The Depositor intends to sell Certificates, to be issued hereunder in multiple Classes, which in the aggregate will evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust to be created hereunder.


 


REMIC I


 


As provided herein, the Tax Administrator will elect to treat the segregated pool of assets consisting of the Mortgage Loans (exclusive of certain amounts payable thereon) and certain other assets as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes, and such segregated pool of assets will be designated as “REMIC I”. The Class R Certificates will evidence ownership of (among other things) the sole class of “residual interests” in REMIC I for purposes of the REMIC Provisions. The Latest Possible Maturity Date for each REMIC I Regular Interest is the date that is the Rated Final Distribution Date. None of the REMIC I Regular Interests will be certificated.


 


REMIC II


 


As provided herein, the Tax Administrator will elect to treat the segregated pool of assets consisting of the REMIC I Regular Interests as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes, and such segregated pool of assets will be designated as “REMIC II”. The Class R Certificates will evidence ownership of (among other things) the sole class of “residual interests” in REMIC II for purposes of the REMIC Provisions. The following table sets forth the designation, the REMIC II Remittance Rate and the initial Uncertificated Principal Balance for each of the REMIC II Regular Interests. The Latest Possible Maturity Date for each REMIC II Regular Interest is the date that is the Rated Final Distribution Date. None of the REMIC II Regular Interests will be certificated.

REMIC III


 


As provided herein, the Tax Administrator will elect to treat the segregated pool of assets consisting of the REMIC II Regular Interests as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes, and such segregated pool of assets will be designated as “REMIC III”. The Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class D, Class E, Class F and Class G Certificates and the Class A-S, Class B, Class C Regular Interests will evidence ownership of a class of “regular interests” in REMIC III and the Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-C, Class X-D and Class X-E Certificates will evidence ownership of seven (7), three (3), one (1), one (1), one (1) and one (1) class(es) of “regular interests” in REMIC III, respectively, all as described herein. The Class A-S Certificates and Class A-S-PEX Component will each evidence ownership of a specified portion from time to time of the Class A-S Regular Interest. The Class B Certificates and Class B PEX Component will each evidence ownership of a specified portion from time to time of the Class B Regular Interest. The Class C Certificates and Class C PEX Component will each evidence ownership of a specified portion from time to time of the Class C Regular Interest. The Class R Certificates will evidence ownership of (among other things) the sole class of “residual interests” in REMIC III for purposes of the REMIC Provisions. The Latest Possible Maturity Date for each Class of Regular Certificates (other than the Class X-A, X-B, X-C, X-D and X-E Certificates), the Class A-S, Class B, Class C Regular Interests and the REMIC III Components is the date that is the Rated Final Distribution Date.

failure by any Mortgage Loan Seller to comply with the document delivery requirements of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.


 


(e)           The parties hereto acknowledge that, except in the case of a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan, each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement requires the related Mortgage Loan Seller, or its designee, to itself submit, or cause to be submitted, (i) each assignment of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of Leases in favor of the Trustee referred to in clause (iv) of the definition of “Mortgage File” and (ii) each assignment of UCC Financing Statement in favor of the Trustee referred to in clause (ix)(B) of the definition of “Mortgage File”, for recording or filing to the extent that they are related to Mortgage Loans for which it is the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller.

The parties hereto further acknowledge that, except in the case of a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan, each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement requires the related Mortgage Loan Seller, if any such document or instrument is lost or returned unrecorded or unfiled, as the case may be, because of a defect therein, to prepare or cause to be prepared promptly a substitute therefor or cure such defect, as the case may be, and thereafter cause the same to be duly recorded or filed, as appropriate.


 


(f)            In connection with the Depositor’s assignment pursuant to Section 2.01(b) above, the parties acknowledge that each Mortgage Loan Seller is contractually obligated, at such Mortgage Loan Seller’s expense, pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, to deliver to and deposit with, or cause to be delivered to and deposited with, the Master Servicer, on or before the Closing Date: (i) a copy of the Mortgage File for each Original Mortgage Loan (except that copies of instruments of assignment shall be forwarded by the Custodian upon request when the originals are returned to the Custodian in accordance with Section 2.01(e) above); (ii) originals or copies of all financial statements, appraisals, environmental reports, engineering reports, transaction screens, seismic assessment reports, leases, rent rolls, Insurance Policies and certificates, major space leases, legal opinions and tenant estoppels and any other relevant documents relating to the origination and servicing of any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination that are reasonably necessary for the ongoing administration and/or servicing of the applicable Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination in the possession or under the control of such Mortgage Loan Seller that relate to the Original Mortgage Loans transferred by it to the Depositor and, to the extent that any original documents or copies, as applicable, of the following documents are not required to be a part of a Mortgage File for any such Original Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, originals or copies of

all documents, certificates and opinions in the possession or under the control of such Mortgage Loan Seller that were delivered by or on behalf of the related Borrowers in connection with the origination of such Original Mortgage Loans (provided that such Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be required to deliver any attorney-client privileged communication, draft documents or any documents or materials prepared by it or its Affiliates for internal uses, including without limitation, credit committee briefs or memoranda and other internal approval documents); and (iii) all unapplied Reserve Funds and Escrow Payments in the possession or under the control of such Mortgage Loan Seller that relate to the Original Mortgage Loans transferred by such Mortgage Loan Seller to the Depositor. The Master Servicer (or a Sub-Servicer on its behalf) shall hold all such documents, records and funds that it so receives on behalf of the Trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders (and the Trustee as holder of the Class A-S, Class B and Class C Regular Interests) and, insofar as they also relate to any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, on behalf of and for the benefit of any and all related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s).


 


(g)           With respect to the Mortgage Loans identified as Loan Nos. 11, 13 and 37 on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, with respect to which each Mortgaged Property is subject to a franchise agreement with a related comfort letter in favor of the respective Mortgage Loan Seller, the related Mortgage Loan Seller or its agent will be required to, within 60 days of the Closing Date (or any shorter period if required by the applicable comfort letter), notify each related franchisor that each such Mortgage Loan has been transferred to the Trust and request a replacement comfort letter (or any such new document or acknowledgement as may be contemplated under the existing comfort letter) with respect to each related Mortgaged Property, and deliver to the Master Servicer a copy of each such notice and request and the existing comfort letters, and the Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts in accordance with the Servicing Standard to acquire such replacement comfort letter, if necessary (or to acquire any such new document or acknowledgement as may be contemplated under the existing comfort letter). If the Master Servicer is unable to acquire any such replacement comfort letter (or new document or acknowledgement, as applicable) within 120 days of the Closing Date, the Master Servicer will notify the related Mortgage Loan Seller that no such replacement comfort letter has been received.


 


(h)            Reserved.


 


Section 2.02      Acceptance of Mortgage Loans by Trustee. (a) Subject to the other provisions in this Section 2.02, the Trustee, by its execution and delivery of this Agreement, hereby accepts receipt on behalf of the Trust, through the Custodian on its behalf, of (i) the Original Mortgage Loans and all documents delivered to the Custodian that constitute portions of the related Mortgage Files and (ii) all other assets delivered to the Custodian and included in the Trust Fund, in good faith and without notice of any adverse claim.

To the extent that the Mortgage File relates to a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Loan Combination, the Custodian shall also hold


 




  





-121-











  






 


such Mortgage File in trust for the use and benefit of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s). The Master Servicer acknowledges receipt of all of the original Letters of Credit relating to the Mortgage Loans or Serviced Loan Combination delivered to it (copies of which are part of the Mortgage File) and agrees to hold such Letters of Credit in trust for the benefit of the Trustee. In connection with the foregoing, the Custodian hereby certifies to each of the other parties hereto, each Mortgage Loan Seller and each Underwriter that, as to each Mortgage Loan, except as specifically identified in the Schedule of Exceptions to Mortgage File Delivery attached hereto as Schedule II, (i) all documents specified in clause (i) of the definition of “Mortgage File” are in its possession, and (ii) the original Mortgage Note (or, if accompanied by a lost note affidavit and indemnity, the copy of such Mortgage Note) received by it with respect to such Mortgage Loan has been reviewed by it and (A) appears regular on its face (handwritten additions, changes or corrections shall not constitute irregularities if initialed by the Borrower), (B) appears to have been executed (where appropriate) and (C) purports to relate to such Mortgage Loan. The Custodian may rely on the purported due execution and genuineness of any such document and on the purported genuineness of any signature thereon.


 


(b)           On or about the 75th day following the Closing Date, the Custodian shall review the documents delivered to it with respect to each Original Mortgage Loan, and the Custodian shall, subject to Sections 1.04, 2.02(c) and 2.02(d), certify in writing (and, if any exceptions are noted or if the recordation/filing contemplated by Section 2.01(e) has not been completed (based solely on receipt by the Custodian of the particular documents showing evidence of the recordation/filing), the Custodian shall deliver updates to any exception list attached to such certification in accordance with the penultimate sentence of this paragraph) to each of the other parties hereto (substantially in the form of Exhibit M), the Mortgage Loan Sellers, the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) (in each case, provided that the Custodian has received notice of the identity of and notice address information for such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder), the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder and the Subordinate Class Representative that, as to each Original Mortgage Loan then subject to this Agreement (except as specifically identified in any exception report annexed to such certification): (i) the original Mortgage Note specified in clause (i) of the definition of “Mortgage File” and all allonges thereto, if any (or a copy of such Mortgage Note, together with a lost note affidavit and indemnity), the original or copy of documents specified in clauses (ii), (iii), (iv) (except with respect to a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan), (viii) (without regard to the verification of the effective date with respect to a title policy or the date of funding with respect to a title commitment), (x) (if the Mortgage Loan Schedule specifies that a material portion of the interest of the Borrower in the related Mortgaged Property consists of a leasehold interest) and (xx) (if the Mortgage Loan Schedule specifies that the Mortgaged Property type is a hospitality property) of the definition of “Mortgage File” have been received by it; (ii) if such report is due more than 180 days after the Closing Date, the recordation/filing contemplated by Section 2.01(e) has been completed (based solely on receipt by the Custodian of the particular recorded/filed documents or an appropriate receipt of recording/filing therefor); (iii) all documents received by it with respect to such Mortgage Loan have been reviewed by it and (A) appear regular on their face (handwritten additions, changes or corrections shall not constitute irregularities if initialed by the Borrower), (B) appear to have been executed and (C) purport to relate to such Mortgage Loan; and (iv) based on the examinations referred to in Section 2.02(a) above and this Section 2.02(b) and only as to the foregoing documents, the information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule with respect to the items specified in


 




  





-122-











  






 


clause (iv)(A) and clause (vi) of the definition of “Mortgage Loan Schedule” accurately reflects the information set forth in the related Mortgage File. Every ninety (90) days after such 75th day following the Closing Date, until the earlier of (i) the date on which such exceptions are eliminated and such recordation/filing has been completed, and (ii) the date on which all the affected Mortgage Loans are removed from the Trust Fund, the Custodian shall deliver electronically to the Mortgage Loan Sellers, the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s), the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder and the Subordinate Class Representative an update to the exception report annexed to the certification described above substantially in the form of Exhibit M, which update shall report any remaining outstanding exceptions with respect to each Original Mortgage Loan. Such delivery shall be deemed to constitute a certification of the substance of the matters set forth in the form of such Exhibit M (except as set forth in such exception report). The Master Servicer shall provide the contact name, mailing address and e-mail address of any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder to the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator to the extent not previously provided thereto, provided that the Master Servicer has such information. The contact name, mailing address and e-mail address of each initial Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder is set forth on Schedule IX hereto.


 


(c)           If a Responsible Repurchase Party substitutes a Replacement Mortgage Loan for any Defective Mortgage Loan as contemplated by Section 2.03, the Custodian shall review the documents delivered to it with respect to such Replacement Mortgage Loan, and the Custodian shall deliver a certification comparable to that described in the prior paragraph, in respect of such Replacement Mortgage Loan, on or about the 30th day following the related date of substitution (and, if any exceptions are noted, every ninety (90) days thereafter until the earlier of (i) the date on which such exceptions are eliminated and all related recording/filing has been completed, and (ii) the date on which such Replacement Mortgage Loan is removed from the Trust Fund).


 


With respect to the documents described in clause (iii) of the definition of “Mortgage File”, absent actual knowledge to the contrary, the Custodian may assume, for purposes of the certification(s) delivered in this Section 2.02(c) or to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.02(b), that the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan includes a separate Assignment of Leases.


 


With respect to the documents described in clause (ix) of the definition of “Mortgage File”, absent actual knowledge to the contrary or copies of UCC Financing Statements delivered to the Custodian as part of the Mortgage File indicating otherwise, the Custodian may assume, for purposes of the certification(s) to be delivered pursuant to this Section 2.02(c), that the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan should include a copy of one state-level UCC Financing Statement filed in the state of incorporation or organization of the related Borrower for each Mortgaged Property (or with respect to any Mortgage Loan that has two or more Borrowers, for each related Borrower). To the extent appropriate under applicable law, the UCC Financing Statements to be assigned to the Trustee will be delivered on the new national forms and in recordable form and will be filed in the state of incorporation or organization as so indicated on the documents provided.

(d)           None of the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, any Sub-Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trust Advisor or the Custodian is under any duty or obligation to (i) determine whether any of the documents specified in clauses (iii), (iv)(B), (v), (vi), (vii), (ix) and (xi) through (xviii) of the definition of “Mortgage File” exist or are required to be delivered by the Mortgage Loan Sellers in respect of any Mortgage Loan unless such item(s) are specified on the related Mortgage File Checklist, or (ii) inspect, review or examine any of the documents, instruments, certificates or other papers relating to the Mortgage Loans delivered to it to determine that the same are valid, legal, effective, genuine, binding, enforceable, sufficient or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face. Furthermore, except as expressly provided in Section 2.01(e), none of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, any Sub-Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trust Advisor or the Custodian shall have any responsibility for determining whether the text of any assignment or endorsement is in proper or recordable form, whether the requisite recording of any document is in accordance with the requirements of any applicable jurisdiction, or whether a blanket assignment is permitted in any applicable jurisdiction.


 


(e)           In performing the reviews contemplated by subsections (a) and (b) above, the Custodian may conclusively rely on the related Mortgage Loan Seller as to the purported genuineness of any such document and any signature thereon. It is understood that the scope of the Custodian’s review of the Mortgage Files is limited solely to confirming that the documents specified in clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) (except with respect to a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan), (viii) (without regard to the verification of the effective date with respect to a title policy or the date of funding with respect to a title commitment), (x) (if the Mortgage Loan Schedule specifies that a material portion of the interest of the Borrower in the related Mortgaged Property consists of a leasehold interest) and (xx) (if the Mortgage Loan Schedule specifies that the Mortgaged Property type is a hospitality property) of the definition of “Mortgage File” have been received by it and such additional information as will be necessary for delivering the certifications required by subsections (a) and (b) above.


 


Section 2.03      Certain Repurchases and Substitutions of Mortgage Loans by the Responsible Repurchase Parties. (a) If, in the process of reviewing the documents delivered or caused to be delivered by the Mortgage Loan Sellers as contemplated by Section 2.01(d), the Custodian discovers that any document required to have been delivered as contemplated by Section 2.01(d) has not been so delivered, or discovers that any of the documents that were delivered has not been properly executed, contains information that does not conform in any material respect with the corresponding information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, or is defective on its face (each, including, without limitation, that a document is missing, a “Document Defect”), or if, at any other time, the Custodian or any other party hereto discovers (without implying that any such party has a duty to make or attempt to make such discovery) a Document Defect in respect of any Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such Document Defect shall promptly so notify each of the other parties hereto. If any party hereto discovers (without implying that any such party has a duty to make or attempt to make such discovery) or receives notice of a breach of any representation or warranty relating to any Mortgage Loan set forth in or made pursuant to Section 4(b) or 4(g) of any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (a “Breach”), such party shall promptly so notify each of the other parties hereto. Upon the Trustee’s discovery or receipt of notice that a Document Defect or Breach exists with respect to any

Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall notify the Subordinate Class Representative, the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the related Responsible Repurchase Party and the Rating Agencies.


 


(b)           Promptly upon its actual knowledge of any Material Document Defect or Material Breach with respect to any Mortgage Loan or its receipt of notice from the Trustee or any other party to this Agreement of a Material Document Defect or Material Breach the Master Servicer, if relating to a Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan, or the Special Servicer, if relating to a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, shall notify the related Responsible Repurchase Party in writing (in each case, with a copy to the Depositor) of such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, and direct such Responsible Repurchase Party that it must, not later than (1) ninety (90) days from discovery of the subject Material Document Defect or Material Breach by the Responsible Repurchase Party, or (2) ninety (90) days from the receipt by such Responsible Repurchase Party of such notice (or, if (x) such Material Breach or Material Document Defect, as the case may be, relates to whether such Mortgage Loan is or, as of the Closing Date (or, in the case of a Replacement Mortgage Loan, as of the related date of substitution), was a Qualified Mortgage, and (y) such Responsible Repurchase Party discovered or received prompt written notice of the relation specified in clause (x), then (z) within ninety (90) days after any earlier discovery by the Responsible Repurchase Party or any party to this Agreement of such Material Breach or Material Document Defect, as the case may be) (such 90-day period, in any case, the “Initial Resolution Period”), correct or cure such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, in all material respects, or repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan (as, if and to the extent required by the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement), at the applicable Purchase Price; provided that if such Responsible Repurchase Party certifies to the Trustee in writing (i) that such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, does not relate to whether the affected Mortgage Loan is or, as of the Closing Date (or, in the case of a Replacement Mortgage Loan, as of the related date of substitution), was a Qualified Mortgage, (ii) that such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, is capable of being cured but not within the applicable Initial Resolution Period, (iii) that such Responsible Repurchase Party has commenced and is diligently proceeding with the cure of such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, during the applicable Initial Resolution Period, (iv) in the case of a Material Document Defect, that (x) the related Mortgage Loan is not, at the end of the Initial Resolution Period, then a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and a Servicing Transfer Event has not occurred as a result of a monetary default or as described in clause (e), (f) or (g) of the definition of “Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan” in this Agreement and (y) the Material Document Defect was not identified in a certification delivered to the Mortgage Loan Seller by the Custodian pursuant to Section 2.02 not less than ninety (90) days prior to the delivery of the notice of such Material Document Defect, and (v) that such Responsible Repurchase Party anticipates that such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, will be cured within an additional 90-day period (such additional 90-day period, the “Resolution Extension Period”) (a copy of which certification shall be delivered by the Trustee to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Subordinate Class Representative, the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder and the Rating Agencies), then such Responsible Repurchase Party shall have an additional period equal to the Resolution Extension Period to complete such correction or cure (or, upon failure to complete such correction or cure, for the applicable Responsible Repurchase

Party to repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan); and provided, further, however, that, in lieu of repurchasing the affected Mortgage Loan as contemplated above (but, in any event, no later than such repurchase would have to have been completed), the applicable Responsible Repurchase Party shall be permitted, during the three-month period commencing on the Startup Day for the REMIC Pool that holds the affected Mortgage Loan (or during the two-year period commencing on such Startup Day if the affected Mortgage Loan is a “defective obligation” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(4)(B)(ii) of the Code and Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)), to replace the affected Mortgage Loan with one or more Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loans and to pay a cash amount equal to the applicable Substitution Shortfall Amount, subject to any other applicable terms and conditions of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Agreement. The parties hereto agree that delivery by the Custodian of a certification or schedule of exceptions to a Mortgage Loan Seller or Responsible Repurchase Party shall not in and of itself constitute delivery of notice of any Material Document Defect or knowledge of such Mortgage Loan Seller or Responsible Repurchase Party of any Material Document Defect. If any Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased or replaced as contemplated by this Section 2.03, the Master Servicer shall designate the Collection Account as the account to which funds in the amount of the applicable Purchase Price or Substitution Shortfall Amount (as the case may be) are to be wired, and the Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator when such deposit is made. Any such repurchase or replacement of a Mortgage Loan shall be on a whole loan, servicing released basis. Notwithstanding this Section 2.03(b), the absence from the Mortgage File, (i) on the Closing Date of the Mortgage Note (or a lost note affidavit and indemnity with a copy of the Mortgage Note) and (ii) by the first anniversary of the Closing Date, of originals or copies of any other Specially Designated Mortgage Loan Document (without the presence of any factor that reasonably mitigates such absence, non-conformity or irregularity) shall (if the absence results from the related Mortgage Loan Seller’s failure to deliver such Specially Designated Mortgage Loan Document in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement) be conclusively presumed to be a Material Document Defect and shall obligate the party discovering such absence to give the Trustee prompt notice, whereupon the Trustee shall notify the applicable Responsible Repurchase Party (with a copy to the Depositor) to cure such Material Document Defect, or, failing that, repurchase or replace the related Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, all in accordance with the procedures set forth, and to the extent permitted, herein and in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. Notwithstanding this Section 2.03(b), in the event of any Breach described in the second paragraph of Section 5(d) of any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the remedy described in such second paragraph of such Section 5(d) shall constitute the sole remedy available to the Trustee and any other affected Person with respect to such Breach. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian shall have any obligation to review or approve any condition or requirement contemplated hereunder in connection with any repurchase, removal, addition, or substitution.


 


The remedies provided for in this Section 2.03(b) with respect to any Material Document Defect or Material Breach with respect to any Mortgage Loan shall apply to the related REO Property.


 


If (x) a Defective Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased or replaced as described above, (y) such Defective Mortgage Loan is part of a Cross-Collateralized Group and (z) the


 




  





-126-











  






 


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


 


(A)         the related Responsible Repurchase Party (at its expense) delivers or causes to be delivered to the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such Responsible Repurchase Party’s repurchase of only those Mortgage Loans as to which a Material Document Defect or Material Breach has actually occurred without regard to the provisions of this paragraph (the “Affected Loan(s)”) and the operation of the remaining provisions of this Section 2.03(b) will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event or any Adverse Grantor Trust Event hereunder; and


 


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


 


(I)       the debt service coverage ratio for such Other Crossed Loan(s) (excluding the Affected Loan(s)) for the four calendar quarters immediately preceding the repurchase or replacement is not less than the least of (A) 0.10x below the debt service coverage ratio for the Cross-Collateralized Group (including the Affected Loan(s)) set forth in Annex A-1 to the Prospectus Supplement, (B) the debt service coverage ratio for the Cross-Collateralized Group (including the Affected Loan(s)) for the four preceding calendar quarters preceding the repurchase or replacement and (C) 1.25x;


 


(II)      the loan-to-value ratio for the Other Crossed Loans is not greater than the greatest of (A) the loan-to-value ratio, expressed as a whole number percentage (taken to one decimal place), for the Cross-Collateralized Group (including the Affected Loan(s)) set forth in Annex A-1 to the Prospectus Supplement plus 10%, (B) the loan-to-value ratio, expressed as a whole number percentage (taken to one decimal place), for the Cross-Collateralized Group (including the Affected Loan(s)) at the time of repurchase or replacement and (C) 75%; and


 


(III)     the exercise of remedies against the Primary Collateral of any Mortgage Loan in the Cross-Collateralized Group shall not impair the ability to exercise remedies against the Primary Collateral of the other Mortgage Loans in the Cross-Collateralized Group.

The determination of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, as to whether the conditions set forth above have been satisfied shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, will be entitled to cause to be delivered, or direct the related Responsible Repurchase Party to cause to be delivered, to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, an Appraisal of any or all of the related Mortgaged Properties for purposes of determining whether the condition set forth in clause (II) above has been satisfied, in each case at the expense of the related Responsible Repurchase Party if the scope and cost of the Appraisal is approved by the related Responsible Repurchase Party and the Subordinate Class Representative (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld in each case).


 


With respect to any Defective Mortgage Loan that forms a part of a Cross-Collateralized Group and as to which the conditions described in the preceding paragraph are satisfied, such that the Trust Fund will continue to hold the Other Crossed Loans, the related Responsible Repurchase Party and the Trustee, as successor to the Depositor, are bound by an agreement (set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement) to forbear from enforcing any remedies against the other’s Primary Collateral but each is permitted to exercise remedies against the Primary Collateral securing its respective Mortgage Loans, including with respect to the Trustee, the Primary Collateral securing the Affected Loan(s) still held by the Trustee. If the exercise of remedies by one such party would impair the ability of the other such party to exercise its remedies with respect to the Primary Collateral securing the Affected Loan or the Other Crossed Loans, as the case may be, held by the other such party, then both parties have agreed to forbear from exercising such remedies unless and until the Mortgage Loan Documents evidencing and securing the relevant Mortgage Loans can be modified in a manner that complies with the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to remove the threat of impairment as a result of the exercise of remedies. Any reserve or other cash collateral or Letters of Credit securing any of the Mortgage Loans that form a Cross-Collateralized Group shall be allocated between such Mortgage Loans in accordance with the Mortgage Loan Documents, or otherwise on a pro rata basis based upon their outstanding Stated Principal Balances. All other terms of the Mortgage Loans shall remain in full force and effect, without any modification thereof. The provisions of this paragraph shall be binding on all future holders of each Mortgage Loan that forms part of a Cross-Collateralized Group.


 


To the extent necessary and appropriate, the Trustee shall execute (or, subject to Section 3.01(b) and Section 3.10, provide the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, with a limited power of attorney that enables the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to execute) the modification of the Mortgage Loan Documents that complies with the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to remove the threat of impairment of the ability of the Responsible Repurchase Party or the Trust Fund to exercise its remedies with respect to the Primary Collateral securing the Mortgage Loan(s) held by such party resulting from the exercise of remedies by the other such party; provided that the Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for any negligence with respect to, or any willful misuse of, any such power of attorney by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable. The Master Servicer shall advance all costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee and the Master Servicer with respect to any Cross-Collateralized Group pursuant to this paragraph, and such advances and interest thereon shall (i) constitute and be reimbursable as Servicing Advances and (ii) be included in the calculation of Purchase Price for the Mortgage Loan(s) to be repurchased or

replaced. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be liable to any Certificateholder or any other party hereto if a modification of the Mortgage Loan Documents described above cannot be effected for any reason beyond the control of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, respectively.


 


The reasonable “out-of-pocket” costs and expenses incurred by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and/or the Custodian pursuant to this Section 2.03(b), including reasonable attorney fees and expenses, shall constitute Servicing Advances to the extent not collected from the related Responsible Repurchase Party.


 


(c)           Whenever one or more Replacement Mortgage Loans are substituted for a Defective Mortgage Loan by a Mortgage Loan Seller as contemplated by this Section 2.03, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall direct the party effecting the substitution to deliver to the Custodian the related Mortgage File and a certification to the effect that such Replacement Mortgage Loan satisfies or such Replacement Mortgage Loans satisfy, as the case may be, all of the requirements of the definition of “Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan”. No mortgage loan may be substituted for a Defective Mortgage Loan as contemplated by this Section 2.03 if the Mortgage Loan to be replaced was itself a Replacement Mortgage Loan, in which case, absent a cure of the relevant Material Breach or Material Document Defect, the affected Mortgage Loan shall be required to be repurchased as contemplated hereby. Monthly Payments due with respect to each Replacement Mortgage Loan (if any) after the related date of substitution, and Monthly Payments due with respect to each corresponding Deleted Mortgage Loan (if any) after its respective Cut-off Date and on or prior to the related date of substitution, shall be part of the Trust Fund. Monthly Payments due with respect to each Replacement Mortgage Loan (if any) on or prior to the related date of substitution, and Monthly Payments due with respect to each corresponding Deleted Mortgage Loan (if any) after the related date of substitution, shall not be part of the Trust Fund and are to be remitted by the Master Servicer to the party effecting the related substitution promptly following receipt.


 


If any Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased or replaced by a Responsible Repurchase Party as contemplated by this Section 2.03, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall direct such party to amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of any Deleted Mortgage Loan and, if applicable, the substitution of the related Replacement Mortgage Loan(s); and, upon its receipt of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall deliver or cause the delivery of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the other parties hereto. Upon any substitution of one or more Replacement Mortgage Loans for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, such Replacement Mortgage Loan(s) shall become part of the Trust Fund and be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects.


 


The reasonable “out-of-pocket” costs and expenses incurred by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and/or the Custodian pursuant to this Section 2.03(c), including reasonable attorney fees and expenses, shall constitute Servicing Advances to the extent not collected from the related Responsible Repurchase Party.


 


(d)           Upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate from the Master Servicer to the effect that the full amount of the Purchase Price or Substitution Shortfall Amount (as the case


 




  





-129-











  






 


may be) for any Mortgage Loan repurchased or replaced by the related Responsible Repurchase Party as contemplated by this Section 2.03 has been deposited in the Collection Account, and further, if applicable, upon receipt of the Mortgage File for each Replacement Mortgage Loan (if any) to be substituted for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, together with any certifications and/or opinions required pursuant to Section 2.03(b) to be delivered by the applicable Responsible Repurchase Party, the Trustee and the Custodian shall each (i) release the Mortgage File and any Additional Collateral held by it or on its behalf for the Deleted Mortgage Loan to the related Responsible Repurchase Party or its designee and (ii) execute and deliver such instruments of release, transfer and/or assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be provided to it and are reasonably necessary to vest in the applicable Responsible Repurchase Party or its designee the ownership of the Deleted Mortgage Loan, and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall notify the Depositor and the affected Borrowers of the transfers of the Deleted Mortgage Loan(s) and any Replacement Mortgage Loan(s). In connection with any such repurchase or substitution by the related Responsible Repurchase Party, each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall deliver to the applicable Responsible Repurchase Party or its designee any portion of the related Servicing File, together with any Escrow Payments, Reserve Funds and Additional Collateral, held by or on behalf of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, with respect to the Deleted Mortgage Loan, in each case at the expense of such Responsible Repurchase Party. The reasonable “out-of-pocket” costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and/or the Custodian pursuant to this Section 2.03(d), to the extent not collected from the related Responsible Repurchase Party, shall be reimbursable to each of them as Servicing Advances in respect of the affected Mortgage Loan.


 


(e)           The related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement provides the sole remedies available to the Certificateholders, or the Trustee on their behalf, respecting any Document Defect or Breach with respect to any Mortgage Loan. If, in connection with any Material Document Defect or Material Breach, the related Responsible Repurchase Party defaults on its obligations to cure such Material Document Defect or Material Breach and fails to deliver a Loss of Value Payment as provided in Section 2.03(h), as the case may be, in all material respects or to repurchase or replace the affected Mortgage Loan as contemplated by this Section 2.03, then the Master Servicer, if relating to a Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan, or the Special Servicer, if relating to a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, shall promptly notify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Subordinate Class Representative and the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder, and the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Certificateholders. Thereafter, the Trustee shall (and the Special Servicer may in its own name, or, as provided in Section 3.01(b) below, in the name of the Trustee) take such actions on behalf of the Trust with respect to the enforcement of such repurchase/substitution obligations, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate legal proceedings, as the Trustee (or, if applicable, the Special Servicer) shall determine are in the best interests of the Certificateholders (taken as a collective whole). Any and all reasonable “out-of-pocket” costs and expenses incurred by the Master Servicer, the Trustee and/or the Special Servicer pursuant to this Section 2.03(e), including, reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses, to the extent not collected from the related Responsible Repurchase Party, shall constitute Servicing Advances in respect of the affected Mortgage Loan.

(f)           The Trustee shall not consent to the assignment by a Mortgage Loan Seller or Responsible Repurchase Party of their respective obligations under any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement unless such assignment is the subject of a Rating Agency Confirmation and, during any Subordinate Control Period, with the consent of the Subordinate Class Representative, which consent shall be deemed given if the Subordinate Class Representative does not respond within five (5) Business Days of receipt of the Trustee’s request.


 


(g)           If the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (each a “Repurchase Request Recipient”): (1) receives a Repurchase Communication of a request or demand for repurchase or replacement of any Mortgage Loan alleging a Document Defect or a Breach (a “Repurchase Request”); (2) receives a Repurchase Communication of a withdrawal of a Repurchase Request by the Person making such Repurchase Request (a “Repurchase Request Withdrawal”); or (3) receives a Repurchase Communication that any Mortgage Loan that was subject of a Repurchase Request has been repurchased or replaced (a “Repurchase”) or that such Repurchase Request has been rejected (a “Repurchase Request Rejection”), then such party shall give written notice thereof to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller and the other parties hereto and the Other Depositor (if applicable) promptly but in any case within ten (10) Business Days from the date of receipt thereof. Each notice required by this Section 2.03(g) (a “Rule 15Ga-1 Notice”) shall include: (i) the date that the Repurchase Communication relating to the Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection, as applicable, was received by the Repurchase Request Recipient; (ii) the identity of the Person making or withdrawing any such Repurchase Communication and the related Mortgage Loan; (iii) in the case of a Repurchase Communication of a Repurchase Request, the basis for the Repurchase Request asserted by the Person making the Repurchase Request, to the extent known to the Repurchase Request Recipient; and (iv) in the case of a Repurchase Communication of a Repurchase Request, a statement from the Repurchase Request Recipient as to whether it currently plans to pursue such Repurchase Request pursuant to Section 2.03(b). Each Rule 15Ga-1 Notice may be delivered by electronic mail in accordance with Section 12.06. A Repurchase Request Recipient shall not be required to provide any information under this Section 2.03(g) if and to the extent that such information is protected by either the attorney-client privilege or the attorney work product doctrines. Each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement will provide that (i) any Rule 15Ga-1 Notice is provided only to assist the Depositor, the related Mortgage Loan Seller, the Other Depositor (if applicable) and their respective Affiliates in complying with Rule 15Ga-1, Items 1104 and 1121 of Regulation AB and/or any other law or regulation, and (ii) (A) no action taken by, or inaction of, a Repurchase Request Recipient, and (B) no information provided pursuant to this Section 2.03(g) by a Repurchase Request Recipient, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver or defense to the exercise of any legal right the Repurchase Request Recipient may have with respect to the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.


 


If the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian receives a Repurchase Communication of a Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection, such party shall forward such Repurchase Communication as soon as possible and in any event, no later than three (3) Business Days following receipt of such Repurchase Communication to the Master Servicer, if relating to a Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan, or to the Special Servicer, if relating to a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property and shall include the following statement in the

related correspondence: “This is a Repurchase Communication of a [“Repurchase Request”] [“Repurchase Request Withdrawal”] [“Repurchase”] [“Repurchase Request Rejection”] under Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to the WFRBS 2014-C25 Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates requiring action by you as the “Repurchase Request Recipient” of such Repurchase Communication thereunder”. Upon receipt of any Repurchase Communication of a Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, pursuant to the prior sentence, such party shall be deemed a Repurchase Request Recipient in respect of such Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection, as applicable, and such party shall comply with the procedures set forth in the prior paragraph of this Section 2.03(g) with respect to such Repurchase Communication of such Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection. In no event shall this provision require the Custodian (in its capacity as Custodian) in connection with its review of a Mortgage File to provide any notice other than as set forth in Section 2.02 of this Agreement. None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian shall accept any oral Repurchase Communication of a Repurchase Request, and each of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Custodian shall direct any Person making an oral Repurchase Communication of a Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection to submit it in writing (or by means of electronic mail in accordance with Section 12.06) to the Certificate Administrator (who will act in accordance with the first sentence of this paragraph). Repurchase Communications of Repurchase Requests made to the Certificate Administrator must be submitted in writing or may be transmitted by electronic mail in accordance with Section 12.06 with a subject line of “Repurchase Request – WFRBS 2014-C25”.


 


The parties hereto agree that delivery of a Rule 15Ga-1 Notice shall not in and of itself constitute delivery of notice of any Material Document Defect or Material Breach or knowledge on the part of the Responsible Repurchase Party of any Material Document Defect or Material Breach.


 


(h)           If a Mortgage Loan Seller (or, if applicable, a related Responsible Repurchase Party), in connection with a Material Document Defect or a Material Breach (or an allegation of a Material Document Defect or a Material Breach) pertaining to a Mortgage Loan, makes a cash payment pursuant to an agreement or a settlement between the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (or, if applicable, a related Responsible Repurchase Party) and the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust (with the consent of the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder to the extent a Subordinate Control Period or Collective Consultation Period is then in effect) (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 3.05(h)(iii) of this Agreement. If such Loss of Value Payment is made, the Loss of Value Payment shall serve as the sole remedy available to the Certificateholders and the Trustee on their behalf regarding any such Material Breach or Material Document Defect in lieu of any obligation of the Mortgage Loan Seller (or, if applicable, a related Responsible Repurchase Party) to otherwise cure such Material Breach or Material Document Defect or repurchase or substitute for the affected Mortgage Loan based on such Material Breach or Material Document Defect under any circumstances. This paragraph is intended to apply only to a mutual agreement or settlement between the applicable Mortgage

Loan Seller (or, if applicable, a related Responsible Repurchase Party) and the Trust, provided that prior to any such agreement or settlement nothing in this paragraph shall preclude the Mortgage Loan Seller (or, if applicable, a related Responsible Repurchase Party) or the Trustee from exercising any of its rights related to a Material Document 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), and provided, further, that such Loss of Value Payment shall not be greater than the repurchase price of the affected Mortgage Loan; and provided, further that a Material Document Defect or a Material Breach as a result of a Mortgage Loan not constituting a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code may not be cured by a Loss of Value Payment.

Section 2.11     Creation of REMIC I; Issuance of the REMIC I Regular Interests and the REMIC I Residual Interest; Certain Matters Involving REMIC I. (a) It is the intention of the parties hereto that the following segregated pool of assets constitute a REMIC for federal income tax purposes and, further, that such segregated pool of assets be designated as “REMIC I”: (i) the Mortgage Loans that are from time to time subject to this Agreement, together with (A) all payments under and proceeds of such Mortgage Loans received after the Closing Date (other than any Post-ARD Additional Interest) or, in the case of any such Mortgage Loan that is a Replacement Mortgage Loan, after the related date of substitution (other than scheduled payments of interest and principal due on or before the respective Cut-off Dates for such Mortgage Loans or, in the case of any such Mortgage Loan that is a Replacement Mortgage Loan, on or before the related date of substitution, and exclusive of any such amounts that constitute Excess Servicing Fees), and (B) all rights of the holder of such Mortgage Loans under the related Mortgage Loan Documents and in and to any related Additional Collateral; (ii) any REO Property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan (or, in the case of any REO Property related to a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan, the beneficial interest of the holder of the related Mortgage Loan in such REO Property); (iii) such funds and assets as from time to time are deposited in the Collection Account (but not in the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account), the Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account and, if established (but, in the case of any such account established with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination, subject to the rights of any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders), the REO Accounts (exclusive of any such amounts that constitute Excess Servicing Fees) and (iv) the rights of the Depositor under Sections 2, 3, 4 (other than Section 4(c), (d) and (f)) and 5 (other than Section 5(f), (g), (h) and (i)) (and, to the extent related to the foregoing, Sections 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17 and 18) of each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. The Closing Date is hereby designated as the “Startup Day” of REMIC I within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.


 


(b)           Concurrently with the assignment to the Trustee of the Original Mortgage Loans and certain related assets, pursuant to Section 2.01(b), and in exchange therefor, the REMIC I Regular Interests and the REMIC I Residual Interest shall be issued. A single separate 


 




  





-144-











  






 


REMIC I Regular Interest shall be issued with respect to each Original Mortgage Loan. For purposes of this Agreement each REMIC I Regular Interest shall relate to the Original Mortgage Loan in respect of which it was issued, to each Replacement Mortgage Loan (if any) substituted for such Original Mortgage Loan and to each REO Mortgage Loan deemed outstanding with respect to any REO Property acquired in respect of such Original Mortgage Loan or any such Replacement Mortgage Loan (or, in the case of any REO Property related to a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan, the beneficial interest of the holder of the related Mortgage Loan in any related REO Property). None of the REMIC I Regular Interests shall be certificated. The REMIC I Regular Interests and the REMIC I Residual Interest shall collectively constitute the entire beneficial ownership of REMIC I.


 


(c)           The REMIC I Regular Interests shall constitute the “regular interests” (within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(1) of the Code), and the REMIC I Residual Interest shall constitute the sole “residual interest” (within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(2) of the Code), in REMIC I. None of the parties hereto, to the extent it is within the control thereof, shall create or permit the creation of any other “interests” in REMIC I (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860D-1(b)(1)).


 


(d)           The designation for each REMIC I Regular Interest shall be the identification number for the related Original Mortgage Loan set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule.


 


(e)           Each REMIC I Regular Interest shall have an Uncertificated Principal Balance. As of the Closing Date, the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each REMIC I Regular Interest shall equal the Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the related Original Mortgage Loan (as specified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule). On each Distribution Date, the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each REMIC I Regular Interest shall be (1) permanently reduced by any distributions of principal deemed made with respect to such REMIC I Regular Interest on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01(j) and (2) further adjusted in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 4.04(c). Except as provided in the preceding sentence and except to the extent of the recovery of amounts previously allocated as a Realized Loss as a result of the reimbursement from principal collections of Nonrecoverable Advances, the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each REMIC I Regular Interest shall not otherwise be increased or reduced. Deemed distributions to REMIC II in reimbursement of any Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund Expenses previously deemed allocated to a REMIC I Regular Interest, shall not constitute deemed distributions of principal and shall not result in any reduction of the Uncertificated Principal Balance of such REMIC I Regular Interest.


 


(f)            The per annum rate at which each REMIC I Regular Interest shall accrue interest during each Interest Accrual Period is herein referred to as its “REMIC I Remittance Rate”. The REMIC I Remittance Rate in respect of any particular REMIC I Regular Interest, for any Interest Accrual Period, shall equal: (A) if the related Original Mortgage Loan is or was, as the case may be, a 30/360 Mortgage Loan, the related Net Mortgage Rate then in effect (including as a result of any step-up provision) for the related Original Mortgage Loan under the original terms of such Mortgage Loan in effect as of the Closing Date (without regard to any modifications, extensions, waivers or amendments of such Mortgage Loan subsequent to the Closing Date, whether entered into by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or in 


 




  





-145-











  






 


connection with any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding involving the related Borrower) and (B) if the related Original Mortgage Loan is or was, as the case may be, an Actual/360 Mortgage Loan, a fraction (expressed as a percentage), the numerator of which is the product of 12 times the Adjusted Actual/360 Accrued Interest Amount with respect to such REMIC I Regular Interest for such Interest Accrual Period, and the denominator of which is the Uncertificated Principal Balance of such REMIC I Regular Interest immediately prior to the Distribution Date that corresponds to such Interest Accrual Period.


 


The “Adjusted Actual/360 Accrued Interest Amount” with respect to any REMIC I Regular Interest referred to in clause (B) of the second sentence of the prior paragraph, for any Interest Accrual Period, is an amount of interest equal to the product of (a) the Net Mortgage Rate then in effect (including as a result of any step-up provision) for the related Mortgage Loan under the original terms of such Mortgage Loan in effect as of the Closing Date (without regard to any modifications, extensions, waivers or amendments of such Mortgage Loan subsequent to the Closing Date, whether entered into by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or in connection with any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding involving the related Borrower), multiplied by (b) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in such Interest Accrual Period, and the denominator of which is 360, multiplied by (c) the Uncertificated Principal Balance of such REMIC I Regular Interest immediately prior to the Distribution Date that corresponds to such Interest Accrual Period; provided that, if the subject Interest Accrual Period occurs during (x) December of any year that does not immediately precede a leap year or (y) January of any year, then the amount of interest calculated with respect to the subject REMIC I Regular Interest pursuant to this definition for such Interest Accrual Period without regard to this proviso shall be decreased by the Interest Reserve Amount, if any (and the fraction described in clause (B) of the second sentence of the preceding paragraph shall be adjusted accordingly), with respect to the related Mortgage Loan (or any successor REO Mortgage Loan with respect thereto) transferred, in accordance with Section 3.04(c), from the Distribution Account to the Interest Reserve Account on the Master Servicer Remittance Date that occurs immediately following the end of such Interest Accrual Period; and provided, further, that, if the subject Interest Accrual Period occurs during February of any year (or during any December or January preceding the month of the Final Distribution Date), then the amount of interest calculated with respect to the subject REMIC I Regular Interest pursuant to this definition for such Interest Accrual Period without regard to this proviso shall be increased by the Interest Reserve Amount(s), if any (and the fraction described in clause (B) of the second sentence of the preceding paragraph shall be adjusted accordingly), with respect to the related Mortgage Loan (or any successor REO Mortgage Loan with respect thereto) transferred, in accordance with Section 3.05(c), from the Interest Reserve Account to the Distribution Account on the Master Servicer Remittance Date that occurs immediately following the end of such Interest Accrual Period.


 


(g)           Each REMIC I Regular Interest shall bear interest. Such interest shall be calculated on a 30/360 Basis and, during each Interest Accrual Period, such interest shall accrue at the REMIC I Remittance Rate with respect to such REMIC I Regular Interest for such Interest Accrual Period on the Uncertificated Principal Balance of such REMIC I Regular Interest outstanding immediately prior to the related Distribution Date. The total amount of interest accrued with respect to each REMIC I Regular Interest during each Interest Accrual Period is referred to herein as its “Uncertificated Accrued Interest” for such Interest Accrual Period. The 


 




  





-146-











  






 


portion of the Uncertificated Accrued Interest with respect to any REMIC I Regular Interest for any Interest Accrual Period that shall be distributable to REMIC II, as the holder of such REMIC I Regular Interest, on the related Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01(j), shall be an amount (herein referred to as the “Uncertificated Distributable Interest” with respect to such REMIC I Regular Interest for the related Distribution Date) equal to (i) the Uncertificated Accrued Interest with respect to such REMIC I Regular Interest for the related Interest Accrual Period, reduced (to not less than zero) by (ii) the portion of any Net Aggregate Prepayment Interest Shortfall for such Distribution Date that is allocable to such REMIC I Regular Interest. For purposes of the foregoing, the Net Aggregate Prepayment Interest Shortfall, if any, for each Distribution Date shall be allocated among all the REMIC I Regular Interests on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective amounts of Uncertificated Accrued Interest for the related Interest Accrual Period. If the entire Uncertificated Distributable Interest with respect to any REMIC I Regular Interest for any Distribution Date is not deemed distributed to REMIC II, as the holder of such REMIC I Regular Interest, on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01(j), then the unpaid portion of such Uncertificated Distributable Interest shall be distributable with respect to such REMIC I Regular Interest for future Distribution Dates as provided in such Section 4.01(j).


 


(h)           Solely for purposes of satisfying Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii), the Latest Possible Maturity Date for each REMIC I Regular Interest shall be the date that is the Rated Final Distribution Date.


 


(i)            The REMIC I Residual Interest will not have a principal balance and will not bear interest.


 


Section 2.12     Conveyance of the REMIC I Regular Interests; Acceptance of the REMIC I Regular Interests by Trustee. The Depositor, as of the Closing Date, and concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, does hereby assign without recourse all of its right, title and interest in and to the REMIC I Regular Interests to the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of the Regular Certificates and the Class R Certificates. The Trustee acknowledges the assignment to it of the REMIC I Regular Interests and declares that it holds and will hold the same in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Holders of the Regular Certificates and the Class R Certificates.


 


Section 2.13     Creation of REMIC II; Issuance of the REMIC II Regular Interests and the REMIC II Residual Interest; Certain Matters Involving REMIC II. (a) It is the intention of the parties hereto that the segregated pool of assets consisting of the REMIC I Regular Interests constitute a REMIC for federal income tax purposes and, further, that such segregated pool of assets be designated as “REMIC II”. The Closing Date is hereby designated as the “Startup Day” of REMIC II within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.


 


(b)           Concurrently with the assignment of the REMIC I Regular Interests to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.12 and in exchange therefor, the REMIC II Regular Interests and the REMIC II Residual Interest shall be issued. None of the REMIC II Regular Interests shall be certificated. The REMIC II Regular Interests and the REMIC II Residual Interest shall collectively constitute the entire beneficial ownership of REMIC II.

(c)           The REMIC II Regular Interests shall constitute the “regular interests” (within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(1) of the Code), and the REMIC II Residual Interest shall constitute the sole “residual interest” (within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(2) of the Code), in REMIC II. None of the parties hereto, to the extent it is within the control thereof, shall create or permit the creation of any other “interests” in REMIC II (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860D-1(b)(1)).


 


(d)           The REMIC II Regular Interests will have the alphabetic or alphanumeric designations indicated in the table set forth in the Preliminary Statement under the caption “REMIC II”.


 


(e)           Each REMIC II Regular Interest shall have an Uncertificated Principal Balance. As of the Closing Date, the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each REMIC II Regular Interest shall equal the amount set forth opposite such REMIC II Regular Interest in the table set forth in the Preliminary Statement under the caption “REMIC II”. On each Distribution Date, the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each REMIC II Regular Interest shall be (i) permanently reduced by any distributions of principal deemed made with respect to such REMIC II Regular Interest on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01(i) and (ii) further adjusted in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 4.04(b). Except as provided in the preceding sentence and except to the extent of the recovery of amounts previously allocated as a Realized Loss as a result of the reimbursement from principal collections of Nonrecoverable Advances, the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each REMIC II Regular Interest shall not otherwise be increased or reduced. Deemed distributions to REMIC III in reimbursement of any Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund Expenses previously deemed allocated to a REMIC II Regular Interest, shall not constitute deemed distributions of principal and shall not result in any reduction of the Uncertificated Principal Balance of such REMIC II Regular Interest.


 


(f)            The per annum rate at which each REMIC II Regular Interest shall accrue interest during each Interest Accrual Period is herein referred to as its “REMIC II Remittance Rate”.

