         The costs of any Updated Valuation obtained pursuant to this Section 3.10 shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance and shall be reimbursable from the Collection Account or, with respect to the Serviced Whole Loans, first, from the applicable Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account and second, to the extent amounts in the Serviced Whole Loan Collection Accounts are insufficient therefor, from the Collection Account in accordance with Section 3.06(a); provided that the Master Servicer shall, after receiving payment from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account, if any, (i) promptly notify the related Companion Loan Noteholder and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to exercise on behalf of the Trust any rights under the related Intercreditor Agreement to obtain reimbursement for a pro rata portion of such amount allocable to the related Serviced Companion Loans from the related Companion Loan Noteholders. 

 

Section 3.11     Custodian to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files. Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, or the receipt by the Master Servicer of a notification that payment in full has been escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Master Servicer shall immediately notify the Custodian by a certification (which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in the Collection Account or the applicable Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account, as applicable, pursuant to Section 3.05 of this Agreement have been or will be so deposited) of a Servicing Officer and shall request delivery to it of the related Mortgage File. Any expense incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance that is not paid by the related Borrower shall be chargeable to the Trust Fund. The Master Servicer agrees to use reasonable efforts in accordance with the Servicing Standard to enforce any provision in the relevant Loan Documents that require the Borrower to pay such amounts. No expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be an expense of the Custodian.

 

From time to time upon request of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer and delivery to the Custodian of a Request for Release, the Custodian shall promptly release the Mortgage File (or any portion thereof) designated in such Request for Release to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable. Upon return of the foregoing to the Custodian, or in the event of a liquidation or conversion of the Mortgage Loan or the Serviced Whole Loan into a Serviced REO Property, or in the event of a substitution of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.03 of this Agreement, or receipt by the Custodian of a certificate of a Servicing Officer stating that such Mortgaged Property was liquidated and that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such liquidation which are required to be deposited into the Collection Account or the applicable Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account, as applicable, have been so deposited, or that such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan has become a Serviced REO Property, or that the Master Servicer has received a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan and the applicable Substitution Shortfall Amount, the Custodian shall deliver a copy of the Request for Release to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable. If from time to time, pursuant to the terms of the applicable Intercreditor Agreement or Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and as appropriate for enforcing the terms of the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Other Servicer or the Other Special Servicer requests delivery to it of the original Mortgage Note by providing the Trustee and the Custodian a Request for Release, then the Custodian shall release or cause the release of such original Mortgage Note to the Other Servicer or the Other Special Servicer or its designee.

Within five (5) Business Days (or, in case of an emergency, within such shorter period as is reasonable under the circumstances) after receipt of a written certification of a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Master Servicer (with respect to Performing Loans) and the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and REO Loans) any court pleadings, requests for a trustee’s sale or other documents prepared by the Special Servicer, its agents or attorneys, necessary to the foreclosure or trustee’s sale in respect of a Mortgaged Property or to any legal action brought to obtain judgment against any Borrower on the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in equity. Each such certification shall include a request that such pleadings or documents be executed by the Trustee and a statement as to the reason such documents or pleadings are required, that the proposed action is consistent with the Servicing Standard and that the execution and delivery thereof by the Trustee will not invalidate or otherwise affect the lien of the Mortgage, except for the termination of such a lien upon completion of the foreclosure or trustee’s sale.

 

With respect to each Servicing Shift Whole Loan, on and after the related Servicing Shift Securitization Date, if pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement and the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and as appropriate for enforcing the terms of such Servicing Shift Whole Loan, as applicable, the related Other Servicer requests in writing delivery to it of the related original Note, then the Custodian shall release or cause the release of such related original Note to the related Other Servicer or its designee.

 

Section 3.12     Servicing Fees, Certificate Administrator/Trustee Fees and Special Servicing Compensation. (a) As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee with respect to each Mortgage Loan and Serviced Companion Loan. The Master Servicer’s rights to the Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of all of the Master Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement or as provided in the second succeeding paragraph with respect to the Excess Servicing Fee.

 

In addition, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive, as additional Servicing Compensation, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law and the related Loan Documents and any related Intercreditor Agreement, (i) all investment income earned on amounts on deposit in the Collection Account (and with respect to each Serviced Whole Loan, the related Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account) and certain Reserve Accounts (to the extent consistent with the related Loan Documents); (ii) any Net Default Interest and any other Penalty Charges collected by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer during a Collection Period accrued on any Performing Loan (and the related Serviced Companion Loan, if applicable), in each case, remaining after application thereof during such Collection Period to pay the Advance Interest Amount relating to such Performing Loan and to pay or reimburse the Trust for any unreimbursed Additional Trust Fund Expenses (including Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees and Liquidation Fees) relating to such Performing Loan incurred during or prior to such Collection Period, and, in the case of the Serviced Whole Loans, to the extent allocated to the related Mortgage Loan in the related Intercreditor Agreement and as further described in Section 3.12(d); (iii) any amounts collected for checks returned for insufficient funds (with respect to any Performing Loan or Specially Serviced Loan); and (iv) 100% of any Modification

Except as specified in the preceding sentence and except with respect to clause (i) in this paragraph, the Master Servicer will not be entitled to the compensation set forth in clauses (iii) and (iv) in this paragraph with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer will each be entitled to charge the related Borrower reasonable review fees in connection with any borrower request to the extent such fees are not prohibited under the related Loan Documents and are actually paid by or on behalf of the related Borrower.

 

With respect to any of the preceding fees as to which both the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer are entitled to receive a portion thereof, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each have the right, in their sole discretion, but not any obligation, to



    -229-

If the Master Servicer decides not to charge any fee, the Special Servicer shall nevertheless be entitled to charge its portion of the related fee to which the Special Servicer would have been entitled if the Master Servicer had charged a fee and the Master Servicer shall not be entitled to any of such fee charged by the Special Servicer.

  

The Master Servicer and any successor holder of the Excess Servicing Fee Rights that relate to the Mortgage Loans (and any successor REO Loans with respect to such Mortgage Loans) shall be entitled, at any time, at its own expense, to transfer, sell, pledge or otherwise assign such Excess Servicing Fee Rights in whole (but not in part), in either case, to any Qualified Institutional Buyer or Institutional Accredited Investor (other than a Plan); provided that no such transfer, sale, pledge or other assignment shall be made unless (i) that transfer, sale, pledge or other assignment is exempt from the registration and/or qualification requirements of the 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 AA-1 hereto and (iii) the prospective transferee shall have delivered to the Master Servicer and the Depositor a certificate substantially in the form attached as Exhibit AA-2 hereto.

The Master Servicer and each holder of an Excess Servicing Fee Right desiring to effect a transfer, sale, pledge or other assignment of such Excess Servicing Fee Right shall, and the Master Servicer hereby agrees, and each such holder of an Excess Servicing Fee Right by its acceptance of such Excess Servicing Fee Right shall be deemed to have agreed, in connection with any transfer of such Excess Servicing Fee Right effected by such Person, to indemnify the Certificateholders, the Trust, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Registrar and the Special Servicer against any liability that may result if such transfer is not exempt from registration and/or qualification under the Act or other applicable federal and state securities laws or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws or in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this paragraph.

provided by such holder in writing to the Master Servicer.

None of the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Depositor, the Special Servicer or the Trustee shall have any obligation whatsoever regarding payment of the Excess Servicing Fee or the assignment or transfer of the Excess Servicing Fee Right.

The Certificate Administrator shall pay the Trustee the Trustee’s portion of the Certificate Administrator/Trustee Fee. The Certificate Administrator’s rights to the Certificate Administrator/Trustee Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of all of its responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer will each be entitled to charge the related Borrower reasonable review fees in connection with any borrower request.

 

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

 

Except as otherwise provided herein, the Special Servicer shall pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder, including all fees of any sub-servicers retained by it.

 

In addition, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to the portion of Net Default Interest and any other Penalty Charges collected by the Other Special Servicer servicing the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and that are allocated to such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan remaining after application thereof during such Collection Period to pay the Advance Interest Amount relating to such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and any unreimbursed Additional Trust Fund Expenses (including Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees and Liquidation Fees) incurred during or prior to such Collection Period on such related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan (but not nonsufficient funds check fees and similar fees, which shall be paid to the Master Servicer) as provided in this Agreement. Except as specified in the preceding sentence, the Special Servicer will not be entitled to the compensation set forth in this Section 3.12(b) with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan.

 

(c)        In addition, a Workout Fee will be payable to the Special Servicer with respect to each Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan that ceases to be a Specially Serviced Loan pursuant to the definition thereof. As to each such Mortgage



    -232-


     

    

 

Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, the Workout Fee will be payable out of each collection of interest and principal (including scheduled payments, prepayments, Balloon Payments and payments at maturity) received on such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan for so long as it remains a Corrected Mortgage Loan. The Workout Fee with respect to any such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan will cease to be payable if such loan again becomes a Specially Serviced Loan or if the related Mortgaged Property becomes a Serviced REO Property; provided that a new Workout Fee will become payable if and when such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loans again ceases to be a Specially Serviced Loan. If the Special Servicer is terminated (other than for cause) or resigns with respect to any or all of its servicing duties, it shall retain the right to receive any and all Workout Fees payable with respect to the Mortgage Loans that cease to be a Specially Serviced Loan during the period that it had responsibility for servicing such Specially Serviced Loan (or for any Specially Serviced Loan that had not yet become a Corrected Mortgage Loan because as of the time that the Special Servicer is terminated the borrower has not made three consecutive monthly debt service payments and subsequently the Specially Serviced Loan becomes a Corrected Mortgage Loan) at the time of such termination or resignation (and the successor Special Servicer shall not be entitled to any portion of such Workout Fees), in each case until the Workout Fee for any such loan ceases to be payable in accordance with the preceding sentence.

 

A Liquidation Fee will be payable to the Special Servicer, except as described below, with respect to (i) each Mortgage Loan repurchased by a Mortgage Loan Seller after the Initial Resolution Period (and giving effect to any Resolution Extension Period) in accordance with Section 2.03(e) of this Agreement or that is subject to a Loss of Value Payment, (ii) each Specially Serviced Loan as to which the Special Servicer obtains a full, partial or discounted payoff from the related Borrower, (iii) any Specially Serviced Loan or Serviced REO Property as to which the Special Servicer recovered any Liquidation Proceeds and (iv) each Defaulted Loan that is a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan sold by the Special Servicer in accordance with the proviso in Section 3.16(b) of this Agreement as to which the Special Servicer recovered any Liquidation Proceeds; provided, however, for clarification, in the case of clause (iv), should the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan be sold by the Other Special Servicer, then the Liquidation Fee shall be paid to such Other Special Servicer. As to each such Mortgage Loan repurchased by a Mortgage Loan Seller after the Initial Resolution Period (and giving effect to any Resolution Extension Period) in accordance with Section 2.03(e) of this Agreement or Specially Serviced Loan and Serviced REO Property, the Liquidation Fee will be payable from the related payment or proceeds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary described above, no Liquidation Fee will be payable based on, or out of, Liquidation Proceeds to the extent set forth in the definition of “Liquidation Fee”  herein. With respect to any future mezzanine debt, to the extent not prohibited by the Loan Documents, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall require that the related mezzanine intercreditor agreement provide that if a Mortgage Loan is purchased by the related mezzanine lender on a date that is more than 90 days following the date that the related option first becomes exercisable, such mezzanine lender shall be required to pay a Liquidation Fee equal to the amount that the Special Servicer would otherwise be entitled to under this Agreement with respect to a liquidation of such Mortgage Loan (provided that such Liquidation Fee shall in all circumstances be payable by the related mezzanine lender and shall not, under any circumstances, be payable out of the Trust unless the Master Servicer fails to require the related mezzanine intercreditor agreement to require the mezzanine lender to pay such amounts in breach of its obligation to do so under this paragraph). If Liquidation Proceeds



    -233-


     

    

 

are received with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan as to which the Special Servicer is properly entitled to a Workout Fee, such Workout Fee will be payable based on and out of the portion of such Liquidation Proceeds that constitute principal and/or interest. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Special Servicer shall only be entitled to receive a Liquidation Fee or a Workout Fee, but not both, with respect to Liquidation Proceeds received on any Mortgage Loan or any Specially Serviced Loan. If (i) the Special Servicer resigns or has been terminated, and (ii) either prior or subsequent to such resignation or termination, either (A) a Specially Serviced Loan was liquidated or modified pursuant to an action plan submitted by the initial Special Servicer and approved (or deemed approved) by the Directing Holder or the Special Servicer has determined to grant a forbearance, or (B) a Specially Serviced Loan being monitored by the Special Servicer subsequently became a Corrected Mortgage Loan, then in either such event the Special Servicer shall be paid the related Workout Fee or Liquidation Fee, as applicable.

  

The total amount of Workout Fees and Liquidation Fees that are payable by the Trust with respect to each Mortgage Loan, Serviced Whole Loan or Serviced REO Loan through the period such Mortgage Loan is an asset of the Trust shall be subject to an aggregate cap of $1,000,000. For the purposes of determining whether any such cap has been reached with respect to a Special Servicer and a Mortgage Loan, Serviced Whole Loan or Serviced REO Loan, only the Workout Fees and Liquidation Fees paid to such Special Servicer with respect to such Mortgage Loan, Serviced Whole Loan or Serviced REO Loan shall be taken into account, and any Workout Fees or Liquidation Fees for any other Mortgage Loans, Serviced Whole Loans or Serviced REO Loans shall not be taken into account (and any Workout Fees or Liquidation Fees paid to a predecessor or successor special servicer or Other Special Servicer shall also not be taken into account).

 

The Special Servicer shall be required to pay out of its own funds all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder (including, without limitation, any amounts, other than management fees in respect of REO Properties, due and owing to any of its sub-servicers, any amounts due and owing to any of its Affiliates, and the premiums for any blanket insurance policy obtained by it insuring against hazard losses pursuant to Section 3.08 of this Agreement, except to the extent such premiums are reimbursable pursuant to Section 3.08 of this Agreement), if and to the extent such expenses are not expressly payable directly out of the Collection Account or if a Serviced Whole Loan is involved, the applicable Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account or the applicable REO Account or as a Servicing Advance, and the Special Servicer shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

 

The Special Servicer and its Affiliates shall be prohibited from receiving or retaining any compensation or any other remuneration (including, without limitation, in the form of commissions, brokerage fees, rebates, or as a result of any other fee-sharing arrangement) from any Person (including, without limitation, the Trust, any Borrower, any Manager, any guarantor or indemnitor in respect of a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan and any purchaser of any Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan or REO Property) in connection with the disposition, workout or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, the management or disposition of any REO Property, or the performance of any other special



    -234-


     

    

 

servicing duties under this Agreement, other than as expressly provided in this Section 3.12; provided that such prohibition shall not apply to Permitted Special Servicer/Affiliate Fees.

  

(d)        In determining the compensation of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, with respect to Penalty Charges, on any Distribution Date, the aggregate Penalty Charges collected on any Mortgage Loan or, unless prohibited by the related Intercreditor Agreement to be so applied, any Serviced Companion Loan, during the related Collection Period shall be applied (as between Default Interest and late payment charges, in the priority set forth in the definition of “Advance Interest Amount” ) to reimburse (i) the Master Servicer or the Trustee for interest on Advances at the Reimbursement Rate with respect to such Mortgage Loan that accrued in the period that such Penalty Charges were collected and advance interest to any related Serviced Companion Loan Service Provider for any debt service advance made by such party with respect to any related Serviced Companion Loan that accrued in the period that such Penalty Charges were collected, (ii) the Trust Fund for all interest on Advances with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan previously paid to the Master Servicer, the Trustee or to any Serviced Companion Loan Service Provider pursuant to Section 3.06(a)(vi) or Section 3.06(b)(vi) of this Agreement and (iii) the Trust Fund for any Additional Trust Fund Expenses (including Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees and Liquidation Fees) with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan paid in or prior to the Collection Period that such Penalty Charges were collected and not previously paid out of Penalty Charges, and any Penalty Charges remaining thereafter shall be distributed pro rata to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer based upon the amount of Penalty Charges the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer would otherwise have been entitled to receive during such period with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan without any such application. Except as set forth in this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall not be entitled to any Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees or Liquidation Fees with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan or any related REO Property. For the avoidance of doubt, the portion of Penalty Charges allocated to a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Non-Serviced Whole Loan (in accordance with the applicable Intercreditor Agreement and, if applicable, the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement) shall be allocated in accordance with clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above (except that, Advances in clauses (i) and (ii) shall mean P&I Advances).

 

If any Servicing Shift Whole Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan prior to the related Servicing Shift Securitization Date, the Special Servicer shall service and administer such Servicing Shift Whole Loan and any related REO Property in the same manner as any other Specially Serviced Loan or Serviced REO Property and shall be entitled to all rights and compensation earned with respect to such Serviced Whole Loan as Special Servicer of such Serviced Whole Loan. With respect to any Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan, prior to the related Servicing Shift Securitization Date, no other special servicer will be entitled to any such compensation or have such rights and obligations. If such Servicing Shift Whole Loan is still a Specially Serviced Loan on the related Servicing Shift Securitization Date, the Other Special Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to compensation with respect to such Servicing Shift Whole Loan as if the Special Servicer were being terminated as the Special Servicer with respect to such Servicing Shift Whole Loan and the Other Special Servicer were replacing the Special Servicer as the successor Special Servicer with respect to such Servicing Shift Whole Loan.



    -235-


     

    

  

If any Servicing Shift Whole Loan is being specially serviced on the related Servicing Shift Securitization Date, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to compensation for the period during which it acted as Special Servicer with respect to such Servicing Shift Whole Loan, including its share of any liquidation or workout fees and any additional servicing compensation as well as all surviving indemnity and other rights in respect of such special servicing role under this Agreement.

 

(e)        The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Trust Fund (and, prior to recovery from the Trust Fund, in the case of any Serviced Whole Loans, subject to the related Intercreditor Agreement, first, from the related Subordinate Companion Loan up to the full principal balance thereof, if any, and second, to the extent any such costs and expenses remain unreimbursed, from the related Mortgage Loan and the Collection Account, or in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan with a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, first, out of the related Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account from collections on the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan and the related Mortgage Loan on a pro rata basis by principal balance, and second, to the extent any such costs and expenses remain unreimbursed, out of the Collection Account) for the costs and expenses incurred by them in the performance of their duties under this Agreement which are “unanticipated expenses incurred by the REMIC”  within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(iii). Such expenses shall include, by way of example and not by way of limitation, environmental assessments, Updated Appraisals and appraisals in connection with foreclosure, the fees and expenses of any administrative or judicial proceeding and expenses expressly identified as reimbursable in Section 3.06(a)(xv) of this Agreement. All such costs and expenses shall be treated as costs and expenses of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the related Serviced Whole Loan, if applicable.

 

(f)         No provision of this Agreement or of the Certificates shall require the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee to expend or risk their own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of their duties hereunder or thereunder, or in the exercise of any of their rights or powers, if, in the good faith business judgment of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as the case may be, repayment of such funds would not be ultimately recoverable from late payments, Net Insurance Proceeds, Net Liquidation Proceeds and other collections on or in respect of the Mortgage Loans, or from adequate indemnity from other assets comprising the Trust Fund against such risk or liability.

 

If the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee receives a request or inquiry from a Borrower, any Certificateholder or any other Person the response to which would, in the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s, the Certificate Administrator’s or the Trustee’s good faith business judgment require the assistance of Independent legal counsel or other consultant to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, the cost of which would not be an expense of the Trust Fund or any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder hereunder, then the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall not be required to take any action in response to such request or inquiry unless such Borrower, such Certificateholder, or such other Person, as applicable, makes arrangements for the payment of the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s, the Certificate Administrator’s or the Trustee’s



    -236-


     

    

 

reasonable expenses associated with such counsel (including, without limitation, posting an advance payment for such expenses) satisfactory to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as the case may be, in its sole discretion. Unless such arrangements have been made, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall have no liability to any Person for the failure to respond to such request or inquiry.

(g)        None of the foregoing restrictions in this Section 3.14 or otherwise in this Agreement shall prohibit or restrict oral or written communications, or providing information, between the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, on the one hand, and any Rating Agency or NRSRO, on the other hand, with regard to (i) such Rating Agency’s or NRSRO’s review of the ratings it assigns to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, (ii) such Rating Agency’s or NRSRO’s approval of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, as a commercial mortgage master, special or primary servicer or (iii) such Rating Agency’s or NRSRO’s evaluation of the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as applicable, servicing operations in general; provided that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall not provide any information relating to the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans to any Rating Agency or NRSRO in connection with such review and evaluation by such Rating Agency or NRSRO unless (x) Borrower, property and other deal specific identifiers are redacted;

(y) such information has already been provided to the 17g-5 Information Provider and has been uploaded on to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website or the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, has in fact provided such information to such Rating Agency in accordance with Section 3.14(e); or (z) the Rating Agency confirms in writing that it does not intend to use such information in undertaking credit rating surveillance with respect to the Certificates; provided, however, that the Rating Agencies may use information delivered under this clause (z) for any purpose to the extent it is publicly available (unless the availability results from a breach of this Agreement or any other confidentiality agreement to which such Rating Agency is subject) or comprised of information collected by the applicable Rating Agency from the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website (or another 17g-5 information provider’s website that they have access to) other than pursuant to this Section 3.14(g).

 

(h)        The costs and expenses of compliance with this Section 3.14 by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and any other party hereto shall not be Additional Trust Fund Expenses.

 

Section 3.15  Title and Management of REO Properties and REO Accounts. (a)  If title to any Mortgaged Property (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) is acquired for the benefit of Certificateholders (and, in the case of the Serviced Whole Loans, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders) in foreclosure, by deed in lieu of foreclosure or upon abandonment or reclamation from bankruptcy, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the Trust where permitted by applicable law or regulation and consistent with customary servicing procedures, and otherwise in the name of the Trustee, or its nominee (which shall not include the Master Servicer), or a separate Trustee or co-Trustee, on behalf of the Trust Fund (and, in the case of the Serviced Whole Loans, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders).  The Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund (and, in the case of the Serviced Whole Loans, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders), shall dispose of any Serviced REO Property prior to the close of the third calendar year following the year in which the Trust Fund acquires ownership of such Serviced REO Property for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code, unless (i) the Special Servicer on behalf of the Lower-Tier REMIC has applied for an extension of such period pursuant to Sections 856(e)(3) and 860G(a)(8)(A) of the Code, in which case the Special Servicer shall sell such Serviced REO Property within the applicable extension period or if the Special Servicer has applied for extension as provided in this clause (i) but such request has not yet been granted or denied, the additional time specified in such request, or (ii) the Special Servicer seeks and subsequently receives an Opinion of Counsel (which opinion shall be an expense of the Trust Fund and, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, such expenses shall be allocated in accordance with the allocation provisions set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement), addressed to the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, to the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of such Serviced REO Property for an additional specified period will not cause such Serviced REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property”  within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code (determined without regard to the exception applicable for purposes of Section 860D(a) of the Code) at any time that any Certificate is outstanding, in which event such period shall be extended by such additional specified period subject to any conditions set forth in such Opinion of Counsel.  The Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund (and, in the case of the Serviced Whole Loans, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders), shall dispose of any Serviced REO Property held by the Trust Fund prior to the 


 



    -252-


     

    

 

last day of such period (taking into account extensions) by which such Serviced REO Property is required to be disposed of pursuant to the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence in a manner provided under Section 3.16 hereof.  In the case of the Trust Fund’s beneficial interest in any REO Property acquired by the Other Trustee pursuant to an Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Special Servicer shall coordinate with the Other Special Servicer with respect to any REO extension on behalf of the Trust Fund.  The Special Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each Serviced REO Property for the Certificateholders (and, in the case of the Serviced Whole Loans, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders) solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such Serviced REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property”  within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code (determined without regard to the exception applicable for purposes of Section 860D(a) of the Code) and such that income from the operation or sale of such property does not result in receipt by the Trust Fund of any income from non-permitted assets as described in Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code with respect to such property.

 

(b)        The Special Servicer shall have full power and authority, subject only to the Servicing Standard and the specific requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to do any and all things in connection with any Serviced REO Property as are consistent with the manner in which the Special Servicer manages and operates similar property owned or managed by the Special Servicer or any of its Affiliates, all on such terms and for such period as the Special Servicer deems to be in the best interests of Certificateholders and, in the case of the Serviced Whole Loans, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders and, in connection therewith, the Special Servicer shall agree to the payment of management fees that are consistent with general market standards.  Consistent with the foregoing, the Special Servicer shall cause or permit to be earned with respect to such Serviced REO Property any “net income from foreclosure property,”  within the meaning of Section 860G(c) of the Code, which is subject to tax under the REMIC Provisions, only if it has determined, and has so advised the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator in writing, that the earning of such income on a net after-tax basis could reasonably be expected to result in a greater recovery on behalf of Certificateholders and the RR Interest Owner (and, in the case of the Serviced Whole Loans, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders) than an alternative method of operation or rental of such Serviced REO Property that would not be subject to such a tax.

 

The Special Servicer
shall segregate and hold all revenues received by it with respect to any Serviced REO Property separate and apart from its own
funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain with respect to any Serviced REO Property a segregated custodial account
(each, an “REO Account” ), for the benefit of the Certificateholders and
the RR Interest Owner, each of which shall be an Eligible Account and shall be entitled “Midland Loan Services, a Division
of PNC Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer, on behalf of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, for the
benefit of the Holders of Benchmark 2020-IG2 Mortgage Trust Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2020-IG2 REO
Account.”   With respect to a Serviced REO Property securing a Serviced Whole Loan, the Special Servicer shall establish
an REO Account solely with respect to such property (each such account, a “Serviced Whole Loan REO Account” ),
each of which shall be an Eligible Account and shall be entitled “Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National
Association, as Special Servicer, on behalf of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders
of Benchmark 2020-IG2 Mortgage Trust Commercial Mortgage Pass-

Through Certificates, Series 2020-IG2 and the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders REO Account,”  to be held for the benefit of the Certificateholders, the RR Interest Owner and the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders.  The Special Servicer shall be entitled to withdraw for its account any interest or investment income earned on funds deposited in an REO Account or a Serviced Whole Loan REO Account to the extent provided in Section 3.07(b) of this Agreement.  The Special Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited REO Proceeds in the REO Account or the applicable Serviced Whole Loan REO Account within two Business Days after receipt of such properly identified and available REO Proceeds, and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of such Serviced REO Property and for other Property Protection Expenses with respect to such Serviced REO Property, including:

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(iv)   any taxes imposed on the Lower-Tier REMIC, as applicable, in respect of net income from foreclosure property in accordance with Section 4.05, and with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, such expenses shall be allocated pro rata to the Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loans based on each loan’s Stated Principal Balance and only to the extent any such Serviced Companion Loan is included in a REMIC.

 

To the extent that such REO Proceeds are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) above, the Master Servicer shall make such Advance unless the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that such Servicing Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance (provided that with respect to advancing insurance premiums or delinquent tax assessments the Master Servicer shall comply with the provisions of the second to last paragraph in Section 3.21(d) of this Agreement) and if the Master Servicer does not make any such Advance, the Trustee, to the extent the Trustee has actual knowledge of the Master Servicer’s failure to make such Advance, shall make such Advance, unless in each case, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, determines that such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance.  The Trustee shall be entitled to rely, conclusively, on any determination by the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, that an Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance.  The Trustee, when making an independent determination whether or not a proposed Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall use its good faith business judgment.  The Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement of such Advances (with interest at the Reimbursement Rate) made pursuant to the preceding sentence, to the extent permitted by Section 3.06 of this Agreement.  The Special Servicer shall withdraw from each REO Account or Serviced Whole Loan REO Account, as applicable, and remit to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account or the applicable Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account, as applicable, on a monthly basis on the later of the date that is (x) on or prior to the related

  



    -254-


     

    

 

Determination Date or (y) two (2) Business Days after such amounts are received and properly identified and determined to be available, the Net REO Proceeds received or collected from each Serviced REO Property, except that in determining the amount of such Net REO Proceeds, the Special Servicer may retain in each REO Account or Serviced Whole Loan REO Account reasonable reserves for repairs, replacements and necessary capital improvements and other related expenses. 

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer shall not:

 

(i)      permit any New Lease to be entered into, renewed or extended, if the New Lease by its terms will give rise to any income that does not constitute Rents from Real Property;

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

The Special Servicer shall be required to contract with an Independent Contractor, the fees and expenses of which shall be an expense of the Trust Fund (and, in the case of the Serviced Whole Loans, such expense shall be allocated in accordance with the allocation provisions of the related Intercreditor Agreement) and payable out of REO Proceeds, for the operation and management of any Serviced REO Property, within 90 days of the Trust Fund’s acquisition thereof (unless the Special Servicer shall have provided the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator with an Opinion of Counsel that the operation and management of any Serviced REO Property other than through an Independent Contractor shall not cause such Serviced REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property”  within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code) (which opinion shall be an expense of the Trust Fund, and in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, such expense shall be allocated in accordance with the allocation provisions of the related Intercreditor Agreement), provided that:

 



    -255-


     

    

 

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

 

(2)   any such contract shall require, or shall be administered to require, that the Independent Contractor pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the operation and management of such Serviced REO Property, including those listed above, and remit all related revenues (net of such costs and expenses) to the Special Servicer as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 30 days following the receipt thereof by such Independent Contractor;

 

(3)   none of the provisions of this Section 3.15(b) relating to any such contract or to actions taken through any such Independent Contractor shall be deemed to relieve the Special Servicer of any of its duties and obligations to the Trust Fund, the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders and, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Loan Noteholders, with respect to the operation and management of any such Serviced REO Property; and

 

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

 

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

 

(c)        Promptly following any acquisition by the Special Servicer of a Serviced REO Property on behalf of the Trust Fund, the Special Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer thereof, and, upon delivery of such notice, the Special Servicer shall obtain an Updated Valuation thereof, but only if any Updated Valuation with respect thereto is more than 9 months old and the Special Servicer has no actual knowledge of any material adverse change in circumstances that, consistent with the Servicing Standard, would call into question the validity of such Updated Valuation, in order to determine the fair market value of such Serviced REO Property and shall notify the Depositor and the Master Servicer and with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, the holder of the related Companion Loan, if any, and of the results of such Updated Valuation.  Any such Updated Appraisal shall be conducted in accordance with Appraisal Institute standards and the cost thereof shall be an expense of the Trust Fund and allocated to Classes of Principal Balance Certificates and the Class RR Certificates (in the same manner as Realized Losses and VRR Realized Losses as set forth in Section 4.01(f) of this Agreement).  In the case of any Serviced Whole Loan such expenses shall be allocated in accordance with the allocation provisions set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement.  The Special Servicer shall obtain a new Updated Valuation or a letter update every 9 months thereafter until the Serviced REO Property is sold.

 

(d)        When and as necessary, the Special Servicer shall send to the Certificate Administrator a statement prepared by the Special Servicer setting forth the amount of net income or net loss, as determined for federal income tax purposes, resulting from the operation and management of a trade or business on, the furnishing or rendering of a non-customary

service to the tenants of, or the receipt of any other amount not constituting Rents from Real Property in respect of, any Serviced REO Property in accordance with Sections 3.15(a) and 3.15(b) of this Agreement.

 

(e)        Upon the disposition of any Serviced REO Property in accordance with this Section 3.15, the Special Servicer shall calculate the Gain-on-Sale Proceeds allocable to a Mortgage Loan or the applicable Serviced Whole Loan, if any, realized in connection with such sale.

 

Section 3.16  Sale of Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties. (a)  The parties hereto may sell or purchase, or permit the sale or purchase of, a Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan only on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 3.16 or as otherwise expressly provided in or contemplated by Section 2.03(e) and Section 9.01 of this Agreement or in an applicable Intercreditor Agreement. The Special Servicer may only sell a Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan together with the related Mortgage Loan if it has received consent of the holder of the related Subordinate Companion Loan.

 

(b)        If the Special Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that it would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders (including the holders of the Loan-Specific Certificates) and the RR Interest Owner or, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the Certificateholders (including the Loan-Specific Certificateholders), the RR Interest Owner and the related Pari Passu Companion Loan Noteholders (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders constituted a single lender (and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan with a related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan, taking into account the subordinate nature of such Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan)) to attempt to sell a Defaulted Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, but including the Trust Subordinate Companion Loans, if applicable) and any related Pari Passu Companion Loan, the Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to solicit offers for each such Defaulted Loan on behalf of the Certificateholders, the RR Interest Owner and, if applicable, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Noteholders in such manner as will be reasonably likely to realize a fair price.  In the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the extent that such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is not sold together with the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan by the Other Special Servicer for the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan and, if permitted under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to sell (with the consent of the Directing Holder (if no Control Termination Event is continuing) and after consulting with the applicable Risk Retention Consultation Parties pursuant to Section 6.07) such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan if it determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such action would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and the RR Interest Owner (and shall be entitled to a Liquidation Fee in connection with such sale).  Subject to the qualifications described in this Section 3.16, the Special Servicer shall accept the first cash offer received from any Person that constitutes a fair price for such Defaulted Loan.  Subject to Section 3.16(k), if the Special Servicer receives more than one cash offer that constitutes a fair price for such Defaulted Loan during the period designated by the Special Servicer for receipt of offers, the Special Servicer shall accept the highest price.

 

The Special Servicer shall give the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and (other than in respect of any applicable Excluded Loan) the Directing

 



    -257-


     

    

 

Holder and each Risk Retention Consultation Party not less than ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to sell any such Defaulted Loan, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither the Trustee, in its individual capacity, nor any of its Affiliates may make an offer for or purchase any such Defaulted Loan pursuant to this Agreement.

 

(c)        Whether any cash offer constitutes a fair price for such Defaulted Loan, as the case may be, shall be determined by the Special Servicer, if the highest offeror is a Person other than an Interested Person, and by the Trustee, if the highest offeror is an Interested Person; provided that no offer from an Interested Person shall constitute a fair price unless (i) the offer is the highest offer received, and (ii) if the offer is less than the applicable Purchase Price, at least two other offers are received from independent third parties.  In determining whether any offer received from an Interested Person represents a fair price for any such Defaulted Loan, the Trustee shall be supplied with and shall rely on the most recent Appraisal or Updated Appraisal conducted in accordance with this Agreement within the preceding 9-month period or in the absence of any such Appraisal, on a narrative appraisal prepared by an Independent MAI appraiser selected by (i) the Special Servicer if the Special Servicer or an Affiliate of the Special Servicer is not making an offer with respect to such Defaulted Loan or (ii) by the Master Servicer if the Special Servicer is making such an offer unless the Master Servicer and Special Servicer are Affiliates.  The cost of any such Updated Appraisal or narrative appraisal shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance.  In addition, the Trustee shall be permitted to retain, at the expense of the related Interested Person, an independent third party expert in real estate or commercial mortgage loan matters with at least 5 years’ experience in valuing or investing in loans similar to the subject Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as the case may be, that has been selected with reasonable care by the trustee to determine such fair price and will be permitted to conclusively rely on the opinion of such third party’s determination.  Any costs and fees of the Trustee in connection with an offer by an Interested Person and the Trustee’s duties therewith shall be paid in advance of any such determination by such Interested Person.

 

In determining whether any offer from a Person other than an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for any such Defaulted Loan, the Special Servicer shall take into account (in addition to the results of any Appraisal, Updated Appraisal or narrative appraisal that it may have obtained pursuant to this Agreement within the prior 9 months), and in determining whether any offer from an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for any such Defaulted Loan, any appraiser shall be instructed to take into account, as applicable, among other factors, the period and amount of the Delinquency on such Defaulted Loan, the period and amount of the occupancy level and physical condition of the related Mortgaged Property, the state of the local economy in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, the expected recovery from such Defaulted Loan if the Special Servicer were to pursue a workout strategy, and the time and expense associated with a purchaser’s foreclosing on the related Mortgaged Property.

 

In addition, the Special Servicer shall refer to all other relevant information obtained by it or otherwise contained in the Mortgage File; provided that the Special Servicer shall take account of any change in circumstances regarding the related Mortgaged Property known to the Special Servicer that has occurred subsequent to, and that would, in the Special Servicer’s reasonable judgment, materially affect the value of the related Mortgaged Property reflected in the most recent related Appraisal.  Furthermore, the Special Servicer may consider

  



    -258-


     

    

 

available objective third party information obtained from generally available sources, as well as information obtained from vendors providing real estate services to the Special Servicer, concerning the market for distressed real estate loans and the real estate market for the subject property type in the area where the related Mortgaged Property is located.  The Special Servicer may, to the extent it is reasonable to do so in accordance with the Servicing Standard, conclusively rely on any opinions or reports of qualified Independent experts in real estate or commercial mortgage loan matters with at least five years’ experience in valuing or investing in loans similar to the subject Specially Serviced Loan, selected with reasonable care by the Special Servicer, in making such determination.  All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Special Servicer pursuant to this Section 3.16(c) shall constitute, and be reimbursable as, Servicing Advances.  The other parties to this Agreement shall cooperate with all reasonable requests for information made by the Special Servicer in order to allow the Special Servicer to perform its duties pursuant to this Section 3.16(c).

 

The Purchase Price (which, in connection with the administration of a Defaulted Loan related to a Serviced Whole Loan, shall be construed and calculated as if the loans in such Serviced Whole Loan together constitute a single Mortgage Loan thereunder) for any such Defaulted Loan shall in all cases be deemed a fair price.

 

(d)        Subject to subsection (c) above, the Special Servicer shall act on behalf of the Trustee (for the benefit of the Certificateholders and, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders) in negotiating and taking any other action necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of any such Defaulted Loan, and the applicable collection of all amounts payable in connection therewith.  In connection therewith, the Special Servicer may charge for its own account prospective offerors, and may retain, fees that approximate the Special Servicer’s actual costs in the preparation and delivery of information pertaining to such sales or exchanging offers without obligation to deposit such amounts into the REO Account the Collection Account or, in the case of any Serviced Whole Loan, the applicable Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account.  Any sale of such Defaulted Loan shall be final and without recourse to the Trustee or the Trust Fund (except such recourse to the Trust Fund imposed by those representations and warranties typically given in such transactions, any prorations applied thereto and any customary closing matters), and if such sale is consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, none of the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee shall have any liability to any Certificateholder or Companion Loan Noteholder with respect to the purchase price therefor accepted by the Special Servicer or the Trustee.

 

(e)        Any sale of such Defaulted Loan shall be for cash only.

 

(f)         The parties hereto may sell or purchase, or permit the sale or purchase of, a Serviced REO Property only on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 3.16 or as otherwise expressly provided in an applicable Intercreditor Agreement.

 

(g)       The Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to solicit offers for each Serviced REO Property on behalf of the Certificateholders and the RR Interest Owner and, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders in such manner as will be reasonably likely to realize a fair price within the time period provided for by Section 3.15(a) of this Agreement.  The Special Servicer (with the consent of the Directing

 



    -259-


     

    

 

Holder) shall accept the first cash offer received from any Person that constitutes a fair price for such Serviced REO Property.  Subject to Section 3.16(k), if the Special Servicer receives more than one cash offer that constitutes a fair price for such Serviced REO Property during the period designated by the Special Servicer for receipt of offers, the Special Servicer shall accept the highest price.  If the Special Servicer determines, in its good faith and reasonable judgment, that it will be unable to realize a fair price for any Serviced REO Property within the time constraints imposed by Section 3.15(a) of this Agreement, then the Special Servicer (with the consent of the Directing Holder) shall dispose of such Serviced REO Property upon such terms and conditions as the Special Servicer shall deem necessary and desirable to maximize the recovery thereon under the circumstances and, in connection therewith, shall accept the highest outstanding cash offer, regardless of from whom received.

 

The Special Servicer shall give the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Directing Holder, not less than ten Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to sell any Serviced REO Property, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither the Trustee, in its individual capacity, nor any of its Affiliates may make an offer for or purchase any Serviced REO Property pursuant to this Agreement.

 

(h)        Whether any cash offer constitutes a fair price for any Serviced REO Property, as the case may be, shall be determined by the Special Servicer, if the highest offeror is a Person other than an Interested Person, and by the Trustee, if the highest offeror is an Interested Person; provided that no offer from an Interested Person shall constitute a fair price unless it is the highest offer received.  In determining whether any offer received from an Interested Person represents a fair price for any such Serviced REO Property, the Trustee shall be supplied with and shall rely on the most recent appraisal or Updated Appraisal conducted in accordance with this Agreement within the preceding 9-month period or in the absence of any such appraisal, on a narrative appraisal prepared by an Independent MAI appraiser selected by the Special Servicer if the Special Servicer or an Affiliate of the Special Servicer is not making an offer with respect to a Serviced REO Property (or by the Master Servicer if the Special Servicer is making such an offer).  The cost of any such Updated Appraisal or narrative appraisal and any related costs and fees of the Trustee shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance.  In determining whether any offer from a Person other than an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for any such Serviced REO Property, the Special Servicer shall take into account (in addition to the results of any appraisal, updated appraisal or narrative appraisal that it may have obtained pursuant to this Agreement within the prior 9 months), and in determining whether any offer from an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for any such Serviced REO Property, any appraiser shall be instructed to take into account, as applicable, among other factors, the period and amount of the occupancy level and physical condition of the Mortgaged Property or Serviced REO Property, the state of the local economy and the obligation to dispose of any Serviced REO Property within the time period specified in Section 3.15(a) of this Agreement.  The Purchase Price (which, in connection with the administration of a Serviced REO Property related to a Serviced Whole Loan, shall be construed and calculated as if the loans in such Serviced Whole Loan together constitute a single Mortgage Loan thereunder) for any Serviced REO Property shall in all cases be deemed a fair price.  In addition, the Trustee shall be permitted to retain, at the expense of the related Interested Person, an independent third party to determine such fair price and will be permitted to conclusively rely on the opinion of such third party’s determination.  Any costs and fees of the Trustee in connection with an offer by an

Interested Person and the Trustee’s duties therewith shall be paid in advance of any such determination by such Interested Person.

 

(i)         Subject to subsections (g) and (h) above, the Special Servicer shall act on behalf of the Trustee (for the benefit of the Certificateholders and, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders) in negotiating and taking any other action necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of any Serviced REO Property, and the applicable collection of all amounts payable in connection therewith.  In connection therewith, the Special Servicer may charge for its own account prospective offerors, and may retain, fees that approximate the Special Servicer’s actual costs in the preparation and delivery of information pertaining to such sales or exchanging offers without obligation to deposit such amounts into the Collection Account or, in the case of any Serviced Whole Loan, the applicable Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account.  Any sale of a Serviced REO Property shall be final and without recourse to the Trustee or the Trust Fund (except such recourse to the Trust Fund imposed by those representations and warranties typically given in such transactions, any prorations applied thereto and any customary closing matters), and if such sale is consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, none of the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Depositor or the Trustee shall have any liability to any Certificateholder or Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder with respect to the purchase price therefor accepted by the Special Servicer or the Trustee.

 

(j)         Any sale of a Serviced REO Property shall be for cash only.

 

(k)        Notwithstanding any of the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 3.16, the Special Servicer shall not be obligated to accept the highest cash offer if the Special Servicer determines (in consultation with the Directing Holder (other than with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan or unless a Consultation Termination Event exists), each Risk Retention Consultation Party (other than with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan) and, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan or an REO Property related to a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Loan Noteholder(s)), in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders, the RR Interest Owner and, in the case of a sale of a Serviced Whole Loan or an REO Property related to a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Loan Noteholders (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders, the RR Interest Owner and, if applicable, Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders constituted a single lender and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan with a related Subordinate Companion Loan, taking into account the subordinate nature of such Subordinate Companion Loan) and, with respect to a Whole Loan with a Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, taking into account the subordinate nature of such Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, and the Special Servicer may accept a lower cash offer (from any Person other than itself or its Affiliate) if it determines, in its reasonable and good faith judgment, that acceptance of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and the RR Interest Owner (for example, if the prospective buyer making the lower offer is more likely to perform its obligations or the terms offered by the prospective buyer making the lower offer are more favorable) and, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and RR Interest Owner and, if applicable, Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders constituted a single lender) (and with

 



    -261-


     

    

 

respect to any Serviced Whole Loan with a related Subordinate Companion Loan, taking into account the subordinate nature of such Subordinate Companion Loan).

 

(l)         With respect to each defaulted Serviced Companion Loan, the Special Servicer shall sell such defaulted Serviced Companion Loan (or the Trust Subordinate Companion Loans, in the case of the Chase Center Tower Whole Loans) together with the related Mortgage Loan pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement as if such Mortgage Loan and Serviced Companion Loans (or the Trust Subordinate Companion Loans, in the case of the Chase Center Tower Whole Loans) were one whole loan on behalf of the Certificateholders and the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders.  The Special Servicer shall provide notice and other information required under the related Intercreditor Agreement to the applicable Other Special Servicer as soon as practicable following its decision to attempt to sell, and prior to commencement or marketing of, any Serviced Companion Loan.  With respect to Serviced Whole Loans, the Special Servicer shall be required to obtain the consent of any holder of a related Serviced Companion Loan (or the Trust Subordinate Companion Loans, in the case of the Chase Center Tower Whole Loans) prior to a sale of such Serviced Whole Loan, unless (i) such holder is the related Borrower or an Affiliate or agent of the related Borrower or (ii) the Special Servicer delivers to such holders of the related Serviced Companion Loans (or the Trust Subordinate Companion Loans, in the case of the Chase Center Tower Whole Loans):  (A) at least fifteen (15) Business Days’ prior written notice of any decision to attempt to sell the related Serviced Whole Loan; (B) at least ten (10) days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of each bid package (together with any material amendments to such bid packages) received by the Special Servicer in connection with any such proposed sale; (C) at least ten (10) days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of the most recent appraisal for such Serviced Whole Loan, and any documents in the servicing file reasonably requested by the holders of the applicable Serviced Companion Loans (or the Trust Subordinate Companion Loans, in the case of the Chase Center Tower Whole Loans) that are material to the sale price of such Serviced Whole Loan; and (D) until the sale is completed, and a reasonable period of time (but not less time than is afforded to other offerors, the Directing Holder and the Risk Retention Consultation Parties) 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 Special Servicer in connection with the proposed sale.  The holders of the Serviced Companion Loans (or the Trust Subordinate Companion Loans, in the case of the Chase Center Tower Whole Loans) (or, in any case, their respective representatives) shall be permitted to submit an offer at any sale of such related Serviced Whole Loan; however, the related Borrower and its agents and Affiliates shall not be permitted to submit an offer at such sale.

 

(m)       With respect to any Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan, if the related Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan becomes a Defaulted Loan, the Special Servicer (or, on or after the related Servicing Shift Securitization Date, the Other Special Servicer under the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement related to such Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan) will be required to sell such Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan together with the related Companion Loan(s) as notes evidencing one whole loan, in accordance with the provisions of the related Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement or the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as the case may be.

Section 3.17   Additional Obligations of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer; Inspections. (a)  The Master Servicer (at its own expense) (or, with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and Serviced REO Properties, the Special Servicer) shall inspect or cause to be inspected each Mortgaged Property securing a Serviced Mortgage Loan that it is servicing at such times and in such manner as is consistent with the Servicing Standard, but in any event shall inspect each Mortgaged Property with a Stated Principal Balance (or in the case of a Mortgage Loan secured by more than one Mortgaged Property, having an Allocated Loan Amount) of (A) $2,000,000 or more at least once every 12 months (commencing in 2021) and (B) less than $2,000,000 at least once every 24 months (commencing in 2021), (or, in each case, at such decreased frequency as each Rating Agency shall have provided a Rating Agency Confirmation relating to the Certificates and Serviced Companion Loan Securities, if any); provided that if a physical inspection has been performed by the Special Servicer in the previous twelve (12) months and the Master Servicer has no knowledge of a material change in the Mortgaged Property since such physical inspection, the Master Servicer will not be required to perform or cause to be performed, such physical inspection; provided, further, that if any scheduled payment becomes more than sixty (60) days delinquent on the related Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall inspect or cause to be inspected the related Mortgaged Property as soon as practicable after such Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan and annually thereafter for so long as such Mortgage Loan remains a Specially Serviced Loan.  The reasonable cost of each such inspection performed in accordance with the Servicing Standard by the Special Servicer shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance.  With respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, the costs described in the preceding sentence above that relate to the applicable Serviced Whole Loan shall be paid out of amounts on deposit in the Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account related to such Serviced Whole Loan (allocated in accordance with the expense allocation provision of the related Intercreditor Agreement).  If funds in the applicable Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account relating to a Serviced Whole Loan are insufficient, then any deficiency shall be paid from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account; provided that the Master Servicer shall, after receiving payment from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account, if any, (i) promptly notify the related Companion Loan Noteholder and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to exercise on behalf of the Trust any rights under the related Intercreditor Agreement to obtain reimbursement for a pro rata portion of such amount allocable to the related Companion Loans from the related Companion Loan Noteholders.  With respect to a Serviced AB Whole Loan (which includes the Chase Center Tower Whole Loans), the costs will be allocated, first, as an expense of the holders of the related Subordinate Companion Loan (with respect to the Chase Center Tower Whole Loans, the Trust Subordinate Companion Loans), and second, as an expense of the holders of the related Mortgage Loan and the related pari passu Companion Loans (if applicable), pro rata and pari passu, to the extent provided in the related Intercreditor Agreement.  The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall prepare a written report of the inspection describing, among other things, the condition of and any damage to the Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan that it is servicing and specifying the existence of any material vacancies in such Mortgaged Property, any sale, transfer or abandonment of such Mortgaged Property of which it has actual knowledge, any material adverse change in the condition of the Mortgaged Property, or any visible material waste committed on applicable Mortgaged Property.  The Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall send such reports to the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such reports to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement), the related Other 17g-5 Information Provider (if any) and, upon request, to the

 



    -263-


     

    

  

Initial Purchasers within 20 days of completion and receipt (by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, or, if earlier, any sub-servicer on their behalf) of the inspection report, each inspection report.

 

(b)        With respect to each Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Companion Loan, the Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer, in the case of a Specially Serviced Loan) shall exercise the Trustee’s rights, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, with respect to the Manager under the related Loan Documents and Management Agreement, if any.

 

(c)        The Master Servicer shall deliver all Compensating Interest Payments (other than the portion of any Compensating Interest Payment allocated to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loans or a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account on each Master Servicer Remittance Date, without any right of reimbursement therefor.  The Master Servicer shall deliver all Compensating Interest Payments with respect to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loans to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan REMIC Distribution Account on each Master Servicer Remittance Date, without any right of reimbursement therefor.  The Master Servicer shall deliver the portion of any Compensating Interest Payment allocated to a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan to the holder of the Serviced Companion Loan on each Master Servicer Remittance Date, without any right of reimbursement therefor.

 

(d)        The Master Servicer shall, as to each Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan that is secured by the interest of the related Borrower under a ground lease (or, with respect to a leasehold interest that is a space lease or an air rights lease, such space lease or air rights lease), promptly (and in any event within 60 days) after the Closing Date notify the related ground lessor of the transfer of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan to the Trust pursuant to this Agreement and inform such ground lessor that any notices of default under the related ground lease (or, with respect to a leasehold interest that is a space lease or an air rights lease, the related space lease or air rights lease) should thereafter be forwarded to the Master Servicer.

 

(e)        The Master Servicer shall, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard and permitted by the related Loan Documents, not apply any funds with respect to a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan (whether arising in the form of a holdback, earnout reserve, cash trap or other similar feature) to the prepayment of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan prior to an event of default or reasonably foreseeable event of default with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan.  Prior to an event of default or reasonably foreseeable event of default any such amounts described in the immediately preceding sentence shall be held by the Master Servicer as additional collateral for the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan.

The Certificate Administrator may at any time terminate the agency of the Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to the Authenticating Agent, the Depositor and the Master Servicer.  Upon receiving a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time the Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.18, the Certificate Administrator may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent, which shall be acceptable to the Depositor, and shall mail notice of such appointment to all Certificateholders.  Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and responsibilities of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Authenticating Agent herein.  No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section 3.18.

 

The Authenticating Agent shall have no responsibility or liability for any action taken by it as such at the direction of the Certificate Administrator.  Any compensation paid to the Authenticating Agent shall be an unreimbursable expense of the Certificate Administrator, as applicable.

The Certificate Administrator may appoint one or more additional Custodians to hold all or a portion of the Mortgage Files on behalf of the Trustee and otherwise perform the duties set forth in Article II, by entering into a Custodial Agreement with any Custodian who is not the Depositor.  The Certificate Administrator agrees to comply with the terms of each Custodial Agreement and to enforce the terms and provisions thereof against the Custodian for the benefit of the Certificateholders.  The Certificate Administrator shall not be liable for any act or omission of the Custodian under the Custodial Agreement.  Each Custodian shall be a depository institution subject to supervision by federal or state authority, shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $10,000,000, shall have a long-term debt rating of at least “Baa2”  from Moody’s, “BBB”  from Fitch and “A (low)”  by DBRS Morningstar.

If the Custodian is an entity other than the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian shall maintain a fidelity bond in the form and amount that are customary for securitizations similar to the securitization evidenced by this Agreement.  The Custodian shall be deemed to have complied with this provision if one of its Affiliates has such fidelity bond coverage and, by the terms of such fidelity bond, the coverage afforded thereunder extends to the Custodian.

    -265-


     

    

 

policy or policies of insurance covering loss occasioned by the errors and omissions of its officers and employees in connection with its obligations hereunder in the form and amount that are customary for securitizations similar to the securitization evidenced by this Agreement.  All fidelity bonds and policies of errors and omissions insurance obtained under this Section 3.19 shall be issued by a Qualified Insurer.

 

Section 3.20  Lock-Box Accounts, Cash Collateral Accounts, Escrow Accounts and Reserve Accounts.   The Master Servicer shall administer each Lock-Box Account, Cash Collateral Account, Escrow Account and Reserve Account in accordance with the related Mortgage or Loan Agreement, Cash Collateral Account Agreement or Lock-Box Agreement, if any relating to the Serviced Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loans it is servicing.

 

Section 3.21  Servicing Advances. (a)  The Master Servicer (or, to the extent provided in Section 3.21(c) of this Agreement, the Trustee) to the extent specifically provided for in this Agreement, shall make any Servicing Advances as and to the extent otherwise required pursuant to the terms hereof with respect to the Serviced Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loans that it is servicing.  For purposes of distributions to Certificateholders and compensation to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, Servicing Advances shall not be considered to increase the Stated Principal Balance of any such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loans so provide.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Special Servicer shall have no obligation to make any Servicing Advances under this Agreement, but may make a Servicing Advance on an urgent or emergency basis in its discretion.

 

(b)        Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Special Servicer shall give the Master Servicer not less than five Business Days’ written notice with respect to any Servicing Advance to be made on any Specially Serviced Loan, before the date on which the Master Servicer is required to make such Servicing Advance with respect to such Specially Serviced Loan or Serviced REO Loan; provided that the Special Servicer shall be required to provide the Master Servicer with only two Business Days’ written notice in respect of Servicing Advances required to be made on an urgent or emergency basis (which may include, without limitation, Servicing Advances required to make tax or insurance payments).  If the Master Servicer or the Trustee makes a Servicing Advance with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan then it shall provide written notice to the related Other Servicer, Other Special Servicer and Other Trustee of the amount of such Servicing Advance with respect to such Serviced Whole Loan as part of its monthly report following the making of such Servicing Advance.

 

(c)        The Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator in writing promptly upon, and in any event within one Business Day after, becoming aware that it will be unable to make any Servicing Advance required to be made pursuant to the terms hereof, and in connection therewith, shall set forth in such notice the amount of such Servicing Advance, the Person to whom it is to be paid, and the circumstances and purpose of such Servicing Advance, and shall set forth therein information and instructions for the payment of such Servicing Advance, and, on the date specified in such notice for the payment of such Servicing Advance, or, if the date for payment has passed or if no such date is specified, then within five Business Days following such notice, the Trustee, subject to the

 



    -266-


     

    

 

provisions of Section 3.21(d) of this Agreement, shall pay the amount of such Servicing Advance in accordance with such information and instructions.

 

(d)        The Special Servicer shall promptly furnish any party required to make Servicing Advances hereunder with any information in its possession regarding the Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties as such party required to make Servicing Advances may reasonably request for purposes of making recoverability determinations.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall have no obligation to make an affirmative determination that any Advance is, or would be, a Nonrecoverable Advance, and in the absence of a determination by the Special Servicer that such an Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, then all such decisions shall remain with the Master Servicer or Trustee, as applicable.

 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Servicing Advance shall be required hereunder if the Person otherwise required to make such Servicing Advance determines that such Servicing Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance.  In addition, neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall make any Servicing Advance to the extent that it has received written notice that the Special Servicer has determined that such Servicing Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance.  In making such recoverability determination, such Person will be entitled to (i) give due regard to the existence of any Nonrecoverable Advance or Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount with respect to other Mortgage Loans, the recovery of which, at the time of such consideration, is being deferred or delayed by the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, in light of the fact that proceeds on the related Mortgage Loan (or the related Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable) are a source of recovery not only for the Servicing Advance under consideration, but also as a potential source of recovery of such Nonrecoverable Advance or Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount which is being or may be deferred or delayed, (ii) consider (among other things) the obligations of the Borrower under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan (or the related Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable) as it may have been modified, (iii) consider (among other things) the related Mortgaged Properties in their “as is”  or then current conditions and occupancies, as modified by such party’s assumptions (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) regarding the possibility and effects of future adverse changes with respect to such Mortgaged Properties, (iv) estimate and consider (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) (among other things) future expenses, (v) estimate and consider (among other things) the timing of recoveries and (vi) consider any non-recoverability determination of the Other Servicer or Other Trustee under the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to a P&I Advance for a Non-Serviced Companion Loan.

 

The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, shall consider Unliquidated Advances in respect of prior Servicing Advances for purposes of nonrecoverability determinations as if such Unliquidated Advances were unreimbursed Servicing Advances.  If an Appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property shall not have been obtained within the prior 9-month period (and the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall each request any such appraisal from the Special Servicer prior to ordering an Appraisal pursuant to this sentence) or if such an Appraisal shall have been obtained but as a result of unforeseen occurrences, such Appraisal does not, in the good faith determination of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer

 



    -267-


     

    

 

or the Trustee, reflect current market conditions, and the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, and the Special Servicer cannot agree on the appropriate downward adjustment to such Appraisal, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, may, subject to its reasonable and good faith determination that such Appraisal will demonstrate the nonrecoverability of the related Advance, obtain an Appraisal for such purpose at the expense of the Trust Fund (and, in the case of any Serviced Whole Loan, such expense shall be allocated in accordance with the allocation provisions of the related Intercreditor Agreement).

 

Any determination by the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or the Trustee that the Master Servicer or Trustee, as the case may be, has made a Servicing Advance that is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance or any determination by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee that any proposed Servicing Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance shall be evidenced in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer by a certificate of a Servicing Officer delivered to the other, to the Trustee, the Directing Holder (but only if no Consultation Termination Event is continuing), the Certificate Administrator, any related Companion Loan Noteholder(s) and the Depositor and, in the case of the Trustee, by a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, delivered to the Depositor, the Directing Holder (but only if no Consultation Termination Event is continuing), the Certificate Administrator, any related Companion Loan Noteholder(s), the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, which in each case sets forth such nonrecoverability determination and the considerations of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, forming the basis of such determination (such certificate accompanied by, to the extent available, income and expense statements, rent rolls, occupancy status, property inspections and other information used by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, to make such determination, together with any existing Appraisal or any Updated Appraisal); provided that the Special Servicer may, at its option, make a determination in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that any Servicing Advance previously made or proposed to be made is nonrecoverable and shall deliver to the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Holder (but only with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan and if no Consultation Termination Event is continuing), the Trustee, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder (if any) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement), notice of such determination.  Any such determination may be relied upon by and shall be binding on the Master Servicer and the Trustee.  For the avoidance of doubt, any nonrecoverability determination with respect to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loans will be made based on the subordinate nature of the Trust Subordinate Companion Loans.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer shall have no obligation to make an affirmative determination that any Advance is, or would be, a Nonrecoverable Advance, and in the absence of a determination by the Special Servicer that such an Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, then all such decisions shall remain with the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable. If the Special Servicer makes a determination that only a portion, and not all, of any previously made or proposed Servicing Advance is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall each have the right to make its own subsequent determination that any remaining portion of any such previously made or proposed Servicing Advance is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance.

 

Any such Person may update or change its recoverability determinations at any time (but not reverse any other Person’s determination or prohibit any such other authorized

 



    -268-


     

    

 

Person from making a determination, that a Servicing Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance) and (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) may obtain, at the expense of the Trust (and, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, such expense shall be allocated in accordance with the allocation provisions of the related Intercreditor Agreement), any analysis, Appraisals or market value estimates or other information for such purposes.  Absent bad faith, any such determination as to the recoverability of any Servicing Advance shall be conclusive and binding on the Certificateholders and the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders.

 

The Trustee, in determining whether or not a Servicing Advance previously made is, or a proposed Servicing Advance, if made, would be, a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance shall use its reasonable judgment.

 

With respect to the payment of insurance premiums and delinquent tax assessments, in the event that the Master Servicer determines that a Servicing Advance of such amounts would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Master Servicer shall deliver notice of such determination to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Special Servicer.  Upon receipt of such notice, the Master Servicer (with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan that is a Performing Loan) and the Special Servicer (with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property) shall determine (with the reasonable assistance of the Master Servicer) whether the payment of such amount (i) is necessary to preserve the related Mortgaged Property and (ii) would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and the RR Interest Owner and, in the case of any Serviced Companion Loans, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders, RR Interest Owner and, if applicable, Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders constituted a single lender (and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan with a related Subordinate Companion Loan, taking into account the subordinate nature of such Subordinate Companion Loan)).  If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer determines that the payment of such amount (i) is necessary to preserve the related Mortgaged Property and (ii) would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, in the case of any Serviced Companion Loan, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder (and in the case of a Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan, taking into account the subordinate nature of such Subordinate Companion Loan), the Special Servicer (in the case of a determination by the Special Servicer) shall direct the Master Servicer in writing to make such payment and the Master Servicer shall make such payment, to the extent of available funds, from amounts in the Collection Account or, if a Serviced Whole Loan is involved, from amounts in the applicable Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.21, the Master Servicer may elect (but shall not be required) to make a payment out of the Collection Account to pay for certain expenses specified in this sentence notwithstanding that the Master Servicer has determined that a Servicing Advance with respect to such expenditure would be a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance (unless, with respect to Specially Serviced Loans or Serviced REO Loans, the Special Servicer has notified the Master Servicer to not make such expenditure), where making such expenditure would prevent (i) the related Mortgaged Property from being uninsured or being sold at a tax sale or (ii) any event that would cause a loss of the priority of the lien of the related Mortgage, or the loss of any security for the related Mortgage Loan; provided

 



    -269-


     

    

 

that in each instance, the Master Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard (as evidenced by a certificate of a Servicing Officer delivered to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator) that making such expenditure is in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders constituted a single lender (and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan with a related Subordinate Companion Loan, taking into account the subordinate nature of such Subordinate Companion Loan)).

With respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an applicable Excluded Loan, for so long as no Control Termination Event is continuing, if within 10 Business Days of receiving an Asset Status Report, the Directing Holder does not disapprove such Asset Status Report in writing, the Directing Holder will be deemed to have approved such Asset Status Report and the Special Servicer shall implement the recommended action as outlined in such Asset Status Report; provided that such Special Servicer may not take any action that is contrary to applicable law, this Agreement, the Servicing Standard (taking into consideration the best interests of all the Certificateholders and the RR Interest Owner and, with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders constituted a single lender) (and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan with a related Subordinate Companion Loan, taking into account the subordinate nature of such Subordinate Companion Loan)), the terms of the applicable Loan Documents or any related Intercreditor Agreement.  For so long as no Control Termination Event is continuing, if the Directing Holder disapproves such Asset Status Report within such 10 Business Day period, the Special Servicer will revise such Asset Status Report and deliver to the Directing Holder (in the case of the Chase Center Tower Whole Loans, only during a Trust Subordinate Companion Loan Control Termination Event), the Master Servicer, the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such report to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement) and each related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder, a new Asset Status Report as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 30 days after such disapproval.  The Special Servicer shall revise such Asset Status Report as described above in this Section 3.23(e) until the Directing Holder fails to disapprove such revised Asset Status Report in writing within 10 Business Days of receiving such revised Asset Status Report or until the Special Servicer makes a determination consistent with the Servicing Standard, that such objection is not in the best interests of all the Certificateholders and the RR Interest Owner and, with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the best interests of the Certificateholders, the RR Interest Owner and the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders constituted a single lender and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan with a related Subordinate Companion Loan, taking into account the subordinate nature of such Subordinate Companion Loan).  In any event, for so long as no Control Termination Event is continuing, if the Directing Holder does not approve an Asset Status Report within 60 Business Days from the first submission of an Asset Status Report, the Special Servicer shall follow the Directing Holder’s direction, if such direction is consistent with the Servicing Standard; provided, however, that if the Directing Holder’s direction would cause the Special Servicer to violate the Servicing Standard, the Special Servicer may act upon the most recently submitted form of Asset Status Report if consistent with the Servicing Standard. The procedures described in this paragraph are collectively referred to as the “Directing Holder Asset Status Report Review Process” .

The Special Servicer may, from time to time, modify any Asset Status Report it has previously delivered and implement such report, provided such report shall have been prepared, reviewed and not rejected pursuant to the terms of this Section, and in particular, shall modify and resubmit such Asset Status Report to the Directing Holder (with a copy to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator) if (i) the estimated sales proceeds, foreclosure proceeds, workout or restructure terms or anticipated debt forgiveness varies materially from the amount on which the original report was based or (ii) the related Borrower becomes the subject of bankruptcy proceedings.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer (i) may, following the occurrence of an extraordinary event with respect to the related Mortgaged Property, take any action set forth in such Asset Status Report before the expiration of a 10 Business Day period if the Special Servicer has reasonably determined that failure to take such action would materially and adversely affect the interests of the Certificateholders and, with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders constituted a single lender (and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan with a related Subordinate Companion Loan, taking into account the subordinate nature of such Subordinate Companion Loan)), and it has made a reasonable effort to contact the Directing Holder and, if any Serviced Whole Loan is involved, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders and (ii) in any case, shall determine whether such affirmative disapproval is not in the best interests of all the Certificateholders and the RR Interest Owner (taken as a collective whole) (or, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, the best interest of the Certificateholders, the RR Interest Owner and the holders of the related Companion Loan, as a collective whole (taking into account the pari passu or subordinate nature of such Companion Loan)) and, with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders constituted a single lender (and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan with a related Subordinate Companion Loan, taking into account the subordinate nature of such Subordinate Companion Loan)) pursuant to the Servicing Standard, and, upon making such determination, shall implement the recommended action outlined in the Asset Status Report.  The Asset Status Report is not intended to replace or satisfy any specific consent or approval right which the Directing Holder may have.  Any Asset Status Report delivered with respect to an Excluded Controlling Class Loan shall be sent via email (or such other electronic means mutually acceptable to the parties) in one or more separate files labeled by the Special Servicer “Excluded Information”  followed by the applicable loan number and loan name to cmbsexcludedinformation@wellsfargo.com.

 

The Special Servicer shall have the authority to meet with the Borrower for any Specially Serviced Loan and take such actions consistent with the Servicing Standard and the related Asset Status Report.  The Special Servicer shall not take any action inconsistent with the related Asset Status Report, unless such action would be required in order to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard, this Agreement, applicable law or the related Loan Documents.

 

Upon the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and at any time with respect to an Excluded Loan applicable to the Directing Holder, the Directing Holder shall have no right to consent to any Asset Status Report under this Section 3.23. Upon the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event but other than during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Holder (except with respect to

 



    -281-


     

    

 

any applicable Excluded Loan) shall be entitled to consult with the Special Servicer (in person or remotely via electronic, telephonic or other mutually agreeable communication).  During the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event (and at any time with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan), 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 Asset Status Reports.  The Special Servicer may choose to revise the Asset Status Report as it deems reasonably necessary in accordance with the Servicing Standard to take into account any input and/or recommendations of the Directing Holder during the applicable periods described above, but is under no obligation to follow any particular recommendation of the Directing Holder.  The Special Servicer shall implement the Final Asset Status Report. 

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to each Serviced AB Whole Loan, other than during continuance of a related Control Appraisal Period, the related Loan-Specific Directing Holder, rather than the Pooled Trust Directing Holder, will have certain approval rights over any related Asset Status Report.

 

In addition, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, such Asset Status Reports are subject to any non-binding consultation rights, if any, that the holders of the related Pari Passu Companion Loans have pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement.

 

If the Directing Holder does not propose alternative courses of action within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such Asset Status Report, the Special Servicer shall implement the Asset Status Report as proposed by the Special Servicer.

 

(f)         No direction, advice, consent, approval or disapproval of the Directing Holder or a Risk Retention Consultation Party shall (a) require, permit or cause the Special Servicer to violate the terms of a Specially Serviced Loan, any related Intercreditor Agreement, applicable law or any provision of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, Section 3.09, Section 3.16, Section 3.18 and Section 3.25 and the Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard and to maintain the REMIC status of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC, or (b) result in the imposition of a “prohibited transaction”  or “contribution”  tax under the REMIC Provisions, or (c) expose the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trust Fund, the Certificate Administrator, the Paying Agent, the Trustee or their respective officers, directors, employees or agents to any claim, suit or liability or (d) materially expand the scope of the Special Servicer’s, Certificate Administrator’s, Trustee’s or the Master Servicer’s responsibilities under this Agreement.  The Special Servicer shall not be required to follow any direction of the Directing Holder described in this paragraph.

 

As provided in Section 3.12(d), if any Servicing Shift Whole Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan prior to the related Servicing Shift Securitization Date, the Special Servicer shall service and administer such Servicing Shift Whole Loan and related REO Property in the same manner as any other Specially Serviced Loan or Serviced REO Property, shall be entitled to all Special Servicing Compensation earned with respect to such Serviced Whole Loan and shall have all the rights and obligations with respect to such Serviced Whole Loan as Special Servicer of such Serviced Whole Loan.

 

No direction, advice, consent, approval or disapproval of the Directing Holder or a Risk Retention Consultation Party shall (a) require, permit or cause the Special Servicer to

 



    -282-


     

    

 

violate the terms of a Specially Serviced Loan, any related Intercreditor Agreement, applicable law or any provision of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, Section 3.09, Section 3.16, Section 3.18 and Section 3.25 and the Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard and to maintain the REMIC status of the Lower-Tier REMIC, the Upper-Tier REMIC and Trust Subordinate Companion Loan REMIC and the grantor trust status of the Grantor Trust, or (b) result in the imposition of a “prohibited transaction”  or “contribution”  tax under the REMIC Provisions, or (c) expose the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trust Fund, the Certificate Administrator, the Paying Agent, the Trustee or their respective officers, directors, employees or agents to any claim, suit or liability or (d) materially expand the scope of the Special Servicer’s, Certificate Administrator’s, Trustee’s or the Master Servicer’s responsibilities under this Agreement.  The Special Servicer shall not be required to follow any direction of the Directing Holder described in this paragraph.

 

(g)        [Reserved].

 

Section 3.24  Special Instructions for the Master Servicer and/or Special Servicer. (a)  Prior to taking any action with respect to a Mortgage Loan or a Serviced Whole Loan secured by Mortgaged Properties located in a “one-action”  state, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall consult with legal counsel, the fees and expenses of which shall be an expense of the Trust Fund (and, in the case of any Serviced Whole Loan, such expense shall be allocated in accordance with the allocation provisions of the related Intercreditor Agreement).

 

(b)        The Master Servicer shall send written notice to each Borrower (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and the related Manager and clearing bank relating to a Serviced Mortgage Loan that it is servicing that, if applicable, it and/or the Trustee has been appointed as the “Designee”  of the “Lender”  under any related Lock-Box Agreement.

 

(c)        Without limiting the obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder with respect to the enforcement of a Borrower’s obligations under the related Loan Documents, the Master Servicer agrees that it shall, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, enforce the provisions of the Loan Documents relating to the Serviced Mortgage Loan that it is servicing with respect to the collection of Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges.

 

(d)        If a Rating Agency shall charge a fee in connection with providing a Rating Agency Confirmation, the Master Servicer shall require the related Borrower (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) to pay such fee to the extent not inconsistent with the applicable Loan Documents.  If such fee remains unpaid, such fee shall be an expense of the Trust Fund (allocated as an Additional Trust Fund Expense in the same manner as Realized Losses as set forth in Section 4.01(h) of this Agreement) and, (1) in the case of a Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan with a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (but not a Subordinate Companion Loan), allocated in accordance with the allocation provisions of the related Intercreditor Agreement, the costs of which may be advanced as a Servicing Advance.

 

(e)        The Master Servicer shall, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, use commercially reasonable efforts to exercise on behalf of the Trust any right of the Trust to recover any amounts owed by the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders to the Trust Fund pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement (but in the case of any Serviced Subordinate

 



    -283-


     

    

 

Companion Loan, subject to Section 1.02).  The cost of such enforcement on behalf of the Trust shall be paid and reimbursable as a Servicing Advance.

 

(f)         With respect to a Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan with a Stated Principal Balance equal to or greater than the lesser of 5% of the Stated Principal Balance of all Mortgage Loans held by the Trust Fund and $35,000,000, or with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is one of the ten largest Mortgage Loans based on Stated Principal Balance, to the extent not inconsistent with the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, the Master Servicer shall not consent to a change of franchise affiliation with respect to a Mortgaged Property (other than a Mortgaged Property securing a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) serviced hereunder or the property manager with respect to a Mortgaged Property (other than a Mortgaged Property securing a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) serviced hereunder unless the Master Servicer obtains a Rating Agency Confirmation relating to the Certificates and Serviced Companion Loan Securities, if any.

 

Section 3.25   Certain Rights and Obligations of the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer. (a)  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be required to take or refrain from taking any action pursuant to instructions from the Directing Holder or a Non-Controlling Note Holder, or due to any failure to approve an action by the Directing Holder, or due to any objection by the Directing Holder or a Non-Controlling Note Holder that would (i) cause any one of them to violate applicable law, the terms of any Loan Documents, any Intercreditor Agreement, this Agreement, including the Servicing Standard, or the REMIC Provisions of the Code, (ii) expose the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Paying Agent, a Mortgage Loan Seller, the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator (in any of its capacities), or the Custodian or their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees or agents to any claim, suit or liability, (iii) materially expand the scope of the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s responsibilities, or (iv) cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to act, or fail to act, in a manner that is not in the best interests of the Certificateholders and the RR Interest Owner.

 

(b)        Upon request, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall discuss with the Directing Holder (for so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing and other than with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan), on a monthly basis, the performance of any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan that is a Specially Serviced Loan, which is delinquent, has been placed on a “Watch List”  or has been identified by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer as exhibiting deteriorating performance.

 

Section 3.26    Modification, Waiver, Amendment and Consents. (a)  Subject to Sections 3.25, Section 3.26(f) and 3.27, and, if applicable, each Intercreditor Agreement, (i) with respect to any Performing Loan and actions that do not involve Special Servicer Major Decisions or Special Servicer Non-Major Decisions, the Master Servicer, or (ii) with respect to (A) any Specially Serviced Loan and (B) Special Servicer Major Decisions or Special Servicer Non-Major Decisions irrespective of whether the related Mortgage Loan is a Performing Loan, the Special Servicer, in each case subject to (x) the rights of the Directing Holder and (y) with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan with a Subordinate Companion Loan, the rights of the holder of the related Subordinate Companion Loans and the Risk Retention Consultation Parties (to the extent the Risk Retention Consultation Parties have consultation rights pursuant to Section 6.07 of this Agreement), may modify, waive, amend, consent or take such other action with respect to 

 

 



    -284-


     

    

 

any term of any Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan if such modification, waiver, amendment, consent or other action (A) is consistent with the Servicing Standard and (B) would not constitute a “significant modification”  of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) and would not otherwise cause an Adverse REMIC Event.  Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer may conclusively rely on an Opinion of Counsel in meeting this requirement.  In order to meet the foregoing requirements, in the case of a release of real property collateral securing a Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall observe the REMIC requirements of the Code with respect to a required payment of principal if the loan-to-value ratio immediately after the release exceeds 125% with respect to the related real property collateral.  In connection with (i) the release of a Mortgaged Property or any portion of a Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage or (ii) the taking of a Mortgaged Property or any portion of a Mortgaged Property by exercise of the power of eminent domain or condemnation, if the Loan Documents require the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to calculate (or to approve the calculation of the related Borrower of) the loan-to-value ratio of the remaining Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties or the fair market value of the real property constituting the remaining Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties, for purposes of REMIC qualification of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, then such calculation shall exclude the value of any personal property and going concern value, if any.  If, following any such release or taking, the loan-to-value ratio as so calculated is greater than 125%, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall require payment of principal by a “qualified amount”  as determined under Revenue Procedure 2010-30 or successor provisions, unless the related Borrower provides an Opinion of Counsel that if such amount is not paid the related Mortgage Loan will not fail to be a Qualified Mortgage.

 

If a Borrower satisfies the requirements set forth in the definition of “COVID Modification” , the Master Servicer may enter into a COVID Modification with the related Borrower.  Notwithstanding anything set forth in the definition of Major Decision, neither a COVID Modification nor the entering into of any COVID Modification Agreement by the Master Servicer shall be a Major Decision.  In exchange for a fee as described below, the Master Servicer shall be responsible for processing any COVID Modification and any related COVID Modification Agreement for any COVID Modified Loan.

 

The Borrowers may request payment forbearance because of COVID-19 related financial hardship. The Master Servicer shall be allowed to grant a forbearance on a Mortgage Loan related to the global COVID-19 emergency if (i) prior to the 2021 calendar year, the period of forbearance granted, when added to any prior periods of forbearance granted before or after the Trust acquired such Mortgage Loan (whether or not such prior grants of forbearance were specifically covered by Revenue Procedure 2020-26), does not exceed six months (or such longer period of time as may be allowed by future guidance that is binding on federal income tax authorities) and such forbearance is specifically covered by Revenue Procedure 2020-26, (ii) such forbearance is permitted under another provision of this Agreement and the requirements under such provision are satisfied, or (iii) an Opinion of Counsel is delivered to the effect that such forbearance will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event.

 

 



    -285-


     

    

 

Any fees or other charges charged by the Master Servicer in connection with processing any COVID Modification or related COVID Modification Agreement with respect to any COVID Modified Loan (in the aggregate with any other COVID Modification or COVID Modification Agreement with respect to such COVID Modified Loan) shall not exceed an amount equal to $30,000 (plus reasonable and customary attorney’s fees and expenses, out of pocket third party fees and expenses and filing fees) and shall only be borne by the related Borrower, not the Trust.

 

Upon receiving a request for any matter that constitutes a Special Servicer Non-Major Decision or a Special Servicer Major Decision with respect to a Serviced Mortgage Loan that is not a Specially Serviced Loan, the Master Servicer shall forward such request to the Special Servicer and, unless the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer mutually agree that the Master Servicer will process such request, the Special Servicer will be required to process such request and the Master Servicer will have no further obligation with respect to such request or the Special Servicer Non-Major Decision or Special Servicer Major Decision other than providing the Special Servicer with any reasonably requested information or documentation. In addition, the Master Servicer shall provide the Special Servicer with any notice that it receives relating to a default by the borrower under a ground lease where the collateral for the Mortgage Loan is the ground lease, and the Special Servicer will determine in accordance with the Servicing Standard whether to cure any borrower defaults relating to ground leases.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer may mutually agree that the Master Servicer will process any of the foregoing matters that are Special Servicer Major Decisions or Special Servicer Non-Major Decisions with respect to any Performing Loan. If the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer mutually agree that the Master Servicer will process any Special Servicer Major Decision or Special Servicer Non-Major Decision with respect to a Performing Loan, the Master Servicer shall obtain the consent (or deemed consent) of the Special Servicer as provided in Section 3.26(m).

 

(b)        Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer may extend the Maturity Date of any Mortgage Loan, Serviced Whole Loan or Specially Serviced Loan beyond the date that is the date occurring later than the earlier of (1) other than with respect to the Chase Center Tower Whole Loans, seven years prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date for the Pooled Certificates (or, in the case of the Chase Center Tower Whole Loans, seven years prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date for the Loan-Specific Certificates) and (2) in the case of a Mortgage Loan, Serviced Whole Loan or Specially Serviced Loan secured solely or primarily by the related Borrower’s interest in a ground lease (or, with respect to a leasehold interest where the related Borrower is the lessee and that is a space lease or an air rights lease, such space lease or air rights lease), the date that is 20 years prior to the expiration date of such ground lease (or, with respect to a leasehold interest where the related Borrower is the lessee and that is a space lease or an air rights lease, such space lease or air rights lease) (or 10 years prior to the expiration date of such lease if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, gives due consideration to the remaining term of such ground lease (or, with respect to a leasehold interest where the Borrower is the lessee and that is a space lease or an air rights lease, such space lease or air rights lease) and such extension is in the best interest of the Certificateholders and the RR Interest Owner and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders, RR Interest Owner and

 

 



    -286-


     

    

 

(with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan) Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder constituted a single lender (and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan with a related Subordinate Companion Loan, taking into account the subordinate nature of such Subordinate Companion Loan)) and, (A) if no Control Termination Event is continuing, with the consent of the Directing Holder and (B) to the extent such extension constitutes a Major Decision, after consultation with each Risk Retention Consultation Party pursuant to Section 6.07).

 

(c)        Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall permit any Borrower to add or substitute any collateral for an outstanding Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan, which collateral constitutes real property, unless the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall have obtained a Rating Agency Confirmation relating to the Certificates and Serviced Companion Loan Securities, if any.

 

(d)        Any payment of interest, which is deferred pursuant to any modification, waiver or amendment permitted hereunder, shall not, for purposes hereof, including, without limitation, calculating monthly distributions to Certificateholders or, if applicable, Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders, be added to the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan or such modification, waiver or amendment so permit.

 

(e)        Except for waivers of Penalty Charges and waivers of notice periods, all material modifications, waivers and amendments of the Serviced Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loans in accordance with this Section 3.26 or Section 3.27 of this Agreement (with respect to Serviced Whole Loans) shall be in writing.

 

(f)         The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall notify the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, each Risk Retention Consultation Party, the Directing Holder (other than if a Consultation Termination Event is continuing), the Depositor, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder (if any) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement), in writing, of any modification, waiver, material consent or amendment of any term of any Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan and the date thereof, and shall deliver to the Custodian for deposit in the related Mortgage File, an original counterpart of the agreement relating to such modification, waiver, material consent or amendment, promptly (and in any event within 10 Business Days) following the execution thereof.

 

(g)        The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may (subject to the Servicing Standard), as a condition to granting any request by a Borrower for consent, modification, waiver or indulgence or any other matter or thing, the granting of which is within its discretion pursuant to the terms of the instruments evidencing or securing the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan and is permitted by the terms of this Agreement and applicable law, require that such Borrower pay to it (i) as additional servicing compensation, a reasonable and customary fee for the additional services performed in connection with such request (provided that the charging of such fee would not constitute a “significant modification”  of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b)), and (ii) any related costs and expenses incurred by it.  In no event shall the Master Servicer or the 

 

 



    -287-


     

    

 

Special Servicer be entitled to payment for such fees or expenses unless such payment is collected from the related Borrower.

 

(h)          Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall not permit the substitution of any Mortgaged Property pursuant to the defeasance provisions of any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan (or any portion thereof), if any, unless such defeasance complies with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8) and satisfies the conditions set forth in Section 3.09(f) of this Agreement.

 

(i)       Notwithstanding anything herein or in the related Loan Documents to the contrary, the Master Servicer may permit the substitution of direct, non-callable “government securities”  within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, or any other securities that comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii) (including U.S. government agency securities if such securities are eligible defeasance collateral under then current guidelines of the Rating Agencies) for any Mortgaged Property pursuant to the defeasance provisions of any Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan (or any portion thereof) in lieu of the defeasance collateral specified in the related Loan Documents; provided that, the Master Servicer reasonably determines that allowing their use would not cause a default or event of default under the related Loan Documents to become reasonably foreseeable and the Master Servicer receives an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the Borrower to the extent permitted under the Loan Documents) to the effect that such use would not be and would not constitute a “significant modification”  of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) and would not otherwise cause an Adverse REMIC Event and provided that the requirements set forth in Section 3.09(f) of this Agreement are satisfied.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to all of the Mortgage Loans originated, co-originated or acquired by GSMC that are subject to defeasance (other than the Mortgage Loans identified as Loan No. 9 (525 Market Street) on the Mortgage Loan Schedule), GSMC has transferred to a third party or has retained on behalf of itself or an Affiliate the right to establish or designate the successor borrower and/or to purchase or cause to be purchased the related defeasance collateral (any such right or obligation, the “Retained Defeasance Rights and Obligations” ).  In the event the Master Servicer receives notice of a defeasance request with respect to a Mortgage Loan for which GSMC is the related Mortgage Loan Seller, which such Mortgage Loan provides for Retained Defeasance Rights and Obligations in the related Mortgage Loan documents, the Master Servicer shall provide, within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such notice, written notice of such defeasance request to GSMC, as applicable, in the case of any such Mortgage Loan for which GSMC is the related Mortgage Loan Seller. Until such time as GSMC provides the Master Servicer with written notice to the contrary, the notice of a defeasance of a Mortgage Loan with Retained Defeasance Rights and Obligations as to which GSMC is the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall be delivered to Goldman Sachs Mortgage Company, 200 West Street, New York, New York 10282, Attention: Leah Nivison, e-mail: leah.nivison@gs.com.  With respect to any Mortgage Loan originated or acquired by GSMC, that is subject to defeasance, if the successor borrower is not designated or formed by GSMC, as the case may be, or any Affiliate or successor thereto, the successor borrower shall be reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

 



    -288-


     

    

 

(j)         If required under the related Loan Documents or if otherwise consistent with the Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more accounts, which may be sub-accounts of the Collection Account (the “Defeasance Accounts” ), into which all payments received by the Master Servicer from any defeasance collateral substituted for any Mortgaged Property shall be deposited and retained, and shall administer such Defeasance Accounts in accordance with the Loan Documents.  Each Defeasance Account shall at all times be an Eligible Account.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Master Servicer permit such amounts to be maintained in the Defeasance Account for a period in excess of 12 months, unless such amounts are reinvested by the Master Servicer in “government securities”  within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, or any other securities that comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii).  To the extent not required or permitted to be placed in a separate account, the Master Servicer shall deposit all payments received by it from defeasance collateral substituted for any Mortgaged Property into the Collection Account or, if a Serviced Whole Loan is involved, the Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account and treat any such payments as payments made on the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, in advance of its Due Date in accordance with clause (a) of the definition of Principal Distribution Amount, and not as a prepayment of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Master Servicer permit such amounts to be maintained in the Collection Account or, if a Serviced Whole Loan is involved, the Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account for a period in excess of 365 days.

 

(k)        Any right to take any action, grant or withhold any consent or otherwise exercise any right, election or remedy afforded the Directing Holder under this Agreement may, unless otherwise expressly provided herein to the contrary, be affirmatively waived by the Directing Holder by written notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable.  Upon delivery of any such notice of waiver given by the Directing Holder, any time period (exclusive or otherwise) afforded the Directing Holder to exercise any such right, make any such election or grant or withhold any such consent shall thereupon be deemed to have expired with the same force and effect as if the specific time period set forth in this Agreement applicable thereto had itself expired.  If the Master Servicer or Special Servicer determines that a refusal to consent by the Directing Holder or any advice from the Directing Holder would cause the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, to violate applicable law, the terms of the applicable Loan Documents, any related Intercreditor Agreements, the REMIC Provisions or the terms of this Agreement, including without limitation, the Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall disregard such refusal to consent or advice and notify the Directing Holder, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder (if any) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement) of its determination, including a reasonably detailed explanation of the basis therefor.

 

(l)         Any modification, waiver or amendment of, or consents or approvals relating to, a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan that is a Specially Serviced Loan or Serviced REO Loan (i) shall be performed by the Special Servicer and not the Master Servicer, (ii) to the extent provided in this Agreement and/or the applicable Intercreditor Agreement, shall be subject to the consent of the related Directing Holder and (iii) shall be structured so as to be

 



    -289-


     

    

 

consistent with the allocation and payment priorities in the related Loan Documents and Intercreditor Agreement, if any, such that neither the Trust as holder of the Mortgage Loan nor a holder of any related Serviced Companion Loan gains a priority over the other such holder that is not reflected in the related Loan Documents and Intercreditor Agreement. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall enter into, or structure (including, without limitation, by way of the application of credits, discounts, forgiveness or otherwise), any modification, waiver, amendment, work-out, consent or approval with respect to any Mortgage Loan in a manner that would be inconsistent with the allocation and payment priorities set forth in Section 1.02(e) hereof or in the related Intercreditor Agreement.

 

(m)       In addition, with respect to a Performing Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), the Master Servicer, prior to taking action with respect to any Special Servicer Major Decision or Special Servicer Non-Major Decision (or making a determination not to take action with respect to a Special Servicer Major Decision or Special Servicer Non-Major Decision), shall refer the request to the Special Servicer, which shall process the request directly or, if mutually agreed to by the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer shall (subject to the consent of the Special Servicer) process such request.  If the Master Servicer processes such request and is recommending approval of such request, the Master Servicer shall prepare and submit its written recommendation and analysis to the Special Servicer with all information in the Master Servicer’s possession or reasonably available to the Master Servicer that the Special Servicer may reasonably request in order to withhold or grant its consent, and in all cases the Special Servicer shall be entitled (subject to the consultation rights of the Risk Retention Consultation Parties or the consent or consultation rights of the Directing Holder pursuant to Section 6.07) to approve or disapprove any modification, waiver or amendment that constitutes a Special Servicer Major Decision or Special Servicer Non-Major Decision.  When the Special Servicer’s consent is required hereunder, such consent shall be deemed given 15 Business Days, or such longer time period pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement but not less than five (5) Business Days after the time period set forth therein for Directing Holder approval, (or in connection with an Acceptable Insurance Default, 90 days) after receipt (unless earlier objected to) by the Special Servicer from the Master Servicer of the Master Servicer’s written analysis and recommendation with respect to such proposed Special Servicer Major Decision or Special Servicer Non-Major Decision together with such other information reasonably requested by the Special Servicer and reasonably available to the Master Servicer.  Other than during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, neither the Master Servicer (with respect to any Major Decision processed by the Master Servicer) nor the Special Servicer (with respect to any Major Decision processed by the Special Servicer) will be permitted to take any action constituting a Major Decision, as to which the Directing Holder has objected in writing within 10 Business Days (or, in connection with an Acceptable Insurance Default, 30 days) after receipt by the Directing Holder of the Master Servicer’s and/or Special Servicer’s, as applicable, written analysis and recommendation together with such other information reasonably requested by the Directing Holder; provided that if such written objection has not been received by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, within such 10-Business Day (or 30-day) period, the Directing Holder will be deemed to have approved such action.