-153-











  






 


(a)           Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall service and administer the applicable Serviced Mortgage Loans, the applicable Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan and any applicable Administered REO Properties that it is obligated (as provided below) to service and administer pursuant to this Agreement on behalf of the Trustee, and in the best interests and for the benefit of the Certificateholders (or, in the case of any Serviced Loan Combination, of the Certificateholders and the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s)) (as determined by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, in its good faith and reasonable judgment), as a collective whole, in accordance with any and all applicable laws, the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the respective Serviced Mortgage Loans and, in the case of any Serviced Loan Combination, the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement (provided that, in the event the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, in its reasonably exercised judgment determines that following the terms of any Mortgage Loan Document would or potentially would result in an Adverse REMIC Event (for which determination, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer will be entitled to rely on advice of counsel, the cost of which will be reimbursed as an Additional Trust Fund Expense by withdrawal from the Collection Account), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, must comply with the REMIC Provisions to the extent necessary to avoid an Adverse REMIC Event) and, to the extent consistent with the foregoing, in accordance with the Servicing Standard. In clarification of, and neither in addition to nor in deletion of the duties and obligations of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, no provision herein contained shall be construed as an express or implied guarantee by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer of the collectability or recoverability of payments on the Mortgage Loans or any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan or shall be construed to impair or adversely affect any rights or benefits provided by this Agreement to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (including with respect to Master Servicing Fees or the right to be reimbursed for Advances). Any provision in this Agreement for any Advance by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee is intended solely to provide liquidity for the benefit of the Certificateholders and, if applicable, any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders, and not as credit support or otherwise to impose on any such Person the risk of loss with respect to one or more of the Mortgage Loans. No provision hereof shall be construed to impose liability on the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer for the reason that any recovery to the Certificateholders (or, in the case of any Serviced Loan Combination, to the Certificateholders and the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s)) in respect of a Mortgage Loan at any time after a determination of present value recovery made in its reasonable and good faith judgment in accordance with the Servicing Standard by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer hereunder at any time is less than the amount reflected in such determination. Without limiting the foregoing, and subject to Section 3.21, (i) the Master Servicer shall service and administer all related Performing Serviced Mortgage Loans and related Performing Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loans, (ii) the Special Servicer shall service and administer (x) each Serviced Mortgage Loan and each Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (other than Corrected Mortgage Loans) as to which a Servicing Transfer Event has occurred, and (y) each Administered REO Property; provided that the Master Servicer shall continue to (A) make P&I Advances required hereunder with respect to each related Mortgage Loan that constitutes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and each related successor REO Mortgage Loan in respect thereof, (B) make Servicing Advances required hereunder with respect to any related Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and Administered REO Properties (and related REO Mortgage Loans), (C) receive 


 




  





-154-











  






 


payments, collect information and deliver reports to the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee required hereunder with respect to any related Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and Administered REO Properties (and the related REO Mortgage Loans), and (D) render such incidental services with respect to any related Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and Administered REO Properties as and to the extent as may be specifically provided for herein. In addition, the Master Servicer shall notify the Special Servicer within three (3) Business Days following its receipt of any collections on any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall within one (1) Business Day thereafter notify the Master Servicer with instructions on how to apply such collections and the Master Servicer shall apply such collections in accordance with such instructions within one Business Day following the Master Servicer’s receipt of such notice.


 


(b)           Subject to Section 3.01(a) and the other terms and provisions of this Agreement, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each have full power and authority, acting alone or, subject to Section 3.22, through Sub-Servicers, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which it may deem necessary or desirable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Master Servicer (with respect to those Serviced Mortgage Loans and any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan that it is obligated to service and administer pursuant to this Agreement) and the Special Servicer (with respect to the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and Administered REO Properties that it is obligated to service and administer pursuant to this Agreement), in its own name or in the name of the Trustee, is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee (and in the case of any Serviced Loan Combination is, pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement, authorized by the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Trustee (and in the case of any Serviced Loan Combination), the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder, or any of them: (i) any and all financing statements, continuation statements and other documents or instruments necessary to maintain the lien created by the Mortgage or other security document in the related Mortgage File on the related Mortgaged Property and other related collateral; (ii) any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, or of partial or full defeasance, and all other comparable instruments; and (iii) subject to Sections 3.08, 3.20 and 3.24) any and all assumptions, modifications, waivers, substitutions, extensions, amendments, consents to transfers of interests in Borrowers, consents to any subordinate financings to be secured by any related Mortgaged Property, consents to any mezzanine financing to be secured by ownership interests in a Borrower, consents to and monitoring of the application of any proceeds of insurance policies or condemnation awards to the restoration of the related Mortgaged Property or otherwise, consents to other matters that pursuant to the applicable Mortgage Loan Documents require the consent of the holder of the Mortgage, documents relating to the management, operation, maintenance, repair, leasing and marketing of the related Mortgaged Properties (including agreements and requests by any Borrower with respect to modifications of the standards of operation and management of the Mortgaged Properties or the replacement of asset managers), documents exercising any or all of the rights, powers and privileges granted or provided to the holder of any Serviced Mortgage Loan under the related Mortgage Loan Documents, lease subordination agreements, non-disturbance and attornment agreements or other leasing or rental arrangements that may be requested by any Borrower or its tenants, documents granting, modifying or releasing (or joining the Borrower therein) any easements, covenants, conditions, restrictions, equitable servitudes, or land use or

zoning requirements with respect to the Mortgaged Properties, instruments relating to the custody of any collateral that now secures or hereafter may secure any Serviced Mortgage Loan and any other consents. Subject to Section 3.10, the Trustee shall, at the written request of a Servicing Officer of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, furnish, or cause to be so furnished, to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, any limited powers of attorney substantially in the form attached as Exhibit L hereto (or such other form as mutually agreed to by the Trustee and the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable) and other documents (each of which shall be prepared by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be) necessary or appropriate to enable it to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder; provided that the Trustee shall not be held responsible or liable for any negligence with respect to, or any willful misuse of, any such power of attorney by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, on or before the Closing Date, a power of attorney substantially in the form attached as Exhibit L hereto (or such other form as mutually agreed to by the Trustee and the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, neither the Master Servicer nor 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 Special Servicer’s, as applicable, representative capacity; provided, however, that in those jurisdictions in which the foregoing requirement would not be legally or procedurally permissible, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide five (5) Business Days’ prior notice to the Trustee of the initiation of such action, suit or proceeding (or provide such prior notice as the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall determine in its reasonable judgment exercised in accordance with the Servicing Standard, to be reasonably practicable prior to filing such action, suit or proceeding) (and shall not be required to obtain the Trustee’s written consent or indicate the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s, as applicable, representative capacity); or (ii) take any action with the intent to cause, and that actually causes, the Trustee to be registered to do business in any state. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall indemnify (out of its own funds without reimbursement therefor) the Trustee for any and all costs, liabilities and expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with the negligent or willful misuse of such power of attorney by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be.


 


(c)           The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, in accordance with this Agreement, shall service and administer each Cross-Collateralized Group as a single Mortgage Loan as and when necessary and appropriate consistent with the Servicing Standard and applicable law and in accordance with this Agreement.


 


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


 


(e)           Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that each of the Master Servicer’s and Special Servicer’s obligations and responsibilities hereunder and the Master Servicer’s and Special Servicer’s authority with respect to the Non-Serviced Loan Combinations and any REO Property that is not an Administered REO

Property is limited by and subject to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreements and the rights, responsibilities and obligations of the Non-Trust Master Servicer, the Non-Trust Special Servicer and the Non-Trust Trustee under the Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer shall, to the extent directed and instructed as contemplated by Section 3.01(g), enforce the rights of the Trustee (as holder of each Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan) under the related Intercreditor Agreement and the Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


(f)           Nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit the ability of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer to lend money to (to the extent not secured, in whole or in part, by any Mortgaged Property, which indebtedness may be secured by a lien on the related Mortgaged Property), accept deposits from and otherwise generally engage in any kind of business or dealings with any Borrower as though the Master Servicer or Special Servicer was not a party to this Agreement or to the transactions contemplated hereby; provided that this sentence shall not be construed to modify or supersede the Servicing Standard.


 


(g)           The parties hereto acknowledge that each Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan and any REO Property that is not an Administered REO Property is subject to the terms and conditions of the related Intercreditor Agreement and the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The parties hereto recognize the respective rights and obligations of the “Initial Note Holders” and “Note Holders” under the Intercreditor Agreements for such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loans, including with respect to the allocation of collections and losses on or in respect of such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loans and the related Non-Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loans and the making of payments to the “Initial Note Holders” and “Note Holders” in accordance with each such Intercreditor Agreement and the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The parties hereto further acknowledge that, pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement(s) for each Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan and any REO Property that is not an Administered REO Property, each Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan, the related Non-Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan and any REO Property that is not an Administered REO Property are to be serviced and administered by the related Non-Trust Master Servicer and related Non-Trust Special Servicer in accordance with the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Although each Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan is not a Serviced Mortgage Loan hereunder, the Master Servicer hereunder for each such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan shall have certain duties as set forth herein and shall constitute the “Master Servicer” hereunder with respect to each such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan. The Special Servicer shall have no obligations under this Agreement for servicing any Non-Serviced Loan Combinations or related REO Property.

If there are at any time amounts due from the Trust, as holder of a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan, to any party under the related Intercreditor Agreement or the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement pursuant to the terms thereof, the Master Servicer shall notify the Special Servicer and the Subordinate Class

Representative, and the Master Servicer shall pay such amounts out of the Collection Account. Except as otherwise expressly addressed in Section 3.20, if a party to the Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement related to a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan requests the Trustee to consent to a modification, waiver or amendment of, or other loan-level action related to, such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan, then the Trustee shall promptly deliver a copy of such request to the Master Servicer to be addressed by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.20(g); provided that, if such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan were serviced hereunder and such action would not be permitted without Rating Agency Confirmation, then the Master Servicer shall not grant such direction without first having obtained such Rating Agency Confirmation (payable at the expense of the party requesting such approval of the Trustee, if a Certificateholder or a party to this Agreement, otherwise from the Collection Account). If a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives actual notice of a “servicer termination event” (or other similar term) under the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement, then (during any Subordinate Control Period or Collective Consultation Period) the Trustee shall notify (in writing), and direct the Master Servicer to act in accordance with the instructions of, the Subordinate Class Representative; provided that, during a Senior Consultation Period, or if such instructions are not provided within a reasonable time period (not to exceed ten (10) Business Days or such lesser response time as is afforded under the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement), or if the Master Servicer is not permitted by the Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement to follow such instructions, then the Trustee shall direct the Master Servicer to take such action or inaction (to the extent permitted by the Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement), as directed in writing by the Holders of the Certificates entitled to a majority of the Voting Rights (such direction communicated to the Master Servicer by the Trustee) within a reasonable period of time that does not exceed such response time as is afforded under the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement. If the Trustee receives a request from any party to a Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement for consent to or approval of a modification, waiver or amendment of such Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement and/or the related Intercreditor Agreement, or the adoption of any servicing agreement that is the successor to and/or in replacement of such Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement in effect as of the Closing Date or a change in servicer under such Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement, then the Trustee shall not grant such consent or approval unless it receives the consent of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, the consent of the Subordinate Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period or Collective Consultation Period) and a Rating Agency Confirmation (at the expense of the party requesting such approval of the Trustee, if a Certificateholder or a party to this Agreement, otherwise from the Collection Account) from each Rating Agency to the effect that such consent or approval would not result in an Adverse Rating Event with respect to any Class of Rated Certificates. During the continuation of any “servicer termination event” (or other similar term) under a Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement, each of the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall have the right (but not the obligation) to take all actions to enforce its rights and remedies and to protect the interests, and enforce the rights and remedies, of the Trust (including the institution and prosecution of all judicial, administrative and other proceedings and the filings of proofs of claim and debt in connection therewith). The reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in connection with such enforcement shall be an Additional Trust Fund Expense. The Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each promptly forward all material notices or other communications

delivered to it in connection with each Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the other such parties, the Depositor and the Subordinate Class Representative and, if such notice or communication is in the nature of a notice or communication that would be required to be delivered to the Rating Agencies if the related Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan were a Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such notice to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 8.12(c)). 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-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan shall be dependent on its receipt of the corresponding information and collections from the related Non-Trust Master Servicer or the related Non-Trust Special Servicer.


 


(h)           With respect to each Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan, the parties to this Agreement agree as follows:


 


(i)            the Trust shall be responsible for its pro rata share of any “Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances” (as defined in the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement) (and advance interest thereon) and any “Additional Trust Fund Expenses” (as defined in the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement), but only to the extent that they relate to servicing and administration of the related Non-Serviced Loan Combination, including without limitation, any unpaid “Special Servicing Fees”, “Liquidation Fees” and “Workout Fees” (each, as defined in the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement) relating to the related Non-Serviced Loan Combination, and that if the funds received with respect to the related Non-Serviced Loan Combination are insufficient to cover “Servicing Advances” or “Additional Trust Fund Expenses” (each as defined in the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement), (i) the Master Servicer shall, promptly following notice from the Non-Trust Master Servicer, reimburse the Non-Trust Master Servicer, the Non-Trust Special Servicer, the Non-Trust Certificate Administrator or the Non-Trust Trustee, as applicable (such reimbursement, to the extent owed to the Non-Trust Special Servicer, the Non-Trust Certificate Administrator or the Non-Trust Trustee, may be paid by the Master Servicer to the Non-Trust Master Servicer, who shall pay such amounts to the Non-Trust Special Servicer, the Non-Trust Certificate Administrator or the Non-Trust Trustee, as applicable), out of general collections in either Collection Account for the Trust’s pro rata share of any such “Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances” and/or “Additional Trust Fund Expenses”, and (ii) if the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement permits the Non-Trust Master Servicer, the Non-Trust Special Servicer, the Non-Trust Certificate Administrator or the Non-Trust Trustee to reimburse itself from the related trust’s general collections, then the parties to this Agreement hereby acknowledge and agree that the Non-Trust Master Servicer, the Non-Trust Special Servicer, the Non-Trust Certificate Administrator or the Non-Trust Trustee, as applicable, may do so and the Master Servicer shall be required to, promptly following notice from the Non-Trust Master Servicer, reimburse the related trust out of general collections in the Collection Accounts for the Trust’s pro rata share of any such “Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances” and/or “Additional Trust Fund Expenses”;


 




  





-159-











  






 


(ii)          each of the Indemnified Parties (as defined in each Intercreditor Agreement) shall be indemnified (as and to the same extent the related trust established pursuant to the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement is required to indemnify each of such Indemnified Parties in respect of other mortgage loans in such trust pursuant to the terms of the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement) by the Trust, against any of the Indemnified Items (as defined in each Intercreditor Agreement) to the extent of the Trust’s pro rata share of such Indemnified Items, and to the extent amounts on deposit in the “Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account” (as such term or other similar term is defined in the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement) are insufficient for reimbursement of such amounts, the Master Servicer shall, promptly following notice from the Non-Trust Master Servicer, reimburse each of the applicable Indemnified Parties for the Trust’s pro rata share of the insufficiency out of general funds in the Collection Account;


 


(iii)         the Certificate Administrator shall deliver to the Non-Trust Trustee, the Non-Trust Certificate Administrator, the Non-Trust Special Servicer, the Non-Trust Master Servicer and the Non-Trust Trust Advisor (provided that such contact information has been provided to the Certificate Administrator) (with a copy to be sent to the Master Servicer and Special Servicer) (A) promptly following the Closing Date (and with respect to the AMCP Portfolio Loan Combination, promptly following the Certificate Administrator’s receipt of notice that AMCP Portfolio Pari Passu Companion Loan has been included in a securitization), written notice in the form of Exhibit U attached hereto, stating that, as of the Closing Date, the Trustee is the holder of such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan and directing each such recipient to remit to the Master Servicer all amounts payable to, and to forward, deliver or otherwise make available, as the case may be, to the Master Servicer all reports, statements, documents, communications and other information that are to be forwarded, delivered or otherwise made available to, the holder of such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan under the related Intercreditor Agreement and the Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement (which notice shall also provide contact information for the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the party designated to exercise the rights of the “Non-Controlling Note Holder” under each Intercreditor Agreement) and (B) notice of any subsequent change in the identity of the Master Servicer; and


 


(iv)          the Non-Trust Master Servicer, the Non-Trust Special Servicer and the related trust established pursuant to the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 3.01(h).


 


(i)           In the event that any Mortgage Loan included in any Serviced Loan Combination is no longer part of the Trust Fund, such Mortgage Loan and the related Serviced Loan Combination shall continue to be serviced and administered under this Agreement by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer until a successor servicing agreement, acceptable to the parties thereto, is entered into with the consent of the holder of such Mortgage Loan and the related Pari Passu Companion Loan; provided, however, that, as of the time such Mortgage Loan is no longer part of the Trust Fund, such Serviced Loan Combination and the related Mortgaged Property shall be serviced for the benefit of the holders of such Serviced Loan Combination as if they were the sole assets serviced and administered hereunder, and the sole source of funds

hereunder (other than with respect to the reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances made while such Mortgage Loan was part of the Trust Fund) and that there shall be no further obligation of any Person to make P&I Advances. The Master Servicing Fee, the Special Servicing Fee, the Liquidation Fee and/or the Workout Fee with respect to such Serviced Loan Combination shall continue to be calculated based on the entire principal amount of such Serviced Loan Combination. All amounts due the Master Servicer 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 and the Special Servicer on the first Master Servicer Remittance Date following removal of the Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund and any related Master Servicer Remittance Date thereafter. In addition, until such time as a separate servicing agreement with respect to such Serviced Loan Combination and any related REO Property has been entered into, notwithstanding that neither such Mortgage Loan nor any related REO Property is part of the Trust Fund, the Custodian shall continue to hold the Mortgage File.


 


Section 3.02      Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments. (a) Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall make efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard and the terms of this Agreement to collect all payments required under the terms and provisions of the respective Serviced Mortgage Loans and any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan it is obligated to service hereunder (including, without limitation, all Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees, Liquidation Fees and other fees and compensation payable to the Master Servicer and to the Special Servicer to the extent the Borrower is obligated to pay such amounts pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Documents); and shall follow such collection procedures as are consistent with the Servicing Standard; provided that the Master Servicer shall not, with respect to any Mortgage Loan that constitutes an ARD Mortgage Loan after its Anticipated Repayment Date, take any enforcement action with respect to the payment of Post-ARD Additional Interest (other than the making of requests for its collection), and the Special Servicer may do so only if (A) such Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and (B) either (i) the taking of an enforcement action with respect to the payment of other amounts due under such Mortgage Loan is, in the reasonable judgment of the Special Servicer, and without regard to such Post-ARD Additional Interest, also necessary, appropriate and consistent with the Servicing Standard or (ii) all other amounts due under such Mortgage Loan have been paid, the payment of such Post-ARD Additional Interest has not been forgiven in accordance with Section 3.20 and, in the reasonable judgment of the Special Servicer, exercised in accordance with the Servicing Standard, the Liquidation Proceeds expected to be recovered in connection with such enforcement action will cover the anticipated costs of such enforcement action and, if applicable, any associated Post-ARD Additional Interest; provided that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may take action to enforce the Trust Fund’s right to apply excess cash flow to principal in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents. Consistent with the foregoing, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may grant case-by-case waivers of Default Charges in connection with a late payment on a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan.


 


(b)           At least ninety (90) days prior to the Stated Maturity Date of each Balloon Mortgage Loan that is a Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall send a notice to the related Borrower of such maturity date (with a copy to be sent to the Special Servicer) and shall request confirmation that the Balloon Payment will be paid by such maturity date.

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


 


Section 3.03      Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Servicing Accounts; Reserve Accounts. (a) The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more segregated accounts (“Servicing Accounts”), in which all Escrow Payments received by it with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loans or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, shall be deposited and retained, separate and apart from its own funds. Subject to any terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents that specify the nature of the account in which Escrow Payments shall be held, each Servicing Account shall be an Eligible Account. As and to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard, applicable law and the related Mortgage Loan Documents, the Master Servicer may make withdrawals from the Servicing Accounts maintained by it, and may apply Escrow Payments held therein with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (together with interest earned thereon), only as follows: (i) to effect the payment of real estate taxes, assessments, insurance premiums (including, premiums on any Environmental Insurance Policy), ground rents (if applicable) and comparable items in respect of the related Mortgaged Property; (ii) to reimburse the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, for any unreimbursed Servicing Advances made thereby with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan to cover any of the items described in the immediately preceding clause (i); (iii) to refund to the related Borrower any sums as may be determined to be overages; (iv) to pay interest or other income, if required and as described below, to the related Borrower on balances in the Servicing Account (or, if and to the extent not payable to the related Borrower to pay such interest or other income (up to the amount of any Net Investment Earnings in respect of such Servicing Account for each Collection Period) to the Master Servicer); (v) disburse Insurance Proceeds if required to be applied to the repair or restoration of the related Mortgaged Property, (vi) after an event of default, to pay the principal of, accrued interest on and any other amounts payable with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan; (vii) to withdraw amounts deposited in the Servicing Account in error; or (viii) to clear and terminate the Servicing Account at the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.01. The Master Servicer shall pay or cause to be paid to the related Borrowers interest and other income, if any, earned on the investment of funds in Servicing Accounts maintained thereby, if and to the extent required by law or the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents. If the Master Servicer shall deposit in a Servicing Account maintained by it any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from such Servicing Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. Promptly after any Escrow Payments are received by the Special Servicer from the Borrower under any Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, and in any event within one Business Day after any such receipt, the Special Servicer shall remit such Escrow Payments to the Master Servicer for deposit in the applicable Servicing Account(s).

(b)           The Master Servicer shall as to each related Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (including each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan): (i) maintain accurate records with respect to the related Mortgaged Property reflecting the status of real estate taxes, assessments and other similar items that are or may become a lien thereon and the status of insurance premiums and any ground rents payable in respect thereof and (ii) use reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such items (including renewal premiums) and effect payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination date. For purposes of effecting any such payment with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, the Master Servicer shall apply Escrow Payments as allowed under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents; provided that if such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan does not require the related Borrower to escrow for the payment of real estate taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, ground rents (if applicable) and similar items, the Master Servicer (or, if such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer) shall, subject to and in accordance with the Servicing Standard, use reasonable efforts to enforce the requirement of the related Mortgage Loan Documents that the related Borrower make payments in respect of such items at the time they first become due.


 


(c)           In accordance with the Servicing Standard, but subject to Section 3.11(h), the Master Servicer, with respect to each related Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (including each such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan that is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan) shall make a Servicing Advance with respect to the related Mortgaged Property in an amount equal to all such funds as are necessary for the purpose of effecting the timely payment of (i) real estate taxes, assessments and other similar items, (ii) ground rents (if applicable), and (iii) premiums on Insurance Policies (including, premiums on any Environmental Insurance Policy), in each instance prior to the applicable penalty or termination date, in each instance if and to the extent that (x) Escrow Payments (if any) collected from the related Borrower are insufficient to pay such item when due, and (y) the related Borrower has failed to pay such item on a timely basis; provided that, in the case of amounts described in the preceding clause (i), the Master Servicer shall not make a Servicing Advance of any such amount if the Master Servicer reasonably anticipates (in accordance with the Servicing Standard) that such amounts will be paid by the related Borrower on or before the applicable penalty date, in which case the Master Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to confirm whether such amounts have been paid and, subject to Section 3.11(h), shall make a Servicing Advance of such amounts, if necessary, not later than five (5) Business Days following confirmation by the Master Servicer that such amounts have not been paid by the applicable penalty date. All such Advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from the Borrowers and further as provided in Section 3.05(a). No costs incurred by the Master Servicer in effecting the payment of real estate taxes, assessments and, if applicable, ground rents on or in respect of any Mortgaged Property shall, for purposes hereof, including calculating monthly distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the respective unpaid principal balances or Stated Principal Balances of the subject Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan so permit; provided that this sentence shall not be construed to limit the rights of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust to enforce any obligations of the related Borrower under such Mortgage Loan.

(d)           The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more accounts, which may be a sub-account of the Servicing Accounts or a segregated account (“Reserve Accounts”), in which all Reserve Funds, if any, received by it with respect to the related Serviced Mortgage Loans or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, shall be deposited and retained, separate and apart from its own funds. Subject to any terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents that specify the nature of the account in which Reserve Funds shall be held, each Reserve Account shall be an Eligible Account. As and to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard, applicable law and the related Mortgage Loan Documents, the Master Servicer may make withdrawals from the Reserve Accounts maintained by it, and may apply Reserve Funds held therein with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (together with interest earned thereon), only as follows: (i) in the case of Reserve Funds that are intended to cover specific costs and expenses, to pay for, or to reimburse the related Borrower in connection with, the costs associated with the related tenant improvements, leasing commissions, repairs, replacements, capital improvements and/or environmental testing and remediation, litigation and/or other special expenses at or with respect to the related Mortgaged Property for which such Reserve Funds were intended and to refund the related Borrower any sums as may be determined to be overages; (ii) in the case of Reserve Funds intended to cover debt service payments, to apply amounts on deposit therein in respect of principal and interest on such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan; (iii) to reimburse the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, for any unreimbursed Advances made thereby with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan to cover any of the items described in the immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii) (or, if any such Advance has become an Unliquidated Advance, to transfer to the Collection Account an amount equal to the reimbursement that would otherwise have been made as described in this clause (iii)); (iv) subject to Section 3.20, to release such Reserve Funds to the related Borrower if the conditions precedent for such release are satisfied or otherwise apply such Reserve Funds in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan Documents if the conditions precedent for such release are not satisfied; (v) to pay interest or other income, if required and as described below, to the related Borrower on balances in the Reserve Account (or, if and to the extent not payable to the related Borrower, to pay such interest or other income (up to the amount of any Net Investment Earnings in respect of such Reserve Account for each Collection Period) to the Master Servicer); (vi) to withdraw amounts deposited in such Reserve Account in error; (vii) after an event of default, to pay the principal of, accrued interest on, and any other amounts payable with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan; or (viii) to clear and terminate the Reserve Account at the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.01. If the Borrower under any Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan delivers a Letter of Credit in lieu of Reserve Funds, then the Master Servicer, subject to Section 3.20, shall make draws on or reduce the amount of such Letter of Credit at such times and for such purposes as it would have made withdrawals from or reductions of the amount of a Reserve Account and, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard, applicable law and the related Mortgage Loan Documents, in order to convert the amount of such Letter of Credit into Reserve Funds. Promptly after any Reserve Funds are received by the Special Servicer from any Borrower, and in any event within one Business Day of such receipt, the Special Servicer shall remit such Reserve Funds to the Master Servicer for deposit in the applicable Reserve Account(s). Any out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred by the Master Servicer or the Special

Servicer to enable the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, to make any draw under any Letter of Credit shall constitute a Servicing Advance, and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall make reasonable efforts to recover such expenses from the related Borrower to the extent the Borrower is required to pay such expenses under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan.


 


(e)           To the extent an operations and maintenance plan is required to be established and executed pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents for a Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, the Master Servicer shall request from the related Borrower written confirmation thereof within a reasonable time after the later of the Closing Date and the date as of which such plan is required to be established or completed. To the extent any other action or remediation with respect to environmental matters is required to have been taken or completed pursuant to the terms of a Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, the Master Servicer shall request from the related Borrower written confirmation of such action and remediation within a reasonable time after the later of the Closing Date and the date as of which such action or remediation are required to have been taken or completed. To the extent that a Borrower shall fail to promptly respond to any inquiry described in this Section 3.03(e), the Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee, the Special Servicer, the Subordinate Class Representative, the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder and (if affected) the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s). The Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Trustee, the Special Servicer, the Subordinate Class Representative and any affected Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders if the Master Servicer determines that the Borrower under any Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan has failed to perform its obligations under such Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan in respect of environmental matters.


 


(f)           Subject to applicable law and the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents, funds in the Servicing Accounts and the Reserve Accounts may be invested only in Permitted Investments in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.06.


 


(g)           With respect to each Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan that requires the related Borrower to establish and maintain one or more lock-box, cash management or similar accounts, the Master Servicer shall establish and maintain, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, such account(s) in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents. No such lock-box account is required to be an Eligible Account, unless the Mortgage Loan Documents otherwise so require. The Master Servicer shall apply the funds deposited in such accounts in accordance with terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents, any lock-box, cash management or similar agreement and the Servicing Standard.


 


Section 3.04      Collection Account, Distribution Account, Interest Reserve Account, Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account, Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account, and Loss of Value Reserve Fund. (a) The Master Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received by it in connection with the Mortgage Loans serviced by it hereunder, separate and apart from its own funds and general assets. In connection therewith, the Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more segregated accounts as its Collection Account, in which the funds described below are to be deposited and held on behalf of the

Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders. Each account that constitutes a Collection Account shall be an Eligible Account. The Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in its Collection Account, within one Business Day of receipt by it of properly identified funds (in the case of payments by Borrowers or other collections on the Mortgage Loans) or as otherwise required hereunder, the following payments and collections received or made by or on behalf of the Master Servicer subsequent to the Closing Date with respect to the Mortgage Loans serviced by it hereunder and any REO Properties acquired in respect thereof (other than in respect of scheduled payments of principal and interest due and payable on such Mortgage Loans on or before their respective Cut-off Dates (or, in the case of a Replacement Mortgage Loan, on or before the related date of substitution), which payments shall be delivered promptly to the related Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee, with negotiable instruments endorsed as necessary and appropriate without recourse):


 


(i)        all payments (from whatever source) on account of principal of such Mortgage Loans, including Principal Prepayments;


 


(ii)       all payments (from whatever source) on account of interest on such Mortgage Loans, including Default Interest;


 


(iii)      all Prepayment Premiums, Yield Maintenance Charges and/or late payment charges received with respect to such Mortgage Loans;


 


(iv)      all Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds received with respect to such Mortgage Loans and/or, insofar as such payments and/or proceeds represent amounts allocable to reimburse Servicing Advances or pay Liquidation Expenses and/or other servicing expenses in respect of the entire Serviced Loan Combination of which any such Mortgage Loan is part;


 


(v)       any amounts relating to such Serviced Mortgage Loans and/or Administered REO Properties required to be deposited by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.07(c) in connection with losses resulting from a deductible clause in a blanket or master force placed hazard insurance policy;


 


(vi)      any amounts relating to an REO Property required to be transferred from any REO Account pursuant to Section 3.16(c);


 


(vii)     to the extent not otherwise included in another clause of this Section 3.04(a), any payments collected in respect of Unliquidated Advances on such Mortgage Loans in respect of amounts previously determined to constitute Nonrecoverable Advances;


 


(viii)    insofar as they do not constitute Escrow Payments or Reserve Funds, any amounts relating to such Mortgage Loans paid by a Borrower specifically to cover items for which a Servicing Advance has been made or that represent a recovery of property protection expenses from a Borrower; and


 


(ix)      any Loss of Value Payments, as set forth in Section 3.05(h) of this Agreement.

Furthermore, the Master Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account any amounts required to be deposited by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.06, as and when required by such section, in connection with losses incurred with respect to Permitted Investments of funds held in the Collection Account.


 


Notwithstanding the foregoing requirements, the Master Servicer need not deposit into the Collection Account any amount that the Master Servicer would be authorized to withdraw immediately from the Collection Account in accordance with the terms of Section 3.05 and shall be entitled to instead pay such amount directly to the Person(s) entitled thereto.


 


The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection Account shall be exclusive. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, actual payments from Borrowers in the nature of Escrow Payments, Reserve Funds, Assumption Fees, Assumption Application Fees, earn-out fees, extension fees, Modification Fees, charges for beneficiary statements or demands, amounts collected for checks returned for insufficient funds and other fees and amounts collected from Borrowers that constitute Additional Master Servicing Compensation and/or Additional Special Servicing Compensation, need not be deposited by the Master Servicer in the Collection Account. The Master Servicer shall promptly, and in any event within two (2) Business Days, deliver to the Special Servicer any of the foregoing items received by it with respect to any Mortgage Loan, if and to the extent that such items constitute Additional Special Servicing Compensation payable to the Special Servicer. If the Master Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from the Collection Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.


 


Upon receipt of any of the amounts described in clauses (i) through (iv) and (vii) through (viii) of the first paragraph of this Section 3.04(a) with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day after receipt, remit such amounts to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account, unless the Special Servicer determines, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that a particular item should not be deposited because of a restrictive endorsement. With respect to any such amounts paid by check to the order of the Special Servicer, the Special Servicer shall endorse such check to the order of the Master Servicer (in its capacity as such), without recourse, representation or warranty, unless the Special Servicer determines, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that a particular item cannot be so endorsed and delivered because of a restrictive endorsement. Any such amounts received by the Special Servicer with respect to an Administered REO Property shall be deposited by the Special Servicer into the related REO Account and remitted to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.16(c).


 


(b)           The Certificate Administrator shall establish and maintain one or more segregated accounts (collectively, the “Distribution Account”), to be held on behalf and in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders. Each account that constitutes the Distribution Account shall be an Eligible Account. The Certificate Administrator shall, as a bookkeeping matter, establish and maintain sub-accounts of the Distribution Account (i) one of which sub-accounts (such sub-account, the “REMIC Sub-Account”) shall be deemed to be held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the REMIC III Regular Interests and the Class R Certificates, (ii) one of which sub-accounts (such sub-account, the “Class V Sub-Account”) shall

be deemed to be held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Class V Certificates, and (iii) one of which sub-accounts (such sub-account, the “Exchangeable Sub-Account”) shall be deemed to be held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Exchangeable Certificates. Not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Certificate Administrator, for deposit in the Distribution Account, an aggregate amount of immediately available funds equal to the related Master Servicer Remittance Amount for the Master Servicer Remittance Date. In addition, the Master Servicer shall, as and when required hereunder, deliver to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account any P&I Advances and Compensating Interest Payments required to be made by the Master Servicer hereunder. Furthermore, any amounts paid by any party hereto to indemnify the Trust Fund pursuant to any provision hereof shall be delivered to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account. The Certificate Administrator shall, upon receipt, deposit in the Distribution Account any and all amounts received or, pursuant to Section 4.03, advanced by the Trustee that are required by the terms of this Agreement to be deposited therein. As and when required pursuant to Section 3.05(c), the Certificate Administrator shall transfer Interest Reserve Amounts in respect of the Interest Reserve Loans from the Interest Reserve Account to the Distribution Account. Furthermore, as and when required pursuant to Section 3.05(d), the Certificate Administrator shall transfer monies from the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account to the Distribution Account. The Certificate Administrator shall also deposit in the Distribution Account any amounts required to be deposited by the Certificate Administrator pursuant to Section 3.06 in connection with losses incurred with respect to Permitted Investments of funds held in the Distribution Account. If the Certificate Administrator shall deposit in the Distribution Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from the Distribution Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. All amounts deposited into the Distribution Account (other than any Post-ARD Additional Interest) shall be deemed to have been deposited into the REMIC Sub-Account, except that (a) any amounts that represents distributions on the Class A-S, Class B and Class C Regular Interests pursuant to Section 4.01 shall be deemed to have been deposited into the Exchangeable Sub-Account and (b) any amounts deposited into the Distribution Account by the Certificate Administrator pursuant to Section 3.06 in connection with losses incurred with respect to Permitted Investments of funds held in the Distribution Account shall be deemed to have been deposited into the Exchangeable Sub-Account insofar as the losses were incurred in respect of investments of amounts on deposit in the Exchangeable Sub-Account. Immediately upon the deposit of any amount into the Distribution Account, any portion thereof that represents any Post-ARD Additional Interest related to the ARD Mortgage Loans and/or any successor REO Mortgage Loans with respect thereto included in the Mortgage Pool shall be deemed to have been deposited into the Class V Sub-Account, and the remaining portion thereof shall be deemed to have been deposited into the REMIC Sub-Account. In addition, all amounts deposited into the Distribution Account shall be deemed to have been deposited into the REMIC Sub-Account, except that (a) any portion of a Master Servicer Remittance Amount that represents any Post-ARD Additional Interest related to the ARD Mortgage Loans and/or any successor REO Mortgage Loans with respect thereto shall be deemed to have been deposited into the Class V Sub-Account and (b) any amounts deposited into the Distribution Account by the Certificate Administrator pursuant to Section 3.06 in connection with losses incurred with respect to Permitted Investments of funds held in the Distribution Account shall be deemed to have been deposited into the Class V Sub-Account

(c)           The Certificate Administrator shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (collectively, the “Interest Reserve Account”) to be held on behalf and in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders. Each account that constitutes the Interest Reserve Account shall be an Eligible Account or a sub-account of the Distribution Account. On the Distribution Date in January (except during a leap year) and February of each calendar year, commencing in 2015, prior to any distributions being made with respect to the Certificates on such Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall, with respect to each Interest Reserve Loan, withdraw from the Distribution Account and deposit in the Interest Reserve Account an amount equal to the Interest Reserve Amount, if any, in respect of such Interest Reserve Loan for such Distribution Date; provided that no such transfer of monies from the Distribution Account to the Interest Reserve Account shall be made on the Final Distribution Date. The Certificate Administrator shall also deposit in the Interest Reserve Account from its own funds any amounts required to be deposited by the Certificate Administrator pursuant to Section 3.06 in connection with losses incurred with respect to Permitted Investments of funds held in the Interest Reserve Account.


 


Notwithstanding that the Interest Reserve Account may be a sub-account of the Distribution Account for reasons of administrative convenience, the Interest Reserve Account and the Distribution Account shall, for all purposes of this Agreement (including the obligations and responsibilities of the Certificate Administrator hereunder), be considered to be and shall be required to be treated as, separate and distinct accounts.


 


(d)           If any Excess Liquidation Proceeds are received, the Certificate Administrator shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (collectively, the “Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account”) to be held on behalf and in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders. Each account that constitutes the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account shall be an Eligible Account (or a separately identified sub-account of the Distribution Account, provided that for all purposes of this Agreement (including the obligations of the Certificate Administrator hereunder) such account shall be considered to be and shall be required to be treated as separate and distinct from the Distribution Account). On the Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall withdraw from its Collection Account and remit to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account all Excess Liquidation Proceeds received by it during the Collection Period ending on the Determination Date immediately prior to the Master Servicer Remittance Date. The Certificate Administrator shall also deposit in the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account from its own funds any amounts required to be deposited by the Certificate Administrator pursuant to Section 3.06 in connection with losses incurred with respect to Permitted Investments of funds held in the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account. For the avoidance of doubt, each of the Collection Accounts, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account, the REO Account, any Reserve Account, any Servicing Account, and the portion of the Distribution Account which is the REMIC Sub-Account in respect of REMIC I (including interest, if any, earned on the investment of funds in such accounts) will be owned by REMIC I; the Exchangeable Sub-Account (including interest, if any, earned on the investment of funds in such account) will be owned by the Grantor Trust Pool for the benefit of the Holders of the Exchangeable Certificates;

the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account (including interest, if any, earned on the investment of funds in such account) will be owned by the applicable Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) as described in Section 3.04(i); the Loss of Value Fund (including interest, if any, earned on the investment of funds in such account) will be owned by the applicable Mortgage Loan Sellers as described in Section 3.04(g); and the portion of the Distribution Account which is the Class V Sub-Account (including interest, if any, earned on the investment of funds in such account) will be owned by the Grantor Trust and its beneficial owners, the Class V Certificateholders, each for federal income tax purposes.


 


(e)            [Reserved.]


 


(f)           Funds in the Collection Account, the Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodian Account and the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account may be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.06. The Master Servicer shall give notice to the other parties hereto of the location of the Collection Account as of the Closing Date and of the new location of its Collection Account prior to any change thereof.


 


(g)           If any Loss of Value Payments are received in connection with a Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, pursuant to or as contemplated by Section 2.03(h) of this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (collectively, the “Loss of Value Reserve Fund”) to be held in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders, for purposes of holding such Loss of Value Payments. Each account that constitutes the Loss of Value Reserve Fund shall be an Eligible Account or a sub-account of an Eligible Account. The Special Servicer shall, upon receipt, deposit in the Loss of Value Reserve Fund all Loss of Value Payments received by it. The Loss of Value Reserve Fund shall be accounted for as an outside reserve fund within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(h) and not an asset of any REMIC Pool. Furthermore, for all federal tax purposes, the Certificate Administrator shall (i) treat amounts paid out of the Loss of Value Reserve Fund through the Collection Account to the Certificateholders as damages paid to and distributed by the REMIC Pools on account of a breach of a representation or warranty by the related Mortgage Loan Seller and (ii) treat any amounts paid out of the Loss of Value Reserve Fund through the Collection Account to a Mortgage Loan Seller as distributions by the Trust Fund to such Mortgage Loan Seller as beneficial owner of the Loss of Value Reserve Fund. The applicable Mortgage Loan Seller will be the beneficial owner of the related account in the Loss of Value Reserve Fund for all federal income tax purposes, and shall be taxable on all income earned thereon.


 


(h)           Any applicable Master Servicer that is servicing a Serviced Loan Combination shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received by it in connection with the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan separate and apart from its own funds and general assets. In connection therewith, if there is one or more Serviced Loan Combinations related to this Trust, the related Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more segregated accounts (each, a “Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account”), in which the funds described below are to be deposited and held on behalf of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) (and which accounts may be maintained as separately identified sub-accounts of the Collection Account, provided that for all purposes of this

Agreement (including the obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder) such accounts shall be considered to be and shall be required to be treated as separate and distinct from the Collection Account). Any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account shall be an Eligible Account or a sub-account of an Eligible Account. The Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account, within one (1) Business Day of receipt by it of properly identified funds or as otherwise required hereunder, the following payments and collections received or made by or on behalf of the Master Servicer in respect of the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loans subsequent to the Closing Date:


 


(i)        all payments (from whatever source) on account of principal of any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, including Principal Prepayments;


 


(ii)       all payments (from whatever source) on account of interest on any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, including Default Interest;


 


(iii)      all Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges received in respect of any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan;


 


(iv)      all Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds received in respect of, and allocable as interest (including Default Interest) on, principal of or Prepayment Premiums or Yield Maintenance Charges with respect to, any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (or any successor REO Mortgage Loan with respect thereto);

(vii)     any amounts required to be transferred to the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account from the related REO Account pursuant to Section 3.16(c); and


 


(viii)    any other amounts received and applied on any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement.


 


Notwithstanding the foregoing requirements, the Master Servicer need not deposit into the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account any amount that the Master Servicer would be authorized to withdraw immediately from the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account in accordance with the terms of Section 3.05 and shall be entitled to instead pay such amount directly to the Person(s) entitled thereto.


 


The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account shall be exclusive. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

The Master Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Special Servicer any of the foregoing items received by it with respect to any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, if and to the extent that such items constitute Additional Special Servicing Compensation with respect to any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan. If the Master Servicer shall deposit in the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.


 


Upon receipt of any of the amounts described in clauses (i) through (iv) of the first paragraph of this Section 3.04(h), the Special Servicer shall promptly, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days after receipt, remit such amounts to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account, unless the Special Servicer determines, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that a particular item should not be deposited because of a restrictive endorsement or because of another appropriate reason that is consistent with the Servicing Standard. With respect to any such amounts paid by check to the order of the Special Servicer, the Special Servicer shall endorse such check to the order of the Master Servicer (in its capacity as such), without recourse, representation or warranty, unless the Special Servicer determines, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that a particular item cannot be so endorsed and delivered because of a restrictive endorsement or because of another appropriate reason that is consistent with the Servicing Standard. Any such amounts received by the Special Servicer with respect to an Administered REO Property relating to the applicable Serviced Loan Combination shall be deposited by the Special Servicer into the related REO Account and, insofar as such amounts are allocable as interest on, principal of, or Prepayment Premiums or Yield Maintenance Charges with respect to any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan or any successor REO Mortgage Loan with respect thereto, shall be remitted to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3.16(c) (subject to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement).

(i)           To the extent of any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder’s interest therein, the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account shall be treated as an “outside reserve fund” within the meaning of the REMIC Provisions, beneficially owned by any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s), who shall be liable for any tax on its share of any reinvestment income thereon, and who shall be deemed to receive any related reimbursements from the Trust Fund.


 


(j)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, with respect to each Due Date and any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, within one (1) Business Day after the related Determination Date, the Master Servicer shall remit, from amounts on deposit in the

If amounts on deposit in the Collection Account at any particular time (after withdrawing any portion of such amounts deposited in the Collection Account in error) are insufficient to satisfy all payments, reimbursements and remittances to be made therefrom as set forth in clauses (ii) through (xxi) of the first paragraph of this Section 3.05(a)(I), then the corresponding withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made in the following priority and subject to the following rules: (x) if the payment, reimbursement or remittance is to be made from a specific source of funds, then such payment, reimbursement or remittance shall be made from that specific source of funds on a pro rata basis with any and all other payments, reimbursements and remittances to be made from such specific source of funds; and (y) if the payment, reimbursement or remittance can be made from any funds on deposit in the Collection Account, then (following any withdrawals made from the Collection Account in accordance with the immediately preceding clause (x) of this sentence) such payment, reimbursement or remittance shall be made from the general funds remaining on deposit in the Collection Account on a pro rata basis with any and all other payments, reimbursements or remittances to be made from such general funds; provided that any reimbursements of Advances in respect of any particular Mortgage Loan or REO Property out of the Collection Account pursuant to any of clauses (ii), (v) and (vi) of the first paragraph of this Section 3.05(a)(I), and any payments of interest thereon out of the Collection Account pursuant to either of clauses (vii) and (viii) of the first paragraph of this Section 3.05(a)(I), shall be made (to the extent of their respective entitlements to such reimbursements and/or payments): first, to the Trustee; and second, pro rata, to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer.


 


The Master Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting records, on a loan-by-loan and property-by-property basis when appropriate, in connection with any withdrawal from its Collection Account pursuant to any of clauses (ii) through (xviii) of the first paragraph of this Section 3.05(a)(I).


 


The Master Servicer shall pay to the Special Servicer, and, subject to Section 3.01(h)(i), the Non-Trust Master Servicer, the Non-Trust Special Servicer, the Non-Trust Certificate Administrator or the Non-Trust Trustee, as applicable, from its Collection Account on each Master Servicer Remittance Date amounts permitted to be paid to the Special Servicer, the

Non-Trust Master Servicer, the Non-Trust Special Servicer, the Non-Trust Certificate Administrator or the Non-Trust Trustee, as applicable, therefrom based upon an Officer’s Certificate received from the Special Servicer, the Non-Trust Master Servicer, the Non-Trust Special Servicer, the Non-Trust Certificate Administrator or the Non-Trust Trustee, as applicable, on the first Business Day following the immediately preceding Determination Date, describing the item and amount to which the Special Servicer, the Non-Trust Master Servicer, the Non-Trust Special Servicer, the Non-Trust Certificate Administrator or the Non-Trust Trustee, as applicable, 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 Mortgage Loan and REO Property as to which it is the Special Servicer on a loan-by-loan and property-by-property basis, for the purpose of justifying any request thereby for withdrawal from the Collection Account.


 


Subsection (II). The provisions of this subsection (II) of this Section 3.05(a) shall apply notwithstanding any contrary provision of subsection (I) of this Section 3.05(a):


 


(i)        Identification of Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts: If any Advance made with respect to any Mortgage Loan on or before the date on which such Mortgage 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 theretofore accrued and unpaid) Advance Interest thereon, is not pursuant to the operation of the provisions of Section 3.05(a)(I) reimbursed to the Person who made such Advance on or before the date, if any, on which such Mortgage Loan becomes a Corrected Mortgage Loan (or, but for the making of three monthly payments under its modified terms, would constitute a Mortgage Loan that is a Corrected Mortgage Loan), such Advance, together with such Advance Interest, shall constitute a “Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount” to the extent that such amount has not been determined to constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. All references herein to “Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount” shall be construed always to mean the related Advance and (to the extent theretofore accrued and unpaid) any Advance Interest thereon, together with (to the extent it remains unpaid) any further Advance Interest that accrues on the unreimbursed portion of such Advance from time to time in accordance with the other provisions of this Agreement. That any amount constitutes all or a portion of any Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount shall not in any manner limit the right of any Person hereunder to determine that such amount instead constitutes a Nonrecoverable Advance.


 


(ii)       General Relationship of Provisions. Subsection (iii) below (subject to the terms, conditions and limitations thereof) sets forth the terms of and conditions to the right of a Person to be reimbursed for any Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount to the extent that such Person is not otherwise entitled to reimbursement and payment of such Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount pursuant to the operation of Section 3.05(a)(I) above (construed without regard to the reference therein to this subsection except that it is nonetheless hereby acknowledged that, for purposes of “Late Collections” in Section 3.05(a)(I), funds received on the related Mortgage Loan shall be applied in accordance with the terms of the applicable modification even though such 


 




  





-179-











  






 


application may result in an Advance continuing to be outstanding when the Borrower is current in its payments under the terms of the Mortgage Loan as modified). Subsection (iv) below (subject to the terms, conditions and limitations thereof) authorizes or permits the Master Servicer, under certain circumstances, to abstain from reimbursing itself (or, if applicable, the Trustee to abstain from obtaining reimbursement) for Nonrecoverable Advances at its sole option. Upon any determination that all or any portion of a Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount constitutes a Nonrecoverable Advance, then the reimbursement or payment of such amount (and any further Advance Interest that may accrue thereon) shall cease to be subject to the operation of subsection (iii) below, such amount (and further Advance Interest) shall be as fully payable and reimbursable to the relevant Person as would any other Nonrecoverable Advance (and Advance Interest thereon) and, as a Nonrecoverable Advance, such amount may become the subject of the Master Servicer’s (or, if applicable, the Trustee’s) exercise of its sole option authorized by subsection (iv) below.


 


(iii)       Reimbursements of Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts: The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement and payment (and, notwithstanding any contrary provision of subsection (I) above, shall be entitled to withdraw and pay to itself the amount of such reimbursement and payment) for all Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts in each Collection Period (and it is again hereby acknowledged that, for purposes of “Late Collections” in Section 3.05(a)(I), funds received on the related Mortgage Loan shall be applied in accordance with the terms of the applicable modification even though such application may result in an Advance continuing to be outstanding when the Borrower is current in its payments under the terms of the Mortgage Loan as modified); provided that the aggregate amount (for all such Persons collectively) of such reimbursements and payments from amounts advanced or collected on the Mortgage Pool in such Collection Period shall not exceed (and the reimbursement and payment shall be made from) the aggregate principal portions of P&I Advances and principal collections and recoveries on the Mortgage Pool for such Collection Period contemplated by clauses (i) through (v) of the definition of “Unadjusted Principal Distribution Amount”, net of the aggregate deduction amounts for Nonrecoverable Advances (and accrued and unpaid Advance Interest thereon) that were reimbursed or paid during the related Collection Period from principal collections on the Mortgage Pool, as described by clause (II)(B) of the definition of “Principal Distribution Amount” and pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(II)(iv). As and to the extent provided in clause (II)(A) of the definition thereof, the Principal Distribution Amount for the Distribution Date related to such Collection Period shall be reduced to the extent that such payment or reimbursement of a Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount is made from aggregate principal collections pursuant to the preceding sentence.


 


Any collections (as applied under Section 1.03) received on or in respect of the Mortgage Loans during a Collection Period that, in each case, represents a delinquent amount as to which an Advance had been made, which Advance was previously reimbursed during the Collection Period for a prior Distribution Date as part of a Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount, shall be added to and constitute a part of the Principal Distribution Amount for the related Distribution Date (pursuant to clause (I)(B) of the definition of “Principal Distribution 


 




  





-180-











  






 


Amount”) to the extent of all Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts on or in respect of such respective Mortgage Loan that were reimbursed from collections of principal on the Mortgage Pool in all prior Collection Periods pursuant to the preceding paragraph.