 

(n)        The Master Servicer shall provide the Special Servicer with any notice that it receives relating to a default by the borrower under a ground lease where the collateral for

 



    -290-


     

    

 

the Mortgage Loan includes the ground lease, and the Special Servicer will determine in accordance with the Servicing Standard whether to cure any borrower defaults relating to ground leases.

 

(o)        With respect to any Borrower request or other action on a non-Specially Serviced Loan that is not a Major Decision or a Special Servicer Non-Major Decision, the Master Servicer shall not be required to obtain the consent of or consult with the Special Servicer or the Directing Holder.

 

Section 3.27   Certain Intercreditor Matters Relating to the Whole Loans. (a)  With respect to Serviced Whole Loans, except for those duties to be performed by, and notices to be furnished by, the Trustee under this Agreement, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall perform such duties and furnish such notices, reports and information on behalf of the Trust Fund as may be the obligation of the Trust, or the obligation of the master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable, following securitization, under the related Intercreditor Agreement.

 

(b)        The Master Servicer shall maintain a register (the “Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder Register” ) on which the Master Servicer shall record the names and addresses of the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders and wire transfer instructions for such Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders from time to time, to the extent such information is provided in writing to the Master Servicer by a Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder.  Each Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder has agreed to inform the Master Servicer of its name, address, taxpayer identification number and wiring instructions (to the extent the foregoing information is not already contained in the related Intercreditor Agreement) and of any transfer thereof (together with any instruments of transfer).  The name and address of each initial Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder as of the Closing Date is set forth on Schedule VII hereto.  The Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon the information delivered by any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder until it receives notice of transfer or of any change in information.

 

In no event shall the Master Servicer be obligated to pay any party the amounts payable to a Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder hereunder other than the Person listed as the applicable Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder on the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder Register.  In the event that a Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder transfers the related Serviced Companion Loan without notice to the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer shall have no liability whatsoever for any misdirected payment on such Serviced Companion Loan and shall have no obligation to recover and redirect such payment.

 

The Master Servicer shall promptly provide the names and addresses of any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder to any party hereto, any related Companion Loan Noteholder or any successor thereto upon written request, and any such party or successor may, without further investigation, conclusively rely upon such information.  The Master Servicer shall have no liability to any Person for the provision of any such names and addresses.

 

(c)        The Directing Holder shall not owe any fiduciary duty to the Trustee, any Master Servicer, any Special Servicer, any Certificateholder (including the Directing Holder, if applicable) or any noteholder of a Serviced Whole Loan.  The Directing Holder will not have

 



    -291-


     

    

 

any liability to the Certificateholders (including the Directing Holder, if applicable) or any other noteholder of a Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action or the giving of any consent, pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment.

 

(d)        With respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the Directing Holder shall be entitled to exercise the consent rights, cure rights and purchase rights, as applicable, to the extent set forth in the applicable Intercreditor Agreement, in accordance with the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement.

 

(e)        The Special Servicer (if any Serviced Companion Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan or has become a Serviced REO Loan) or the Master Servicer (otherwise), as applicable, shall take all actions relating to the servicing and/or administration of, and (subject to Section 3.13 and Section 3.17 of this Agreement and the following paragraph) the preparation and delivery of reports and other information with respect to, the Serviced Whole Loan related to any Serviced Companion Loan or any related Serviced REO Property required to be performed by the holder of the related Mortgage Loan or contemplated to be performed by a servicer, in any case pursuant to and as required by each related Intercreditor Agreement and/or any related mezzanine intercreditor agreement existing on the Closing Date and any related Intercreditor Agreement or mezzanine intercreditor agreement not existing on the Closing Date that is provided to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable.  In addition notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the following considerations shall apply with respect to the servicing of a Serviced Companion Loan:

 

(i)          none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee shall make any P&I Advance with respect to the Serviced Companion Loan; and

 

(ii)         the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each consult with and obtain the consent of the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder(s) to the extent required by the related Intercreditor Agreement.

 

The Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall timely provide to each related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder any reports or notices required to be delivered to such Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement, and the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide to the Chase Center Tower Loan-Specific Directing Holder any reports or notices required to be delivered to the holder of a Trust Subordinate Companion Loan pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement.  The Special Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with the Master Servicer and the Master Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with the Special Servicer in preparing/delivering any such report or notice with respect to special servicing matters.

 

If any Serviced Companion Loan or any portion thereof or any particular payments thereon are included in a REMIC or a “grantor trust”  (within the meaning of the Grantor Trust Provisions), then neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall knowingly take any action that would result in the equivalent of an Adverse REMIC Event with respect to such REMIC or adversely affect the tax status of such grantor trust as a grantor trust.

The parties hereto acknowledge that a Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder shall not (1) owe any fiduciary duty to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or any Certificateholder or (2) have any liability to the Trustee or the Certificateholders for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement or the giving of any consent or for errors in judgment. Each Certificateholder, by its acceptance of a Certificate, shall be deemed to have confirmed its understanding that a Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder (i) may take or refrain from taking actions that favor its interests or the interests of its affiliates over the Certificateholders, (ii) may have special relationships and interests that conflict with the interests of the Certificateholders and shall be deemed to have agreed to take no action against a Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder or any of its officers, directors, employees, principals or agents as a result of such special relationships or conflicts and (iii) shall not be liable by reason of its having acted or refrained from acting solely in its interest or in the interest of its affiliates.

 

The parties hereto recognize and acknowledge the respective rights of each Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder under the related Intercreditor Agreement. Each of the rights of a Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder under or contemplated by this Section 3.27(e) may be exercisable by a designee thereof on its behalf; provided that the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee are provided with written notice by the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder of such designation (upon which such party may conclusively rely) and the contact details of the designee.

 

Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Intercreditor Agreement to the contrary, no direction or objection by the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder may require or cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to violate any provision of any Mortgage Loan, applicable law, this Agreement, any Intercreditor Agreement or the REMIC Provisions, including without limitation the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard, or expose the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, a Mortgage Loan Seller, the Paying Agent, the Trust Fund, the Certificate Administrator (in any of its capacities) or the Trustee to liability, or materially expand the scope of the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s responsibilities hereunder.

 

Any reference to servicing any of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with any of the related Loan Documents (including the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage) shall also mean, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement.

 

To the extent not
otherwise expressly included herein, any provisions required to be included herein pursuant to any Intercreditor Agreement for
a Serviced Whole Loan or a Non-Serviced Whole Loan are deemed incorporated herein by reference, and the parties hereto shall comply
with those provisions as if set forth herein in full.  

 

For purposes of exercising any rights that the Directing Holder of the Mortgage Note for any Mortgage Loan in a Serviced Whole Loan may have under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the Directing Holder shall be the designee of the Trust, as such noteholder, and the Trustee shall, upon request, take such actions as may be necessary under the related Intercreditor Agreement to effect such designation. The Certificate Administrator shall provide notice of the identity of the Directing Holder (to the extent the Certificate Administrator has received notice of


 



    -293-


     

    

 


a change in the identity of the Directing Holder), upon request, to the other parties to the related Intercreditor Agreement, to the extent the identity and contact information of such parties to such Intercreditor Agreement are actually known to the Certificate Administrator.

 

(f)         With respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall deliver information comparable to the above described information in Section 3.13(c) and Section 3.13(d) hereof to the same Persons as described above in Section 3.13(c) and Section 3.13(d) and according to the same time frames as described above in Section 3.13(c) and Section 3.13(d), to the extent such Master Servicer has timely received such information from the Other Servicer under the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Promptly following the Closing Date or, as applicable, upon the receipt of notice by the Certificate Administrator of the related Servicing Shift Securitization Date, the Certificate Administrator shall send written notice (which notice may be by email) substantially in the form of Exhibit EE hereto, accompanied by a copy of an executed version of this Agreement, with respect to each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan to each applicable Other Depositor, Other Servicer, Other Special Servicer, Other Trustee, Other Operating Advisor and Other Asset Representations Reviewer stating that, as of the Closing Date, the Trustee is the holder of the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and directing each such recipient to remit to the Master Servicer no later than one (1) Business Day after each Determination Date all amounts payable to, and to forward, deliver or otherwise make available, as the case may be, to the Master Servicer no later than one (1) Business Day after each Determination Date all reports, statements, documents, communications and other information that are to be forwarded, delivered or otherwise made available to, the holder of the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan under the related Intercreditor Agreement and Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Such notice shall also provide contact information for the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Directing Holder, the 17g-5 Information Provider and the Rating Agencies.

 

With respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if the applicable Other Servicer, Other Special Servicer or Other Trustee shall be replaced in accordance with the terms of the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, promptly upon notice thereof, the applicable party to this Agreement that receives such notice shall, upon request, acknowledge such successor as the successor to the Other Servicer, Other Special Servicer or Other Trustee, as the case may be.

 

With respect to a
Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, upon its receipt of written notice of the replacement of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer
or the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator shall give prompt written notice thereof to each related Other Servicer, Other Special
Servicer, Other Trustee and Other Operating Advisor, together with relevant contact information of the successor Master Servicer,
Special Servicer or Trustee, as applicable.  

 

With respect to each Serviced Whole Loan, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide each Companion Loan Noteholder and, if applicable, related Non-Directing Holder (or its designee or representative), within the same time frame and to the same extent it is required to provide such information and materials to the Certificateholders or the Directing Holder, as applicable (but without regard to whether or not the Directing Holder actually has lost any rights to receive such information as a result of a


 



    -294-


     

    

 


Consultation Termination Event), hereunder with (1) copies of each financial statement received by the Master Servicer pursuant to the terms of the related Loan Documents, (2) copies of any notice of default sent to the Borrower and (3) subject to the terms of the Loan Documents, copies of any other documents or information relating to the Serviced Whole Loan (including, without limitation, property inspection reports, loan servicing statements, Borrower requests and asset status reports) that the Master Servicer delivers to the related Directing Holder and copies of any other notice, information or report that it is required to provide to the Directing Holder pursuant to this Agreement with respect to any Major Decision or with respect to any “major decisions”  or “major actions”  as set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report relating to such Serviced Whole Loan. Any copies to be furnished by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may be furnished by hard copy or electronic means.

 

(g)        With respect to each Whole Loan, if any Serviced Companion Loan 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 Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Custodian shall reasonably cooperate with the Other Asset Representations Reviewer or any other party to the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement in connection with such asset review by providing the Other Asset Representations Reviewer or such other requesting party with any documents reasonably requested by the Other Asset Representations Reviewer or such other requesting party (not at its own expense or the expense of the Trust but at the expense of the related mortgage loan seller, such Other Asset Representations Reviewer or such other requesting party to the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement), but only to the extent that (i) Other Asset Representations Reviewer or such other requesting party has not been able to obtain such documents from the related mortgage loan seller or any party to the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and (ii) such documents are in the possession of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Custodian, as the case may be. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Custodian (i) shall have any further obligations with respect to any such asset review nor shall any such party be bound by the results of any such asset review, or (ii) shall be obligated to provide such documents if providing such documents, in its reasonable determination, would be a violation of this Agreement or any related Intercreditor Agreement.

 

(h)       
To the extent that the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement or Intercreditor Agreement relating to any Non-Serviced Whole Loan
permits the holder of the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan to terminate the related Other Servicer or Other Special Servicer
or appoint a sub-servicer or replacement therefor, the Trustee may, and at the written direction of the Holders of at least 25%
of the aggregate Voting Rights of all Certificates (or the Depositor with respect to any such right arising from such Other Servicer’s
or Other Special Servicer’s failure to comply with Exchange Act reporting obligations) upon five (5) Business Days’
notice, shall, exercise the right to terminate the related Other Servicer or Other Special Servicer or appoint a sub-servicer
or replacement therefor, as applicable.  

 

(i)         To the extent of any conflict between this Agreement and any Intercreditor Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall control.

the Special Servicer shall, not more frequently than once per month, without charge, make a knowledgeable Servicing Officer via
telephone available during normal business hours to verbally answer questions from the Directing Holder (for so long as no Consultation
Termination Event is continuing) regarding the performance and servicing of the Mortgage Loans and/or REO Properties for which
the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, is responsible.

 

Section 3.29    
Controlling Class Certificateholders, the Directing Holder and the Risk Retention Consultation Parties; Certain Rights and
Powers of the Directing Holder and the Risk Retention Consultation Parties.  (a) Each Certificateholder and Certificate
Owner of a Control Eligible Certificate is hereby deemed to have agreed by virtue of its purchase of such Certificate (or beneficial
ownership interest in such Certificate) to provide its name and address to the Certificate Registrar and to notify the Certificate
Registrar of the transfer of any Control Eligible Certificate (or the beneficial ownership of any Control Eligible Certificate),
the selection of a Directing Holder or the resignation or removal thereof. Any such Certificateholder (or Certificate Owner) or
its designee at any time appointed Directing Holder is hereby deemed to have agreed by virtue of its purchase of a Control Eligible
Certificate (or the beneficial ownership interest in a Control Eligible Certificate) to notify the Certificate Registrar when
such Certificateholder (or Certificate Owner) or designee is appointed Directing Holder and when it is removed or resigns. Upon
receipt of such notice, the Certificate Registrar shall notify the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator,
the Depositor, the Trustee, each Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder of the identity of the Directing Holder, any resignation or
removal thereof and/or any new Holder or Certificate Owner of a Control Eligible Certificate.

 

On the Closing Date,
the initial Directing Holder shall execute a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit L-1G to this Agreement.
Upon the resignation or removal of the existing Directing Holder, any successor Directing Holder shall also execute and deliver
a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit L-1G to this Agreement to the parties to this Agreement prior to being
recognized as the new Directing Holder. Upon the resignation or removal of any existing Risk Retention Consultation Party, any
successor Risk Retention Consultation Party shall execute and deliver a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit
L-1H to this Agreement prior to being recognized as the new Risk Retention Consultation Party. The parties hereto shall be
entitled to assume that the Risk Retention Consultation Party has not changed absent such notice.  

 

In addition, upon the request of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or, for so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, the Directing Holder, the Certificate Registrar shall promptly (but no later than five (5) Business Days after such request) provide to the requesting party the identity of the then-current Controlling Class and a list of the Holders of Certificates of the Controlling Class. However, if any Certificate of the Controlling Class is a Global Certificate, then the Certificate Administrator shall promptly (but in no event more than five (5) Business Days following such request) request from the Depository, with the assistance of the Trustee, the list of Depository Participants for the Controlling Class and make reasonable efforts to obtain a list of Certificate Owners from such Depository Participants, and the Certificate Administrator shall provide such


 



    -296-


     

    

 


list of Depository Participants and such list of Certificate Owners (to the extent the Certificate Administrator obtains such list of Certificate Owners), to the requesting party promptly upon receipt. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the list of Depository Participants for the Controlling Class provided by the Depository and the list of Certificate Owners provided by any Depository Participant and shall not have any liability for such reliance; provided that, if any Certificate of the Controlling Class is a Global Certificate and the Certificate Administrator has actual knowledge of the identity of the related Certificate Owners, then the Certificate Administrator shall include such Certificate Owner in the list provided to any requesting party pursuant to first sentence of this paragraph. The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Directing Holder shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any such information so provided. Any expenses incurred in connection with obtaining such information shall be at the expense of the requesting party, except that if (i) such expenses arise in connection with an event as to which the Directing Holder has review, consent or consultation rights with respect to an action taken by, or report prepared by, the requesting party pursuant to this Agreement or the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement and (ii) the requesting party has not been notified of the identity of the Directing Holder or reasonably believes that the identity of the Directing Holder has changed, then such expenses shall be at the expense of the Trust.

 

To the extent the Master Servicer has actual knowledge of any change in the identity of a Holder (or Certificate Owners) of the Controlling Class, then the Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Special Servicer thereof, who may rely conclusively on such notice from the Master Servicer.

 

(b)       
As of the Closing Date, there shall be no initial Directing Holder with respect to (i) clause (b) of the definition of “Directing
Holder”  and (ii) clause (c) of the definition of the “Directing Holder” . The Certificate Registrar shall be
entitled to assume any Directing Holder under clause (b) of the definition of “Directing Holder”  selected in accordance
with this Agreement and notified to the Certificate Registrar thereof in writing, is the Directing Holder appointed by the Holder
(or Certificate Owner) of each Class of Control Eligible Certificates, until the Certificate Registrar receives (i) written notice
of a replacement Directing Holder from a majority of the Controlling Class Certificateholders by Certificate Balance, (ii) written
notice from a majority of the Controlling Class Certificateholders, by Certificate Balance, that a Directing Holder is no longer
designated, (iii) written notice from a Directing Holder of the resignation of such Directing Holder, or (iv) written notice that
the Holder (or Certificate Owner) of a majority of the applicable Class of Control Eligible Certificates is no longer the Holder
(or Certificate Owner) of a majority of the applicable Class of Control Eligible Certificates due to a transfer of those Certificates
(or a beneficial ownership interest in those Certificates). Upon the resignation of a Directing Holder, the Certificate Administrator
shall request the Controlling Class Certificateholders to select a new Directing Holder.  

 

In the event either (y) the Certificate Registrar receives notice identified in any of clause (ii) through (iv) of the immediately preceding paragraph and no successor Directing Holder is then identified to the Certificate Registrar or (z) a party to this Agreement requests from the Certificate Administrator the identity of the Directing Holder and such identity is not known to the Certificate Administrator, then the Certificate Administrator shall promptly deliver a notice of such event (the “Initial Notice” ) to all the Certificateholders via the Depository (and a


 



    -297-


     

    

 


copy of such Initial Notice shall be simultaneously sent to each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee), which notice shall include a request that the Controlling Class Certificateholder that believes it may own the largest aggregate Certificate Balance of the Controlling Class represent in writing to the Certificate Administrator that it owns the largest aggregate Certificate Balance of the Controlling Class (with evidence of its ownership) and provide its contact information. Upon receipt of such written representation (and any subsequent written representation), the Certificate Administrator shall deliver a notice (the “Subsequent Notice” ) to all the Certificateholders via the Depository of such representation (and a copy of such Subsequent Notice shall be simultaneously sent to each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee) and so long as another party holding an equal or larger aggregate Certificate Balance of the Controlling Class does not provide a written representation within thirty (30) days from the date of delivery of the latest Subsequent Notice, the party making the original assertion shall become the Controlling Class Certificateholder until replaced by another party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Controlling Class Certificateholder(s) providing notice that it (or they) are the Holders of a majority of the Controlling Class Certificateholders, by Certificate Balance, shall have the right to select the Directing Holder at any time without regard to such 30-day period, and a Directing Holder selected by the Holders of a majority of the Controlling Class Certificateholders, by Certificate Balance, shall be recognized as such immediately upon being selected in accordance with this Agreement whether or not such 30-day period has expired.

 

In the event that a Directing Holder is selected pursuant to this Section 3.29(b) or there is deemed to be no Directing Holder pursuant to this (b), the Certificate Registrar shall notify the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor and the Trustee of the identity of the new Directing Holder or the absence of a Directing Holder, as applicable.

 

At any time more
than 50% of the Percentage Interest of the Controlling Class Certificateholders direct the Certificate Administrator in writing
to hold an election for a Directing Holder, the Certificate Administrator shall hold such election as soon as practicable at the
expense of such requesting Certificateholders.  

 

(c)        The Master Servicer, Special Servicer and Trustee shall be entitled to request that the Certificate Administrator provide, and the Certificate Administrator shall promptly (but no later than five (5) Business Days after such request) provide (i) for so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, the identity of the Directing Holder, including names and contact information and, to the extent reasonably available, a list of Controlling Class Certificateholders and (ii) confirmation as to whether a Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event has occurred in the 12 months preceding any such request or any other period specified in such request. In addition to the foregoing, (i) within two (2) Business Days of receiving notice of the selection of a new Directing Holder or the existence of a new Controlling Class Certificateholder or Chase Center Tower Controlling Class Certificateholder or (ii) within ten (10) days of the commencement or cessation of any Consultation Termination Event or Control Termination Event, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer and post notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website. Any expenses incurred in connection with obtaining such information shall be at the expense of the requesting party, except that if (i) such expenses arise


 



    -298-


     

    

 


in connection with an event as to which the Directing Holder has review, consent or consultation rights with respect to an action taken by, or report prepared by, the requesting party pursuant to this Agreement or the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement and (ii) the requesting party has not been notified of the identity of the Directing Holder or reasonably believes that the identity of the Directing Holder has changed, then such expenses shall be at the expense of the Trust.

 

At any time that a party to this Agreement receives notice of the selection of a Directing Holder from the Certificate Registrar, the Certificate Administrator or a majority of the Controlling Class Certificateholders or Chase Center Tower Controlling Class Certificateholders, as applicable, by Certificate Balance, then such party to this Agreement shall be entitled to rely on the most recent notification with respect to the identity of the Controlling Class Certificateholder or Chase Center Tower Controlling Class Certificateholder, as applicable, and the Directing Holder. The Special Servicer shall have no obligation to obtain the consent of or consult with any entity appointed as a successor Directing Holder until the Special Servicer receives written notice of such successor Directing Holder’s identity and contact information.

 

Additionally, once a successor Risk Retention Consultation Party has been selected, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each other Certificateholder (or Certificate Owner, if applicable) shall be entitled to rely on such selection unless the VRR Interest Owners or UBR-VRR Interest entitled to appoint the Risk Retention Consultation Parties, by Certificate Balance, or such Risk Retention Consultation Party shall have notified the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each other VRR Interest Owner (except in the case of the UBR-VRR Interest), in writing, of the selection of a new Risk Retention Consultation Party.

 

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

 

(e)        Each Certificateholder or RR Interest Owner acknowledges and agrees, by its acceptance of its Certificates or RR Interest, that: (i) the Directing Holder may have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of Holders of one or more Classes of Certificates or the RR Interest or Companion Loan Noteholders; (ii) the Directing Holder may act solely in the interests of the Holders of the Controlling Class (or, in the case of a Whole Loan, in the interests of one or more Companion Loan Noteholders); (iii) the Directing Holder does not have any liability or duties to the Holders of any Class of Certificates other than the Controlling Class; (iv) the Directing Holder may take actions that favor the interests of the Directing Holder or one or more Classes of the Certificates including the Holders of the Controlling Class (or, in the case of a Whole Loan, one or more Companion Loan Noteholders) over the interests of the Holders of one or more Classes of Certificates and other Companion Loan Noteholders; and (v) the Directing Holder shall have no liability whatsoever to any Certificateholder, the RR Interest Owner, the Trust, any Companion Loan Noteholder any party hereto or any other Person (including any Borrower under a Mortgage Loan) for having so acted as set forth in clauses (i) through (v) of this paragraph, and no Certificateholder, RR Interest Owner or Companion Loan Noteholder may take any action whatsoever against the Directing Holder or any director, officer, employee, agent or principal thereof for having so acted.

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

 

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

 

(g)       
The Directing Holder shall not have any consent or consultation rights with respect to any Mortgage Loan determined to be an Excluded
Loan as to either the Directing Holder or, except in the case of any Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan, the related Holder of the
majority of the Controlling Class. Likewise, a Risk Retention Consultation Party shall not have any consultation rights with respect
to any Mortgage Loan determined to be an Excluded Loan as to such Risk Retention Consultation Party. In the case of an Excluded
Loan relating to the Directing Holder, in respect of the servicing of any such Excluded Loan, a Control Termination Event and
Consultation Termination Event will be deemed to have occurred with respect to such Excluded Loan.  

 

Section 3.30    
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 Rating Agency Confirmation as a
condition precedent to such action, if the party (the “Requesting Party” )
attempting and/or required to obtain such Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency has made a request to any Rating
Agency for such Rating Agency Confirmation and, within 10 Business Days of the Rating Agency Confirmation request being posted
to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website, such Rating Agency has not replied to such request or has responded in a manner
that indicates that such Rating Agency is neither reviewing such request nor waiving the requirement for Rating Agency Confirmation,
then such Requesting Party shall be required to confirm (through direct communication and not by posting any confirmation on the
17g-5 Information Provider’s Website) that the applicable Rating Agency has received the Rating


 



    -300-


     

    

 


Agency Confirmation request, and, if it has not, promptly request the related Rating Agency Confirmation again (which may also be through direct communication). The circumstances described in the preceding sentence are referred to in this Agreement as a “RAC No-Response Scenario.”  Once the Requesting Party has sent a request for a Rating Agency Confirmation to the 17g-5 Information Provider, such Requesting Party, may, but shall not be obligated to send such request directly to the Rating Agencies in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.14.

 

If there is no response
to such Rating Agency Confirmation request within 5 Business Days of such second request in a RAC No Response Scenario or if such
Rating Agency has responded in a manner that indicates such Rating Agency is neither reviewing such request nor waiving the requirement
for Rating Agency Confirmation, then (x) with respect to any condition in any Mortgage Loan document requiring such Rating Agency
Confirmation or with respect to any other matter under this Agreement relating to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans or the Trust
Subordinate Companion Loans (other than as set forth in clause (y) below), the requirement
to obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation shall be deemed not to apply (as if such requirement did not exist) with respect to such
Rating Agency and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may then take such action if the Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer, as applicable, confirms its original determination (made prior to making such request) that taking the
action with respect to which it requested the Rating Agency Confirmation would still be consistent with the Servicing Standard,
(y) with respect to a replacement of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, such condition shall be deemed not to apply (as
if such requirement did not exist) if (i)(a) it has been appointed and currently serves as a master servicer or special servicer,
as applicable, on a transaction-level basis on a CMBS transaction currently rated by Moody’s that currently has securities
outstanding and (b) it is not a master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, that has been publicly cited by Moody’s
as having servicing concerns as the sole or material factor in any qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of the ratings (or placement
on “watch status”  in contemplation of a rating downgrade or withdrawal) of securities rated by Moody’s in
a CMBS transaction serviced by the applicable replacement master servicer or special servicer prior to the time of determination,
if Moody’s is the non-responding Rating Agency, (ii) the applicable replacement master servicer or special servicer is
rated at least “CMS3”  (in the case of the master servicer) or “CSS3”  (in the case of the special servicer),
if Fitch is the non-responding Rating Agency, and (iii) with respect to DBRS Morningstar, the replacement servicer or special
servicer, as applicable, is currently acting as a servicer or special servicer, as applicable, on a transaction-level basis on
a CMBS transaction currently rated by DBRS Morningstar that currently has securities outstanding and for which 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 securities rated by DBRS Morningstar in a commercial mortgage-backed securitization transaction
rated by DBRS Morningstar and serviced by the applicable replacement servicer or special servicer, as applicable, prior to the
time of determination.  

 

Any Rating Agency Confirmation request made by the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, Certificate Administrator or Trustee, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement, shall be made in writing, which writing shall contain a cover page indicating the nature of the Rating Agency Confirmation request, and shall contain all back-up material 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 3.14(d) of this Agreement.

 

Promptly following the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s determination to take any action discussed in this Section 3.30(a) following any requirement to obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation being deemed not to apply (as if such requirement did not exist), the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall provide electronic written notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider of the action taken for the particular item at such time, and the 17g-5 Information Provider shall post such notice on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement.

 

(b)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.30, for purposes of the provisions of any Loan Document relating to defeasance (including without limitation the type of collateral acceptable for use as defeasance collateral), release or substitution of any collateral, in the event of a RAC No-Response Scenario, any Rating Agency Confirmation requirement in the Loan Documents with respect to which the Master Servicer or Special Servicer would have been required to make the determination described in Section 3.30(a) (as a result of such RAC No-Response Scenario) shall be deemed not to apply regardless of any such determination by the Requesting Party (or, if the Requesting Party is the related Borrower, the Master Servicer (with respect to Performing Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and Serviced REO Loans), as applicable); provided that the Requesting Party (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable) shall in any event review the other conditions required under the related Loan Documents with respect to such defeasance, release or substitution and confirm to its satisfaction in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such conditions (other than the requirement for a Rating Agency Confirmation) have been satisfied.

 

(c)       
For all other matters or actions not specifically discussed in Section 3.30(a) above, the applicable Requesting Party shall
deliver a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency.  

 

(d)        Notwithstanding the terms of the related Loan Documents, the other provisions of this Agreement or the applicable Intercreditor Agreement, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan as to which there exists Serviced Companion Loan Securities, if any action relating to the servicing and administration of the related Whole Loan or any related REO Property (the “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 Serviced Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation as a condition precedent to such action from each related Serviced Companion Loan Rating Agency. Each Serviced Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation shall be sought by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, depending on whichever such party is seeking the corresponding Rating Agency Confirmation(s) in connection with the Relevant Action. The requirement to obtain a Serviced Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities will be subject to, will be permitted to be waived by the Master 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 Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, depending on which is seeking the subject Serviced Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation, shall forward to one or more of its counterparts (i.e., the Other Servicer or Other Special Servicer, as applicable), the Other 17g-5 Information Provider, or such other party or parties as are agreed to by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and the applicable parties for the related Other Securitization, at the expense of the Other Securitization to the extent not borne by the related Borrower, and in such format as the sender and recipient may reasonably agree, (i) the request for such Serviced Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation, (ii) all materials forwarded to the 17g-5 Information Provider under this Agreement in connection with seeking the Rating Agency Confirmation(s) for the applicable Relevant Action at approximately the same time that such materials are forwarded to the 17g-5 Information Provider and (iii) any other materials that the applicable Serviced Companion Loan Rating Agency may reasonably request in connection with such Serviced Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation promptly following receipt of such request from the Other Trustee.

 

The Certificate Administrator shall, promptly following receipt of written request from the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, provide to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, the contact information for the Other Servicer, the Other Special Servicer, the Other Trustee and the Other 17g-5 Information Provider for the Other Securitization, solely to the extent in its possession.

 

Section 3.31     [Reserved].

 

Section 3.32    
Delivery of Excluded Information to the Certificate Administrator.  

 

(a)        Any Excluded Information that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer identifies and delivers to the Certificate Administrator for posting to the Certificate Administrator’s Website shall be delivered to the Certificate Administrator via e-mail (or such other electronic means as is mutually acceptable to the parties) in one or more separate files labeled “Excluded Information”  followed by the applicable loan name and loan file to cmbsexcludedinformation@wellsfargo.com. For the avoidance of doubt, any information that is not appropriately labeled and delivered in accordance with this Section 3.32 shall not be separately posted as Excluded Information on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, and any information appropriately labeled and delivered to the Certificate Administrator pursuant to this Section shall be posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website under the “Excluded Information”  section, as provided under Section 4.02(b). When so posted, Excluded Controlling Class Holders shall be prohibited from the access of Excluded Information with respect to any Excluded Controlling Class Loans on the Certificate Administrator’s Website (unless loan-by-loan segregation is later performed by the Certificate Administrator in which case such access shall only be prohibited with respect to the related Excluded Controlling Class Loan(s)). None of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall have any obligations to separately label and deliver any Excluded Information in accordance with this Section 3.32 until such party has received notice with respect to the related Excluded Controlling Class Loan in the form of Exhibit L-1E to this Agreement. Nothing set forth in this Agreement shall prohibit the Directing Holder, any Controlling Class Certificateholder or any Chase Center Tower Controlling Class Certificateholder from receiving, requesting or reviewing any Excluded Information relating to any Excluded Controlling Class Loan with respect to which the Directing Holder or such


 



    -303-


     

    

 


Controlling Class Certificateholder is not a Borrower Party and, if such Excluded Information is not available on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, such Directing Holder or Controlling Class Certificateholder that is not a Borrower Party with respect to the related Excluded Controlling Class Loan shall be permitted to obtain such information upon reasonable request in accordance with Section 3.14(c) and the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, may require and rely on such certifications prior to releasing any such information.

 

Section 3.33     Certain Matters with Respect to Joint Mortgage Loans.

 

(a)        If a Mortgage Loan Seller of a Joint Mortgage Loan (a “Repurchasing Seller” ) repurchases, or substitutes for, the Note(s) (a “Repurchased Note” ) related to such Joint Mortgage Loan that it sold to the Depositor, but the other Mortgage Loan Seller of such Joint Mortgage Loan does not repurchase, or substitute for, the Note(s) related to such Joint Mortgage Loan that it sold to the Depositor, the provisions of this Section 3.33 shall apply prior to the adoption, pursuant to Section 12.08, of any amendment to this Agreement that provides otherwise. Each Mortgage Loan Seller of a Joint Mortgage Loan has agreed pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement that the terms set forth in this Section 3.33 with respect to the servicing and administration of such Joint Mortgage Loan shall apply if one or more of the Notes related to such Joint Mortgage Loan has been repurchased or, by way of substitution, otherwise removed from the Trust and at least one other Note related to such Joint Mortgage Loan is included in the Trust until such time as all of the Notes related to such Joint Mortgage Loan are no longer included in the Trust. For purposes of this Section 3.33 and Section 12.08 only, “Note” shall mean with respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan, each original promissory note and all allonges that collectively represents the Note with respect to such Joint Mortgage Loan and shall not be a collective reference to such promissory notes.

 

(b)       
Custody of and record title under the Loan Documents with respect to the applicable Joint Mortgage Loan shall be held exclusively
by the Trustee or the Custodian as provided under this Agreement, except that the Repurchasing Seller shall hold and retain title
to its original Repurchased Note and any related endorsements thereof.  

 

(i)         All of the Notes with respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan shall be of equal priority, and no portion of any Note shall have priority or preference over any other portion of the other Notes or security therefor. Payments from the related Borrower (including, without limitation, any late fees) or any other amounts received with respect to each Note shall be collected as provided in this Agreement by the Master Servicer and shall be applied upon receipt by the Master Servicer pro rata to each related Note based on its respective Repurchased Percentage Interest, subject to Section 3.33(b)(ii). Payments or any other amounts received with respect to the related Repurchased Note shall be held for the benefit of the applicable Repurchasing Seller and remitted (net of its pro rata share of any Master Servicing Fees, Special Servicing Fees and any other amounts due to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) to the applicable Repurchasing Seller or its designee by the Master Servicer on each Distribution Date pursuant to instructions provided by the applicable Repurchasing Seller and deposited and applied in accordance with this Agreement, subject to (ii). If any Joint Mortgage Loan to which this Section 3.33 applies becomes REO Loans, payments or any other amounts received with respect to any such Joint Mortgage Loan shall be collected and shall be applied upon receipt by the Master Servicer pro rata to each related Note based


 



    -304-


     

    

 


on its respective Repurchased Percentage Interest, subject to Section 3.33(b)(ii). Any Appraisal Reduction Amounts calculated with respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan subject to this Section 3.33 shall be allocated to each related Note pro rata based upon the respective Stated Principal Balances thereof.

 

(ii)        If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, receives an aggregate payment of less than the aggregate amount due under any such Joint Mortgage Loan at any particular time, the applicable Repurchasing Seller shall receive from the Master Servicer an amount equal to such Repurchasing Seller’s Repurchased Percentage Interest of such payment. All expenses, losses and shortfalls relating solely to such Joint Mortgage Loan including, without limitation, losses of principal or interest, Nonrecoverable Advances, interest on Advances, Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees and Liquidation Fees (including any such fees related to the applicable Notes), shall be allocated between the holders of the related Notes pro rata based upon the respective Stated Principal Balances thereof. In no event shall any costs, expenses, fees or any other amounts related to any Mortgage Loan or Joint Mortgage Loan other than the applicable Joint Mortgage Loan be deducted from payments or any other amounts received with respect to such Joint Mortgage Loan and payable to the applicable Repurchasing Seller. For purposes of (i), this (ii) and Section 3.33(g), “Repurchased Percentage Interest” shall mean the percentage interest of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller in the applicable Joint Mortgage Loan.

 

(iii)      
A Joint Mortgage Loan to which this Section 3.33 applies shall be serviced for the benefit
of the applicable Repurchasing Seller and the Certificateholders pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement in accordance
with the Servicing Standard and in accordance with the provisions herein as if (A) such Joint Mortgage Loan were a Serviced Loan
Combination, (B) the related Note(s) not repurchased were (1) a Mortgage Loan serviced pursuant to this Agreement and (2) the
only Mortgage Loan that is part of such Joint Mortgage Loan, and (C) the related Repurchased Note were a Serviced Companion Loan.
No Repurchasing Seller shall be permitted to terminate the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer as servicer or special servicer,
respectively, of the related Repurchased Note. All rights of the mortgagee under each such Joint Mortgage Loan shall be exercised
by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust to the extent of its interest therein and the applicable
Repurchasing Seller in accordance with this Agreement.  

 

(iv)       The related Repurchasing Seller shall be treated hereunder as if it were a Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder on a pari passu basis. Funds collected by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and applied to the applicable Notes shall be deposited and disbursed in accordance with the provisions hereof relating to Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders. Compensation shall be paid to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer with respect to each Repurchased Note as provided in this Agreement as if each such Note were a Serviced Companion Loan. None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall have any obligation to make P&I Advances with respect to any Repurchased Note or, if no related Note is part of the Trust, an Advance with respect to any Repurchased Note. Except as otherwise specified herein, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall


 



    -305-


     

    

 


have no reporting requirement with respect to any Repurchased Note other than to deliver to the related Repurchasing Seller any document as is required to be delivered to a Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder hereunder.

 

(c)        If any non-repurchased Note relating to a Joint Mortgage Loan to which this Section 3.33 applies is considered a Specially Serviced Loan, then any related Repurchased Note shall also be a Specially Serviced Loan under this Agreement. The Special Servicer shall cause such related Repurchased Note to be specially serviced for the benefit of the applicable Repurchasing Seller in accordance with the terms and provisions set forth in this Agreement and shall be entitled to any Special Servicing Fee, Workout Fee or Liquidation Fee payable to the Special Servicer under this Agreement as with respect to a Serviced Companion Loan.

 

(d)       
If (A) the Master Servicer shall pay any amount to any Repurchasing Seller pursuant to the terms hereof in the belief or expectation
that a related payment has been made or will be received or collected in connection with either or both of the applicable Notes
and (B) such related payment is not received or collected by the Master Servicer, then the applicable Repurchasing Seller shall
promptly on demand by the Master Servicer return such amount to the Master Servicer. If the Master Servicer determines at any
time that any amount received or collected by the Master Servicer in respect of any Joint Mortgage Loans to which this Section
3.33 applies must be returned to the related Borrower or paid to any other person or entity pursuant to any insolvency
law or otherwise, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall not be required to distribute
any portion thereof to the related Repurchasing Seller, and such Repurchasing Seller shall promptly on demand by the Master Servicer
repay (which obligation shall survive the termination of this Agreement) any portion thereof that the Master Servicer shall have
distributed to such Repurchasing Seller, together with interest thereon at such rate, if any, as the Master Servicer may pay to
the related Borrower or such other person or entity with respect thereto.  

 

(e)        Subject to this Agreement (including, without limitation, the consent and consultation rights of the Directing Holder), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, on behalf of the holders of any of the Repurchased Notes, shall have the exclusive right and obligation to (i) administer, service and make all decisions and determinations regarding the related Joint Mortgage Loan and (ii) enforce the applicable Loan Documents as provided hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may agree to any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of, forgive interest on and principal of, capitalize interest on, permit the release, addition or substitution of collateral securing, and/or permit the release of the related Borrower on or any guarantor of any Joint Mortgage Loan it is required to service and administer as contemplated by this Section 3.33, without the consent of the related Repurchasing Seller, subject, however, to the terms of this Agreement as they pertain to a Serviced Companion Loan.

 

(f)         In taking or refraining from taking any action permitted hereunder, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each be subject to the same degree of care with respect to the administration and servicing of the Joint Mortgage Loan to which this Section 3.33 applies as is consistent with this Agreement; and shall be liable to any Repurchasing Seller only to the same extent as set forth herein with respect to any holder of a Serviced Companion Loan.

 






    -306-


     

    

 

(g)        If the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer has made an Advance with respect to any Repurchased Note which would otherwise be reimbursable to such advancing party under this Agreement, and such Advance is determined to be a Nonrecoverable Advance, the applicable Repurchasing Seller shall reimburse the Trust in an amount equal to such Repurchasing Seller’s Repurchased Percentage Interest of such Nonrecoverable Advance with interest thereon; provided that, if the Repurchasing Seller does not reimburse the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, the Master Servicer shall reimburse the Trustee, itself and/or the Special Servicer, as applicable, for such amounts from the Collection Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the applicable Repurchasing Seller shall not be obligated to reimburse the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (and amounts due to the applicable Repurchasing Seller shall not be offset) for Advances or interest thereon or any amounts related to any Mortgage Loans or any other Joint Mortgage Loan other than such amounts relating to the applicable Repurchased Note. To the extent that the applicable Repurchasing Seller reimburses any such Nonrecoverable Advances and such amounts are subsequently recovered, the applicable Repurchasing Seller shall receive a reimbursement from such recovery based on its Repurchased Percentage Interest of such recovery. This reimbursement right shall not limit the Trustee’s, the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s rights to reimbursement under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the total liability of each Repurchasing Seller shall not exceed an amount equal to its Repurchased Percentage Interest of the amount to be reimbursed.

 

(h)       
Each Repurchasing Seller shall have the right to assign the related Repurchased Note; provided
that the assignee of the related Repurchased Note shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.  

 

(i)         The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall, in connection with their servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement, exercise efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to execute and deliver, on behalf of each Repurchasing Seller as a holder of a pari passu interest in the applicable Joint Mortgage Loan, any and all financing statements, continuation statements and other documents and instruments necessary to maintain the lien created by any Mortgage or other security document related to the applicable Joint Mortgage Loan on the related Mortgaged Property and related collateral, any and all modifications, waivers, amendments or consents to or with respect to the related Joint Mortgage Loan documents, and any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments with respect to the related Repurchased Note or related Repurchased Notes and the related Mortgaged Property all in accordance with, and subject to, the terms of this Agreement. Each Repurchasing Seller agrees to furnish, or cause to be furnished, to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer any powers of attorney or other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement related to the applicable Joint Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that such Repurchasing Seller shall not be liable, and shall be indemnified by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, for any negligence with respect to, or misuse of, any such power of attorney by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be; and further provided that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, without the written consent of the applicable Repurchasing Seller, shall not initiate any action in the name of such Repurchasing Seller without indicating its


 



    -307-


     

    

 


representative capacity or take any action with the intent to cause and that actually causes, such Repurchasing Seller to be registered to do business in any state.

 

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

 

Section 3.34     Trust Subordinate Companion Loans. 

 

(a)        With respect to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loans, references to actions being taken for the benefit of such Trust Subordinate Companion Loans or in the best interests of the holders of the Loan-Specific Certificates in this Agreement shall be deemed to be taken (and subject to the same considerations) also for the benefit of, or to be taken in the best interests of, the Holders of such Loan-Specific Certificates, as beneficial owners of such Trust Subordinate Companion Loans.

 

(b)       
Any notices, reports or other information related to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loans required to be delivered by a party
under this Agreement or the related Intercreditor Agreement to the holders of the Loan-Specific Certificates or the holders of
such Trust Subordinate Companion Loans shall be delivered (in lieu of delivery to such holders) to the related Chase Center Tower
Loan-Specific Directing Holder by such party within the same time periods as such notices, reports or other information are required
to be delivered to the holder of such Trust Subordinate Companion Loans.  

 

(c)        Any consents required to be obtained from the holder of either Trust Subordinate Companion Loan under this Agreement or the related Intercreditor Agreement or any obligation under this Agreement or the related Intercreditor Agreement of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or other party to this Agreement to consult with or obtain the consent of or follow the direction of the holder of such Trust Subordinate Companion Loan shall instead be deemed to require such Person to consult with, obtain the consent of or follow the direction of the related Chase Center Tower Loan-Specific Directing Holder.

 

(d)        With respect to either Chase Center Tower Whole Loan, subject to the foregoing and applicable REMIC Provisions, the Chase Center Tower Loan-Specific Directing Holder may direct the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee and the holders of the Loan-Specific Certificates to implement the holder of such Trust Subordinate Companion Loan’s exercise of any rights, to the extent that each such holder is entitled to such rights under the related Intercreditor Agreement.

 

(e)        Prior to the Special Servicer obtaining the consent of, or consulting with the Chase Center Tower Loan-Specific Directing Holder to the extent provided for under the related Intercreditor Agreement, such Chase Center Tower Loan-Specific Directing Holder shall have delivered to the Special Servicer an officer’s certificate in form and substance acceptable to the Special Servicer (with a copy to the Master Servicer), as applicable, stating such party is not

(f)         Distributions of Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges. On each Distribution Date, following the distribution from the Lower-Tier Distribution Account in respect of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests pursuant to Section 4.01(a) of this Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall make distributions of any Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges collected on the Mortgage Loans during the related Collection Period from amounts deposited in the Upper-Tier Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.05(f) of this Agreement, as follows:

 

The Non-VRR Percentage of the Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges collected on the Mortgage Loans during the related Collection Period (such portion of such Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges, the “Non-VRR Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges” ) shall be distributed to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-M, Class B, Class C and Class D Certificates in an amount equal to, in the case of each such Class, the product of (a) a fraction, not greater than one, the numerator of which is the amount distributed as principal to such Class on such Distribution Date, and whose denominator is the total amount distributed as principal to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-M, Class B, Class C and Class D Certificates on such Distribution Date, (b) the Base Interest Fraction for the related Principal Prepayment and such Class of Certificates and (c) the amount of such Non-VRR Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges.

 

Any Yield Maintenance Charges or Prepayment Premiums collected on the Mortgage Loans collected during the related Collection Period and remaining after such


 



    -316-


     

    

 


distributions described in the preceding paragraph shall be allocated and distributed to the Class X-A Certificates.

 

On any Distribution
Date, any Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges collected in respect of the Trust Subordinate Companion Loans during
the related Collection Period shall be distributed by the Certificate Administrator in the following manner: (a) to the Holders
of the Class UBR-B, Class UBR-C and Class UBR-D Certificates in an amount equal to the product of (x) a fraction whose numerator
is the amount of principal distributed to such Class of Loan-Specific Certificates on such Distribution Date and whose denominator
is the total amount of principal distributed to the Holders of the Class UBR-B, Class UBR-C and Class UBR-D Certificates on such
Distribution Date, (y) the aggregate amount of Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges allocated to the Trust Subordinate
Companion Loans and (z) the Chase Center Tower Non-VRR Percentage of such Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Premiums,
and (b) to the UBR-VRR Interest Owner, the UBR-VRR Percentage of such Prepayment Premiums or Yield Maintenance Charges. If there
is more than one Class of Loan-Specific Certificates entitled to distributions of principal on any particular Distribution Date
on which Yield Maintenance Charges are distributable to such Classes, the aggregate amount of such Yield Maintenance Charges shall
be allocated among all such Classes of Loan-Specific Certificates up to, and on a pro rata basis in accordance with, their
respective entitlements in those Yield Maintenance Charges in accordance with the first sentence of this paragraph.  

 

On each Distribution Date, amounts on deposit in the Upper-Tier Distribution Account that represent the VRR Percentage of such Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges collected on the Mortgage Loans during the related Collection Period shall be distributed by the Certificate Administrator to the Holders of the Class RR Certificates and the RR Interest Owner, on a pro rata and pari passu basis.

 

(g)        Gain-on-Sale Accounts. On each Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Certificate Administrator shall determine if the Pooled Available Funds for such Distribution Date (determined without regard to the inclusion of any Gain-on-Sale Proceeds therein) would be sufficient to pay all interest and principal due and owing to reimburse all previously allocated Pooled Realized Losses reimbursable to the Holders of the Non-VRR Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01(b). If the Certificate Administrator determines that such Pooled Available Funds (as so determined) would not be sufficient to make such payments and reimbursements, then the Certificate Administrator shall withdraw from the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account (or sub-account thereof) and shall deposit in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account on the applicable Master Servicer Remittance Date an amount (to be included in the Pooled Aggregate Available Funds for the related Distribution Date for allocation between the VRR Interest and the Non-VRR Certificates) equal to the lesser of (i) the amounts then on deposit in the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and (ii) the sum of (A) the amount of the applicable insufficiency and (B) the VRR Allocation Percentage of the amount described in the immediately preceding clause (A).

 

Any amounts remaining in the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account after such distributions on any Distribution Date that (A) are allocable to the Mortgage Loans shall be held and maintained in such account and applied to offset future Pooled Realized Losses and VRR Realized Losses, as applicable, and Additional Trust Fund Expenses from time to time; and


 



    -317-


     

    

 


(B) are allocable to the Serviced Companion
Loans (other than the Trust Subordinate Companion Loans), shall be remitted within one Business Day after each such Distribution
Date by the Certificate Administrator to the Master Servicer (which shall remit to the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders in
accordance with Section 3.05(h)). Any gains allocable to the Trust Subordinate Companion
Loans will be applied on the applicable Distribution Date to reimburse the Loan-Specific Certificateholders for Chase Center Tower
Non-VRR Realized Losses and Chase Center Tower UBR-VRR Realized Losses and, to the extent not so applied, such gains will be held
and applied to offset future Chase Center Tower Non-VRR Realized Losses and Chase Center Tower UBR-VRR Realized Losses, if any.  

 

On each Distribution Date, immediately after giving effect to the operation of the two preceding paragraphs, amounts held in the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account (other than amounts allocable to any related Serviced Companion Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan pursuant to the terms of any related Intercreditor Agreement) that exceed amounts reasonably required (as determined by the Certificate Administrator) to offset future Pooled Realized Losses and VRR Realized Losses, as applicable, and Additional Trust Fund Expenses, shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class R Certificates (in respect of the Class LTR Interest) and, upon termination of the Trust Fund, any amounts remaining in the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account (other than amounts allocable to any related Serviced Companion Loan pursuant to the terms of any related Intercreditor Agreement) shall be distributed by the Certificate Administrator to the Class R Certificates (in respect of the Class LTR Interest). Amounts paid with respect to the Mortgage Loans from the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account pursuant to the preceding clauses (i) and (ii) shall first be deemed to have been distributed to the Lower-Tier Regular Interests in reimbursement of Realized Losses and VRR Realized Losses, as applicable, and Additional Trust Fund Expenses previously allocated thereto in the same manner as provided in Section 4.01(a) of this Agreement. Amounts paid from the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account will not reduce the Certificate Balances of any Class of Non-VRR Certificates, Class S Certificates or the Class RR Certificates receiving such distributions.

 

On each Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall withdraw from the Chase Center Tower Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and deposit in the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan REMIC Distribution Account, the amount, if any, on deposit in the Chase Center Tower Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account (to be included in the Chase Center Tower Available Funds for the related Distribution Date).

 

(h)        Realized Losses. On each Distribution Date, immediately following the distributions to be made on such date pursuant to Section 4.01(b), the Certificate Administrator shall calculate the amount, if any, of the Pooled Realized Loss and VRR Realized Loss for such Distribution Date. Any allocation of Realized Losses to any Class of Pooled Principal Balance Certificates and VRR Realized Losses to the VRR Interest shall be made by reducing the Certificate Balance or VRR Interest Balance, as applicable, thereof by the amount so allocated. On each Distribution Date, immediately following the distributions to be made on such date pursuant to Section 4.01(c), the Certificate Administrator shall calculate the amount, if any, of the Chase Center Tower Non-VRR Realized Loss and Chase Center Tower UBR-VRR Realized Loss for such Distribution Date. Any allocation of Chase Center Tower Non-VRR Realized Losses to any Class of Loan-Specific Certificates and Chase Center Tower UBR-VRR Realized Losses to the UBR-VRR Interest shall be made by reducing the Certificate Balance thereof by


 



    -318-


     

    

 


the amount so allocated. The allocation of Pooled Realized Losses and VRR Realized Losses, and Chase Center Tower Non-VRR Realized Losses and Chase Center Tower UBR-VRR Realized Losses, shall constitute allocations of losses and other shortfalls experienced by the Trust Fund.

 

The Certificate Balances
of each Class of Pooled Principal Balance Certificates will be reduced without distribution on any Distribution Date as a write-off
to the extent of any Pooled Realized Losses allocated to such Class of Certificates with respect to such date. Any such write-offs
will be applied to the Classes of Pooled Principal Balance Certificates in the following order, in each case until the Certificate
Balance of such Class is reduced to zero: first, to the Class D Certificates; second,
to the Class C Certificates; third, to the Class B Certificates, fourth, to the Class A-M Certificates; and finally,
to the Class A-1, Class A-2 and Class A-3 Certificates, pro rata, based on their respective
Certificate Balances. The Certificate Balances of each Class of Chase Center Tower Non-VRR Certificates will be reduced without
distribution on any Distribution Date as a write-off to the extent of any Chase Center Tower Non-VRR Realized Losses allocated
to such Class of Chase Center Tower Non-VRR Certificates with respect to such date. Any such write-offs will be applied to the
Classes of Chase Center Tower Non-VRR Certificates in the following order, in each case until the Certificate Balance of such
Class is reduced to zero: first, to the Class UBR-D Certificates, second, to the Class UBR-C Certificates, and finally,
to the Class UBR-B Certificates, in each case until the remaining Certificate Balances of such Classes of Certificates have been
reduced to zero.  

 

Any Realized Losses so allocated to any Class of Certificates shall be allocated among the respective Certificates of such Class in proportion to the Percentage Interests evidenced thereby.

 

On each Distribution Date, any VRR Realized Loss for such Distribution Date shall be allocated to the VRR Interest; and, in connection therewith, the VRR Interest Balance will be reduced without distribution, as a write-off, to the extent of such VRR Realized Loss.

 

On each Distribution Date, any Chase Center Tower UBR-VRR Realized Loss for such Distribution Date shall be allocated to the UBR-VRR Interest; and, in connection therewith, the UBR-VRR Interest Balance will be reduced without distribution, as a write-off, to the extent of such Chase Center Tower UBR-VRR Realized Loss.

Center Tower Non-VRR Realized Losses or
Chase Center Tower UBR-VRR Realized Losses, as applicable, previously allocated to the respective Classes of the Loan-Specific
Certificates and distributions in reimbursement of Chase Center Tower UBR-VRR Realized Losses previously allocated to the UBR-VRR
Interest shall be made in the amounts and manner specified in Section 4.01(c) or Section 4.01(c), as applicable.
Additional Trust Fund Expenses attributable to the Chase Center Tower Subordinate Companion Loan and shortfalls in Chase Center
Tower Available Funds due to extraordinary expenses of the Trust Fund (including indemnification expenses), a reduction in the
Mortgage Rate on a Mortgage Loan by a bankruptcy court pursuant to a plan of reorganization or pursuant to any of its equitable
powers, or otherwise, shall be treated as and allocated in the same manner as Chase Center Tower Non-VRR Realized Losses and Chase
Center Tower UBR-VRR Realized Losses. Reimbursement of previously allocated Chase Center Tower Non-VRR Realized Losses and Chase
Center Tower UBR-VRR Realized Losses will not constitute distributions of principal for any purpose and will not result in an
additional reduction in the Certificate Balance of the Class of Chase Center Tower Non-VRR Certificates or UBR-VRR Interest in
respect of which any such reimbursement is made.  

 

If and to the extent that any Nonrecoverable Advances (plus interest thereon) that were reimbursed from principal collections on the Mortgage Loans (including REO Loans) and previously resulted in a reduction of the Aggregate Principal Distribution Amount are subsequently recovered on the related Mortgage Loan or REO Property, then (on the Distribution Date related to the Collection Period during which the recovery occurred): (i) the Non-VRR Percentage of the amount of such recovery will be added to the Certificate Balance(s) of the Class or Classes of Pooled Principal Balance Certificates that previously were allocated Pooled Realized Losses, in the same sequential order as distributions pursuant to Section 4.01(b), in each case up to the lesser of (A) the unallocated portion of the Non-VRR Percentage of the amount of such recovery and (B) the amount of the unreimbursed Realized Losses previously allocated to the subject Class of Certificates, and the Interest Shortfall with respect to each affected Class of Non-VRR Certificates for the next Distribution Date will be increased by the amount of interest that would have accrued through the then current Distribution Date if the restored write-down for the reimbursed Class of Pooled Principal Balance Certificates had never been written down; and (ii) the VRR Percentage of the amount of such recovery will be added to the VRR Interest Balance, up to the lesser of (A) the VRR Percentage of the amount of such recovery and (B) the amount of unreimbursed VRR Realized Losses previously allocated to the VRR Interest, and the interest payable on the VRR Interest will be deemed increased by the VRR Allocation Percentage of any contemporaneous increases in interest payable on the Non-VRR Certificates pursuant to clause (i) of this sentence. To the extent that the Certificate Balance or VRR Interest Balance of, and/or any interest payable on, any Class of Non-VRR Certificates or the VRR Interest is so increased, an identical increase shall be deemed made to the Lower-Tier Principal Balance of, and any interest payable on, the Corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interest. If the Certificate Balance of any Class of Pooled Principal Balance Certificates or the VRR Interest Balance (or the Lower-Tier Principal Balance of any Lower-Tier Regular Interest) is so increased, the amount of unreimbursed Pooled Realized Losses or VRR Realized Losses, as applicable, of such Class of Certificates or the VRR Interest (or such Lower-Tier Regular Interest), as the case may be, shall be decreased by such amount, and any interest accrued on the amount of unreimbursed Realized Losses or VRR Realized Losses, as applicable, so decreased shall be deemed not to exist.

If and to the extent that any Nonrecoverable Advances (plus interest thereon) that were reimbursed from principal collections on the Trust Subordinate Companion Loans (including REO Loans) and previously resulted in a reduction of the Chase Center Tower Aggregate Principal Distribution Amount are subsequently recovered on the related Trust Subordinate Companion Loan or REO Property, then (on the Distribution Date related to the Collection Period during which the recovery occurred): (i) the Chase Center Tower Non-VRR Percentage of the amount of such recovery will be added to the Certificate Balance(s) of the Class or Classes of Loan-Specific Certificates that previously were allocated Chase Center Tower Non-VRR Realized Losses, in the same sequential order as distributions pursuant to Section 4.01(c), in each case up to the lesser of (A) the unallocated portion of the Chase Center Tower Non-VRR Percentage of the amount of such recovery and (B) the amount of the unreimbursed Chase Center Tower Non-VRR Realized Losses previously allocated to the subject Class of Certificates, and the Chase Center Tower Interest Shortfall with respect to each affected Class of Loan-Specific Certificates for the next Distribution Date will be increased by the amount of interest that would have accrued through the then current Distribution Date if the restored write-down for the reimbursed Class of Loan-Specific Certificates had never been written down; and (ii) the UBR-VRR Percentage of the amount of such recovery will be added to the UBR-VRR Interest Balance, up to the lesser of (A) the UBR-VRR Percentage of the amount of such recovery and (B) the amount of unreimbursed Chase Center Tower UBR-VRR Realized Losses previously allocated to the UBR-VRR Interest, and the interest payable on the UBR-VRR Interest will be deemed increased by the UBR-VRR Allocation Percentage of any contemporaneous increases in interest payable on the Loan-Specific Certificates pursuant to clause (i) of this sentence. To the extent that the Certificate Balance or UBR-VRR Interest Balance of, and/or any interest payable on, any Class of Loan-Specific Certificates or the UBR-VRR Interest is so increased, an identical increase shall be deemed made to the Lower-Tier Principal Balance of, and any interest payable on, the Corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interest. If the Certificate Balance of any Class of Loan-Specific Certificates or the UBR-VRR Interest Balance (or the Lower-Tier Principal Balance of any Lower-Tier Regular Interest) is so increased, the amount of unreimbursed Chase Center Tower Non-VRR Realized Losses or Chase Center Tower UBR-VRR Realized Losses, as applicable, of such Class of Certificates or the UBR-VRR Interest (or such Lower-Tier Regular Interest), as the case may be, shall be decreased by such amount, and any interest accrued on the amount of unreimbursed Chase Center Tower Non-VRR Realized Losses or Chase Center Tower UBR-VRR Realized Losses, as applicable, so decreased shall be deemed not to exist.

 

With respect to any Distribution Date, any Pooled Realized Losses or VRR Realized Losses, as applicable, allocated pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such Distribution Date shall reduce the Lower-Tier Principal Balances of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests as a write-off and shall be allocated among the Lower-Tier Regular Interests in the same priority as the Class of Corresponding Certificates. With respect to any Distribution Date, any Chase Center Tower Non-VRR Realized Losses or Chase Center Tower UBR-VRR Realized Losses, as applicable, allocated pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such Distribution Date shall reduce the principal balances of the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan REMIC Regular Interests as a write-off and shall be allocated among the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan REMIC Regular Interests in the same priority as the Class of Corresponding Certificates.

(i)        
All amounts distributable to a Class of Certificates pursuant to this Section 4.01 on each Distribution Date shall be allocated
pro rata among the outstanding Certificates in each such Class based on their respective
Percentage Interests. Such distributions shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder
of record on the related Record Date, (i) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank
or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor if such Holder shall have provided the
Paying Agent with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions
may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or (ii) otherwise, by check mailed by first-class
mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in
like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its
agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders
of such final distribution.  

 

(j)         The Certificate Administrator shall, as soon as reasonably practicable within the month preceding the month in which the final distribution with respect to any Class of Certificates is expected to be made, mail to each Holder of such Class of Certificates on such date a notice to the effect that:

 

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

 

(B)       if such final distribution is made on such Distribution Date, no interest shall accrue on such Certificates from and after such Distribution Date;

 

provided that the Class R Certificates shall remain outstanding until no other Class of Certificates or Lower-Tier Regular Interests are outstanding.

 

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of such Classes of Certificates 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 for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to this Section 4.01(j) shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Holders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Holders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Holders shall be paid out of such funds. Subject to applicable state escheatment laws, if within two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall distribute to the Certificate Administrator all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof, and the Certificate Administrator shall thereafter hold such amounts for the benefit of such Holders until the earlier of (i) its

termination as Certificate Administrator
hereunder and the transfer of such amounts to a successor Certificate Administrator and (ii) the termination of the Trust Fund
and distribution of such amounts to the Class R Certificateholders. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Holder on any
amount held hereunder or by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Holder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s)
for final payment thereof in accordance with this Section 4.01(j). Any such amounts transferred to the Certificate Administrator
may be invested in Permitted Investments and all income and gain realized from investment of such funds shall accrue for its benefit.  

 

(k)        The Non-VRR Percentage of the Excess Prepayment Interest Shortfalls allocated to the Mortgage Loans, if any, for each Distribution Date shall be allocated (and the Non-VRR Percentage of Compensating Interest Payments shall be deemed distributed) among the various Classes of Non-VRR Certificates, and the VRR Percentage of the Excess Prepayment Interest Shortfalls allocated to the Mortgage Loans, if any, for each Distribution Date shall be deemed allocated (and the VRR Percentage of Compensating Interest Payments shall be deemed distributed) to the VRR Interest and, in each case, correspondingly to the respective Class or Classes of Corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interests, pro rata, based upon the Interest Accrual Amount distributable to each such Class of Certificates prior to reduction by such Excess Prepayment Interest Shortfalls. Compensating Interest Payments shall be deposited by the Master Servicer into the Collection Account on or prior to the Master Servicer Remittance Date.

 

(l)         On the final Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall withdraw from the Collection Account and deliver to the Certificate Administrator who shall distribute to the Mortgage Loan Sellers, any Loss of Value Payments relating to the Mortgage Loans that it is servicing and that were transferred from the Loss of Value Reserve Fund to the Collection Account on the immediately preceding Master Servicer Remittance Date in accordance with Section 3.06(e)(v) of this Agreement.

 

(m)       On each Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall withdraw from the Excess Interest Distribution Account any amounts on deposit therein that represent Excess Interest received with respect to each ARD Loan during the related Collection Period shall be distributed (i) to the Holders of the Class S Certificates in an amount equal to the Non-VRR Percentage of such Excess Interest and (ii) to the VRR Interest Owners, pro rata, in an aggregate amount equal to the product of (A) the VRR Percentage, multiplied by (B) the amount of such Excess Interest.

upon delivery to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee in physical form of
an investor certification substantially in the forms of Exhibit L-1D and Exhibit L-1E and upon delivery to the Certificate
Administrator in physical form of an investor certification substantially in the form of Exhibit L-1F, which shall include
each of the CTSLink User ID’s associated with such Excluded Controlling Class Holder, all information (other than Excluded
Information) available on the Certificate Administrator’s Website (unless loan-by-loan segregation is later performed by
the Certificate Administrator in which case such access by an Excluded Controlling Class Holder shall only be prohibited with
respect to the related Excluded Controlling Class Loans).  

 

In the case of the Directing Holder, a Controlling Class Certificateholder or a Chase Center Tower Controlling Class Certificateholder that is not an Excluded Controlling Class Holder, upon delivery of an investor certification substantially in the form of Exhibit L-1B hereto, such Directing Holder or Controlling Class Certificateholder or a Chase Center Tower

Controlling Class Certificateholder shall be entitled to access all information on the Certificate Administrator’s Website. The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee may each rely on (i) an investor certification in the form of Exhibit L-1B hereto from the Directing Holder, a Controlling Class Certificateholder or a Chase Center Tower Controlling Class Certificateholder to the effect that such Person is not an Excluded Controlling Class Holder and (ii) an investor certification in the form of Exhibit L-1D hereto from the Directing Holder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder to the effect that such Person is an Excluded Controlling Class Holder with respect to one or more Excluded Controlling Class Loan(s). In the event the Directing Holder, a Controlling Class Certificateholder or a Chase Center Tower Controlling Class Certificateholder becomes an Excluded Controlling Class Holder, such party shall promptly notify each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee in writing substantially in the form of Exhibit L-1E that such party is an Excluded Controlling Class Holder and identify the Excluded Controlling Class Loan(s) and thereafter shall not be entitled to any Excluded Information related to such Excluded Controlling Class Loan(s) and made available on the Certificate Administrator’s Website. With respect to any Excluded Information, each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall mark or label such information as “Excluded Information”  prior to delivery to the Certificate Administrator, and the Certificate Administrator shall segregate on the Certificate Administrator’s Website such Excluded Information (and may be segregated on loan-by-loan basis) from information relating to other Mortgage Loans. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to conclusively assume that the Directing Holder and all beneficial owners of the Certificates of the Controlling Class are not Excluded Controlling Class Holders except to the extent that the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, has received such notice from the Directing Holder, a Controlling Class Certificateholder or a Chase Center Tower Controlling Class Certificateholder that it has become an Excluded Controlling Class Holder. None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator shall be liable for any communication to the Directing Holder or Controlling Class Certificateholder or disclosure of Excluded Information if the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, did not receive prior written notice that the related Mortgage Loan is an Excluded Controlling Class Loan (including, in the case of a summary of an Asset Status Report or Final Asset Status Report delivered to the Certificate Administrator for posting to the Certificate Administrator’s Website and/or any failure to label any such information provided to the Certificate Administrator).

 

Each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to conclusively rely on (i) any written notice from the Directing Holder, a Controlling Class Certificateholder or a Chase Center Tower Controlling Class Certificateholder that it is no longer an Excluded Controlling Class Holder and (ii) any certification delivered by the Directing Holder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder, as applicable, substantially in the form of Exhibit L1-B that such Person is no longer an Excluded Controlling Class Holder. To the extent the Directing Holder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder receives access pursuant to this Agreement to any Excluded Information on the Certificate Administrator’s Website or otherwise receives access to such Excluded Information, such Directing Holder or Controlling Class Certificateholder shall be deemed to have agreed that it (i) will not directly or indirectly provide any information related to the Excluded Controlling


 



    -331-


     

    

 


Class Loan to the related Borrower or to
any Excluded Controlling Class Holder or (A) any employees or personnel of such Directing Holder or Controlling Class Certificateholder
or any Affiliate involved in the management of any investment in the related Borrower or the related Mortgaged Property or (B)
to its actual knowledge, any non-Affiliate that holds a direct or indirect ownership interest in the related Borrower, and (ii)
will maintain sufficient internal controls and appropriate policies and procedures in place in order to comply with the obligations
described in clause (i) above.  

 

To the extent any of the Risk Retention Consultation Parties or a Holder of a Class RR Certificate, the RR Interest Owner or the UBR-VRR Interest Owner receives access pursuant to this Agreement to any information solely related to a Mortgage Loan with respect to which such party is a Borrower Party (which shall include any Asset Status Reports, Final Asset Status Reports (or summaries thereof), any inspection reports related to Specially Serviced Loans conducted by the Special Servicer or any Excluded Special Servicer and which may include any Appraisal Reduction Amount calculations, and any Officer’s Certificates delivered by the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, supporting any determination that any Advance was (or, if made, would be) a Nonrecoverable Advance, but in each case other than information with respect to such Mortgage Loan that is aggregated with information of other Mortgage Loans at a pool level), on the Certificate Administrator’s Website or otherwise receives access to such information, such Risk Retention Consultation Party or Holder of a Class RR Certificate, the RR Interest Owner or the UBR-VRR Interest Owner shall be deemed to have agreed that it (i) will not directly or indirectly provide any such information to (A) the related Borrower Party, (B) any employees or personnel of such Risk Retention Consultation Party or Holder of a Class RR Certificate, the RR Interest Owner or the UBR-VRR Interest Owner or any of its Affiliates involved in the management of any investment in the related Borrower Party or the related Mortgaged Property or (C) to its actual knowledge, any non-Affiliate that holds a direct or indirect ownership interest in the related Borrower Party, and (ii) will maintain sufficient internal controls and appropriate policies and procedures in place in order to comply with the obligations described in clause (i) above. For the avoidance of doubt, for the purposes of this paragraph, any file or report contained in the CREFC®  Investor Reporting Package (“CREFC®  IRP” ) (other than the CREFC®  Special Servicer Loan File relating to any such Excluded Loan) shall be considered information that is aggregated with information of other Mortgage Loans at a pool level.

 

The Certificate Administrator makes no representations or warranties as to the accuracy or completeness of such information and assumes no responsibility therefor. In addition, the Certificate Administrator may disclaim responsibility for any information distributed or filed by the Certificate Administrator for which it is not the original source. The Certificate Administrator shall not be responsible for the accuracy or completeness of any information supplied to it by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer that is included in any reports, statements, materials or information prepared or provided by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon the Master Servicer’s reports and the Special Servicer’s reports without any duty or obligation to recompute, verify or re-evaluate any of the amounts or other information stated therein. In connection with providing access to the Certificate Administrator’s Internet website, the Certificate Administrator may require registration and the acceptance of a disclaimer. The Certificate Administrator shall not be liable for the dissemination of information in accordance


 



    -332-


     

    

 


herewith. Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, the Certificate Administrator shall not be liable for any Excluded Information to the extent such information
was included in any summary of an Asset Status Report or Final Asset Status Report delivered to the Certificate Administrator
for posting to the Certificate Administrator’s Website and not properly identified as Excluded Information.  

 

The Certificate Administrator shall have no liability for access by an Excluded Controlling Class Holder to the Certificate Administrator’s Website of any information with respect to which such Excluded Controlling Class Holder is prohibited from accessing pursuant to this Agreement if such Excluded Controlling Class Holder provided an Investor Certification but did not indicate it was a Borrower Party.

 

The provisions in this Section shall not limit the Master Servicer’s ability to make accessible certain information regarding the Mortgage Loans at a website maintained by the Master Servicer.

 

(c)        The Certificate Administrator shall make available, only to Privileged Persons, the Investor Q&A Forum. The “Investor Q&A Forum”  shall be a service available on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, where (i) Certificateholders, RR Interest Owners, UBR-VRR Interest Owners and Certificate Owners who are Privileged Persons may (A) submit questions to the Certificate Administrator relating to the Distribution Date Statement and (B) submit questions to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, relating to the reports being made available pursuant to this Section 4.02(c), the Mortgage Loans or the Mortgaged Properties (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), the Trust Subordinate Companion Loans or related Mortgaged Properties, and (ii) Privileged Persons may view Inquiries that have been previously submitted and answered, together with the answers thereto. Upon receipt of an Inquiry for the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator shall forward the Inquiry to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, (and in the case of an inquiry relating to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the applicable party under the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement) in each case within a commercially reasonable period following receipt thereof. Following receipt of an Inquiry, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (other than with respect to the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans or related Mortgaged Properties), as applicable, unless it determines not to answer such Inquiry as provided below, shall reply to the Inquiry, which reply of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall be sent by email to the Certificate Administrator. The Certificate Administrator shall post (within a commercially reasonable period following preparation or receipt of such answer, as the case may be) such Inquiry and the related answer to the Investor Q&A Forum. If the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer determines, in its respective sole discretion, that (i) any Inquiry is beyond the scope outlined above, (ii) answering any Inquiry would not be in the best interests of the Trust and/or the Certificateholders, the RR Interest Owners and/or the UBR-VRR Interest Owners, (iii) answering any Inquiry would be in violation of applicable law, this Agreement or the applicable Loan Documents, (iv) answering any Inquiry would materially increase the duties of, or result in significant additional cost or expense to, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, (v) answering such inquiry would require the disclosure of Privileged Information (subject to the Privileged Information Exception), (vi) answering such inquiry would or is reasonably expected to result in a waiver of an attorney-


 



    -333-


     

    

 


client privilege or the disclosure of attorney
work product, or (vii) answering any Inquiry is otherwise not advisable for any reason, it shall not be required to answer such
Inquiry and, in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, shall promptly notify the Certificate Administrator,
and the Certificate Administrator shall not post such Inquiry on the Investor Q&A Forum. In addition, no party shall post
or otherwise disclose information known to such party to be Privileged Information as part of its response to any Inquiry. The
Certificate Administrator shall notify the Person who submitted such Inquiry if the Inquiry will not be answered. The Certificate
Administrator shall not be required to post to the Investor Q&A Forum any Inquiry or answer thereto that the Certificate Administrator
determines, in its sole discretion, is administrative or ministerial in nature. The Investor Q&A Forum will not reflect questions,
answers and other communications between the Certificate Administrator or other Person which are not submitted via the Investor
Q&A Forum. In addition, no party is permitted to post or otherwise disclose direct communication with the Directing Holder
or any Risk Retention Consultation Party (in its capacity as Risk Retention Consultation Party) as part of its response to any
questions. In the case of an Inquiry relating to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Certificate Administrator shall make reasonable
efforts to obtain an answer from the related non-serviced master servicer or the related non-serviced special servicer, as applicable;
provided that the Certificate Administrator shall not be responsible for the content
of such answer or any delay or failure to obtain such answer.  

 

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

 

(e)        The Master Servicer may at its sole cost and expense, but is not required to, make any of the reports or files it delivers pursuant to this Agreement available on the Master Servicer’s website only with the use of a password, in which case the Master Servicer shall provide such password to (i) the other parties to this Agreement, who by their acceptance of such password shall be deemed to have agreed not to disclose such password to any other Person and


 



    -334-


     

    

 


(ii) each Certificateholder and prospective Certificateholder who requests such password, provided that any such Certificateholder or prospective Certificateholder, as the case may be, has delivered an Investor Certification to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Master Servicer. In connection with providing access to the Master Servicer’s website, the Master Servicer may require registration and the acceptance of a disclaimer and otherwise (subject to the preceding sentence) adopt reasonable rules and procedures, which may include, to the extent the Master Servicer deems necessary or appropriate, conditioning access on execution of an agreement governing the availability, use and disclosure of such information, and which may provide indemnification to the Master Servicer for any liability or damage that may arise therefrom. The Master Servicer shall not be liable for dissemination of this information in accordance with this Agreement, provided that such information otherwise meets the requirements set forth herein with respect to the form and substance of such information or reports. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to attach to any report provided pursuant to this subsection, any reasonable disclaimer with respect to information provided, or any assumptions required to be made by such report. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Master Servicer may, at its sole cost and expense, make available by electronic media, bulletin board service or Internet website any reports or other information the Master Servicer is required or permitted to provide to any Borrower with respect to such Borrower’s Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan to the extent such action does not conflict with the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the related Loan Documents or applicable law. If the Master Servicer is required to deliver any statement, report or other information under any provision of this Agreement, then, the Master Servicer may satisfy such obligation by (x) physically delivering a paper copy of such statement, report or information, (y) delivering such statement, report or information in a commonly used electronic format, or (z) making such statement, report or information available on its website, unless this Agreement expressly specifies a particular method of delivery; provided that all reports required to be delivered to the Certificate Administrator shall be delivered in accordance with clause (x) or (y) or, upon request, clause (z).

 

(f)        
Subject to Section 3.13, the Special Servicer shall from time to time (and, in any event,
as may be reasonably requested by the Master Servicer) provide the Master Servicer with such information in its possession regarding
the Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties as may be reasonably necessary for the Master Servicer to prepare each report
and any supplemental information to be provided by the Master Servicer to the Certificate Administrator. Neither the Certificate
Administrator nor the Depositor shall have any obligation to recompute, verify or recalculate the information provided thereto
by the Master Servicer. Unless the Certificate Administrator has actual knowledge that any report or file received from the Master
Servicer contains erroneous information, the Certificate Administrator is authorized to rely thereon in calculating and making
distributions to Certificateholders and allocating Realized Losses to the Certificates in accordance with Section 4.01
of this Agreement and preparing the statements to Certificateholders required by Section 4.02(a) of this Agreement.  

 

(g)        As soon as reasonably practicable, upon the written request of and at the expense of any Certificateholder, the Certificate Administrator shall provide the requesting Certificateholder with such information that is in the Certificate Administrator’s possession or can reasonably be obtained by the Certificate Administrator as is requested by such Certificateholder, for purposes of satisfying applicable reporting requirements under Rule 144A under the Securities Act. Neither the Certificate Registrar nor the Certificate Administrator shall


 



    -335-


     

    

 


have any responsibility for the sufficiency under Rule 144A or any other securities laws of any available information so furnished to any person including any prospective purchaser of a Certificate or any interest therein, nor for the content or accuracy of any information so furnished which was prepared or delivered to them by another.

 

(h)        The Certificate Administrator shall make available at its offices, during normal business hours, upon not less than two Business Days prior notice, for review by any Privileged Person and any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder that is a Privileged Person (solely with respect to items (ii) and (iii), to the extent such information relates to the related Serviced Companion Loan), originals or copies of documents relating to the Mortgage Loans and any related REO Properties to the extent in its possession, including, without limitation, the following items (except to the extent prohibited by applicable law or under any of the related Loan Documents):

 

(i)         any and all notices and reports delivered to the Certificate Administrator with respect to any Mortgaged Property as to which the environmental testing contemplated by Section 3.10(f) of this Agreement revealed that neither of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) thereof was satisfied;

 

(ii)        the most recent annual (or more frequent, if available) operating statements, rent rolls (to the extent such rent rolls have been made available by the related Borrower) and/or lease summaries and retail sales information, if any, received from the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in respect to each Mortgaged Property;

 

(iii)       the Mortgage File, including any and all modifications, waivers and amendments of the terms of a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan entered into by the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer and delivered to the Certificate Administrator; and

 

(iv)      any other information that may be necessary to satisfy the requirements of subsection (d)(4)(i) of Rule 144A under the Securities Act.

 

The Certificate Administrator may require a Privileged Person to execute an Investor Certification prior to granting access to such information, which may be in the form of a “click-through”  confirmation. Copies of any and all of the foregoing items will be available from the Certificate Administrator upon request. The Certificate Administrator will be permitted to require payment by the requesting party (other than a Rating Agency) of a sum sufficient to cover the reasonable costs and expenses of making such information available and providing any copies thereof. The Certificate Administrator’s obligation under this Section 4.02(h) to make available any document is subject to the Certificate Administrator’s receipt of such document.

 

The Certificate Administrator
shall not be liable for providing or disseminating information in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  

 

(i)         The Depositor hereby authorizes the Certificate Administrator to make available to any Financial Market Publisher or such other vendor chosen by the Depositor that submits to the Certificate Administrator a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit L-2 to


 






    -336-


     

    

 


this Agreement, all the Distribution Date Statements, CREFC®  reports and supplemental notices delivered or made available pursuant to this Section 4.02 to Privileged Persons.

 

Section 4.03    
Compliance with Withholding Requirements.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Paying
Agent shall comply with all federal withholding requirements with respect to payments to Certificateholders and other payees of
interest, original issue discount or other amounts that the Paying Agent reasonably believes are applicable under the Code. The
consent of Certificateholders or payees shall not be required for any such withholding. If the Paying Agent or its agent withholds
any amount from interest, original issue discount payments or other amounts or advances thereof to any Certificateholder or payee
pursuant to federal withholding requirements, the Paying Agent shall indicate the amount withheld to such Certificateholder or
payee. Any amount so withheld shall be treated as having been distributed to such Certificateholder for all purposes of this Agreement.

 

Section 4.04    
REMIC Compliance.  (a) The parties intend that the Lower-Tier REMIC, the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Trust Subordinate
Companion Loan REMIC shall constitute, and that the affairs of the Lower-Tier REMIC, the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Trust Subordinate
Companion Loan REMIC shall be conducted so as to qualify it as, a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”  as defined
in, and in accordance with, the REMIC Provisions at all times any Certificates are outstanding, and the provisions hereof shall
be interpreted consistently with this intention. In furtherance of such intention, the Certificate Administrator shall, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, act as agent, and is hereby appointed to act as agent, of each such REMIC and shall on behalf
of each such REMIC:

 

(i)         make or cause to be made an election, on behalf of each of the Lower-Tier REMIC, the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan REMIC, to be treated as a REMIC on Form 1066 for its first taxable year, in accordance with the REMIC Provisions;

 

(ii)        prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, and cause the Trustee to sign (and the Trustee shall sign), all required Tax Returns for the Lower-Tier REMIC, the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan REMIC, using a calendar year as the taxable year for each of such REMIC as required by the REMIC Provisions and other applicable federal, state or local income tax laws;

 

(iii)      
prepare and forward, or cause to be prepared and forwarded, to the Certificateholders and the IRS and applicable state and local
tax authorities all information reports as and when required to be provided to them in accordance with the REMIC Provisions;  

 

(iv)      if the filing or distribution of any documents of an administrative nature not addressed in clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 4.04(a) is then required by the REMIC Provisions in order to maintain the status of the Lower-Tier REMIC, the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan REMIC as a REMIC or is otherwise required by the Code, prepare and file or distribute, or cause to be prepared and signed and filed or distributed, such documents with or to such Persons when and as required by the REMIC Provisions or the Code or comparable provisions of state and local law;

 






    -337-


     

    

 

(v)        within 30 days of the Closing Date, obtain a taxpayer identification number for each of the Lower-Tier REMIC, the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan REMIC on IRS Form SS-4 and (in the case of the Upper-Tier REMIC only), furnish or cause to be furnished to the IRS, on Form 8811 or as otherwise may be required by the Code, the name, title and address of the person that the Certificateholders may contact for tax information relating thereto (and the Certificate Administrator shall act as the representative of the Upper-Tier REMIC for this purpose), together with such additional information as may be required by such Form, and shall update such information at the time or times and in the manner required by the Code (and the Depositor agrees within 10 Business Days of the Closing Date to provide any information reasonably requested by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator and necessary to make such filing); and

 

(vi)       maintain such records relating to the Lower-Tier REMIC, the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan REMIC as may be necessary to prepare the foregoing returns, schedules, statements or information, such records, for federal income tax purposes, to be maintained on a calendar year and on an accrual basis.

 

The Certificate Administrator
shall be designated as the “partnership representative”  within the meaning of Section 6223 of the Code of each Trust
REMIC. Each Holder of a Percentage Interest in the Class R Certificates, by acceptance hereof, is deemed to have consented to
such designation and agrees to execute any documents required to give effect thereto, and any fees and expenses incurred by the
Certificate Administrator in connection with any audit or administrative or judicial proceeding shall be paid by the Trust Fund.  

 

The Certificate Administrator shall not intentionally take any action or intentionally omit to take any action if, in taking or omitting to take such action, the Certificate Administrator has actual knowledge that such action or omission (as the case may be) would cause the termination of the REMIC status of the Lower-Tier REMIC, the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan REMIC or the imposition of tax on the Lower-Tier REMIC, the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan REMIC (other than a tax on income expressly permitted to be received by the terms of this Agreement). Notwithstanding any provision of this paragraph to the contrary, the Certificate Administrator shall not be required to take any action that the Certificate Administrator in good faith believes to be inconsistent with any other provision of this Agreement, nor shall the Certificate Administrator be deemed in violation of this paragraph if it takes any action expressly required or authorized by any other provision of this Agreement, and the Certificate Administrator shall have no responsibility or liability with respect to any act or omission of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer which does not enable the Certificate Administrator to comply with any of clauses (i) through (vi) of the first paragraph of this Section 4.04(a) or which results in any action contemplated by clauses (i) or (ii) of the next succeeding sentence. In this regard the Certificate Administrator shall (i) exercise reasonable care not to allow the occurrence of any “prohibited transactions”  within the meaning of Section 860F(a) of the Code, unless the party seeking such action shall have delivered to the Certificate Administrator an Opinion of Counsel (at such party’s expense) that such occurrence would not (A) result in a taxable gain, (B) otherwise subject the Lower-Tier REMIC, the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan REMIC to tax (other than a tax at the


 



    -338-


     

    

 


highest marginal corporate tax rate on net income from foreclosure property), or (C) cause the Lower-Tier REMIC, the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC; and (ii) exercise reasonable care not to allow the Trust Fund to receive any contributions, or any income from the performance of services or from assets not permitted under the REMIC Provisions to be held by a REMIC (provided that the receipt of any income expressly permitted or contemplated by the terms of this Agreement shall not be deemed to violate this clause). None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Depositor shall be (i) permitted to take any action that the Certificate Administrator would not be permitted to take pursuant to the preceding two sentences or (ii) responsible or liable (except in connection with taking any act or omission referred to in the two preceding sentences or the following sentence) for any failure by the Certificate Administrator to comply with the provisions of this Section 4.04. The Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall cooperate in a timely manner with the Certificate Administrator in supplying any information within the Depositor’s, the Trustee’s, the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s control (other than any confidential information) that is reasonably necessary to enable the Certificate Administrator to perform its duties under this Section 4.04.

 

The Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for the preparation of IRS Form W-9, if requested. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely on any information contained therein and is hereby directed to execute such IRS Form W-9; provided that the Certificate Administrator shall be directed to execute such IRS Form W-9 (in lieu of the Trustee) if permitted by applicable Treasury Regulations.

 

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 Section 6221 of the Code (or successor provisions) to any REMIC and (ii) to avoid payment by any Trust REMIC under Section 6226 of the Code (or successor provisions) of any tax, penalty, interest or other amount imposed under the Code that would otherwise be imposed on any Holder of any Class R Certificate, past or present. A Holder of any Class R Certificate agrees, by acquiring such interest, to any such elections and to the Certificate Administrator’s designation as “partnership representative”  of each REMIC under Section 6223 of the Code.

 

(b)       
The following assumptions are to be used for purposes of determining the anticipated payments of principal and interest for calculating
the original yield to maturity and original issue discount with respect to the Certificates: (i) each Mortgage Loan will pay principal
and interest in accordance with its terms and scheduled payments will be timely received on their Due Dates, provided
that the Mortgage Loans will prepay in accordance with the Prepayment Assumption; (ii) none of the Master Servicer,
the Special Servicer and the Certificateholder owning a majority of the Percentage Interests in the Controlling Class will exercise
the right described in Section 9.01 of this Agreement to cause early termination of the Trust Fund; and (iii) no Mortgage
Loan is repurchased by a Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.  

 

Section 4.05    
Imposition of Tax on the Trust Fund. If any tax, including interest, penalties or assessments, additional amounts
or additions to tax, is imposed on the Lower-Tier REMIC, the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC, such
tax shall be charged against amounts otherwise distributable to the Holders of the Certificates;


 



    -339-


     

    

 


provided that any taxes imposed on any net income from foreclosure property pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code or any similar tax imposed by a state or local jurisdiction shall instead be treated as an expense of the related Serviced REO Property in determining Net REO Proceeds with respect to the Serviced REO Property (and until such taxes are paid, the Special Servicer from time to time shall withdraw from amounts in the REO Account (and, in the case of any Serviced Whole Loan, from amounts in the Serviced Whole Loan REO Account) allocable to the Mortgage Loans and transfer to the Certificate Administrator amounts reasonably determined by the Certificate Administrator to be necessary to pay such taxes, which the Certificate Administrator shall maintain in a separate, non-interest-bearing account, and the Certificate Administrator shall send to the Special Servicer for deposit in the REO Account (or, if applicable, the Serviced Whole Loan REO Account) the excess determined by the Certificate Administrator from time to time of the amount in such account over the amount necessary to pay such taxes) and shall be paid therefrom; provided that any such tax imposed on net income from foreclosure property that exceeds the amount in any such reserve shall be retained from Aggregate Available Funds as provided in Section 3.06(a)(xii) or, in the case of any Serviced Whole Loan, in Section 3.06(b)(xiii), and the next sentence. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, the Certificate Administrator is hereby authorized to and shall retain or cause to be retained from Aggregate Available Funds sufficient funds to pay or provide for the payment of, and to actually pay, such tax as is legally owed by the applicable Trust REMIC (but such authorization shall not prevent the Trustee from contesting, at the expense of the Trust Fund or in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan with a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, on a pro rata basis as between the related Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (based on their respective outstanding principal balances)) any such tax in appropriate proceedings, and withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings. The Certificate Administrator is hereby authorized to and shall segregate or cause to be segregated, into a separate non-interest bearing account, (i) the net income allocable to the Mortgage Loans from any “prohibited transaction”  under Section 860F(a) of the Code or (ii) the amount of any contribution to the Lower-Tier REMIC, the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan or the Upper-Tier REMIC after the Startup Day that is subject to tax under Section 860G(d) of the Code and use such income or amount, to the extent necessary, to pay such tax (and return the balance thereof, if any, to the Collection Account, the Lower-Tier Distribution Account or the Upper-Tier Distribution Account). To the extent that any such tax is paid to the IRS, the Certificate Administrator shall retain an equal amount from future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holders of the Class R Certificates, as the case may be, and shall distribute such retained amounts to the Holders of Non-VRR Certificates and the VRR Interest Owners, the Holders of the Loan-Specific Certificates and the UBR-VRR Interest Owner, or the Trustee as Holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests, until they are fully reimbursed and then to the Holders of the Class R Certificates. Neither the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, nor the Trustee shall be responsible for any taxes imposed on the Lower-Tier REMIC, the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC except to the extent such tax is attributable to a breach of a representation or warranty or the negligence or willful misconduct of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee or an act or omission of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee in contravention of this Agreement, provided, further, that such breach, act or omission could result in liability under Section 6.03 of this Agreement, in the case of the Master Servicer, Section 4.04 of this Agreement, in the case of the Trustee or Section 4.04 of this Agreement, in the case of the Certificate Administrator in


 



    -340-


     

    

 


accordance with the standard of liability
set forth in those sections. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in each such case, the Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer shall not be responsible for the Trustee’s or the Certificate Administrator’s breaches,
acts or omissions, the Trustee shall not be responsible for the breaches, acts or omissions of the Certificate Administrator,
the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator shall not be responsible for the breaches, acts
or omissions of the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer.  