 


The Certificate Administrator (and, with respect to Advances made by the Master Servicer or the Trustee) shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon any direction or notice received from the Master Servicer in connection with any determination made by the Master Servicer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.05(a)(II)(iii) and shall not be obligated to independently verify, monitor or oversee any such determination.


 


(iv)       Sole Option to Abstain from Reimbursements of Certain Nonrecoverable Advances. To the extent that Section 3.05(a)(I) entitles the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee to reimbursement for any Nonrecoverable Advance (or payment of Advance Interest thereon from a source other than Default Charges on the related Mortgage Loan) during any Collection Period, then, notwithstanding any contrary provision of subsection (I) above, (a) to the extent that one or more such reimbursements and payments of Nonrecoverable Advances (and such Advance Interest thereon) are made, they shall be made, first, from the aggregate principal portions of P&I Advances and principal collections and recoveries on the Mortgage Pool for such Collection Period contemplated by clauses (i) through (v) of the definition of “Unadjusted Principal Distribution Amount”, and then from other amounts advanced or collected on the Mortgage Pool for such Collection Period; provided that, if so provided as set forth below, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall provide each Rating Agency with at least fifteen (15) days’ notice before any reimbursement shall be made of a Nonrecoverable Advance (or payment of Advance Interest thereon from a source other than Default Charges on the related Mortgage Loan from such other amounts advanced or collected on the Mortgage Pool for such Collection Period, and (b) if and to the extent that the amount of such a Nonrecoverable Advance (and Advance Interest thereon), together with all Nonrecoverable Advances (and Advance Interest thereon) theretofore reimbursed during such Collection Period, would exceed the aggregate principal portions of P&I Advances and principal collections and recoveries on the Mortgage Pool for such Collection Period contemplated by clauses (i) through (v) of the definition of “Unadjusted Principal Distribution Amount”, the Master Servicer and/or the Trustee, as applicable, if it made the relevant Advance) is hereby authorized (but shall not be construed to have any obligation whatsoever), if it elects at its sole option and in its sole discretion, to abstain from reimbursing itself or obtaining reimbursement (notwithstanding that it is entitled to such reimbursement) during that Collection Period for all or a portion of such Nonrecoverable Advance (and Advance Interest thereon), for successive one-month periods for a total period not to exceed twelve (12) months; provided that any such deferral exceeding six (6) months shall require (during a Subordinate Control Period) the consent of the Subordinate Class Representative; provided, further, that the aggregate amount that is the subject of the exercise of such option with respect to all Nonrecoverable Advances (and Advance Interest thereon) with respect to all Mortgage Loans for any particular Collection Period is less than or equal to such excess described above in this clause (b). If the Master Servicer (or the Trustee, as applicable) makes such an election at its sole option to defer reimbursement with respect to all or a portion of a Nonrecoverable Advance (and 


 




  





-181-











  






 


Advance Interest thereon), then such Nonrecoverable Advance (and Advance Interest thereon) or portion thereof shall continue to be fully reimbursable in any subsequent Collection Period. In connection with a potential election by the Master Servicer (or the Trustee, as applicable) to abstain from the reimbursement of a particular Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof during the Collection Period for any Distribution Date, the Master Servicer (or the Trustee, as applicable) shall further be authorized to wait for principal collections to be received before making its determination of whether to abstain from the reimbursement of a particular Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof. The Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall give the Rating Agencies at least fifteen (15) days’ notice (subject to Section 3.27) prior to any reimbursement to it of Nonrecoverable Advances from amounts in the Collection Account or Distribution Account, as applicable, allocable to interest on the Mortgage Loans unless (1) the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, determines in its sole discretion that waiting fifteen (15) days after such a notice could jeopardize its ability to recover such Nonrecoverable Advances, (2) changed circumstances or new or different information becomes known to the Master Servicer or Trustee, as applicable, that could affect or cause a determination of whether any Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance or whether to defer reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance or the determination in clause (1) above, or (3) the Master Servicer has not timely received from the Trustee information requested by the Master Servicer to consider in determining whether to defer reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance; provided that, if any of clause (1), clause (2) or clause (3) above apply, the Master Servicer or Trustee, as applicable, shall give each Rating Agency notice (subject to Section 3.27) of an anticipated reimbursement to it of Nonrecoverable Advances from amounts in the Collection Account or Distribution Account, as applicable, allocable to interest on the Mortgage Loans as soon as reasonably practicable in such circumstances. The Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall have no liability for any loss, liability or expenses resulting from any notice provided to the Rating Agencies contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence.


 


Any collections (as applied under Section 1.03) received on the Mortgage Loans during a Collection Period that, in each case, represents a recovery of an amount determined in a prior Collection Period to have been a Nonrecoverable Advance shall be added to and constitute a part of the Principal Distribution Amount for the related Distribution Date (pursuant to clause (I)(C) of the definition of “Principal Distribution Amount”) to the extent of all Nonrecoverable Advances on such respective Mortgage Loan that were reimbursed from collections of principal on the Mortgage Pool in all prior Collection Periods pursuant to the preceding paragraph.


 


None of the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall have any liability whatsoever for making an election, or refraining from making an election, that is authorized under this subsection (II)(iv). 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 subsection (II)(iv) or to comply with the terms of this subsection (II)(iv) and the other provisions of this Agreement that apply once such an election, if any, has been made.


 




  





-182-











  






 


Any election by the Master Servicer (or the Trustee, as applicable) to abstain from reimbursing itself for any Nonrecoverable Advance (and Advance Interest thereon) or portion thereof with respect to any Collection Period shall not be construed to impose on the Master Servicer (or the Trustee, as applicable) any obligation to make such an election (or any entitlement in favor of any Certificateholder or any other Person to such an election) with respect to any subsequent Collection Period or to constitute a waiver or limitation on the right of the Master Servicer (or the Trustee, as applicable) to otherwise be reimbursed for such Nonrecoverable Advance (and Advance Interest thereon). Any such election by one of the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall not be construed to impose any duty on any other such party to make such an election (or any entitlement in favor of any Certificateholder or any other Person to such an election). Any such election by any such party to abstain 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 Advance Interest on such Nonrecoverable Advance for the period prior to the actual reimbursement of such Nonrecoverable Advance. None of the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the other parties to this Agreement shall have any liability to one another or to any of the Certificateholders or any of the Companion Loan Holders for any such election that such party makes to defer or not to defer reimbursement as contemplated by this subsection or for any losses, damages or other adverse economic or other effects that may arise from such an election, nor shall such election constitute a violation of the Servicing Standard or any duty under this Agreement. The foregoing statements in this paragraph shall not limit the generality of the statements made in the immediately preceding paragraph.


 


The Certificate Administrator (and, with respect to Advances made by the Master Servicer and the Trustee) shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon any direction or notice received from the Master Servicer in connection with any determination made by the Master Servicer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.05(a)(II)(iv) and shall not be obligated to independently verify, monitor or oversee any such determination.


 


(v)           Deferral is Not Subordination. No determination by the Master Servicer (or the Trustee, as applicable) to exercise its sole option to defer the reimbursement of Advances and/or Advance Interest under subsection (iv) above shall be construed as an agreement by the Master Servicer (or the Trustee, as applicable) to subordinate (in respect of realizing losses), to any Class of Certificates, such party’s right to such reimbursement during such period of deferral.


 


(b)           The Certificate Administrator shall, from time to time, make withdrawals from the Distribution Account for each of the following purposes (the order set forth below not constituting an order of priority for such withdrawals):


 


(i)            to make distributions to the Holders of the Regular Certificates and the Class A-S, Class B, and Class C Regular Interests on each Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01;


 


(ii)          to transfer Interest Reserve Amounts in respect of the Interest Reserve Loans to the Interest Reserve Account as and when required by Section 3.04(c);

(iii)          to pay itself, the Tax Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Trust Advisor or any of their respective directors, officers, members, managers, employees and agents, as the case may be, any amounts payable to any such Person pursuant to Section 6.03, Section 7.01(b) or Section 8.05(b), as applicable, if and to the extent such amounts are not payable out of the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05(c); provided that in the case of the Trust Advisor, no such amount may be withdrawn by the Certificate Administrator and paid to the Trust Advisor unless the conditions set forth in the proviso to Section 3.05(a)(I)(xiv) are satisfied;


 


(iv)          to pay any and all federal, state and local taxes imposed on any REMIC Pool or on the assets or transactions of any REMIC Pool, together with all incidental costs and expenses, and any and all expenses relating to tax audits, if and to the extent that either (A) none of the parties hereto are liable therefor pursuant to Section 10.01(b) and/or Section 10.01(f) or (B) any such Person that may be so liable has failed to timely make the required payment;


 


(v)           to pay for the cost of the Opinions of Counsel as contemplated by Section 12.01(a) or Section 12.01(c) in connection with any amendment to this Agreement requested by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator which amendment is in furtherance of the rights and interests of Certificateholders;


 


(vi)          to pay itself Net Investment Earnings earned on funds in the Distribution Account for each Collection Period;


 


(vii)         to pay for the cost of recording this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.02(a);


 


(viii)        to pay to any party hereto any amounts deposited or remitted by such Person for deposit into the Distribution Account in error; and


 


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


 


(c)           On the Master Servicer Remittance Date in March of each year (commencing in March 2015) and in any event on the Master Servicer Remittance Date that occurs in the same calendar month as the Final Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall withdraw from the Interest Reserve Account and deposit in the Distribution Account all Interest Reserve Amounts in respect of the Interest Reserve Loans then on deposit in the Interest Reserve Account. In addition, the Certificate Administrator shall, from time to time, make withdrawals from the Interest Reserve Account to pay itself interest or other income earned on deposits in the Interest Reserve Account, in accordance with Section 3.06(b) (but only to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings, if any, with respect to the Interest Reserve Account for each Collection Period).


 


(d)           On the Business Day prior to each Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall withdraw from the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account and deposit in the Distribution Account, for distribution on such Distribution Date, an amount equal to the lesser of 


 




  





-184-











  






 


(i) the entire amount of Excess Liquidation Proceeds, if any, then on deposit in the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account and (ii) the excess, if any, of the aggregate amount distributable on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01(a), over the Available Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date (calculated without regard to such transfer from the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account to the Distribution Account); provided that on the Business Day prior to the Final Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall withdraw from the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account and deposit in the Distribution Account, for distribution on such Distribution Date, any and all Excess Liquidation Proceeds then on deposit in the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account. In addition, the Certificate Administrator shall, from time to time, make withdrawals from the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account to pay itself interest or other income earned on deposits in the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account, in accordance with Section 3.06(b) (but only to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings, if any, with respect to the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account for each Collection Period).


 


(e)           The Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and, subject to Section 4.05(b) with respect to any Trust Advisor Expenses, the Trust Advisor, as applicable, shall in all cases have a right prior to the Certificateholders to any particular funds on deposit in the Collection Account and the Distribution Account from time to time for the reimbursement or payment of compensation, Advances (with interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate) and their respective expenses hereunder, but only if and to the extent such compensation, Advances (with such interest) and expenses are to be reimbursed or paid from such particular funds on deposit in the Collection Account or the Distribution Account pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement.


 


(f)           The Master Servicer may, from time to time, make withdrawals from the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account for any of the following purposes (the order set forth below not constituting an order of priority for such withdrawals):


 


(i)           to remit to any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder the amounts to which such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder is entitled in accordance with Section 3.04(j), as and when required by such paragraph;

(v)           to reimburse itself, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, for any unreimbursed Servicing Advances made thereby (in each case, with its own funds) with respect to any related Serviced Loan Combination or any related REO Property (but only to the extent that amounts specifically allocable to such purpose have not been deposited in the Collection Account);


 


(vi)          to pay itself, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, any Advance Interest then due and owing to such Person with respect to any Servicing Advance made by such Person (out of its own funds) with respect to any related Serviced Loan Combination or any successor REO Mortgage Loan with respect thereto;


 


(vii)         to pay itself any items of Additional Master Servicing Compensation, and to pay to the Special Servicer any items of Additional Special Servicing Compensation with respect to any related Serviced Loan Combination, in each case on deposit in such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account from time to time, and to pay to the Trust Advisor any Trust Advisor Consulting Fee then due and payable to the Trust Advisor with respect to any related Serviced Loan Combination, the Trust Advisor’s right to payment pursuant to this clause (vii) with respect to such Serviced Loan Combination being limited to amounts on deposit in such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account that represent collections of such fee from the related Borrower in accordance with the other provisions of this Agreement;

-186-











  






 


(xii)         to pay to itself, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Depositor, as the case may be, any amount specifically required to be paid to such Person at the expense of any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) under any provision of this Agreement or the related Intercreditor Agreement to which reference is not made in any other clause of this Section 3.05(f), it being acknowledged that this clause (xii) shall not be construed to modify any limitation otherwise set forth in this Agreement on the time at which any Person is entitled to payment or reimbursement of any amount or the funds from which any such payment or reimbursement is permitted to be made;


 


(xiii)        to withdraw any amount and pay to the Person entitled thereto any amount deposited in such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account in error; and


 


(xiv)        to clear and terminate such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account at the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01 or at such time as any related Serviced Loan Combination or any related REO Property is no longer serviced hereunder.


 


provided that in connection with any expense, cost, reimbursement or other amount otherwise permitted to be withdrawn from a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account pursuant to clause (v) (relating to Servicing Advances), clause (vi) (relating to Advance Interest on Servicing Advances), clause (viii) (relating to Liquidation Expenses), clause (ix) (relating to Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances), clause (x) (relating to certain environmental expenses) or clause (xi) (relating to certain indemnification and similar expenses), other than (in the case of such clause (xi)) Trust Advisor Expenses, such payment shall be made from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account (withdrawals from the Collection Account and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account shall be made pro rata according to the related Intercreditor Agreement and based on the respective outstanding principal balances of the related Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) from related funds prior to payment from funds in the Collection Account that are unrelated to such Serviced Loan Combination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, obtains funds from the Collection Account that are unrelated to a Serviced Loan Combination as a reimbursement for a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance or any Advance Interest on a Servicing Advance or a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance relating to a Serviced Loan Combination, the parties acknowledge that any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder shall, if and to the extent required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, promptly following notice from the Master Servicer, reimburse the Trust Fund for its pro rata share of such Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance or Advance Interest.


 


Notwithstanding any contrary provision above, any reimbursements of Servicing Advances out of such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account shall be made (to the extent of their respective entitlements to such reimbursements and/or payments): first, to the Trustee; second, to the Special Servicer; and third, to the Master Servicer.


 


The Master Servicer shall pay to the Special Servicer from any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account amounts permitted to be paid to the Special Servicer therefrom in respect of Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees or otherwise, such 


 




  





-187-











  






 


payment to be based upon a written statement of the Special Servicer describing the item and amount to which the Special Servicer is entitled; provided that no written statement is required for a payment of Special Servicing Fees and/or Workout Fees arising from collections other than the initial collection on a Corrected Mortgage Loan. The Master Servicer may rely conclusively on any such statement and shall have no duty to re-calculate the amounts stated therein.


 


The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trust Advisor, as applicable, shall in all cases have a right prior to any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) to any particular funds on deposit in a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account from time to time for the reimbursement or payment of compensation, Servicing Advances (with interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate) and their respective expenses hereunder, but only if and to the extent such compensation, Servicing Advances (with interest) and expenses are to be reimbursed or paid from such funds on deposit in such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement and/or the related Intercreditor Agreement.


 


(g)            [Reserved.]


 


(h)           If any Loss of Value Payments are deposited into the Loss of Value Reserve Fund with respect to any Mortgage Loan or any related REO Property, then the Special Servicer shall, promptly upon written direction from the Master Servicer (provided that, (1) with respect to clause (iv) below, the Special Servicer shall have provided notice to the Master Servicer of the occurrence of such Liquidation Event and (2) with respect to clause (v) below, the Certificate Administrator shall have provided the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer with five Business Days’ prior notice of such final Distribution Date), transfer such Loss of Value Payments (up to the remaining portion thereof) from the Loss of Value Reserve Fund to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account for the following purposes:


 


(i)            to reimburse the Master Servicer or the Trustee, in accordance with Section 3.05(a) of this Agreement, for any Nonrecoverable Advance made by such party with respect to such Mortgage Loan or any related REO Property (together with Advance Interest);


 


(ii)           to pay, in accordance with Section 3.05(a) of this Agreement, or to reimburse the Trust for the prior payment of, any expense relating to such Mortgage Loan or any related 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 that are attributable to such Mortgage Loan or related REO Property (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 Mortgage Loan;


 


(iv)          following the occurrence of a Liquidation Event with respect to such Mortgage Loan or any related 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) above as to such Mortgage Loan, to cover the items contemplated by the

immediately preceding clauses (i) - (iii) in respect of any other Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan; and


 


(v)           on the final Distribution Date after all distributions have been made as set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above, to each Mortgage Loan Seller, its pro rata share, based on the amount that it contributed, net of any amount contributed by such Mortgage Loan Seller that was used pursuant to clauses (i) - (iii) to offset any portion of Realized Losses that are attributable to such Mortgage Loan or related REO Property, Additional Trust Fund Expenses or any Nonrecoverable Advances incurred with respect to the Mortgage Loan related to such contribution.


 


Any Loss of Value Payments transferred to the Collection Account pursuant to clauses (i) - (iii) of the prior paragraph shall be treated as Liquidation Proceeds Received by the Trust in respect of the related Mortgage Loan or any successor REO Mortgage Loan with respect thereto for which such Loss of Value Payments were received; and any Loss of Value Payments transferred to the Collection Account pursuant to clause (iv) of the prior paragraph shall be treated as Liquidation Proceeds Received by the Trust in respect of the Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan for which such Loss of Value Payments are being transferred to the Collection Account to cover an item contemplated by clauses (i) - (iii) of the prior paragraph.


 


(i)            With respect to any Serviced Loan Combination, if amounts required to pay the compensation, fees, costs, expenses or reimbursement incurred in connection with the servicing and administration of any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan exceed amounts on deposit in the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account and the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trust Advisor or the Trustee, as applicable, have sought reimbursement from the Trust Fund with respect to such expenses allocable to such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, then the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall use efforts in accordance with the Servicing Standard to exercise promptly the rights of the Trust Fund under the related Intercreditor Agreement to obtain reimbursement from the holder of any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan for that holder’s pro rata share of the expense.


 


Section 3.06     Investment of Funds in the Accounts. (a) The Master Servicer may direct (pursuant to a standing order or otherwise) any depositary institution (including the Certificate Administrator) that holds its Collection Account, the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account, any Servicing Account or any Reserve Account, in each case, maintained by it, the Special Servicer may direct (pursuant to a standing order or otherwise) any depositary institution (including the Certificate Administrator) that holds the REO Account and any Loss of Value Reserve Fund, and the Certificate Administrator may direct (pursuant to a standing order or otherwise) any depositary institution that holds the Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account or the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account to invest, or if any of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator, as appropriate, is such depositary institution, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, may invest itself, the funds held therein in (but only in) one or more Permitted Investments bearing interest or sold at a discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand, no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the next succeeding date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such Investment Account pursuant to this 


 




  





-189-











  






 


Agreement or the related Mortgage Loan Documents, as applicable, or with respect to Permitted Investments of funds held in the Distribution Account, no later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next succeeding Distribution Date; provided that any such investment of funds in any Servicing Account or Reserve Account shall be subject to applicable law and the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents; and provided, further, that the funds in any Investment Account shall remain uninvested unless and until the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator, as appropriate, gives timely investment instructions with respect thereto pursuant to or as contemplated by this Section 3.06. 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). The Master Servicer (with respect to Permitted Investments of amounts in its Collection Account, the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account, any Servicing Account or any Reserve Account, in each case, maintained by it), the Special Servicer (with respect to Permitted Investments of amounts in the REO Account), and the Certificate Administrator (with respect to Permitted Investments of amounts in the Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account or the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account) acting on behalf of the Trustee, shall (and the Trustee hereby designates the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, as the Person that shall) (i) be the “entitlement holder” of any Permitted Investment that is a “security entitlement” and (ii) maintain “control” of any Permitted Investment that is either a “certificated security” or an “uncertificated security”. For purposes of this Section 3.06(a), the terms “entitlement holder”, “security entitlement”, “control”, “certificated security” and “uncertificated security” shall have the meanings given such terms in Revised Article 8 (1994 Revision) of the UCC, and “control” of any Permitted Investment by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator shall constitute “control” by a Person designated by, and acting on behalf of, the Trustee for purposes of Revised Article 8 (1994 Revision) of the UCC. If amounts on deposit in an Investment Account are at any time invested in a Permitted Investment payable on demand, the party hereunder that maintains such Investment Account (whether it is the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator), 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 at least 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, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, that such Permitted Investment would not constitute a Permitted Investment in respect of funds thereafter on deposit in such Investment Account.


 


(b)           Whether or not the Master Servicer directs the investment of funds in any Investment Account (other than a Servicing Account or Reserve Account) maintained by it, interest and investment income realized on funds deposited therein, to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings, if any, for such Investment Account for each Collection Period, shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Master Servicer and shall be subject to its withdrawal in accordance with Section 3.05. Whether or not the Master Servicer directs the investment of 


 




  





-190-











  






 


funds in any Servicing Account or Reserve Account maintained by it, interest and investment income realized on funds deposited therein, to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings, if any, for such Investment Account for each Collection Period, and subject to the requirements of applicable law or the terms of the related Serviced Mortgage Loan(s) or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s) regarding the payment of such interest and investment income to the related Borrower, shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Master Servicer and shall be subject to withdrawal from time to time in accordance with Section 3.03. Whether or not the Special Servicer directs the investment of funds in the REO Account or the Loss of Value Reserve Fund, interest and investment income realized on funds deposited therein, to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings, if any, for such Investment Account for each Collection Period, shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Special Servicer and shall be subject to its withdrawal in accordance with Section 3.16(b). Whether or not the Certificate Administrator directs the investment of funds in the Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account or the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account, interest and investment income realized on funds deposited therein, to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings, if any, for each such Investment Account for each Collection Period, shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Certificate Administrator and shall be subject to its withdrawal in accordance with Section 3.05. If any loss shall be incurred in respect of any Permitted Investment on deposit in any Investment Account, the party hereunder that maintains such Investment Account (whether it is the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator), shall promptly deposit therein from its own funds, without right of reimbursement, no later than the end of the Collection Period during which such loss was incurred, the amount of the Net Investment Loss, if any, in respect of such Investment Account for such Collection Period (except, in the case of any such loss with respect to a Servicing Account or Reserve Account, to the extent the loss amounts were invested for the benefit of a Borrower under the terms of a Serviced Mortgage Loan, Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan or applicable law).


 


(c)           Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any default occurs in the making of any payment due (or in any other performance required) under any Permitted Investment of funds on deposit in any Investment Account, and if the party hereunder that maintains such Investment Account (whether it is the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator) is in default of its obligations under or contemplated by Section 3.06(b), the Trustee may and, subject to Section 8.02, upon the request of (i) Holders of Certificates entitled to not less than 25% of the Voting Rights allocated to any Class of Interest Only Certificates or Principal Balance Certificates or (ii) the Subordinate Class Representative or (iii) alternatively, but only if the Permitted Investment involves funds on deposit in a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account, any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) (it being understood that, for purposes of this clause (iii), Section 8.02 shall be construed as if references therein to one or more “Certificateholders” were instead references to such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder), the Trustee shall, take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate legal proceedings. Any costs incurred by the Trustee in taking any such action shall be reimbursed to it by the party hereunder that maintains such Investment Account (whether it is the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator). This provision is in no way intended to limit any actions that the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator may take in this regard at its own expense.

(d)           Notwithstanding the investment of funds held in any Investment Account, for purposes of the calculations hereunder, including the calculation of the Available Distribution Amount, the Master Servicer Remittance Amounts and the monthly amounts payable to the respective Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders, the amounts so invested shall be deemed to remain on deposit in such Investment Account.


 


Section 3.07     Maintenance of Insurance Policies; Errors and Omissions and Fidelity Coverage. (a) In the case of each Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, the Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the related Borrower to maintain (including identifying the extent to which a 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 having the Required Claims-Paying Ratings) for the related Mortgaged Property (x) 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 Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination or (ii) the outstanding principal balance of such Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, 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 damage resulting from acts of terrorism) as is required or (subject to the Servicing Standard) that the lender is entitled to reasonably require, subject to applicable law, under the related Mortgage Loan Documents; provided that all of the following conditions and/or limitations shall apply:


 


  (A)     the Master Servicer shall not be required to maintain any earthquake or environmental insurance policy on any Mortgaged Property securing a Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination unless such insurance policy was in effect at the time of the origination of such Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents and is available at commercially reasonable rates and the Trustee has an insurable interest;


 


  (B)      if and to the extent that any Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination 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 Servicer shall (to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard) use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the related Borrower to obtain the requisite insurance coverage from Qualified Insurers that, in each case, have the Required Claims-Paying Ratings at the time such insurance coverage is obtained;


 


  (C)      the Master Servicer shall have no obligation beyond using its reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the Borrower under any Serviced Mortgage Loan to maintain the insurance required to be maintained or that the lender is entitled to reasonably require, subject to applicable law, under the related Mortgage Loan Documents;


 




  





-192-











  






 


  (D)     in no event shall the Master Servicer be required to cause the Borrower under any Serviced Mortgage Loan to maintain, or itself obtain, insurance coverage that the Master Servicer has determined is either (i) not available at any rate or (ii) not available at commercially reasonable rates and the related hazards are not at the time commonly insured against at the then-available rates for properties similar to the related Mortgaged Property and located in or around the region in which the related Mortgaged Property is located;


 


  (E)       the reasonable efforts of the Master Servicer to cause the Borrower under any Serviced Mortgage Loan to maintain insurance shall be conducted in a manner that takes into account the insurance that would then be available to the Master Servicer on a force-placed basis; and


 


  (F)      to the extent the Master Servicer itself is required to maintain insurance that the Borrower under any Serviced Mortgage Loan does not maintain, the Master Servicer shall not be required to maintain insurance other than what is available to the Master Servicer on a force-placed basis (and this will not be construed to modify the other limits set forth in clause (D) above).


 


Notwithstanding the limitation set forth in clause (D) above, if the related Borrower under any Serviced Mortgage Loan fails to maintain with respect to the related Mortgaged Property (i) specific casualty insurance coverage providing for “special” form coverage that does not specifically exclude, terrorist or similar acts, and/or (ii) specific insurance coverage with respect to damages or casualties caused by terrorist or similar acts, the Master Servicer shall cause the related Borrower to maintain, or itself obtain, such insurance upon terms not materially less favorable than those in place as of the Closing Date, unless the Special Servicer has determined in its reasonable judgment based on inquiry consistent with the Servicing Standard, and (during any Subordinate Control Period) with the consent of the Subordinate Class Representative or (during any Collective Consultation Period or Senior Consultation Period) after having consulted with the Trust Advisor and (during any Collective Consultation Period) the Subordinate Class Representative, that either (a) such insurance is not available at commercially reasonable rates and that such hazards are not at the time commonly insured against for properties similar to the related Mortgaged Property and located in or around the region in which such related Mortgaged Property is located, or (b) such insurance is not available at any rate (failure to maintain required insurance due to either of clause (a) or (b) is referred to herein as an “Acceptable Insurance Default”). The Subordinate Class Representative and/or Trust Advisor, as applicable, will have no more than thirty (30) days to respond to the Special Servicer’s request for such consent or consultation; provided that upon the Special Servicer’s determination, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that exigent circumstances do not allow the Special Servicer to consult with the Subordinate Class Representative and/or Trust Advisor, the Special Servicer will not be required to do so. If any such approval of the Special Servicer has not been expressly denied within ninety (90) days of the Special Servicer’s receipt from the Master Servicer of the Master Servicer’s determination and analysis and all information reasonably requested thereby and reasonably available to the Master Servicer in order to make an informed decision, such approval shall be deemed to have been granted. If the Special Servicer is in the process of making a determination described above in this paragraph, then, during the period of such evaluation by the Special Servicer (or, to the extent applicable, during the period 


 




  





-193-











  






 


that the Special Servicer is obtaining the consent of the Subordinate Class Representative or consulting with the Trust Advisor and/or the Subordinate Class Representative, as applicable), the Master Servicer shall not be liable for any loss related to its failure to require the related Borrower to maintain terrorism insurance and shall not be in default of its obligations hereunder as a result of such failure to maintain terrorism insurance.


 


The Master Servicer shall notify the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Subordinate Class Representative and the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder and (if a Serviced Loan Combination is involved) the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) if the Master Servicer determines that any Borrower under a Serviced Mortgage Loan has failed to maintain insurance required under (or that the Master Servicer has required pursuant to a provision that entitles the lender to reasonably require insurance under) the related Mortgage Loan Documents and such failure materially and adversely affects such Mortgage Loan and/or the interest of the Trust in the related Mortgaged Property or if any Borrower under a Serviced Mortgage Loan has notified the Master Servicer in writing that such Borrower does not intend to maintain such insurance and the Master Servicer has determined that such failure materially and adversely affects such Mortgage Loan and/or the interest of the Trust in the related Mortgaged Property.


 


(b)           Subject to Sections 3.17(b), and/or 3.24, as applicable, with respect to each Administered REO Property, the Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts, consistent with the Servicing Standard, to maintain with Qualified Insurers having the Required Claims-Paying Ratings (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 (i) the full replacement cost of improvements at such Administered REO Property or (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the related REO Mortgage Loan, 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 $1,000,000 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 twelve (12) months (or at least eighteen (18) months, in the case of an Administered REO Property whose related REO Mortgage Loan (or, if applicable, any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan that is a predecessor to such REO Mortgage Loan) had an initial principal balance exceeding $35,000,000), in each case if so required pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Documents; provided that the Special Servicer shall be required to maintain or obtain the insurance coverage otherwise described above unless the Trustee does not have an insurable interest or to the extent that the coverage is not available at commercially reasonable rates or that requiring or maintaining such coverage would not be consistent with the Servicing Standard.


 


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 (or the applicable sub-servicer) on behalf of the Trustee, in the case of insurance maintained in respect of a Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, or shall name the Trustee as the insured, with loss payable to the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trustee, in the case of insurance maintained in respect of an Administered REO Property. Any amounts collected by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, under any such 


 




  





-194-











  






 


policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property or amounts to be released to the related Borrower, in each case in accordance with the Servicing Standard) shall be deposited in the Collection Account or, to the extent the loss affects a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder, in the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account, as applicable, in each case as appropriate in accordance with Section 3.04, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.05, in the case of amounts received in respect of a Serviced Mortgage Loan, or in the REO Account of the Special Servicer, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.16(c), in the case of amounts received in respect of an Administered REO Property. Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for purposes hereof, including calculating monthly distributions to Certificateholders, be added to unpaid principal balance or Stated Principal Balance of the related Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, notwithstanding that the terms of such Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination so permit; provided that this sentence shall not limit the rights of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust (and, if applicable, any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders) to enforce any obligations of the related Borrower under such Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination. Costs to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer of maintaining insurance policies pursuant to this Section 3.07 shall (subject to Section 3.11(h) and Section 3.19(b)) be paid by, and reimbursable to, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, as a Servicing Advance.


 


(c)           If (i) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall obtain and maintain, or cause to be obtained and maintained, a blanket policy or master force-placed policy insuring against hazard losses on all of any Serviced Mortgage Loans, Serviced Loan Combinations or Administered REO Properties, as applicable, then, to the extent such policy (A) is obtained from a Qualified Insurer having the Required Claims-Paying Ratings, and (B) provides protection equivalent to the individual policies otherwise required herein and in the Mortgage Loan Documents or (ii) the Master Servicer or Special Servicer has long-term unsecured debt obligations that are rated not lower than “A (low)” by DBRS (or, if not rated by DBRS, an equivalent (or higher) rating by (A) at least any two other NRSROs (which may include Moody’s and/or Morningstar) or (B) one NRSRO (which may include Moody’s and/or Morningstar) and A.M. Best Company) and “A3” by Moody’s, (or, if not rated by Moody’s, at least “A-” by S&P (or, if not rated by S&P, an equivalent rating by (A) at least two NRSROs (which may include DBRS and/or Morningstar) or (B) one NRSRO (which may include DBRS and/or Morningstar) and A.M. Best Company)), or it has received a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to which such rating is not satisfied, and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, self-insures for its obligation to maintain the individual policies otherwise required, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligation to cause hazard insurance to be maintained on the related Mortgaged Properties or 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 the Special Servicer, as the case may be, whichever maintains such policy, shall, if there shall not have been maintained on any Mortgaged Property securing a Serviced Mortgage Loan, Serviced Loan Combination or any Administered REO Property thereunder a hazard insurance policy complying with the requirements of Section 3.07(a), 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, to 


 




  





-195-











  






 


the extent the loss affects any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s), in the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account, as applicable) maintained by the Master Servicer, from its own funds without any right of reimbursement from the Trust, 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 deductible limitation that pertained to the related Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination (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 the Special Servicer shall each prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and Certificateholders and, if applicable, any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders, 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.


 


(d)           With respect to each Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan that is subject to an Environmental Insurance Policy, if the Master Servicer has actual knowledge of any event (an “Insured Environmental 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 Mortgage Loan 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, the Special Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer, which 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 Administered 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, the 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 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 the Special Servicer) shall be (subject to Section 3.11(h) and Section 3.19(b)) paid by, and reimbursable to, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, as a Servicing Advance.


 


(e)           The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each 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 Mortgage Loans and/or Administered REO Properties exist as part of the Trust Fund) keep in force with a Qualified Insurer having the Required Claims-Paying Ratings, a fidelity bond in such form and amount as are consistent with the Servicing Standard. The Master Servicer or Special Servicer 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 or the Special Servicer, as the case may be. Such fidelity bond shall provide that it may not be canceled without ten (10) days’ prior written notice to the Trustee. So long as the 


 




  





-196-











  






 


long-term unsecured debt obligations of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, are rated not lower than “A (low)” by DBRS (or, if not rated by DBRS, an equivalent rating by (1) any two other NRSROs (which may include Moody’s and/or Morningstar) or (2) one NRSRO (which may include Moody’s and/or Morningstar) and A.M. Best Company) and “A3” by Moody’s, or it has received a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to which such rating is not satisfied, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, 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 the Special Servicer shall each 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 Mortgage Loans and/or Administered REO Properties exist as part of the Trust Fund) also keep in force with a Qualified Insurer having the Required Claims-Paying Ratings, a policy or policies of insurance covering loss occasioned by the errors and omissions of its officers and employees in connection with its 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 Special Servicer shall be deemed to have complied with the foregoing provision if an Affiliate thereof has such policy or policies and, by the terms of such policy or policies, the coverage afforded thereunder extends to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be. Any such errors and omissions policy shall provide that it may not be canceled without ten (10) days’ prior written notice to the Trustee. So long as the long-term unsecured debt obligations of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer are rated not lower than “A (low)” by DBRS (or, if not rated by DBRS, an equivalent rating by (1) any two other NRSROs (which may include Moody’s and/or Morningstar) or (2) one NRSRO (which may include Moody’s and/or Morningstar) and A.M. Best Company) and “A3” by Moody’s, or it has received a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to which such rating is not satisfied, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, 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.

(a) If the provisions of any Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination expressly permits the assignment of the related Mortgaged Property to, and assumption of such Mortgage Loan by, another Person, or the transfer of interests in the related Borrower, in each case, upon the satisfaction of specified conditions, prohibits such an assignment and assumption or transfer except upon the satisfaction of specified conditions or fully prohibits such an assignment and assumption or transfer, and the related Borrower (and/or the holders of interests in such Borrower) requests approval for such an assignment and assumption or transfer or enters into a transfer of the related Mortgaged Property or of interest(s) in such Borrower in violation of the related Mortgage Loan Documents, or if the provisions of any Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination expressly permits the further encumbrance of the related Mortgaged Property upon the satisfaction of specified conditions, prohibits such a further encumbrance except upon the satisfaction of specified conditions or fully prohibits such a further encumbrance, in each case, and the related Borrower requests approval for such a further encumbrance or enters into a further encumbrance in violation of the related Mortgage Loan Documents, the Master Servicer (with respect to a

In connection with the foregoing, in the event of a default under any Serviced Mortgage Loan, Serviced Loan Combination or Cross-Collateralized Group that is secured by real properties located in multiple states, and such states include California or another state with a statute, rule or regulation comparable to California’s “one action rule”, then the Special Servicer shall consult Independent counsel regarding the order and manner in which the Special Servicer should foreclose upon or comparably proceed against such properties. The Special Servicer may direct the Master Servicer to advance, as contemplated by Section 3.19(b), all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and litigation costs and expenses) to be incurred on behalf of the Trust in any such proceedings or such consultation, subject to the Master Servicer being entitled to reimbursement for any such advance as a Servicing Advance as provided in Section 3.05(a), and further subject to the Special Servicer’s being entitled to pay out of the related Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and/or Condemnation Proceeds any Liquidation Expenses incurred in respect of any Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, which Liquidation Expenses were outstanding at the time such proceeds are received. Nothing contained in this Section 3.09 shall be construed so as to require the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust, to make a bid on any Mortgaged Property at a foreclosure sale or similar proceeding that is in excess of the fair market value of such property, as determined by the Special Servicer taking into account the factors described in Section 3.18 and the results of any appraisal obtained pursuant to the following sentence or otherwise, all such cash bids to be made in a manner 


 




  





-201-











  






 


consistent with the Servicing Standard. If and when the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer deems it necessary in accordance with the Servicing Standard for purposes of establishing the fair market value of any Mortgaged Property securing a defaulted Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, whether for purposes of bidding at foreclosure or otherwise, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (as the case may be) is authorized to have an Appraisal completed with respect to such property (the cost of which appraisal shall be covered by, and be reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance).


 


The Master Servicer shall not foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert, including by taking title thereto, any real property or other collateral securing a Defaulted Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination.


 


(b)           Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.09, no Mortgaged Property shall be acquired by the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust (and, in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s)) under such circumstances, in such manner or pursuant to such terms as would (i) cause such Mortgaged Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code (unless the portion of such REO Property that is not treated as “foreclosure property” and that is held by any REMIC Pool at any given time constitutes not more than a de minimis amount of the assets of such REMIC Pool within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860D-1(b)(3)(i) and (ii)), or (ii) except as permitted by Section 3.17(a), subject the Trust to the imposition of any federal income or prohibited transaction taxes under the Code. Subject to the foregoing, however, a Mortgaged Property may be acquired through a single-member limited liability company. In addition, except as permitted under Section 3.17(a), the Special Servicer shall not acquire any personal property on behalf of the Trust (and, in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) pursuant to this Section 3.09 unless either:


 


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


 


(ii)           the Special Servicer shall have obtained an Opinion of Counsel (the cost of which shall be covered by, and reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance) to the effect that the holding of such personal property as part of the Trust Fund will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event with respect to any REMIC Pool or an Adverse Grantor Trust Event with respect to the Grantor Trust Pool.


 


(c)           Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.09, the Special Servicer shall not, on behalf of the Trust (and, in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s)), have a receiver of rents appointed with respect to a Mortgaged Property, or obtain title to a Mortgaged Property by foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, or take any other action with respect to any Mortgaged Property, if, as a result of any such action, the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders, could, in the reasonable judgment of the Special Servicer, exercised in accordance with the Servicing Standard, be considered to hold title to, to be a “mortgagee-in-possession” of, or to be an “owner” or “operator” of such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of CERCLA or any comparable law, unless:

(i)            the Special Servicer has previously determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard, based on a Phase I Environmental Assessment (and any additional environmental testing that the Special Servicer deems necessary and prudent) of such Mortgaged Property conducted by an Independent Person who regularly conducts Phase I Environmental Assessments and performed during the nine-month period preceding any such acquisition of title or other action, that such Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations and there are no circumstances or conditions present at the Mortgaged Property relating to the use, management or disposal of Hazardous Materials for which investigation, testing, monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation could be required under any applicable environmental laws and regulations; or


 


(ii)           if the determination described in clause (c)(i) above cannot be made, the Special Servicer has previously determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard, on the same basis as described in clause (c)(i) above, and taking into account the coverage provided under the related Environmental Insurance Policy, that it would maximize the recovery to the Certificateholders and, in the case of a Mortgaged Property securing a Serviced Loan Combination, to the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) (as a collective whole) on a present value basis (the relevant discounting of anticipated collections that will be distributable to Certificateholders and, in the case of a Mortgaged Property securing a Serviced Loan Combination, to the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s), to be performed at the related Net Mortgage Rate (or (x) in the case of an ARD Mortgage Loan after its Anticipated Repayment Date, at the related Net Mortgage Rate immediately prior to the Anticipated Repayment Date, or (y) in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, at the weighted average of the Net Mortgage Rates for the related notes)), to be performed at the related Net Mortgage Rate) to acquire title to or possession of the Mortgaged Property and to take such remedial, corrective and/or other further actions as are necessary to bring the Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations and to appropriately address any of the circumstances and conditions referred to in clause (c)(i) above.


 


Any such determination by the Special Servicer contemplated by clause (i) or clause (ii) of the preceding paragraph shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate to such effect delivered to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Subordinate Class Representative and the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder (and, in the case of a Mortgaged Property securing a Serviced Loan Combination, to the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s)), specifying all of the bases for such determination, such Officer’s Certificate to be accompanied by all related environmental reports.


 


The cost of such Phase I Environmental Assessment and any such additional environmental testing, as well as the cost of any remedial, corrective or other further action contemplated by clause (i) and/or clause (ii) above of the first paragraph of Section 3.09(c), shall be paid out of the Collection Account (subject to, if it relates to one or more Mortgage Loans in a Serviced Loan Combination, the proviso at the end of the first paragraph (that is, the initial paragraph that includes the enumerated clauses (i) through (xxiii) of Section 3.05(a)(I)).

(d)           If neither of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of the first paragraph of Section 3.09(c) has been satisfied with respect to any Mortgaged Property securing a defaulted Serviced Mortgage Loan (or, if applicable, a Serviced Loan Combination), the Special Servicer shall take such action as is in accordance with the Servicing Standard (other than proceeding against the Mortgaged Property) and, at such time as it deems appropriate, may, on behalf of the Trust and, if applicable, any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s), release all or a portion of such Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage; provided that both (i) if such Serviced Mortgage Loan has a then-outstanding principal balance greater than $1 million, then prior to the release of all or a portion of the related Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage, the Special Servicer shall have notified the Rating Agencies (subject to Section 3.27), the Subordinate Class Representative, the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Master Servicer, in writing of its intention to so release all or a portion of such Mortgaged Property and the basis for the determination that such intention, in the Special Servicer’s good faith judgment, was consistent with the Servicing Standard and (ii) if any Serviced Loan Combination is involved, the holders of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan or their representatives shall have the rights, if any, in respect thereof that are enumerated in the related Intercreditor Agreement.

(f)           The Special Servicer shall have the right to determine, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the advisability of seeking to obtain a deficiency judgment if the state in which the related Mortgaged Property is located and the terms of the subject Mortgage Loan permit such an action and shall, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, seek such deficiency judgment if it deems advisable. The Master Servicer, at the direction of the Special Servicer, shall make a Servicing Advance for the costs incurred in pursuing any such deficiency action, provided that the Master Servicer shall not be obligated in connection therewith to advance any funds, which if so advanced would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.


 


(g)           Annually in each January, the Master Servicer shall, with the reasonable cooperation of the Special Servicer, prepare and file with the IRS on a timely basis the information returns with respect to the reports of foreclosures and abandonments and reports relating to any cancellation of indebtedness income with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan, or Mortgaged Property securing a Serviced Mortgage Loan and any Serviced Loan Combination,

-212-











  






 


permitted under Section 2.03) no Workout Fee will be payable from or based upon the receipt of, any Purchase Price paid by the related Responsible Repurchase Party in satisfaction of such repurchase obligation. As to each such Corrected Mortgage Loan, the Workout Fee shall be payable out of, and shall be calculated by application of the Workout Fee Rate to, each payment of interest (other than Default Interest and Post-ARD Additional Interest) and principal received from the related Borrower on such Corrected Mortgage Loan for so long as it remains a Corrected Mortgage Loan, except that any Workout Fees earned with respect to any Serviced Loan Combination or any successor REO Mortgage Loan with respect thereto and attributable to the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan shall be payable in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement and solely out of the proceeds of such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan; provided that any Workout Fees earned with respect to a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan or any successor REO Mortgage Loan with respect thereto will be payable out of any proceeds on or with respect to such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan and/or the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder’s share of proceeds on such related REO Property prior to any proceeds on or with respect to the Mortgage Loan and/or the Trust Fund’s share of proceeds on such related REO Property as otherwise described above. In addition, the determination and payment of the Workout Fee with respect to any Corrected Mortgage Loan (in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, including both the interest therein represented by the related Mortgage Loan and the interest therein represented by the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) for which the amount of related Offsetting Modification Fees is greater than zero shall be adjusted in the following manner: (i) the Workout Fee Rate shall be multiplied by the aggregate amount of all the scheduled payments of principal and interest scheduled to become due under the terms of such Corrected Mortgage Loan during the period from the date when such Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Loan Combination, as applicable) becomes a Corrected Mortgage Loan to and including the Stated Maturity Date of such Corrected Mortgage Loan, without discounting for present value (the resulting product, the “Workout Fee Projected Amount”); and (ii) either (a) if the amount of the Offsetting Modification Fees for such Corrected Mortgage Loan is greater than or equal to the Workout Fee Projected Amount for such Corrected Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall not be entitled to any payments in respect of the Workout Fee with respect to such Corrected Mortgage Loan, or (b) if the amount of Offsetting Modification Fees for such Corrected Mortgage Loan is less than the Workout Fee Projected Amount, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to payments of the Workout Fee with respect to such Corrected Mortgage Loan, on the terms and conditions otherwise set forth in this Agreement without regard to this sentence, until the cumulative amount of such payments is equal to the excess of the Workout Fee Projected Amount over the Offsetting Modification Fees, after which date the Special Servicer shall not be entitled to any further payments in respect of the Workout Fee for such Corrected Mortgage Loan. The Workout Fee with respect to any Corrected Mortgage Loan shall cease to be payable if such Corrected Mortgage Loan again becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or if the related Mortgaged Property becomes an REO Property; provided that a new Workout Fee would become payable if and when such Serviced Mortgage Loan again became a Corrected Mortgage Loan after having again become a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan.

The Workout Fee with respect to any Corrected Mortgage Loan shall be capped in accordance with the last paragraph of this Section 3.11(c).


 


As further compensation for its activities hereunder, the Special Servicer shall also be entitled to receive a Liquidation Fee with respect to each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, including both the interest therein represented by the related Mortgage Loan and the interest therein represented by the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) as to which any full, partial or discounted payoff is received from the related Borrower and with respect to each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or Administered REO Property (in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, including in each case both the interest therein represented by the related Mortgage Loan and the interest therein represented by the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) as to which the Special Servicer receives any Condemnation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds and (without duplication) each Serviced Mortgage Loan as to which the Special Servicer otherwise receives any Condemnation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds; provided that, if a Liquidation Fee otherwise becomes payable with respect to a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, then such Liquidation Fee payable to the Special Servicer with respect to such Mortgage Loan in the aggregate shall be reduced by the amount of any Offsetting Modification Fees; provided, further, that if a Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan only because of an event described in clause (a) of the definition of “Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan” and the related proceeds are received within 90 days following the related Stated Maturity Date in connection with the full and final payoff or refinancing of the related Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, in each case the Special Servicer shall not be entitled to collect a Liquidation Fee, but may collect and retain appropriate fees from the related Borrower in connection with such liquidation; provided, further, that no Liquidation Fee shall be paid with respect to: (A) the purchase or other acquisition of any Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan by any Subordinate Class Certificateholder(s), the Sole Certificateholder(s), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 9.01, (B) (i) the repurchase or replacement of any Serviced Mortgage Loan by a Responsible Repurchase Party pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement as a result of a Material Breach or Material Document Defect, if the repurchase or replacement occurs prior to the end of the period, as the same may be extended, in which such Responsible Repurchase Party must cure, repurchase or substitute for such Serviced Mortgage Loan or (ii) the repurchase or replacement of any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan by a responsible repurchase party pursuant to the related mortgage loan purchase agreement as a result of a material breach or material document defect thereunder, if the

As to each such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or Administered REO Property for which the Special Servicer is entitled to a Liquidation Fee as set forth above, such Liquidation Fee shall be payable out of, and shall be calculated by application of the Liquidation Fee Rate to, any such full, partial or discounted payoff, Condemnation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and/or Liquidation Proceeds received or collected in respect thereof (other than any portion of such payment or proceeds that represents Default Charges or Post-ARD Additional Interest) provided that any Liquidation Fees earned with respect to a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan in a Serviced Loan Combination shall be payable out of any collections on or with respect to such related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan and/or the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder’s share of collections on any related Administered REO Property prior to payment out of any collections otherwise described above).

(e)            The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each be required (subject to Section 3.11(h) below) to pay out of its own funds all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder (including payment of any amounts due and owing to any of Sub-Servicers retained by it (including any termination fees) and the premiums for any blanket policy or the standby fee or similar premium, if any, for any master force placed policy obtained by it insuring against hazard losses pursuant to Section 3.07(c)), if and to the extent such expenses are not payable directly out of the applicable Collection Account, the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account, any Servicing Account, Reserve Account or REO Account, and neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be 


 




  





-217-











  






 


entitled to reimbursement for any such expense incurred by it except as expressly provided in this Agreement. If the Master Servicer is required to make any Servicing Advance hereunder at the discretion of the Special Servicer in accordance with Section 3.19 or otherwise, the Special Servicer shall promptly provide the Master Servicer with such documentation regarding the subject Servicing Advance as the Master Servicer may reasonably request.


 


(f)            If the Master Servicer is required under this Agreement to make a Servicing Advance, but fails to do so within ten (10) days after such Advance is required to be made, the Trustee shall, if it has actual knowledge of such failure on the part of the Master Servicer, give written notice of such failure to the defaulting party. If such Advance is not made by the Master Servicer, within one (1) Business Day after receipt of such written notice, then (subject to Section 3.11(h) below) the Trustee shall make such Advance.


 


(g)           The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee shall each be entitled to receive interest at the Reimbursement Rate in effect from time to time, accrued on the amount of each Servicing Advance made thereby (with its own funds), for so long as such Servicing Advance is outstanding (it being acknowledged that Advance Interest shall not accrue on Unliquidated Advances related to prior Servicing Advances). Such interest with respect to any Servicing Advances shall be payable: (i) first, in accordance with Sections 3.05 and 3.25, out of any Default Charges subsequently collected on or in respect of the particular Serviced Mortgage Loan, Serviced Loan Combination or Administered REO Property as to which such Servicing Advance relates; and (ii) then, after such Servicing Advance is reimbursed, but only if and to the extent that such Default Charges are insufficient to cover such Advance Interest, out of general collections on the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties on deposit in the Collection Account. The Master Servicer shall (subject to the operation of Section 3.05(a)(II)) reimburse itself, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as appropriate, for any Servicing Advance made by any such Person with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan or Administered REO Property as soon as practicable after funds available for such purpose are deposited in the Collection Account or the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account, as applicable.