 

Section 4.06    
Remittances.  On the Master Servicer Remittance Date immediately preceding each Distribution Date, the Master
Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan REMIC that it is servicing shall:

 

(i)         remit to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account (with respect to the Mortgage Loans) and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan REMIC Distribution Account (with respect to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loans) an amount equal to Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges, and, for deposit in accordance with Section 3.05(i) of this Agreement, Gain-on-Sale Proceeds, in each case received by the Master Servicer in its Collection Period preceding such Distribution Date;

 

(ii)        remit to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in (a) the Lower-Tier Distribution Account an amount equal to the aggregate of the Pooled Aggregate Available Funds for such Distribution Date; and (b) the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan REMIC Distribution Account and amount equal to the aggregate of the Chase Center Tower Available Funds for such Distribution;

 

(iii)      remit to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Excess Interest Distribution Account an amount equal to the Excess Interest for the benefit of the Holders of the Excess Interest Certificates and the RR Interest Owner received by the Master Servicer in the Collection Period preceding such Distribution Date; and

 

(iv)      
remit to CREFC® the CREFC®  Intellectual Property Royalty License
Fee.  

 

Section 4.07    
P&I Advances. (a) On or before 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on each Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Master
Servicer shall in the case of all Mortgage Loans either (i) remit to the Certificate Administrator for deposit into the (A) Lower-Tier
Distribution Account from its own funds an amount equal to the aggregate amount of P&I Advances, if any, with respect to the
Mortgage Loans to be made in respect of the related Distribution Date or, the (B) Trust Subordinate Companion Loan REMIC Distribution
Account from its own funds an amount equal to the aggregate amount of P&I Advances, if any, with respect to the Trust Subordinate
Companion Loans to be made in respect of the related Distribution Date, (ii) apply amounts held in the Collection Account or the
applicable Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account for future distribution to Certificateholders in subsequent months in discharge
of any such obligation to make P&I Advances; provided that such amounts in the applicable Serviced Whole Loan Collection
Account shall only be applied up to the related Mortgage Loan’s pro rata share of the amounts held therein on such date,
or (iii) make P&I Advances in the form of any combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the total amount of P&I Advances
to be made by the Master Servicer, except that the portion of such P&I Advance equal


 



    -341-


     

    

 


to the CREFC®  Intellectual
Property Royalty License Fee for each such Mortgage Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan shall not be remitted to the Certificate
Administrator but shall instead be remitted to CREFC® . Any amounts held in the Collection Account or any Serviced
Whole Loan Collection Account, as applicable, for future distribution and so used to make P&I Advances shall be appropriately
reflected in the Master Servicer’s records and replaced by the Master Servicer by deposit in the Collection Account or
the applicable Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account, as applicable, on or before the next succeeding P&I Advance Determination
Date (to the extent not previously replaced through either (x) the deposit of Late Collections of the delinquent principal and/or
interest in respect of which such P&I Advances were made or (y) the deposit of Periodic Payments collected prior to the expiration
of any applicable grace period that ends after the P&I Advance Determination Date in respect of which such P&I Advances
were made). The Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator of (i) the aggregate amount of P&I
Advances for a Distribution Date and (ii) the amount of any Nonrecoverable P&I Advances for such Distribution Date, on or
before the P&I Advance Determination Date. If the Master Servicer fails to make a required P&I Advance by 3:00 p.m. (New
York City time) on any Master Servicer Remittance Date, then the Trustee shall make such P&I Advance pursuant to Section
7.06 of this Agreement by 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the related Distribution Date, in each case unless the
Master Servicer shall have cured such failure (and shall have provided written notice of such cure to the Trustee) by 11:00 a.m.
(New York City time) on such Distribution Date or the Trustee determines that such P&I Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable
Advance. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall be required to make principal or interest advances with respect to
any delinquent payment amounts due on any Companion Loan (other than the Trust Subordinate Companion Loans). If the Master Servicer
or the Trustee makes a P&I Advance with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan with a related Serviced
Companion Loan or Non-Serviced Companion Loan, then it shall provide written notice to the related Other Servicer, Other Special
Servicer and Other Trustee of the amount of such P&I Advance with respect to such Mortgage Loan within two (2) Business Days
of making such P&I Advance.  

 

(b)        Subject to Section 4.07(c) and 4.07(d) below, the aggregate amount of P&I Advances to be made by the Master Servicer with respect to any Distribution Date shall equal the aggregate of: (i) the Periodic Payments (other than any Balloon Payment) (net of related Servicing Fees (other than, in the case of any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the servicing fee rate pursuant to the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement)) that were due on the Mortgage Loans, the Trust Subordinate Companion Loans and any REO Loan (including any portion of a REO Loan related to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loans, other than any portion of an REO Loan related to any other Companion Loan) during the related Collection Period and delinquent as of the P&I Advance Determination Date (or not advanced by any Sub Servicer on behalf of the Master Servicer) and (ii) with respect to each Mortgage Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan delinquent in respect of its Balloon Payment as of the Master Servicer Remittance Date (including any REO Loan (including any portion of a REO Loan related to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loans, other than any portion of an REO Loan related to any other Companion Loan) as to which the related Balloon Payment would have been past due), an amount equal to the Assumed Scheduled Payment or Chase Center Tower Assumed Scheduled Payment, as applicable, therefor. Subject to subsection (c) below, the obligation of the Master Servicer to make such P&I Advances, with respect to the Mortgage Loans that it is servicing, is mandatory, and with respect to any applicable Mortgage Loan, Trust Subordinate


 



    -342-


     

    

 


Companion Loan or REO Loan (including any portion of a REO Loan related to such Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, other than any portion of a REO Loan related to any other Companion Loan) shall continue until (but not including) the Distribution Date on which Liquidation Proceeds or REO Proceeds, if any, are to be distributed. The Periodic Payment or Assumed Scheduled Payment shall be reduced, for purposes of P&I Advances, by any modifications pursuant to Section 3.26 of this Agreement or otherwise and by any reductions by a bankruptcy court pursuant to a plan of reorganization or pursuant to any of its equitable powers.

 

(c)       
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no P&I Advance shall be required hereunder if the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, determines that such P&I Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I
Advance. In addition, neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall make any P&I Advance to the extent that it has received
written notice that the Special Servicer has determined (if no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, in consultation with
the Directing Holder) that such P&I Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance. In making such recoverability
determination, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, will be entitled to (i) give due regard
to the existence of any Nonrecoverable Advance or Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount with respect to other Mortgage Loans, the
recovery of which, at the time of such consideration, is being deferred or delayed by the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable,
in light of the fact that proceeds on the related Mortgage Loan are a source of recovery not only for the P&I Advance under
consideration, but also as a potential source of recovery of such Nonrecoverable Advance or Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount
which is being or may be deferred or delayed, (ii) consider (among other things) the obligations of the Borrower under the terms
of the related Mortgage Loan (or the Whole Loan, as applicable) as it may have been modified, (iii) consider (among other things)
the related Mortgaged Properties in their “as is”  or then current conditions and occupancies, as modified by such
party’s assumptions (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer)
regarding the possibility and effects of future adverse change with respect to such Mortgaged Properties, (iv) estimate and consider
(consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer) (among other things) future
expenses, (v) estimate and consider (among other things) the timing of recoveries, (vi) in the case of a potential P&I Advance
with respect to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loans, consider the subordinate nature of the Trust Subordinate Companion Loans,
it being the intent that no P&I Advance with respect to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loans should be reimbursed from out
of general collections of principal on the Mortgage Pool.  

 

The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, shall consider Unliquidated Advances in respect of prior P&I Advances for purposes of nonrecoverability determinations as if such Unliquidated Advances were unreimbursed P&I Advances. None of the Master Servicer or Trustee shall make any P&I Advances with respect to delinquent amounts due on any Companion Loan. If an Appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property shall not have been obtained within the prior 9-month period (and the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall each request any such appraisal from the Special Servicer prior to ordering an Appraisal pursuant to this sentence) or if such an Appraisal shall have been obtained but as a result of unforeseen occurrences, such Appraisal does not, in the good faith determination of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, reflect current market conditions, and the


 



    -343-


     

    

 


Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, and the Special Servicer cannot agree on the appropriate downward adjustment to such Appraisal, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, may, subject to its reasonable and good faith determination that such Appraisal will demonstrate the nonrecoverability of the related Advance, obtain an Appraisal for such purpose at the expense of the Trust Fund (subject, in the case of any Serviced Whole Loan, to the allocation provisions of the related Intercreditor Agreement).

 

Any such determination
by the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or the Trustee that the Master Servicer or Trustee, as applicable, has made a Nonrecoverable
P&I Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance shall be evidenced
by a certificate of a Servicing Officer delivered to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer, any related
Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Noteholder(s), the Directing Holder (but only if no Consultation Termination Event is continuing)
and the Depositor and, in the case of the Trustee, by a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, delivered to the
Depositor, the Directing Holder (but only if no Consultation Termination Event is continuing), the Certificate Administrator,
the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, which in each case sets forth such nonrecoverability determination and the considerations
of the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, forming the basis of such determination (such certificate
accompanied by, to the extent available, income and expense statements, rent rolls, occupancy status, property inspections and
other information used by the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, to make such determination, together
with any existing Appraisal or any Updated Appraisal); provided that with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan, the Special
Servicer may, at its option, make a determination in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that any P&I Advance previously
made or proposed to be made is nonrecoverable and shall deliver to the Master Servicer, the Directing Holder (but only if no Consultation
Termination Event is continuing) (and, with respect to a Serviced Mortgage Loan, to any Other Servicer or Other Special Servicer
under the pooling and servicing agreement into which the related Companion Loan is deposited), the Certificate Administrator,
the Trustee and the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s
Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement), notice of such determination, together with a certificate of a
Servicing Officer and the supporting information described above. Any such determination shall be conclusive and binding on the
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee.  

 

Any such Person may update or change its recoverability determinations at any time (but not reverse any other Person’s determination or prohibit any such other authorized Person from making a determination, that a P&I Advance constitutes, or would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance) and (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) may obtain, at the expense of the Trust Fund (subject, in the case of any Serviced Whole Loan, to the allocation provisions of the related Intercreditor Agreement), any analysis, Appraisals or market value estimates or other information for such purposes. Absent bad faith, any such determination as to the recoverability of any P&I Advance shall be conclusive and binding on the Certificateholders.

 

Notwithstanding the above, (i) the Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively on and be bound by any determination by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, that a P&I Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance and (ii) the Master


 



    -344-


     

    

 


Servicer shall be entitled to rely conclusively on and be bound by any determination of the Special Servicer that a P&I Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance (but this statement shall not be construed to entitle the Special Servicer to reverse any other authorized Person’s determination, or to prohibit any such other authorized Person from making a determination that an advance constitutes, or would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance). The Trustee, in determining whether or not a P&I Advance previously made is, or a proposed P&I Advance, if made, would be, a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance shall use its good faith business judgment. The Special Servicer shall promptly furnish the Master Servicer and the Trustee with any information in its possession regarding the Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties as each such party may reasonably request for purposes of making recoverability determinations.

 

(d)       
In connection with the recovery of any P&I Advance out of the Collection Account pursuant to Section
3.06(a) of this Agreement or any Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account pursuant to Section
3.06(b) of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to pay itself or the Trustee, as the case may be (in
reverse of such order with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Property) out of any amounts then on deposit in the Collection
Account or the applicable Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account (subject to the provisions of Section
3.06) (to the extent amounts therein relate to the Mortgage Loans, taking into account the related Intercreditor Agreement),
interest at the Reimbursement Rate in effect from time to time, accrued on the amount of such P&I Advance from the date made
to, but not including, the date of reimbursement with respect to the Mortgage Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan that the
Master Servicer is servicing; provided, however, that no interest will accrue on any P&I Advance (i) made with
respect to a Mortgage Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan until after the related Due Date has passed and any applicable
grace period has expired or (ii) if the related Periodic Payment is received after the Determination Date but on or prior to the
Business Day immediately prior to the related Distribution Date. The Master Servicer shall reimburse itself or the Trustee, as
the case may be, for any outstanding P&I Advance as soon as practicably possible after funds available for such purpose are
deposited in the Collection Account or the applicable Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account with respect to the Mortgage Loan
or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan that the Master Servicer is servicing.  

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 4.06 of this Agreement, (i) neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall make an advance for Excess Interest, Yield Maintenance Charges or Penalty Charges and (ii) if the Master Servicer receives notice of an Appraisal Reduction Event and the related Appraisal Reduction Amount, the interest portion of any P&I Advance with respect to a Serviced Mortgage Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, as applicable, as to which there has been an Appraisal Reduction Amount will be an amount equal to the product of (x) the amount required to be advanced without giving effect to the Appraisal Reduction Amount and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, as applicable, as of the immediately preceding Determination Date less any Appraisal Reduction Amount applicable to such Mortgage Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, as applicable, and the denominator of which is the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan as of such Determination Date. All P&I Advances for any Mortgage Loans or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan that have been modified shall be calculated on the basis of their terms as modified. With respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage


 



    -345-


     

    

 


Loan, if the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, does not receive notice of an Appraisal Reduction Event and the related Appraisal Reduction Amount from the related Other Servicer, then the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall have no obligation to proportionately reduce the interest portion of any P&I Advance required to be made by the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable. With respect to any Non-Serviced Companion Loan that has already been securitized prior to the Closing Date, the Certificate Administrator, on behalf of the Trust, shall notify each Other Servicer and each Other Trustee of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan that (a) such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan has been included in this Trust and (b) upon (i) the existence of an Appraisal Reduction Event and/or (ii) the related calculation of any Appraisal Reduction Amount (or receipt of notice of any such calculation), such Other Servicer shall provide the Master Servicer (who shall promptly provide to the Special Servicer (who shall promptly forward, prior to a Consultation Termination Event, to the Directing Holder)) and the Trustee with prompt notice of the existence of any such Appraisal Reduction Event and/or any such Appraisal Reduction Amount once calculated. With respect to any Serviced Companion Loan, the Master Servicer shall notify the related Other Servicer and Other Trustee of the existence of an Appraisal Reduction Event and any related Appraisal Reduction Amount. The Master Servicer shall be deemed to have delivered notice of any such Appraisal Reduction Event and any related Appraisal Reduction Amount if the Master Servicer includes such event and/or amount in its monthly servicer statements provided to the other servicer.

 

The portion of any Insurance Proceeds and Net Liquidation Proceeds in respect of a Mortgage Loan, Trust Subordinate Companion Loan or any REO Loan allocable to principal shall equal the total amount of such proceeds minus (i) any portion thereof payable to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) a portion thereof equal to the interest component of the Periodic Payment(s), as accrued at the related Net Mortgage Rate from the date as to which interest was last paid by the Borrower up to but not including the Due Date in the Collection Period in which such proceeds are received; provided that, if the interest portion(s) of one or more P&I Advances with respect of such Mortgage Loan, Trust Subordinate Companion Loan or REO Loan, as applicable, were reduced as a result of an Appraisal Reduction Event, the amount of the Net Liquidation Proceeds to be applied to interest shall be reduced by the aggregate amount of such reductions and the portion of such Net Liquidation Proceeds to be applied to principal shall be increased by such amount, and if the amount of the Net Liquidation Proceeds to be applied to principal has been applied to pay the principal of such Mortgage Loan, Trust Subordinate Companion Loan or REO Loan in full, any remaining Net Liquidation Proceeds shall then be applied to pay any remaining accrued and unpaid interest of such Mortgage Loan, Trust Subordinate Companion Loan or REO Loan.

 

(e)        With respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee will each be permitted to make its determination that the Master Servicer or the Trustee has made a P&I Advance on such Mortgage Loan that is a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance with respect to such Mortgage Loan in accordance with Section 4.07(a) independently of any determination made by the Other Servicer (or any master servicer with respect to a commercial mortgage securitization holding another Non-Serviced Companion Loan related to such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if any) under the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement (or any pooling and servicing agreement with respect to a commercial


 



    -346-


     

    

 


mortgage securitization holding another Non-Serviced Companion Loan related to such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if any). If the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, determines that a proposed P&I Advance with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if made, or any outstanding P&I Advance with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan previously made, would be, or is, as applicable, a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall provide the Other Servicer (and any master servicer with respect to a commercial mortgage securitization holding another Non-Serviced Companion Loan related to such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if any), the Other Special Servicer and Other Trustee with written notice of such determination, promptly and in any event within two (2) Business Days after such determination or such longer time period permitted by the applicable Intercreditor Agreement. If the Master Servicer receives written notice from an Other Servicer (relating to the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement that governs the servicing and administration of the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan) that it has determined, with respect to the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan, that any proposed advance of principal and/or interest with respect to the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan would be, or any outstanding advance of principal and interest is, a nonrecoverable advance of principal and/or interest, such determination shall not be binding on the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer or the Trustee; provided that, with respect to each Non-Serviced Whole Loan, each of the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any such nonrecoverability determination.

 

If the Master Servicer
receives notice from a Rating Agency that it is no longer approved as a master servicer for commercial mortgage securitizations,
it shall promptly notify the Trustee, any Other Trustee, any Other Servicer and any other trustee or master servicer with respect
to each commercial mortgage securitization that holds a Non-Serviced Companion Loan related to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if
any.  

 

(f)         With respect to any Serviced Whole Loan that has a Serviced Companion Loan, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee will be permitted to make its determination that the Master Servicer or the Trustee has made a P&I Advance on the related Mortgage Loan that is a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance with respect to such Mortgage Loan in accordance with Section 4.07(a) independently of any determination made in respect of the related Serviced Companion Loan, by the master servicer under the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement. If the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, determines that a proposed P&I Advance with respect to such Serviced Whole Loan, if made, or any outstanding P&I Advance with respect to any such Mortgage Loan previously made, would be, or is, as applicable, a Nonrecoverable Advance or if the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, subsequently determines that a proposed Servicing Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance or an outstanding Servicing Advance is or would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Master Servicer or Trustee, as applicable, shall provide the Other Servicer, Other Special Servicer and the Other Trustee under each related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement with written notice of such determination, promptly and in any event within two (2) Business Days after such determination or such longer time period permitted by the applicable Intercreditor Agreement. If the Master Servicer receives written notice from any master servicer under any such Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement that such master servicer has determined, with respect to the related Serviced Companion Loan, that any proposed


 



    -347-


     

    

 


advance of principal and/or interest with respect to such Serviced Companion Loan would be, or any outstanding advance of principal and interest is, a nonrecoverable advance of principal and/or interest, such determination shall not be binding on the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer or the Trustee; provided that, with respect to each Non-Serviced Whole Loan, each of the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any such nonrecoverability determination.

 

(g)        If the applicable Master Servicer receives notice from a Rating Agency that it is no longer approved as a master servicer for commercial mortgage securitizations, it shall promptly notify the Trustee, any Other Trustee, any Other Servicer and any other trustee or master servicer with respect to each commercial mortgage securitization that holds a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan related to any Serviced Whole Loan, if any.

 

(h)        The Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to the reimbursement of P&I Advances it makes to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 3.06 of this Agreement together with any related Advance Interest Amount in respect of such P&I Advances to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 3.06 of this Agreement and the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each hereby covenants and agrees to promptly seek and effect the reimbursement of such Advances from the related Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law and the related Mortgage Loan (or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan) and this Agreement.

 

Section 4.08    
Appraisal Reductions; Collateral Deficiency Amounts.  (a) For purposes of (x) determining the Pooled
Non-Reduced Certificates, the Controlling Class and whether a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, and (y)
determining the Voting Rights of the related Classes for purposes of removal of the Special Servicer, the VRR Percentage of the
Appraisal Reduction Amounts allocated to the Mortgage Loans will be allocated to the VRR Interest to notionally reduce (to not
less than zero) the VRR Interest Balance thereof. The Non-VRR Percentage of the Appraisal Reduction Amounts allocated to the Mortgage
Loans will be allocated to each Class of Pooled Principal Balance Certificates in reverse sequential order to notionally reduce
the related Certificate Balances until the Certificate Balance of each such Class of Certificates is reduced to zero (i.e.,
first, to the Class D Certificates, second,
to the Class C Certificates, third, to the Class B Certificates, fourth,
to the Class A-M Certificates, and fifth, to the Class A-1, Class A-2 and Class A-3 Certificates,
pro rata, based on their Certificate Balances).

 

As a result of calculating one or more Appraisal Reduction Amounts that is allocated to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loans, the amount of any required P&I Advance with respect to such Trust Subordinate Companion Loan shall be reduced, which will have the effect of reducing the amount of interest available to the Loan-Specific Certificates then-outstanding in reverse sequential order.

 

As of the first Determination Date following a Serviced Mortgage Loan becoming an AB Modified Loan, the Master Servicer shall calculate whether a Collateral Deficiency Amount exists with respect to such AB Modified Loan, taking into account the most recent Appraisal obtained by the Special Servicer with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, as applicable, and all other information relevant to a Collateral Deficiency Amount determination. Upon obtaining knowledge or receipt of notice by the Master


 



    -348-


     

    

 


Servicer that a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan
has become an AB Modified Loan, the Master Servicer shall (i) promptly request from the related Other Servicer, Other Special
Servicer and Other Trustee the most recent appraisal with respect to such AB Modified Loan, in addition to all other information
reasonably required by the Master Servicer to calculate whether a Collateral Deficiency Amount exists with respect to such AB
Modified Loan, and (ii) as of the first Determination Date following receipt by the Master Servicer of the appraisal and any other
information set forth in the immediately preceding clause (i) that the Master Servicer reasonably expects to receive, calculate
whether a Collateral Deficiency Amount exists with respect to such AB Modified Loan, taking into account the most recent appraisal
obtained by the Other Special Servicer with respect to such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, and all other information relevant to
a Collateral Deficiency Amount determination. Upon obtaining knowledge or receipt of notice by any other party to this Agreement
that a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan has become an AB Modified Loan, such party shall promptly notify the Master Servicer thereof.
The Special Servicer, upon reasonable prior written request, shall provide the Master Servicer with information in its possession
(or that is reasonably obtainable at no additional expense) that is reasonably required to calculate or recalculate any Collateral
Deficiency Amount. Upon reasonable prior written request, the Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to assist the Master
Servicer in obtaining information reasonably required to calculate or recalculate any Collateral Deficiency Amount with respect
to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan in the event that the Master Servicer is unsuccessful in obtaining such information from the related
Other Servicer, Other Special Servicer or Other Trustee. None of the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator
shall calculate or verify any Collateral Deficiency Amount.  

 

For purposes of determining the Pooled Non-Reduced Certificates, the Controlling Class and the occurrence of a Control Termination Event, the VRR Percentage of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts shall be allocated to the VRR Interest to notionally reduce (to not less than zero) the VRR Interest Balance thereof, and the Non-VRR Percentage of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts will be allocated to each class of Pooled Principal Balance Certificates in reverse sequential order to notionally reduce the Certificate Balance thereof until the related Certificate Balance of each such class is reduced to zero.

 

For purposes of determining the Non-Reduced Certificates, the Chase Center Tower Controlling Class and the occurrence of a Chase Center Tower Control Appraisal Period, Appraisal Reduction Amounts allocated to the Chase Center Tower Whole Loans will be allocated first to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loans and then to the Chase Center Tower Mortgage Loans. The Chase Center Tower Non-VRR Percentage of the Appraisal Reduction Amounts allocated to a Trust Subordinate Companion Loan will be allocated to each class of Loan-Specific Certificates in reverse sequential order to notionally reduce the Certificate Balance thereof until the related Certificate Balance of each such class is reduced to zero (i.e., first, to the Class UBR-D Certificates, second, to the Class UBR-C Certificates, and finally, to the Class UBR-B Certificates). The UBR-VRR Percentage of the Appraisal Reduction Amounts allocated a Trust Subordinate Companion Loan will be allocated to the UBR-VRR Interest to notionally reduce (to not less than zero) the Certificate Balance of the UBR-VRR Interest. In addition, for purposes of determining the Chase Center Tower Controlling Class and the occurrence of a Chase Center Tower Control Appraisal Period, Chase Center Tower Non-VRR Percentage of Collateral Deficiency Amounts allocated to the Trust Subordinate Companion Loans will be allocated to each class of Chase Center Tower Control Eligible Certificates in


 



    -349-


     

    

 


reverse sequential order to notionally reduce the Certificate Balance thereof until the related Certificate Balance of each such class is reduced to zero (i.e., first, to the Class UBR-D Certificates, second, to the Class UBR-C Certificates, and finally, to the Class UBR-B Certificates). For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of determining the Chase Center Tower Controlling Class and the occurrence of a Chase Center Tower Control Appraisal Period, any Class of Chase Center Tower Control Eligible Certificates will be allocated both applicable Appraisal Reduction Amounts and applicable Collateral Deficiency Amounts, as described in this paragraph.

 

For purposes of determining
the Controlling Class and whether a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, Collateral Deficiency Amounts allocated
to an AB Modified Loan will be allocated by applying the Non-VRR Percentage of the Collateral Deficiency Amounts to each Class
of Control Eligible Certificates in reverse sequential order to notionally reduce the related Certificate Balances until the Certificate
Balance of each such Class of Control Eligible Certificates is reduced to zero. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of determining
the Controlling Class or the occurrence of a Control Termination Event, any Class of Control Eligible Certificates shall be allocated
the Non-VRR Percentage of both applicable Appraisal Reduction Amounts and applicable Collateral Deficiency Amounts (the sum of
which shall constitute the applicable Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount), in accordance with this Section 4.08(a).  

 

With respect to (i) any Appraisal Reduction Amount calculated for the purposes of determining the Non-Reduced Certificates or determining the Voting Rights of the related Classes for purposes of removal of the Special Servicer and (ii) any Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount calculated for purposes of determining the Controlling Class or the occurrence of a Control Termination Event, the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property shall be determined on an “as is”  basis.

 

The Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Certificate Administrator and the Special Servicer of the amount of any Appraisal Reduction Amount (which notification shall be made by delivery of the CREFC®  Loan Periodic Update File in accordance with Section 3.13(a)), any Collateral Deficiency Amount and any resulting Cumulative Appraisal Amount allocated to each Mortgage Loan, AB Modified Loan or Serviced Whole Loan if any (which notification shall be satisfied through the delivery of such information included in the CREFC®  Appraisal Reduction Amount Template included in the CREFC®  Investor Reporting Package (or such other form as agreed to by the Certificate Administrator and the Master Servicer), which shall be delivered simultaneously with the CREFC®  Loan Periodic Update File in accordance with Section 3.13(a)). Based on information in its possession, the Certificate Administrator shall determine from time to time which Class of Certificates is the Controlling Class. Promptly upon its determination of a change in the Controlling Class, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer of such event, including the identity and contact information of the new Controlling Class Certificateholder (the cost of obtaining such information from the Depository being an expense of the Trust).

 

(b)        The Holders of the majority (by Certificate Balance) of any Class of Control Eligible Certificates or Chase Center Tower Control Eligible Certificates whose aggregate Certificate Balance, as notionally reduced by Appraisal Reduction Amounts or Collateral Deficiency Amounts allocated thereto, is less than 25% of the initial Certificate


 



    -350-


     

    

 


Principal Balance of such Class (such Class,
an “Appraised-Out Class” ) as a result of an allocation of an Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency
Amount in respect of such Class shall have the right, at their sole expense, to require the Special Servicer to order a second
Appraisal of any Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan) for which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred or as to which there
exists a Collateral Deficiency Amount (such Holders, the “Requesting Holders” ), and use its reasonable efforts to
obtain an Appraisal prepared on an “as-is”  basis by an MAI appraiser reasonably acceptable to the Special Servicer
within 60 days from receipt of the Requesting Holders’ written request. Any Appraised-Out Class for which the Requesting
Holders are challenging the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount determination shall not exercise any rights
of the Controlling Class or Chase Center Tower Controlling Class, until such time, if any, as such Class is reinstated as the
Controlling Class or Chase Center Tower Controlling Class, as applicable, and the rights of the Controlling Class will be exercised
by the next most senior Control Eligible Certificates, if any, during such period. During such period, the rights of the Chase
Center Tower Controlling Class during each Appraisal Review Period shall be exercised by the next most senior Control Eligible
Certificates or Chase Center Tower Control Eligible Certificates, respectively, if any, and otherwise, by the Pooled Trust Directing
Holder.  

 

In addition, the Requesting Holders of any Appraised-Out Class shall have the right, at their sole expense, to require the Special Servicer to order an additional appraisal of any Serviced Mortgage Loan for which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred or as to which there exists a Collateral Deficiency Amount if an event has occurred at or with regard to the related Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties that would have a material effect on its appraised value, and the Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to obtain an Appraisal prepared on an “as-is”  basis by an MAI appraiser reasonably acceptable to the Special Servicer within 60 days from receipt of the Requesting Holders’ written request; provided that the Special Servicer shall not be required to obtain such appraisal if it determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that no events at or with regard to the related Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties have occurred that would have a material effect on the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties. The right of the holders of an Appraised-Out Class to require the Special Servicer to order an additional appraisal as described in this paragraph shall be limited to no more frequently than once in any 9-month period with respect to any Mortgage Loan.

 

Upon receipt of any such second Appraisal, the Special Servicer shall send such Appraisal to the Master Servicer, and the Master Servicer shall recalculate such Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount, as applicable, based upon such second Appraisal and receipt of information reasonably requested by the Master Servicer from the Special Servicer, to the extent such information is in the possession of, or reasonably obtainable at no additional expense by, the Special Servicer, and is reasonably necessary to make such recalculation. If required by any such recalculation, the Appraised-Out Class shall be reinstated as the Controlling Class or the Chase Center Tower Controlling Class.

 

Appraisals that are permitted to be obtained by the Special Servicer at the request of holders of an Appraised-Out Class shall be in addition to any appraisals that the Special Servicer may otherwise be required to obtain in accordance with the Servicing Standard or this


 



    -351-


     

    

 


Agreement without regard to any appraisal requests made by any holder of an Appraised-Out Class.

 

(c)        An appraisal for any Mortgage Loan that has not been brought current for at least three consecutive Periodic Payments (or paid in full, liquidated, repurchased or otherwise disposed of) will be updated every 9 months for so long as an Appraisal Reduction Event or Collateral Deficiency Amount exists.

 

(d)       
Notwithstanding the foregoing, within 60 days after an Appraisal Reduction Event (or in the case of an Appraisal Reduction Event
occurring by reason of clause (ii) of the definition thereof, within 30 days of such Appraisal Reduction Event) (i) with respect
to Serviced Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loans having a Stated Principal Balance of $2,000,000 or higher,
the Special Servicer shall order and use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to obtain an Updated Appraisal or (ii)
with respect to Serviced Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loans having a Stated Principal Balance of less than
$2,000,000, the Special Servicer, at its option, shall (A) provide a Small Loan Appraisal Estimate within the same time period
as an Appraisal would otherwise be required and such Small Loan Appraisal Estimate shall be used in lieu of an Updated Appraisal
to calculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount for such Mortgage Loans or applicable Serviced Whole Loans; or (B) order and use efforts
consistent with the Servicing Standard to obtain an Updated Appraisal.  

 

(e)        The Special Servicer, upon reasonable request, shall deliver to the Master Servicer any information in the Special Servicer’s possession (or that is reasonably obtainable at no additional expense by the Special Servicer) reasonably required to determine, calculate, redetermine or recalculate any Appraisal Reduction Amount.

 

On the first Determination Date occurring at least 10 Business Days after the later of (i) date the Master Servicer receives from the Special Servicer the related Updated Appraisal or the Special Servicer’s Small Loan Appraisal Estimate, as applicable, and (ii) the occurrence of an Appraisal Reduction Event, the Master Servicer shall adjust the Appraisal Reduction Amount to take into account such Updated Appraisal or Small Loan Appraisal Estimate, as applicable and any information reasonably requested by the Master Servicer from the Special Servicer, to the extent such information is in the possession of the Special Servicer, necessary to calculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount. Each Appraisal Reduction Amount shall also be adjusted to take into account any subsequent Small Loan Appraisal Estimate or Updated Appraisal, as applicable, and any letter updates, as of the date of each such subsequent Small Loan Appraisal Estimate, Updated Appraisal or letter update, as applicable, and receipt of information reasonably requested by the Master Servicer from the Special Servicer, to the extent such information is in the possession of (or reasonably obtainable at no additional expense by) the Special Servicer and is reasonably necessary to calculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount. Such report shall also be forwarded by the Master Servicer, to the extent the related Serviced Companion Loan has been included in a securitization transaction, to the master servicer of such securitization into which the related Serviced Companion Loan has been sold, or to the holder of any related Serviced Companion Loan by the Master Servicer.

Section 4.09     Grantor Trust Reporting. The Certificate Administrator shall maintain adequate books and records to account for the separate entitlements of the Grantor Trust.

 

(a)        The parties intend that the Grantor Trust shall be treated as a “grantor trust”  under the Code, and the provisions thereof shall be interpreted consistently with this intention. In furtherance of such intention, none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall vary the assets of the Grantor Trust so as to take advantage of market fluctuations or so as to improve the rate of return of the Grantor Trust Certificates, and shall otherwise comply with Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-4(c). Within 30 days of the Closing Date, the Certificate Administrator shall obtain a taxpayer identification number for the Grantor Trust on IRS Form SS-4. The Certificate Administrator shall file or cause to be filed with the IRS Form 1041 (or, if the Grantor Trust is a WHFIT, information will be provided on Form 1099) or such other form as may be applicable and shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Holders of the Grantor Trust Certificates and the RR Interest Owner their allocable share of income and expense with respect to the Class S Grantor Trust Assets with the corresponding alphabetic or alphanumeric designation and proceeds thereof, as such amounts are received or accrue, as applicable.

 

(b)        The Grantor Trust will be treated as a WHFIT that is a WHMT. The Certificate Administrator shall report as required under the WHFIT Regulations to the extent such information as is reasonably necessary to enable the Certificate Administrator to do so is provided to the Certificate Administrator on a timely basis. The Certificate Administrator is hereby directed to assume that DTC, “Embassy & Co.”  and “Hare & Co.”  are the only “middleman”  as defined by the WHFIT Regulations unless the Depositor provides the Certificate Administrator with the identities of other “middlemen”  that are Certificateholders. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to rely on the first sentence of this Section 4.09(c)(i), and shall be entitled to indemnification in accordance with the terms of this Agreement in the event that the IRS makes a determination that any such notice is incorrect.

 

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

 

(ii)          The Certificate Administrator shall not be liable for failure to meet the reporting requirements of the WHFIT Regulations nor for any penalties thereunder if such failure is due to: (i) the lack of reasonably necessary information being provided to the Certificate Administrator or (ii) incomplete, inaccurate or untimely information being provided to the Certificate Administrator. Each owner of a class of securities representing, in whole or in part, beneficial ownership of an interest in a WHFIT, by acceptance of its interest in such class of securities, will be deemed to have agreed to provide the Certificate Administrator with information regarding any sale of such

 

 



    -353-


     

    

 

securities, including the price, amount of proceeds and date of sale. Absent receipt of information regarding any sale of Certificates, including the price, amount of proceeds and date of sale from the beneficial owner thereof or the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator shall assume there is no secondary market trading of WHFIT interests.

 

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

 

Section 4.10     [Reserved].

Each Certificate will share ratably in all rights of the related Class.

 

The Class S and Class R Certificates will each be issuable in one or more Individual Certificates in minimum denominations of 5% Percentage Interests and integral multiples of a 1% Percentage Interest in excess thereof and together aggregating the entire 100% Percentage Interest in each such Class.

 

The Global Certificates shall be issued as one or more certificates registered in the name of a nominee designated by the Depository, and Certificate Owners shall hold interests in the Global Certificates through the book-entry facilities of the Depository in the minimum Denominations and aggregate Denominations and Classes as set forth above.

 

The Global Certificates shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as Individual Certificates authenticated and delivered hereunder.

 

The Retained Certificates shall each be issuable in one or more Individual Certificates at all times during the Transfer Restriction Period.

 

(b)        Except insofar as pertains to any Individual Certificate, the Trust Fund, the Certificate Administrator, the Paying Agent and the Trustee may for all purposes (including the making of payments due on the Global Certificates and the giving of notice to Holders thereof) deal with the Depository as the authorized representative of the Certificate Owners with respect to the Global Certificates for the purposes of exercising the rights of Certificateholders hereunder; provided that, for purposes of transmitting communications pursuant to Section 5.05(a) of this Agreement, to the extent that the Depositor has provided the Certificate Administrator with the names of Certificate Owners (even if such Certificateholders hold their Certificates through the Depository) the Certificate Administrator shall provide such information to such Certificate Owners directly. The rights of Certificate Owners with respect to Global Certificates shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Certificateholders and the Depository and Depository Participants. Except as set forth in Section 5.01(e) below, Certificate Owners of Global Certificates shall not be entitled to physical

 

 



    -355-


     

    

 

certificates for the Global Certificates as to which they are the Certificate Owners. Requests and directions from, and votes of, the Depository as Holder of the Global Certificates shall not be deemed inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Certificate Owners. Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 5.01 of this Agreement and Applicable Procedures, the holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate may request that the Certificate Administrator cause the Depository (or any Agent Member) to notify the Certificate Registrar and the Certificate Custodian in writing of a request for transfer or exchange of such beneficial interest for an Individual Certificate or Certificates. Upon receipt of such a request and payment by the related Certificate Owner of any attendant expenses, the Certificate Administrator shall cause the issuance and delivery of such Individual Certificates. The Certificate Registrar may establish a reasonable record date in connection with solicitations of consents from or voting by Certificateholders and give notice to the Depository of such record date. Without the written consent of the Certificate Registrar, no Global Certificate may be transferred by the Depository except to a successor Depository that agrees to hold the Global Certificates for the account of the Certificate Owners.

 

(c)        Any of the Certificates may be issued with appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and variations, and may have imprinted or otherwise reproduced thereon such legend or legends, not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, as may be required to comply with any law or with rules or regulations pursuant thereto, or with the rules of any securities market in which the Certificates are admitted to trading, or to conform to general usage.

 

(d)        The Global Certificates (i) shall be delivered by the Certificate Registrar to the Depository or, pursuant to the Depository’s instructions on behalf of the Depository to, and deposited with, the Certificate Custodian, and in either case shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co. and (ii) shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect:

 

“Unless this certificate is presented by an authorized representative of The Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation (“DTC” ), to the Certificate Registrar for registration of transfer, exchange or payment, and any certificate issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC (and any payment is made to Cede & Co. or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL inasmuch as the registered owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein.” 

 

The Global Certificates may be deposited with such other Depository as the Certificate Registrar may from time to time designate, and shall bear such legend as may be appropriate.

 

(e)        If (i) the Depository advises the Certificate Administrator in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able properly to discharge its responsibilities as Depository, and the Certificate Administrator and the Depositor are unable to locate a qualified successor within 90 days of such notice or (ii) the Trustee has instituted or has been directed to

 

 



    -356-


     

    

 

institute any judicial proceeding to enforce the rights of the Holders of such Class and the Trustee has been advised by counsel that in connection with such proceeding it is necessary or appropriate for the Certificate Registrar to obtain possession of the Certificates of such Class, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the affected Certificate Owner or Owners through the Depository of the occurrence of such event and the availability of Individual Certificates to such Certificate Owners requesting them. Upon surrender to the Certificate Administrator of Global Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for registration of transfer, the Certificate Administrator shall issue the Individual Certificates. Neither the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer nor the Depositor shall be liable for any actions taken by the Depository or its nominee, including, without limitation, any delay in delivery of such instructions. Upon the issuance of Individual Certificates, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar and the Master Servicer shall recognize the Holders of Individual Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.

 

(f)         If the Trustee, its agents, the Certificate Administrator, its agents or the Master Servicer or Special Servicer have instituted or have been directed to institute any judicial proceeding in a court to enforce the rights of the Certificateholders under the Certificates, and the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer have been advised by counsel that in connection with such proceeding it is necessary or appropriate for the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to obtain possession of the Certificates, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may in their sole discretion determine that the Certificates represented by the Global Certificates shall no longer be represented by such Global Certificates. In such event, the Certificate Administrator or the Authenticating Agent will execute and authenticate and the Certificate Registrar will deliver, in exchange for such Global Certificates, Individual Certificates (and if the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Custodian has in its possession Individual Certificates previously executed, the Authenticating Agent will authenticate and the Certificate Registrar will deliver such Certificates) in a Denomination equal to the aggregate Denomination of such Global Certificates.

 

(g)        Each Certificate may be printed or in typewritten or similar form, and each Certificate shall, upon original issue, be executed and authenticated by the Certificate Administrator or the Authenticating Agent and delivered to, or at the order of, the Depositor. All Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the Certificate Administrator or Authenticating Agent by an authorized officer or signatory. Certificates bearing the signature of an individual who was at any time the proper officer or signatory of the Certificate Administrator or Authenticating Agent shall bind the Certificate Administrator or Authenticating Agent, notwithstanding that such individual has ceased to hold such office or position prior to the delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such office or position at the date of such Certificates. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate a certificate of authentication in the form set forth in Exhibit A-1 through Exhibit A-13 executed by the Authenticating Agent by manual signature, and such certificate of authentication upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication.

(h)        If, in connection with any Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall have reported the amount of an anticipated distribution to the Depository based on the expected receipt of any monthly payment based on information set forth in any report of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, or any other monthly payment, Balloon Payment or prepayment expected to be or which is paid on the last two Business Days preceding such Distribution Date, and the related Borrower fails to make such payments at such time, the Certificate Administrator shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Depository to make the revised distribution on a timely basis on such Distribution Date. The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator (in any of its capacities), the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not be liable or held responsible for any resulting delay (or claims by the Depository resulting therefrom) in the making of such distribution to Certificateholders. Any out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Certificate Administrator as a consequence of a Borrower failing to make such payments shall be reimbursable to the Certificate Administrator as an expense of the Trust Fund.

 

(i)         During the Transfer Restriction Period, each Retained Certificate shall only be held as Individual Certificates in the Retained Interest Safekeeping Account by the Certificate Administrator (and each Retaining Party’s respective interest shall be tracked in the form of an entry in the Certificate Administrator’s trust accounting system under the Retained Interest Safekeeping Account), for the benefit of the Holder of the related Certificate. The Certificate Administrator shall hold such Retained Certificates in safekeeping and shall release the same only upon receipt of (i) written instructions from the holder of the Retained Certificates and the Retaining Sponsor, and in accordance with any authentication procedures as may be utilized by the Certificate Administrator and in accordance with this Agreement, and (ii) any certifications or other requirements governing transfers of the Retained Certificate required under Section 5.02(m). There shall be, and hereby is, established by the Certificate Administrator an account which will be designated the “Retained Interest Safekeeping Account”  and into which the Retained Certificates shall be held and which shall be governed by and subject to this Agreement. In addition, on and after the date hereof, the Certificate Administrator may establish any number of subaccounts to the Retained Interest Safekeeping Account for each Retaining Party. The Retained Certificates to be delivered in physical form to the Certificate Administrator shall be delivered as set forth herein. No amounts distributable to the Retained Certificates shall be remitted to the Retained Interest Safekeeping Account, but shall be remitted directly to each Retaining Party in accordance with written instructions provided separately by each Retaining Party to the Certificate Administrator. Under no circumstances by virtue of safekeeping the Retained Certificates shall the Certificate Administrator be obligated to bring legal action or institute proceedings against any person on behalf of the Retaining Parties. During the Transfer Restriction Period and for such longer time as the applicable Retaining Party may request, the Certificate Administrator shall hold the Retained Certificates in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons at the below location, or any other location; provided that the Certificate Administrator has given notice to each of the Retaining Parties of such new location:

The Certificate Administrator shall make available to each VRR Retaining Party its respective account information as mutually agreed upon by the Certificate Administrator and such VRR Retaining Party, and in accordance with the Certificate Administrator’s policies and procedures. Any transfer of a Certificate evidencing the VRR Interest shall be subject to this Article V. During the Transfer Restriction Period, unless the Retaining Sponsor and the Depositor otherwise consent in writing, the Certificate Administrator shall not permit any Person to copy (other than for internal purposes), and shall not itself provide to any Person copies of, the executed Certificates held by it in the Retained Interest Safekeeping Account.

 

Section 5.02     Registration, Transfer and Exchange of Certificates. (a) The Certificate Administrator shall keep or cause to be kept at its offices books (the “Certificate Register” ) for the registration, transfer and exchange of Certificates (the Certificate Administrator, in such capacity, being the “Certificate Registrar” ). The Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall have the right to inspect the Certificate Register or to obtain a copy thereof at all reasonable times, and to rely conclusively upon a certificate of the Certificate Registrar as to the information set forth in the Certificate Register. The names and addresses of all Certificateholders and the names and addresses of the transferees of any Certificates shall be registered in the Certificate Register; provided that, in no event shall the Certificate Registrar be required to maintain in the Certificate Register the names of the individual Participants holding beneficial interests in the Trust Fund through the Depository. The Person in whose name any Certificate is so registered shall be deemed and treated as the sole owner and Holder thereof for all purposes of this Agreement and the Depositor, Certificate Registrar, the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, any Paying Agent and any agent of any of them shall not be affected by any notice or knowledge to the contrary. An Individual Certificate is transferable or exchangeable only upon the surrender of such Certificate to the Certificate Registrar at its offices together with an assignment and transfer (executed by the Holder or his duly authorized attorney), subject to the requirements of Section 5.01(g) and Sections 5.02(c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h) and (i) of this Agreement. Upon request of the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar shall provide the Certificate Administrator with the names, addresses and Percentage Interests of the Holders. In its capacity as Certificate Registrar, the Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for, among other things, holding each Certificate evidencing the VRR Interest as Individual Certificates on behalf of each Holder of such Certificates in accordance with Section 5.01(i).

 

(b)        Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Individual Certificate, subject to the requirements of Sections 5.02(c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h) and (i) of this Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall duly authenticate in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in Denominations of a like aggregate Denomination as the Individual Certificate being surrendered. Such Certificates shall be delivered by the Certificate Registrar in accordance with Section 5.02(e) of this Agreement. Each Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer shall be canceled and subsequently destroyed by the Certificate Registrar. Each new Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 5.02 shall be registered in the name of any Person as the transferring Holder may request, subject to the provisions of Sections 5.01(g) and 5.02(c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h) and (i) of this Agreement.

(A)       Other than the initial transfer from the Initial Purchasers to an initial investor, the Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of such Individual Certificate (other than the Direct Sale Certificates when initially sold to JPMCB) if the requested transfer is being made by a transferee who has provided the Certificate Registrar with an Investment Representation Letter substantially in the form of Exhibit D-1 to this Agreement (an “Investment Representation Letter” ), to the effect that the transfer is being made to a Qualified Institutional Buyer in accordance with Rule 144A;

    -361-


     

    

 

take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the related Regulation S Global Certificate, such holder may, in addition to complying with all Applicable Procedures, transfer or cause the transfer of such beneficial interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in such Regulation S Global Certificate only upon compliance with the provisions of this Section 5.02(c)(ii)(B). Upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar at the Corporate Trust Office of (1) written instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures from an Agent Member directing the Certificate Registrar to credit or cause to be credited to another specified Agent Member’s account a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Certificate in an amount equal to the Denomination of the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate to be transferred, (2) a written order given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the account of the Agent Member and, in the case of a transfer pursuant to and in accordance with Regulation S, the Euroclear or Clearstream account, as the case may be, to be credited with, and the account of the Agent Member to be debited for, such beneficial interest, and (3) a certificate in the form of Exhibit I to this Agreement given by the Certificate Owner of such interest, the Certificate Registrar shall instruct the Depository or the Certificate Custodian, as applicable, to reduce the Denomination of the Rule 144A Global Certificate by the aggregate Denomination of the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate to be so transferred and, concurrently with such reduction, to increase the Denomination of the Regulation S Global Certificate by the aggregate Denomination of the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate to be so transferred, and to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Certificate having a Denomination equal to the amount by which the Denomination of the Rule 144A Global Certificate was reduced upon such transfer.

(iii)       Transfers from the Global Certificates to Individual Certificates. Any and all transfers from a Global Certificate to a transferee wishing to take delivery in the form of an Individual Certificate will require the transferee to take delivery subject to the restrictions on the transfer of such Individual Certificate described in a legend set forth on the face of such Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F to this Agreement (the “Securities Legend” ), and such transferee agrees that it will transfer such Individual Certificate only as provided therein and herein. No such transfer shall be made and the Certificate Registrar shall not register any such transfer unless such transfer is made in accordance with this Section 5.02(c)(iii).

 

(A)       Transfers of a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate to an Institutional Accredited Investor will require delivery in the form of an Individual Certificate and the Certificate Registrar shall register such transfer only upon compliance with the provisions of Section 5.02(c)(i)(C) of this Agreement.

 

(B)       Transfers of a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate to a Qualified Institutional Buyer or a Regulation S Investor wishing to take delivery in the form of an Individual Certificate will be registered by the Certificate Registrar only upon compliance with the provisions of Section 5.02(c)(i)(A) or (B) of this Agreement, respectively.

 

(C)       Notwithstanding the foregoing, no transfer of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Certificate to an Individual Certificate pursuant to Subparagraph (B) above shall be made prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period.

 

Upon acceptance for exchange or transfer of a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate for an Individual Certificate, as provided herein, the Certificate Registrar shall endorse on the schedule affixed to the related Global Certificate (or on a continuation of such

 

 



    -363-


     

    

 

schedule affixed to such Global Certificate and made a part thereof) an appropriate notation evidencing the date of such exchange or transfer and a decrease in the Denomination of such Global Certificate equal to the Denomination of such Individual Certificate issued in exchange therefor or upon transfer thereof. Unless determined otherwise by the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor in accordance with applicable law, an Individual Certificate issued upon transfer of or exchange for a beneficial interest in the Global Certificate shall bear the Securities Legend.

 

(iv)      Transfers of Individual Certificates to the Global Certificates. If a Holder of an Individual Certificate wishes at any time to transfer such Certificate to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the related Regulation S Global Certificate or the related Rule 144A Global Certificate, such transfer may be effected only in accordance with the Applicable Procedures and this Section 5.02(c)(iv) (other than with respect to any Retained Certificate during the Transfer Restriction Period, which shall be held as an Individual Certificate pursuant to Section 5.01(i)). Upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar at the Corporate Trust Office of (1) the Individual Certificate to be transferred with an assignment and transfer pursuant to Section 5.05(a) of this Agreement, (2) written instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures from an Agent Member directing the Certificate Registrar to credit or cause to be credited to a specified Agent Member’s account a beneficial interest in such Regulation S Global Certificate or such Rule 144A Global Certificate, as the case may be, in an amount equal to the Denomination of the Individual Certificate to be so transferred, (3) a written order given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the account of the Agent Member and, in the case of any transfer pursuant to Regulation S, the Euroclear or Clearstream account, as the case may be, to be credited with such beneficial interest, and (4) (x) an Investment Representation Letter from the transferee and, if delivery is to be taken in the form of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Certificate, a Regulation S Transfer Certificate from the transferor or (y) an Investment Representation Letter from the transferee to the effect that such transferee is a Qualified Institutional Buyer if delivery is to be taken in the form of a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall cancel such Individual Certificate, execute and deliver a new Individual Certificate for the Denomination of the Individual Certificate not so transferred, registered in the name of the Holder or the Holder’s transferee (as instructed by the Holder), and the Certificate Registrar shall instruct the Depository or the Certificate Custodian, as applicable, to increase the Denomination of the Regulation S Global Certificate or the Rule 144A Global Certificate, as the case may be, by the Denomination of the Individual Certificate to be so transferred, and to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions who, in the case of any increase in the Regulation S Global Certificate during the Restricted Period, shall be an Agent Member acting for or on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, or both, as the case may be, a corresponding Denomination of the Rule 144A Global Certificate or the Regulation S Global Certificate, as the case may be.

 

It is the intent of the foregoing that under no circumstances may an Institutional Accredited Investor that is not a Qualified Institutional Buyer take delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate, other than the initial transfer from the Initial Purchasers to an initial investor.

(v)       All Transfers. An exchange of a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate for an Individual Certificate or Certificates, an exchange of an Individual Certificate or Certificates for a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate and an exchange of an Individual Certificate or Certificates for another Individual Certificate or Certificates (in each case, whether or not such exchange is made in anticipation of subsequent transfer, and, in the case of the Global Certificates, so long as the Global Certificates remain outstanding and are held by or on behalf of the Depository), may be made only in accordance with this Section 5.02 and in accordance with the rules of the Depository and Applicable Procedures (other than with respect to any Retained Certificate during the Transfer Restriction Period, which shall be held as an Individual Certificate pursuant to Section 5.01(i)).

 

(d)        If Certificates are issued upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Certificates not bearing the Securities Legend, the Certificates so issued shall not bear the Securities Legend. If Certificates are issued upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Certificates bearing the Securities Legend, or if a request is made to remove the Securities Legend on a Certificate, the Certificates so issued shall bear the Securities Legend, or the Securities 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 (at the expense of the party requesting the removal of such legend) familiar with United States securities laws, as may be reasonably required by the Certificate Registrar, that neither the Securities Legend nor the restrictions on transfers set forth therein are required to ensure that transfers of any Certificate comply with the provisions of Rule 144A, Rule 144 or Regulation S under the Act, the Risk Retention Rule or that such Certificate is not a “restricted security”  within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Act. Upon provision of such satisfactory evidence, the Certificate Registrar shall execute and deliver a Certificate that does not bear the Securities Legend.

 

(e)        Subject to the restrictions on transfer and exchange set forth in Section 5.01(h) and in this Section 5.02, the Holder of any Individual Certificate may transfer or exchange the same in whole or in part (with a denomination equal to any authorized denomination) by surrendering such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or at the office of any transfer agent appointed as provided under this Agreement, together with an instrument of assignment or transfer (executed by the Holder or its duly authorized attorney), in the case of transfer, and a written request for exchange, in the case of exchange. Following a proper request for transfer or exchange, the Certificate Registrar shall, within five Business Days of such request if made at such office of the Certificate Administrator or within ten Business Days if made at the office of a transfer agent (other than the Certificate Registrar), execute and deliver at the office of the Certificate Administrator or at the office of such transfer agent, as the case may be, to the transferee (in the case of transfer) or Holder (in the case of exchange) or send by first-class mail (at the risk of the transferee in the case of transfer or Holder in the case of exchange) to such address as the transferee or Holder, as applicable, may request, an Individual Certificate or Certificates, as the case may require, for a like aggregate Denomination and in such Denomination or Denominations as may be requested. The presentation for transfer or exchange of any Individual Certificate shall not be valid unless made at the office of the Certificate Administrator or at the office of a transfer agent by the registered Holder in person, or by a duly authorized attorney-in-fact. The Certificate Registrar may decline to accept any

 

 



    -365-


     

    

 

request for an exchange or registration of transfer of any Certificate during the period of 15 days preceding any Distribution Date.

 

(f)         An Individual Certificate (other than an Individual Certificate issued in exchange for a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate pursuant to Section 5.01 of this Agreement) or a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate may only be transferred to Eligible Investors, as described herein. In the event that a Responsible Officer of the Certificate Registrar has actual knowledge that such an Individual Certificate or beneficial interest in a Global Certificate is being held by or for the benefit of a Person who is not an Eligible Investor, or that such holding is unlawful under the laws of a relevant jurisdiction, then the Certificate Registrar shall have the right to void such transfer, if permitted under applicable law, or to require the investor to sell such Individual Certificate or beneficial interest in a Global Certificate to an Eligible Investor within fourteen days after notice of such determination and each Certificateholder by its acceptance of a Certificate authorizes the Certificate Registrar to take such action.

 

(g)        Subject to the provisions of this Section 5.02 regarding transfer and exchange, transfers of the Global Certificates shall be limited to transfers of such Global Certificates in whole, but not in part, to nominees of the Depository or to a successor of the Depository or such successor’s nominee.

 

(h)        No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred to in this Section 5.02 other than for transfers to Institutional Accredited Investors, as provided herein. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the transferor shall reimburse the Trust Fund for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided herein) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer.

 

(i)         Subject to Section 5.02(e) of this Agreement, transfers of the Class S or Class R Certificates may be made only in accordance with this Section 5.02(i). The Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of a Class R Certificate only if (x) the transferor has advised the Certificate Registrar in writing that such Certificate is being transferred to a Qualified Institutional Buyer (y) prior to such transfer the transferee furnishes to the Certificate Registrar an Investment Representation Letter. The Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of a Class S Certificate only if (x) the transferor has advised the Certificate Registrar in writing that such Certificate is being transferred to a Qualified Institutional Buyer or an Affiliated Person or an Institutional Accredited Investor and (y) prior to such transfer the transferee furnishes to the Certificate Registrar an Investment Representation Letter. In addition, the Certificate Registrar may as a condition of the registration of any such transfer require the transferor to furnish such other certifications, legal opinions or other information (at the transferor’s expense) as it may reasonably require to confirm that the proposed transfer is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Act and other applicable laws.

 






    -366-


     

    

 

(j)         No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any Class of the Offered Certificates 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 Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee nor the Certificate Registrar are obligated to register or qualify the Offered 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 Offered Certificates without registration or qualification. Any Certificateholder desiring to effect such a transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar, against any loss, liability or expense that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

 

(k)        No transfer of any Class S, Class R or Class RR Certificate (each, a “Restricted Certificate” ) shall be made to (i) an employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement, including an individual retirement account or Keogh plan, which is 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 subject to any federal, state or local law (“Similar Law” ) which is to a material extent similar to the foregoing provisions of ERISA or the Code (each, a “Plan” ) or (ii) any person acting on behalf of any such Plan or using the assets of any such Plan (including any entity whose underlying assets include plan assets by reason of a Plan’s investment in the entity (within the meaning of Labor Regulations Section 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA)). Except in connection with the transfer thereof by the Depositor or a Retaining Party (provided that, in the case of a Retaining Party, such exception shall apply only with respect to the transfer thereof on the Closing Date), each prospective transferee of a Restricted Certificate shall deliver to the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar and the Certificate Administrator, a transfer or representation letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit D-2 to this Agreement, stating that the prospective transferee is not and will not become a Person referred to in (i) or (ii) above. Neither the Certificate Administrator nor the Certificate Registrar shall register a Class S or Class R Certificate in any Person’s name unless such Person has provided the letter referred to in the preceding sentence. The transferee of a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate that is a Restricted Certificate shall be deemed to represent that it is not and will not become a Plan or a Person acting on behalf of any Plan or using the assets of any Plan to acquire such interest. Any transfer of a Restricted Certificate that would violate or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or Similar Law shall be deemed absolutely null and void ab initio.

 

Each purchaser of Certificates that is a Plan subject to ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code (an “ERISA Plan” ) or is acting on behalf of or using the assets of an ERISA Plan will be deemed to have represented and warranted that (i) none of the Depositor, the Trust, the Trustee, any Initial Purchaser, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or any of their respective affiliated entities, 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 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.

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

 

(i)         Each Person acquiring or holding any Ownership Interest shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall not acquire or hold such 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 Ownership Interest) as a Permitted Transferee. Any acquisition described in the first sentence of this Section 5.02(l) 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 and of no effect, and the immediately preceding owner who was a Permitted Transferee shall be restored to registered and beneficial ownership of the Ownership Interest as fully as possible.

 

(ii)        No 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 Ownership Interest, the Certificate Registrar shall, as a condition to such consent, (x) require delivery to it in form and substance satisfactory to it, and the proposed transferee shall deliver to the Certificate Registrar and to the proposed transferor an affidavit in substantially the form attached as Exhibit C-1 (a “Transferee Affidavit” ) of the proposed transferee (A) that such proposed transferee is a Permitted Transferee and (B) stating that (i) the proposed transferee historically has paid its debts as they have come due and intends to do so in the future, (ii) the proposed transferee understands that, as the holder of an Ownership Interest, it may incur liabilities in excess of cash flows generated by the residual interest, (iii) the proposed transferee intends to pay taxes associated with holding the Ownership Interest as they become due, (iv) the proposed transferee will not transfer the 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, (v) the proposed transferee 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 proposed transferee or any other U.S. Person and (vi) the proposed transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and to abide by the provisions of this Section 5.02(l) and (y) other than in connection with the initial issuance of the Class R Certificates, require a statement from the proposed transferor substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C-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.

 

 



    -368-


     

    

 

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

 

Neither the Certificate Administrator nor the Certificate Registrar shall have any obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restriction or transfer imposed under Article V of this Agreement or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any Certificate (including, without limitation, the Securities Legend), or any interest therein, other than to require delivery of the certification(s) and/or opinions of counsel described in Article V applicable with respect to changes in registration of record ownership of Certificates in the Certificate Register. The Certificate Administrator and the Certificate Registrar shall have no liability for transfers, including transfers made through the book-entry facilities of the Depository or between or among Depository Participants or Certificate Owners made in violation of applicable restrictions.

 

Upon written notice to the Certificate Registrar, or upon the Certificate Registrar having actual knowledge, 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 Ownership Interest, or such agent, the Certificate Registrar and the Certificate Administrator agree to furnish to the IRS and the transferor of such 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 and the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar and the Certificate Administrator may charge a reasonable fee for computing and furnishing such information to the transferor or to such agent referred to above; provided that such Persons shall in no event be excused from furnishing such information.

 

(m)       At all times during the Transfer Restriction Period, if a Transfer of any Retained Certificate 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 C-3 or Exhibit C-5, as applicable, which such certification must be countersigned by the Retaining Sponsor with a medallion stamp guarantee of the Retaining Sponsor, (ii) a certification from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-4 or Exhibit C-6, as applicable, which such certification must be countersigned by the Retaining Sponsor with a medallion stamp guarantee of the Retaining Sponsor, (iii) a W-9 completed by the 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.

Certificate in the name of the prospective Transferee and shall deliver written confirmation substantially in the form of Exhibit MM to this Agreement. The Certificate Registrar shall not register a Transfer of any Retained Certificate after the Closing Date during the Transfer Restriction Period unless it is so instructed by the Certificate Administrator. After the termination of the Transfer Restriction Period, if a transfer of a Retained Certificate is to be made and such Retained Certificate is in Retained Interest Safekeeping Account, then upon receipt of: (i) a certification from such Certificateholder’s prospective Transferee substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-3 or Exhibit C-5, which such certification must be countersigned by the Retaining Sponsor with a medallion stamp guarantee of the Retaining Sponsor and (ii) a certification from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-4 or Exhibit C-6, which such certification must be countersigned by the Retaining Sponsor with a medallion stamp guarantee of 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 Retained Certificate and reflect such Retained Certificate in the name of the prospective Transferee. After the termination of the Transfer Restriction Period, if a transfer of a Retained Certificate is to be made and such Retained Certificate is in the Retained Interest Safekeeping Account, the Certificate Registrar shall not register a Transfer of such Retained Certificate unless it is so instructed by the Certificate Administrator. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall a Retained Certificate be held as a Book-Entry Certificate during the Transfer Restriction Period. After the Transfer Restriction Period, a Retained Certificate may be transferred subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Article V. Any transfer of an interest in a Retained Certificate that is not in compliance with this Section 5.02 shall be null and void ab initio to the extent permitted under applicable law.

Each RR Interest Owner, if it wishes to transfer the applicable RR Interest, shall notify the Certificate Administrator in writing of such transfer and identify the new RR Interest Owner. The Certificate Administrator shall register the ownership of the applicable RR Interest on a registry of ownership maintained by the Certificate Administrator.

being the applicable RR Interest Owner, or (ii) in the case of any subsequent transferee, such Person is identified as being the applicable RR Interest Owner on the ownership registry. The Certificate Administrator, the other parties to this Agreement and the Certificateholders shall be entitled to treat the applicable RR Interest Owner (in the case of any subsequent RR 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 RR Interest on the part of any other Person. Any transfer of an interest in the RR Interest that is not in compliance with this Section 5.02(n) shall be null and void ab initio to the extent permitted under applicable law.

    -373-


     

    

 

Notices delivered in this manner shall be considered delivered to all Holders regardless of whether any Holder actually receives the notice and ballot.

 

(b)        In connection with any vote administered pursuant to this Agreement, voting Holders shall be required to certify their holdings in the manner set forth on the ballot, unless a specific manner is otherwise provided herein.

Any changes or retractions shall be communicated by the Certificateholder to the Certificate Administrator in writing on a ballot. After the vote deadline has passed, votes may not be changed or retracted by any Holder unless the Holder wishing to change or retract its vote holds a sufficient portion of the Voting Rights such that the Holder, by its vote alone, could approve or deny the proposition subject to a vote without taking into consideration the votes cast by any other Holder.

Promptly after the votes are tabulated, the Certificate Administrator shall prepare a notice announcing the results of the vote. Such notice shall include the percentage of Voting Rights in favor of the proposition, the percentage against the proposition and the percentage abstaining. In addition, the notice will announce whether the proposition has been adopted by Certificateholders. The notice shall be distributed in accordance with the methods described in Section 5.08(a) above. The Certificate Administrator shall also include such notice on the Form 10-D prepared in connection with the distribution period that corresponds with the date such notice is distributed. All vote tabulations shall be final and the Certificate Administrator shall not, absent manifest error, retabulate the votes or conduct a new vote for the same proposition.

 

(d)        Unless otherwise paid for by any Holder pursuant to Section 8.01 or Section 8.02, or clause (e) below, any and all reasonable expenses incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with administering any vote shall be borne by the Trust. The Certificate Administrator is under no obligation to advise Holders about the matter being voted on or answer questions other than process-related questions regarding the administration of the vote.

 

(e)        If any party to this Agreement believes a vote of Certificateholders is needed for some matter related to the administration of the Trust that is not specifically contemplated herein, such party may request the Certificate Administrator to conduct a vote and the Certificate Administrator will conduct the requested vote in accordance with these procedures. Unless specifically provided herein, all such votes require a majority of Certificateholders to carry a proposition.

(i) the Trustee or a successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall have assumed the resigning or terminated Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s responsibilities, duties, liabilities and obligations hereunder, (ii) the Certificate Administrator shall have filed any required Form 8-K pursuant to Section 10.09, (iii) any other information required under Section 10.03 or Section 10.09 has been delivered to any applicable Other Depositor with respect to any related Companion Loan, and (iv) as to any resignation, removal, succession, merger or consolidation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer that would constitute a Reportable Event, upon at least 4 Business Days prior notice of the anticipated effective date of such event, the Certificate Administrator and the Depositor shall cooperate in a timely manner with the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or any other Person pursuing such resignation, removal, succession, merger or consolidation, as applicable, in connection with the Depositor’s or the Certificate Administrator’s obligation to file any related required Form 8-K relating to this Trust on the anticipated effective date of such event. If no successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer can be obtained to perform such obligations for the same compensation to which the terminated Master Servicer or Special Servicer would have been entitled, additional amounts payable to such successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall be treated as Realized Losses.

 

Section 6.05     Rights of the Depositor and the Trustee in Respect of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer. Solely with respect to their performance of their respective duties under this Agreement, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall afford the Depositor, the Initial Purchasers, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Rating Agencies, upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours access to all records maintained by it in respect of its rights and obligations hereunder and access to its officers responsible for such obligations. Upon written request, the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall furnish to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee its most recent publicly available financial statements (or, with respect to the Master Servicer, those of its ultimate parent) and such other non-proprietary information as the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion as it possesses, which is relevant to the performance of its duties hereunder and which it is not prohibited by applicable law or contract from disclosing. The Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder which are in default and may, but is not obligated to, perform, or cause a designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of such Person hereunder or exercise any rights of such Person hereunder, provided that the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder by virtue of such performance by the Depositor or its designee. If the Depositor or its designee undertakes any such action, it will be reimbursed by the Trust Fund from the Collection Accounts (or with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, to the extent such reimbursement is allocable to such Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account), as provided in Section 3.06 and Section 6.03(a) hereof to the extent not recoverable from the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable. None of the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Master Servicer (solely with respect to any action or failure to act by the Special Servicer) or the Special Servicer (solely with respect to any action or failure to act by the Master Servicer) shall have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer and no such party is obligated to monitor or supervise the performance of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer under this Agreement or otherwise. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be under any obligation to disclose confidential or proprietary information pursuant to this Section.

Section 6.06     The Master Servicer or Special Servicer as Owners of a Certificate. The Master Servicer or an Affiliate of the Master Servicer, or the Special Servicer or an Affiliate of the Special Servicer, may become the Holder (or with respect to a Global Certificate, Certificate Owner) of any Certificate with the same rights it would have if it were not the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or an Affiliate thereof. If, at any time during which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or an Affiliate of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is the Holder or Certificate Owner of any Certificate, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer proposes to take action (including for this purpose, omitting to take action) that (i) is not expressly prohibited by the terms hereof and would not, in the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s good faith judgment, violate the Servicing Standard, and (ii) if taken, might nonetheless, in the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s good faith judgment, be considered by other Persons to violate the Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may, but will not be required to, seek the approval of the Certificateholders to such action (or inaction) by delivering to the Certificate Administrator a written notice that (i) states that it is delivered pursuant to this Section 6.06, (ii) identifies the Percentage Interest in each Class of Certificates beneficially owned by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or an Affiliate of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer and (iii) describes in reasonable detail the action (or inaction) that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer proposes to take (or refrain from taking). The Certificate Administrator, upon receipt of such notice, shall forward it to the Certificateholders (other than the Master Servicer and its Affiliates or the Special Servicer and its Affiliates, as appropriate) together with such instructions for response as the Certificate Administrator shall reasonably determine. If at any time Certificateholders holding a majority of the Voting Rights of all Certificateholders and, if no Control Termination Event is continuing, the applicable Directing Holder (calculated without regard to the Certificates beneficially owned by the Master Servicer or its Affiliates or the Special Servicer or its Affiliates, as applicable) shall have consented in writing to the proposal described in the written notice, and if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall act as proposed in the written notice, such action shall be deemed to comply with the Servicing Standard. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, of the reasonable expenses of the Certificate Administrator incurred pursuant to this paragraph. It is not the intent of the foregoing provision that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer be permitted to invoke the procedure set forth herein with respect to routine servicing matters arising hereunder, except in the case of unusual circumstances.

 

Section 6.07     The Directing Holder and the Risk Retention Consultation Parties. (a) For so long as no Control Termination Event is continuing, the Directing Holder shall be entitled to advise (1) the Special Servicer with respect to all Specially Serviced Loans (other than any applicable Excluded Loan), (2) the Special Servicer with respect to Performing Loans (other than any applicable Excluded Loan or any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) with respect to Special Servicer Major Decisions, and (3) the Master Servicer with respect to Performing Loans (other than any Excluded Loan applicable to the Directing Holder or Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) with respect to Master Servicer Major Decisions.

 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, except as set forth in, and in any event subject to, this Section 6.07, with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and any applicable Excluded Loan) or any Serviced Whole Loan, for so long as no Control Termination Event is continuing, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special

 

 



    -380-


     

    

 

Servicer shall be permitted to take any action that constitutes a Major Decision, and the Special Servicer shall not consent to the Master Servicer’s taking any of the following actions that are Special Servicer Major Decisions, as to which the Directing Holder has objected in writing within ten (10) Business Days (or, in connection with an Acceptable Insurance Default, 30 days) after receipt of a written report by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, describing in reasonable detail (i) the background and circumstances requiring action of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, (ii) the proposed course of action recommended, and (iii) all information reasonably requested by the Directing Holder, and reasonably available to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in order to grant or withhold such consent, which report may, if prepared by the Special Servicer, in its sole discretion, take the form of an Asset Status Report (the “Major Decision Reporting Package” ) (provided that if such written objection has not been received by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, within such 10-Business Day (or 30-day) period, then the Directing Holder will be deemed to have approved such action). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Special Servicer or Master Servicer (if the Master Servicer is otherwise authorized by this Agreement to take such action), as applicable, determines that immediate action, with respect to the matters described in Section 6.07(a) (b) or (c) that requires the consent or consultation of the Directing Holder or a Risk Retention Consultation Party, or any other matter requiring consent or consultation of the Directing Holder in this Agreement, is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders and, with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders, the RR Interest Owner and, if applicable, Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders constituted a single lender and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan with a related Subordinate Companion Loan, taking into account the subordinate nature of such Subordinate Companion Loan) and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, has made a reasonable effort to contact the Directing Holder or such Risk Retention Consultation party, as applicable, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may take any such action without waiting for the Directing Holder’s response.

 

If a Control Termination Event is continuing, but for so long as no Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is not continuing, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be required to obtain the consent of the Directing Holder with respect to any of the Major Decisions or Asset Status Reports, but shall consult with the Directing Holder in connection with any Major Decision that it is processing or, in the case of the Special Servicer, any Asset Status Report (or any other matter for which the consent of the Directing Holder would have been required or for which the Directing Holder would have the right to direct the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer if a Control Termination Event had not occurred and was not continuing) and to consider alternative actions recommended by the Directing Holder in respect of such Major Decision or Asset Status Report (or such other matter). Such consultation will not be binding on the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer. In the event the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, receives no response from the Directing Holder within 10 days following the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s written request for input (which request shall include the related Major Decision Reporting Package) on any required consultation, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall not be obligated to consult with the Directing Holder on the specific matter.

(b)        In addition, (i) for so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan (other than any applicable Excluded Loan with respect to the applicable Risk Retention Consultation Party), and (ii) during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan (other than any applicable Excluded Loan with respect to the applicable Risk Retention Consultation Party), upon request of a Risk Retention Consultation Party, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall consult with such Risk Retention Consultation Party on a non-binding basis in connection with any Major Decision that it is processing (and such other matters that are subject to the non-binding consultation rights of such Risk Retention Consultation Party pursuant to this Agreement) and to consider alternative actions recommended by such Risk Retention Consultation Party in respect of such Major Decision (or any other matter requiring consultation with such Risk Retention Consultation Party); provided that in the event the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, receives no response from a Risk Retention Consultation Party within 10 days following the later of (i) the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as applicable, written request for input on any requested consultation and (ii) delivery of all such additional information in the possession of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, reasonably requested by such Risk Retention Consultation Party related to the subject matter of such consultation, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall not be obligated to consult with such Risk Retention Consultation Party on the specific matter; provided, however, that the failure of such Risk Retention Consultation Party to respond will not relieve the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, from using reasonable efforts to consult with such Risk Retention Consultation Party on any future matters with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan or any other Mortgage Loan. For the avoidance of doubt, (x) no Risk Retention Consultation Party shall have any consultation rights with respect to any related Excluded Loan and (y) any consultation with either Risk Retention Consultation Party under this Agreement shall occur only upon request of such Risk Retention Consultation Party, and any such consultation shall be on a strictly non-binding basis and shall be subject to all limitations with respect to the procedures and timing for such consultation set forth in this Section 6.07.

 

No Risk Retention Consultation Party acting in its capacity as Risk Retention Consultation Party shall have liability to the Trust Fund, any party to this Agreement, any Certificateholders or the RR Interest Owner or any other Person for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, or for errors in judgment.

 

(c)        Notwithstanding the foregoing, other than during the continuance of a Chase Center Tower Note C Control Appraisal Period, and if a Chase Center Tower Whole Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan, the UBR Risk Retention Consultation Party shall have the same rights as provided in Section 6.07(b) above solely with respect to the Chase Center Tower Whole Loan. During the continuance of a Chase Center Tower Note B Control Appraisal Period, the UBR Risk Retention Consultation Party shall no longer have any consultation rights in respect of any Major Decisions with respect to the Chase Center Tower Whole Loans.

 

(d)        The failure of the Directing Holder or any Risk Retention Consultation Party to respond to any request for consent or consultation will not relieve the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer from using reasonable efforts to seek the consent of or consult with, as applicable, the Directing Holder or the Risk Retention Consultation Parties on any future matters

 

 



    -382-


     

    

 

with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan or any other Mortgage Loan.

 

In addition, for so long as no Control Termination Event is continuing, the Directing Holder may direct the Special Servicer to take, or to refrain from taking, such other actions with respect to a Mortgage Loan as the Directing Holder may deem advisable or as to which provision is otherwise made herein; provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no such direction from the Directing Holder and no advice from any Risk Retention Consultation Party, and no objection contemplated by the preceding paragraph or this paragraph, may require or cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to violate any provision of any Mortgage Loan, applicable law, this Agreement, any Intercreditor Agreement or the REMIC Provisions, including without limitation the Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard, or expose the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Paying Agent, the Trust Fund, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee to liability, or materially expand the scope of the Special Servicer’s responsibilities hereunder.

 

If the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, determines that a refusal to consent by the Directing Holder, or any advice from the Directing Holder or the Risk Retention Consultation Parties, would otherwise cause the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, to violate the terms of any Mortgage Loan, any Intercreditor Agreement, applicable law, the REMIC Provisions or this Agreement, including without limitation, the Servicing Standard, the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, shall disregard such refusal to consent or advice and notify the Directing Holder, the Risk Retention Consultation Parties, the Trustee, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder (if any) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement) of its determination, including a reasonably detailed explanation of the basis therefor. The taking of, or refraining from taking, any action by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer in accordance with the direction of or approval of the Directing Holder or the applicable Risk Retention Consultation Party that does not violate any law or the Servicing Standard or any other provisions of this Agreement or any Intercreditor Agreements will not result in any liability on the part of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, with respect to the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans, at all times when no Consultation Termination Event has occurred, the Directing Holder shall be entitled to the rights of the “Non-Directing Holder”  (or similar term) under the related Intercreditor Agreement.

 

The Directing Holder shall have no liability to the Trust Fund, any party to this Agreement, any Certificateholders, the RR Interest Owner or any other Person for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, or for errors in judgment; provided that the Directing Holder shall not be protected against any liability to a Controlling Class Certificateholder that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations or duties.

 

(e)        Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 6.07(a), (a) the Special Servicer shall process all requests for any matter that constitutes a Major Decision with respect

 

 



    -383-


     

    

 

to any Specially Serviced Loan, (b) the Special Servicer shall process all COVID requests for any matter that constitutes a Special Servicer Major Decision or Special Servicer Non-Major Decision with respect to any Performing Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) unless the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer have mutually agreed to have the Master Servicer process such request in accordance with the terms and conditions reasonably agreed to by the Master Servicer and Special Servicer, including the Special Servicer’s consent, (c) the Master Servicer shall process all requests for any matter that constitutes a Master Servicer Major Decision with respect to any Performing Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and (d) the Master Servicer shall process all requests for any matter that constitutes a Special Servicer Major Decision with respect to any Performing Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) if the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer have mutually agreed to have the Master Servicer process such request in accordance with the terms and conditions reasonably agreed to by the Master Servicer and Special Servicer, including the Special Servicer’s consent. Upon receiving a request for any matter that constitutes a Special Servicer Major Decision or Special Servicer Non-Major Decision, unless the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer mutually agree that the Master Servicer will process such request in accordance with the terms and conditions reasonably agreed to by the Master Servicer and Special Servicer, including the Special Servicer’s consent, the Master Servicer shall forward such request to the Special Servicer and the Special Servicer will be required to process such request and the Master Servicer will have no further obligation with respect to such request or the related Special Servicer Major Decision.

 

With respect to any Borrower request or other action on Performing Loans that is not a Major Decision or a Special Servicer Non-Major Decision, the Master Servicer shall not be required to obtain the consent of or consult with the Special Servicer, the Directing Holder or the Risk Retention Consultation Parties.

 

(f)         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (i) if a Control Termination Event is continuing, the Directing Holder shall have no right to consent to any action taken or not taken by any party to this Agreement; (ii) if a Control Termination Event is continuing but Consultation Termination Event has not occurred and is not 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 Master 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) if a Consultation Termination Event is continuing, the Directing Holder shall have no consultation or consent rights hereunder and no right to receive any notices, reports or information (other than notices, Voting Rights given to all Certificateholders and rights to receive reports or information required to be delivered to all Certificateholders) or any other rights as Directing Holder.

 

With respect to either Chase Center Tower Whole Loan, for so long as no Chase Center Tower Note B Control Appraisal Period is continuing, the Pooled Trust Directing Holder shall not be entitled to exercise the above described rights, and those rights shall be held by the Chase Center Tower Controlling Class Representative in accordance with this Agreement and the related Intercreditor Agreement. During a Chase Center Tower Note B Control Appraisal Period, the Directing Holder for such Chase Center Tower Whole Loan shall be the Pooled Trust Directing Holder.

 

 



    -384-


     

    

 

(g)        The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, may from time to time request that the Certificate Administrator provide the name of the then-current Pooled Trust Directing Holder for any applicable Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan or the Chase Center Tower Controlling Class Representative. Upon such request, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly (but in no event more than five (5) Business Days following such request) provide the name of the then-current Pooled Trust Directing Holder or Chase Center Tower Controlling Class Representative, as applicable, to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, but only to the extent the Certificate Administrator has actual knowledge of the identity of the then-current Pooled Trust Directing Holder or Chase Center Tower Controlling Class Representative, as applicable; provided that if the Certificate Administrator does not have actual knowledge of the identity of the then-current Pooled Trust Directing Holder or Chase Center Tower Controlling Class Representative, as applicable, then the Certificate Administrator shall promptly (but in no event more than five (5) Business Days following such request) (i) determine which Class is the Controlling Class or the Chase Center Tower Controlling Class, as applicable, and (ii) request from the Controlling Class Certificateholders or the Chase Center Tower Controlling Class Certificateholders, as applicable, the identity of the Pooled Trust Directing Holder or the Chase Center Tower Controlling Class Certificateholders, as applicable. Any expenses incurred in connection with obtaining such information shall be at the expense of the requesting party, except that if (i) such expenses arise in connection with an event as to which the Pooled Trust Directing Holder or the Chase Center Tower Controlling Class Certificateholders, as applicable, has review, consent or consultation rights with respect to an action taken by, or report prepared by, the requesting party pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) the requesting party has not been notified of the identity of the Pooled Trust Directing Holder or the Chase Center Tower Controlling Class Certificateholders, as applicable, or reasonably believes that the identity of the Pooled Trust Directing Holder or the Chase Center Tower Controlling Class Certificateholders, as applicable, has changed, then such expenses shall be at the expense of the Trust. The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any such information so provided.

 

To the extent the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer has written notice of any change in the identity of a Pooled Trust Directing Holder or the Chase Center Tower Controlling Class Certificateholders or the list of Holders (or Certificate Owners, if applicable) of the Controlling Class or the Chase Center Tower Controlling Class, then the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall promptly notify the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer thereof, who may rely conclusively on such notice from the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable.

 

(h)        DBNY, JPMCB 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 of the existing Risk Retention Consultation Parties, any successor Risk Retention Consultation Party shall deliver to the parties to this Agreement a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit L-1H to this Agreement prior to being recognized as the new Risk Retention Consultation Party. The parties hereto shall be entitled to assume that the Risk Retention Consultation Party has not changed absent such notice.

 

 



    -385-


     

    

 

(i)         Once a Risk Retention Consultation Party has been selected, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each other Certificateholder (or Certificate Owner, if applicable) shall be entitled to rely on such selection unless DBNY (in the case of the VRR1 Risk Retention Consultation Party), GSMC (in the case of the VRR2 Risk Retention Consultation Party) or JPMCB (in the case of the VRR3 Risk Retention Consultation Party and the UBR Risk Retention Consultation Party), as applicable, shall have notified the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each other VRR Interest Owner, in writing, of the selection of such new Risk Retention Consultation Party (including the new contact information).

 

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

 

Section
6.08     Rights of Non-Directing Holders. With respect to each Serviced Whole Loan, the Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall:

 

(a)        consult with the related Non-Directing Holder (or its designee or representative) on a strictly non-binding basis, to the extent that such Non-Directing Holder (or its designee or representative) requests consultation with respect to any “major decision”  or “major action”  set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report relating to the Serviced Whole Loan, and to consider alternative actions recommended by such Non-Directing Holder (or its designee or representative); provided that after the expiration of a period of ten (10) Business Days from the delivery to the related Non-Directing Holder (or its designee or representative) of written notice of a proposed action, together with copies of the related notice, information or report, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall no longer be obligated to consult with the applicable Non-Directing Holder (or its designee or representative) (unless the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, proposes a new course of action that is materially different from the action previously proposed, in which case such ten (10) Business Day period shall begin anew from the date of such proposal and delivery of all information relating thereto). Notwithstanding the foregoing non-binding consultation rights of the Non-Directing Holder, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may take any “major decision”  or “major action”  set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement or any action set forth in the Asset Status Report before the expiration of the aforementioned ten (10) Business Day period if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, determines that immediate action with respect thereto is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholder and the related Companion Loan Noteholder. Unless specified otherwise in the related Intercreditor Agreement, neither the

 

 



    -386-


     

    

 

Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be obligated at any time to follow or take any alternative actions recommended by the Non-Directing Holder; and

 

(b)        in addition to the foregoing non-binding consultation rights, if provided for in the related Intercreditor Agreement, the Non-Directing Holder shall have the right to annual conference calls with the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer at the offices of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, upon reasonable notice and at times reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in which servicing issues related to the related Whole Loan are discussed.

failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer, by (a) any other party hereto, with a copy to each other party to this Agreement, (b) the Holders of Certificates of any Class evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 25% of such Class or (c) an affected Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder; provided that, if such failure is capable of being cured and the Master Servicer is diligently pursuing such cure, such 15-, 30- or 45-day period, as applicable, will be extended an additional 30 days;

 

(iii)      any breach on the part of the Master Servicer of any representation or warranty contained in Section 2.04(a) of this Agreement, which materially and adversely affects the interests of any Certificateholders, the RR Interest Owner or Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders and which continues unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which notice of such breach, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given (a) to the Master Servicer by any party hereto or (b) to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee (x) by the Holders of Certificates of any Class evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 25% of such Class or (y) by an affected Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder; provided that, if such breach is capable of being cured and the Master Servicer is diligently pursuing such cure, such 30-day period will be extended an additional 30 days;

(v)       the Master Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator, receiver, liquidator, trustee or similar official in any bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Master Servicer or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property;

 

(vi)      the Master Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations or take any corporate action in furtherance of the foregoing;

Loan Securities, any Companion Loan Rating Agency) within sixty (60) days of such event) and, in the case of either of clauses (A) or (B), publicly citing servicing concerns with the Master Servicer as the sole or a material factor in such rating action;

 

(viii)     the Master Servicer is no longer rated at least “CMS3”  or “CSS3” , respectively, by Fitch and such Master Servicer is not reinstated to at least that rating within sixty (60) days of the delisting; or

 

(ix)       subject to Section 10.16(c), so long as any Other Securitization is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, any failure by the Master Servicer to deliver (a) any Exchange Act reporting items required to be delivered by the Master Servicer to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator under Article X by the time required under Article X or (b) any Exchange Act reporting items that a primary servicer, sub-servicer or Servicing Function Participant (such entity, the “Sub-Servicing Entity” ) retained by the Master Servicer (but excluding any Mortgage Loan Seller Sub-Servicer) is required to deliver (any Sub-Servicing Entity shall be terminated if it defaults in accordance with the provision of this clause (x));

 

then, and in each and every such case, so long as a Master Servicer Termination Event shall not have been remedied, the Trustee may, and at the written direction of (x) the Holders of at least 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights of all Certificates or (y) the Depositor with respect to clause (ii) above (to the extent such Master Servicer Termination Event relates to the obligations regarding Exchange Act reporting contemplated by Article X) or clause (viii) above upon five (5) Business Days’ notice, shall, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer (other than as set forth in Section 7.01(d)). In the case of clause (vii), the Certificate Administrator shall be required to notify Certificateholders and Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders of such Master Servicer Termination Event and request whether such Certificateholders and, if applicable, Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders favor such termination.

 

If the Master Servicer is also the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer is terminated as provided in this Section 7.01(a), then the Master Servicer shall also be terminated as Special Servicer.