 


(h)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee shall be required to make any Servicing Advance that would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. The determination by any Person with an obligation hereunder to make Servicing Advances that it has made a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance or that any proposed Servicing Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, shall be made by such Person in its reasonable, good faith judgment, if such Person is the Trustee, or in accordance with the Servicing Standard, if such Person is the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer. In making such recoverability determination, such Person will be entitled to consider (among other things) the obligations of the Borrower under the terms of the related Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination as it may have been modified, to consider (among other things) the related Mortgaged Properties in their “as-is” or then-current conditions and occupancies, as modified by such party’s assumptions regarding the possibility and effects of future adverse change with respect to such Mortgaged Properties, to estimate and consider (among other things) future expenses and to estimate and consider (among other things) the timing of recoveries. In addition, any such Person may update or change its recoverability determinations at any time and may obtain any analysis, Appraisals or market value estimates or other information in the 


 




  





-218-











  






 


possession of the Special Servicer for such purposes. Any determination by any Person with an obligation hereunder to make Servicing Advances that it has made a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance or that any proposed Servicing Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered promptly to the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee (unless it is the Person making such determination), the Special Servicer, the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder and the Subordinate Class Representative and, if any Serviced Loan Combination is involved, any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s), setting forth the basis for such determination, accompanied by a copy of any Appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property performed within the 12 months preceding such determination by a Qualified Appraiser, and, if such reports were used by the Master Servicer or the Trustee to determine that any Servicing Advance is or would be nonrecoverable, further accompanied by any other information, including engineers’ reports, environmental surveys or similar reports, that the Person making such determination may have obtained. Notwithstanding the foregoing, absent bad faith, any such determination as to the recoverability of any Servicing Advance shall be conclusive and binding on the Certificateholders and, in all cases, the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any determination of nonrecoverability that may have been made by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer or, if appropriate, any party under the related Non-Trust Servicing Agreement (in the case of a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan), and the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each be entitled to conclusively rely on any determination of nonrecoverability that may have been made by the other such party or, if appropriate, any party under the related Non-Trust Servicing Agreement (in the case of a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan) with respect to a particular Servicing Advance for any Serviced Mortgage Loan, Serviced Loan Combination or Administered REO Property. The Special Servicer shall promptly furnish any party required to make Servicing Advances hereunder with any information in its possession regarding the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and Administered REO Properties as such party required to make Servicing Advances may reasonably request. A copy of any such Officer’s Certificate (and accompanying information) of the Master Servicer shall also be delivered promptly to the Special Servicer, a copy of any such Officer’s Certificate (and accompanying information) of the Special Servicer shall also be promptly delivered to the Master Servicer for the subject Serviced Mortgage Loan, Serviced Loan Combination or Administered REO Property, and a copy of any such Officer’s Certificates (and accompanying information) of the Trustee shall also be promptly delivered to the Certificate Administrator, the Subordinate Class Representative, the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer and, if any Serviced Loan Combination is involved, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s). The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall consider Unliquidated Advances in respect of prior Servicing Advances as outstanding Advances for purposes of recoverability determinations as if such Unliquidated Advance were a Servicing Advance.


 


The Special Servicer shall also be entitled to make (but shall not be obligated to make or not make) in its sole discretion, a determination (subject to the same standards and procedures that apply in connection with a determination by the Master Servicer) to the effect that a prior Servicing Advance (or Unliquidated Advance in respect thereof) previously made hereunder by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (or, if applicable, the Trustee) constitutes a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance or that any proposed Servicing Advance by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (or, if applicable, the Trustee), if made, would constitute 


 




  





-219-











  






 


a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, in which case such determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Master Servicer and the Trustee and such Servicing Advance shall constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance for all purposes of this Agreement (but this statement shall not be construed to entitle the Special Servicer to reverse any other authorized Person’s determination, or to prohibit any such other authorized Person from making a determination, that a Servicing Advance constitutes or would constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance). The preceding statement shall not be construed to limit the provision set forth in Section 3.19(b) to the effect that any request by the Special Servicer that the Master Servicer make a Servicing Advance shall be deemed to be a determination by the Special Servicer that such Servicing Advance is not a Nonrecoverable Advance.


 


(i)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Master Servicer may (and, at the direction of the Special Servicer if a Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination that is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or an Administered REO Property is involved, shall) pay directly out of the Collection Account any servicing expense that, if paid by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance for the subject Serviced Mortgage Loan, Serviced Loan Combination or REO Property; provided that (A) it shall be a condition to such payment that the Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer, if a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or an Administered REO Property is involved) has determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard that making such payment is in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, if applicable, any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders (as a collective whole), as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered promptly to the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder and the Subordinate Class Representative and, if any Serviced Loan Combination is involved, any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s), setting forth the basis for such determination and accompanied by any information that such Person may have obtained that supports such determination; (B) if such servicing expense relates to any Serviced Loan Combination, the payment of such expense shall be subject to the proviso at the end of the first paragraph of Section 3.05(a)(I); and (C) such servicing expense shall be deemed to constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance for purposes of Section 3.05(a)(II)(iv) and the definition of “Principal Distribution Amount” and the terms and conditions set forth in such subsection that are applicable to Nonrecoverable Advances shall apply to such servicing expense. A copy of any such Officer’s Certificate (and accompanying information) of the Master Servicer shall also be delivered promptly to the Subordinate Class Representative (and, if any Serviced Loan Combination is involved, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s)) and the Special Servicer, and a copy of any such Officer’s Certificate (and accompanying information) of the Special Servicer shall also be promptly delivered to the Master Servicer and the Subordinate Class Representative (and, if any Serviced Loan Combination is involved, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s)).


 


(j)           With respect to each Collection Period during which any Disclosable Special Servicer Fees were received by the Special Servicer, the Special Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Master Servicer within two (2) Business Days following the related Determination Date, and, if so delivered, the Master Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Certificate Administrator, within three (3) Business Days following the related Determination Date, in each case without charge, a report in EDGAR-Compatible Format (or such other format as mutually agreeable between the Certificate Administrator and the Special 


 




  





-220-











  






 


Servicer) that discloses and contains an itemized listing of any Disclosable Special Servicer Fees received by the Special Servicer or any of its Affiliates, if any, during the related Collection Period.


 


(k)          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 property manager, any guarantor or indemnitor in respect of a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination and any purchaser of any Mortgage Loan, Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan or REO Property) in connection with the disposition, workout or foreclosure of any Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, the management or disposition of any REO Property or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, or the performance of any other special servicing duties under this Agreement, other than as expressly provided in this Section 3.11; provided that such prohibition shall not apply to Permitted Special Servicer/Affiliate Fees.


 


(l)           If the AMCP Portfolio Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan prior to the securitization of the AMCP Portfolio Pari Passu Companion Loan, the Special Servicer shall service and administer the AMCP Portfolio Loan Combination and any related REO Property in the same manner as any other Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property and shall be entitled to all rights and compensation earned with respect to such Serviced Loan Combination as Special Servicer of such Serviced Loan Combination. With respect to the AMCP Portfolio Loan Combination, prior to the securitization of the AMCP Portfolio Pari Passu Companion Loan, no other special servicer will be entitled to any such compensation or have such rights and obligations. If the AMCP Portfolio Loan Combination is still a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan on the date of the securitization of the AMCP Portfolio Pari Passu Companion Loan, the Non-Trust Special Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to compensation with respect to the AMCP Portfolio Loan Combination as if the Special Servicer were being terminated as Special Servicer and the Non-Trust Special Servicer were replacing it as the successor special servicer pursuant to Section 6.05.


 


Section 3.12      Property Inspections; Collection of Financial Statements. (a) The Special Servicer shall perform or cause to be performed a physical inspection of a Mortgaged Property securing a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan as soon as practicable (but in any event not later than sixty (60) days) after the subject Serviced Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (and the Special Servicer shall continue to perform or cause to be performed a physical inspection of the subject Mortgaged Property at least once per calendar year thereafter for so long as the subject Serviced Mortgage Loan remains a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or if such Mortgaged Property becomes an REO Property); provided that the Special Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of the reasonable and direct out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it in connection with each such inspection as Servicing Advances or otherwise as contemplated by Section 3.05(a). The Master Servicer shall, at its own expense, inspect or cause to be inspected each Mortgaged Property (other than a Mortgaged Property securing a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan) every calendar year beginning in 2015, or every second calendar year beginning in 2016 if the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan (or the portion thereof allocated to such Mortgaged Property) is less than $2,000,000; provided that with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan (other than a Specially 


 




  





-221-











  






 


Serviced Mortgage Loan) that has an aggregate unpaid principal balance of less than $2,000,000 and has been placed on the CREFC® Servicer Watch List, the Master Servicer shall, at the request and expense of the Subordinate Class Representative, inspect or cause to be inspected the related Mortgaged Property every calendar year not earlier than 2015 so long as such Mortgage Loan continues to be on the CREFC® Servicer Watch List; and provided, further, that the Master Servicer will not be obligated to inspect any particular Mortgaged Property during any one-year or two-year, as applicable, period contemplated above in this sentence, if the Special Servicer has already done so during that period pursuant to the preceding sentence or on any date when the related Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan. Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall prepare a written report of each such inspection performed by it or on its behalf that sets forth in detail the condition of the subject Mortgaged Property and that specifies the occurrence or existence of: (i) any vacancy in the Mortgaged Property that is, in the reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer (or its respective designee), as the case may be, material and is evident from such inspection, (ii) any abandonment of the Mortgaged Property of which it is aware, (iii) any change in the condition or value of the Mortgaged Property that is, in the reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer (or its respective designee), as the case may be, material and is evident from such inspection, (iv) any material waste on or deferred maintenance in respect of the Mortgaged Property that is evident from such inspection or (v) any material capital improvements made that are evident from such inspection. Such report may be in the form of the standard property inspection report (or such other form for the presentation of such information) as may from time to time be recommended by the CREFC® for commercial mortgage-backed securities transactions generally. Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall deliver (i) to the Certificate Administrator, (ii) to the Trustee, (iii) to the Master Servicer, if such report is prepared by the Special Servicer, (iv) to the Special Servicer, if such report is prepared by the related Master Servicer, (v) to or at the direction of the Subordinate Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period and any Collective Consultation Period), (vi) to or at the direction of the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder (during any Subordinate Control Period and any Collective Consultation Period), (vii) to the Trust Advisor (upon request, during any Collective Consultation Period and any Senior Consultation Period), and (viii) if applicable, to any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder ((x) upon request or (y) to the extent required under the applicable Intercreditor Agreement, if there has been a material adverse change in the condition of the subject Mortgaged Property or REO Property, as applicable), a copy (or image in suitable electronic media) of each such written report prepared by it, in each case within thirty (30) days following the request (or, if later or if request is not required, within thirty (30) days following the later of completion of the related inspection if the inspection is performed by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as appropriate, or receipt of the related inspection report if the inspection is performed by a third party).


 


(b)           Commencing with respect to the calendar year ending December 31, 2015 (as to annual information) and the calendar quarter ending on March 31, 2015 (as to quarterly information), the Special Servicer, in the case of any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, and the Master Servicer, in the case of each Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan, shall make reasonable efforts to collect promptly from each related Borrower quarterly (for each Mortgage Loan other than any Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan) and annual operating statements, budgets and rent rolls (if applicable) of the related Mortgaged Property, and quarterly (for each Mortgage Loan other than any Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan) and annual financial statements

of such Borrower, whether or not delivery of such items is required pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents. The Master Servicer shall deliver images in suitable electronic media of all of the foregoing items so collected or obtained by it to the Persons and in the time set forth in Section 4.02(d). In addition, the Special Servicer shall cause quarterly and annual operating statements, budgets and rent rolls to be regularly prepared in respect of each Administered REO Property and shall collect all such items promptly following their preparation. The Special Servicer shall deliver images in suitable electronic media of all of the foregoing items so collected or obtained by it to the Master Servicer, the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder (during any Subordinate Control Period and any Collective Consultation Period), the Subordinate Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period and any Collective Consultation Period), the Trust Advisor (during any Collective Consultation Period and any Senior Consultation Period) and, if any Serviced Loan Combination is involved, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) if and to the extent required under the applicable Intercreditor Agreement, within thirty (30) days of its receipt thereof.

Section 3.14      [Reserved.]


 


Section 3.15      Access to Information. (a) Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall afford to the OTS, the FDIC, any other banking or insurance regulatory authority that may exercise authority over any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Trust Advisor (except that the Trust Advisor shall be entitled to such access only from the Special Servicer during any Collective Consultation Period or Senior Consultation Period and only with respect to Mortgage Loan information that the Trust Advisor determined is reasonably necessary in order for it to perform any consultation right or duty it may then currently have with respect to such Mortgage Loan under the other provisions of this Agreement), the Depositor, each Underwriter, the Subordinate Class Representative and any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder, access to any records regarding the Mortgage Loans serviced by it hereunder (or, in the case of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder, only the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) and the servicing thereof within its control, except to the extent it is prohibited from doing so by applicable law, the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents or contract entered into prior to the Closing Date or to the extent such information is subject to a privilege under applicable law to be asserted on behalf of the Certificateholders. At the election of the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer, such access may be so afforded to the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Depositor, the Trust Advisor, the Subordinate Class Representative, the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder, by the delivery of copies of information as requested by such Person and the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be permitted to require payment of a sum sufficient to cover the reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by it in making such copies. Such access shall otherwise be afforded without charge but only upon reasonable prior written request and during normal business hours at the offices of the particular Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, designated by it.


 


(b)           In connection with providing access to information pursuant to Section 3.15(a) above, Section 4.02(a), Section 8.12(d) or, only with respect to clause (i) below,

Section 8.12(g), each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer may (i) affix a reasonable disclaimer to any information provided by it for which it is not the original source (without suggesting liability on the part of any other party hereto); (ii) affix to any information provided by it a reasonable statement regarding securities law restrictions on such information and/or condition access to information on the execution of a reasonable confidentiality agreement; (iii) withhold access to confidential information or any intellectual property; and (iv) withhold access to items of information contained in the Servicing File for any Serviced Mortgage Loan if the disclosure of such items is prohibited by applicable law or the provisions of any related Mortgage Loan Documents or would constitute a waiver of the attorney-client privilege. In connection with providing access to information pursuant to this Section 3.15, the Master Servicer shall require the execution (which may be in electronic form) of a confidentiality agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit K-3 hereto.


 


(c)          Upon the request of the Subordinate Class Representative made not more frequently than once a month during the normal business hours of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall, without charge, make a knowledgeable Servicing Officer available either by telephone (with Servicing Officers of each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer participating simultaneously if the Subordinate Class Representative so requests) or, at the option of the Subordinate Class Representative if it provides reasonable advance notice, at the office of such Servicing Officer, to verbally answer questions from the Subordinate Class Representative regarding the performance and servicing of the Serviced Mortgage Loans and/or Administered REO Properties for which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, is responsible.


 


(d)          Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the failure of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer to disclose any information otherwise required to be disclosed by it pursuant to this Agreement shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement to the extent that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, determines, in its reasonable and good faith judgment consistent with the Servicing Standard, that such disclosure would violate applicable law or any provision of a Mortgage Loan Document prohibiting disclosure of information with respect to the Mortgage Loans or the Mortgaged Properties, constitute a waiver of the attorney-client privilege on behalf of the Trust or the Trust Fund or otherwise materially harm the Trust or the Trust Fund.


 


(e)           Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be liable for providing, disseminating or withholding information in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition to their other rights hereunder, each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer (and their respective employees, attorneys, officers, directors and agents) shall, in each case, be indemnified by the Trust Fund for any claims, losses or expenses arising from any such provision, dissemination or withholding.


 


Section 3.16      Title to Administered REO Property; REO Account. (a) If title to any Administered REO Property is acquired, the deed or certificate of sale shall be issued to the Trustee or its nominee, on behalf of the Certificateholders (and, in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, also the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s)), or, subject to Section 3.09(b), to a single-member limited liability company of which the Trust is the sole member, which limited liability company is formed or caused to be formed by the Special

Servicer at the expense of the Trust (or, in the case of an Administered REO Property related to a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Loan Combination, the Trust and the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) for the purpose of taking title to one or more Administered REO Properties pursuant to this Agreement. Any such limited liability company formed by the Special Servicer shall be a manager-managed limited liability company, with the Special Servicer to serve as the initial manager to manage the property of the limited liability company, including any applicable Administered REO Property, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement as if such property was held directly in the name of the Trust or Trustee under this Agreement. The Special Servicer shall sell any Administered REO Property in accordance with Section 3.18 by the end of the third calendar year following the year in which the Trust acquires ownership of such Administered REO Property for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code, unless the Special Servicer either (i) applies, more than sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of such liquidation period, and is granted (or, pursuant to IRS regulations, deemed to have been granted) an extension of time or the IRS does not deny an application for an extension of time (an “REO Extension”) by the IRS to sell such Administered REO Property or (ii) obtains for the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee, to the effect that the holding by the Trust of such Administered REO Property subsequent to the end of the third calendar year following the year in which such acquisition occurred will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event with respect to any REMIC Pool or an Adverse Grantor Trust Event with respect to the Grantor Trust Pool. Regardless of whether the Special Servicer applies for or is granted the REO Extension contemplated by clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence or obtains the Opinion of Counsel referred to in clause (ii) of such sentence, the Special Servicer shall act in accordance with the Servicing Standard to liquidate the subject Administered REO Property on a timely basis. If the Special Servicer is granted such REO Extension or obtains such Opinion of Counsel with respect to any Administered REO Property, the Special Servicer shall (i) promptly forward a copy of such REO Extension or Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee, and (ii) sell the subject Administered REO Property within such extended period as is permitted by such REO Extension or contemplated by such Opinion of Counsel, as the case may be. Any expense incurred by the Special Servicer in connection with its applying for and being granted the REO Extension contemplated by clause (i) of the third preceding sentence or its obtaining the Opinion of Counsel contemplated by clause (ii) of the third preceding sentence, and for the creation of and the operating of a limited liability company, shall be covered by, and be reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance.


 


(b)           The Special Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received by it in connection with any Administered REO Property separate and apart from its own funds and general assets. If any REO Acquisition occurs in respect of any Mortgaged Property securing a Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, then the Special Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (collectively, an “REO Account”), to be held on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders (or, in the case of any Administered REO Property related to a Serviced Loan Combination, on behalf of both the Certificateholders and the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s)), as a collective whole, for the retention of revenues and other proceeds derived from such Administered REO Property. Each account that constitutes an REO Account shall be an Eligible Account. The Special Servicer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, in its REO Account, within one Business Day following receipt, all REO Revenues, Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds received in respect of an Administered REO

Property. Funds in an REO Account may be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with Section 3.06. The Special Servicer is authorized to pay out of related Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and/or Condemnation Proceeds, if any, any Liquidation Expenses incurred in respect of an Administered REO Property and outstanding at the time such proceeds are received, as well as any other items that otherwise may be paid by the Master Servicer out of such Liquidation Proceeds as contemplated by Section 3.05(a). The Special Servicer shall be entitled to make withdrawals from its REO Account to pay itself, as Additional Special Servicing Compensation, interest and investment income earned in respect of amounts held in such REO Account as provided in Section 3.06(b) (but only to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings, if any, with respect to such REO Account for any Collection Period). The Special Servicer shall give notice to the other parties hereto of the location of its REO Account when first established and of the new location of such REO Account prior to any change thereof.


 


(c)           The Special Servicer shall withdraw from its REO Account funds necessary for the proper operation, management, leasing, maintenance and disposition of any Administered REO Property, but only to the extent of amounts on deposit in such REO Account relating to such Administered REO Property. Monthly within one Business Day following the end of each Collection Period, the Special Servicer shall withdraw from its REO Account and deposit into the Collection Account, or deliver to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account, the aggregate of all amounts received in respect of each Administered REO Property during such Collection Period that are then on deposit in such REO Account, net of any withdrawals made out of such amounts pursuant to the preceding sentence; provided that (A) in the case of each Administered REO Property, the Special Servicer may retain in its REO Account such portion of such proceeds and collections as may be necessary to maintain a reserve of sufficient funds for the proper operation, management, leasing, maintenance and disposition of such Administered REO Property (including the creation of a reasonable reserve for repairs, replacements, necessary capital improvements and other related expenses) and (B) if such Administered REO Property relates to a Serviced Loan Combination, the Master Servicer shall make, from such amounts so deposited or remitted as described above, any deposits into any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account contemplated by Section 3.04(h) or Section 3.04(i), as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, such amounts withdrawn from an REO Account and deposited into the Collection Account following the end of each Collection Period pursuant to the preceding sentence shall, upon such deposit, be construed to have been received by the Master Servicer during such Collection Period.


 


(d)           The Special Servicer shall keep and maintain separate records, on a property-by-property basis, for the purpose of accounting for all deposits to, and withdrawals from, its REO Account pursuant to Section 3.16(b) or 3.16(c).


 


(e)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Section 3.16 shall not apply to any REO Property related to a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan.


 


Section 3.17      Management of Administered REO Property. (a) Prior to the acquisition of title to any Mortgaged Property securing a defaulted Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall review the operation of such Mortgaged Property and determine the nature of the income that would be derived from such property if it were acquired by the Trust. If the Special Servicer determines from such review that:

(i)            None of the income from Directly Operating such Mortgaged Property would be subject to tax as “net income from foreclosure property” within the meaning of the REMIC Provisions (such tax referred to herein as an “REO Tax”), then such Mortgaged Property may be Directly Operated by the Special Servicer as Administered REO Property, other than holding such Administered REO Property for sale or lease or performing construction work thereon;


 


(ii)           Directly Operating such Mortgaged Property as an Administered REO Property could result in income from such property that would be subject to an REO Tax, but that a lease of such property to another party to operate such property, or the performance of some services by an Independent Contractor with respect to such property, or another method of operating such property would not result in income subject to an REO Tax, then the Special Servicer may (provided that in the judgment of the Special Servicer, exercised in accordance with the Servicing Standard, it is commercially reasonable) so lease or otherwise operate such Administered REO Property; or


 


(iii)          It is reasonable to believe that Directly Operating such property as Administered REO Property could result in income subject to an REO Tax and either (i) that the income or earnings with respect to such REO Property will offset any REO Tax relating to such income or earnings and will maximize the net recovery from the applicable Administered REO Property to the Certificateholders (taking into account that any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) do not have any obligation under the related Intercreditor Agreement to bear the effect of any such REO Tax) or (ii) that no commercially reasonable means exists to operate such property as Administered REO Property without the Trust incurring or possibly incurring an REO Tax on income from such property, then the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Tax Administrator and the Subordinate Class Representative, in writing, a proposed plan (the “Proposed Plan”) to manage such property as Administered REO Property. Such plan shall include potential sources of income and good faith estimates of the amount of income from each such source. Within a reasonable period of time after receipt of such plan, the Tax Administrator shall consult with the Special Servicer and shall advise the Special Servicer of the Trust’s federal income tax reporting position with respect to the various sources of income that the Trust would derive under the Proposed Plan. In addition, the Tax Administrator shall (to the maximum extent reasonably possible and at a reasonable fee, which fee shall be an expense of the Trust) advise the Special Servicer of the estimated amount of taxes that the Trust would be required to pay with respect to each such source of income. After receiving the information described in the two preceding sentences from the Tax Administrator, the Special Servicer shall either (A) implement the Proposed Plan (after acquiring the respective Mortgaged Property as Administered REO Property) or (B) manage and operate such property in a manner that would not result in the imposition of an REO Tax on the income derived from such property.


 


Subject to Section 3.17(b), the Special Servicer’s decision as to how each Administered REO Property shall be managed and operated shall be in accordance with the Servicing Standard. Neither the Special Servicer nor the Tax Administrator shall be liable to the

Certificateholders, the Trustee, the Trust, the other parties hereto, any beneficiaries hereof or each other for errors in judgment made in good faith in the exercise of their discretion while performing their respective responsibilities under this Section 3.17(a) with respect to any Administered REO Property. Nothing in this Section 3.17(a) is intended to prevent the sale of any Administered REO Property pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of Section 3.18.


 


(b)           If title to any Administered REO Property is acquired, the Special Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate such Administered REO Property for the benefit of the Certificateholders (or, in the case of any Administered REO Property related to a Serviced Loan Combination, on behalf of both the Certificateholders and the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s)), as a collective whole, solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in accordance with Section 3.18 below, in a manner that does not cause such Administered REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or, except as contemplated by Section 3.17(a) above, result in the receipt by any REMIC Pool of any “income from non-permitted assets” within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code, in an Adverse REMIC Event with respect to any REMIC Pool or an Adverse Grantor Trust Event with respect to the Grantor Trust Pool. Except as contemplated by Section 3.17(a) above, the Special Servicer shall not enter into any lease, contract or other agreement with respect to any Administered REO Property that causes the Trust to receive, and (unless required to do so under any lease, contract or agreement to which the Special Servicer or the Trust may become a party or successor to a party due to a foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or other similar exercise of a creditor’s rights or remedies with respect to the related Serviced Mortgage Loan) shall not, with respect to any Administered REO Property, cause or allow the Trust to receive, any “net income from foreclosure property” that is subject to taxation under the REMIC Provisions. Subject to the foregoing, however, the Special Servicer shall have full power and authority to do any and all things in connection with the administration of any Administered REO Property, as are consistent with the Servicing Standard and, consistent therewith, shall withdraw from its REO Account, to the extent of amounts on deposit therein with respect to such Administered REO Property, funds necessary for the proper operation, management, maintenance and disposition of such Administered REO Property, including:


 


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


 


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


 


(iii)          any ground rents in respect of such Administered REO Property; and


 


(iv)          all other costs and expenses necessary to maintain, lease, sell, protect, manage, operate and restore such Administered REO Property.


 


To the extent that amounts on deposit in the Special Servicer’s REO Account with respect to any Administered REO Property are insufficient for the purposes contemplated by the preceding sentence with respect to such REO Property, the Master Servicer shall, at the direction 


 




  





-228-











  






 


of the Special Servicer, but subject to Section 3.11(h), make a Servicing Advance of such amounts as are necessary for such purposes unless the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer determines, in its reasonable judgment, that such advances would, if made, be Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances; provided that the Master Servicer may in its sole discretion make any such Servicing Advance without regard to recoverability if it is a necessary fee or expense incurred in connection with the defense or prosecution of legal proceedings.


 


(c)            The Special Servicer may, and, if required for the Administered REO Property to continue to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code, shall, contract with any Independent Contractor for the operation and management of any Administered REO Property, provided that:


 


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


 


(ii)           the fees of such Independent Contractor (which shall be expenses of the Trust) shall be reasonable and customary in consideration of the nature and locality of such Administered REO Property;


 


(iii)          any such contract shall be consistent with Treasury Regulations Section 1.856-6(e)(6) and shall require, or shall be administered to require, that the Independent Contractor, in a timely manner, (A) pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the operation and management of such Administered REO Property, including those listed in Section 3.17(b) above, and (B) remit all related revenues collected (net of its fees and such costs and expenses) to the Special Servicer upon receipt;


 


(iv)          none of the provisions of this Section 3.17(c) 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 hereunder with respect to the operation and management of any such Administered REO Property; and


 


(v)           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 Administered REO Property, and the Special Servicer shall comply with the Servicing Standard in maintaining such Independent Contractor.


 


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. To the extent the costs of any contract with any Independent Contractor for the operation and management of any Administered REO Property are greater than the revenues available from such property, such excess costs shall be covered by, and be reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance.

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


 


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


 


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


 


(iii)          authorize or permit any construction on any Administered 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 10% of the construction of such building or other improvement was completed before default on the related Mortgage Loan become imminent, all within the meaning of Section 856(e)(4)(B) of the Code; or


 


(iv)          except as otherwise provided for in Sections 3.17(a)(i), 3.17(a)(ii) and 3.17(a)(iii) above, Directly Operate, or allow any other Person, other than an Independent Contractor, to Directly Operate, any Administered REO Property on any date more than ninety (90) days after its date of acquisition by or on behalf of the Trust Fund;


 


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


 


(e)             Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Section 3.17 shall not apply to any REO Property related to a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan.


 


Section 3.18      Sale of Defaulted Mortgage Loans and Administered REO Properties; Sale of the Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loans. (a) The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee may sell or purchase, or permit the sale or purchase of, a Mortgage Loan or Administered REO Property only (i) on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 3.18, (ii) as otherwise expressly provided in or contemplated by Sections 2.03 and 9.01 of this Agreement, (iii) in the case of a Mortgage Loan (or Administered REO Property related thereto) with a related mezzanine loan, in connection with a Mortgage Loan default if and as set forth in the related intercreditor agreement or (iv) in the case of a Mortgage Loan related to a Serviced Loan Combination (or REO Mortgage Loan related thereto), in connection with a Mortgage Loan default if and as set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement.


 


(b)           Promptly upon a Serviced Mortgage Loan becoming a Defaulted Mortgage Loan and if the Special Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that it would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders, as a collective whole (or if such Defaulted Mortgage Loan is part of a Serviced Loan Combination, in the best interest of the Certificateholders and the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder as a collective 


 




  





-230-











  






 


whole), to attempt to sell such Defaulted Mortgage Loan (and if such Defaulted Mortgage Loan is part of a Serviced Loan Combination, to sell the entire Serviced Loan Combination), the Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to solicit offers for such Defaulted Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination on behalf of the Certificateholders (or if such Defaulted Mortgage Loan is part of a Serviced Loan Combination, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder) in such manner as will be reasonably likely to realize a fair price; provided that, in the case of a Defaulted Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Loan Combination, if the Special Servicer determines to attempt to sell such Mortgage Loan it shall sell such Defaulted Mortgage Loan together with the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan as a whole loan pursuant to Section 3.18(e) and pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement. The Special Servicer shall accept the first (and, if multiple offers are contemporaneously received, the highest) cash offer received from any Person that constitutes a fair price for such Defaulted Mortgage Loan, subject to any applicable provisions in the related Intercreditor Agreement. During any Subordinate Control Period or Collective Consultation Period, the Special Servicer shall notify the Subordinate Class Representative of any inquiries or offers received regarding the sale of any Defaulted Mortgage Loan. During any Collective Consultation Period or Senior Consultation Period, the Special Servicer shall notify the Trust Advisor of any inquiries or offers received regarding the sale of any Defaulted Mortgage Loan.


 


(c)           The Special Servicer shall give the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Trust Advisor (at any time other than a Subordinate Control Period), the Subordinate Class Representative (at any time other than during a Senior Consultation Period) and the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder (at any time other than during a Senior Consultation Period) not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to sell any Defaulted Mortgage Loan. No Interested Person shall be obligated to submit an offer to purchase any Defaulted Mortgage Loan. In no event shall the Trustee, in its individual capacity, offer for or purchase any Defaulted Mortgage Loan.


 


(d)           Whether any cash offer constitutes a fair price for any Defaulted Mortgage Loan (other than a Defaulted Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Loan Combination) for purposes of Section 3.17(b) of this Agreement shall be determined by the Special Servicer, if the highest offeror is a Person other than an Interested Person, and by the Trustee, if the highest offeror is an Interested Person; provided that no offer from an Interested Person shall constitute a fair price unless (i) it is the highest offer received and (ii) at least two other offers are received from independent third parties. In determining whether any offer received from an Interested Person represents a fair price for any such Defaulted Mortgage Loan, (other than a Defaulted Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Loan Combination), 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 nine (9)-month period or, in the absence of any such Appraisal, on a new Appraisal. The appraiser conducting any such new Appraisal shall be a Qualified Appraiser selected by the Special Servicer if no Interested Person is so making an offer, with respect to a Defaulted Mortgage Loan (other than a Defaulted Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Loan Combination) and selected by the Trustee if an Interested Person is so making an offer. The cost of any such Appraisal shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to the proviso in the first sentence of this paragraph, in the event that an offer from an Interested Person is equal to or in 


 




  





-231-











  






 


excess of the Purchase Price for such Mortgage Loan, then such offer shall be deemed to be a fair price and the Trustee shall not make such determination; provided that receipt by the Trustee of such offer pursuant to the applicable notice provisions set forth in Section 12.05 of this Agreement shall be deemed receipt by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee for the purpose of this sentence. Where any Interested Person is among those submitting offers with respect to a Defaulted Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall require that all offers be submitted to the Trustee in writing. In determining whether any such offer from a Person other than an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for any such Defaulted Mortgage Loan (other than a Defaulted Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Loan Combination), the Special Servicer shall take into account (in addition to the results of any Appraisal, updated Appraisal or narrative appraisal that it may have obtained pursuant to this Agreement within the prior nine (9) months), and in determining whether any offer from an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for any such Defaulted Mortgage Loan (other than a Defaulted Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Loan Combination), any appraiser shall be instructed to take into account, as applicable, among other factors, the period and amount of any delinquency on the affected Mortgage Loan, the occupancy level and physical condition of the related Mortgaged Property and the state of the local economy. The Trustee may conclusively rely on the opinion of an Independent appraiser or other Independent expert in real estate matters retained by the Trustee at the expense of the Trust Fund in connection with making such determination. The Purchase Price for any Defaulted Mortgage Loan shall in all cases be deemed a fair price (but subject to the proviso in the first sentence of this paragraph with respect to an offer from an Interested Person).


 


Notwithstanding anything contained in the preceding paragraph to the contrary, if the Trustee is required to determine whether a cash offer by an Interested Person constitutes a fair price, the Trustee may (at its option and at the expense of the Trust Fund) designate an independent third party expert in real estate or commercial mortgage loan matters with at least 5 years’ experience in valuing loans similar to the subject Mortgage Loan, that has been selected with reasonable care by the Trustee to determine if such cash offer constitutes a fair price for such Mortgage Loan. If the Trustee designates such a third party to make such determination, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon such third party’s determination. The reasonable costs of all appraisals, inspection reports and broker opinions of value incurred by any such third party pursuant to this paragraph shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable from, the offering Interested Person, and to the extent not collected from such Interested Person within 30 days of request therefor, from the Collection Account; provided that, the Trustee shall not engage a third party expert whose fees exceed a commercially reasonable amount as determined by the Trustee.


 


(e)           In the case of a Defaulted Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Loan Combination, the Special Servicer shall solicit offers for such Defaulted Mortgage Loan together with the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan as a whole loan and shall require that all offers be submitted to the Trustee in writing and otherwise meet the requirements of the related Intercreditor Agreement. Whether any cash offer constitutes a fair price for any such Serviced Loan Combination for purposes of Section 3.17(b) of this Agreement shall be determined by the Trustee; provided that no offer from an Interested Person (as defined in the related Intercreditor Agreement) for a Serviced Loan Combination shall constitute a fair price unless (i) it is the highest offer received and (ii) at least two other bona fide offers are received from independent third parties. In determining whether any offer received represents a fair price for any such 


 




  





-232-











  






 


Serviced Loan Combination, 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 nine (9)-month period or, in the absence of any such Appraisal, on a new Appraisal. The Trustee shall select the appraiser conducting any such new Appraisal. The cost of any such Appraisal shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance. In determining whether any such offer from a Person constitutes a fair price for any such Serviced Loan Combination, the Trustee shall instruct the appraiser to take into account (in addition to the results of any Appraisal and updated Appraisal that it may have obtained pursuant to this Agreement within the prior nine (9) months), as applicable, among other factors, the period and amount of any delinquency on the affected Serviced Loan Combination, the occupancy level and physical condition of the related Mortgaged Property and the state of the local economy. The Trustee may conclusively rely on the opinion of an Independent appraiser or other Independent expert in real estate matters retained by the Trustee at the expense of the Trust Fund in connection with making such determination. The Trustee shall act in a commercially reasonable and diligent manner in making such determination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer shall not be permitted to sell the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan without the written consent of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder unless the Special Servicer has delivered to any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder: (a) at least 15 Business Days prior written notice of any decision to attempt to sell any related Serviced Loan Combination; (b) at least 10 days prior to the proposed sale, a copy of each bid package (together with any amendments to such bid packages) received by the Special Servicer in connection with any such proposed sale, (c) at least 10 days prior to the proposed sale, a copy of the most recent Appraisal for any such Serviced Loan Combination, and any documents in the Servicing File requested by any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder and (d) until the sale is completed, and a reasonable period of time (but no less time than is afforded to other offerors and the Subordinate Class Representative) 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; provided that the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder may waive any of the delivery or timing requirements set forth in this sentence. Subject to the foregoing, each of the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder, the Subordinate Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period), any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder or a representative thereof shall be permitted to bid at any sale of the Mortgage Loan.


 


Notwithstanding anything contained in the preceding paragraph to the contrary, to the extent consistent with the related Intercreditor Agreement, if the Trustee is required to determine whether a cash offer by an Interested Person constitutes a fair price, the Trustee may (at its option and at the expense of the Trust Fund) designate an independent third party expert in real estate or commercial mortgage loan matters with at least 5 years’ experience in valuing loans similar to the subject mortgage loan, that has been selected with reasonable care by the Trustee to determine if such cash offer constitutes a fair price for such mortgage loan. If the Trustee designates such a third party to make such determination, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon such third party’s determination. The reasonable costs of all appraisals, inspection reports and broker opinions of value incurred by any such third party pursuant to this paragraph shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable from, the offering Interested Person, and to the extent not collected from such Interested Person within 30 days of request therefor, 


 




  





-233-











  






 


from the Collection Account; provided that, the Trustee shall not engage a third party expert whose fees exceed a commercially reasonable amount as determined by the Trustee.


 


(f)            The Special Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts, consistent with the Servicing Standard, to solicit cash offers for each Administered REO Property in such manner as will be reasonably likely to realize a fair price (determined pursuant to Section 3.18(g) below) for any Administered REO Property within a customary and normal time frame for the sale of comparable properties (and, in any event, within the time period provided for by Section 3.16(a)). The Special Servicer shall accept the first (and, if multiple cash offers are received by a specified offer date, the highest) cash offer received from any Person that constitutes a fair price (determined pursuant to Section 3.18(g) below) for such Administered REO Property. If the Special Servicer reasonably believes that it will be unable to realize a fair price (determined pursuant to Section 3.18(g) below) with respect to any Administered REO Property within the time constraints imposed by Section 3.16(a), then the Special Servicer shall, consistent with the Servicing Standard, dispose of such Administered REO Property upon such terms and conditions as it shall deem necessary and desirable to maximize the recovery thereon under the circumstances.


 


The Special Servicer shall give the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Subordinate Class Representative, the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder not less than five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to sell any Administered REO Property pursuant to this Section 3.18(f).


 


No Mortgage Loan Seller, Certificateholder or any Affiliate of any such Person shall be obligated to submit an offer to purchase any Administered REO Property, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Trustee, in its individual capacity, may not offer for or purchase any Administered REO Property pursuant hereto.


 


(g)           Whether any cash offer constitutes a fair price for any Administered REO Property for purposes of Section 3.18(f) above, shall be determined by the Special Servicer or, if such cash offer is from the Special Servicer or any Affiliate of the Special Servicer, by the Trustee. In determining whether any offer received from the Special Servicer or an Affiliate of the Special Servicer represents a fair price for any Administered REO Property, the Trustee shall be supplied with and shall be entitled to rely on the most recent Appraisal in the related Servicing File conducted in accordance with this Agreement within the preceding nine-month period (or, in the absence of any such Appraisal or if there has been a material change at the subject property since any such Appraisal, on a new Appraisal to be obtained by the Special Servicer, the cost of which shall be covered by, and be reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance). The appraiser conducting any such new Appraisal shall be a Qualified Appraiser that is (i) selected by the Special Servicer if neither the Special Servicer nor any Affiliate thereof is submitted an offer with respect to the subject Administered REO Property and (ii) selected by the Trustee if either the Special Servicer or any Affiliate thereof is so submitting an offer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, in the event that an offer from the Special Servicer or an Affiliate thereof is equal to or in excess of the Purchase Price for such REO Property, then the Trustee shall not make any determination of fair price and such offer shall be deemed to be a fair price (provided such offer is also the highest cash offer received and at least two independent offers have been received); provided that receipt 


 




  





-234-











  






 


by the Trustee of such offer pursuant to the applicable notice provisions set forth in Section 12.05 of this Agreement shall be deemed receipt by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee for the purpose of this sentence. Where any Mortgage Loan Seller, any Certificateholder or any Affiliate of any such Person is among those submitting offers with respect to any Administered REO Property, the Special Servicer shall require that all offers be submitted to it (or, if the Special Servicer or an Affiliate thereof is submitting an offer, be submitted to the Trustee) in writing and, if applicable, otherwise meet the requirements of the related Intercreditor Agreement. In determining whether any offer from a Person other than any Mortgage Loan Seller, any Certificateholder or any Affiliate of any such Person constitutes a fair price for any Administered REO Property, the Special Servicer (or the Trustee, if applicable) shall take into account the results of any Appraisal or updated Appraisal that it or the Master Servicer may have obtained in accordance with this Agreement within the prior nine (9) months, as well as, among other factors, the occupancy level and physical condition of such Administered REO Property, the state of the then-current local economy and commercial real estate market where such Administered REO Property is located and the obligation to dispose of such Administered REO Property within a customary and normal time frame for the sale of comparable properties (and, in any event, within the time period specified in Section 3.16(a)). The Trustee may conclusively rely on the opinion of an Independent appraiser or other Independent expert in real estate matters retained by the Trustee at the expense of the Trust Fund in connection with making any such determination. The Purchase Price for any Administered REO Property (which, in connection with an Administered REO Property related to a Serviced Loan Combination, shall be construed and calculated with respect to the entire Serviced Loan Combination) shall in all cases be deemed a fair price. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 3.18, no cash offer from the Special Servicer or any Affiliate thereof shall constitute a fair price for any Administered REO Property unless such offer is the highest cash offer received and at least two Independent offers (not including the offer of the Special Servicer or any Affiliate) have been received. In the event the offer of the Special Servicer or any Affiliate thereof is the only offer received or is the higher of only two offers received, then additional offers shall be solicited. If an additional offer or offers, as the case may be, are received for any Administered REO Property and the original offer of the Special Servicer or any Affiliate thereof is the highest of all offers received, then the offer of the Special Servicer or such Affiliate shall be accepted, provided that the Trustee has otherwise determined, as provided above in Section 3.18(f), that such offer constitutes a fair price for the subject Administered REO Property. Any offer by the Special Servicer for any Administered REO Property shall be unconditional; and, if accepted, the subject Administered REO Property shall be transferred to the Special Servicer without recourse, representation or warranty other than customary representations as to title given in connection with the sale of a real property.


 


Notwithstanding anything contained in the preceding paragraph to the contrary, and, if applicable, to the extent consistent with any related Intercreditor Agreement, if the Trustee is required to determine whether a cash offer by an Interested Person constitutes a fair price, the Trustee may (at its option and at the expense of the Trust Fund) designate an independent third party expert in real estate or commercial mortgage loan matters with at least 5 years’ experience in valuing loans similar to the subject mortgage loan, that has been selected with reasonable care by the Trustee to determine if such cash offer constitutes a fair price for such mortgage loan. If the Trustee designates such a third party to make such determination, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon such third party’s determination. The 


 




  





-235-











  






 


reasonable costs of all appraisals, inspection reports and broker opinions of value incurred by any such third party pursuant to this paragraph shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable from, the offering Interested Person, and to the extent not collected from such Interested Person within 30 days of request thereof, from the applicable Collection Account; provided that, the Trustee shall not engage a third party expert whose fees exceed a commercially reasonable amount as determined by the Trustee.


 


(h)           Subject to Sections 3.18(a) through 3.18(g) above, the Special Servicer shall act on behalf of the Trust in negotiating with Independent third parties in connection with the sale of any Defaulted Mortgage Loan or Administered REO Property and taking any other action necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of any Defaulted Mortgage Loan or Administered REO Property, and the collection of all amounts payable in connection therewith. In connection with the sale of any Defaulted Mortgage Loan or Administered REO Property, the Special Servicer may charge prospective offerors, and may retain, fees that approximate the Special Servicer’s actual costs in the preparation and delivery of information pertaining to such sales or evaluating offers without obligation to deposit such amounts into the Collection Account; provided that if the Special Servicer was previously reimbursed for such costs from the Collection Account, then the Special Servicer must deposit such amounts into the Collection Account. Any sale of a Defaulted Mortgage Loan or any Administered REO Property shall be final and without recourse to the Trustee or the Trust, and if such sale is consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, neither the Special Servicer nor the Trustee shall have any liability to any Certificateholder with respect to the purchase price therefor accepted by the Special Servicer or the Trustee.


 


(i)            Any sale of any Defaulted Mortgage Loan or Administered REO Property shall be for cash only. The Special Servicer shall have no authority to provide financing to the purchaser.


 


(j)            With respect to any Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan that becomes a “Defaulted Mortgage Loan” (as such term or other similar term is defined pursuant to the terms of the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement and construed as if such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan were a “Mortgage Loan” under such Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the liquidation of such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan shall be administered by the related Non-Trust Special Servicer in accordance with the Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the related Intercreditor Agreement. Any such sale of a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan pursuant to the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement and/or the related Intercreditor Agreement shall be final and without recourse to the Trustee or the Trust, and none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee shall have any liability to any Certificateholder with respect to the purchase price for such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan accepted on behalf of the Trust.


 


(k)           If any Defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Property is sold under this Section 3.18, or a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan is sold in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement and the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement, then the purchase price shall be deposited into the Collection Account or, if applicable, the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account, and the Trustee, upon receipt of written notice from the Master Servicer to the effect that such deposit has been made (based

upon, in the case of a Defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Property, notification by the Special Servicer to the Master Servicer of the amount of the purchase price), shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be provided to it and are reasonably necessary to vest ownership of such Mortgage Loan or Administered REO Property in the Person who purchased such Mortgage Loan or Administered REO Property.


 


(l)            Any purchaser of a Defaulted Mortgage Loan that has a related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, whether pursuant to this Section 3.18 or pursuant to Section 2.03 or Section 9.01, will be subject to the related Intercreditor Agreement, including any requirements thereof governing who may be a holder of such Mortgage Loan. The Special Servicer will require, in connection with such a sale of such a Defaulted Mortgage Loan, that the purchaser assume in writing all of the rights and obligations of the holder of such Mortgage Loan under the related Intercreditor Agreement.


 


(m)          In connection with the sale of any Defaulted Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan) under the provisions described in this Section 3.18 for an amount less than the Purchase Price, the Special Servicer shall obtain the approval of the Subordinate Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period) or consult with the Subordinate Class Representative (during any Collective Consultation Period) and the Special Servicer shall consult with the Trust Advisor (during any Collective Consultation Period or Senior Consultation Period), subject to the Special Servicer’s prevailing duty to comply with the Servicing Standard. In addition, in considering such a sale, the Special Servicer shall consider the interests only of the Certificateholders and, in the case of a Defaulted Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Loan Combination, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder (as a collective whole, as if they together constituted a single lender) (for example, if the prospective buyer making the lower offer is more likely to perform its obligations or the terms offered by the prospective buyer making the lower offer are more favorable). In connection with any consultation with the Trust Advisor contemplated above in this Section 3.18(m), the Special Servicer shall provide the Trust Advisor with any relevant information reasonably requested by the Trust Advisor in order to enable it to consult with the Special Servicer.


 


(n)           Notwithstanding any of the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 3.18, the Special Servicer shall not be obligated to accept the highest cash offer if the Special Servicer determines (in accordance with the Servicing Standard and, to the extent a Subordinate Control Period is then in effect, with the consent or deemed consent of the Subordinate Class Representative and, to the extent a Collective Consultation Period or a Senior Consultation Period is then in effect, in consultation with the Trust Advisor pursuant to Section 3.28), that rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, in the case of a Defaulted Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Loan Combination, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder (as a collective whole as if they together constituted a single lender), and the Special Servicer may accept a lower cash offer (from any Person other than itself or an Affiliate) if it determines, in its reasonable and good faith judgment, that acceptance of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, in the case of a Defaulted Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Loan Combination, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) (as a collective whole as if they together constituted a single lender). In connection with any consultation with the Trust Advisor contemplated above in this Section 3.18(n), the Special Servicer shall provide the Trust Advisor with any relevant

information reasonably requested by the Trust Advisor in order to enable it to consult with the Special Servicer.


 


Section 3.19      Additional Obligations of Master Servicer and Special Servicer. (a) Within sixty (60) days (or within such longer period as the Special Servicer is (as certified thereby to the Trustee in writing) diligently using reasonable efforts to obtain the Appraisal referred to below) after the earliest of the date on which any Serviced Mortgage Loan (i) becomes a Modified Mortgage Loan following the occurrence of a Servicing Transfer Event, (ii) becomes an REO Mortgage Loan, (iii) with respect to which a receiver or similar official is appointed and continues for sixty (60) days in such capacity in respect of the related Mortgaged Property, (iv) the related Borrower becomes the subject of bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceedings or, if such proceedings are involuntary, such proceedings remain undismissed for sixty (60) days, (v) any Monthly Payment (other than a Balloon Payment) becomes sixty (60) days or more delinquent, or (vi) the related Borrower fails to make when due any Balloon Payment and the Borrower does not deliver to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, on or before the Due Date of the Balloon Payment, a written and fully executed (subject only to customary final closing conditions) refinancing commitment from an acceptable lender and reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Master Servicer (and the Master Servicer shall promptly forward such commitment to the Special Servicer) which provides that such refinancing will occur within 120 days after the date on which the Balloon Payment will become due (provided that if either such refinancing does not occur during that time or the Master Servicer is required during that time to make any P&I Advance in respect of the Mortgage Loan, an Appraisal Trigger Event will occur immediately) (each such event, an “Appraisal Trigger Event” and each such Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related REO Mortgage Loan that is the subject of an Appraisal Trigger Event, until it ceases to be such in accordance with the following paragraph, a “Required Appraisal Loan”), the Special Servicer shall obtain an Appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property, unless an Appraisal thereof had previously been received (or, if applicable, conducted) within the prior nine (9) months and the Special Servicer has no knowledge of changed circumstances that in the Special Servicer’s reasonable judgment would materially affect the value of the Mortgaged Property. The Special Servicer shall forward a copy of any Appraisal it receives to the Subordinate Class Representative (only for so long as any Subordinate Control Period or any Collective Consultation Period is continuing). If such Appraisal is obtained from a Qualified Appraiser, the cost thereof shall be covered by, and be reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance, such Advance to be made at the direction of the Special Servicer when the Appraisal is received by the Special Servicer. Promptly following the receipt of, and based upon, such Appraisal and receipt of information requested by the Special Servicer from the Master Servicer pursuant to the last paragraph of this Section 3.19(a), the Special Servicer, in consultation with (i) the Subordinate Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period) or (ii) one or more of the Subordinate Class Representative and the Trust Advisor, under the procedures set forth in Sections 3.28(d) and 3.28(e) (during any Collective Consultation Period or Senior Consultation Period), shall determine and report to the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Master Servicer the then applicable Appraisal Reduction Amount, if any, with respect to the subject Required Appraisal Loan. For purposes of this Section 3.19(a), an Appraisal may, in the case of any Serviced Mortgage Loan with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of less than $2,000,000 only, consist solely of an internal valuation performed by the Special Servicer. In connection with a Mortgaged Property related to any Serviced Loan Combination, the Special Servicer shall also determine and report to the Trustee, 


 




  





-238-











  






 


the Master Servicer, the Subordinate Class Representative, any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder and the related Other Master Servicer the Appraisal Reduction Amount, if any, with respect to the entire such Serviced Loan Combination (calculated, for purposes of this sentence, as if it were a single Mortgage Loan).