 

If the Master Servicer receives notice of termination under this Section 7.01(a) solely due to a Master Servicer Termination Event under Section 7.01(a)(vii) or (viii) and if the Master Servicer provides the Trustee with the appropriate “request for proposal”  materials within five (5) Business Days following such termination notice, then the Master Servicer shall continue to serve as Master Servicer hereunder until a successor Master Servicer is selected in accordance with this Section 7.01(a). Upon receipt of the “request for proposal”  materials, the Trustee shall promptly thereafter (using such “request for proposal”  materials provided by the Master Servicer) solicit good faith bids for the rights to service the Mortgage Loans and Serviced Companion Loans under this Agreement from at least three (3) Persons qualified to act as Master Servicer hereunder in accordance with Section 6.02 and 7.02 of this Agreement (any such Person so qualified, a “Qualified Bidder” ) or, if three (3) Qualified Bidders cannot be located, then from as many persons as the Trustee can determine are Qualified Bidders; provided that, at the Trustee’s request, the Master Servicer shall supply the Trustee with the names of Persons from whom to solicit such bids; and provided, further, that the Trustee shall not be responsible if less

 

 



    -389-


     

    

 

than three (3) or no Qualified Bidders submit bids for the right to service the Mortgage Loans and Serviced Companion Loans under this Agreement. The bid proposal shall require any Successful Bidder (as defined below), as a condition of such bid, to enter into this Agreement as successor Master Servicer, and to agree to be bound by the terms hereof, within 45 days after the notice of termination of the Master Servicer. The materials provided to the Trustee shall provide for soliciting bids: (i) on the basis of such successor Master Servicer retaining all Sub-Servicers to continue the primary servicing of the Mortgage Loans and Serviced Companion Loans pursuant to the terms of the respective Sub-Servicing Agreements and entering into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with the terminated Master Servicer to service each of the Mortgage Loans and Serviced Companion Loans for which it was the Master Servicer and not subject to a Sub-Servicing Agreement with a cashiering Sub-Servicer at a sub-servicing fee rate per annum equal to, for each Mortgage Loan and Serviced Companion Loan serviced, the Primary Servicing Fee Rate (each, a “Servicing Retained Bid” ); and (ii) on the basis of terminating each Sub-Servicing Agreement and Sub-Servicer that it is permitted to terminate in accordance with Section 3.01(c) of this Agreement (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 from any Person qualified to act as a Master Servicer) (the “Successful Bidder” ) to act as successor Master Servicer hereunder; provided that if the Trustee does not receive a Rating Agency Confirmation in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.30 of this Agreement with respect to such Successful Bidder, then the Trustee shall repeat the bid process described above (but subject to the above described 45 day time period) until such Rating Agency Confirmation is obtained. The Trustee shall direct the Successful Bidder to enter into this Agreement as successor Master Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof no later than 45 days after notice of the termination of the Master Servicer; provided that the initial Master Servicer may request and obtain, with the prior written consent of the Directing Holder, an additional 20 days for such sale and assumption to be completed so long as the initial Master Servicer delivers to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the sale and assumption of the right to service the Mortgage Loans and Serviced Companion Loans cannot be completed in the initial 45-day period and specifying the reasons therefor.

 

Upon the assignment and acceptance of master servicing rights hereunder (subject to the terms of Section 3.12 of this Agreement) to and by the Successful Bidder, the Trustee shall remit or cause to be remitted (i) if the successful bid was a Servicing Retained Bid, to the Master Servicer to be terminated pursuant to this Section 7.01(a), 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) and (ii) if the successful bid was a Servicing Released Bid, to the Master Servicer and each terminated Sub-Servicer its respective Bid Allocation.

 

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

 

If the Successful Bidder has not entered into this Agreement as successor Master Servicer within the above described time period or no Successful Bidder was identified within the above described time period, the Master Servicer to be terminated pursuant to Section 7.01(a)

 

 



    -390-


     

    

 

 of this Agreement shall reimburse the Trustee for all reasonable “out of pocket”  expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with such bid process and the Trustee shall have no further obligations under this Section 7.01(a). The Trustee thereafter may act or may select a successor to act as Master Servicer hereunder in accordance with Section 7.02 of this Agreement.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article VII, if the Master Servicer shall timely deliver the notice and request for proposal materials referred to in the fourth preceding paragraph, no resignation or termination of the Master Servicer shall be effective in connection with a Master Servicer Termination Event under Section 7.01(a)(vii) or (viii) of this Agreement, and the Master Servicer shall continue to perform as such and to collect the servicing fee until the conclusion of the process described in this clause (a).

 

(b)        “Special Servicer Termination Event,”  wherever used herein, means any one of the following events:

(ii)    any failure on the part of the Special Servicer duly to observe or perform in any material respect any of its other covenants or obligations contained in this Agreement, which failure continues unremedied for a period of 30 days (or (A) with respect to any year that a report on Form 10-K is required to be filed, five (5) Business Days in the case of the Special Servicer’s obligations contemplated by Article X (except as otherwise provided under clause (x) of this definition of “Special Servicer Termination Event” ), or (B) 15 days in the case of failure to pay the premium for any insurance policy required to be force placed by the Special Servicer pursuant to this Agreement or in any event such reasonable shorter period of time as is necessary to avoid the commencement of foreclosure proceedings for any lien relating to unpaid real estate taxes or assessments or a lapse in any required insurance coverage) after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Special Servicer, by (a) any other party hereto, with a copy to each other party to this Agreement, (b) the Holders of Certificates of any Class evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 25% of such Class or (c) an affected Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder; provided that, if such failure is capable of being cured and the Special Servicer is diligently pursuing such cure, such 30- or 45-day period, as applicable, will be extended an additional 30 days;

(iii)       any breach on the part of the Special Servicer of any representation or warranty contained in Section 2.04(b) of this Agreement, which materially and adversely affects the interests of any Certificateholders, the RR Interest Owner or Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders and which continues unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which notice of such breach, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given (a) to the Special Servicer by any party hereto, or (b) to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee (x) by the Holders of Certificates of any Class evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 25% of such Class or (y) by an affected Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder; provided that, if such breach is capable of being cured and the Special Servicer is diligently pursuing such cure, such 30-day period will be extended an additional 30 days;

 

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

 

(v)        the Special Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator, receiver, liquidator, trustee or similar official in any bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Special Servicer or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property;

 

(vi)       the Special Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations or take any corporate action in furtherance of the foregoing;

 

(vii)      the Special Servicer is no longer rated at least “CSS3”  by Fitch and such Special Servicer is not reinstated to at least that rating within 60 days of the delisting;

 

(viii)     either of Moody’s or DBRS Morningstar (or, in the case of Serviced Companion Loan Securities, any Companion Loan Rating Agency) has (A) qualified, downgraded or withdrawn its rating or ratings of one or more Classes of Certificates or one or more classes of Serviced Companion Loan Securities, or (B) placed one or more Classes of Certificates or one or more classes of Serviced Companion Loan Securities on “watch status”  in contemplation of a rating downgrade or withdrawal (and such qualification, downgrade, withdrawal or “watch status”  placement shall not have been withdrawn by Moody’s or DBRS Morningstar (or, in the case of Serviced Companion Loan Securities, any Companion Loan Rating Agency) within sixty (60) days of such event) and, in the case of either of clauses (A) or (B), publicly citing servicing concerns with the Special Servicer as the sole or a material factor in such rating action; or

 

 



    -392-


     

    

 

(ix)       subject to Section 10.16(c), any failure by the Special Servicer to deliver (a) any Exchange Act reporting items required to be delivered by the Special Servicer to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator under Article X by the time required under Article X or (b) any Exchange Act reporting items that a Sub-Servicing Entity retained by the Special Servicer (but excluding any Mortgage Loan Seller Sub-Servicer) is required to deliver (any Sub-Servicing Entity shall be terminated if it defaults in accordance with the provision of this clause (viii));

 

then, and in each and every such case, so long as a Special Servicer Termination Event shall not have been remedied, the Trustee may, and at the written direction of (x) the Holders of at least (A) 25% of the aggregate Pooled Voting Rights of all Certificates (other than with respect to the Chase Center Tower Whole Loans) and (B) 25% of the Voting Rights in the case of the Special Servicer with respect to the Chase Center Tower Whole Loans, (y) for so long as no Control Termination Event is continuing, the Directing Holder, or (z) the Depositor with respect to clause (ii) above (to the extent such Special Servicer Termination Event relates to the obligations regarding Exchange Act reporting contemplated by Article X) or clause (ix) above upon five (5) Business Days’ notice, shall, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Special Servicer (other than the rights to indemnification provided in Section 6.03(a) of this Agreement and compensation provided in Section 3.12(c) of this Agreement). In the case of clause (vii) and clause (viii) above, the Trustee shall, upon actual knowledge by a Responsible Officer of such Special Servicer Termination Event, be required to notify the Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator, and the Certificate Administrator, upon receipt of such notice or upon actual knowledge by a Responsible Officer of such Special Servicer Termination Event, shall notify the Certificateholders and Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders of such Special Servicer Termination Event and request whether such Certificateholders and, if applicable, the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders favor such termination.

 

(c)        Notwithstanding Section 7.01(a), (i) if any Master Servicer Termination Event occurs that affects a Serviced Companion Loan and the Master Servicer is not otherwise terminated or (ii) if an NRSRO engaged to rate a Serviced Companion Loan Security qualifies, downgrades or withdraws its rating of such Serviced Companion Loan Security, publicly citing servicing concerns with the Master Servicer as the sole or a material factor in such rating action and that rating action is not withdrawn within 60 days, then the Trustee, at the direction of the Companion Loan Noteholder, shall direct the Master Servicer to appoint a sub-servicer (or if a sub-servicer is then sub-servicing such Serviced Whole Loan, to appoint a new sub-servicer to service such Serviced Whole Loan, but only if such existing sub-servicer is in default after any applicable cure periods under the related sub-servicing agreement, and the Master Servicer shall be permitted to terminate the sub-servicing agreement due to such default) with respect all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement related to such Serviced Whole Loan. The Master Servicer shall appoint a replacement sub-servicer with respect to such Serviced Whole Loan; provided that such sub-servicer meets the eligibility requirements of a successor master servicer under Section 7.02 (including receipt of a Rating Agency Confirmation relating to the Certificates and Serviced Companion Loan Securities, if any) and the eligibility requirements of each Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

(d)        Notwithstanding Section 7.01(b), (i) if any Special Servicer Termination Event occurs that affects a Serviced Companion Loan and the Special Servicer is not otherwise

 

 



    -393-


     

    

 

terminated or (ii) if an NRSRO engaged to rate a Serviced Companion Loan Security qualifies, downgrades or withdraws its rating of such Serviced Companion Loan Security, publicly citing servicing concerns with the Special Servicer as the sole or a material factor in such rating action and that rating action is not withdrawn within 60 days, then the Trustee, at the direction of the Companion Loan Noteholder, shall terminate the Special Servicer with respect to the related Serviced Whole Loan only, but no other Mortgage Loan.

 

(e)        If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is terminated pursuant to this Section 7.01, the Trustee (the “Terminating Party” ) shall, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be (the “Terminated Party” ), terminate all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof, other than any rights the Terminated Party has to Excess Servicing Fees, any rights it has hereunder as a Certificateholder and any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination (including the right to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement, plus interest at the Reimbursement Rate on such amounts until received to the extent such amounts bear interest as provided in this Agreement, with respect to periods prior to the date of such termination and the right to the benefits of Section 6.03 of this Agreement notwithstanding any such termination), and with respect to the Special Servicer, the right to receive any Workout Fee subsequent to its termination as Special Servicer, pursuant to Section 3.12(c) of this Agreement. No successor Special Servicer shall be entitled to such Workout Fee received by the terminated Special Servicer. On or after the receipt by the Terminated Party of such written notice, all of its authority and power under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates (except that the Terminated Party shall retain its rights as a Certificateholder if and to the extent that it is a Certificateholder), the Mortgage Loans, the Serviced Companion Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Terminating Party pursuant to and under this Section 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 the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each agree in the event it is terminated pursuant to this Section 7.01 to promptly (and in any event no later than ten Business Days subsequent to such notice) provide, at its own expense, the Terminating Party 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 Master Servicer or Special Servicer 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 Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to the Collection Account, the applicable Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account, any REO Account, the Loss of Value Reserve Fund, any Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account, Lock-Box Account or Cash Collateral Account or which shall thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans, and shall promptly provide the Terminating Party or such successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer (which may include the Trustee) all documents and records reasonably requested by it, such documents and records to be provided in such form as the Terminating Party or such successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall reasonably request (including electronic form), to enable it to assume

 

 



    -394-


     

    

 

the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s function hereunder. All reasonable costs and expenses of the Terminating Party (including the cost of obtaining a Rating Agency Confirmation and any applicable indemnity) or the successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer incurred in connection with transferring the Mortgage Files to the successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer and amending this Agreement to reflect such succession as successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer pursuant to this Section 7.01 shall be paid by the predecessor Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses. If the predecessor Master Servicer or Special Servicer (as the case may be) has not reimbursed the Terminating Party or the successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer for such expenses within 90 days after the presentation of reasonable documentation, such expense shall be reimbursed by the Trust Fund; provided that the Terminated Party shall not thereby be relieved of its liability for such expenses. If and to the extent that the Terminated Party has not reimbursed such costs and expenses, the Terminating Party shall have an affirmative obligation to take all reasonable actions to collect such expenses on behalf of the Trust Fund.

 

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

 

No removal or replacement of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer as contemplated by this Agreement shall become effective until (i) the Trustee or a successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall have assumed the resigning or terminated Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s responsibilities, duties, liabilities and obligations hereunder, (ii) the Certificate Administrator shall have filed any required Form 8-K pursuant to Section 10.09, (iii) any other information required under Section 10.03 or Section 10.09 has been delivered to any applicable Other Depositor with respect to any related Companion Loan, and (iv) as to any resignation, removal, succession, merger or consolidation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer that would constitute a Reportable Event, upon at least 4 Business Days prior notice of the anticipated effective date of such event, the Certificate Administrator and the Depositor shall cooperate in a timely manner with the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or any other Person pursuing such resignation, removal, succession, merger or consolidation, as applicable, in connection with the Depositor’s or the Certificate Administrator’s obligation to file any related required Form 8-K relating to this Trust on the anticipated effective date of such event.

 

Section 7.02     Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. Upon the receipt of a notice of termination by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 7.01 of this Agreement, the Terminating Party (subject to Section 7.01(a) and Section 7.01(c)) shall be its successor, until a successor is appointed by the Directing Holder as provided in this Section 7.02 or Section 3.22(b), as applicable, in all respects in its capacity as the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and, except as provided herein, shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties, limitations on liability and liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter placed on the Master Servicer or Special Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof, provided that (i) the Terminating Party shall have no responsibilities, duties, liabilities or obligations with respect to any act or omission of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer and (ii) any failure to perform, or delay in

 

 



    -395-


     

    

 

performing, such duties or responsibilities caused by the Terminated Party’s failure to provide, or delay in providing, records, tapes, disks, information or monies shall not be considered a termination event for such successor hereunder. The Trustee, as successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer, shall be indemnified to the full extent provided to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, under this Agreement prior to the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s termination. The appointment of a successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer shall not affect any liability of the predecessor Master Servicer or Special Servicer which may have arisen prior to its termination as the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer. The Terminating Party shall not be liable for any of the representations and warranties of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer herein or in any related document or agreement, for any acts or omissions of the predecessor Master Servicer or predecessor Special Servicer or for any losses incurred in respect of any Permitted Investment by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.07 hereunder nor shall the Trustee be required to purchase any Mortgage Loan or any Serviced Companion Loan hereunder. As compensation therefor, the Terminating Party as successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Compensation or Special Servicing Compensation, as applicable, and all funds relating to the Mortgage Loans or the Serviced Companion Loans that accrue after the date of the Terminating Party’s succession to which such predecessor Master Servicer or Special Servicer would have been entitled if such predecessor Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, had continued to act hereunder. If any Advances made by the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall at any time be outstanding, or any amounts of interest thereon shall be accrued and unpaid, all amounts available to repay Advances and interest hereunder shall be applied entirely to the Advances made by the Trustee (and the accrued and unpaid interest thereon), until such Advances and interest shall have been repaid in full. Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall if it is unable to so act or if the Holders of Certificates entitled to (i) in the case of the Master Servicer, at least 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights (or, for so long as no Control Termination Event is continuing, the Directing Holder), or (ii) in the case of the Special Servicer, at least 25% of the aggregate Pooled Voting Rights (other than with respect to the Chase Center Tower Whole Loans) and (iii) 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights in the case of the Special Servicer with respect to the Chase Center Tower Whole Loans (or, for so long as no Control Termination Event is continuing, the Directing Holder), so request in writing to the Trustee, or, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, if an affected Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder so requests in writing to the Trustee, or if the Trustee is not an “approved”  servicer by any of the Rating Agencies for mortgage pools similar to the Trust Fund, promptly appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established mortgage loan servicing institution that, for so long as no Control Termination Event is continuing, has been approved by the Directing Holder (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld in the case of the appointment of a successor Master Servicer) to act as the successor to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer hereunder; provided that the Trustee shall obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to the Certificates and any Serviced Companion Loan Securities. No appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer hereunder shall be effective until the assumption by such successor of all the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder, which appointment has been approved, if no Control Termination Event is continuing, by the Directing Holder, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer if

 

 



    -396-


     

    

 

the Special Servicer is also the Master Servicer) hereunder, unless the Trustee shall be prohibited by law from so acting, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. Pending the appointment of a successor to the Special Servicer, the Trustee shall act in such capacity. In connection with such appointment and assumption described herein, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans, Serviced Companion Loans or otherwise as it and such successor shall agree; provided that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted to the Terminated Party hereunder, unless no successor to the Terminated Party can be obtained to perform the obligations of such Terminated Party hereunder, in which case additional amounts shall be paid to such successor and such amounts in excess of that permitted the Terminated Party shall be treated as Realized Losses and VRR Realized Losses. Any successor Special Servicer shall be subject to the rights of the Directing Holder under Section 3.22(b) of this Agreement. The Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.

 

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

 

Section
7.03     Notification to Certificateholders and Other Persons.  (a) Upon its receipt of written
notice of any termination pursuant to Section 7.01 above or appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, the Certificate Administrator shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders at their respective addresses
appearing in the Certificate Register, the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Information
Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement) and to each Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder
at its address appearing in the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder Register.

 

(b)        Within 30 days after the occurrence of any Servicer Termination Event (or any analogous servicer termination event under any Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to any Non-Serviced Whole Loan) of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator (who shall then notify all Holders of Certificates), the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement), and each Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder, notice of such Servicer Termination Event, unless such Servicer Termination Event shall have been cured or waived.

 

Section 7.04     Other Remedies of Trustee. During the continuance of any Servicer Termination Event, so long as the Servicer Termination Event shall not have been remedied, the Trustee, in addition to the rights specified in Section 7.01 of this Agreement, 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

 

 



    -397-


     

    

 

interests, and enforce the rights and remedies, of the Certificateholders and, in the case of any Serviced Companion Loan, of the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders (including the institution and prosecution of all judicial, administrative and other proceedings and the filing of proofs of claim and debt in connection therewith). In such event, the legal fees, expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund (and, in the case of any Serviced Whole Loan, such amounts shall be allocated in accordance with the expense allocation provision of the related Intercreditor Agreement). 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.

 

Section 7.05     Waiver of Past Servicer Termination Events; Termination. The Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than (a) 66-2/3% of the aggregate Voting Rights of the Certificates in the case of the Master Servicer, (b) 66-2/3% of the aggregate Pooled Voting Rights in the case of the Special Servicer (other than with respect to the Chase Center Tower Whole Loans) and (c) 66-2/3% of the aggregate Voting Rights in the case of the Special Servicer with respect to the Chase Center Tower Whole Loans may, together with each affected Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder (to the extent they are adversely affected by such Servicer Termination Event), on behalf of all Holders of Certificates waive any termination event with respect to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences, except a termination event with respect to making any required deposits (including, with respect to the Master Servicer, P&I Advances) to or payments from the Collection Account, any Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account or the Lower-Tier Distribution Account, or in remitting payments as received, in each case in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any such waiver of a past termination event, such termination event shall cease to exist, and any Servicer Termination Event arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other termination event or impair any right consequent thereon.

 

Section 7.06     Trustee as Maker of Advances. If the Master Servicer fails to fulfill its obligations hereunder to make any Advances and such failure remains uncured, the Trustee shall perform such obligations (x) within five Business Days of the Master Servicer Termination Event resulting from such failure by the Master Servicer with respect to Servicing Advances to the extent a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge of such failure with respect to such Servicing Advances and (y) by 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the related Distribution Date with respect to P&I Advances pursuant to the Trustee’s receipt of notice of failure pursuant to Section 4.07(a) of this Agreement unless the Trustee has received notice that such failure has been cured by 11:00 a.m. on such Distribution Date. With respect to any such Advance made by the Trustee, the Trustee shall succeed to all of the Master Servicer’s rights with respect to Advances hereunder, including, without limitation, the Master Servicer’s rights of reimbursement and interest on each Advance at the Reimbursement Rate, and rights to determine that a proposed Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance (without regard to any impairment of any such rights of reimbursement caused by the Master Servicer’s failure to perform its obligations hereunder); provided that if Advances made by the Trustee and the Master Servicer shall at any time be outstanding, or any interest on any Advance shall be accrued

 

 



    -398-


     

    

 

and unpaid, all amounts available to repay such Advances and the interest thereon hereunder shall be applied entirely to the Advances outstanding to the Trustee, until such Advances shall have been repaid in full, together with all interest accrued thereon, prior to reimbursement of the Master Servicer for such Advances. The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any notice given with respect to a Nonrecoverable Advance or any determination of nonrecoverability in connection therewith by the Master Servicer hereunder.

Neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall have any responsibility for filing any financing or continuation statement in any public office at any time or to otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest or lien granted to it hereunder (unless the Trustee shall have become the successor Master Servicer) or to record this Agreement. In making any calculation hereunder which includes as a component thereof the payment or distribution of interest for a stated period at a stated rate “to the extent permitted by applicable law,”  the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, shall assume that such payment is so permitted unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, has actual knowledge, or receives an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the Person asserting the impermissibility) to the effect, that such payment is not permitted by applicable law.

The term “unanticipated expenses incurred by the REMIC”  shall include any fees, expenses and disbursement of any separate Trustee or co-Trustee appointed hereunder, only to the extent such fees, expenses and disbursements were not reasonably anticipated as of the Closing Date and are attributable to the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC and the losses, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred or advanced by an Indemnified Party in connection with any litigation arising out of this Agreement attributable to the Lower-Tier REMIC, the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Grantor Trust, including, without limitation, under Section 2.03, Section 3.10, the third paragraph of Section 3.11, Section 4.05 and Section 7.01 of this Agreement.

Section 8.07          
Resignation and Removal of Trustee and Certificate Administrator. The Trustee and the Certificate Administrator may

the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, all Certificateholders, the RR Interest Owner, the UBR-VRR Interest Owner, the Mortgage
Loan Sellers, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Directing Holder and the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly

Control Termination Event is continuing, reasonably acceptable to the Directing Holder. Upon notice of resignation from the Certificate
Administrator, the Trustee shall promptly appoint a successor certificate administrator, the appointment of which is subject to
the requirements contained in Section 8.06 of this Agreement. If no successor trustee or certificate administrator shall
have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 90 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning
Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment
of a successor, and such petition shall be an expense of the Trust. The Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable,
shall bear all reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses of each other party hereto and each Rating Agency in connection with

The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 50% of the Voting Rights may, with cause (at any time) or without cause (at any time with 30 days’ prior written notice), remove the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator and appoint a successor by written instrument or instruments, in eight originals, signed by such Holders or their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which instruments shall be delivered to each of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the successor trustee or certificate administrator, as applicable.

In addition, if the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator is terminated without cause, the terminating party shall pay all of the expenses of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, necessary to affect the transfer of its responsibilities to the successor.

 

If the Trustee is terminated or removed pursuant to this Section 8.07, all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans shall be terminated, other than any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination or removal (including the right to receive all fees, expenses, indemnities, and other amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement, plus interest at the Reimbursement Rate on all such amounts until received to the extent such amounts bear interest as provided in this Agreement, with respect to periods prior to the date of such termination or removal).

 

If the Certificate Administrator is terminated or removed pursuant to this Section 8.07, (i) all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans shall be terminated, other than any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination or removal (including the right to receive all fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement with respect to periods prior to the date of such termination or removal) and (ii) such resignation, termination, or removal shall be effective with respect to each of its other capacities hereunder except its capacity as Custodian (but including, without limitation, its capacities as Certificate Registrar, 17g-5 Information Provider, Paying Agent and Authenticating Agent).

 

Upon the resignation, assignment, or transfer of the Trustee or its business to a successor, or upon the termination of the Trustee, (a) the outgoing Trustee, at its own expense without right to reimbursement therefor, shall (A) endorse the original executed Mortgage Note for each Mortgage Loan (to the extent that the original executed Mortgage Note for each Mortgage Loan was endorsed to the outgoing Trustee), without recourse, representation or warranty, express or implied, to the order of the successor, as trustee for the registered holders of Benchmark 2020-IG2 Mortgage Trust Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2020-IG2 or in blank, and (B) in the case of the other assignable Loan Documents (to the extent such other Loan Documents were assigned to the outgoing Trustee), assign and record such Loan Documents to such successor, and such successor shall review the documents delivered to it or to the Custodian with respect to each Mortgage Loan, and certify in writing that, as to each Mortgage Loan then subject to this Agreement, such endorsement and assignment has been made; (b) if any original executed Mortgage Note for a Mortgage Loan was not endorsed to the outgoing Trustee, the Custodian shall deliver such Mortgage Note to the successor trustee and the Custodian shall cooperate with any successor trustee to ensure that such Mortgage Note is endorsed (without recourse, representation or warranty, express or implied) to the order of the successor trustee, as trustee for the registered holders of Benchmark 2020-IG2 Mortgage Trust Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2020-IG2 or in blank. If any assignable Loan Document (other than the Mortgage Note) was not assigned to the outgoing Trustee or if the Trustee is removed pursuant to Section 8.07 without cause, with respect to the Loan Documents identified in clause (B) of the preceding sentence, the Custodian shall deliver such Loan Document to the successor trustee and, if appropriate, such Loan Documents shall be recorded at the expense of the Trust (i) other than during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, with the consent of the Directing Holder and (ii) during continuance of a


 






    -412-


     

    

 


Control Termination Event but other than during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, after consultation with the Directing Holder.

 

Section 8.08          
Successor Trustee and Certificate Administrator. (a) Any successor trustee or certificate administrator shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator (or in the case of a successor certificate
administrator, to the predecessor Certificate Administrator) and the Trustee, as the case may be, instruments accepting their
appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable,
shall become effective and such successor, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the
rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if originally named as Trustee or
Certificate Administrator, as applicable, herein; provided that such successor shall
satisfy the requirements contained in Section 8.06 of this Agreement and the Certificate Administrator shall have filed
any required Form 8-K pursuant to Section 10.09. The predecessor Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, shall
deliver to its successor all Mortgage Files and related documents and statements held by it hereunder, and the Depositor and the
predecessor Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other
things as may reasonably be required for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor all such rights, powers,
duties and obligations. No successor trustee or certificate administrator, as the case may be, shall accept appointment as provided
in this Section 8.08 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor shall be eligible under the provisions of Section
8.06 of this Agreement.

 

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section 8.08, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession of such Trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register. If the Depositor fails to mail such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be so mailed at the expense of the Depositor.

 

(b)           Any successor trustee appointed pursuant to this Agreement shall satisfy the eligibility requirements set forth in Section 8.06 hereof.

 

(c)           [Reserved].

 

Section 8.09      
Merger or Consolidation of Trustee or Certificate Administrator. Any Person into which the Trustee or the Certificate
Administrator may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion
or consolidation to which the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially
all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, shall be the successor of the Trustee or
the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, hereunder; provided that such Person
shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 of this Agreement 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. The Trustee or the
Certificate Administrator, as applicable, shall notify the other parties hereto of any such event, and the Certificate Administrator
shall post notice of such merger or consolidation to the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section
3.14(d) of this Agreement and provide notice of such event to the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post


 






    -413-


     

    

 


such
notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement).

 

Section 8.10      
Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee. Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, for the purpose
of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Fund or property securing the same may at
the time be located, or for enforcement actions, or where a conflict of interest exists, the Depositor and the Trustee acting
jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee
to act (at the expense of the Trust) as co-Trustee or co-Trustees, jointly with the Trustee, or separate Trustee or separate Trustees,
of all or any part of the Trust Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity, such title to the Trust Fund, or
any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and
trusts as the Depositor and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Depositor shall not have joined in such appointment
within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or in case a Servicer Termination Event shall have occurred and
be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. Except as required by applicable law, the appointment
of a co-Trustee or separate Trustee shall not relieve the Trustee of its responsibilities, obligations and liabilities hereunder.
No co-Trustee or separate Trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor Trustee under Section
8.06 hereunder and no notice to Holders of Certificates of the appointment of co-Trustee(s) or separate Trustee(s) shall be
required under Section 8.08 hereof.

 

In the case of any appointment of a co-Trustee or separate Trustee pursuant to this Section 8.10, all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate Trustee or co-Trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate Trustee or co-Trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Master Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust Fund or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by such separate Trustee or co-Trustee solely at the direction of the Trustee.

 

No Trustee under this Agreement shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee under this Agreement. The Depositor and the Trustee acting jointly may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate Trustee or co-Trustee, or if the separate Trustee or co-Trustee is an employee of the Trustee, the Trustee acting alone may accept the resignation of or remove any separate Trustee or co-Trustee.

 

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


 






    -414-


     

    

 


affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. In no event shall any such separate Trustee or co-Trustee be entitled to any provision relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of or affording protection to such separate Trustee or co-Trustee that imposes a standard of conduct less stringent than that imposed by the Trustee hereunder, affording greater protection than that afforded to the Trustee hereunder or providing a greater limit on liability than that provided to the Trustee hereunder.

 

Any separate Trustee or co-Trustee may, at any time, constitute the Trustee its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate Trustee or co-Trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor Trustee.

payment due on any Mortgage Loan, Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and REO Property (as applicable) included in the Trust Fund;
provided that in no event shall the trust created hereby continue beyond the expiration of twenty-one years from the death
of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the United Kingdom,
living on the date hereof.

 

(b)           The Trust Fund, the Lower-Tier REMIC, the Upper-Tier REMIC and Trust Subordinate Companion Loan REMIC shall be terminated and the assets of the Trust Fund shall be sold or otherwise disposed of in connection therewith, only pursuant to a “plan of complete liquidation”  within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(4)(A) of the Code providing for the actions contemplated by the provisions hereof and pursuant to which the applicable notice of termination is given, and requiring that the Trust Fund, the Lower-Tier REMIC, the Upper-Tier REMIC and Trust Subordinate Companion Loan REMIC shall terminate on a Distribution Date occurring not more than 90 days following the date of adoption of the plan of complete liquidation. Notwithstanding the termination of the Lower-Tier REMIC, the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan REMIC, the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Trust Fund, the Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for filing the final Tax Returns for each such Trust REMIC and the Grantor Trust for the period ending with such termination, and shall retain books and records with respect to such Trust REMICs and the Grantor Trust for the same period of

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

the provisions of Regulation AB and related rules and regulations of the Commission. None of the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator
or the Trustee shall exercise its rights to request delivery of information or other performance under these provisions other

interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB may change over time due to interpretive guidance provided by the Commission
or its staff, and agree to comply, subject to Section 10.02, with reasonable requests
made by the Depositor (or any Other Depositor or Other Trustee of any Other Securitization that includes a Serviced Companion
Loan), the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee in reasonable good faith for delivery of information under these provisions
on the basis of such evolving interpretations of Regulation AB (to the extent such interpretations require compliance and are

in its possession and necessary in the reasonable good faith determination of the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the
Trustee or such Other Depositor or Other Trustee, as applicable, to permit the Depositor or such Other Depositor, as applicable,

Serviced Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loans, reasonably believed by the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator,
the Trustee or the related Other Depositor or the related Other Trustee, as applicable, in good faith to be necessary in order
to effect such compliance. Each party to this Agreement shall have a reasonable period of time to comply with any written request
made under this Section 10.01, but in any event, shall, upon reasonable advance written request, provide information in
sufficient time to allow the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, to satisfy any related filing
requirements.

 

For purposes of this Article X, to the extent any party has an obligation to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to cause a third party to perform, such party hereunder shall not be required to bring any legal action against such third party in connection with such obligation.

provision of this Article X to the contrary notwithstanding, including, without limitation,
any deadlines for delivery set forth in this Article X, in connection with the requirements
contained in this Article X that provide for the delivery of information and other items
to, and the cooperation with, the Other Depositor and Other Trustee of any Other Securitization that includes a Serviced Companion
Loan and is subject to Regulation AB, no party hereunder shall be obligated to provide any such items to or cooperate with such

    -426-


     

    

 


the period of time it was subject to this Agreement or the applicable Sub-Servicing Agreement, as the case may be.

 

The parties hereto acknowledge that a material instance of noncompliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria reported on an assessment of compliance pursuant to this Section 10.12 by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Custodian shall not, as a result of being so reported, in and of itself, constitute a breach of such parties’ obligations or a Servicer Termination Event, as applicable, under this Agreement unless otherwise provided for in this Agreement.

 

For so long as the Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan serviced under an Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall use commercially reasonable efforts to procure an annual report on assessment of compliance as described in this Section and an attestation as described in Section 10.13 from the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Service Providers in form and substance similar to the annual report on assessment of compliance described in this Section (or in such Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as the case may be) and the attestation described in Section 10.13. The Master Servicer shall promptly forward to the Certificate Administrator and the Depositor any such assessment of compliance received by the Master Servicer. Until such time as the Certificate Administrator receives notice that the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Service Providers no longer have a continuing obligation under the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement related to an Other Securitization that includes the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan to provide to the Trust an annual report on assessment of compliance as described in this Section and an attestation as described in Section 10.13 for any year that the Trust formed under this Agreement is not subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Service Providers if such parties fail to deliver to the Certificate Administrator such assessment of compliance and attestation within the time frame required by such Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Section 10.13   
Annual Independent Public Accountants’ Servicing Report. By March 1st, of each year, commencing in June 2020,
each Reporting Servicer, each at its own expense, shall cause, and each Reporting Servicer, as applicable, shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to cause each Servicing Function Participant (other than a party to this Agreement) with which it has entered
into a servicing relationship with respect to the Serviced Mortgage Loans, each at such Servicing Function Participant’s
own expense, a registered public accounting firm (which may also render other services to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer
and such 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 Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor (and to any Other Depositor and Other
Trustee for any Other Securitization that includes a Serviced Companion Loan) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly
post such report to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.16(d) of this Agreement) 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 Relevant Servicing Criteria in all material respects,
and (ii) on the basis of an examination conducted by such firm in accordance with standards for attestation engagements issued
or adopted by the


 






    -427-


     

    

 


PCAOB, it is expressing an opinion as to whether such Reporting Servicer’s compliance with the Relevant
Servicing Criteria was fairly stated in all material respects, or it cannot express an overall opinion regarding such Reporting
Servicer’s assessment of compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria. If 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. Such report must be
available for general use and not contain restricted use language. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee shall not be required
to deliver an annual independent public accountants’ servicing report with respect to any period during which there was
no Relevant Servicing Criteria applicable to it.

 

Promptly after receipt of such report from each Reporting Servicer, (i) the Depositor (and any Other Depositor related to an Other Securitization that includes a Serviced Companion Loan) shall have the right to review the report and, if applicable, consult with the related Reporting Servicer as to the nature of any material instance of noncompliance by such Reporting Servicer with the Servicing Criteria applicable to such person, as the case may be, in the fulfillment of any of such Reporting Servicer’s obligations hereunder or under any applicable sub-servicing agreement or primary servicing agreement, and (ii) the Certificate Administrator shall confirm that each assessment submitted pursuant to Section 10.12 is coupled with an attestation meeting the requirements of this Section and notify the Depositor (and any Other Depositor related to an Other Securitization that includes a Serviced Companion Loan) of any exceptions; provided that the Certificate Administrator shall not be responsible for confirming whether any particular Reporting Servicer has certified to all of the Relevant Servicing Criteria applicable to it. No Reporting Servicer shall be required to deliver, or to endeavor to cause the delivery of, such reports until April 15 in any given year so long as it has received written confirmation from the Depositor that a Form 10-K is not required to be filed in respect of the Trust (or, in the case of a Serviced Companion Loan, the related Other Securitization that includes such Serviced Companion Loan) for the preceding calendar year. If any Reporting Servicer is terminated or resigns pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or any applicable Sub-Servicing Agreement or primary servicing agreement, as the case may be, such Reporting Servicer shall provide the report pursuant to this Section 10.13 with respect to the period of time it was subject to this Agreement or the applicable Sub-Servicing Agreement or primary servicing agreement, as the case may be.

 

Section 10.14  
Exchange Act Reporting Indemnification. For so long as any Other Securitization is subject to the reporting requirements
of the Exchange Act, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Custodian (if not the Certificate Administrator),
the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall indemnify and hold harmless each Certification Party, the Depositor (and any
Other Depositor related to an Other Securitization that includes a Serviced Companion Loan), their respective directors and officers,
and each other person who controls any such entity within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20
of the Exchange Act, against any and all expenses, losses, claims, damages and other liabilities, including without limitation
the costs of investigation, legal defense and any amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation arising out of (i) the
failure to perform its obligations to the Depositor (or any Other Depositor related to an Other Securitization that includes a
Serviced Companion Loan) or Certificate Administrator (or any Other Trustee related to an Other Securitization that includes a
Serviced Companion Loan) under this Article X by the time required, (ii) any untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any


 






    -428-


     

    

 


information (x) regarding such party or any Servicing Function Participant, Additional Servicer or subcontractor engaged by it (other than any Mortgage Loan Seller Sub-Servicer), (y) prepared by any such party described in clause (x) or any registered public accounting firm, attorney or other agent retained by such party to prepare such information and (z) delivered by or on behalf of such party in connection with the performance of such party’s obligations described in this Article X, or the omission or alleged omission to state in any such information a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that the applicable party shall be entitled to participate in any action arising out of the foregoing and the Depositor shall consult with such party with respect to any litigation or audit strategy, as applicable, in connection with the foregoing and any potential settlement terms related thereto, (iii) the failure of any Servicing Function Participant or Additional Servicer retained by it (other than a Mortgage Loan Seller Sub-Servicer) to perform its obligations to the Depositor (or any Other Depositor related to an Other Securitization that includes a Serviced Companion Loan) or Certificate Administrator (or any Other Trustee related to an Other Securitization that includes a Serviced Companion Loan) under this Article X by the time required or (iv) any Deficient Exchange Act Deliverable.

 

In addition, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall cooperate (and require each Servicing Function Participant and Additional Servicer retained by it to cooperate under the applicable Sub-Servicing Agreement) with the Depositor (and each Other Depositor) as necessary for the Depositor (and such Other Depositor) to conduct any reasonable due diligence necessary to evaluate and assess any material instances of non-compliance disclosed in any of the deliverables required by the applicable reporting requirements under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (“Reporting Requirements” ).

 

In connection with comments provided to the Depositor or any Other Depositor from the Commission regarding information (x) delivered by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, a Servicing Function Participant or an Additional Servicer, as applicable (“Affected Reporting Party” ), (y) regarding such Affected Reporting Party, and (z) prepared by such Affected Reporting Party or any registered public accounting firm, attorney or other agent retained by such party to prepare such information, which information is contained in a report filed by the Depositor or such Other Depositor, as applicable, under the Reporting Requirements and which comments are received subsequent to the Depositor’s or such Other Depositor’s, as applicable, filing of such report, the Depositor shall (or such Other Depositor may) promptly provide to such Affected Reporting Party any such comments which relate to such Affected Reporting Party. Upon receipt of such comments, such Affected Reporting Party shall be responsible for timely preparing a written response to the Commission for inclusion in the Depositor’s or such Other Depositor’s, as applicable, response to the Commission, unless such Affected Reporting Party elects, with the consent of the Depositor or such Other Depositor, as applicable (which consent shall not be unreasonably denied, withheld or delayed), to directly communicate with the Commission and negotiate a response and/or resolution with the Commission; provided, however, if an Affected Reporting Party is a Servicing Function Participant or Additional Servicer retained by the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer shall receive copies of all material communications pursuant to this Section 10.14. If such election is made, the applicable Affected Reporting Party shall be


 






    -429-


     

    

 


responsible for directly negotiating such response and/or resolution with the Commission in a timely manner; provided that (i) such Affected Reporting Party shall use reasonable efforts to keep the Depositor or such Other Depositor, as applicable, informed of its progress with the Commission and copy the Depositor or such Other Depositor, as applicable, on all correspondence with the Commission and provide the Depositor or such Other Depositor, as applicable, with the opportunity to participate (at the Depositor’s or such Other Depositor’s expense, as applicable) in any telephone conferences and meetings with the Commission and (ii) the Depositor or such Other Depositor, as applicable, shall cooperate with any Affected Reporting Party in order to authorize such Affected Reporting Party and its representatives to respond to and negotiate directly with the Commission with respect to any comments from the Commission relating to such Affected Reporting Party and to notify the Commission of such authorization. The Depositor (or such Other Depositor, as applicable) and the Affected Reporting Party shall cooperate and coordinate with one another with respect to any requests made to the Commission for extension of time for submitting a response or compliance. All respective reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Depositor or such Other Depositor, as applicable (including reasonable legal fees and expenses of outside counsel to the Depositor or such Other Depositor, as applicable), in connection with the foregoing (other than those costs and expenses required to be at the Depositor’s or such Other Depositor’s expense, as applicable and as set forth above) and any amendments to any reports filed with the Commission related thereto shall be promptly paid by the applicable Affected Reporting Party upon receipt of an itemized invoice from the Depositor or such Other Depositor, as applicable. Each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any Servicing Function Participant or Additional Servicer retained by it to comply with the foregoing by inclusion of similar provisions in the related sub-servicing or similar agreement.

 

The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Servicing Function Participant (other than any party to this Agreement) with which it has entered into a servicing relationship with respect to the Serviced Mortgage Loans to indemnify and hold harmless each Certification Party from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses incurred by such Certification Party arising out of (i) a breach of its obligations to provide any of the annual compliance statements or annual assessment of servicing criteria or attestation reports pursuant to this Agreement, or the applicable Sub-Servicing Agreement, as applicable or (ii) any Deficient Exchange Act Deliverable.

 

If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless any Certification Party, then the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, each Additional Servicer or other Servicing Function Participant (the “Performing Party” ) shall, and the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Servicing Function Participant with which it has entered into a servicing relationship (other than a party to this Agreement) with respect to the Serviced Mortgage Loans to contribute to the amount paid or payable to the Certification Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the Certification Party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Certification Party on the one hand and the Performing Party on the other in connection with a


 






    -430-


     

    

 


breach of the Performing Party’s obligations pursuant to this Article X. The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Servicing Function Participant (other than any party to this Agreement) with which it has entered into a servicing relationship with respect to the Serviced Mortgage Loans to agree to the foregoing indemnification and contribution obligations.

 

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

X; provided that such termination shall not be effective until a successor certificate administrator shall have
accepted the appointment.

The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it hereunder, the Certificates or the RR Interest or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the Holders of Certificates or the RR Interest Owner, unless such Holders or the RR Interest Owner, as applicable, have offered to the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or hereby.

The Trustee or the Certificate Administrator may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment which affects the Trustee’s or the Certificate Administrator’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Agreement.

 

Notwithstanding any contrary provision contained in this Agreement, no amendment shall be made to this Agreement (i) which adversely affects the rights, including (without limitation) as a third-party beneficiary hereunder, and/or obligations (including, without limitation, in the case of a Mortgage Loan Seller, under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement) of any Mortgage Loan Seller or Initial Purchaser without the written consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller or Initial Purchaser, as applicable, (ii) which adversely affects (as determined by the applicable Companion Loan Noteholder in good faith) the rights and/or obligations of any Companion Loan Noteholder without the written consent of such Companion Loan Noteholder or (iii) which adversely affects the rights of the Holders of the Loan-Specific Certificates without the consent of such Holders.

 

Promptly after the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall post a copy of the same to the Certificate Administrator’s Website, deliver a copy of the same to the 17g-5 Information Provider who shall post a copy of the same on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement, and, thereafter, the Certificate Administrator shall furnish a written notification of the substance of such amendment to each Certificateholder, the Depositor, the Master Servicer (who shall promptly forward such notification to each Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder, Other Depositor, Other Servicer, Other Special Servicer and Other Trustee), the Special Servicer, the Trustee, each Mortgage Loan Seller and the Initial Purchasers.

Downgrade Confirmation from each Rating Agency (obtained at the expense of the repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller) with respect to such amendment (or, if no such No Downgrade Confirmation is actually received, by an opinion of counsel to such effect). Prior to the effectiveness of such amendment, if one but not all of the Notes with respect to a Joint Mortgage Loan is repurchased, the terms of Article III shall govern the servicing and administration of such Joint Mortgage Loan.

 

Section 12.09  
Confirmation of Intent. It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Trust Fund (including
the Mortgage Loans) by the Depositor to the Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders as contemplated by this Agreement be treated
for all purposes as a sale by the Depositor of the Trust Fund to the Trustee. It is, further, not the intention of the parties
that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Trust Fund by the Depositor to the Trustee to secure a debt or other obligation
of the Depositor. However, if, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the Trust Fund is held to continue to be property of
the Depositor then (a) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement under applicable law; (b) the transfer of
the Trust Fund provided for herein shall be deemed to be a grant by the Depositor to the Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders
of a first priority security interest in, and the Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee a security interest in, all of the Depositor’s
right, title and interest in and to, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising, the property identified in
clauses (i) through (xiv) of the definition of “Trust Fund”  and all proceeds thereof; (c) the possession by the Trustee
(or the Custodian on its behalf) of Mortgage Notes and such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable
documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be “possession by the secured party”  for purposes of perfecting the
security interest pursuant to Section 9-313 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code; and (d) notifications to Persons holding
such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from Persons holding such property, shall be deemed notifications
to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Trustee
for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. The Depositor shall, and upon the request and direction
of the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement (and at the expense of the Trust Fund
(and, in the case of any Whole Loan, such expense shall be allocated in accordance with the expense allocation provision of the
related Intercreditor Agreement)), take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that such security interest is a perfected
security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement.
It is the intent of the parties that such a security interest would be effective whether any of the Certificates are sold, pledged
or assigned.

 

Section 12.10  
No Intended Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as specified in Section 12.12
of this Agreement, no Person other than a party to this Agreement, any Mortgage Loan Seller, any Initial Purchaser or any Certificateholder
shall have any rights with respect to the enforcement of any of the rights or obligations hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing
and for the avoidance of doubt, subject to Section 12.12 of this Agreement, the parties
to this Agreement specifically state that no Borrower, Manager or other party to a Mortgage Loan is an intended third-party beneficiary
of this Agreement.

hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby.

 

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2020 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between the Depositor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as master servicer (the “Master Servicer”), Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as special servicer (the “Special Servicer”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”), and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as certificate administrator (in such capacity, the “Certificate Administrator”), as custodian and as paying agent, evidences the issuance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class X-A, Class A-M, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class S, Class R, Class RR, Class UBR-B, Class UBR-C and Class UBR-D Certificates (the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”) and the creation of the RR Interest and the UBR-VRR Interest.  This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.

 

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Certificate Administrator, will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the fourth Business Day after each Determination Date (each such date, a “Distribution Date”) an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class A-1 Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  “Determination Date” is defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as the eleventh day of each month, or if such eleventh day is not a Business Day, then the next Business Day, commencing in June 2020.  Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

 



    A-1-5



     


    

 

During each Interest Accrual Period (as defined below), interest on the Class A-1 Certificates will be calculated based on a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months on the outstanding Certificate Balance hereof.

 

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

 

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the Persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs.  Such distributions shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date, (i) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor if such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or (ii) otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register.  The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.

 

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders.  If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive the final distribution with respect thereto.  If within one year after the second notice not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates.  The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds.  Subject to applicable state escheatment laws, if within two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall distribute to the Certificate Administrator all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof, and the Certificate Administrator shall thereafter hold such amounts for the benefit of such Holders until the earlier of (i) its termination as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the transfer of such amounts to a successor Certificate Administrator and (ii) the termination of the Trust Fund and distribution of such amounts to the Class R Certificateholders.  No interest shall

 

 



    A-1-6



     


    

 

accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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 the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  Any such amounts transferred to the Certificate Administrator may be invested in Permitted Investments and all income and gain realized from investment of such funds shall accrue for its benefit.

 

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

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes (in each case, to the extent of the Trust Fund’s interest therein and specifically excluding any interest of any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder (other than the Trust Subordinate Companion Loans, which are assets of the Trust Fund) therein):  (i) such Mortgage Loans and Trust Subordinate Companion Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans and Trust Subordinate Companion Loans due after the Cut-off Date; (iii) the Trust Fund’s interest in any REO Property; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property; (v) any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security agreements related to the Mortgage Loans; (vi) any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loans and Trust Subordinate Companion Loans; (vii) a security interest in all assets deposited in the Lock-Box Accounts, Cash Collateral Accounts, Escrow Accounts and Reserve Accounts; (viii) the Loss of Value Reserve Fund; (ix) the Collection Account, the Serviced Whole Loan Collection Accounts, the Distribution Accounts, any Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Chase Center Tower Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and the Trust’s interest in any REO Account, including any amounts on deposit therein, assets credited thereto and any reinvestment income, as applicable; (x) a security interest in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (xi) a security interest in all insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loans; (xii) the rights and remedies under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements relating to document delivery requirements with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the representations and warranties of the related Mortgage Loan Seller regarding its Mortgage Loans (and in the case of JPMCB, the Trust Subordinate Companion Loans); (xiii) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; (xiv) the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan REMIC Regular Interests; and (xv) the proceeds of the foregoing (other than any interest earned on deposits in the Lock-Box Accounts, Cash Collateral Accounts, Escrow Accounts and any Reserve Accounts, to the extent such interest belongs to the related Borrower).  As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals may be made from certain of the above accounts for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders.

 

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

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, this Certificate is transferable or exchangeable only upon surrender of this Certificate to the Certificate Registrar at its offices together with an assignment and transfer (executed by the Holder or his duly authorized attorney), subject to the requirements in Article V of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  Upon surrender for registration of transfer of this Certificate, subject to the requirements in Article V of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall duly authenticate in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations of a like aggregate denomination as the Certificate being surrendered.  Such Certificates shall be delivered by the Certificate Registrar in accordance with Article V of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent or any agent of any of them shall be affected by notice or knowledge to the contrary.

 

No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred to in Section 5.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement other than for transfers to Institutional Accredited Investors as provided in Section 5.02(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the transferor shall reimburse the Trust Fund for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer.  The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer.

hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby.

 

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2020 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between the Depositor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as master servicer (the “Master Servicer”), Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as special servicer (the “Special Servicer”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”), and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as certificate administrator (in such capacity, the “Certificate Administrator”), as custodian and as paying agent, evidences the issuance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class X-A, Class A-M, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class S, Class R, Class RR, Class UBR-B, Class UBR-C and Class UBR-D Certificates (the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”) and the creation of the RR Interest and the UBR-VRR Interest.  This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.

 

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. 


 


Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Certificate Administrator, will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the fourth Business Day after each Determination Date (each such date, a “Distribution Date”) an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class A-2 Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  “Determination Date” is defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as the eleventh day of each month, or if such eleventh day is not a Business Day, then the next Business Day, commencing in June 2020.  Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

During each Interest Accrual Period (as defined below), interest on the Class A-2 Certificates will be calculated based on a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months on the outstanding Certificate Balance hereof.




 



    A-2-5



     


    

  

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

 

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the Persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs.  Such distributions shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date, (i) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor if such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or (ii) otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register.  The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.

 

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders.  If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive the final distribution with respect thereto.  If within one year after the second notice not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates.  The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds.  Subject to applicable state escheatment laws, if within two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall distribute to the Certificate Administrator all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof, and the Certificate Administrator shall thereafter hold such amounts for the benefit of such Holders until the earlier of (i) its termination as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the transfer of such amounts to a successor Certificate Administrator and (ii) the termination of the Trust Fund and distribution of such amounts to the Class R Certificateholders.  No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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 the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  Any such amounts transferred to the Certificate Administrator may be



 



    A-2-6



     


    

 

invested in Permitted Investments and all income and gain realized from investment of such funds shall accrue for its benefit.

 

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

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes (in each case, to the extent of the Trust Fund’s interest therein and specifically excluding any interest of any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder (other than the Trust Subordinate Companion Loans, which are assets of the Trust Fund) therein):  (i) such Mortgage Loans and Trust Subordinate Companion Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans and Trust Subordinate Companion Loans due after the Cut-off Date; (iii) the Trust Fund’s interest in any REO Property; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property; (v) any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security agreements related to the Mortgage Loans; (vi) any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loans and Trust Subordinate Companion Loans; (vii) a security interest in all assets deposited in the Lock-Box Accounts, Cash Collateral Accounts, Escrow Accounts and Reserve Accounts; (viii) the Loss of Value Reserve Fund; (ix) the Collection Account, the Serviced Whole Loan Collection Accounts, the Distribution Accounts, any Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Chase Center Tower Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and the Trust’s interest in any REO Account, including any amounts on deposit therein, assets credited thereto and any reinvestment income, as applicable; (x) a security interest in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (xi) a security interest in all insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loans; (xii) the rights and remedies under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements relating to document delivery requirements with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the representations and warranties of the related Mortgage Loan Seller regarding its Mortgage Loans (and in the case of JPMCB, the Trust Subordinate Companion Loans); (xiii) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; (xiv) the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan REMIC Regular Interests; and (xv) the proceeds of the foregoing (other than any interest earned on deposits in the Lock-Box Accounts, Cash Collateral Accounts, Escrow Accounts and any Reserve Accounts, to the extent such interest belongs to the related Borrower).  As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals may be made from certain of the above accounts for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders.

 

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

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, this Certificate is transferable or exchangeable only upon surrender of this Certificate to the Certificate Registrar at its offices together with an assignment and transfer (executed by the Holder or his duly authorized attorney), subject to the requirements in

hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby.

 

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2020 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between the Depositor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as master servicer (the “Master Servicer”), Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as special servicer (the “Special Servicer”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”), and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as certificate administrator (in such capacity, the “Certificate Administrator”), as custodian and as paying agent, evidences the issuance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class X-A, Class A-M, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class S, Class R, Class RR, Class UBR-B, Class UBR-C and Class UBR-D Certificates (the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”) and the creation of the RR Interest and the UBR-VRR Interest.  This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.

 

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Certificate Administrator, will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the fourth Business Day after each Determination Date (each such date, a “Distribution Date”) an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class A-3 Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  “Determination Date” is defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as the eleventh day of each month, or if such eleventh day is not a Business Day, then the next Business Day, commencing in June 2020.  Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

During each Interest Accrual Period (as defined below), interest on the Class A-3 Certificates will be calculated based on a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months on the outstanding Certificate Balance hereof.



 



    A-3-5



     


    

 

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

 

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the Persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs.  Such distributions shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date, (i) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor if such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or (ii) otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register.  The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.

 

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders.  If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive the final distribution with respect thereto.  If within one year after the second notice not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates.  The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds.  Subject to applicable state escheatment laws, if within two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall distribute to the Certificate Administrator all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof, and the Certificate Administrator shall thereafter hold such amounts for the benefit of such Holders until the earlier of (i) its termination as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the transfer of such amounts to a successor Certificate Administrator and (ii) the termination of the Trust Fund and distribution of such amounts to the Class R Certificateholders.  No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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 the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  Any such amounts transferred to the Certificate Administrator may be



 



    A-3-6

hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby.


The Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2020 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between the Depositor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as master servicer (the “Master Servicer”), Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as special servicer (the “Special Servicer”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”), and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as certificate administrator (in such capacity, the “Certificate Administrator”), as custodian and as paying agent, evidences the issuance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class X-A, Class A-M, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class S, Class R, Class RR, Class UBR-B, Class UBR-C and Class UBR-D Certificates (the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”) and the creation of the RR Interest and the UBR-VRR Interest.  This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Certificate Administrator, will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the fourth Business Day after each Determination Date (each such date, a “Distribution Date”) an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class X-A Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  “Determination Date” is defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as the eleventh day of each month, or if such eleventh day is not a Business Day, then the next Business Day, commencing in June 2020.  Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

During each Interest Accrual Period (as defined below), interest on the Class X-A Certificates will be calculated based on a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months on the outstanding Notional Balance hereof.



    A-4-3



     


    

 

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

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the Persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs.  Such distributions shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date, (i) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor if such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or (ii) otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register.  The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders.  If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive the final distribution with respect thereto.  If within one year after the second notice not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates.  The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds.  Subject to applicable state escheatment laws, if within two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall distribute to the Certificate Administrator all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof, and the Certificate Administrator shall thereafter hold such amounts for the benefit of such Holders until the earlier of (i) its termination as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the transfer of such amounts to a successor Certificate Administrator and (ii) the termination of the Trust Fund and distribution of such amounts to the Class R Certificateholders.  No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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 the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  Any such amounts transferred to the Certificate Administrator may be 



    A-4-4



     


    

 

invested in Permitted Investments and all income and gain realized from investment of such funds shall accrue for its benefit.



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

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes (in each case, to the extent of the Trust Fund’s interest therein and specifically excluding any interest of any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder (other than the Trust Subordinate Companion Loans, which are assets of the Trust Fund) therein):  (i) such Mortgage Loans and Trust Subordinate Companion Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans and Trust Subordinate Companion Loans due after the Cut-off Date; (iii) the Trust Fund’s interest in any REO Property; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property; (v) any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security agreements related to the Mortgage Loans; (vi) any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loans and Trust Subordinate Companion Loans; (vii) a security interest in all assets deposited in the Lock-Box Accounts, Cash Collateral Accounts, Escrow Accounts and Reserve Accounts; (viii) the Loss of Value Reserve Fund; (ix) the Collection Account, the Serviced Whole Loan Collection Accounts, the Distribution Accounts, any Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Chase Center Tower Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and the Trust’s interest in any REO Account, including any amounts on deposit therein, assets credited thereto and any reinvestment income, as applicable; (x) a security interest in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (xi) a security interest in all insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loans; (xii) the rights and remedies under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements relating to document delivery requirements with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the representations and warranties of the related Mortgage Loan Seller regarding its Mortgage Loans (and in the case of JPMCB, the Trust Subordinate Companion Loans); (xiii) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; (xiv) the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan REMIC Regular Interests; and (xv) the proceeds of the foregoing (other than any interest earned on deposits in the Lock-Box Accounts, Cash Collateral Accounts, Escrow Accounts and any Reserve Accounts, to the extent such interest belongs to the related Borrower).  As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals may be made from certain of the above accounts for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders.

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



As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, this Certificate is transferable or exchangeable only upon surrender of this Certificate to the Certificate Registrar at its offices together with an assignment and transfer (executed by the Holder or his duly authorized attorney), subject to the requirements in

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2020 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between the Depositor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as master servicer (the “Master Servicer”), Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as special servicer (the “Special Servicer”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”), and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as certificate administrator (in such capacity, the “Certificate Administrator”), as custodian and as paying agent, evidences the issuance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class X-A, Class A-M, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class S, Class R, Class RR, Class UBR-B, Class UBR-C and Class UBR-D Certificates (the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”) and the creation of the RR Interest and the UBR-VRR Interest.  This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Certificate Administrator, will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the fourth Business Day after each Determination Date (each such date, a “Distribution Date”) an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class A-M Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  “Determination Date” is defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as the eleventh day of each month, or if such eleventh day is not a Business Day, then the next Business Day, commencing in June 2020.  Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

During each Interest Accrual Period (as defined below), interest on the Class A-M Certificates will be calculated based on a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months on the outstanding Certificate Balance hereof.

 

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the 



    A-5-5



     


    


related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  The “Interest Accrual Period” means, with respect to any Distribution Date, the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs.  Each Interest Accrual Period is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the Persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs.  Such distributions shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date, (i) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor if such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or (ii) otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register.  The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders.  If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive the final distribution with respect thereto.  If within one year after the second notice not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates.  The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds.  Subject to applicable state escheatment laws, if within two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall distribute to the Certificate Administrator all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof, and the Certificate Administrator shall thereafter hold such amounts for the benefit of such Holders until the earlier of (i) its termination as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the transfer of such amounts to a successor Certificate Administrator and (ii) the termination of the Trust Fund and distribution of such amounts to the Class R Certificateholders.  No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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 the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  Any such amounts transferred to the Certificate Administrator may be invested in Permitted Investments and all income and gain realized from investment of such funds shall accrue for its benefit.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2020 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between the Depositor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as master servicer (the “Master Servicer”), Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as special servicer (the “Special Servicer”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”), and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as certificate administrator (in such capacity, the “Certificate Administrator”), as custodian and as paying agent, evidences the issuance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class X-A, Class A-M, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class S, Class R, Class RR, Class UBR-B, Class UBR-C and Class UBR-D Certificates (the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”) and the creation of the RR Interest and the UBR-VRR Interest.  This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Certificate Administrator, will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the fourth Business Day after each Determination Date (each such date, a “Distribution Date”) an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class B Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  “Determination Date” is defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as the eleventh day of each month, or if such eleventh day is not a Business Day, then the next Business Day, commencing in June 2020.  Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

During each Interest Accrual Period (as defined below), interest on the Class B Certificates will be calculated based on a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months on the outstanding Certificate Balance hereof.

 

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the 



    A-6-5



     


    

 

related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  The “Interest Accrual Period” means, with respect to any Distribution Date, the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs.  Each Interest Accrual Period is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the Persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs.  Such distributions shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date, (i) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor if such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or (ii) otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register.  The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders.  If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive the final distribution with respect thereto.  If within one year after the second notice not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates.  The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds.  Subject to applicable state escheatment laws, if within two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall distribute to the Certificate Administrator all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof, and the Certificate Administrator shall thereafter hold such amounts for the benefit of such Holders until the earlier of (i) its termination as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the transfer of such amounts to a successor Certificate Administrator and (ii) the termination of the Trust Fund and distribution of such amounts to the Class R Certificateholders.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2020 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between the Depositor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as master servicer (the “Master Servicer”), Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as special servicer (the “Special Servicer”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”), and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as certificate administrator (in such capacity, the “Certificate Administrator”), as custodian and as paying agent, evidences the issuance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class X-A, Class A-M, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class S, Class R, Class RR, Class UBR-B, Class UBR-C and Class UBR-D Certificates (the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”) and the creation of the RR Interest and the UBR-VRR Interest.  This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Certificate Administrator, will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the fourth Business Day after each Determination Date (each such date, a “Distribution Date”) an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class C Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  “Determination Date” is defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as the eleventh day of each month, or if such eleventh day is not a Business Day, then the next Business Day, commencing in June 2020.  Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

During each Interest Accrual Period (as defined below), interest on the Class C Certificates will be calculated based on a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months on the outstanding Certificate Balance hereof.

 

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the 



    A-7-5



     


    

 

related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  The “Interest Accrual Period” means, with respect to any Distribution Date, the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs.  Each Interest Accrual Period is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the Persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs.  Such distributions shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date, (i) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor if such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or (ii) otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register.  The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders.  If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive the final distribution with respect thereto.  If within one year after the second notice not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates.  The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds.  Subject to applicable state escheatment laws, if within two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall distribute to the Certificate Administrator all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof, and the Certificate Administrator shall thereafter hold such amounts for the benefit of such Holders until the earlier of (i) its termination as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the transfer of such amounts to a successor Certificate Administrator and (ii) the termination of the Trust Fund and distribution of such amounts to the Class R Certificateholders.  No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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 the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  Any such amounts transferred to the Certificate Administrator may be invested in Permitted Investments and all income and gain realized from investment of such funds shall accrue for its benefit.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2020 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between the Depositor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as master servicer (the “Master Servicer”), Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as special servicer (the “Special Servicer”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”), and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as certificate administrator (in such capacity, the “Certificate Administrator”), as custodian and as paying agent, evidences the issuance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class X-A, Class A-M, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class S, Class R, Class RR, Class UBR-B, Class UBR-C and Class UBR-D Certificates (the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”) and the creation of the RR Interest and the UBR-VRR Interest.  This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.

 

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Certificate Administrator, will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the fourth Business Day after each Determination Date (each such date, a “Distribution Date”) an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class C Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  “Determination Date” is defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as the eleventh day of each month, or if such eleventh day is not a Business Day, then the next Business Day, commencing in June 2020.  Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

During each Interest Accrual Period (as defined below), interest on the Class C Certificates will be calculated based on a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months on the outstanding Certificate Balance hereof.

 


Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the


 






    A-8-5



     


    

 


related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  The “Interest Accrual Period” means, with respect to any Distribution Date, the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs.  Each Interest Accrual Period is assumed to consist of 30 days.

 

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the Persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs.  Such distributions shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date, (i) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor if such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or (ii) otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register.  The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.

 

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders.  If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive the final distribution with respect thereto.  If within one year after the second notice not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates.  The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds.  Subject to applicable state escheatment laws, if within two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall distribute to the Certificate Administrator all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof, and the Certificate Administrator shall thereafter hold such amounts for the benefit of such Holders until the earlier of (i) its termination as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the transfer of such amounts to a successor Certificate Administrator and (ii) the termination of the Trust Fund and distribution of such amounts to the Class R Certificateholders.  No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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 the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  Any such amounts transferred to the Certificate Administrator may be invested in Permitted Investments and all income and gain realized from investment of such funds shall accrue for its benefit.

This
certifies that [              ]
is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect
to the Class S Certificates.  The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans
and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loans secured by first liens on commercial and multifamily properties and held in trust by
the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer.  The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Subordinate
Companion Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below).  The Holder of this
Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement and is bound thereby.

 

The
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2020 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between the
Depositor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as master servicer (the “Master Servicer”),
Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as special servicer (the “Special Servicer”),
Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”), and Wells Fargo Bank,
National Association, as certificate administrator (in such capacity, the “Certificate Administrator”), as
custodian and as paying agent, evidences the issuance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class X-A, Class A-M, Class B,
Class C, Class D, Class S, Class R, Class RR, Class UBR-B, Class UBR-C and Class UBR-D Certificates (the “Certificates”;

and the creation of the RR Interest and the UBR-VRR Interest.  This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance
with, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein
shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

The
Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or
sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate
Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of
this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded
to the extent of such inconsistency.

 

Pursuant
to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Certificate
Administrator, will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the fourth Business Day after each Determination
Date (each such date, a “Distribution Date”) an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based
on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of interest then distributable,
if any, allocable to the Class S Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.  “Determination Date” is defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as the eleventh day of each
month, or if such eleventh day is not a Business Day, then the next Business Day, commencing in June 2020. 

 

All
distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the Persons in whose
names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the
last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs.  Such distributions
shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record
Date, (i) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the
United States and having appropriate facilities therefor if such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions
in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing
order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or (ii) otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth
therefor in the Certificate Register.  The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only
upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the
Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.

 

Any
funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall,
on such date, be set aside and held for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders.  If any Certificates
as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been
surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail
a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive
the final distribution with respect thereto.  If within one year after the second notice not all of such Certificates shall
have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps
to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates.  The costs and expenses
of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds.  Subject to applicable

have been surrendered for
cancellation, the Paying Agent shall distribute to the Certificate Administrator all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof,

to maintain the qualification of the Lower-Tier REMIC, the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC as a
REMIC or the qualification of the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust, or to prevent the imposition of any additional material state
or local taxes, at all times that any Certificates are outstanding; provided that such action, as evidenced by an Opinion
of Counsel (obtained at the expense of the Trust Fund), is necessary or helpful to maintain such qualification or to prevent the
imposition of any such taxes, and would not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any Certificateholder or
if applicable, any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder or (ii) to the extent necessary to comply

THIS

SERVICER, THE CERTIFICATE ADMINISTRATOR, THE CERTIFICATE REGISTRAR, THE RISK RETENTION CONSULTATION PARTIES, THE TRUSTEE OR ANY
OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES.  NEITHER THE CERTIFICATES NOR THE UNDERLYING MORTGAGE LOANS ARE INSURED OR GUARANTEED BY
ANY GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY OR INSTRUMENTALITY.

 

FOR
U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES, THIS CERTIFICATE REPRESENTS THE “RESIDUAL INTEREST” IN THREE “REAL ESTATE

REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED (THE “CODE”).  A TRANSFEREE OF THIS CERTIFICATE, BY ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, IS DEEMED
TO HAVE ACCEPTED THIS CERTIFICATE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY, AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 5.02(l) OF THE POOLING
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 SECTION 860E(e)(5)
OF THE CODE, OR AN AGENT (INCLUDING A BROKER, NOMINEE OR OTHER MIDDLEMAN) FOR SUCH DISQUALIFIED ORGANIZATION AND IS OTHERWISE
A PERMITTED TRANSFEREE, (B) 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, (C)
IT HAS HISTORICALLY PAID ITS DEBTS AS THEY HAVE COME DUE AND INTENDS TO CONTINUE TO PAY ITS DEBTS AS THEY COME DUE IN THE FUTURE,
AND (D) IT INTENDS TO PAY ANY TAXES ASSOCIATED WITH HOLDING THIS CERTIFICATE AS THEY BECOME DUE. 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 CONDITIONS, TO SATISFY ITSELF AS TO THE FINANCIAL CONDITION OF THE PROPOSED TRANSFEREE
AND EITHER TO PAY A SPECIFIED AMOUNT TO THE PROPOSED TRANSFEREE OR TRANSFER TO AN ELIGIBLE TRANSFEREE AS PROVIDED IN REGULATIONS.

This
certifies that [              ]
is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate in the Class R Certificates issued by the Trust
Fund. The Class R Certificateholder is not entitled to interest or principal distributions.  The Class R Certificateholder
will be entitled to receive the proceeds of the remaining assets of the Upper-Tier REMIC, if any, on the Final Scheduled Distribution
Date for the Certificates, after distributions in respect of any accrued but unpaid interest on the Certificates and after distributions
in reduction of principal balance have reduced the principal balances of the Certificates to zero.  It is not anticipated
that there will be any assets remaining in the Upper-Tier REMIC or Trust Fund on the Final Scheduled Distribution Date following
the distributions on the Regular Certificates.  The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool
of Mortgage Loans and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loans secured by first liens on commercial and multifamily properties and
held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer.  The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans and
the Trust Subordinate Companion Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). 
The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby.

 

The
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2020 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between the
Depositor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as master servicer (the “Master Servicer”),
Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as special servicer (the “Special Servicer”),
Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”), and Wells Fargo Bank,
National Association, as certificate administrator (in such capacity, the “Certificate Administrator”), as
custodian and as paying agent, evidences the issuance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class X-A, Class A-M, Class B,
Class C, Class D, Class S, Class R, Class RR, Class UBR-B, Class UBR-C and Class UBR-D Certificates (the “Certificates”;
the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”)
and the creation of the RR Interest and the UBR-VRR Interest.  This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance
with, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein
shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This
Class R Certificate represents the sole “residual interests” in three “real estate mortgage investment
conduits”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(2) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended.  Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with
the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local
income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.  The Certificate Administrator shall be designated
as the “partnership representative” (within the meaning of Section 6223 of the Code) for each Trust REMIC.

 

The
Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or
sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate
Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of
this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded
to the extent of such inconsistency.

 

All
distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the Persons in whose
names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the
last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs.  Such distributions
shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record
Date, (i) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the
United States and having appropriate facilities therefor if such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions
in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing
order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or (ii) otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth
therefor in the Certificate Register.  The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only
upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the
Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.

 

Any
funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall,
on such date, be set aside and held for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders.  If any Certificates
as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been
surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail
a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive
the final distribution with respect thereto.  If within one year after the second notice not all of such Certificates shall
have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps
to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates.  The costs and expenses
of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds.  Subject to applicable
state escheatment laws, if within two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation, the Paying Agent shall distribute to the Certificate Administrator all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof,
and the Certificate Administrator

shall thereafter hold such amounts for the benefit of such Holders until the earlier of (i)
its termination as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the transfer of such amounts to a successor
Certificate Administrator and (ii) the termination of the Trust Fund and distribution of such amounts to the Class R Certificateholders. 
No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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 the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  Any such amounts transferred to the Certificate
Administrator may be invested in Permitted Investments and all income and gain realized from investment of such funds shall accrue
for its benefit.

this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded
to the extent of such inconsistency.

 

Pursuant
to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Certificate
Administrator, will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the fourth Business Day after each Determination
Date (each such date, a “Distribution Date”) an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share
(based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest
then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class RR Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  “Determination Date” is defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
as the eleventh day of each month, or if such eleventh day is not a Business Day, then the next Business Day, commencing in June
2020.  Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

During
each Interest Accrual Period (as defined below), interest on the Class RR Certificates will be calculated based on a 360-day year
consisting of twelve 30-day months on the outstanding Certificate Balance hereof.

 



    A-11-4



     


    



 



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

 

All
distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the Persons in whose
names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the
last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs.  Such distributions
shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record
Date, (i) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the
United States and having appropriate facilities therefor if such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions
in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing
order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or (ii) otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth
therefor in the Certificate Register.  The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only
upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the
Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.

 

Any
funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall,
on such date, be set aside and held for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders.  If any Certificates
as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been
surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail
a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive
the final distribution with respect thereto.  If within one year after the second notice not all of such Certificates shall
have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps
to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates.  The costs and expenses
of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds.  Subject to applicable
state escheatment laws, if within two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation, the Paying Agent shall distribute to the Certificate Administrator all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof,
and the Certificate Administrator shall thereafter hold such amounts for the benefit of such Holders until the earlier of (i)
its termination as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the transfer of such amounts to a successor
Certificate Administrator and (ii) the termination of the Trust Fund and distribution of such amounts to the Class R Certificateholders. 
No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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 the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  Any such amounts transferred to the Certificate
Administrator may be


 



    A-11-5



     


    

 


invested in Permitted Investments and all income and gain realized from investment of such funds shall accrue
for its benefit.

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

as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii)

Distribution Accounts, any Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Chase Center Tower Gain-on-Sale Reserve

and any reinvestment income, as applicable; (x) a security interest in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the
Mortgaged Properties; (xi) a security interest in all insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged
Properties and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loans; (xii) the rights and remedies under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements
relating to document delivery requirements with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the representations and warranties of the related
Mortgage Loan Seller regarding its Mortgage Loans (and in the case of JPMCB, the Trust Subordinate Companion Loans); (xiii) the
Lower-Tier Regular Interests; (xiv) the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan REMIC Regular Interests; and (xv) the proceeds of the
foregoing (other than any interest earned on deposits in the Lock-Box Accounts, Cash Collateral Accounts, Escrow Accounts and
any Reserve Accounts, to the extent such interest belongs to the related Borrower).  As provided in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, withdrawals may be made from certain of the above accounts for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders.

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.

Registrar as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer.

risk of imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund or any Trust REMIC or the Grantor Trust that would be a claim against the Trust
Fund or any Trust REMIC or the Grantor Trust; provided that the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator have received
an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party requesting such amendment) to the effect that (a) such action is necessary
or desirable to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any such tax and (b) such

may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the
Certificates); (vii) to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain

ratings (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency
Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates); (ix) to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that such amendment shall not adversely

Owner or the UBR-VRR Interest Owner (if affected by such amendment) and the Holders of Certificates representing not less than
a majority of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected thereby (without regard to Certificates held
by the Depositor, any of the Depositor’s Affiliates and/or agents) and each Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder affected
thereby for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement or modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders, the RR Interest Owner, the UBR-VRR Interest
Owner or the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders; provided that no such amendment may:

 

	 

	(i)

	reduce
in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Mortgage Loans, Trust Subordinate Companion Loans
or Serviced Whole Loans which are required to be distributed on any Certificate, the RR Interest or the UBR-VRR Interest, without
the consent of the Holders of Certificates representing all of the Percentage Interests of the Class or Classes, the RR Interest
Owner or the UBR-VRR Interest Owner, as applicable, affected thereby or which are required to be distributed to any Companion
Loan Noteholders without the consent of such Companion Loan Noteholders;

	(ii)

	reduce
the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or remove

or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and confirmation of the applicable rating agencies that such
action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any securities related to
a Companion Loan, if any (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner
as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates).




 

Further,
the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, at any time and from
time to time, without the consent of the Certificateholders or, if applicable, the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders, may amend
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions (i) to such extent as shall be necessary
to maintain the qualification of the Lower-Tier REMIC, the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC as a
REMIC or the qualification of the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust, or to prevent the imposition of any additional material state
or local taxes, at all times that any Certificates are outstanding; provided that such action, as evidenced by an Opinion
of Counsel (obtained at the expense of the Trust Fund), is necessary or helpful to maintain such qualification or to prevent the
imposition of any such taxes, and would not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any Certificateholder or
if applicable, any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder or (ii) to the extent necessary to comply with the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended, the Exchange Act, Regulation AB, and/or any related regulatory actions and/or interpretations.

 

In

the aggregate Certificate Balance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-M, Class B, Class C and Class D Certificates
is reduced to zero, the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right to exchange all of the then-outstanding Certificates (other
than the Class S or Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage


 



    A-11-10



     


    

 


Loans, Trust Subordinate Companion Loans and each REO Property
remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by clause (ii) of Section 9.01(a) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
by giving written notice to all the parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement no later than 60 days prior to the anticipated
date of exchange.

 

The
respective obligations and responsibilities of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator
and the Trustee created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to the Certificates, the RR Interest and the UBR-VRR
Interest (other than the obligations of the Certificate Administrator to make certain payments and to send certain notices to
Certificateholders, the RR Interest Owner and the UBR-VRR Interest Owner as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement)
shall terminate upon payment (or provision for payment) to the Certificateholders, the RR Interest Owner, the UBR-VRR Interest
Owner and the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator
and the Master Servicer, as the case may be, required under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to be so paid on the Distribution
Date following the receipt or collection of the last payment due on any Mortgage Loan, Trust Subordinate Companion Loan and REO
Property (as applicable) included in the Trust Fund; provided that in no event shall the trust created by the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last
survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the United Kingdom, living on the
date hereof.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2020 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between the Depositor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as master servicer (the “Master Servicer”), Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as special servicer (the “Special Servicer”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”), and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as certificate administrator (in such capacity, the “Certificate Administrator”), as custodian and as paying agent, evidences the issuance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class X-A, Class A-M, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class S, Class R, Class RR, Class UBR-B, Class UBR-C and Class UBR-D Certificates (the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”) and the creation of the RR Interest and the UBR-VRR Interest.  This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.


 


The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency.


 


Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Certificate Administrator, will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the fourth Business Day after each Determination Date (each such date, a “Distribution Date”) an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class UBR-B Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  “Determination Date” is defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as the eleventh day of each month, or if such eleventh day is not a Business Day, then the next Business Day, commencing in June 2020.  Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


During each Interest Accrual Period (as defined below), interest on the Class UBR-B Certificates will be calculated based on a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months on the outstanding Certificate Balance hereof.


 


Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the 


 


 

    A-12-5



     


    

 


related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  The “Interest Accrual Period” means, with respect to any Distribution Date, the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs.  Each Interest Accrual Period is assumed to consist of 30 days.


 


All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the Persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs.  Such distributions shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date, (i) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor if such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or (ii) otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register.  The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.


 


Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders.  If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive the final distribution with respect thereto.  If within one year after the second notice not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates.  The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds.  Subject to applicable state escheatment laws, if within two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall distribute to the Certificate Administrator all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof, and the Certificate Administrator shall thereafter hold such amounts for the benefit of such Holders until the earlier of (i) its termination as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the transfer of such amounts to a successor Certificate Administrator and (ii) the termination of the Trust Fund and distribution of such amounts to the Class R Certificateholders.  No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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 the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  Any such amounts transferred to the Certificate Administrator may be invested in Permitted Investments and all income and gain realized from investment of such funds shall accrue for its benefit.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2020 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between the Depositor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as master servicer (the “Master Servicer”), Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as special servicer (the “Special Servicer”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”), and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as certificate administrator (in such capacity, the “Certificate Administrator”), as custodian and as paying agent, evidences the issuance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class X-A, Class A-M, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class S, Class R, Class RR, Class UBR-B, Class UBR-C and Class UBR-D Certificates (the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”) and the creation of the RR Interest and the UBR-VRR Interest.  This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.


 


The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency.


 


Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Certificate Administrator, will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the fourth Business Day after each Determination Date (each such date, a “Distribution Date”) an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class UBR-C Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  “Determination Date” is defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as the eleventh day of each month, or if such eleventh day is not a Business Day, then the next Business Day, commencing in June 2020.  Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


During each Interest Accrual Period (as defined below), interest on the Class UBR-C Certificates will be calculated based on a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months on the outstanding Certificate Balance hereof.


 


Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the 


 


 

    A-13-5



     


    

 


related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  The “Interest Accrual Period” means, with respect to any Distribution Date, the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs.  Each Interest Accrual Period is assumed to consist of 30 days.


 


All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the Persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs.  Such distributions shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date, (i) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor if such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or (ii) otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register.  The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.


 


Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders.  If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive the final distribution with respect thereto.  If within one year after the second notice not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates.  The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds.  Subject to applicable state escheatment laws, if within two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall distribute to the Certificate Administrator all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof, and the Certificate Administrator shall thereafter hold such amounts for the benefit of such Holders until the earlier of (i) its termination as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the transfer of such amounts to a successor Certificate Administrator and (ii) the termination of the Trust Fund and distribution of such amounts to the Class R Certificateholders.  No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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 the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  Any such amounts transferred to the Certificate Administrator may be invested in Permitted Investments and all income and gain realized from investment of such funds shall accrue for its benefit.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2020 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between the Depositor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as master servicer (the “Master Servicer”), Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as special servicer (the “Special Servicer”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”), and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as certificate administrator (in such capacity, the “Certificate Administrator”), as custodian and as paying agent, evidences the issuance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class X-A, Class A-M, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class S, Class R, Class RR, Class UBR-B, Class UBR-C and Class UBR-D Certificates (the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”) and the creation of the RR Interest and the UBR-VRR Interest.  This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.


 


The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency.


 


Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Certificate Administrator, will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the fourth Business Day after each Determination Date (each such date, a “Distribution Date”) an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class UBR-D Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  “Determination Date” is defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as the eleventh day of each month, or if such eleventh day is not a Business Day, then the next Business Day, commencing in June 2020.  Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


During each Interest Accrual Period (as defined below), interest on the Class UBR-D Certificates will be calculated based on a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months on the outstanding Certificate Balance hereof.





 

    A-14-5



     


    

 


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


 


All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the Persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs.  Such distributions shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date, (i) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor if such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or (ii) otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register.  The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.


 


Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders.  If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive the final distribution with respect thereto.  If within one year after the second notice not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates.  The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds.  Subject to applicable state escheatment laws, if within two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall distribute to the Certificate Administrator all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof, and the Certificate Administrator shall thereafter hold such amounts for the benefit of such Holders until the earlier of (i) its termination as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the transfer of such amounts to a successor Certificate Administrator and (ii) the termination of the Trust Fund and distribution of such amounts to the Class R Certificateholders.  No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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 the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  Any such amounts transferred to the Certificate Administrator may be

invested in Permitted Investments and all income and gain realized from investment of such funds shall accrue for its benefit.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals may be made from certain of the above accounts for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders.


 


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


 


As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, this Certificate is transferable or exchangeable only upon surrender of this Certificate to the Certificate Registrar at its offices together with an assignment and transfer (executed by the Holder or his duly authorized attorney), subject to the requirements in

In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the transferor shall reimburse the Trust Fund for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer.  The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer.

That he/she is a                                       of                                       (the “Purchaser”), a                                       duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of                                       on behalf of which he/she makes this affidavit.

 

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

 

3.             That the Purchaser of the Benchmark 2020-IG2 Mortgage Trust Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2020-IG2, Class R (the “Class R Certificate”) is a Permitted Transferee (as defined in Article I of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2020 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”)), between Deutsche Mortgage & Asset Receiving Corporation, as depositor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as master servicer and special servicer, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee, as certificate administrator, as paying agent and as custodian, or is acquiring the Class R Certificate for the account of, or as agent (including as a broker, nominee, or other middleman) for, a Permitted Transferee and has received from such person or entity an affidavit substantially in the form of this affidavit.

 

4.             That the Purchaser historically has paid its debts as they have come due 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 Certificate as they become due.

 

5.             That the Purchaser understands that it may incur tax liabilities with respect to the Class R Certificate in excess of any cash flow generated by the Class R Certificate.

 

6.             That the Purchaser will not transfer the Class R Certificate to any person or entity from which the Purchaser has not received an affidavit substantially in the form of this affidavit or as to which the Purchaser has actual knowledge that the requirements set forth in paragraph 3, paragraph 4 or paragraph 7 hereof are not satisfied or that the Purchaser has reason to know does not satisfy the requirements set forth in paragraph 4 hereof.

 

7.             That the Purchaser is not a Disqualified Non-U.S. Tax Person and is not purchasing the Class R Certificate for the account of, or as an agent (including as a broker,

8.             That the Purchaser agrees to such amendments of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as may be required to further effectuate the restrictions on transfer of the Class R Certificate to a “disqualified organization,” an agent thereof, or a person that does not satisfy the requirements of paragraph 4, paragraph 7 and paragraph 11 hereof.

 

9.             That the Purchaser, pursuant to Section 4.04 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, agrees to the designation of the Certificate Administrator as the “partnership representative” (within the meaning of Code Section 6223) of each Trust REMIC.

 

10.           The Purchaser agrees to be bound by and to abide by the provisions of Section 5.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement concerning registration of the transfer and exchange of the Class R Certificate.

 

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

 

12.           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 Certificate; and

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

 



    C-1-2


     


    

 

(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 U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), in a transaction that satisfies the requirements of Section 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i), (ii) and (iii) and Section 1.860E-1(c)(5) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations; and

 

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

 

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

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Purchaser has caused this instrument to be executed on its behalf by its                                             this          day of                        , 20     .

Re:      Transfer of Benchmark 2020-IG2 Mortgage Trust Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2020-IG2: Class [    ]

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

This letter is delivered pursuant to Section 5.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of May 1, 2020 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), entered into between Deutsche Mortgage & Asset Receiving Corporation, as depositor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as master servicer and special servicer, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee, certificate administrator, paying agent and custodian, on behalf of the holders of Benchmark 2020-IG2 Mortgage Trust Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2020-IG2 (the “Certificates”) with respect to the transfer by [__________] (the “Seller”) to the undersigned (the “Purchaser”) of [$_____ aggregate Certificate Balance][_____% Percentage Interest] of Class [_____] Certificates, in certificated fully registered form (such registered interest, the “Certificate”).  Terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

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

 

       [For Institutional Accredited Investors only]  1. The Purchaser is an institutional “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 (a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or an entity in which all of the equity owners are such accredited investors (an “Institutional Accredited Investor”), and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Certificate, and the Purchaser and any

 

 



    D-1-1


     


    

 

accounts for which the Purchaser is acting are each able to bear the economic risk of the investment. The Purchaser is acquiring the Certificate for its own account or for one or more accounts (each of which is an Institutional Accredited Investor) as to each of which the Purchaser exercises sole investment discretion.  The Purchaser hereby undertakes to reimburse the Trust for any costs incurred by it in connection with this transfer.

 

       [For Qualified Institutional Buyers only]  1. 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 reoffer, resale, pledge or other transfer to (i) “qualified institutional buyers” within the meaning of, and in transactions complying with, Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act, (ii) entities qualifying as “accredited investors” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, or any entity in which all of the equity owners are such accredited investors, or (iii) pursuant to any other exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, subject in the case of this clause (iii) to (a) the receipt by the Certificate Registrar of a letter substantially in the form hereof, (b) the receipt by the Certificate Registrar of an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Certificate Registrar that such reoffer, resale, pledge or transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act, (c) the receipt by the Certificate Registrar of such other evidence acceptable to the Certificate Registrar that such reoffer, resale, pledge or transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act and other applicable laws (including applicable state and foreign securities laws), and (d) a written undertaking to reimburse the Trust for any costs incurred by it in connection with the proposed transfer. It understands that the Certificate (and any subsequent Certificate) has not been registered under the Securities Act, by reason of a specified exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the Purchaser’s investment intent (or intent to resell to only certain investors in certain exempted transactions) as expressed herein.




 

	
3.

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




 

	
4.

	
The Purchaser has reviewed the [Offering Circular, dated May 14, 2020, relating to [certain of the] the Certificates (the “Offering Circular”)] [the Loan-Specific Offering Circular, dated May 13, 2020 relating to certain of the Certificates (the “Loan-Specific 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 [and the Loan-Specific Offering Circular].




 

 



    D-1-2


     


    

 

	
5.

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




 

	
6.

	
The Purchaser will not sell or otherwise transfer any portion of the Certificate, except in compliance with Section 5.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.




 

	
7.

	
Check one of the following:




 

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


 

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


 

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

(1) Debt Service
Coverage Ratios are updated periodically as new NOI figures become available from borrowers on an asset level. In all cases the
most current DSCR provided by the Servicer is used. To the extent that no DSCR is provided by the Servicer, information from the
offering document is used. The Trustee makes no representations as to the accuracy of the data provided by the borrower for this
calculation.


	 
	 	 	 
	 	(2) Anticipated
                     Remaining Term and WAM are each calculated based upon the term from the current month to the earlier of the
                     Anticipated Repayment Date, if applicable, and the Maturity Date. 



	 
	 	 	 
	 	(3) Data
                     in this table was calculated by allocating pro-rata the current loan information to the properties based
                     upon the Cut-Off Date balance of each property as disclosed in the offering document.



	 
	 	 	 
	 	The Scheduled Balance Totals reflect
    the aggregate balances of all pooled loans as reported in the CREFC Loan Periodic Update File. To the extent that the Scheduled
    Balance Total figure for the “State” and “Property” stratification tables is not equal to the sum
    of the scheduled balance figures for each state or property, the difference is explained by loans that have been modified
    into a split loan structure. The “State” and “Property” stratification tables do not include the balance
    of the subordinate note (sometimes called the B-piece or a “hope note”) of a loan that has been modified into
    a split-loan structure. Rather, the scheduled balance for each state or property only reflects the balance of the senior note
    (sometimes called the A-piece) of a loan that has been modified into a split-loan structure.	 
	 	 	 
	 	Note: There are no Hyper-Amortization
    Loans included in the Mortgage Pool.

                                         The Most Recent Fiscal NOI and Most Recent NOI fields correspond to the financial data
                                         reported by the Master Servicer. An NOI of 0.00 means the Master Servicer did not report
                                         NOI figures in their loan level reporting.