 


A Serviced Mortgage Loan shall cease to be a Required Appraisal Loan if and when, following the occurrence of the most recent Appraisal Trigger Event, any and all Servicing Transfer Events with respect to such Mortgage Loan have ceased to exist and no other Appraisal Trigger Event has occurred with respect thereto during the preceding ninety (90) days.


 


For so long as any Serviced Mortgage Loan or related REO Mortgage Loan remains a Required Appraisal Loan, the Special Servicer shall, every nine (9) months after such Mortgage Loan becomes a Required Appraisal Loan, obtain (or, if such Required Appraisal Loan has a Stated Principal Balance of less than $2,000,000, at the Special Servicer’s option, conduct) an update of the prior Appraisal. If such update is obtained from a Qualified Appraiser, the cost thereof shall be covered by, and be reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance, such Advance to be made at the direction of the Special Servicer when the Appraisal is received by the Special Servicer. Promptly following the receipt of, and based upon, such update, the Special Servicer shall redetermine, in consultation with (i) the Subordinate Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period) or (ii) one or more of the Subordinate Class Representative and the Trust Advisor, under the procedures set forth in Sections 3.28(d) and 3.28(e) (during any Collective Consultation Period or Senior Consultation Period), and report to the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Master Servicer and, so long as any Subordinate Control Period or Collective Consultation Period is continuing, the Subordinate Class Representative the then applicable Appraisal Reduction Amount, if any, with respect to the subject Required Appraisal Loan. In connection with a Mortgaged Property related to any Serviced Loan Combination, promptly following the receipt of, and based upon, such update, the Special Servicer shall also redetermine, and report to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Subordinate Class Representative and related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) the Appraisal Reduction Amount, if any, with respect to the entire such Serviced Loan Combination (calculated, for purposes of this sentence, as if it were a single Mortgage Loan).


 


Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to the final paragraph of this Section 3.19(a), solely for purposes of determining whether a Subordinate Control Period is in effect (and the identity of the Subordinate Class), whenever the Special Servicer is required to obtain an Appraisal or updated Appraisal under this Agreement, the Subordinate Class Representative shall have the right, exercisable within ten (10) Business Days after the Special Servicer’s delivery of such Appraisal or updated Appraisal and report of the resulting Appraisal Reduction Amount to the Subordinate Class Representative, to direct the Special Servicer to hire a Qualified Appraiser reasonably satisfactory to the Subordinate Class Representative to prepare a second Appraisal of the Mortgaged Property at the expense of the Subordinate Class Representative. The Special Servicer must use reasonable efforts to cause the delivery of such second Appraisal within thirty (30) days following the direction of the Subordinate Class Representative. Within ten (10) Business Days following its receipt of such second Appraisal, the Special Servicer shall (i) deliver a copy of such second Appraisal to the Subordinate Class Representative (but only during the continuance of a Subordinate Control Period or a Collective Consultation Period) and (ii) (in any case) determine, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, 


 




  





-239-











  






 


whether, based on its assessment of such second Appraisal and receipt of information requested from the Master Servicer reasonably required to perform such recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount, any recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount is warranted and, if so, the Special Servicer shall recalculate the applicable Appraisal Reduction Amount on the basis of such second Appraisal and receipt of information requested by the Special Servicer from the Master Servicer pursuant to the last paragraph of this Section 3.19(a). Solely for purposes of determining whether a Subordinate Control Period is in effect and the identity of the Subordinate Class:


 


(i)             the first Appraisal shall be disregarded and have no force or effect, and, if an Appraisal Reduction Amount is already then in effect, the Appraisal Reduction Amount for the related Mortgage Loan shall be calculated on the basis of the most recent prior Appraisal or updated Appraisal obtained under this Agreement (or, if no such Appraisal exists, there shall be no Appraisal Reduction Amount for purposes of determining whether a Subordinate Control Period is in effect and the identity of the Subordinate Class) unless and until the (a) the Subordinate Class Representative fails to exercise its right to direct the Special Servicer to obtain a second Appraisal within the exercise period described above or (b) if the Subordinate Class Representative exercises its right to direct the Special Servicer to obtain a second Appraisal, such second Appraisal is not received by the Special Servicer within ninety (90) days following such direction, whichever occurs earlier (and, in such event, an Appraisal Reduction Amount calculated on the basis of such first Appraisal, if any, shall be effective); and


 


(ii)            if the Subordinate Class Representative exercises its right to direct the Special Servicer to obtain a second Appraisal and such second Appraisal is received by the Special Servicer within ninety (90) days following such direction, the Appraisal Reduction Amount (if any), calculated on the basis of the second Appraisal (if the Special Servicer determines that a recalculation was warranted as described above) or (otherwise) on the basis of the first Appraisal shall be effective.


 


In addition, if there is a material change with respect to any of the Mortgaged Properties related to a Serviced Mortgage Loan with respect to which an Appraisal Reduction Amount has been calculated, then (i) during any Subordinate Control Period, the Holder (or group of Holders) of Certificates representing a majority of the aggregate Voting Rights of the Classes of Principal Balance Certificates reduced by Appraisal Reduction Amounts allocated thereto to less than 25% of the initial Class Principal Balance of each such Class and (ii) during any Collective Consultation Period, the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder, shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to present to the Special Servicer an additional Appraisal prepared by a Qualified Appraiser on an “as-is” basis and acceptable to the Special Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard. Subject to the Special Servicer’s confirmation, determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that there has been a change with respect to the related Mortgaged Property and such change was material, the Special Servicer shall recalculate such Appraisal Reduction Amount based upon such additional Appraisal and updated information. If required by any such recalculation, any applicable Class of Principal Balance Certificates notionally reduced by any Appraisal Reduction Amounts allocated to such Class shall have its related Certificate Principal Balance notionally restored to the extent required by such recalculation, and there shall be a redetermination of whether a Subordinate Control Period 


 




  





-240-











  






 


or a Collective Consultation Period is then in effect. With respect to each Class of Control-Eligible Certificates, the right to present the Special Servicer with any such additional Appraisals as provided above is limited to no more frequently than once in any 12-month period for each Serviced Mortgage Loan with respect to which an Appraisal Reduction Amount has been calculated.


 


With respect to any Appraisal Reduction Amount calculated for the purposes of determining the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder, the existence of a Subordinate Control Period, Collective Consultation Period or Senior Consultation Period and, if applicable, the allocation of Voting Rights among the respective Classes of Principal Balance Certificates, (i) the Appraised Value of the related Mortgaged Property used to calculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount shall be determined on an “as-is” basis and (ii) the Appraisal Reduction Amount so calculated shall be notionally allocable between the respective Classes of Principal Balance Certificates in reverse order of their alphanumeric designations (in each case until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof is notionally reduced to zero) and the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Certificates shall be treated as a single Class in such notional allocation which single class shall be allocated Appraisal Reduction Amount(s) only after the Certificate Principal Balance of Class A-S is notionally reduced to zero; provided, however, that for the purposes of such allocation, Appraisal Reduction Amounts shall be allocated to the respective Class PEX Components rather than to the Class PEX Certificates, and for the purposes of such allocation (A) the Class A-S Certificates and the Class A-S-PEX Component shall be considered as if they together constitute a single “Class” with an alphanumeric designation of “A-S”, (B) the Class B Certificates and the Class B-PEX Component shall be considered as if they together constitute a single “Class” with an alphanumeric designation of “B”, and (C) the Class C Certificates and the Class C-PEX Component shall be considered as if they together constitute as single “Class” with an alphanumeric designation of “C”.


 


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


 


(b)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any other Section of this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer whenever a Servicing Advance is required to be made with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or Administered REO Property, and, the Master Servicer shall (subject to Section 3.11(h)) make such Servicing Advance; provided that the Special Servicer shall either (i) make any Servicing Advance (other than a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance) on a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or Administered REO Property that constitutes an Emergency Advance or (ii) notify the Master Servicer no later than one (1) Business Day after the Special Servicer acquires actual 


 




  





-241-











  






knowledge of the need for such Emergency Advance and request the Master Servicer to make such Emergency Advance. Each such notice and request shall be made, in writing, not less than five (5) Business Days or, in the case of an Emergency Advance, not later than two (2) Business Days (provided the request sets forth the nature of the emergency), in advance of the date on which the subject Servicing Advance is to be made and shall be accompanied by such information and documentation regarding the subject Servicing Advance as the Master Servicer may reasonably request; provided that the Special Servicer shall not be entitled to make such a request more frequently than once per calendar month with respect to Servicing Advances other than Emergency Advances (although such request may relate to more than one Servicing Advance). The Master Servicer shall have the obligation to make any such Servicing Advance (other than a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance) that it is so requested by the Special Servicer to make (as described above) not later than the date on which the subject Servicing Advance is to be made, but in no event shall it be required to make any Servicing Advance on a date that is earlier than five (5) Business Days or, in the case of an Emergency Advance, on a date that is earlier than two (2) Business Days, following the Master Servicer’s receipt of such request. If the request is timely and properly made, the requesting Special Servicer shall be relieved of any obligations with respect to a Servicing Advance that it so requests the Master Servicer to make with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or Administered REO Property (regardless of whether or not the Master Servicer shall make such Servicing Advance). The Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for any Servicing Advance made by it at the direction of the Special Servicer, together with Advance Interest in accordance with Sections 3.05(a) and 3.11(g), at the same time, in the same manner and to the same extent as the Master Servicer is entitled with respect to any other Servicing Advances made thereby. Any request by the Special Servicer that the Master Servicer make a Servicing Advance shall be deemed to be a determination by the Special Servicer that such Servicing Advance is not a Nonrecoverable Advance, on which deemed determination the Master Servicer is entitled to rely. The preceding statement shall not be construed to limit the right of the Special Servicer under Section 3.11(i) with respect to the payment of any servicing expense that, if advanced, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. If the Special Servicer makes an Emergency Advance, the Master Servicer shall reimburse the Special Servicer for such Emergency Advance (with Advance Interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate) within five (5) Business Days following the Special Servicer’s request for reimbursement (which request shall be accompanied by such information and documentation regarding the subject Emergency Advance as the Master Servicer may reasonably request), upon which reimbursement the Master Servicer will be deemed to have made such Emergency Advance when the Special Servicer made such Emergency Advance.


 


Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.19(b), the Master Servicer shall not be required to reimburse the Special Servicer for, or to make at the direction of the Special Servicer, any Servicing Advance if the Master Servicer determines in its reasonable judgment that such Servicing Advance, although not characterized by the Special Servicer as a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, is in fact a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. The Master Servicer shall notify the Special Servicer in writing of such determination and, if applicable, such Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance shall be reimbursed to the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.05(a).

(c)           The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account by 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Master Servicer Remittance Date, without any right of reimbursement therefor, a cash payment (a “Compensating Interest Payment”) in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the aggregate amount of Prepayment Interest Shortfalls incurred in connection with voluntary Principal Prepayments received in respect of the Serviced Mortgage Loans (other than Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and Serviced Mortgage Loans on which the Special Servicer allowed or consented to the Master Servicer allowing a Principal Prepayment on a date other than the applicable Due Date) during the related Collection Period, and (ii) the aggregate of (A) that portion of its Master Servicing Fees earned by the Master Servicer for the related Distribution Date that is, in the case of each and every Serviced Mortgage Loan and REO Mortgage Loan for which such Master Servicing Fees are being paid in the related Collection Period, calculated for this purpose at one (1) basis point (0.01%) per annum, and (B) all Prepayment Interest Excesses received by the Master Servicer during the related Collection Period; provided that the Master Servicer shall pay (without regard to clause (ii) above) the amount of any Prepayment Interest Shortfall otherwise described in clause (i) above incurred in connection with any Principal Prepayment received in respect of a Serviced Mortgage Loan during the related Collection Period to the extent such Prepayment Interest Shortfall occurs as a result of the Master Servicer allowing the related Borrower to deviate from the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents regarding Principal Prepayments (other than (w) subsequent to a default under the related Mortgage Loan Documents, (x) pursuant to applicable law or a court order (including in connection with amounts collected as Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds to the extent that such applicable law or court order limits the ability of the Master Servicer to apply the proceeds in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan Documents), (y) at the request or with the consent of the Special Servicer, or (z) during any Subordinate Control Period or Collective Consultation Period, at the request or with the consent of the Subordinate Class Representative).


 


The rights of the Certificateholders to offsets of any Prepayment Interest Shortfalls shall not be cumulative from Collection Period to Collection Period.


 


(d)         With respect to each Serviced Mortgage Loan that is to be defeased in accordance with its terms, the Master Servicer shall execute and deliver to each Rating Agency (subject to Section 3.27) a certification substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit N and, further, shall, to the extent permitted by the terms of such Mortgage Loan, require the related Borrower (i) to provide replacement collateral consisting of U.S. government securities within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act in an amount sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the subject Serviced Mortgage Loan (or defeased portion thereof) when due (and assuming, in the case of an ARD Mortgage Loan, to the extent consistent with the related Mortgage Loan Documents, that the subject ARD Mortgage Loan matures on its Anticipated Repayment Date), (ii) to deliver a certificate from an independent certified public accounting firm certifying that the replacement collateral is sufficient to make such payments, (iii) at the option of the Master Servicer, to designate a single purpose entity (which may be (but is not required to be) a subsidiary of the Master Servicer established for the purpose of assuming all defeased Serviced Mortgage Loans) to assume the subject Serviced Mortgage Loan (or defeased portion thereof) and own the defeasance collateral, (iv) to implement such defeasance only after the second anniversary of the Closing Date, (v) to provide an Opinion of Counsel that the Trustee has a perfected, first priority security interest in the new collateral, and (vi) in the


 




  





-243-











  






 


case of a partial defeasance of the subject Serviced Mortgage Loan, to defease a principal amount equal to at least 125% of the allocated loan amount for the Mortgaged Property or Properties to be released; provided that, if (A) the subject Serviced Mortgage Loan has a Cut-off Date Principal Balance greater than or equal to $35,000,000 or an outstanding principal balance greater than or equal to 2% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Pool or is one of the ten largest Mortgage Loans then in the Trust Fund, (B) the terms of the subject Serviced Mortgage Loan do not permit the Master Servicer to impose the foregoing requirements and the Master Servicer does not satisfy such requirements on its own or (C) the Master Servicer is unable to execute and deliver the certification attached hereto as Exhibit N in connection with the subject defeasance, then the Master Servicer shall so notify the Rating Agencies (subject to Section 3.27), the Subordinate Class Representative and the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder and, if any Mortgage Loan in a Serviced Loan Combination is involved, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) and, so long as such a requirement would not violate applicable law or the Servicing Standard, obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation (subject to Section 3.27) with respect to such defeasance. Subject to the related Mortgage Loan Documents and applicable law, the Master Servicer shall not permit a defeasance unless (i) the subject Serviced Mortgage Loan requires the Borrower to pay (or the Borrower in fact pays) all Rating Agency fees associated with defeasance (if a Rating Agency Confirmation is a specific condition precedent thereto) and all expenses associated with defeasance or other arrangements for payment of such costs are made at no expense to the Trust Fund or the Master Servicer (provided that in no event shall such proposed other arrangements result in any liability to the Trust Fund including any indemnification of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer which may result in legal expenses to the Trust Fund), and (ii) the Borrower is required to provide all Opinions of Counsel, including Opinions of Counsel that the defeasance will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event or an Adverse Grantor Trust Event and that the related Mortgage Loan Documents are fully enforceable in accordance with their terms (subject to bankruptcy, insolvency and similar standard exceptions), and any applicable Rating Agency Confirmations.


 


(e)           In connection with the Serviced Mortgage Loans or any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan for which the related Borrower was required to escrow funds or post a Letter of Credit related to obtaining performance objectives, such as targeted debt service coverage levels or leasing criteria with respect to the Mortgaged Property as a whole or particular portions thereof, if the mortgagee has the discretion to retain the cash or Letter of Credit (or the proceeds of such Letters of Credit) as additional collateral if the relevant conditions to release are not satisfied, then the Master Servicer shall hold such escrows or Letters of Credit (or the proceeds of such Letters of Credit) as additional collateral and not use such funds to reduce the principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (to the extent the related Mortgage Loan Documents allow such action), unless holding such funds would otherwise be inconsistent with the Servicing Standard.


 


Section 3.20     Modifications, Waivers, Amendments and Consents. (a) The Special Servicer (in the case of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan) or the Master Servicer (in the case of a Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan or Performing Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) may (consistent with the Servicing Standard) agree to any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of, extend the maturity of, defer or forgive interest (including Default Interest) on and principal of, defer or forgive late payment charges, Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges on, permit the release, addition or substitution of collateral securing,

and/or permit the release, addition or substitution of the Borrower on or any guarantor of, any Serviced Mortgage Loan for which it is responsible, and respond to or approve Borrower requests for consent on the part of the mortgagee (including the lease reviews and lease consents related thereto), subject, however, to Sections 3.08, 3.24, 3.26, and/or 3.28, as applicable, and, in the case of each Mortgage Loan in a Serviced Loan Combination, to the rights of third parties set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement, and, further to each of the following limitations, conditions and restrictions:


 


(i)          other than as expressly set forth in Section 3.02 (with respect to Default Charges and Post-ARD Additional Interest), Section 3.07 (insurance), Section 3.08 (with respect to due-on-sale and due-on-encumbrance clauses and transfers of interests in Borrowers), Section 3.19(d) (with respect to defeasances), and Section 3.20(f) (with respect to various routine matters), the Master Servicer shall not agree to or consent to a request to any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of, or take any of the other acts referenced in this Section 3.20(a) with respect to, any Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, that would (x) affect the amount or timing of any related payment of principal, interest or other amount payable under such Mortgage Loan, (y) materially and adversely affect the security for such Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan or (z) constitute a Material Action, unless (solely in the case of a Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan or Performing Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) the Master Servicer has obtained the consent of the Special Servicer (it being understood and agreed that (A) the Master Servicer shall promptly provide the Special Servicer with (x) written notice of any Borrower request for such modification, waiver or amendment, (y) the Master Servicer’s written analysis, and (z) all information that the Special Servicer may reasonably request in order to withhold or grant any such consent, (B) the Special Servicer shall decide whether to withhold or grant such consent in accordance with the Servicing Standard (and subject to Sections 3.24 and/or 3.26, as applicable), and (C) any such consent shall be deemed to have been granted if such consent has not been expressly denied within (x), for consents other than on a Serviced Loan Combination, fifteen (15) Business Days (or in connection with an Acceptable Insurance Default, ninety (90) days) of the Special Servicer’s receipt from the Master Servicer of the Master Servicer’s written analysis and all information reasonably requested thereby in order to make an informed decision and (y), for consents on a Serviced Loan Combination, five (5) Business Days (or, in connection with an Acceptable Insurance Default with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination, thirty (30) days) after the time period provided for in the related Intercreditor Agreement;


 


(ii)         other than as provided in Sections 3.02, 3.08, and 3.20(e), the Special Servicer shall not agree to (or, in the case of a Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan or Performing Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, consent to the Master Servicer’s agreeing to) any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of, or take (or, in the case of a Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan or Performing Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, consent to the Master Servicer’s taking) any of the other acts referenced in this Section 3.20(a) with respect to, any Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan that would affect the amount or timing of any related payment of principal, interest or other amount payable thereunder or, in the reasonable judgment of the Special Servicer, would materially impair the security for

the Certificateholders (and, in the case of a Sub-Servicing Agreement related to a Serviced Loan Combination, also for the benefit of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s)), shall be a third party beneficiary under such agreement, but that (except to the extent the Trustee or its designee assumes the obligations of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, thereunder as contemplated by clause (A)(ii) above) none of the Trustee, any successor to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, or any Certificateholder (or, in the case of a Sub-Servicing Agreement related to a Serviced Loan Combination, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s)) shall have any duties under such agreement or any liabilities arising therefrom except as explicitly permitted by Section 3.22(k) below or otherwise herein; (vi) permits any purchaser of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement to terminate such agreement with respect to such purchased Mortgage Loan without cause and without payment of any termination fee; (vii) does not permit the subject Sub-Servicer any rights of indemnification out of the Trust Fund except through the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 6.03; (viii) does not impose any liability or indemnification obligation whatsoever on the Trustee or the Certificateholders with respect to anything contained therein; (ix) provides that, following receipt of the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide a copy of the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to the related Sub-Servicer, and that such Sub-Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in writing within five (5) Business Days after such Sub-Servicer discovers (without implying that the Sub-Servicer has a duty to make or attempt to make such discovery) a Document Defect or discovers (without implying that the Sub-Servicer has a duty to make or attempt to make such discovery) or receives notice of a Breach or receives a Repurchase Communication of a Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection, in each case with respect to a Mortgage Loan being sub-serviced by such Sub-Servicer; and (x) if the subject Sub-Servicer is a Servicing Function Participant or an Additional Servicer, provides that (y) the failure of such Sub-Servicer to comply with any of the requirements under Article XI of this Agreement applicable to such Sub-Servicer, including the failure to deliver any reports, certificates or disclosure information under the Exchange Act or under the rules and regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act, at the time such report, certification or information is required under Article XI and (z) the failure of such Sub-Servicer (other than with respect to Prudential Asset Resources, Inc. or Berkadia Commercial Mortgage LLC as the Primary Servicer under a Primary Servicing Agreement) to comply with any requirements to deliver any items required by Items 1122 and 1123 of Regulation AB under any other pooling and servicing agreement relating to any other series of certificates for which the Depositor or an Affiliate is the depositor shall constitute an event of default or servicer termination event on the part of such Sub-Servicer upon the occurrence of which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, and the Depositor shall be entitled to immediately terminate the related Sub-Servicer, which termination shall be deemed for cause; and (B) at the time the Sub-Servicing Agreement is entered into, the subject Sub-Servicer (other than a Designated Sub-Servicer in connection with a Sub-Servicing Agreement executed as of the Closing Date) is not a Prohibited Party unless (in the case of this clause (B)) the appointment of such Person as a Sub-Servicer has been expressly approved by the Depositor acting in its reasonable discretion.


 


(b)           References in this Agreement to actions taken or to be taken by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer include actions taken or to be taken by a Sub-Servicer on behalf


 




  





-255-











  






 


of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer. For purposes of this Agreement, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each be deemed to have received any payment when a Sub-Servicer retained by it receives such payment.


 


(c)           The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each deliver to the Custodian copies of all Sub-Servicing Agreements, and any amendments thereto and modifications thereof, entered into by it promptly upon its execution and delivery of such documents.


 


(d)           Each Sub-Servicer actually performing servicing functions shall be authorized to transact business in the state or states in which the Mortgaged Properties for the Mortgage Loans it is to service are situated, if and to the extent required by applicable law, except where the failure to so comply would not adversely affect the Sub-Servicer’s ability to perform its obligations in accordance with the terms of the related Sub-Servicing Agreement.


 


(e)           Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders (and, in the case of a Sub-Servicing Agreement related to a Serviced Loan Combination, for the benefit of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s)), shall (at no expense to any other party hereto or to the Certificateholders or the Trust) monitor the performance and enforce the obligations of their respective Sub-Servicers under the related Sub-Servicing Agreements. Such enforcement, including the legal prosecution of claims, termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements in accordance with their respective terms and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, in its reasonable judgment, would require were it the owner of the subject Mortgage Loans. Subject to the terms of the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, including any provisions thereof limiting the ability of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to terminate a Sub-Servicer, each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall have the right to remove a Sub-Servicer retained by it at any time it considers such removal to be in the best interests of Certificateholders (and/or, in the case of a Sub-Servicer for a Serviced Loan Combination, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s)), as applicable.


 


(f)           If the Trustee or its designee assumes the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer under any Sub-Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, at its expense shall, upon request of the Trustee, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to such Sub-Servicing Agreement, and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced thereunder and an accounting of amounts collected and held on behalf of it thereunder, and otherwise use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the Sub-Servicing Agreement to the assuming party.


 


(g)           Notwithstanding any Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each remain obligated and liable to the Trustee and the Certificateholders (and, in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s)) for the performance of their respective obligations and duties under this Agreement in accordance with the provisions hereof to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if it


 




  





-256-











  






 


alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans and/or REO Properties for which it is responsible. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each pay the fees of any Sub-Servicer retained by it in accordance with the respective Sub-Servicing Agreement and, in any event, from its own funds (or from funds otherwise then payable to it hereunder).


 


(h)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, any account established and maintained by a Sub-Servicer pursuant to a Sub-Servicing Agreement with the Master Servicer shall for all purposes under this Agreement be deemed to be an account established and maintained by the Master Servicer.


 


(i)            Notwithstanding any contrary provisions of the foregoing subsections of this Section 3.22, the appointment by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer of one or more third-party contractors for the purpose of performing discrete, ministerial functions shall not constitute the appointment of Sub-Servicers and shall not be subject to the provisions of this Section 3.22; provided that (a) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall remain responsible for the actions of such third-party contractors as if it were alone performing such functions and shall pay all fees and expenses of such third-party contractors; (b) such appointment imposes no additional duty on any other party to this Agreement, any successor hereunder to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, or on the Trust; and (c) the subject contractor (if it would be a Servicing Function Participant) is not a Prohibited Party at the time of such appointment unless (in the case of this clause (c)) the appointment of such contractor has been expressly approved by the Depositor acting in its reasonable discretion. The proviso to the preceding sentence shall not be construed to limit the right of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to be reimbursed for any cost or expense for which it is otherwise entitled to reimbursement under this Agreement.


 


(j)            The Special Servicer shall not enter into any Sub-Servicing Agreement unless the Subordinate Class Representative has consented thereto (during any Subordinate Control Period) or such Sub-Servicing Agreement is required to be entered into in connection with a Serviced Loan Combination pursuant to the exercise by a related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder of its rights under Section 7.01(b) of this Agreement, and the execution and delivery of such Sub-Servicing Agreement is the subject of a Rating Agency Confirmation.


 


(k)           Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement to the contrary, immediately upon the effectiveness of any resignation or termination of the Master Servicer under this Agreement or any other transaction in which a Person becomes the Master Servicer hereunder, the successor Master Servicer (including, without limitation, the Trustee if it assumes the servicing obligations of the Master Servicer) shall be deemed to automatically have assumed and agreed to the terms and provisions of each Designated Sub-Servicing Agreement without any further action. No Designated Sub-Servicing Agreement shall be deemed to be inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement solely as a result of its recognition of the provisions, or its inclusion of provisions to the effect, set forth in the preceding sentence. If a task, right or obligation of the Master Servicer is delegated to a Designated Sub-Servicer under a Designated Sub-Servicing Agreement, and such task, right or obligation involves or requires the consent of the Special Servicer, then the Special Servicer shall accept the performance of such task, right or obligation by the Designated Sub-Servicer only in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including without limitation any time periods for consent or deemed consent to be


 




  





-257-











  






 


observed by the Special Servicer) as if the Master Servicer were performing it. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the Special Servicer is neither a party to any Designated Sub-Servicing Agreement, nor is it bound by any provision of any Designated Sub-Servicing Agreement. The Special Servicer hereby acknowledges the delegation of rights and duties hereunder by the Master Servicer pursuant to the provisions of each Designated Sub-Servicing Agreement. Nothing in this Section 3.22(k) shall affect the Master Servicer’s obligations under this Section 3.22 to monitor the performance and enforce the obligations of a Designated Sub-Servicer under the related Designated Sub-Servicing Agreement, imposes any additional liability on the Special Servicer for the actions or inactions of a Designated Sub-Servicer or imposes on the Special Servicer any obligation to monitor the performance and enforce the obligations of the Designated Sub-Servicer under the related Designated Sub-Servicing Agreement. Each Designated Sub-Servicer shall be a third party beneficiary of this subsection (k). In no event shall this subsection (k) be construed to impose liability on the Trust Fund or the Special Servicer for the failure of the Master Servicer, or any successor Master Servicer, to perform its duties under any Designated Sub-Servicing Agreement.


 


Section 3.23     Subordinate Class Representative. (a) The Majority Subordinate Certificateholder shall have a continuing right, subject to and in accordance with this Section 3.23, to appoint a representative (the “Subordinate Class Representative”) having the rights and powers specified in this Agreement (including those specified in Section 3.24), and/or remove or replace any existing Subordinate Class Representative, by delivering notice to the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer and, in the case of a removal or replacement of a Subordinate Class Representative, the then existing Subordinate Class Representative; provided that Seer Capital Partners Master Fund L.P. shall be the initial Subordinate Class Representative. Such continuing right of the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder shall be exercisable in its sole discretion and at any time and from time to time, subject to subsection (b) below. If at any time the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder has not appointed a Subordinate Class Representative pursuant to this Section 3.23, then the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder shall be deemed to be the Subordinate Class Representative; provided that this provision shall not apply in the event the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder has expressly waived its right to act as or appoint a Subordinate Class Representative and to exercise any of the rights of the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder.


 


(b)           No appointment of any Person as a Subordinate Class Representative shall be effective until such Person provides the Certificate Administrator with (i) written confirmation of its acceptance of such appointment, (ii) written confirmation of its agreement to keep confidential information confidential in accordance with the provisions set forth in Exhibit K-3, (iii) an address and facsimile number for the delivery of notices and other correspondence and (iv) a list of officers or employees of such Person with whom the parties to this Agreement may deal (including their names, titles, work addresses and facsimile numbers).


 


(c)           Within ten (10) Business Days of any appointment or replacement of a Subordinate Class Representative (other than the initial Subordinate Class Representative), the Certificate Administrator shall deliver to each of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trust Advisor notice of the identity of such Subordinate Class Representative, including the name and address furnished to the Certificate Administrator under subsection (a)


 




  





-258-











  






 


above. The Certificate Administrator shall also deliver such information to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer promptly upon request therefor by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be. With respect to such information, the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to conclusively rely on information provided to it under subsection (a) above, and the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall all be entitled to rely on such information provided by the Certificate Administrator with respect to any obligation or right hereunder that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may have to deliver information or otherwise communicate with the Subordinate Class Representative. In addition to the foregoing, within two (2) Business Days of its receipt of notice of the resignation or removal of a Subordinate Class Representative, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the other parties to this Agreement of such event.


 


(d)           A Subordinate Class Representative may at any time resign as such by giving written notice to the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder, which shall thereupon give written notice to the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer. The effectiveness of such resignation shall not be conditioned upon or subject to the prior appointment or approval of a successor to the resigning Subordinate Class Representative. In no event shall the failure of the Subordinate Class Representative or the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder to provide such notice prejudice or call into question the effectiveness of such resignation. The preceding statement shall not be construed to limit the effect of subsection (e) below.


 


(e)           Once a Subordinate Class Representative has been selected pursuant to this Section 3.23, each of the parties to this Agreement shall be entitled to rely on such selection unless the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder or such Subordinate Class Representative, as applicable, shall have notified the Certificate Administrator and each other party to this Agreement, in writing, of the resignation or removal of such Subordinate Class Representative.


 


(f)            Any and all expenses of the Subordinate Class Representative shall be borne by the Holders (or, if applicable, the Certificate Owners) of Certificates of the Subordinate Class, pro rata according to their respective Percentage Interests in such Class, and not by the Trust. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a claim is made against the Subordinate Class Representative by a Borrower with respect to this Agreement or any particular Mortgage Loan, the Subordinate Class Representative shall immediately notify the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, whereupon (if the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Trust are also named parties to the same action and, in the sole judgment of the Special Servicer, (i) the Subordinate Class Representative had acted in good faith, without negligence or willful misfeasance, with regard to the particular matter at issue, and (ii) there is no potential for the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Trust to be an adverse party in such action as regards the Subordinate Class Representative) the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust shall, subject to Section 6.03 and the consent of the Subordinate Class Representative, assume, at the expense of the Trust Fund, the defense of any such claim against the Subordinate Class Representative; provided that no judgment against the Subordinate Class Representative shall be payable out of the Trust Fund. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the termination or resignation of any Subordinate Class Representative.

(g)           The Subordinate Class Representative may receive amounts payable to the Special Servicer as special servicing compensation as described in and to the extent as the Special Servicer and the Subordinate Class Representative may agree.


 


(h)           In addition, upon request of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or Trust Advisor, as applicable, the Certificate Administrator shall reasonably promptly provide the name of the then-current Majority Subordinate Certificateholder and, if requested, a list of the Certificateholders (or a securities position listing from the Depository) of the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder to such requesting party (at the expense of the Trust Fund).


 


(i)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, during such time as the Class E Certificates are the Subordinate Class, the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder may waive its rights to appoint a Subordinate Class Representative and to exercise any of the rights of the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder or to cause the exercise of the rights of the Subordinate Class Representative as set forth in this Agreement by irrevocable written notice delivered to the Depositor, Certificate Administrator, Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and Trust Advisor (any such Holder or group of affiliated Holders that makes such an election, the “Opting-Out Party”). Any such waiver shall remain effective with respect to such Holder and such Class until such time as the Opting-Out Party has sold or transferred a majority of the Class E Certificates to an unaffiliated third party (such sale or transfer, a “Class E Transfer”). Following any such Transfer the successor Majority Subordinate Certificateholder shall again have the rights of the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder as set forth herein (including the rights to appoint a Subordinate Class Representative or cause the exercise of the rights of the Subordinate Class Representative) without regard to any prior waiver by the predecessor Majority Subordinate Certificateholder. The successor Majority Subordinate Certificateholder shall also have the right as provided in this Section 3.23(i) to irrevocably waive its rights to appoint a Subordinate Class Representative and to exercise any of the rights of the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder or to cause the exercise of the rights of the Subordinate Class Representative as set forth in this Agreement. No successor Majority Subordinate Certificateholder described above shall have any consent rights with respect to any Mortgage Loan that became a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan prior to the Transfer and had not also become a Corrected Mortgage Loan prior to such Transfer until such time as such Mortgage Loan becomes a Corrected Mortgage Loan.


 


(j)            The Subordinate Class Representative may not be a Borrower or an Affiliate of a Borrower.


 


Section 3.24     Asset Status Reports and Certain Rights and Powers of the Subordinate Class Representative. (a) No later than forty-five (45) days after a Servicing Transfer Event for a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall deliver in electronic format a report (the “Asset Status Report”) with respect to such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and the related Mortgaged Property to the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder (if any) (only to the extent such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder is expressly entitled to receive such Asset Status Report under the related Intercreditor Agreement and the subject of the Asset Status Report does not involve a sale or proposed sale of the Mortgage Loan), the Subordinate Class Representative and the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder (during any Subordinate

Control Period or Collective Consultation Period), the Trust Advisor (during any Collective Consultation Period or Senior Consultation Period) and the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such report on the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 8.12(c)). Such Asset Status Report shall set forth the following information to the extent reasonably determinable:


 


(i)          a summary of the status of such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and any negotiations with the related Borrower;


 


(ii)         a discussion of the general legal and environmental considerations reasonably known to the Special Servicer (including without limitation by reason of any Phase I Environmental Assessment and any additional environmental testing contemplated by Section 3.09(c)), consistent with the Servicing Standard, that are applicable to the exercise of remedies set forth herein and to the enforcement of any related guaranties or other collateral for the related Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and whether outside legal counsel has been retained;


 


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


 


(iv)         a summary of the Special Servicer’s recommended action with respect to such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan;


 


(v)         the Appraised Value of the related Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties, together with the assumptions used in the calculation thereof (which the Special Servicer may satisfy by providing a copy of the most recently obtained Appraisal); and


 


(vi)        such other information as the Special Servicer deems relevant in light of the Servicing Standard.


 


During a Subordinate Control Period, if the Subordinate Class Representative does not disapprove an Asset Status Report within ten (10) Business Days (or, with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination, such longer period of time as may be set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement) of receipt, the Special Servicer shall implement the recommended action as outlined in the Asset Status Report. In addition, during a Subordinate Control Period, the Subordinate Class Representative may object to any Asset Status Report within ten (10) Business Days of receipt (or, with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination, such longer period of time as may be set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement); provided that the Special Servicer shall implement the recommended action as outlined in the Asset Status Report if it makes a determination in accordance with the Servicing Standard that the objection is not in the best interest of all the Certificateholders (as a collective whole, as if they together constituted a single lender). If, during a Subordinate Control Period, the Subordinate Class Representative disapproves the Asset Status Report and the Special Servicer has not made the affirmative determination described above, the Special Servicer shall revise the Asset Status Report and deliver a new Asset Status Report as soon as practicable, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after the disapproval, to the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the


 




  





-261-











  






 


Majority Subordinate Certificateholder, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder (if any) (only to the extent such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder is expressly entitled to receive such Asset Status Report under the related Intercreditor Agreement and the subject of the Asset Status Report does not involve a sale or proposed sale of the Mortgage Loan) and the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such revised Asset Status Report on the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 8.12(c)). During a Subordinate Control Period, the Special Servicer shall revise the Asset Status Report until the Subordinate Class Representative fails to disapprove the revised Asset Status Report as described above, until the Subordinate Class Representative’s approval is no longer required or until the Special Servicer makes a determination that the objection is not in the best interests of all the Certificateholders (as a collective whole, as if they together constituted a single lender). If, during a Subordinate Control Period, the Subordinate Class Representative and the Special Servicer have not agreed upon an Asset Status Report within ninety (90) days following the Subordinate Class Representative’s receipt of the initial Asset Status Report, the Special Servicer shall implement the actions described in the most recent Asset Status Report submitted by the Special Servicer to the Subordinate Class Representative. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Special Servicer determines that emergency action is necessary to protect the related Mortgaged Property or the interests of the Certificateholders, or if a failure to take any such action at such time would be inconsistent with the Servicing Standard, the Special Servicer may take actions with respect to the related Mortgaged Property before the expiration of the ten (10) Business Day period (or, with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination, such longer period of time as may be set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement) referenced above and if the Special Servicer reasonably determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that failure to take such actions before the expiration of such period would materially and adversely affect the interest of the Certificateholders and the Special Servicer has made commercially reasonable efforts, during a Subordinate Control Period, to contact the Subordinate Class Representative. The foregoing shall not relieve the Special Servicer of its duties to comply with the Servicing Standard.


 


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 3.24(a).


 


In addition, the Special Servicer shall deliver a summary (as approved by the Subordinate Class Representative if a Subordinate Control Period is in effect) of each Final Asset Status Report to the Certificate Administrator, the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder and the Trust Advisor (and, with respect to the Trust Advisor, shall also deliver each Final Asset Status Report). Upon receipt of such summary, the Certificate Administrator shall post such summary on its website in accordance with Section 8.12(b).


 


A “Final Asset Status Report”, with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, means each related Asset Status Report, together with such other data or supporting information provided by the Special Servicer to the Subordinate Class Representative, in each case prepared in connection with the workout or liquidation of such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and which, in any event, will not include any Privileged Information; provided that no Asset Status Report shall be considered to be a Final Asset Status Report unless, during a Subordinate Control Period, the Subordinate Class Representative has either finally approved of


 




  





-262-











  






 


and consented to the actions proposed to be taken in connection therewith, or has exhausted all of its rights of approval or consent, or has been deemed to approve or consent to such action.


 


Each of the Subordinate Class Representative (during any Collective Consultation Period) and the Trust Advisor (during any Collective Consultation Period and any Senior Consultation Period) will be entitled to consult on a non-binding basis with the Special Servicer and propose possible alternative courses of action and provide other feedback in respect of any Asset Status Report, and the Special Servicer shall consider such alternative courses of action and any other feedback provided by the Subordinate Class Representative and/or the Trust Advisor, as applicable. The Special Servicer may revise the Asset Status Reports as it deems reasonably necessary in accordance with the Servicing Standard to take into account any input and/or recommendations of the Subordinate Class Representative and/or the Trust Advisor. Consultation with the Trust Advisor shall occur in the manner provided in Sections 3.28(f) and 3.28(h).


 


During any Senior Consultation Period, the Trust Advisor will be entitled to consult on a non-binding basis with the Special Servicer and propose possible alternative courses of action and provide other feedback in respect of any Asset Status Report, and the Special Servicer shall consider such alternative courses of action and any other feedback provided by the Trust Advisor. The Special Servicer may revise the Asset Status Reports as it deems reasonably necessary in accordance with the Servicing Standard to take into account any input and/or recommendations of the Trust Advisor. The interaction with the Trust Advisor shall occur in the manner provided in Sections 3.28(f) and 3.28(h).


 


(b)           Upon receiving notice of the occurrence of the events described in clause (c) of the definition of Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (without regard to the sixty (60)-day or one hundred twenty (120)-day period, respectively, set forth therein), the Master Servicer shall with reasonable promptness give notice thereof, and shall use its reasonable efforts to provide the Special Servicer with all information relating to the Serviced Mortgage Loan and reasonably requested by the Special Servicer. The Master Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to comply with the preceding sentence within five (5) Business Days of the occurrence of each such event.


 


(c)           During any Subordinate Control Period, (i) the Subordinate Class Representative will be entitled to approve or disapprove Asset Status Reports and (ii) the Special Servicer generally will not be permitted to take or consent to the Master Servicer’s taking any Material Action not otherwise covered by an approved Asset Status Report, unless and until the Special Servicer has notified the Subordinate Class Representative and the Subordinate Class Representative has consented (or failed to object) thereto in writing within ten (10) Business Days (or, in connection with a leasing matter, five (5) Business Days, or in connection with an Acceptable Insurance Default, thirty (30) days) of having been notified thereof in writing and provided with all reasonably requested information by it. However, the Special Servicer may take any Material Action (or consent to the Master Servicer’s taking a Material Action) without waiting for the response of the Subordinate Class Representative if the Special Servicer determines that immediate action is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders and, if affected thereby, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s), as a collective whole. Furthermore, during a Subordinate Control Period, the Subordinate Class


 




  





-263-











  






 


Representative may, in general, direct the Special Servicer to take, or to refrain from taking, any actions as that representative may deem advisable with respect to the servicing and administration of Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Properties or as to which provision is otherwise made in this Agreement. During a Subordinate Control Period, the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder, or the Subordinate Class Representative on its behalf shall have the right to remove the existing Special Servicer, with or without cause, and appoint a successor to the Special Servicer, all as provided in Section 6.05(a).


 


During any Collective Consultation Period, the Subordinate Class Representative shall have consultation rights (in addition to those of the Trust Advisor) with respect to Material Actions not otherwise covered by an Asset Status Report as to which the Subordinate Class Representative has been consulted. During any Collective Consultation Period or Senior Consultation Period, the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder and the Subordinate Class Representative shall have no right to remove the existing Special Servicer.


 


During any Collective Consultation Period or Senior Consultation Period, the Special Servicer shall consult on a non-binding basis with the Trust Advisor with respect to Material Actions (regardless of whether such Material Action is covered by an Asset Status Report); provided that the Special Servicer shall not consult with the Trust Advisor with respect to Material Actions related to collateral substitutions, assignments, insurance policies, borrower substitutions, lease modifications and amendments and other similar actions that the Special Servicer may perform under this Agreement, to the extent such actions do not relate to the restructuring, resolution, sale or liquidation of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property.

(b)        The Master Servicer shall maintain a register (the “Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder Register”) on which the Master Servicer shall record the names and addresses of any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders and wire transfer instructions for such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders from time to time, to the extent such information is provided in writing to the Master Servicer by the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder.

If a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder transfers the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan without notice to the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer shall have no liability whatsoever for any misdirected payment on such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan and shall have no obligation to recover and redirect such payment.

The Master Servicer shall have no liability to any Person for the provision of any such names and addresses.


 


(c)         With respect to any Serviced Loan Combination during any Subordinate Control Period, the Subordinate Class Representative shall be entitled to exercise the consent rights of such Serviced Loan Combination to the extent set forth in the applicable Intercreditor Agreement, in accordance with the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement.


 


(d)         The Special Servicer (if any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or has become an REO Mortgage Loan) or the Master Servicer (with respect to any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan that is not a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan), as applicable, shall take all actions relating to the servicing and/or administration of, and the preparation and delivery of reports and other information with respect to, any Serviced Loan Combination related to any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan or any related 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 the related Intercreditor Agreement.

If any Person purchases the related Mortgage Loan as a Defaulted Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.18, then (subject to the related Intercreditor Agreement) the Person effecting the purchase must also pay and/or reimburse to the parties hereto the respective amounts then currently due and owing to them hereunder with respect to the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s) that, pursuant to this Agreement, would not otherwise have been payable out of the applicable purchase price and/or any other amounts payable in connection with such purchase (or if payable out of such purchase price and/or other amounts, remain unpaid after such application) and that, pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement, would otherwise have been payable out of future collections on such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any such purchase shall be subject to such reimbursements.

The applicable Requesting Party’s communications to confirm a Rating Agency’s receipt of information, and such Requesting Party’s additional request for the related Rating Agency Confirmation under clause (i) of the preceding sentence shall not itself be subject to the advance posting and delayed delivery requirements of Section 3.27(g) below, but this statement shall not be construed to relieve the applicable Requesting Party of compliance with Section 3.27(g) below to the extent that such communications or such additional request to a Rating Agency include or are accompanied by any information regarding the underlying request for the related Rating Agency Confirmation that was not delivered in the original request for such Rating Agency Confirmation.

(k)           Insofar as any matter involving or relating to a Serviced Loan Combination requires a Rating Agency Confirmation, the Person required to seek such Rating Agency Confirmation shall determine if an analogous rating agency confirmation either (i) is expressly required to be obtained with respect to such matter under the related Intercreditor Agreement or (ii) is expressly required (or, if the subject Serviced Loan Combination were being serviced under such Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, would have been required) to be obtained with respect to such matter under a related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and, if so required, the Person(s) seeking such Rating Agency Confirmation shall also obtain such analogous rating agency confirmation with respect to such matter from each Pari Passu Companion Rating Agency, so long as the holder(s) of such Pari Passu Companion Loan(s) have notified the parties to this Agreement of such requirement (which may be satisfied by delivery thereto of the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement and cooperation from the Other Master Servicer as to the assessment of such requirement), the identity of the applicable NRSROs, the identity of the applicable rule 17g-5 information provider and the location of the applicable rule 17g-5 information provider’s website. To the extent any provision of this Agreement requires a Requesting Party to obtain such an analogous rating agency confirmation from a Pari Passu Companion Rating Agency, the provisions of this Section 3.27 for satisfying such rating agency condition confirmation shall be applicable.


 


(l)            In connection with the delivery by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider of any information, report, notice or document for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may (but is not obligated to) send such information, report, notice or other document to the applicable Rating Agency, but any such delivery may not occur until the earlier of (i) after receipt of confirmation from the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider that such information, report, notice or document has been posted to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website or (ii) the second Business Day after it has provided such information, report, notice or other document to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider.

Trust Advisor) an Asset Status Report with respect to a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property during such preceding calendar year to perform such review of each the Special Servicer’s operational practices on a platform-level basis in light of the Servicing Standard and the requirements of this Agreement and shall discuss the Special Servicer’s stated policies and procedures, operational controls and protocols, risk management systems, technological infrastructure (systems), intellectual resources, the Special Servicer’s reasoning for believing it is in compliance with this Agreement and other pertinent information the Trust Advisor may consider relevant, in each case, insofar as such information relates to the workout, restructuring, resolution, sale or liquidation of Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans by the Special Servicer during such calendar year.


 


(ii)         Based on (a) the Trust Advisor’s review of, (1) during any Subordinate Control Period, any previously identified Final Asset Status Reports delivered to the Trust Advisor by the Special Servicer, and (2) during any Collective Consultation Period or Senior Consultation Period, any Asset Status Reports and other information delivered to the Trust Advisor by the Special Servicer (other than any communications between the Subordinate Class Representative and that Special Servicer that would be Privileged Information) and (b) during a Senior Consultation Period, the Trust Advisor’s meeting with the Special Servicer, the Trust Advisor shall prepare and deliver to the Trustee and to the Certificate Administrator (who shall promptly post such Trust Advisor Annual Report on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 8.12(b)) and the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such Trust Advisor Annual Report on the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 8.12(c)) within 120 days of the end of the prior calendar year an annual report (the “Trust Advisor Annual Report”), substantially in the form of Exhibit O-1 or Exhibit O-2, as applicable (which form may be modified or altered as to either its organization or content by the Trust Advisor, subject to compliance of such form with the terms and provisions of this Agreement including, without limitation, provisions herein relating to Privileged Information; provided that in no event shall the information or any other content included in the Trust Advisor Annual Report contravene any provision of this Agreement) setting forth the Trust Advisor’s assessment of the Special Servicer’s performance of its duties under this Agreement during the prior calendar year on a platform-level basis with respect to the workout, restructuring, resolution, sale and liquidation of Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans during the prior calendar year; provided that during any Subordinate Control Period, such assessment shall relate solely to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans with respect to which a Final Asset Status Report has been issued. If the Trust Advisor has provided for review to the Special Servicer a Trust Advisor Annual Report containing an assessment of the performance of the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.28(a)(iv) that in the reasonable view of the Special Servicer presents a negative assessment of that Special Servicer’s performance, that Special Servicer shall be permitted to provide to the Trust Advisor non-privileged information and documentation, in each case that is reasonably relevant to the facts upon which the Trust Advisor has based such assessment, and the Trust Advisor shall undertake a reasonable review of such additional limited non-privileged information and documentation prior to finalizing its annual assessment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the content of the Trust Advisor Annual Report shall be determined solely by the Trust Advisor. Subject to the restrictions and limitations in this Agreement, including, without


 




  





-278-











  






 


limitation, Section 3.28(b), (c), (d) and (g) hereof, each Trust Advisor Annual Report shall (A) identify any material deviations of which it has actual knowledge (i) from that Special Servicer’s obligations to comply with the Servicing Standard and (ii) from that Special Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement with respect to the workout, restructuring, resolution, sale or liquidation of Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and (B) comply with all of the confidentiality requirements described in this Agreement regarding Privileged Information (subject to any permitted exceptions). No Trust Advisor Annual Report shall be required from the Trust Advisor with respect to the Special Servicer if during the prior calendar year no Asset Status Report was prepared (or, during a Subordinate Control Period, finalized) by the Special Servicer in connection with a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property. Each Trust Advisor Annual Report shall be delivered to the Certificate Administrator, and the Certificate Administrator shall promptly upon receipt post such Trust Advisor Annual Report on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 8.12(b). The Trust Advisor shall also deliver a copy of each Trust Advisor Annual Report to the Special Servicer and, during any Subordinate Control Period or Collective Consultation Period, the Subordinate Class Representative and any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder. The Special Servicer and, during any Subordinate Control Period or Collective Consultation Period, the Subordinate Class Representative, shall be given an opportunity to review any annual report described in this Section 3.28(a)(ii) and produced by the Trust Advisor at least ten (10) days prior to its delivery to the Certificate Administrator.


 


(iii)        The Trust Advisor, the Trust Advisor’s subcontractors and the Trust Advisor’s Affiliates shall keep, and the Trust Advisor shall cause the Trust Advisor’s subcontractors and the Trust Advisor’s Affiliates to keep, confidential any Privileged Information received from the Special Servicer or Subordinate Class Representative in connection with the Subordinate Class Representative’s exercise of any rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, in connection with any Asset Status Report) or otherwise in connection with the Certificates. Subject to the permitted exceptions in the following sentence, the Trust Advisor shall not disclose such Privileged Information so received from the Special Servicer or Subordinate Class Representative to any other Person (including any Certificateholders which are not then Holders of the Control-Eligible Certificates), other than to the other parties to this Agreement, to any trustee or certificate administrator appointed for the benefit of any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan and to the extent expressly required by the other provisions of this Agreement and other than under the circumstances described in the following sentence. If the Trust Advisor, the Trust Advisor’s subcontractors or the Trust Advisor’s Affiliates, or any other party to this Agreement (other than the Special Servicer), receives any Privileged Information and has been advised that such information is Privileged Information, then such Person shall be prohibited from disclosing such information so received by it to any other Person, including in connection with preparing any responses to any investor-submitted inquiries posted on the Investor Q&A Forum, except to the extent that (a) the Special Servicer and the Subordinate Class Representative have consented in writing to its disclosure, (b) such Privileged Information becomes generally available and known to the public other than as a result of a disclosure directly or indirectly by such Person, (c) it is reasonable and necessary for such Person to do so in working with legal counsel, auditors, taxing authorities or other governmental agencies,


 




  





-279-











  






 


(d) such Privileged Information was already known to such Person and not otherwise subject to a confidentiality obligation, (e) such disclosure is expressly authorized or required under another provision of this Agreement and/or (f) such disclosure is required by applicable law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trust Advisor shall be permitted to share Privileged Information with its Affiliates and any subcontractors of the Trust Advisor to the extent necessary and for the sole purpose of permitting the Trust Advisor to perform its duties under this Agreement and so long as such Affiliates and any such subcontractors agree in writing to be bound by the same confidentiality provisions applicable to the Trust Advisor.


 


(iv)        During any Senior Consultation Period, the Trust Advisor shall provide the Special Servicer with at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of the date proposed for the annual meeting described in this Section 3.28(a). The Trust Advisor and the Special Servicer shall determine a mutually acceptable date for the annual meeting and the Trust Advisor shall deliver, at least fourteen (14) days prior to such annual meeting, a proposed written agenda to the Special Servicer, including the identity of the Final Asset Status Report(s), if any, that shall be discussed during the annual meeting. In connection with the annual meeting, the Trust Advisor and the Special Servicer may discuss any of the Asset Status Reports produced with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan as part of the Trust Advisor’s annual assessment of the Special Servicer. The Special Servicer shall make available Servicing Officers with relevant knowledge regarding the applicable Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and the related platform- level information for each annual meeting described in this Section 3.28.


 


(v)         If the Trust Advisor’s ability to perform its obligations in respect of the Trust Advisor Annual Report is limited or prohibited due to the failure of a party hereto to timely deliver information required to be delivered to the Trust Advisor or such information is inaccurate or incomplete, the Trust Advisor shall set forth such limitations or prohibitions in the related Trust Advisor Annual Report.


 


(b)         During a Subordinate Control Period, the Trust Advisor’s obligations shall be limited to the general reviews as set forth in this Agreement and generally will not involve an assessment of specific actions of the Special Servicer and, in any event, shall be subject to limitations described in this Agreement.


 


(c)         The Trust Advisor shall not be required, in connection with any Trust Advisor Annual Report during a Subordinate Control Period, to consider any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property with respect to which a Final Asset Status Report was not issued during the most recently ended calendar year.


 


(d)          During any Subordinate Control Period, the Special Servicer shall forward any Appraisal Reduction Amount calculations and net present value calculations used in the Special Servicer’s determination of what course of action to take in connection with the resolution or liquidation of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan to the Trust Advisor (and, during any Collective Consultation Period, the Subordinate Class Representative) after they have been finalized, and the Trust Advisor may review such calculations in support of its Trust Advisor Annual Report but shall not opine on, or otherwise call into question (whether in the


 




  





-280-











  






 


annual report or otherwise) such Appraisal Reduction Amount calculations and/or net present value calculations.


 


(e)         During any Collective Consultation Period or Senior Consultation Period, the Special Servicer shall forward any calculations of Appraisal Reduction Amount or net present value to the Trust Advisor and, during any Collective Consultation Period, the Subordinate Class Representative, and (a) the Trust Advisor shall (upon receipt of all information and supporting materials reasonably required to be provided to the Trust Advisor as described in the following sentence) promptly recalculate and verify the accuracy of the mathematical calculations and the corresponding application of the applicable formulas required to be utilized in connection with any Appraisal Reduction Amount or net present value calculations used in the Special Servicer’s determination of what course of action to take in connection with the resolution or liquidation of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan prior to the utilization by the Special Servicer, and (b) insofar as the calculation and/or application of the Special Servicer under review as contemplated by clause (a) requires or depends upon the exercise of discretion by the Special Servicer, the Trust Advisor shall assess the reasonableness of the determination made by the Special Servicer in the exercise of such discretion. The Special Servicer shall deliver the foregoing calculations, together with information and supporting materials (with respect to the Appraisal Reduction Amount, once such information is received from the Master Servicer) (including such additional information reasonably requested by the Trust Advisor to confirm the mathematical accuracy of such calculations, but not including any Privileged Information) to the Trust Advisor and (during any Collective Consultation Period) the Subordinate Class Representative. In the event the Trust Advisor does not agree with (i) the mathematical calculations, (ii) the application of the applicable non-discretionary portions of the formula required to be utilized for such calculation or (iii) the reasonableness of any such determination made by the Special Servicer in the exercise of such discretion, the Trust Advisor and the Special Servicer shall consult in good faith with each other in order to resolve (x) any inaccuracy in the mathematical calculations or the application of the non-discretionary portions of the related formula in arriving at those mathematical calculations or (y) any disagreement over the reasonableness of a determination made by the Special Servicer in the exercise of its discretion. During any Collective Consultation Period, the Special Servicer shall also send to the Subordinate Class Representative copies of the Special Servicer’s calculations and the information and supporting materials, as provided above to the Trust Advisor under this subsection, and engage in consultation with the Subordinate Class Representative in connection with its calculations and determinations. During any Collective Consultation Period, if the Trust Advisor and the Subordinate Class Representative agree on such matters and provide written notice of such agreement to the Special Servicer, the Special Servicer shall perform its calculations in accordance with such agreement. Otherwise, if the Trust Advisor and the Subordinate Class Representative do not reach agreement on such matters following the Trust Advisor’s calculation and verification procedures, the Special Servicer shall proceed according to its determination, and the Trust Advisor shall promptly prepare a report on the matter, which report shall set forth its and the Special Servicer’s calculations (including any material differences in assumptions used therein), and deliver such report to the Certificate Administrator, which shall post the report to the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 8.12(b) and, if applicable, to any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder. No other action is required in connection with such circumstances.

(f)            During any Collective Consultation Period or Senior Consultation Period, the Special Servicer shall promptly deliver each Asset Status Report prepared in connection with the workout, restructuring, resolution, sale or liquidation of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan to the Trust Advisor and, during a Collective Consultation Period, the Subordinate Class Representative. The Trust Advisor shall provide any comments it may have to the Special Servicer in respect of the Asset Status Reports, if any, within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of both such Asset Status Report and any additional information reasonably requested by the Trust Advisor, and propose possible alternative courses of action to the extent it determines such alternatives may be in the best interest of the Certificateholders (including any Certificateholders of the Control-Eligible Classes) and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder (if applicable), as a collective whole. Regardless of whether the Special Servicer receives comments from the Trust Advisor within such ten (10) Business Day period, the Special Servicer may proceed to perform such actions as are in accordance with such Asset Status Report.


 


(g)           During any Collective Consultation Period (in addition to the Subordinate Class Representative) or Senior Consultation Period, the Special Servicer shall consult on a non-binding basis with the Trust Advisor with respect to, and prior to, Material Actions (regardless of whether such Material Actions are covered by an Asset Status Report) and the Trust Advisor shall provide any comments it may have to the Special Servicer in respect of each such Material Action within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of both a written request for consultation with respect to such Material Action and any additional information reasonably requested by the Trust Advisor; provided that the Trust Advisor shall have no such duty with respect to collateral substitutions, assignments, insurance policies, borrower substitutions, lease modifications and amendments and other similar actions that the Special Servicer may perform under this Agreement to the extent such actions do not relate to the workout, restructuring, resolution, sale or liquidation of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property. Regardless of whether the Special Servicer receives comments from the Trust Advisor within such ten (10) Business Day period, the Special Servicer may proceed to perform such Material Actions as in accordance with such request for consultation.


 


(h)           The Special Servicer shall consider such written alternative courses of action and any other feedback provided by the Trust Advisor and, during any Collective Consultation Period, the Subordinate Class Representative. The Special Servicer shall revise the Asset Status Reports as it deems necessary to take into account such input and/or comments, to the extent the Special Servicer determines that the Trust Advisor’s and/or Subordinate Class Representative’s input and/or recommendations are consistent with the Servicing Standard and in the best interest of the Certificateholders, taking into account the interests of all of the Certificateholders (including any Certificateholders of the Control-Eligible Classes) (and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder, as applicable), as a collective whole.


 


(i)            The Special Servicer shall not be required to take or to refrain from taking any action because of an objection or comment by the Trust Advisor or a recommendation of the Trust Advisor that would require or cause the Special Servicer to violate applicable law, the terms of any Mortgage Loan, any Serviced Loan Combination or any other provision of this Agreement, including the Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard and the REMIC Provisions or result in an Adverse REMIC Event for any REMIC Pool or an Adverse Grantor Trust Event for the Grantor Trust Pool. For the avoidance of doubt, the


 




  





-282-











  






 


Special Servicer shall not be required to take or refrain from taking any action because of an objection or comment by the Trust Advisor or a recommendation of the Trust Advisor in any event.


 


(j)            The Trust Advisor, the Trust Advisor’s subcontractors and the Trust Advisor’s Affiliates shall keep, and the Trust Advisor shall cause the Trust Advisor’s subcontractors and the Trust Advisor’s Affiliates to keep, all Privileged Information confidential and shall not disclose such information to any other Person (including any Certificateholders which are not then included in the Control-Eligible Certificates), other than to the extent expressly set forth herein.


 


(k)           As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Trust Advisor shall be entitled to receive monthly the Trust Advisor Ongoing Fee on each Distribution Date with respect to each Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related successor REO Mortgage Loan prior to the Trust Advisor’s termination in accordance with Section 3.28(n) (provided that the Trust Advisor shall be entitled to any Trust Advisor Ongoing Fee earned prior to such termination) As to each such Serviced Mortgage Loan and related successor REO Mortgage Loan, the Trust Advisor Ongoing Fee shall accrue from time to time at the Trust Advisor Ongoing Fee Rate and shall be computed on the basis of the Stated Principal Balance of such Serviced Mortgage Loan or successor REO Mortgage Loan and in the same manner as interest is calculated thereon and for the same period respecting which any related interest payment due or deemed thereon is computed. The Trust Advisor shall be entitled to reimbursement of any Trust Advisor Expenses provided for pursuant to Sections 6.03(a), 6.03(b) and/or 6.05 hereof, such amounts to be reimbursed from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account as provided by Section 3.05(a)(xiv), but in the case of any Trust Advisor Expenses other than Designated Trust Advisor Expenses, reimbursements during any Collection Period shall not exceed the limit set forth for the related Distribution Date in Section 4.05(b) hereof. The Trust Advisor hereby acknowledges and agrees that in no event will any Trust Advisor Expenses be payable from, and the Trust Advisor hereby waives any and all claims to, amounts distributable in respect of, the Control-Eligible Certificates; provided that Designated Trust Advisor Expenses shall be reimbursable without limitation from the Collection Account as described in Section 3.05(a)(xiv). Each successor Trust Advisor shall be required to acknowledge and agree to the terms of the preceding sentence.


 


(l)            As additional compensation for its activities hereunder, the Trust Advisor shall be entitled to receive the Trust Advisor Consulting Fee. The Trust Advisor Consulting Fee shall be payable, subject to the limitations set forth below, in an amount equal to ten thousand dollars ($10,000) in connection with each Material Action for which the Trust Advisor engages in consultation under Section 3.24 and this Section 3.28; provided that (i) no such fee shall be paid except to the extent such fee is actually paid by the applicable Borrower (and in no event shall such fee be paid from the Trust Fund); (ii) the Trust Advisor shall be entitled to waive all or any portion of such fee in its sole discretion; and (iii) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be authorized to waive the related Borrower’s payment of such fee in whole or in part if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, (A) determines that such waiver accords with the Servicing Standard and (B) consults with the Trust Advisor prior to effecting such waiver. In connection with each Material Action for which the Trust Advisor has consultation rights under Section 3.24 or this Section 3.28, the Master Servicer or the Special


 




  





-283-











  






 


Servicer, as applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect the applicable Trust Advisor Consulting Fee from the related Borrower, in each case, only to the extent that such collection is not prohibited by the related Mortgage Loan Documents. In no event shall the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, take any enforcement action in connection with the collection of such Trust Advisor Consulting Fee, except that this statement shall not be construed to prohibit requests for payment of such Trust Advisor Consulting Fee. No Trust Advisor Consulting Fee shall be payable with respect to any Non-Serviced Loan Combination.


 


(m)          The Trust Advisor may be removed upon (i) the written direction of holders of Certificates entitled to not less than 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights (taking into account the allocation of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts in respect of the Mortgage Loans to notionally reduce the Class Principal Balances of the Principal Balance Certificates to which such Appraisal Reduction Amounts are allocable) of all Certificates on an aggregate basis requesting a vote to replace the Trust Advisor with a replacement Trust Advisor selected by such Certificateholders (provided that the proposed replacement Trust Advisor meets the criteria set forth in Section 3.28(o)), (ii) such requesting Holders making payment to the Certificate Administrator of all reasonable fees and expenses to be incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with administering such vote, (iii) such requesting Holders delivering to the Certificate Administrator a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency regarding the appointment of the replacement Trust Advisor (which confirmations will be obtained at the expense of such requesting Holders and will not constitute an Additional Trust Fund Expense) and (iv) such requesting Holders delivering to the Certificate Administrator an analogous “rating agency confirmation” from each Pari Passu Companion Rating Agency regarding the appointment of the replacement Trust Advisor (which confirmations will be obtained at the expense of such requesting Holders and will not constitute an Additional Trust Fund Expense). The Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice to all Certificateholders of such request by posting such notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 8.12(b), and by mail, and conduct the solicitation of votes of all Certificates in such regard. Upon the vote or written direction of Certificateholders entitled to at least 75% of the aggregate Voting Rights (taking into account the allocation of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts in respect of the Mortgage Loans to notionally reduce the Class Principal Balances of the Principal Balance Certificates to which such Appraisal Reduction Amounts are allocable) of all Certificates on an aggregate basis, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Trustee, and the Trustee shall immediately replace the Trust Advisor with the replacement Trust Advisor. If a proposed termination and replacement of the Trust Advisor as described above is not consummated within 180 days following the initial request of the Certificateholders who requested a vote, then the proposed termination and replacement shall have no further force or effect. In addition, during any Subordinate Control Period, the identity of any replacement Trust Advisor proposed pursuant to this Section 3.28(m) shall be subject to the consent of the Subordinate Class Representative (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), provided that such consent will be deemed to have been granted if no objection is made within ten (10) Business Days following the Subordinate Class Representative’s receipt of the request for consent, and, if granted, such consent may not thereafter be revoked or withdrawn.


 


(n)           If (i) the Trust Advisor fails to duly observe or perform in any material respect any of its duties, covenants or obligations under this Agreement, (ii) an Insolvency Event


 




  





-284-

(q)           The Trust Advisor may resign from its obligations and duties hereby imposed on it (a) upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Subordinate Class Representative and the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder, (the latter two only if applicable), and (b) upon the appointment of, and the acceptance of such appointment by, a successor Trust Advisor meeting the eligibility requirements set forth in Section 3.28(o) above and receipt by the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency. During a Subordinate Control Period, the identity of the replacement Trust Advisor will be subject to the reasonable approval of the Subordinate Class Representative; provided that such approval will be deemed to have been granted if no objection is made within ten (10) Business Days following the Subordinate Class Representative’s receipt of the request for such approval, and, if granted, such approval may not thereafter be revoked or withdrawn.

requested with respect thereto promptly following its receipt of such notice. If such written objection has not been received by the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, within such 5-Business Day period, then the Subordinate Class Representative shall be deemed to have approved the taking of such action; provided that, if the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, determines (consistent with the Servicing Standard) that immediate action is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders and, with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination, the related Companion Loan Holders, the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, may take such action without waiting for the Subordinate Class Representative’s response; provided that the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, has confirmation that the Subordinate Class Representative has received notice of such action in writing.

(24)         to make distributions to the Holders of the Class G Certificates, up to an amount equal to, and in reimbursement of, all Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund Expenses, if any, previously allocated to such Class of Certificates pursuant to Section 4.04(a) and not previously reimbursed;


 


(25)         to make distributions first, to the Holders of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5 and Class A-SB Certificates, pro rata as among such Holders of such Classes, and then to the Class A-S, Class B and Class C Regular Interests, in that order, and then the Holders of the Class D, Class E, Class F and Class G Certificates, in that order, for any amounts that may previously have been allocated to those Classes in reduction of their Certificate Principal Balances and for which reimbursement has not previously been made; and


 


(26)         to make distributions to the Holders of the Class R Certificates, up to an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (A) the Available Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date, over (B) the aggregate distributions made in respect of the Classes of Regular Certificates and the Class A-S, Class B and Class C Regular Interests on such Distribution Date pursuant to the prior clauses of this Section 4.01(a).

Any distributions of interest made with respect to the Class X-A, X-B, X-C, X-D and X-E Certificates on any Distribution Date pursuant to clause (1) above shall be deemed to have been allocated among the respective REMIC III Components of each such Class of Certificates, and on a pro rata basis in accordance with the respective amounts of Accrued Component Interest for such REMIC III Components for such Distribution Date.


 


Notwithstanding any contrary provision described above, if (I) as of the commencement of business on such Distribution Date, (i) any Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5 or Class A-SB Certificate remains outstanding and (ii) the aggregate of the Class Principal Balances of the Class A-S, Class B and Class C Regular Interests and the Class D, Class E, Class F and Class G Certificates have previously been reduced to zero as a result of the allocation of Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund Expenses pursuant to Section 4.04(a), or (II) such Distribution Date is the Final Distribution Date, then, in each case, the Certificate Administrator shall, in lieu of the distributions otherwise required under clause (2) above, make distributions of principal to the Holders of the Classes of the Class A Certificates up to an amount (not to exceed the aggregate of the Class Principal Balances of such Classes of Certificates outstanding immediately prior to such Distribution Date) equal to, and pro rata as among such Holders of such Classes in accordance with their Class Principal Balances outstanding immediately prior to such Distribution Date, the entire Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date.


 


Also notwithstanding any contrary provision described above, if the Available Distribution Amount for any Distribution Date includes any recoveries of Trust Advisor Expenses (other than Designated Trust Advisor Expenses) from a source other than the proceeds of the Mortgage Loans, the Certificate Administrator shall, prior to the distributions described above, distribute such recoveries to the Holders of any Principal Balance Certificates that experienced write-offs in connection with Trust Advisor Expenses under Section 4.05. Such distributions shall be made to the Holders of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5 and Class A-SB Certificates (on a pro rata basis) and then to the Class A-S, Class B and Class C Regular Interests, and the Holders of the Class D Certificates, in that order, in each case up to the amount of such write-offs previously experienced by such Class in respect of Trust Advisor Expenses (other than Designated Trust Advisor Expenses) under such Section 4.05. Any amounts in respect of recoveries of Trust Advisor Expenses distributed in respect of the Class A-S, Class B or Class C Regular Interests for any Distribution Date shall be distributed (i) in the case of the Class A-S Regular Interest, between the Class A-S Certificates and Class A-S-PEX Component in accordance with the Class A-S Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date and the Class A-S-PEX Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date, respectively, (ii) in the case of the Class B Regular Interest, between the Class B Certificates and Class B-PEX Component in accordance with the Class B Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date and the Class B-PEX Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date, respectively, and (iii) in the case of the Class C Regular Interest, between the Class C Certificates and Class C-PEX Component in accordance with the Class C Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date and the Class C-PEX Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date, respectively.


 


While the Class Principal Balance of any Class of Certificates or Regular Interests has been reduced to zero, such Class will not be entitled to any further distributions in respect of

interest or principal other than reimbursements of Realized Losses, Additional Trust Fund Expenses and other amounts provided for in this Section 4.01.


 


(b)            [Reserved.]


 


(c)           Funds on deposit in the Distribution Account on each Distribution Date that represent Prepayment Premiums or Yield Maintenance Charges Received by the Trust with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan during the related Collection Period, in each case net of any Liquidation Fees payable therefrom, shall be distributable as follows: if any Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium is collected during any particular Collection Period with respect to any Mortgage Loan, then on the Distribution Date corresponding to that Collection Period, the Certificate Administrator shall pay a portion of that Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium (net of Liquidation Fees payable therefrom) in the following manner: (1) pro rata, between (x) the group (“YM Group A”) of Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB and Class X-A Certificates and the Class A-S Regular Interest, and (y) the group (“YM Group B” and, collectively with the YM Group A, the “YM Groups”) of Class D and Class X-B Certificates and the Class B and Class C Regular Interests, based upon the aggregate of principal distributed to the Classes of Principal Balance Certificates (other than the Class A-S, Class B, Class C and Class PEX Certificates) and the Class A-S, Class B and Class C Regular Interests in each YM Group for that Distribution Date, and (2) among the Classes of Certificates and the Class A-S, Class B and Class C Regular Interests in each YM Group, in the following manner, up to an amount equal to the product of (a) the Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium allocated to such YM Group, (b) the related Base Interest Fraction, and (c) a fraction, which in no event may be greater than 1.0, the numerator of which is equal to the amount of principal distributed to the holder(s) of that such Class or the Class A-S, Class B or Class C Regular Interest, as applicable, for that Distribution Date, and the denominator of which is the total amount of principal distributed to all the Certificates and the Class A-S, Class B and Class C Regular Interests in that YM Group for that Distribution Date. Any Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium allocated to such YM Group remaining after such distributions will be distributed to the Class of Class X-A or Class X-B Certificates, as applicable, in such YM Group. No Prepayment Premiums or Yield Maintenance Charges will be distributed to the Holders of the Class X-C, Class X-D, Class X-E, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class R or Class V Certificates. The Holders of the Class X-B Certificates will be entitled to all Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges collected after the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB and Class D Certificates and the Class A-S, Class B and Class C Regular Interests are retired. Any funds distributed on any such Class of Certificates or the Class A-S, Class B or Class C Regular Interests in respect of any Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge pursuant to this Section 4.01(c) shall constitute an “Additional Yield Amount” for such Class.


 


Any distributions of Yield Maintenance Charges and Prepayment Premiums in respect of the Class A-S, Class B or Class C Regular Interests on any Distribution Date shall be distributed (i) in the case of the Class A-S Regular Interest, between the Class A-S Certificates and Class A-S-PEX Component in accordance with the Class A-S Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date and the Class A-S-PEX Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date, respectively, (ii) in the case of the Class B Regular Interest, between the Class B Certificates and Class B-PEX Component in accordance with the Class B Percentage Interest for such

Distribution Date and the Class B-PEX Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date, respectively, and (iii) in the case of the Class C Regular Interest, between the Class C Certificates and Class C-PEX Component in accordance with the Class C Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date and the Class C-PEX Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date, respectively.


 


For purposes of the immediately preceding paragraph, the relevant “Base Interest Fraction” in connection with any Principal Prepayment of any Mortgage Loan that provides for the payment of a Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium, and with respect to any Class of Principal Balance Certificates (other than the Class A-S, Class B, Class C and Class PEX Certificates) and the Class A-S, Class B and Class C Regular Interests, shall be a fraction (A) the numerator of which is the greater of (x) zero and (y) the difference between (i) the Pass-Through Rate on such Class or the Class A-S, Class B or Class C Regular Interests, as applicable, for the related Distribution Date, and (ii) the applicable Discount Rate and (B) the denominator of which is the difference between (i) the Mortgage Rate on such Mortgage Loan and (ii) the applicable Discount Rate; provided that: (a) under no circumstances will the Base Interest Fraction be greater than 1.0; (b) if the applicable Discount Rate is greater than or equal to the Mortgage Rate on such Mortgage Loan and is greater than or equal to the Pass-Through Rate on such Class or the Class A-S, Class B or Class C Regular Interests, as applicable, for the related Distribution Date, then the Base Interest Fraction will equal zero; and (c) if the applicable Discount Rate is greater than or equal to the Mortgage Rate on such Mortgage Loan and is less than the Pass-Through Rate on such Class or the Class A-S, Class B or Class C Regular Interests, as applicable, for the related Distribution Date, then the Base Interest Fraction shall be equal to 1.0. If a Mortgage Loan provides for a step-up in the Mortgage Rate, then the Mortgage Rate used in the determination of the Base Interest Fraction will be the Mortgage Rate in effect at the time of the prepayment.


 


For purposes of the preceding paragraph, the relevant “Discount Rate” in connection with any Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge collected on any prepaid Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan and distributable on any Distribution Date shall be a rate per annum equal to (i) if a discount rate was used in the calculation of the applicable Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge pursuant to the terms of the relevant Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, as the case may be, such discount rate (as reported by the Master Servicer), converted (if necessary) to a monthly equivalent yield, or (ii) if a discount rate was not used in the calculation of the applicable Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge pursuant to the terms of the relevant Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, as the case may be, the yield calculated by the linear interpolation of the yields (as reported under the heading “U.S. Government Securities/Treasury Constant Maturities” in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) published by the Federal Reserve Board for the week most recently ended before the date of the relevant prepayment (or deemed prepayment) of U.S. Treasury constant maturities with a maturity date, one longer and one shorter, most nearly approximating the related Stated Maturity Date (in the case of a Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan that is not related to an ARD Mortgage Loan) or the related Anticipated Repayment Date (in the case of a Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan that is related to an ARD Mortgage Loan), such interpolated yield converted to a monthly equivalent yield. If Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) is no longer published, the Certificate

Administrator shall select a comparable publication as the source of the applicable yields of U.S. Treasury constant maturities.


 


(d)           On each Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall withdraw from the Distribution Account any amounts then on deposit in the Class V Sub-Account that represent Post-ARD Additional Interest collected or deemed collected in respect of the Mortgage Loans or REO Mortgage Loans related to ARD Mortgage Loans during the related Collection Period and shall distribute such amounts to the Holders of the Class V Certificates.


 


(e)           All distributions made with respect to each Class of Certificates on each Distribution Date shall be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates in such Class based on their respective Percentage Interests. Except as otherwise provided below, all such distributions with respect to each Class of Certificates on each Distribution Date shall be made to the Certificateholders of the respective Class of record at the close of business on the related Record Date and shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of any such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder shall have provided the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent Distribution Dates), or otherwise by check mailed to the address of such Certificateholder as it appears in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate (determined, in the case of a Principal Balance Certificate, without regard to any possible future reimbursement of any Realized Loss or Additional Trust Fund Expense previously allocated to such Certificate pursuant to Section 4.04(a)) will be made in a like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution. Prior to any termination of the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.01, any distribution that is to be made with respect to a Certificate in reimbursement of a Realized Loss or Additional Trust Fund Expense previously allocated thereto, which reimbursement is to occur after the date on which such Certificate is surrendered as contemplated by the preceding sentence, will be made by check mailed to the address of the Certificateholder that surrendered such Certificate as such address last appeared in the Certificate Register or to any other address of which the Certificate Administrator was subsequently notified in writing. If such check is returned to the Certificate Administrator, then the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such reasonable steps to contact the related Holder and deliver such check as it shall deem appropriate. Any funds in respect of a check returned to the Certificate Administrator shall be set aside by the Certificate Administrator and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account of the appropriate Holder. The costs and expenses of locating the appropriate Holder and holding such funds shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any former Holder on any amount held in trust hereunder. If the Certificate Administrator has not, after having taken such reasonable steps, located the related Holder by the second anniversary of the initial sending of a check, the Certificate Administrator shall, subject to applicable law, distribute the unclaimed funds to the Class R Certificateholders.


 


(f)            Each distribution with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate shall be paid to the Depository, as Holder thereof, and the Depository shall be responsible for crediting the amount of such distribution to the accounts of its Depository Participants in accordance with its 


 




  





-299-











  






 


normal procedures. Each Depository Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such distribution to the related Certificate Owners that it represents and to each indirect participating brokerage firm for which it acts as agent. Each indirect participating brokerage firm shall be responsible for disbursing funds to the related Certificate Owners that it represents. None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Trust Advisor, the Depositor, the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer shall have any responsibility therefor except as otherwise provided by this Agreement or applicable law. The Certificate Administrator and the Depositor shall perform their respective obligations under the letters of representation between the Issuer and the initial Depository dated as of the Closing Date and pertaining to the Book-Entry Certificates, a copy of which Letters of Representations are attached hereto as Exhibit B.


 


(g)           The rights of the Certificateholders to receive distributions from the proceeds of the Trust Fund with respect to the Certificates, and all rights and interests of the Certificateholders in and to such distributions, shall be as set forth in this Agreement. Neither the Holders of any Class of Certificates nor any party hereto shall in any way be responsible or liable to the Holders of any other Class of Certificates with respect to amounts properly previously distributed on the Certificates.


 


(h)           Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01, whenever the Certificate Administrator receives written notification of or expects that the final distribution with respect to any Class of Certificates (determined, in the case of a Class of Principal Balance Certificates or the Class A-S, Class B or Class C Regular Interests, without regard to any possible future reimbursement of any Realized Loss or Additional Trust Fund Expense previously allocated to such Class of Certificates pursuant to Section 4.04(a)) will be made on the next Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall, no later than the second Business Day prior to such Distribution Date, mail to each Holder of record of such Class of Certificates on such date (with a copy to be posted to the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 8.12(b)) a notice to the effect that:


 


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


 


(ii)           no interest shall accrue on such Certificates from and after the end of the Interest Accrual Period for such Distribution Date.


 


Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to this Section 4.01(h) shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six (6) months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been 


 




  





-300-











  






 


surrendered for cancellation, then the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such non-tendering Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice thereto shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any former Holder on any amount held in trust pursuant to this paragraph. If all of the Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to this Section 4.01(h) shall not have been surrendered for cancellation by the second anniversary of the delivery of the second notice, the Certificate Administrator shall, subject to applicable law, distribute to the Class R Certificateholders all unclaimed funds and other assets which remain subject thereto.


 


(i)            All distributions made in respect of each Class of Principal Balance Certificates (other than the Class A-S, Class B, Class C and Class PEX Certificates) and the Class A-S, Class B and Class C Regular Interests on each Distribution Date (including the Final Distribution Date) pursuant to Section 4.01(a) or Section 4.01(c) above shall be deemed to have first been distributed from REMIC II to REMIC III with respect to the Corresponding REMIC II Regular Interest(s) for such Class of Principal Balance Certificates or the Class A-S, Class B or Class C Regular Interest(s) (as applicable); and all distributions made with respect to each Class of Interest Only Certificates on each Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01(a) or Section 4.01(c) above, and allocable to any particular REMIC III Component of such Class of Interest Only Certificates, shall be deemed to have first been distributed from REMIC II to REMIC III in respect of the Corresponding REMIC II Regular Interest for such REMIC III Component. In each case, if such distribution on any such Class of Certificates was a distribution of accrued interest, of principal, of additional interest (in the form of one or more Additional Yield Amounts) or in reimbursement of any Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund Expenses previously allocated to a Class of Principal Balance Certificates or the Class A-S, Class B or Class C Regular Interests, then the corresponding distribution deemed to be made on a REMIC II Regular Interest pursuant to the preceding sentence (and, if applicable the next paragraph) shall be deemed to also be, respectively, a distribution of accrued interest, of principal, of additional interest (in the form of one or more Additional Yield Amounts) or in reimbursement of any Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund Expenses previously allocated to REMIC III in respect of such REMIC II Regular Interest.


 


The actual distributions made by the Certificate Administrator on each Distribution Date in respect of the Regular Certificates pursuant to Section 4.01(a) or Section 4.01(c) above, as applicable, shall be deemed to have been so made from the amounts deemed distributed with respect to the REMIC II Regular Interests on such Distribution Date pursuant to this Section 4.01(i). Notwithstanding the deemed distributions on the REMIC II Regular Interests described in this Section 4.01(i), actual distributions of funds from the REMIC Sub-Account of the Distribution Account shall be made only in accordance with Section 4.01(a) or Section 4.01(c) above, as applicable.


 


(j)            On each Distribution Date, including the Final Distribution Date, the Available Distribution Amount for such date shall be deemed to have first been distributed from REMIC I to REMIC II in respect of the REMIC I Regular Interests, in each case to the extent of 


 




  





-301-











  






 


the remaining portions of such funds, for the following purposes and in the following order of priority:


 


(i)            as deemed distributions of interest with respect to all the REMIC I Regular Interests, up to an amount equal to, and pro rata in accordance with, all Uncertificated Distributable Interest with respect to each REMIC I Regular Interest for such Distribution Date and, to the extent not previously deemed distributed, for all prior Distribution Dates;


 


(ii)           as deemed distributions of principal with respect to all the REMIC I Regular Interests, up to an amount equal to, and pro rata in accordance with, as to each REMIC I Regular Interest, the portion of the Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date attributable to the related Mortgage Loan(s) or REO Mortgage Loan(s); and


 


(iii)          as deemed distributions with respect to all the REMIC I Regular Interests, up to an amount equal to, pro rata in accordance with, and in reimbursement of, any Realized Losses, Additional Trust Fund Expenses and Trust Advisor Expenses previously allocated to each REMIC I Regular Interest (with compounded interest).


 


The portion of each Prepayment Premium and Yield Maintenance Charge that is distributed to any Class of Regular Certificates or the Class A-S, Class B, or Class C Regular Interests on any Distribution Date shall, in each case, be deemed to have been distributed from REMIC I to REMIC II in respect of the REMIC I Regular Interest(s) corresponding to the prepaid Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, as the case may be, in respect of which such Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge was received or deemed received.


 


The actual distributions made by the Certificate Administrator on each Distribution Date in respect of the Regular Certificates pursuant to Section 4.01(a) or Section 4.01(c) above, as applicable, shall be deemed to have been so made from the amounts deemed distributed with respect to the REMIC I Regular Interests on such Distribution Date pursuant to this Section 4.01(j). Notwithstanding the deemed distributions on the REMIC I Regular Interests described in this Section 4.01(j), actual distributions of funds from the REMIC Sub-Account of the Distribution Account shall be made only in accordance with Section 4.01(a) or Section 4.01(c) above, as applicable.

The Special Servicer shall from time to time (and, in any event, upon request) provide the Master Servicer with such information in its possession regarding the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and Administered 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.


 


With respect to each Mortgage Loan (if any) that is identified on Schedule VIII hereto, the initial values of fields 54—”Preceding Fiscal Year NOI”, 68—”Most Recent NOI”, 72—”Most Recent Financial As of Start Date” and 73—”Most Recent Financial As of End Date”) of the CREFC® Loan Periodic Update File shall be the initial values set forth opposite such Mortgage Loan on such Schedule VIII.

With respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, such CREFC® Operating Statement Analysis Report will include the following statement: “This Mortgage Loan was transferred to the Special Servicer on [DATE]. Any questions relating to the operating results reported on this statement should be directed to the Special Servicer while the loan is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan.”

Representative by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 4.02(c), Section 4.02(d) or Section 4.02(f) is dependent on information from the Special Servicer or a party under a Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Special Servicer or such party under a Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as the case may be) has not timely provided such information to the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer shall on a timely basis provide to the Certificate Administrator, the Subordinate Class Representative as complete a report as the information provided by the Special Servicer or such party under a Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as the case may be) permits and shall promptly update and provide to the Certificate Administrator and the Subordinate Class Representative a complete report when the Special Servicer or such party under a Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as the case may be) provides the Master Servicer with the requisite missing information; and the Master Servicer shall not be in breach hereunder for so providing an incomplete report under Section 4.02(c), Section 4.02(d) or Section 4.02(f) under the foregoing circumstances.

Except to the extent a form of delivery is specified in this Agreement, if the Master Servicer or Special Servicer is required to deliver any statement, report or information under any provision of this Agreement, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may satisfy such obligation by (x) physically delivering a paper copy of such statement, report or information, (y) delivering such statement, report or information in a commonly used electronic format or (z) making such statement, report or information available on the Master Servicer’s internet website or the Certificate Administrator’s Website and notifying the Person(s) entitled to such statement, report or information of such availability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer may each request delivery in paper format of any statement, report or information required to be delivered to the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, (B) any statement, report or information under any provision of this Agreement to be posted to the Certificate Administrator’s Website or the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website shall be delivered to the Certificate Administrator or the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider, as the case may be, in electronic format pursuant to Section 8.12(b) or Section 8.12(c), as applicable, and (C) clause (z) shall not apply to the delivery of any information required to be delivered to the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, unless the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, consents to such delivery.

Section 4.03     P&I Advances. (a) On or before 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on each P&I Advance Date, the Master Servicer shall, subject to Section 4.03(c), either (i) remit from its own funds to the Certificate Administrator for deposit into the Distribution Account an amount equal to the aggregate amount of P&I Advances with respect to Mortgage Loans and successor REO Mortgage Loans serviced by the Master Servicer, if any, to be made by the Master Servicer in respect of the related Distribution Date, (ii) apply amounts held in the Collection Account for future distribution to Certificateholders in subsequent months in discharge of any such obligation to make such P&I Advances, or (iii) make such 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; provided, however, that to the extent that amounts on deposit in the Collection Account were insufficient to pay the CREFC® License Fee on the related Master Servicer Remittance Date, the related Master Servicer shall apply any P&I Advances required to be made by it on such P&I Advance Date pursuant to this Section 4.03 to pay the balance of such CREFC® License Fee.

-311-











  






 


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 prior to the next succeeding Master Servicer Remittance Date (to the extent not previously replaced through the deposit of Late Collections of the delinquent principal and interest in respect of which such P&I Advances were made). If, as of 3:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any P&I Advance Date, the Master Servicer shall not have made any P&I Advance required to be made by it on such date pursuant to this Section 4.03(a) (and shall not have delivered to the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee the Officer’s Certificate and other documentation related to a determination of nonrecoverability of a P&I Advance pursuant to Section 4.03(c) below) or shall not have remitted any portion of the Master Servicer Remittance Amount required to be remitted by the Master Servicer on such date, then the Certificate Administrator shall provide notice of such failure to the Master Servicer by facsimile transmission (with respect to the Master Servicer, at facsimile number (704) 715-0034 and by telephone at (800) 326-1334 as soon as possible, but in any event before 4:30 p.m. (New York City time) on such P&I Advance Date. If after such notice the Certificate Administrator does not receive the full amount of such P&I Advances by 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the related Distribution Date, then the Certificate Administrator shall promptly notify the Trustee (but in any event before 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) and the Trustee shall (not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the related Distribution Date) make the portion of such P&I Advances that was required to be, but was not, made or remitted, as the case may be, by the Master Servicer with respect to the related Distribution Date.


 


With respect to any Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Loan Combination, the Master Servicer or Trustee, as applicable, shall provide the Other Master Servicer and the Other Trustee under the Other Securitization with written notice of any P&I Advance relating to such Mortgage Loan within two (2) Business Days of making such P&I Advance.


 


(b)           The aggregate amount of P&I Advances to be made by the Master Servicer (or by the Trustee, if the Master Servicer fails to do so) in respect of any Distribution Date, subject to Section 4.03(c) below, shall equal the aggregate of all Monthly Payments (other than Balloon Payments) and any Assumed Monthly Payments, in each case net of any related Master Servicing Fees (and, in the case of a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan that is a successor thereto, the Non-Trust Primary Servicing Fee and Non-Trust Trust Advisor fee payable under the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement), due or deemed due and, in the case of an ARD Mortgage Loan (or related REO Mortgage Loan) after its Anticipated Repayment Date, net of any Post-ARD Additional Interest, as the case may be, in respect of the Mortgage Loans for which it is acting as Master Servicer and any successor REO Mortgage Loans with respect thereto on their respective Due Dates occurring in the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, in each case to the extent such amount was not Received by the Trust as of the close of business on the related Determination Date; provided that, if an Appraisal Reduction Amount exists with respect to any Required Appraisal Loan, then the interest portion of any P&I Advance required to be made in respect of such Required Appraisal Loan for the related Distribution Date shall be reduced (it being herein acknowledged that there shall be no reduction in the principal portion of such P&I Advance) to equal the product of (i) the amount of the interest portion of such P&I Advance that would otherwise be required to be made in respect of such Required Appraisal Loan for such Distribution Date without regard to this proviso, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which shall 


 




  





-312-











  






 


equal the Stated Principal Balance of such Required Appraisal Loan immediately prior to such Distribution Date, net of the related Appraisal Reduction Amount, and the denominator of which shall equal the Stated Principal Balance of such Required Appraisal Loan immediately prior to such Distribution Date.


 


(c)           Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no P&I Advance shall be required to be made hereunder if such P&I Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance. The determination by the Master Servicer (or, if applicable, the Trustee) that a prior P&I Advance (or Unliquidated Advance in respect thereof) that it has made constitutes a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, shall be made by such Person in its reasonable, good faith judgment. In making such recoverability determination, such Person will be entitled to consider (among other things) the obligations of the Borrower under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan as it may have been modified, to consider (among other things) the related Mortgaged Properties in their “as-is” or then-current conditions and occupancies, as modified by such party’s assumptions regarding the possibility and effects of future adverse change with respect to such Mortgaged Properties, to estimate and consider (among other things) future expenses and to estimate and consider (among other things) the timing of recoveries. In addition, any such Person may update or change its recoverability determinations at any time and may obtain from the Special Servicer any analysis, Appraisals or market value estimates or other information in the possession of the Special Servicer for such purposes. Any determination by the Master Servicer (or, if applicable, the Trustee) that it 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 an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Depositor, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Subordinate Class Representative and, if made by the Master Servicer, the Trustee (on or before the related P&I Advance Date in the case of a proposed P&I Advance) and, if such Nonrecoverable P&I Advance is with respect to a Mortgage Loan in any Serviced Loan Combination, the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) or, following the securitization of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, the Other Master Servicer (if applicable), setting forth the basis for such determination, accompanied by a copy of an Appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property performed within the nine (9) months preceding such determination by a Qualified Appraiser, and further accompanied by any other information, including engineers’ reports, environmental surveys or similar reports, that the Person making such determination may have obtained. A copy of any such Officer’s Certificate (and accompanying information) of the Trustee shall also be promptly delivered to the Certificate Administrator, the Subordinate Class Representative, the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder, the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer for the subject Mortgage Loan and, with respect to any Serviced Loan Combination, the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) and the Other Master Servicer (if applicable). Absent bad faith, the Master Servicer’s determination as to the recoverability of any P&I Advance shall be conclusive and binding on the Certificateholders and, in all cases, the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any nonrecoverability determination made by the Master Servicer with respect to a particular P&I Advance. The Special Servicer shall promptly furnish any party required to make P&I Advances hereunder or, in the case of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, comparable advances under the terms of the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, with any information in its possession regarding the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Properties as such party required to make P&I Advances may reasonably request. The Master Servicer shall consider Unliquidated 


 




  





-313-











  






 


Advances in respect of prior P&I Advances as outstanding Advances for purposes of recoverability determinations as if such Unliquidated Advance were a P&I Advance.


 


The Special Servicer for each Mortgage Loan shall also be entitled to make a determination (at its option and in its sole discretion, subject to the Servicing Standard) to the effect that a prior P&I Advance (or Unliquidated Advance in respect thereof) previously made hereunder by the Master Servicer (or, if applicable, the Trustee) constitutes a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance by the Master Servicer (or, if applicable, the Trustee), if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, in which case, after written notice of such determination by the Special Servicer to the Master Servicer and the Trustee, such P&I Advance shall constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance for all purposes of this Agreement and the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall conclusively rely on such determination by the Special Servicer that a P&I Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance; provided that in no event shall a determination by the Special Servicer that a previously made or proposed P&I Advance would be recoverable be binding on the Master Servicer or the Trustee. A copy of any Officer’s Certificate (and accompanying information) of the Special Servicer in support of its determination shall be promptly delivered to the Master Servicer for the subject Mortgage Loan. The Special Servicer may update or change its recoverability determination at any time.


 


(d)           In the case of each Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall each be entitled to receive interest at the Reimbursement Rate in effect from time to time, accrued on the amount of each P&I Advance made thereby (with its own funds), to the extent that such P&I Advance (i) relates to a Monthly Payment or Assumed Monthly Payment in respect of a Mortgage Loan that is a Past Grace Period Loan or an REO Mortgage Loan when made, in which case such interest shall begin to accrue from the related P&I Advance Date, or (ii) is made with respect to a Within Grace Period Loan and remains outstanding when the subject Mortgage Loan becomes a Past Grace Period Loan in respect of the subject Monthly Payment or Assumed Monthly Payment, in which case such interest shall begin to accrue when the subject Mortgage Loan becomes a Past Grace Period Loan in respect of the subject Monthly Payment or Assumed Monthly Payment, in either case, for so long as such P&I Advance is outstanding (or, in the case of Advance Interest payable to the Master Servicer, if earlier, until the Late Collection of the delinquent principal and/or interest in respect of which such P&I Advance was made has been Received by the Trust). Such interest with respect to any P&I Advance shall be payable: (i) first, in accordance with Section 3.05 and 3.25, out of any Default Charges subsequently collected on the particular Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan as to which such P&I Advance relates; and (ii) then, after such P&I Advance is reimbursed, but only if and to the extent that such Default Charges are insufficient to cover such Advance Interest, out of general collections on the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties on deposit in the Collection Account. The Master Servicer shall (subject to the operation of Section 3.05(a)(II)) reimburse itself or the Trustee, as applicable, for any outstanding P&I Advance made thereby with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan as soon as practicable after funds available for such purpose are deposited in the Collection Account, and in no event shall interest accrue in accordance with this Section 4.03(d) on any P&I Advance as to which the corresponding Late Collection was received by or on behalf of the Trust as of the related P&I Advance Date.


 


(e)           With respect to any Serviced Loan Combination, the Master Servicer will be permitted to make its determination that it 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 4.03(a) independently of any determination made in respect of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, by the related Other Master Servicer. If the Master Servicer determines that a proposed P&I Advance with respect to such Serviced Loan Combination, 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 subsequently determines that a proposed Servicing Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance or an outstanding Servicing Advance is or would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, or if the Master Servicer receives written notice from the Special Servicer for such Serviced Loan Combination that the Special Servicer has made such a determination, pursuant to this Section 4.03(e), the Master Servicer shall promptly provide the related Other Master Servicer written notice of such determination. If the Master Servicer receives written notice from any related Other Master Servicer that such Other Master Servicer has determined, with respect to the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, that any proposed advance of principal and/or interest with respect to such Serviced Pari Passu 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 but each of the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any such nonrecoverability determination.


 


In connection with any Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan, any determination by the Master Servicer that any P&I Advance made or to be made with respect to such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan (or any successor REO Mortgage Loan with respect thereto) is or, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance may be made independently from any determinations (or the absence of any determinations) made by the related Non-Trust Master Servicer regarding nonrecoverability of debt service advances on the related Non-Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan.


 


The Special Servicer for each Serviced Loan Combination or Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan shall also be entitled to make a determination at its option and in its sole discretion, subject to the Servicing Standard, to the effect that a prior P&I Advance (or Unliquidated Advance in respect thereof) previously made hereunder by the Master Servicer (or, if applicable, the Trustee) constitutes a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance by the Master Servicer (or, if applicable, the Trustee), if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, in which case, after written notice of such determination by the Special Servicer to the Master Servicer and the Trustee, such P&I Advance shall constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance for all purposes of this Agreement and the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall conclusively rely on such determination by the Special Servicer that a P&I Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance; provided that in no event shall a determination by the Special Servicer that a previously made or proposed P&I Advance would be recoverable be binding on the Master Servicer or the Trustee. A copy of any Officer’s Certificate (and accompanying information) of the Special Servicer in support of its determination shall be promptly delivered to the Master Servicer for the subject Mortgage Loan. The Special Servicer may update or change its recoverability determination at any time.

(f)            With regard to such P&I Advances, the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall account for that part of the P&I Advances which is attributable to Past Grace Period Loans, and that part of the P&I Advances which is attributable to Within Grace Period Loans.


 


(g)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no P&I Advances shall be made with respect to any Pari Passu Companion Loan or St. Johns Town Center Subordinate Companion Loan (whether or not it constitutes a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan or otherwise) or any successor REO Mortgage Loan related thereto.


 


Section 4.04     Allocation of Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund Expenses. (a) On each Distribution Date, following the distributions to Certificateholders to be made on such date pursuant to Section 4.01, the Certificate Administrator shall determine the amount, if any, by which (i) the then-aggregate of the Class Principal Balances of all the Classes of Principal Balance Certificates (other than the Class A-S, Class B, Class C and Class PEX Certificates) and the Class A-S, Class B and Class C Regular Interests, exceeds (ii) the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Pool that will be outstanding immediately following such Distribution Date. If such excess does exist, then, except to the extent that such excess exists because of the reimbursement of Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts (from the principal portions of P&I Advances and/or payments or other collections of principal on the Mortgage Pool pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(II)(iii) during any prior Collection Period (other than those that were determined to constitute Nonrecoverable Advances in the immediately preceding Collection Period), the Class Principal Balances of the Class G, Class F, Class E and Class D Certificates and the Class C, Class B and Class A-S Regular Interests shall be reduced sequentially, in that order, in each case, until such excess or the related Class Principal Balance is reduced to zero (whichever occurs first). If, after the foregoing reductions, the amount described in clause (i) of the second preceding sentence still exceeds the amount described in clause (ii) of such sentence, then, except to the extent that such excess exists because of the reimbursement of Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts (from the principal portion of P&I Advances and/or payments or other collections of principal on the Mortgage Pool pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(II)(iii)) during any prior Collection Period (other than those that were determined to constitute Nonrecoverable Advances in the immediately preceding Collection Period), the respective Class Principal Balances of all the outstanding Classes of the Class A Certificates shall be reduced on a pro rata basis in accordance with the relative sizes of such Class Principal Balances, until any such remaining excess is reduced to zero. All reductions in the Class Principal Balances of the respective Classes of the Principal Balance Certificates and the Class A-S, Class B and Class C Regular Interests under this Section 4.04(a) shall constitute allocations of Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund Expenses. Any reduction in the Class Principal Balance of the Class C, Class B or Class A-S Regular Interest for any Distribution Date pursuant to this Section 4.04(a) shall be allocated (i) in the case of the Class C Regular Interests, between the Class C Certificates and Class C-PEX Component in accordance with the Class C Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date and the Class C-PEX Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date, respectively, (ii) in the case of the Class B Regular Interest, between the Class B Certificates and Class B-PEX Component in accordance with the Class B Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date and the Class B-PEX Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date, respectively, and (iii) in the case of the Class A-S Regular Interest, between the Class A-S Certificates and Class A-S-PEX Component in accordance with the Class A-S Percentage

Interest for such Distribution Date and the Class A-S-PEX Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date, respectively.


 


(b)           On each Distribution Date, following the deemed distributions to be made in respect of the REMIC II Regular Interests on such date pursuant to Section 4.01(g), the Certificate Administrator shall determine the amount, if any, by which (i) the then aggregate Uncertificated Principal Balance of the REMIC II Regular Interests, exceeds (ii) the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Pool that will be outstanding immediately following such Distribution Date. If such excess does exist, then, except to the extent that such excess exists because of the reimbursement of Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts (from the principal portion of P&I Advances and/or payments or other collections of principal on the Mortgage Pool pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(II)(iii)) during the preceding Collection Period, the Uncertificated Principal Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest G, REMIC II Regular Interest F, REMIC II Regular Interest E, REMIC II Regular Interest D, REMIC II Regular Interest C, REMIC II Regular Interest B and REMIC II Regular Interest A-S shall be reduced sequentially, in that order, in each case, until such excess (other than any portion thereof that exists because of the reimbursement of Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts (from the principal portion of P&I Advances and/or payments or other collections of principal on the Mortgage Pool pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(II)(iii)) during the preceding Collection Period) or the related Uncertificated Principal Balance is reduced to zero (whichever occurs first). If, after the foregoing reductions, the amount described in clause (i) of the second preceding sentence still exceeds the amount described in clause (ii) of such sentence, then, except to the extent that such excess exists because of the reimbursement of Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts (from the principal portion of P&I Advances and/or payments or other collections of principal on the Mortgage Pool pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(II)(iii)) during the preceding Collection Period, the Uncertificated Principal Balances of the REMIC II Regular Interest that are the Corresponding REMIC II Regular Interest with respect to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5 and Class A-SB Certificates shall be reduced on a pro rata basis, as among such individual Corresponding REMIC II Regular Interests, in accordance with their Uncertificated Principal Balances, until any such remaining excess is reduced to zero. All reductions in the Uncertificated Principal Balances of the respective REMIC II Regular Interests under this Section 4.04(b) shall be deemed to constitute allocations of Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund Expenses.


 


(c)           On each Distribution Date, if, following the deemed distributions to be made in respect of the REMIC I Regular Interests pursuant to Section 4.01(j), the Uncertificated Principal Balance of any REMIC I Regular Interest, in each case after taking account of such deemed distributions, exceeds the Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan (or, if such REMIC I Regular Interest relates to multiple Replacement Mortgage Loans, the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loans and/or REO Mortgage Loans), as the case may be, that will be outstanding immediately following such Distribution Date, then, except to the extent that such excess exists (taking account of the provisions of the next succeeding sentence) because of the reimbursement of Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts (from the principal portion of P&I Advances and/or payments or other collections of principal on the Mortgage Pool pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(II)(iii)) during the preceding Collection Period, the Uncertificated Principal Balance of such REMIC I Regular Interest shall be reduced to equal such Stated Principal Balance of such related Mortgage Loan 


 




  





-317-











  






 


or REO Mortgage Loan (or, if such REMIC I Regular Interest relates to multiple Replacement Mortgage Loans, the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loans and/or REO Mortgage Loans), as the case may be, that will be outstanding immediately following such Distribution Date. For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, the aggregate amount excluded from the aggregate reductions of the Uncertificated Principal Balances of the REMIC I Regular Interests collectively shall equal the amount excluded from the reductions of the Uncertificated Principal Balances of the REMIC II Regular Interests pursuant to Section 4.04(b) above and such aggregate exclusion amount shall be deemed to be allocated among the REMIC I Regular Interests pro rata according to their Stated Principal Balances that, in the absence of such any and all such exclusions, would have been outstanding immediately after such Distribution Date by operation of the immediately preceding sentence. Any reductions in the Uncertificated Principal Balances of the respective REMIC I Regular Interests under this Section 4.04(c) shall be deemed to constitute allocations of Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund Expenses.


 


Section 4.05     Allocation of Certain Trust Advisor Expenses. (a) On each Distribution Date, immediately prior to the distributions to be made to the Regular Certificates and the Class A-S, Class B and Class C Regular Interests for such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01(a), the Certificate Administrator shall allocate Trust Advisor Expenses (other than Designated Trust Advisor Expenses) to reduce the Unadjusted Distributable Certificate Interest for such Distribution Date for the Class D Certificates, the Class C Regular Interest and the Class B Regular Interest, in that order, in each case, until the Unadjusted Distributable Certificate Interest of the Class D Certificates or the Class C Regular Interest or the Class B Regular Interest for such Distribution Date has been reduced to zero. Trust Advisor Expenses (other than Designated Trust Advisor Expenses) shall not be allocated to reduce interest distributable on the Class A Certificates or the Class A-S Regular Interests, the Interest Only Certificates or the Control-Eligible Certificates or the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan.


 


To the extent that the amount of Trust Advisor Expenses (other than Designated Trust Advisor Expenses) payable with respect to any Distribution Date is greater than the aggregate amount of Unadjusted Distributable Certificate Interest otherwise distributable to the Class B and Class C Regular Interests and the Class D Certificates for such Distribution Date, the resulting Excess Trust Advisor Expenses (other than Designated Trust Advisor Expenses) shall be allocated to reduce the Principal Distribution Amount otherwise allocable to the Principal Balance Certificates that are not Control-Eligible Certificates for such Distribution Date. Such Excess Trust Advisor Expenses (other than Designated Trust Advisor Expenses) shall reduce the Principal Distribution Amount for the Principal Balance Certificates that are not Control-Eligible Certificates for such Distribution Date, and shall be allocated to reduce the Certificate Principal Balances of such Certificates in the following order: to the Class D Certificates, and then to the Class C, Class B and Class A-S Regular Interests in each case, until the remaining Certificate Principal Balance of the Class D Certificates or the Class C, Class B or Class A-S Regular Interest has been reduced to zero. Following the reduction of the Certificate Principal Balances of the Class D Certificates and the Class C, Class B and Class A-S Regular Interests to zero, the Certificate Administrator shall allocate any remaining Excess Trust Advisor Expenses (other than Designated Trust Advisor Expenses) among the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5 and Class A-SB Certificates, pro rata (based upon their respective Certificate Principal Balances), until the remaining Certificate Principal Balances of 


 




  





-318-











  






 


the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5 and Class A-SB Certificates have been reduced to zero. Any Excess Trust Advisor Expenses allocated to the Class C, Class B or Class A-S Regular Interests for any Distribution Date pursuant to this Section 4.05 shall be allocated (i) in the case of the Class C Regular Interest, between the Class C Certificates and Class C-PEX Component in accordance with the Class C Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date and the Class C-PEX Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date, respectively, (ii) in the case of the Class B Regular Interest, between the Class B Certificates and Class B-PEX Component in accordance with the Class B Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date and the Class B-PEX Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date, respectively, and (iii) in the case of the Class A-S Regular Interest, between the Class A-S Certificates and Class A-S-PEX Component in accordance with the Class A-S Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date and the Class A-S-PEX Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date, respectively.


 


Any Trust Advisor Expenses (other than Designated Trust Advisor Expenses) or Excess Trust Advisor Expenses (other than Designated Trust Advisor Expenses) allocated to a Class of Certificates (which are not Control-Eligible Certificates) shall be allocated among the respective Certificates of such Class in proportion to the Percentage Interests evidenced by the respective Certificates. If amounts distributable in respect of the Unadjusted Distributable Certificate Interest to the Class B and Class C Regular Interests and the Class D Certificates and otherwise available as the indicated portion of the Principal Distribution Amount are insufficient to reimburse any related Trust Advisor Expenses (other than Designated Trust Advisor Expenses) on a Distribution Date, any unreimbursed Trust Advisor Expenses (other than Designated Trust Advisor Expenses) shall remain unreimbursed until the next Distribution Date that such applicable amounts are available. In no event shall any Trust Advisor Expenses other than Designated Trust Advisor Expenses reduce or delay any principal or interest payable in respect of the Control-Eligible Certificates.


 


(b)          On any Distribution Date, the amount reimbursable to the Trust Advisor in respect of Trust Advisor Expenses (other than Designated Trust Advisor Expenses) for such Distribution Date shall not exceed the sum of (i) the portion of the Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date otherwise distributable to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB and Class D Certificates and the Class A-S, Class B and Class C Regular Interests and (ii) the aggregate amount of Unadjusted Distributable Certificate Interest (for such purposes, calculated without regard to any reductions pursuant to clause (iv) of the definition of Unadjusted Distributable Certificate Interest as a result of Trust Advisor Expenses (other than Designated Trust Advisor Expenses) for such Distribution Date) that would otherwise be distributable to the Class B and Class C Regular Interests and the Class D Certificates for such Distribution Date. Any amount of Trust Advisor Expenses (other than Designated Trust Advisor Expenses) that are not reimbursed on a Distribution Date shall be payable on the next Distribution Date to the extent funds are sufficient, in accordance with Section 4.05(a), to make such payments.


 


(c)           To the extent that any actual recoveries of previously-incurred Trust Advisor Expenses (other than Designated Trust Advisor Expenses) are received from a source other than the proceeds of the related Mortgage Loan during the Collection Period related to any Distribution Date, such amounts shall be applied, first, as provided in Section 4.01(a) to

reimburse the Holders of any Regular Certificates and the Class A-S Regular Interest (and, therefore, the Class A-S Certificates and Class A-S-PEX Component), the Class B Regular Interest (and, therefore, the Class B Certificates and Class B-PEX Component) and the Class C Regular Interest (and, therefore, the Class C Certificates and Class C–PEX Component) that suffered write-offs in connection with Trust Advisor Expenses, and any portion of such recovery remaining after such application shall be considered in the calculation of the Interest Distribution Amounts of the Class B Regular Interest, the Class C Regular Interest and the Class D Certificates, as and to the extent set forth in the definition of Interest Distribution Amount, for such Distribution Date (with the actual payment of such portion to be made to the Class B Regular Interest, Class C Regular Interest and the Holders of the Class D Certificates to the extent required under the combined operation of the definition of Interest Distribution Amount and the provisions of Section 4.01(a) other than the final paragraph of Section 4.01(a)).


 


Section 4.06     Calculations. Provided that the Certificate Administrator receives the necessary information from the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for performing all calculations necessary in connection with the actual and deemed distributions to be made pursuant to Section 4.01, the preparation of the Distribution Date Statements pursuant to Section 4.02(a) and the actual and deemed allocations of Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund Expenses to be made pursuant to Section 4.04 and the actual and deemed allocations of Trust Advisor Expenses to be made pursuant to Section 4.05. The Certificate Administrator shall calculate the Available Distribution Amount for each Distribution Date and shall allocate such amount among Certificateholders in accordance with this Agreement. Absent actual knowledge of an error therein, the Certificate Administrator shall have no obligation to recompute, recalculate or otherwise verify any information provided to it by the Master Servicer. The calculations by the Certificate Administrator contemplated by this Section 4.06 shall, in the absence of manifest error, be presumptively deemed to be correct for all purposes hereunder.

Registrar to afford) the requesting Holders access during normal business hours to the most recent list of Certificateholders held by the Certificate Registrar.


 


(b)           No Transfer of any Non-Registered Certificate or interest therein shall be made unless that Transfer is exempt from the registration and/or qualification requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable securities or blue sky laws of any state or other jurisdiction within the United States, its territories and possessions, or is otherwise made in accordance with the Securities Act and such other securities or blue sky laws. If offers and sales of any Certificate are made in any jurisdiction outside of the United States, its territories and possessions, the Person making such offers and sales must comply with all applicable laws of such jurisdiction.


 


If a Transfer of any Definitive Non-Registered Certificate is to be made without registration under the Securities Act (other than in connection with the initial issuance of the Non-Registered Certificates or a Transfer of such Certificate by the Depositor, any Underwriter or any of their respective Affiliates or, in the case of a Global Certificate for any Class of Book-Entry Non-Registered Certificates, a Transfer thereof to a successor Depository or to the applicable Certificate Owner(s) in accordance with Section 5.03), then the Certificate Registrar shall refuse to register such Transfer unless it receives (and, upon receipt, may conclusively rely upon) either: (i) a certificate from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such Transfer substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-1A and a certificate from such Certificateholder’s prospective Transferee substantially in the form attached hereto either as Exhibit C-1B or as Exhibit C-2B (except that, in the case of any proposed transfer of a Class R Certificate, such prospective Transferee may provide a certificate substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-2B only); or (ii) an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Certificate Administrator to the effect that such prospective Transferee is an Institutional Accredited Investor or a Qualified Institutional Buyer (except that, in the case of any proposed transfer of a Class R Certificate, such Opinion of Counsel must be to the effect that such prospective Transferee is a Qualified Institutional Buyer) and such Transfer may be made without registration under the Securities Act (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund or of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Tax Administrator, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Registrar in their respective capacities as such), together with the written certification(s) as to the facts surrounding such Transfer from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such Transfer and/or such Certificateholder’s prospective Transferee on which such Opinion of Counsel is based.


 


If a Transfer of any interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate for any Class of Book-Entry Non-Registered Certificates is to be made without registration under the Securities Act (other than in connection with the initial issuance of the Book-Entry Non-Registered Certificates or a Transfer of any interest therein by the Depositor, any Underwriter or any of their respective Affiliates), then the Certificate Owner desiring to effect such Transfer shall be required to obtain either (i) a certificate from such Certificate Owner’s prospective Transferee substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-2B, or (ii) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the prospective Transferee is a Qualified Institutional Buyer, and that such Transfer may be made without registration under the Securities Act. Except as provided in the following two paragraphs, no interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate for any Class of Book-Entry Non-Registered Certificates shall be transferred to any Person who takes delivery other than in

the form of an interest in such Rule 144A Global Certificate. If any Transferee of an interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate for any Class of Book-Entry Non-Registered Certificates does not, in connection with the subject Transfer, deliver to the Transferor the Opinion of Counsel or the certification described in the preceding sentence, then such Transferee shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that all the certifications set forth in Exhibit C-2B hereto are, with respect to the subject Transfer, true and correct.


 


Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, any interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate for a Class of Book-Entry Non-Registered Certificates may be transferred (without delivery of any certificate or Opinion of Counsel described in clauses (i) and (ii) of the first sentence of the preceding paragraph) by the Depositor, any Affiliate of the Depositor or any Person designated in writing by the Depositor to any Person who takes delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Certificate for such Class of Certificates upon delivery to the Certificate Registrar of (x) a certificate to the effect that the Certificate Owner desiring to effect such Transfer is the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor and (y) such written orders and instructions as are required under the applicable procedures of the Depository, Clearstream and Euroclear to direct the Certificate Administrator to debit the account of a Depository Participant by a denomination of interests in such Rule 144A Global Certificate, and credit the account of a Depository Participant by a denomination of interests in such Regulation S Global Certificate, that is equal to the denomination of beneficial interests in the Book-Entry Non-Registered Certificates to be transferred. Upon delivery to the Certificate Registrar of such certification and such orders and instructions, the Certificate Administrator, subject to and in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depository, shall reduce the denomination of the Rule 144A Global Certificate in respect of the applicable Class of Book-Entry Non-Registered Certificates and increase the denomination of the Regulation S Global Certificate for such Class, by the denomination of the beneficial interest in such Class specified in such orders and instructions.


 


Also notwithstanding the foregoing, any interest in a Rule 144A Global Certificate with respect to any Class of Book-Entry Non-Registered Certificates may be transferred by any Certificate Owner holding such interest to any Institutional Accredited Investor (other than a Qualified Institutional Buyer) that takes delivery in the form of a Definitive Certificate of the same Class as such Rule 144A Global Certificate upon delivery to the Certificate Registrar and the Certificate Administrator of (i) such certifications and/or opinions as are contemplated by the second paragraph of this Section 5.02(b) and (ii) such written orders and instructions as are required under the applicable procedures of the Depository to direct the Certificate Administrator to debit the account of a Depository Participant by the denomination of the transferred interests in such Rule 144A Global Certificate. Upon delivery to the Certificate Registrar of the certifications and/or opinions contemplated by the second paragraph of this Section 5.02(b), the Certificate Administrator, subject to and in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depository, shall reduce the denomination of the subject Rule 144A Global Certificate by the denomination of the transferred interests in such Rule 144A Global Certificate, and shall cause a Definitive Certificate of the same Class as such Rule 144A Global Certificate, and in a denomination equal to the reduction in the denomination of such Rule 144A Global Certificate, to be executed, authenticated and delivered in accordance with this Agreement to the applicable Transferee. Correspondingly, any interest in a Non-Registered Certificate (other than a Class V or Class R Certificate) held as a Definitive Certificate may be 


 




  





-323-











  






 


transferred by any Certificateholder holding such interest to any Qualified Institutional Buyer that takes delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Certificate upon delivery to the Certificate Registrar and the Certificate Administrator of (i) a certificate from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such Transfer substantially in the form of attached hereto as Exhibit C-2A and a certificate from such Certificateholder’s prospective Transferee substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-2B and (ii) such written orders and instructions as are required under the applicable procedures of the Depository to direct the Certificate Administrator to credit the account of a Depository Participant by the denomination of the transferred interests in such Rule 144A Global Certificate. Upon surrender of the Definitive Certificate, the Certificate Administrator, subject to and in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depository, shall increase the denomination of the subject Rule 144A Global Certificate by the denomination of the surrendered Definitive Certificate.


 


Except as provided in the next paragraph, no beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Certificate for any Class of Book-Entry Non-Registered Certificates shall be transferred to any Person who takes delivery other than in the form of a beneficial interest in such Regulation S Global Certificate. On and prior to the Release Date, each Certificate Owner desiring to effect any Transfer of an interest in the Regulation S Global Certificate for any Class of Book-Entry Non-Registered Certificates to another Person who takes delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in such Regulation S Global Certificate shall be required to deliver to the Certificate Administrator (i) except in connection with the initial issuance of the Non-Registered Certificates, a written certification of such Certificate Owner substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit C-3A hereto and (ii) a written certification from such Certificate Owner’s prospective Transferee substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit C-3B hereto certifying that such Transferee is an institution that is not a United States Securities Person.

The Regulation S Global Certificate for each Class of Book-Entry Non-Registered Certificates shall be deposited with the Certificate Administrator as custodian for the Depository and registered in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee of the Depository.


 


Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, after the Release Date, any interest in the Regulation S Global Certificate for a Class of Book-Entry Non-Registered Certificates may be transferred by a Certificate Owner to any Person who takes delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate for such Class of Certificates upon delivery to the Certificate Registrar and the Certificate Administrator of (x) a certificate from the Certificate Owner desiring to effect such Transfer substantially in the form of attached hereto as Exhibit C-2A and a certificate from such Certificate Owner’s prospective Transferee substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-2B and (y) such written orders and instructions as are required under the applicable procedures of the Depository, Clearstream and Euroclear to direct the Certificate Administrator to debit the account of a Depository Participant by a denomination of interests in such Regulation S Global Certificate, and credit the account of a Depository Participant by a denomination of interests in such Rule 144A Global Certificate, that is equal to the denomination of beneficial interests in such Class of Book-Entry Non-Registered Certificates to be transferred.

shall reduce the denomination of the Regulation S Global Certificate in respect of such Class of Book-Entry Non-Registered Certificates, and increase the denomination of the Rule 144A Global Certificate for such Class, by the denomination of the beneficial interest in such Class specified in such orders and instructions.


 


None of the Depositor, the Underwriters, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trust Advisor, the Tax Administrator or the Certificate Registrar is obligated to register or qualify any Class of Non-Registered Certificates under the Securities Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under this Agreement to permit the Transfer of any Non-Registered Certificate or interest therein without registration or qualification. Any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner desiring to effect a Transfer of any Non-Registered Certificate or interest therein shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Depositor, the Underwriters, the Certificate Administrator, the Trust Advisor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Tax Administrator and the Certificate Registrar against any liability that may result if such Transfer is not exempt from the registration and/or qualification requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state or foreign securities laws or is not made in accordance with such federal, state or foreign laws.


 


(c)           No Transfer of a Certificate or any interest therein shall be made (A) to any Plan or (B) to any Person who is directly or indirectly purchasing such Certificate or interest therein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with assets of a Plan, if the purchase and holding of such Certificate or interest therein by the prospective Transferee would result in a violation of Section 406 or 407 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or a similar violation under Similar Law, or would result in the imposition of an excise tax under Section 4975 of the Code. Except in connection with the initial issuance of the Non-Registered Certificates or any Transfer of a Non-Registered Certificate or any interest therein by the Depositor, any Initial Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates or, in the case of a Global Certificate for any Class of Book-Entry Non-Registered Certificates, any Transfer thereof to a successor Depository or to the applicable Certificate Owner(s) in accordance with Section 5.03, the Certificate Registrar shall refuse to register the Transfer of a Definitive Non-Registered Certificate unless it has received from the prospective Transferee, and any Certificate Owner transferring an interest in a Global Certificate for any Class of Book-Entry Non-Registered Certificates shall be required to obtain from its prospective Transferee, either (i) a certification to the effect that such prospective Transferee is not a Plan and is not directly or indirectly purchasing such Certificate or interest therein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with assets of a Plan; or (ii) alternatively, but only in the case of a Certificate that is not a Class R or Class V Certificate, a certification to the effect that the purchase and holding of such Certificate or interest therein by such prospective Transferee is exempt from the prohibited transaction provisions of Sections 406(a) and (b) and 407 of ERISA and the excise taxes imposed on such prohibited transactions by Sections 4975(a) and (b) of the Code, by reason of Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60; or (iii) alternatively, but only in the case of a Non-Registered Certificate that is an Investment Grade Certificate (other than, if applicable, a Class R or Class V Certificate), determined at date of acquisition, that is being acquired by or on behalf of a Plan in reliance on the Exemption, a certification to the effect that such Plan (X) is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1) of Regulation D under the Securities Act, (Y) is not sponsored (within the meaning of Section 3(16)(B) of ERISA) by any member of the Restricted Group, and (Z)

agrees that it will obtain from each of its Transferees a written certification described in clause (i) above, a written certification described in clause (ii) above or a written representation that such Transferee satisfies the requirements of the immediately preceding clauses (iii)(X) and (iii)(Y), together with a written agreement that such Transferee will obtain from each of its Transferees a similar written certification or representation. It is hereby acknowledged that the forms of certification attached hereto as Exhibit D-1 (in the case of Definitive Non-Registered Certificates) and Exhibit D-2 (in the case of ownership interests in Book-Entry Non-Registered Certificates) are acceptable for purposes of the preceding sentence. In lieu of one of the foregoing certifications, a prospective Transferee may deliver to the Certificate Registrar a certification of facts and an Opinion of Counsel which establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee that such Transfer will not result in a violation of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or a similar violation under Similar Law, or result in the imposition of an excise tax under Section 4975 of the Code, and will not subject the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, a Sub-Servicer, the Trust Advisor, the Certificate Registrar or the initial purchasers to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement; in the case of an ownership interest in a Book-Entry Certificate, the prospective Transferee shall also deliver to the Certificate Owner from whom it is acquiring the interest a copy of such certification of facts and Opinion of Counsel, and a certification that these documents have been delivered to the Certificate Registrar. If any Transferee of a Certificate (including a Registered Certificate) or any interest therein does not, in connection with the subject Transfer, deliver to the Certificate Registrar (in the case of a Definitive Certificate) or the Transferor (in the case of ownership interests in a Book-Entry Non-Registered Certificate) any certification and/or Opinion of Counsel contemplated by the second preceding sentence, then such Transferee shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that either: (i) such Transferee is not a Plan and is not directly or indirectly purchasing such Certificate or interest therein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with assets of a Plan; or (ii) the purchase and holding of such Certificate or interest therein by such Transferee are exempt from the prohibited transaction provisions of Sections 406(a) and (b) and 407 of ERISA and the excise taxes imposed on such prohibited transactions by Sections 4975(a) and (b) of the Code by reason of the Exemption (in the case of such a Certificate that is an Investment Grade Certificate) or by reason of Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 (in the case of such a Certificate that is not an Investment Grade Certificate) or, in the case of a Plan subject to Similar Law does not result in a violation of Similar Law.


 


(d)           (i) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and to have irrevocably authorized the Certificate Administrator under clause (ii)(A) below to deliver payments to a Person other than such Person and to have irrevocably authorized the Certificate Administrator under clause (ii)(B) below to negotiate the terms of any mandatory disposition and to execute all instruments of Transfer and to do all other things necessary in connection with any such disposition. The rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions:


 


  (A)          Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the

Tax Administrator and the Certificate Administrator of any change or impending change in its status as a Permitted Transferee.


 


  (B)           In connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall require delivery to it, and shall not register the Transfer of any Class R Certificate until its receipt, of an affidavit and agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E-1 (a “Transfer Affidavit and Agreement”), from the proposed Transferee, representing and warranting, among other things, that such Transferee is a Permitted Transferee, that it is not acquiring its Ownership Interest in the Class R Certificate that is the subject of the proposed Transfer as a nominee, trustee or agent for any Person that is not a Permitted Transferee.


 


  (C)           Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement by a proposed Transferee under clause (B) above, if a Responsible Officer of either the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar has actual knowledge that the proposed Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, no Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate to such proposed Transferee shall be effected.


 


  (D)           Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate shall agree (1) to require a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement from any prospective Transferee to whom such Person attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in such Class R Certificate and (2) not to Transfer its Ownership Interest in such Class R Certificate unless it provides to the Certificate Registrar a certificate substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E-2 stating that, among other things, it has no actual knowledge that such prospective Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee.


 


  (E)           Each Person holding or acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate, by purchasing such Ownership Interest, agrees to give the Tax Administrator and the Certificate Administrator written notice that it is a “pass-through interest holder” within the meaning of temporary Treasury Regulations Section 1.67-3T(a)(2)(i)(A) immediately upon acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate, if it is, or is holding an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate on behalf of, a “pass-through interest holder”.


 


(ii)           (A) If any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of a Class R Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 5.02(d), then the last preceding Holder of such Class R Certificate that was in compliance with the provisions of this Section 5.02(d) shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of such Transfer of such Class R Certificate. None of the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar shall be under any liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a Class R Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 5.02(d) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or for taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement.

 (B)           If any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of a Class R Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section 5.02(d), then, to the extent that retroactive restoration of the rights of the preceding Holder of such Class R Certificate as described in clause (ii)(A) above shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the Certificate Administrator shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cause the Transfer of such Class R Certificate to a Permitted Transferee selected by the Certificate Administrator on such terms as the Certificate Administrator may choose, and the Certificate Administrator shall not be liable to any Person having an Ownership Interest in such Class R Certificate as a result of the Certificate Administrator’s exercise of such discretion. Such purported Transferee shall promptly endorse and deliver such Class R Certificate in accordance with the instructions of the Certificate Administrator. Such Permitted Transferee may be the Certificate Administrator itself or any Affiliate of the Certificate Administrator.


 


(iii)          The Tax Administrator shall make available to the IRS and to those Persons specified by the REMIC Provisions all information furnished to it by the other parties hereto necessary to compute any tax imposed (A) as a result of the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate to any Person who is a Disqualified Organization, including the information described in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.860D-1(b)(5) and 1.860E-2(a)(5) with respect to the “excess inclusions” of such Class R Certificate and (B) as a result of any regulated investment company, real estate investment trust, common trust fund, partnership, trust, estate or organization described in Section 1381 of the Code that holds an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate having as among its record holders at any time any Person which is a Disqualified Organization, and each of the other parties hereto shall furnish to the Tax Administrator all information in its possession necessary for the Tax Administrator to discharge such obligation. The Person holding such Ownership Interest shall be responsible for the reasonable compensation of the Tax Administrator for providing information thereto pursuant to this subsection (d)(iii) and Section 10.01(d)(i).


 


(iv)          The provisions of this Section 5.02(d) set forth prior to this clause (iv) may be modified, added to or eliminated, provided that there shall have been delivered to the Certificate Administrator and the Tax Administrator the following:


 


 (A)          A Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such modification of, addition to or elimination of such provisions; and


 


 (B)          an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate Administrator and the Tax Administrator, obtained at the expense of the party seeking such modification of, addition to or elimination of such provisions (but in no event at the expense of the Trustee, the Tax Administrator or the Trust), to the effect that doing so will not (1) cause any REMIC Pool to cease to qualify as a REMIC or be subject to an entity-level tax caused by the Transfer of any Class R Certificate to a Person which is not a Permitted Transferee or (2) cause a Person other than the prospective Transferee to be subject to a

REMIC-related tax caused by the Transfer of a Class R Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee.


 


(e)           If a Person is acquiring any Non-Registered Certificate or interest therein as a fiduciary or agent for one or more accounts, such Person shall be required to deliver to the Certificate Registrar (or, in the case of an interest in a Book-Entry Non-Registered Certificate, to the Certificate Owner that is transferring such interest) a certification to the effect that, and such other evidence as may be reasonably required by the Certificate Administrator (or such Certificate Owner) to confirm that, it has (i) sole investment discretion with respect to each such account and (ii) full power to make the applicable foregoing acknowledgments, representations, warranties, certifications and agreements with respect to each such account as set forth in subsections (b), (c) and/or (d), as appropriate, of this Section 5.02.

(g)           At the option of any Holder, its Certificates may be exchanged for other Certificates of authorized denominations of the same Class evidencing a like aggregate Percentage Interest in such Class upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at the offices of the Certificate Registrar maintained for such purpose. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Certificate Registrar shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.


 


(h)           Every Certificate presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Certificate Registrar) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.


 


(i)            No service charge shall be imposed for any transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Certificate Administrator or Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.


 


(j)            All Certificates surrendered for transfer and exchange shall be physically canceled by the Certificate Registrar, and the Certificate Registrar shall dispose of such canceled Certificates in accordance with its standard procedures.


 


(k)           In connection with the foregoing Sections 5.02(b), (c) and (d), in no case shall the Depositor be responsible for the costs or expenses of any certificates, opinions or agreements contemplated by such Sections 5.02(b), (c) and (d).

Section 5.03     Book-Entry Certificates. (a) The Certificates (other than the Class R and Class V Certificates) shall initially be issued as one or more Certificates registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and, except as provided in Section 5.02(b) and Section 5.03(c), a Transfer of such Certificates may not be registered by the Certificate Registrar unless such Transfer is to a successor Depository that agrees to hold such Certificates for the respective Certificate Owners with Ownership Interests therein. Such Certificate Owners shall hold and Transfer their respective Ownership Interests in and to such Certificates through the book-entry facilities of the Depository and, except as provided in Section 5.03(c) below, shall not be entitled to definitive, fully registered Certificates (“Definitive Certificates”) in respect of such Ownership Interests. The Classes of Non-Registered Certificates initially sold to Qualified Institutional Buyers in reliance on Rule 144A or in reliance on another exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act shall, in the case of each such Class, be represented by the Rule 144A Global Certificate for such Class, which shall be deposited with the Certificate Administrator as custodian for the Depository and registered in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee of the Depository. The Classes of Non-Registered Certificates initially sold to institutions that are non-United States Securities Persons in Offshore Transactions in reliance on Regulation S shall, in the case of each such Class, be represented by the Regulation S Global Certificate for such Class, which shall be deposited with the Certificate Administrator as custodian for the Depository and registered in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee of the Depository. All Transfers by Certificate Owners of their respective Ownership Interests in the Book-Entry Certificates shall be made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository Participant or brokerage firm representing each such Certificate Owner. Each Depository Participant shall only transfer the Ownership Interests in the Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the Depository’s normal procedures.


 


(b)             The Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar may for all purposes, including the making of payments due on the Book-Entry Certificates, deal with the Depository as the authorized representative of the Certificate Owners with respect to such Certificates for the purposes of exercising the rights of Certificateholders hereunder. Except as expressly provided to the contrary herein, the rights of Certificate Owners with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Certificate Owners and the Depository Participants and brokerage firms representing such Certificate Owners. Multiple requests and directions from, and votes of, the Depository as Holder of the Book-Entry Certificates with respect to any particular matter shall not be deemed inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Certificate Owners. The Certificate Administrator may establish a reasonable record date in connection with solicitations of consents from or voting by Certificateholders and shall give notice to the Depository of such record date.

(c)           If (i)(A) the Depositor advises the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities with respect to a Class of the Book-Entry Certificates, and (B) the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor, or (ii) the Depositor at its option advises the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Certificate Registrar in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Depository with respect to a Class of Book-Entry Certificates, the Certificate Registrar shall notify all affected Certificate Owners, through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Certificates to such Certificate Owners requesting the same.


 


Upon surrender to the Certificate Registrar of the Book-Entry Certificates of any Class thereof by the Depository, accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for registration of transfer, the Certificate Registrar shall execute, and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, the Definitive Certificates in respect of such Class to the Certificate Owners identified in such instructions. None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions, and each of them may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates for purposes of evidencing ownership of any Class of Registered Certificates, the registered holders of such Definitive Certificates shall be recognized as Certificateholders hereunder and, accordingly, shall be entitled directly to receive payments on, to exercise Voting Rights with respect to, and to transfer and exchange such Definitive Certificates.


 


(d)           Notwithstanding any other provisions contained herein, neither the Certificate Administrator nor the Certificate Registrar shall have any responsibility whatsoever to monitor or restrict the Transfer of ownership interests in any Certificate (including but not limited to any Non-Registered Certificate) which interests are transferable through the book-entry facilities of the Depository.


 


Section 5.04     Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, or the Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and (ii) there is delivered to the Certificate Administrator and the Certificate Registrar such security or indemnity as may be reasonably required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of actual notice to the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Certificate Registrar shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of the same Class and like Percentage Interest.

Section 5.05     Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Trust Advisor, the Certificate Registrar and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 4.01 and for all other purposes whatsoever and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust Advisor, the Certificate Registrar or any agent of any of them shall be affected by notice to the contrary.


 


Section 5.06     Certification by Certificate Owners. To the extent that under the terms of this Agreement, it is necessary to determine whether any Person is a Certificate Owner, the Certificate Administrator shall make such determination based on a certificate of such Person which shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit K-1 hereto (or such other form as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Certificate Administrator) and shall, to the extent required by the Certificate Administrator, specify the Class and Certificate Principal Balance or Certificate Notional Amount, as the case may be, of the Book-Entry Certificate beneficially owned; provided that none of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar shall knowingly recognize such Person as a Certificate Owner if such Person, to the actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar, as the case may be, acquired its Ownership Interest in a Book-Entry Certificate in violation of Section 5.02(c), or if such Person’s certification that it is a Certificate Owner is in direct conflict with information actually known by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar, with respect to the identity of a Certificate Owner. The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Certificate Registrar shall each exercise its reasonable discretion in making any determination under this Section 5.06 and shall afford any Person providing information with respect to its beneficial ownership of any Book-Entry Certificate an opportunity to resolve any discrepancies between the information provided and any other information available to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar, as the case may be.


 


Section 5.07     Appointment of Authenticating Agents. (a) The Certificate Administrator may appoint at its expense an Authenticating Agent, which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Certificate Administrator in authenticating Certificates. The Certificate Administrator shall cause any such Authenticating Agent to execute and deliver to the Certificate Administrator an instrument in which such Authenticating Agent shall agree to act in such capacity, with the obligations and responsibilities herein.

Each Authenticating Agent shall be subject to the same obligations, standard of care, protection and indemnities as would be imposed on, or would protect, the Certificate Administrator hereunder. The appointment of an Authenticating Agent shall not relieve the Certificate Administrator from any of its obligations hereunder, and the Certificate Administrator shall remain responsible for all acts and omissions of the Authenticating Agent. In the absence of any other Person appointed in accordance herewith acting as Authenticating Agent, the Certificate Administrator hereby agrees to act in such capacity in accordance with the terms hereof. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Certificate Administrator is no longer the 


 




  





-332-











  






 


Authenticating Agent, any provision or requirement herein requiring notice or any information or documentation to be provided to the Authenticating Agent shall be construed to require that such notice, information or documentation also be provided to the Certificate Administrator.


 


(b)           Any Person into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion, or consolidation to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the corporate agency business of any Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be the Authenticating Agent without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Authenticating Agent.


 


(c)           Any Authenticating Agent appointed in accordance with this Section 5.07 may at any time resign by giving at least thirty (30) days’ advance written notice of resignation to the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor. The Certificate Administrator may at any time terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent appointed in accordance with this Section 5.07 by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor. Upon receiving a notice of such a resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time any Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.07, the Certificate Administrator may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent, in which case the Certificate Administrator shall give written notice of such appointment to the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor and shall mail notice of such appointment to all Holders of Certificates; provided that no successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section 5.07. 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.

In addition, the Depositor shall have the right to make or cause exchanges on the Closing Date pursuant to instructions delivered to the Certificate Administrator on the Closing Date.

(a) None of the Depositor, the Trust Advisor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or any of their respective members, managers, directors, officers, employees or agents shall be under any liability to the Trust, the Trustee or the Certificateholders or any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder for any action taken or not taken in good faith pursuant to this Agreement or for errors in judgment; provided that this provision shall not protect the Depositor, the Trust Advisor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or any of their respective members, managers, directors, officers, employees or agents against any liability to the Trust, the Trustee or the Certificateholders or any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder for the breach of a representation or warranty made by such party herein, or against any expense or liability specifically required to be borne by such party without right of reimbursement pursuant to the terms hereof, or against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of such party’s obligations or duties hereunder, or by reason of reckless disregard of such obligations and duties. The Depositor, the Trust Advisor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and any director, member, manager, officer, employee or agent of any such party may rely in good faith on any document of any kind conforming to the requirements of this Agreement for the truth and accuracy of the contents of that document (and as to certificates and opinions, including Opinions of Counsel, for the truth of the statements made therein and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein) reasonably believed or in good faith believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties, which document, prima facie, is properly executed and submitted by any Person, or any employee or agent of any Person (including legal counsel as to opinions), respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Depositor, the Trust Advisor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer (each in its capacity as such or in its individual capacity) and any member, manager, director, officer, employee or agent of any such party, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust Fund out of the Collection Accounts and the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account, as applicable, as provided in Section 3.05(a), or the Distribution Account, as provided in Section 3.05(b), against any loss, liability, claim, damages, penalty, fine, cost or expense (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred in connection with any actual or threatened legal action or claim relating to this Agreement, the Certificates or the Trust, other than any loss, liability, cost or expense: (i) specifically required to be borne by such party, without right of reimbursement, pursuant to the terms hereof; (ii) incurred in connection with any legal action or claim against such party resulting from any breach of a representation or warranty made by such Person herein, or (iii) incurred in connection with any legal action or claim against such party resulting from any willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of such Person’s obligations and duties hereunder or resulting from negligent disregard of such obligations and duties.

-336-











  






 


this Agreement except to the extent that such omission to notify materially prejudices the interests of the Trust Fund) and, if any indemnification payment is made to such party from general collections on the Mortgage Pool on deposit in the Collection Accounts, the Master Servicer will be required to use efforts in accordance with the Servicing Standard to exercise promptly the rights of the Trust Fund under the related Intercreditor Agreement to obtain reimbursement from the holder of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan for that holder’s allocable share of the amount so paid.


 


None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trust Advisor shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action unless such action is related to its respective duties under this Agreement and, except in the case of a legal action the costs of which such party is specifically required hereunder to bear, in its opinion does not involve it in any ultimate expense or liability for which it would not be reimbursed hereunder; provided that the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trust Advisor may in its discretion undertake any such action which it may reasonably deem necessary or desirable with respect to the enforcement and/or protection of the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders (or, if a Serviced Loan Combination is involved, the rights of the Certificateholders and the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) (as a collective whole). In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action, and any liability resulting therefrom, shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust, and the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trust Advisor, as the case may be, shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Accounts, as provided in Section 3.05(a), or the Distribution Account, as provided in Section 3.05(b) (or, with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination, if such expenses and costs relate specifically to such Serviced Loan Combination, first, pro rata from the Collection Account and the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account (based on the respective outstanding principal balances of the related Mortgage Loan and any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) and, if funds in the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account are insufficient, then any deficiency shall be paid from amounts on deposit in the Collection Accounts). Following reimbursement or payment of such amounts (with no obligation to repay such amounts), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall use efforts in accordance with the Servicing Standard to exercise promptly the rights of the Trust Fund under the related Intercreditor Agreement to obtain reimbursement from the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder (or if the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan is held by an Other Securitization, from such Other Securitization), of such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder’s pro rata share of such amounts reimbursed by the Collection Accounts. In no event will the Trust Advisor have any duty to appear in any legal proceedings in connection with this Agreement.


 


Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, for the purposes of indemnification of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer and limitation of liability, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer will be deemed not to have engaged in willful misfeasance or committed bad faith, fraud or negligence in the performance of its respective obligations or duties or acted in negligent disregard or other disregard of its respective obligations or duties hereunder if the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, fails to follow the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents because the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, in its reasonably exercised judgment determines that following the terms of the Mortgage Loan 


 




  





-337-











  






 


Documents would or potentially would result in an Adverse REMIC Event (for which determination, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to rely on advice of counsel, the cost of which shall be reimbursed as an Additional Trust Fund Expense). Any indemnification payments or reimbursements of costs or expenses described in the preceding paragraph to which the Trust Advisor may become entitled shall constitute Trust Advisor Expenses and the payment of such Trust Advisor Expenses (other than those that constitute Designated Trust Advisor Expenses) shall be subject to the limitations set forth in Section 4.05. The Trust Advisor shall not be entitled to reimbursement of expenses for its services except those for which it is entitled to indemnification as described above.


 


Notwithstanding the foregoing, if and to the extent that any loss, liability, claim, damages, penalty, fine, cost or expense that is, pursuant to this Section 6.03(a), required to be borne by the Trust out of the Distribution Account or Collection Accounts, relates to any Serviced Loan Combination, (i) such loss, liability, claim, damages, penalty, fine, cost or expense shall be payable out of amounts on deposit in respect of such Serviced Loan Combination in the Collection Account and the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account collectively, on a pro rata basis, prior to payment from funds in the Distribution Account or the Collection Accounts that are unrelated to such Serviced Loan Combination; and (ii) such loss, liability, claim, damages, penalty, fine, cost or expense shall be payable out of amounts on deposit in the Collection Account and the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account (withdrawals from those accounts shall be made in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement and pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal balances of the Mortgage Loan and any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan included in the related Serviced Loan Combination). Insofar as any such loss, liability, claim, damages, penalty, fine, cost or expense related to any Serviced Loan Combination is so paid by withdrawal from the Collection Accounts or Distribution Account and funds are subsequently received and allocable to the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s), then the Master Servicer shall deposit the amount of such loss, liability, claim, damages, penalty, fine, cost or expense into the applicable Collection Account from such funds so received and allocable to the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan.


 


(b)           In addition, none of the Depositor, the Trust Advisor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or any director, member, manager, officer, employee or agent of any such party shall have any liability with respect to, and each of the Depositor, the Trust Advisor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and any director, member, manager, officer, employee or agent of any such party shall be entitled to rely, as to the truth of the statements made therein and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, on any documents, certificates or opinions, including Opinions of Counsel, furnished to, and reasonably believed or in good faith believed by such Person to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties, which document, certificate or opinion, prima facie, is properly executed and submitted by any Person, or any employee or agent of any Person (including legal counsel as to opinions), respecting any matters arising hereunder. Each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trust Advisor may rely in good faith on information provided to it by the other parties hereto (unless the provider and the recipient of such information are the same Person or Affiliates) and by the Borrowers and property managers, and will have no duty to investigate or verify the accuracy thereof. Each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trust Advisor may rely, and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon, any resolution, officer’s

certificate, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, financial statement, agreement, appraisal, bond or other document (in electronic or paper format) as contemplated by and in accordance with this Agreement and reasonably believed or in good faith believed by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trust Advisor, or directors, members, officers, employees or agents of any such party as the case may be, to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties and each of them may consult with counsel, in which case any written advice of counsel or Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection with respect to any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or Opinion of Counsel. Furthermore, none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trust Advisor or directors, members, managers, officers, employees or agents of any such party shall have any liability under this Agreement for any failure of any other such Person (or any other party to this Agreement) to perform such Person’s obligations or duties hereunder.


 


Section 6.04     Resignation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer. (a) Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer may resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it, upon a determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law or are in material conflict by reason of applicable law with any other activities carried on by it (the other activities of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, so causing such a conflict being of a type and nature carried on by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, at the date of this Agreement). Any such determination requiring the resignation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect which shall be delivered to the Trustee, with a copy to the Certificate Administrator, the Subordinate Class Representative and the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder (and each affected Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder). Unless applicable law requires the resignation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (as the case may be) to be effective immediately, and the Opinion of Counsel delivered pursuant to the prior sentence so states, no such resignation shall become effective until the Trustee or other successor shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the resigning party in accordance with Section 6.05 or Section 7.02 hereof; provided that, if no successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within ninety (90) days after the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, has given notice of such resignation, the resigning Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor thereto.


 


(b)           In addition, each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall have the right to resign at any other time for any reason, provided that (i) a willing successor thereto (including any such successor proposed by the resigning party) has been found that is, solely in the case of a successor to the Special Servicer if it is a resigning Special Servicer, acceptable to the Subordinate Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period), (ii) solely in the case of the Special Servicer if it is the resigning party, the resigning party has consulted with the Subordinate Class Representative (during any Collective Consultation Period) and the Trust Advisor (during any Collective Consultation Period or Senior Consultation Period) with respect to the identity and quality of its proposed successor, (iii) the succession is the subject of a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency (and, if applicable pursuant to Section 3.27(k), an analogous rating agency confirmation from each Pari Passu Companion

Rating Agency), (iv) the successor accepts appointment in writing prior to the effectiveness of such resignation and (v) the successor is not a Prohibited Party at the time of such succession unless the Depositor consents to the appointment in its reasonable discretion.


 


(c)           None of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be permitted to resign except as contemplated in Sections 6.04(a) and 6.04(b).

If, pursuant to any provision hereof, the duties of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer are transferred to a successor thereto, the entire amount of compensation payable to that Master Servicer or that Special Servicer, as the case may be, that accrues pursuant hereto from and after the date of such transfer shall be payable to such successor, except (in the case of the Special Servicer) to the extent provided in Section 3.11(c).


 


(d)          Any successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer (including any successor Special Servicer appointed pursuant Section 6.05 hereof) shall, in connection with its appointment as successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer, (i) deliver to the Depositor and any Other Depositor, if applicable, the Form 8-K Disclosure Information required pursuant to Item 6.02 of the Form 8-K Current Report regarding itself in its role as successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer, as applicable, and (ii) enter into an indemnification agreement reasonably acceptable to the Depositor and such successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer, as applicable, pursuant to which the successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer, as applicable, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the Other Depositor, 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 (A) the failure of any such Form 8-K Disclosure Information, insofar as such information relates to or is applicable to such successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer (either in its individual capacity or its capacity as successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer under this Agreement), to satisfy the requirements of the applicable provisions of Regulation AB and (B) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such Form 8-K Disclosure Information regarding itself in its role as successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer, as applicable, or any omission or alleged omission to state in such Form 8-K Disclosure Information regarding itself in its role as successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer, as applicable, a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.


 


(e)           The resigning Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of each party to this Agreement, the Trust and each Rating Agency in connection with the resignation of such party and the transfer of its duties

(a) During any Subordinate Control Period, the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder, or the Subordinate Class Representative on its behalf, will have the right to terminate the Special Servicer, with or without cause, and appoint itself or an Affiliate thereof or another Person as the successor Special Servicer. It shall be a condition to such appointment that the successor Special Servicer be a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer and the conditions set forth in subsection (e) be satisfied.


 


(b)           During any Collective Consultation Period or Senior Consultation Period, upon (i) the written direction of Holders of Principal Balance Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights (taking into account the allocation of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts in respect of the Mortgage Loans to notionally reduce the Class Principal Balances of the Principal Balance Certificates to which such Appraisal Reduction Amounts are allocable) of all Certificates on an aggregate basis, requesting a vote to terminate the Special Servicer and appoint a successor Special Servicer, (ii) payment by such Holders to the Certificate Administrator of the reasonable fees and expenses (including any fees and expenses of counsel or any Rating Agency) to be incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with administering such vote (which fees and expenses shall not be paid from the Trust Fund) and (iii) delivery by such Holders to the Certificate Administrator of a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such termination and appointment of a successor (to be obtained at the expenses solely of such Certificateholders) and the equivalent from each NRSRO hired to provide ratings with respect to any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Securities, the Certificate Administrator shall post such request on the Certificate Administrator’s Website and conduct the solicitation of votes of all Certificates in such regard. Upon the written direction of Holders of Principal Balance Certificates evidencing at least 75% of the aggregate Voting Rights (taking into account the allocation of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts in respect of the Mortgage Loans to notionally reduce the Class Principal Balances of the Principal Balance Certificates to which such Appraisal Reduction Amounts are allocable) of all Principal Balance Certificates on an aggregate basis, the Trustee shall terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement and appoint the successor Special Servicer that was proposed by the Certificateholders requesting the vote. Such termination and replacement shall be further conditioned on such successor Special Servicer being a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer and the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 6.05(e) to the extent that such conditions have not otherwise been satisfied. Such termination shall also be subject to the terminated Special Servicer’s rights to indemnification, payment of outstanding fees, reimbursement of Advances, and other rights set forth in this Agreement which survive termination. If a proposed termination and replacement of the Special Servicer by Certificateholders as described above is not consummated within 180 days following the initial request of the Certificateholders who requested a vote, then the proposed termination and replacement shall have no further force or effect (except that the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to apply any amounts prepaid by such Certificateholders for expenses to pay any expenses incurred by the Certificate Administrator).

(c)           In addition, during any Senior Consultation Period, if the Trust Advisor determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that the Special Servicer is not performing its duties under this Agreement in accordance with the Servicing Standard, the Trust Advisor will have the right to recommend the replacement of the Special Servicer. In such event, the Trust Advisor shall deliver to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, with a copy to the then-current Special Servicer, a written recommendation in electronic format and in the form of Exhibit O-3 attached hereto (which form may be modified or supplemented by the Trust Advisor from time to time to cure any ambiguity or error or to incorporate any additional information as it deems appropriate) detailing the reasons supporting its position and recommending a suggested replacement Special Servicer. In addition, the Certificate Administrator shall post such recommendation on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 8.12(b), and by mail transmit such recommendation to, conduct the solicitation of votes of, the Holders of all Certificates, according to such procedures (including the establishment of a record date for voting) as it determines. Such notice and solicitation shall state that the proposed replacement, if approved by the Certificateholders, shall be subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 6.05(e) within 180 days following the initial recommendation of the Trust Advisor and that any approval granted by the requisite Certificateholders in the aggregate may not be revoked or withdrawn at any time. The Trust Advisor’s recommendation to replace the Special Servicer must be confirmed by an affirmative vote of Certificateholders having at least a majority of the aggregate Voting Rights (taking into account the allocation of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts in respect of the Mortgage Loans to notionally reduce the Class Principal Balances of the Principal Balance Certificates to which such Appraisal Reduction Amounts are allocable) of all Principal Balance Certificates on an aggregate basis. In the event the Holders of such Principal Balance Certificates elect to remove and replace the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Trustee, the Trust Advisor and the then-current Special Servicer, and the Certificate Administrator shall promptly request a Rating Agency Confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies (and, subject to Section 3.27(k), an analogous rating agency confirmation from each Pari Passu Companion Rating Agency, if applicable) with respect to the proposed removal and replacement, unless such Certificateholders themselves deliver such Rating Agency Confirmation. In the event the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator receive a Rating Agency Confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies (and, subject to Section 3.27(k), an analogous rating agency confirmation from each Pari Passu Companion Rating Agency, if applicable) (and the successor Special Servicer agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement), the Trustee will then be required to terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement and to appoint the successor Special Servicer that has been approved by the Certificateholders and constitutes a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer, and the Certificate Administrator shall post such notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 8.12(b). Any such termination of an existing Special Servicer will be subject to the terminated Special Servicer’s rights to indemnification, payment of outstanding fees, reimbursement of Advances and other rights set forth in this Agreement which survive termination. The Trustee and the Trust Advisor shall cooperate in using reasonable efforts to cause the satisfaction of the conditions to the consummation of such replacement set forth in Section 6.05(e). The reasonable costs and expenses associated with the Trust Advisor’s identification of a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator’s obtaining such Rating Agency Confirmations administering the vote of the Certificateholders shall be an Additional Trust Fund

Expense. If a proposed termination and replacement of the Special Servicer recommended by the Trust Advisor as described above is not consummated within 180 days following the initial recommendation of the Trust Advisor, then (i) the proposed termination and replacement shall have no further force or effect, (ii) the Certificate Administrator shall post such notice to the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 8.12(b) and (iii) the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Trustee and the then-current Special Servicer. The costs and expenses of administering the notices, solicitation of votes and otherwise incurred by the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Trust Advisor in connection with the proposed removal and replacement (including the costs and expenses associated with obtaining Rating Agency Confirmations and the Opinion of Counsel referred to in Section 6.05(e)) shall constitute expenses of the Trust Fund to be paid by withdrawal from the Distribution Account. None of the Special Servicer, any Certificateholder or any other Person shall have any cause of action against the Trust Advisor or any other Person based upon or arising from the Trust Advisor’s determination under this Section 6.05(c), or the result of the vote of the Certificateholders.


 


(d)           [Reserved.]

Upon reasonable request and as reasonably related to the performance of the obligations of the related Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement, each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall furnish the Depositor and the Trustee with its most recent publicly available annual audited financial statements (or, if not available, the most recent publicly available audited annual financial statements of its corporate parent) and such other information as is publicly available regarding its business, affairs, property and condition, financial or otherwise. Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer may affix to any such information described in this Section 6.06 provided by it any disclaimer it deems appropriate in its reasonable discretion. The Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder and may, but is not obligated to, perform, or cause a designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder or exercise the rights of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder; provided that neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder by virtue of such performance by the Depositor or its designee. The Depositor shall not have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer and is not obligated to supervise the performance of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer under this Agreement or otherwise.


 


Section 6.07     Master Servicer and Special Servicer May Own Certificates. The Master Servicer, Special Servicer or any of their respective Affiliates may become the Holder of (or, in the case of a Book-Entry Certificate, Certificate Owner with respect to) any Certificate with (except as otherwise set forth in the definition of “Certificateholder”) the same rights it would have if it were not the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or an Affiliate thereof. If, at any time during which the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Affiliate of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is the Holder of (or, in the case of a Book-Entry Certificate, Certificate Owner with respect to) any Certificate, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, proposes to take any action (including for this purpose, omitting to take a particular

action) that is not expressly prohibited by the terms hereof and would not, in the reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (as the case may be), violate the Servicing Standard, but that, if taken, might nonetheless, in the reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (as the case may be), be considered by other Persons to violate the Servicing Standard, then the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may (but need not) seek the approval of the Certificateholders to such action by delivering to the Certificate Administrator (with a copy to the Trustee) a written notice that (a) states that it is delivered pursuant to this Section 6.07, (b) identifies the Percentage Interest in each Class of Certificates beneficially owned by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, or by an Affiliate thereof and (c) describes in reasonable detail the action that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, proposes to take. The Certificate Administrator, upon receipt of such notice, shall forward it to the Certificateholders (other than the Master Servicer and its Affiliates or the Special Servicer and its Affiliates, as appropriate), together with a request for approval by the Certificateholders of each such proposed action. If at any time Certificateholders holding greater than 50% of the Voting Rights of all Certificateholders (calculated without regard to the Certificates beneficially owned by the Master Servicer or its Affiliates or the Special Servicer or its Affiliates, as the case may be) shall have consented in writing (with a copy to each related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder, if a Serviced Loan Combination is involved) to the proposal described in the written notice, and if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, 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, for 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, but rather in the case of unusual circumstances.

-348-











  






 


(b)           If any Servicer Termination Event with respect to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (in either case, for purposes of this Section 7.01(b), the “Affected Party”) shall occur and be continuing, then, and in each and every such case, so long as the Servicer Termination Event shall not have been remedied, the Trustee may, and at the written direction of either the Holders of Certificates entitled to not less than 25% of the Voting Rights (determined without notionally reducing the Class Principal Balances of the Certificates by any Appraisal Reduction Amounts), or, alternatively, if a Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Special Servicer has occurred, generally at the written direction of the Subordinate Class Representative during a Subordinate Control Period, or, alternatively, if a Servicer Termination Event under Section 7.01(a)(xiv) on the part of the Affected Party has occurred, at the written direction of the Depositor, the Trustee shall, terminate, by notice in writing to the Affected Party (with a copy of such notice to each other party hereto), all of the rights and obligations (accruing from and after receipt by the Affected Party of such notice) of the Affected Party under this Agreement (other than as a Holder of any Certificate or as a Companion Loan Holder, entitlements to amounts payable to the terminated party at the time of termination and any entitlements of the terminated party that survive the termination including any Excess Servicing Fee Rights). From and after the receipt by the Affected Party of such written notice, all of the responsibilities, duties, authority and power of the Affected Party under this Agreement (and in the case of a termination of the Special Servicer at the written direction of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination, solely as they relate to such Serviced Loan Combination), whether with respect to the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans or otherwise (other than as a Holder of any Certificate or as a Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder, if applicable), shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under this Section, and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of and at the expense of the Affected 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 (provided that each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall, if terminated pursuant to this Section 7.01(b), continue to be obligated to pay and entitled to receive all amounts accrued or owing by or to it under this Agreement on or prior to the date of such termination, whether in respect of Advances or otherwise, and it and its members, managers, directors, officers, employees and agents shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 6.03 notwithstanding any such termination). Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer agrees that, if it is terminated pursuant to this Section 7.01(b), it shall promptly (and in any event no later than twenty (20) days subsequent to its receipt of the notice of termination) provide the Trustee with all documents and records requested thereby to enable the Trustee to assume the functions hereunder of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, and shall otherwise cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the rights and responsibilities hereunder of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, including the transfer within five (5) Business Days to the Trustee for administration by it of all cash amounts that at the time are or should have been credited by the Master Servicer to the Collection Account or the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodian Account, the Distribution Account or any Servicing Account or Reserve Account held by it (if it is the Affected Party) or by the Special Servicer to its REO Account, the Collection Account, the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account or any Servicing Account or Reserve 


 




  





-349-











  






 


Account held by it (if it is the Affected Party) or that are thereafter received by or on behalf of it with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Property (provided that if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is terminated pursuant to this Section 7.01(b), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall continue to be obligated to pay and entitled to receive all amounts accrued or owing by or to it under this Agreement on or prior to the date of such termination, whether in respect of Advances or otherwise, and it and its members, managers, directors, officers, employees and agents shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 6.03 notwithstanding any such termination). Any costs or expenses (including those of any other party hereto or successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer) incurred in connection with any actions to be taken by a terminated Master Servicer or Special Servicer pursuant to this paragraph (including, but not limited to, in connection with transferring Mortgage Files, Servicing Files and related information, records and reports to the successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer and amending this Agreement to reflect (as well as providing appropriate notices to borrowers, ground lessors, insurers and other applicable third parties regarding) such succession as successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer) shall be borne by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be (and, in the case of the Trustee’s costs and expenses, if not paid within a reasonable time, shall be borne by the Trust out of the Collection Account).


 


Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 7.04, the Trustee shall not waive any Servicer Termination Event under Section 7.01(a)(xiv) without the prior written consent of the Depositor. If a Servicer Termination Event under Section 7.01(a)(xiii) occurs on the part of the Master Servicer, or if any other Servicer Termination Event occurs on the part of the Master Servicer affecting a Serviced Loan Combination and the Master Servicer is not terminated pursuant to the provisions set forth above, whether as a result of a waiver or otherwise, any affected Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder shall be entitled to require the Master Servicer to appoint, in accordance with Section 3.22 and with the delivery of a Rating Agency Confirmation (and an analogous rating agency confirmation from each Pari Passu Companion Rating Agency with respect to any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Securities backed by the affected Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, if applicable pursuant to Section 3.27(k)), a Sub-Servicer to be selected by the Master Servicer, that will be responsible for primary servicing such Serviced Loan Combination.


 


(c)           Notwithstanding Section 7.01(b) of this Agreement, if the Master Servicer receives a notice of termination solely due to a Servicer Termination Event under Section 7.01(a)(x), (xi) or (xii) and the terminated Master Servicer provides the Trustee with the appropriate “request for proposal” materials within the five (5) Business Days after such termination, then the Master Servicer shall continue to serve as Master Servicer, if requested to do so by the Trustee, and the Trustee shall promptly thereafter (using such “request for proposal” materials provided by the terminated Master Servicer) solicit good faith bids for the rights to master service the Mortgage Loans and any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan under this Agreement from at least three (3) Persons qualified to act as successor Master Servicer hereunder in accordance with Section 6.02 and Section 7.02 for which the Trustee has received Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency (and, if applicable pursuant to Section 3.27(k), an analogous rating agency confirmation from each Pari Passu Companion Rating Agency) obtained by the terminated Master Servicer (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 


 




  





-350-











  






 


can determine are Qualified Bidders; provided that (i) at the Trustee’s request, the terminated Master Servicer shall supply the Trustee with the names of Persons from whom to solicit such bids; and (ii) the Trustee shall not be responsible if less than three (3) or no Qualified Bidders submit bids for the right to master service the subject Mortgage Loans and any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan under this Agreement. The bid proposal shall require any Successful Bidder (as defined below), as a condition of such bid, to enter into this Agreement as successor Master Servicer and to agree to be bound by the terms hereof, within forty-five (45) days after the receipt by the Master Servicer of a notice of termination. The Trustee shall solicit bids (i) on the basis of such successor Master Servicer retaining all applicable Sub-Servicers to continue the sub-servicing of the applicable Serviced Mortgage 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 any Serviced Mortgage Loans not subject to a Sub-Servicing Agreement at a sub-servicing fee rate per annum equal to, for each Serviced Mortgage Loan serviced, the related Master Servicing Fee Rate (or, (i) in the case of a Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan, the sum of the applicable Master Servicing Fee Rate and the applicable Pari Passu Primary Servicing Fee Rate or (ii) in the case of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, the applicable Pari Passu Primary Servicing Fee Rate) minus the sum of one (1) basis point and the related Excess Servicing Fee Rate (each, a “Servicing-Retained Bid”) and (ii) on the basis of terminating each applicable Sub-Servicing Agreement and each applicable Sub-Servicer that it is permitted to terminate in accordance with Section 3.22 and having no obligation to enter into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with the terminated Master Servicer (each, a “Servicing-Released Bid”). The Trustee shall select the Qualified Bidder with the highest cash Servicing-Retained Bid (or, if none, the highest cash Servicing-Released Bid) (the “Successful Bidder”) to act as successor Master Servicer hereunder. The Trustee shall direct the Successful Bidder to enter into this Agreement as successor Master Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof (and, if the successful bid was a Servicing-Retained Bid, to enter into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with the terminated Master Servicer as contemplated above), no later than forty-five (45) days after the termination of the terminated Master Servicer.


 


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


 


(e)           If the Successful Bidder has not entered into this Agreement as successor Master Servicer within forty-five (45) days after the related Master Servicer received a notice of termination or no Successful Bidder was identified within such 45-day period, the terminated Master Servicer 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 Section 7.01(c). The Trustee thereafter may act or may select a successor to act as Master Servicer hereunder in accordance with Section 7.02.


 


Section 7.02     Trustee To Act; Appointment of Successor. On and after the time the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer resigns pursuant to Section 6.04(a) (and a successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, has not been appointed by the resigning Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, under Section 6.04), or receives a notice of 


 




  





-351-











  






 


termination pursuant to Section 7.01, the Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to that Master Servicer or that Special Servicer, as the case may be, in its capacity as such under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter placed on the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, by the terms and provisions hereof, including, if the Master Servicer is the resigning or terminated party, the Master Servicer’s obligation to make Advances; provided that (i) any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by the failure of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, to cooperate or to provide information or monies as required by Section 7.01 shall not be considered a default by the Trustee hereunder and (ii) in the case of a terminated Master Servicer, the Trustee shall cease to act as successor Master Servicer if an alternative successor is appointed pursuant to Section 7.01(c). Neither the Trustee nor any other successor shall be liable for any of the representations and warranties of the resigning or terminated party or for any losses incurred by the resigning or terminated party pursuant to Section 3.06 hereunder nor shall the Trustee or any other successor be required to purchase any Mortgage Loan hereunder. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to all fees and other compensation which the resigning or terminated party would have been entitled to for future services rendered if the resigning or terminated party had continued to act hereunder. Notwithstanding the above, if it is unwilling to so act, the Trustee may (and, if it is unable to so act, or if the Trustee is not approved as an acceptable master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, by each Rating Agency, or if the Holders of Certificates entitled to a majority of all the Voting Rights (determined without notionally reducing the Class Principal Balances of the Certificates by any Appraisal Reduction Amounts) (or, alternatively, if a Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Special Servicer has occurred during a Subordinate Control Period, the Subordinate Class Representative) so requests in writing, the Trustee shall), promptly appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established and qualified institution as the successor to the resigning or terminated Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder; provided that such appointment is the subject of a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency (and, if applicable pursuant to Section 3.27(k), an analogous rating agency confirmation from each Pari Passu Companion Rating Agency). No appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder shall be effective until the assumption by such successor of all its responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder, and pending such appointment and assumption, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with any such appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on the Mortgage Loans or otherwise as it and such successor shall agree; provided that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the resigning or terminated party hereunder. The Depositor, the Trustee, such successor and each other party hereto 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 and if the Excess Servicing Fee Rate is a rate per annum that is greater than zero (0) basis points, it may reduce the Excess Servicing Fee Rate to the extent that the Trustee’s or such Affiliate’s compensation as successor Master Servicer would otherwise be below the market rate servicing compensation. If the Trustee elects to appoint a 


 




  





-352-











  






 


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


 


Section 7.03     Notification to Certificateholders. (a) Upon any resignation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 6.04, any replacement of the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 6.05, any termination of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer pursuant to Section 7.01, any appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer pursuant to Section 6.02, 6.04 or 7.02 or the effectiveness of any designation of a new Special Servicer, the Trustee shall promptly notify (i) the Certificate Administrator, who shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register, (ii) the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider, who shall promptly post such information on the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 8.12(c) and (iii) to any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder.


 


(b)           Not later than the later of (i) sixty (60) days after the occurrence of any event which constitutes or, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a Servicer Termination Event and (ii) five (5) days after a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge of the occurrence of such an event, the Trustee shall notify the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator, who shall transmit by mail to all Certificateholders notice of such occurrence, unless such default shall have been cured.


 


Section 7.04     Waiver of Servicer Termination Event. The Holders of Certificates representing at least 66-2/3% of the Voting Rights allocated to each Class of Certificates (and any affected Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders) affected by any Servicer Termination Event hereunder (determined without notionally reducing the Class Principal Balances of the Certificates by any Appraisal Reduction Amounts) may waive such Servicer Termination Event without the consent of any other Person; provided, however that:


 


(a)           a Servicer Termination Event under clause (i), clause (ii), clause (x), clause (xi) and clause (xii) of Section 7.01(a) may be waived only by all of the Certificateholders of the affected Classes (and any affected Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders);


 


(b)           each Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder shall be exclusively entitled to waive a Servicer Termination Event under Section 7.01(a)(xiii) that arises with respect to the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan;


 


(c)           the Depositor shall be exclusively entitled to waive any Servicer Termination Event described in Section 7.01(a)(xiv) (but if a Serviced Loan Combination is involved and the Pari Passu Companion Loan is the subject of an Other Securitization, the Depositor may not grant such a waiver without the consent of each Other Depositor with respect to each Other Securitization);


 


(d)           no waiver of any Servicer Termination Event by one or more Persons will have any force or effect unless and until the Person requesting the waiver at its own expense has reimbursed the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator for any monies spent by them in

connection with such Servicer Termination Event, together with interest thereon from and including the date so spent to but excluding the date of reimbursement.


 


Upon any such waiver of a Servicer Termination Event, such Servicer Termination Event shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose hereunder.

Notwithstanding the prior paragraph, if and to the extent that any loss, liability, cost or expense that is, pursuant to the prior paragraph, required to be borne by the Trust out of the Distribution Account or a Collection Account, relates to any Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Loan Combination, (i) such loss, liability, cost or expense shall be payable out of amounts on deposit in respect of such Serviced Loan Combination in the Collection Account and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account collectively, prior to payment from funds in the Distribution Account or a Collection Account that are unrelated to such Serviced Loan Combination; and (ii) such loss, liability, cost or expense shall be payable out of amounts on deposit in the Collection Account and the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account (withdrawals from those accounts shall be made in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement and pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal balances of the Mortgage Loan and any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan included in the related Serviced Loan Combination). Insofar as any such loss, liability, cost or expense related to any Serviced Loan Combination is so paid by withdrawal from the Collection Account or Distribution Account and funds are subsequently received and allocable to the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s), then the Master Servicer shall deposit the amount of such loss, liability, cost or expense into the Collection Account from such funds so received and allocable to the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan.


 


(b)           The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Tax Administrator (each in each of the capacities in which it serves under this Agreement and in its individual capacity) and any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents or affiliates are entitled to be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust Fund out of the Collection Account and/or the Distribution Account, as and to the extent provided in Section 3.05, for and against any loss, liability, claim or expense (including costs and expenses of litigation, and of investigation, reasonable counsel fees, damages, judgments and amounts paid in settlement) arising out of, or incurred in connection with, this Agreement, the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans (unless, in the case of the Trustee, it incurs any such expense or liability in the capacity of successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (as the case may be), in which case such expense or liability will be reimbursable thereto in the same manner as it would be for any other Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be) or any act or omission of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Tax Administrator relating to the exercise and performance of any of the rights and duties, including the appointment of a replacement Trust Advisor, of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Tax Administrator hereunder; provided that none of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Tax Administrator shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 8.05(b) for (1) allocable overhead, such as costs for office space, office equipment, supplies and related expenses, employee salaries and related expenses and similar internal costs and expenses, (2) any cost or expense that does not constitute an “unanticipated expense” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii), (3) any expense or liability specifically required to be borne thereby pursuant to the terms hereof or (4) any loss, liability, claim or expense incurred by reason of any breach on the part of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Tax Administrator of any of their respective representations, warranties or covenants contained herein or any willful misconduct, bad faith, fraud or negligence in the performance of, or negligent disregard of, the Trustee’s, the Certificate Administrator’s or the Tax Administrator’s obligations and duties hereunder.

(c)           The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each shall indemnify the Trust, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator and the Tax Administrator (each in their respective capacity as such and in their individual capacity), and each Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder, for and hold each of them harmless against any loss, liability, claim or expense that is a result of the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as the case may be, negligent acts or omissions in connection with this Agreement, including the negligent use by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, of any powers of attorney delivered to it by the Trustee pursuant to the provisions hereof and the Mortgage Loans serviced by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be; provided that, if the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator or the Tax Administrator has been reimbursed for such loss, liability, claim or expense pursuant to Section 8.05(b) above, then the indemnity in favor of such Person provided for in this Section 8.05(c) with respect to such loss, liability, claim or expense shall be for the benefit of the Trust. For the purposes of this paragraph, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer will be deemed not to have committed negligent acts or omissions in connection with this Agreement if the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, fails to follow the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents because the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, in its reasonably exercised judgment determines that following the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents would or potentially would result in an Adverse REMIC Event (for which determination, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to rely on advice of counsel, the cost of which shall be reimbursed as an Additional Trust Fund Expense).


 


(d)           Each of the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator and the Tax Administrator shall indemnify each of the Trust, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer and each other (each in their respective capacity as such and in their individual capacity) and each Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder, for and hold each of them harmless against any loss, liability, claim or expense that is a result of the Trustee’s, the Certificate Administrator’s, the Custodian’s or the Tax Administrator’s, as the case may be, negligent acts or omissions in connection with this Agreement; provided that if such indemnified person has been reimbursed for such loss, liability, claim or expense pursuant to Section 6.03 or Section 8.05(b), as the case may be, then the indemnity in favor of such Person otherwise provided for in this Section 8.05(d) with respect to such loss, liability, claim or expense shall be for the benefit of the Trust.


 


(e)           The Certificate Administrator shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, each Mortgage Loan Seller, each Underwriter and each Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder from and against any claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses incurred by the Depositor, each Mortgage Loan Seller, each Underwriter or any of their respective Affiliates that arise out of or are based upon (i) a breach by the Certificate Administrator, in its capacity as Rule 17g-5 Information Provider, of its obligations under this Agreement or (ii) negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Certificate Administrator, in its capacity as Rule 17g-5 Information Provider, in the performance of such obligations or its negligent disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement.


 


(f)            This Section 8.05 shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Tax Administrator, the

If the Trustee is being replaced, the predecessor trustee shall deliver to the successor trustee all Mortgage Files and related documents and statements held by it hereunder (other than any Mortgage Files at the time held on its behalf by the Custodian, which Custodian shall become the agent of the successor trustee), and the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the predecessor trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required to more fully and certainly vest and confirm in the successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations, and to enable the successor trustee to perform its obligations hereunder.

Section 8.09     Merger or Consolidation of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Tax Administrator. Any entity into which the Trustee, Certificate Administrator or Tax Administrator may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee, Certificate Administrator or Tax Administrator shall be a party, or any entity succeeding to the corporate trust business of the Trustee, Certificate Administrator or Tax Administrator, shall be the successor of the Trustee, Certificate Administrator or Tax Administrator, as the case may be, hereunder, provided such entity shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06, 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.

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 Master Servicer and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Master Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment within fifteen (15) days after the receipt by it of a request to do so, or in case a Servicer Termination Event in respect of the Master Servicer shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment.

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

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

resignation to the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Depositor. The resigning Custodian shall be required to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of each party to this Agreement, the Trust and each Rating Agency in connection with the resignation of the Custodian and the transfer of its duties (including, but not limited to, reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses associated with the engagement of a successor, transferring Mortgage Files and related information, records and reports to the successor). The Custodian shall comply with the requirements for Trustees set forth in Section 8.06 and shall have in place a fidelity bond and errors and omissions policy, each in such form and amount as is customarily required of custodians acting on behalf of Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae (or shall self-insure, to the extent that the Custodian is otherwise permitted to self-insure by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac). The Custodian may be removed by the Holders of Certificates entitled to more than 50% of the Voting Rights in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 8.07 (to the extent applicable).

(a) Subject to Section 9.02, the Trust and the respective obligations and responsibilities under this Agreement of the parties hereto (other than the obligations of the Certificate Administrator to provide for and make payments to Certificateholders as hereafter set forth) shall terminate upon payment (or provision for payment) to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the Certificate Administrator on behalf of the Trustee and required hereunder to be so paid on the Distribution Date following the earlier to occur of: (i) the purchase by any single Subordinate Class Certificateholder or group of Subordinate Class Certificateholders, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (whose respective rights to effect such a purchase shall be subject to the priorities and conditions set forth in subsection (b)) of all Mortgage Loans and each REO Property (or, in the case of any REO Property related to any Serviced Loan Combination, the beneficial interest of the Trust Fund in such REO Property) remaining in the Trust Fund at a price (the “Termination Price”) equal to (A) the aggregate Purchase Price of all the Mortgage Loans remaining in the Trust Fund (exclusive of any REO Mortgage Loan(s)), plus (B) the appraised value of each REO Property (or, in the case of any REO Property related to any Serviced Loan Combination, the beneficial interest of the Trust Fund in such REO Property), if any, included in the Trust Fund, such appraisal for such REO Property to be conducted by a Qualified Appraiser selected by the Special Servicer and approved by the Certificate Administrator and the Master Servicer, minus (C) if the purchaser is the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Advances made by such Person, 


 




  





-377-











  






 


together with any unpaid Advance Interest in respect of such unreimbursed Advances and any unpaid servicing compensation payable to such Person (which items shall be deemed to have been paid or reimbursed to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, in connection with such purchase); (ii) the exchange by the Sole Certificateholder(s) of all the Certificates for all Mortgage Loans and each REO Property (or, in the case of any REO Property related to any Serviced Loan Combination, the beneficial interest of the Trust Fund in such REO Property) remaining in the Trust Fund with the written consent of the Master Servicer in its sole discretion; and (iii) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan or REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund; provided that in no event shall the Trust continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James’s, living on the date hereof.


 


(b)           Any single Subordinate Class Certificateholder or group of Subordinate Class Certificateholders, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, in that order of preference (as set forth more fully below), may at its option elect to purchase all the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property (or, in the case of any REO Property related to any Serviced Loan Combination, the beneficial interest of the Trust Fund in such REO Property) remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by clause (i) of Section 9.01(a) by giving written notice to the other parties hereto (and, in the case of an election by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, to the Holders of the Subordinate Class) no later than sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated date of purchase; provided that:


 


 (A)           the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Pool at the time of such election is 1.0% or less of the Cut-off Date Pool Balance;


 


 (B)           within thirty (30) days after written notice of such election is so given, no Person with a higher right of priority to make such an election does so; and


 


 (C)           if more than one Subordinate Class Certificateholder or group of Subordinate Class Certificateholders desire to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and any REO Properties remaining in the Trust Fund, preference shall be given to the Subordinate Class Certificateholder or group of Subordinate Class Certificateholders with the largest Percentage Interest in the Subordinate Class.


 


If the Trust is to be terminated in connection with the purchase of all the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property (or, in the case of any REO Property related to any Serviced Loan Combination, the beneficial interest of the Trust Fund in such REO Property) remaining in the Trust Fund by any Subordinate Class Certificateholder(s), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, such Person(s) shall: (i) deposit, or deliver to the Master Servicer for deposit, in its Collection Account (after the Determination Date, and prior to the Master Servicer Remittance Date relating to the anticipated Final Distribution Date) an amount in immediately available funds equal to the Termination Price; and (ii) shall reimburse all of the parties hereto (other than itself, if applicable) for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by such parties in connection with such purchase. On the Master Servicer Remittance Date for the Final Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall transfer to the Distribution Account all 


 




  





-378-











  






 


amounts required to be transferred by it to such account on the Master Servicer Remittance Date from its Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.04(b), together with any other amounts on deposit in the Collection Account that would otherwise be held for future distribution. Upon confirmation that such deposits and reimbursements have been made, the Custodian shall release or cause to be released to the purchasing party (or its designee) the Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans and shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments furnished to it by the purchasing party as shall be necessary to effectuate transfer of the remaining Mortgage Loans and REO Properties to the purchasing party (or its designee).


 


Following the date on which the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB and Class D Certificates and the Class A-S, Class B and Class C Regular Interests is reduced to zero, the Sole Certificateholder(s) shall have the right to exchange all of the Certificates for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property or, in the case of any REO Property related to any Serviced Loan Combination, the beneficial interest of the Trust Fund in such REO Property, remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by clause (ii) of Section 9.01(a) by giving written notice to all the parties hereto no later than sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated date of exchange. If the Sole Certificateholder(s) elect(s) to exchange all of the Certificates for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund in accordance with the preceding sentence, such Sole Certificateholder(s), not later than the Business Day prior to the Distribution Date on which the final distribution on the Certificates is to occur, shall deposit in the Collection Account an amount in immediately available funds equal to all amounts then due and owing to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Tax Administrator and/or the Trustee hereunder (and their respective agents) that may be withdrawn from the Collection Account, pursuant to Section 3.05(a), or that may be withdrawn from the Distribution Account, pursuant to Section 3.05(b), but only to the extent that such amounts are not already on deposit in the Collection Account. In addition, the Master Servicer shall transfer to the Distribution Account all amounts required to be transferred by it to such account on the Master Servicer Remittance Date from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05(b). Upon confirmation that such final deposits have been made and following the surrender of all the Certificates on the Final Distribution Date, the Trustee shall release or cause to be released to the Sole Certificateholder(s) (or any designee thereof), the Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans and shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments furnished to it by the Sole Certificateholder(s) as shall be necessary to effectuate transfer of the remaining Mortgage Loans and REO Properties to the Sole Certificateholder(s) (or any designee thereof). For federal income tax purposes, such surrender and release shall be treated as a purchase of such Mortgage Loans and REO Properties for an amount of cash equal to all amounts due in respect thereof after the distribution of amounts remaining in the Distribution Account, and a crediting of such amounts as a final distribution on all remaining REMIC I Regular Interests, REMIC II Regular Interests, Regular Certificates and the Class A-S, Class B and Class C Regular Interests.


 


(c)           Notice of any termination shall be given promptly by the Certificate Administrator by letter to Certificateholders posted to the Certificate Administrator’s Website and mailed (x) if such notice is given in connection with the purchase of all the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and/or any Subordinate Class Certificateholder(s), not earlier than the 15th day and not later than 


 




  





-379-











  






 


the 25th day of the month next preceding the month of the final distribution on the Certificates and (y) otherwise during the month of such final distribution on or before the Master Servicer Remittance Date in such month, in any event specifying (i) the Distribution Date upon which the Trust Fund will terminate and final payment on the Certificates will be made, (ii) the amount of any such final payment in respect of each Class of Certificates and (iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office or agency of the Certificate Administrator therein designated. The Certificate Administrator shall give such notice to the other parties hereto at the time such notice is given to Certificateholders.


 


(d)           Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates by the Certificateholders on the Final Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to each Certificateholder so presenting and surrendering its Certificates such Certificateholder’s Percentage Interest of that portion of the amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account that is allocable to payments on the relevant Class in accordance with Section 4.01. Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of any Class on the Final Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to this Section 9.01 shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six (6) months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such reasonable steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any former Holder on any amount held in trust hereunder. If by the second anniversary of the delivery of such second notice, all of the Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, then, subject to applicable escheat laws, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Class R Certificateholders all unclaimed funds and other assets which remain subject hereto.


 


Section 9.02      Additional Termination Requirements. (a) If any Subordinate Class Certificateholder(s), the Master Servicer, and/or the Special Servicer purchase(s), or the Sole Certificateholder(s) exchange(s) all of the Certificates for, all the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property (or, in the case of any REO Property related to any Serviced Loan Combination, the beneficial interest of the Trust Fund in such REO Property) remaining in the Trust Fund as provided in Section 9.01 above, the Trust and each REMIC Pool shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional requirements, unless the purchasing party obtains at its own expense and delivers to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, to the effect that the failure of the Trust to comply with the requirements of this Section 9.02 will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event with respect to any REMIC Pool:

(i)            the Certificate Administrator shall specify the first day in the 90-day liquidation period in a statement attached to the final Tax Return for each REMIC Pool, pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.860F-1 and shall satisfy all requirements of a qualified liquidation under Section 860F of the Code and any regulations thereunder (as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered on behalf and at the expense of the purchasing party);


 


(ii)            during such 90-day liquidation period and at or prior to the time of making the final payment on the Certificates, the Certificate Administrator shall sell or otherwise transfer all the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the applicable Subordinate Class Certificateholder(s) or the Sole Certificateholder(s), as the case may be, in exchange for cash and/or Certificates in accordance with Section 9.01; and


 


(iii)          at the time of the final payment on the Certificates, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute or credit, or cause to be distributed or credited, to the Holders of the Certificates in accordance with Section 4.01 all remaining cash on hand (other than cash retained to meet claims), and each REMIC Pool shall terminate at that time.


 


(b)           By their acceptance of Certificates, the Holders of the Certificates hereby authorize the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Tax Administrator to prepare and adopt, on behalf of the Trust, a plan of complete liquidation of each REMIC Pool in the form of the notice of termination provided for in Section 9.01(c) and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, which authorization shall be binding upon all successor Certificateholders.

agreements with any governmental taxing agency with respect to such REMIC Pool, to extend any statute of limitations relating to any tax item of such REMIC Pool and otherwise to act on behalf of such REMIC Pool in relation to any tax matter or controversy involving such REMIC Pool; provided that the Tax Administrator is hereby irrevocably appointed and agrees to act (in consultation with the Tax Matters Person for each REMIC Pool) as agent and attorney-in-fact for the Tax Matters Person for each REMIC Pool in the performance of its duties as such. The legal expenses and costs of any action described in this Section 10.01(b) and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust payable out of amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account as provided by Section 3.05(b) unless such legal expenses and costs are incurred by reason of a Tax Matters Person’s or the Tax Administrator’s misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of, or such Person’s reckless disregard of, its obligations or are expressly provided by this Agreement to be borne by any party hereto.

(d)           The Tax Administrator shall perform on behalf of each REMIC Pool all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the responsibility of such REMIC Pool under the Code, the REMIC Provisions or other compliance guidance issued by the IRS or any state or local taxing authority.

The Trustee or the Tax Administrator, as applicable, shall not knowingly take or fail to take any action, or cause any REMIC Pool to take or fail to take any action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could result in an Adverse REMIC Event in respect of any REMIC Pool, unless the Trustee or the Tax Administrator, as applicable, has received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the contemplated action or non-action, as the case may be, will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event. None of the other parties hereto shall take or fail to take any action (whether or not authorized hereunder) as to which the Trustee or the Tax Administrator, as applicable, has advised it in writing that it has received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that an Adverse

REMIC Event could occur with respect to such action.

The Tax Administrator may consult with counsel to make such written advice, and the cost of same shall be borne by the party seeking to take the action not permitted by this Agreement (and in no event by the Trust Fund or the Tax Administrator).


 


(f)            If any tax is imposed on any REMIC Pool, including “prohibited transactions” taxes as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, any tax on “net income from foreclosure property” as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, any taxes on contributions to any REMIC Pool after the Startup Day pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, and any other tax imposed by the Code or any applicable provisions of state or local tax laws (other than any tax permitted to be incurred by the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.17(a)), then such tax, together with all incidental costs and expenses (including penalties and reasonable attorneys’ fees), shall be charged to and paid by: (i) the Trustee, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach of any of its obligations under Article IV, Article VIII or this Section 10.01 (which breach constitutes negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct); (ii) the Certificate Administrator, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Certificate Administrator of any of its obligations under Article IV, Article VIII or this Section 10.01 (which breach constitutes negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct); (iii) the Tax Administrator, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Tax Administrator of any of its obligations under Article IV, Article VIII or this Section 10.01 (which breach constitutes negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct); (iv) the Master Servicer, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Master Servicer of any of its obligations under Article III or this Section 10.01 (which breach constitutes negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct); (v) the Special Servicer, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Special Servicer of any of its obligations under Article III or this Section 10.01 (which breach constitutes negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct); or (vi) the Trust, out of the Trust Fund, in all other instances. Consistent with the foregoing, any tax permitted to be incurred by the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.17(a) shall be charged to and paid by the Trust. Any such amounts payable by the Trust in respect of taxes shall be paid by the Trustee out of amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account.


 


(g)           The Tax Administrator shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books and records with respect to each REMIC Pool on a calendar year and an accrual basis.


 


(h)           Following the Startup Day for each REMIC Pool, the Trustee shall not (except as contemplated by Section 2.03) accept any contributions of assets to any REMIC Pool unless it shall have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to cause such contribution and in no event at the expense of the Trust Fund or the Trustee) to the effect that the inclusion of such assets in such REMIC Pool will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event in respect of such REMIC Pool.

(i)            None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee shall consent to or, to the extent it is within the control of such Person, permit: (i) the sale or disposition of any Mortgage Loan (except in connection with (A) a Breach or Document Defect regarding any Mortgage Loan, (B) the foreclosure, default or reasonably foreseeable material default of a Mortgage Loan, including the sale or other disposition of a Mortgaged Property acquired by foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, (C) the bankruptcy of any REMIC Pool, or (D) the termination of the Trust pursuant to Article IX of this Agreement); (ii) the sale or disposition of any investments in any Investment Account for gain; or (iii) the acquisition of any assets for the Trust (other than a Mortgaged Property acquired through foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise in respect of a Defaulted Mortgage Loan, other than a Replacement Mortgage Loan substituted for a Deleted Mortgage Loan and other than Permitted Investments acquired in connection with the investment of funds in an Account or an interest in a single-member limited liability company, as provided in Section 3.16); in any event unless it has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to cause such sale, disposition, or acquisition and in no event at the expense of the Trust Fund or the Trustee) to the effect that such sale, disposition, or acquisition will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event in respect of any REMIC Pool.


 


(j)            Except as otherwise permitted by Section 3.17(a), none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee shall enter into any arrangement by which any REMIC Pool will receive a fee or other compensation for services or, to the extent it is within the control of such Person, permit any REMIC Pool to receive any income from assets other than “qualified mortgages” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code or “permitted investments” as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code. At all times as may be required by the Code, each of the respective parties hereto (to the extent it is within its control) shall take necessary actions within the scope of its responsibilities as more specifically set forth in this Agreement such that it does not cause substantially all of the assets of each REMIC Pool to fail to consist of “qualified mortgages” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code and “permitted investments” as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.


 


(k)           Within thirty (30) days after the related Startup Day, the Tax Administrator shall obtain an identification number by filing IRS Form SS-4 with the IRS for each REMIC Pool and prepare and file with the IRS, with respect to each REMIC Pool, IRS Form 8811 “Information Return for Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduits (REMICs) and Issuers of Collateralized Debt Obligations”.


 


Section 10.02    Grantor Trust Administration. (a) The Tax Administrator shall treat the Grantor Trust Pool, for tax return preparation purposes, as a Grantor Trust under the Code.

The expenses of preparing and filing such returns shall be borne by the Tax Administrator.


 


(b)           The Tax Administrator shall pay out of its own funds any and all routine tax administration expenses of the Trust Fund incurred with respect to the Grantor Trust Pool (but not including any professional fees or expenses related to audits or any administrative or

judicial proceedings with respect to the Trust Fund that involve the IRS or state tax authorities which extraordinary expenses shall be payable or reimbursable to the Tax Administrator from the assets in the Grantor Trust Pool, unless otherwise provided in Section 10.02(e) or 10.02(f)).


 


(c)           The Tax Administrator shall prepare or cause to be prepared, submit to the Trustee for execution (and the Trustee shall timely execute and timely return to the Tax Administrator) and timely file all of the Tax Returns in respect of the Grantor Trust Pool. The expenses of preparing and filing such returns shall be borne by the Tax Administrator without any right of reimbursement therefor. Except as provided in Section 10.02(h), 10.02(i) and 10.02(j), the Tax Administrator shall comply with such requirement by filing IRS Form 1041, indicating the name and address of the Trust and signed by the Tax Administrator but otherwise left blank, IRS Form 1099 or any other such form as may be applicable. There shall be appended to each such form a schedule for each Certificateholder indicating such Certificateholder’s share of income and expenses of the Trust for the portion of the preceding calendar year in which such Certificateholder possessed an Ownership Interest in a Certificate. Such form shall be prepared in sufficient detail to enable reporting on the cash or accrual method of accounting, as applicable, and to report on such Certificateholder’s fiscal year if other than the calendar year.


 


(d)           The other parties hereto shall provide on a timely basis to the Tax Administrator or its designee such information with respect to the Grantor Trust Pool as is in its possession and reasonably requested by the Tax Administrator to enable it to perform its obligations under this Section 10.02. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Depositor, within ten (10) days following the Tax Administrator’s request therefor, shall provide in writing to the Tax Administrator such information as is reasonably requested by the Tax Administrator for tax purposes, and the Tax Administrator’s duty to perform its reporting and other tax compliance obligations under this Section 10.02 shall be subject to the condition that it receives from the Depositor such information possessed by the Depositor that is necessary to permit the Tax Administrator to perform such obligations.


 


(e)           The Tax Administrator shall perform on behalf of the Grantor Trust Pool all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are required in respect thereof under the Code, the Grantor Trust Provisions or other compliance guidance issued by the IRS or any state or local taxing authority, including the furnishing to Certificateholders of the schedules described in Section 10.02(c).


 


(f)            The Tax Administrator shall perform its duties hereunder so as to maintain the status of the Grantor Trust Pool as Grantor Trust under the Grantor Trust Provisions (and the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall assist the Tax Administrator to the extent reasonably requested by the Tax Administrator and to the extent of information within the Trustee’s, the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s possession or control). None of the Tax Administrator, Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee shall knowingly take (or cause the Grantor Trust Pool to take) any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action that, under the Grantor Trust Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could result in an Adverse Grantor Trust Event, unless the Tax Administrator has obtained or received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party requesting such action or at the expense of the Trust Fund if the Tax Administrator seeks to take such action or to refrain from taking any action for the benefit of the Certificateholders) to the effect that the contemplated action will not result 


 




  





-385-











  






 


in an Adverse Grantor Trust Event. None of the other parties hereto shall take any action or fail to take any action (whether or not authorized hereunder) as to which the Tax Administrator has advised it in writing that the Tax Administrator has received or obtained an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that an Adverse Grantor Trust Event could result from such action or failure to act. In addition, prior to taking any action with respect to the Grantor Trust Pool, or causing the Trust Fund to take any action, that is not expressly permitted under the terms of this Agreement, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall consult with the Tax Administrator or its designee, in writing, with respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse Grantor Trust Event to occur. The Tax Administrator may consult with counsel to make such written advice, and the cost of same shall be borne by the party seeking to take the action not permitted by this Agreement, but in no event at the cost or expense of the Trust Fund, the Tax Administrator or the Trustee.


 


(g)           If any tax is imposed on the Grantor Trust Pool pursuant to the Code or any applicable provisions of state or local tax laws, then such tax, together with all incidental costs and expenses (including penalties and reasonable attorneys’ fees), shall be charged to and paid by: (i) the Trustee, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach of any of its obligations under Article IV, Article VIII or this Section 10.02 (which breach constitutes negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct); (ii) the Certificate Administrator, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Certificate Administrator of any of its obligations under Article IV, Article VIII or this Section 10.02 (which breach constitutes negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct); (iii) the Tax Administrator, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Tax Administrator of any of its obligations under Article IV, Article VIII or this Section 10.02 (which breach constitutes negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct); (iv) the Master Servicer, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Master Servicer of any of its obligations under Article III or this Section 10.02 (which breach constitutes negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct); (v) the Special Servicer, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Special Servicer of any of its obligations under Article III or this Section 10.02 (which breach constitutes negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct); or (vi) the Trust, out of the Trust Fund, in all other instances. Any such amounts payable by the Trust in respect of taxes shall be paid by the Trustee out of amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account.


 


(h)           The Grantor Trust is a WHFIT that is a WHMT. The Tax Administrator will report as required under the WHFIT Regulations to the extent such information as is reasonably necessary to enable the Tax Administrator to do so is provided to the Tax Administrator on a timely basis. The Certificate Administrator shall provide such information in its possession to the Tax Administrator on a timely basis. With respect to the Class A-S, Class B, Class C and Class PEX Certificates, the Tax Administrator is hereby directed to assume that DTC is the only “middleman” as defined by the WHFIT Regulations unless the Depositor provides the Tax Administrator with the identities of other “middlemen” that are Certificateholders. With respect to the Class V Certificates, if the Tax Administrator receives notice that any Class V Certificate is held through a nominee, the Tax Administrator will treat such nominee as the “middleman” with respect to such certificate unless it has actual knowledge to the contrary or the Depositor provides the Tax Administrator with the identities of other “middlemen” that are Certificateholders. The Tax Administrator will report as required under the WHFIT Regulations to the extent such information as is reasonably necessary to enable the Tax Administrator to do so, and is not in its possession, is provided to the Tax Administrator on

a timely basis. The Tax Administrator will not be liable for any tax reporting penalties that may arise under the WHFIT Regulations as a result of a determination by the IRS that is contrary to the first sentence of this paragraph or that the notice received with respect to a Class V Certificate as described above is incorrect. The Tax Administrator will report as required under the WHFIT Regulations to the extent such information as is reasonably necessary to enable the Tax Administrator to do so, and is not in its possession, is provided to the Tax Administrator on a timely basis. The Tax Administrator will not be liable for any tax reporting penalties that may arise under the WHFIT Regulations as a result of a determination by the IRS that is contrary to the first sentence of this paragraph.


 


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


 


(j)           The Tax 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 Tax Administrator or (ii) incomplete, inaccurate or untimely information being provided to the Tax 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 Tax Administrator with information regarding any sale of such securities, including the price, amount of proceeds and date of sale. Absent receipt of such information, and unless informed otherwise by the Depositor, the Tax Administrator will assume there is no secondary market trading of WHFIT interests.


 


(k)          To the extent required by the WHFIT Regulations, the Tax Administrator will use reasonable efforts to publish on an appropriate website the CUSIPs for the Certificates that represent ownership of a WHFIT. The CUSIPs so published will represent the Rule 144A CUSIPs. The Tax Administrator will not publish any associated Regulation S CUSIPs. The Tax Administrator will 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 Tax Administrator will use a reasonable identifier number in lieu of a CUSIP. The Tax Administrator will not be liable for investor reporting delays that result from the receipt of inaccurate or untimely CUSIP information.


 


Section 10.03    The Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to Cooperate with the Tax Administrator. (a) The Depositor shall provide or cause to be provided to the Tax Administrator, within ten (10) days after the Closing Date, all information or data that the Tax Administrator reasonably determines to be relevant for tax purposes as to the valuations and Issue Prices of the Certificates, including the price, yield, prepayment assumption and projected cash flow of the Certificates.

(b)          Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall furnish such reports, certifications and information in its possession, and access to such books and records maintained thereby, as may relate to the Certificates or the Trust Fund and as shall be reasonably requested by the Tax Administrator in order to enable it to perform its duties under this Article X.


 


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

In addition, with respect to each Servicing Function Participant that is a Designated Sub-Servicer of a party to this Agreement, such party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Designated Sub-Servicer to deliver or make available to the Depositor or the Certificate Administrator and any such Other Depositor or Other Trustee, as applicable, (including any of their assignees or designees) (i) any and all information in its possession and necessary in the reasonable good faith determination of the Depositor or the Certificate Administrator or any such Other Depositor or Other Trustee to permit the Depositor or any such Other Depositor to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, the Exchange Act and the Securities Act and (ii) such disclosure relating to the Servicing Function Participant or the Servicing of the Mortgage Loans (or, if applicable, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan), in each case reasonably believed by the Depositor or the Certificate Administrator or the related Other Depositor or 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 11.01, but in any event, shall, upon reasonable advance written request, provide information in sufficient time to allow the Depositor or the Certificate Administrator or the related Other Depositor or related Other Trustee, as applicable, to satisfy any related filing requirements.


 


For purposes of this Article XI, 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.


 


Section 11.02    Notification Requirements and Deliveries in Connection with Securitization of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan. (a) Any other provision of this Article XI to the contrary notwithstanding, including, without limitation, any deadlines for delivery set forth in this Article XI, in connection with the requirements contained in this Article XI 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 is subject to Regulation AB, no party hereunder shall be obligated to provide any such items to or cooperate with such Other Depositor or Other Trustee (i) unless it is required to deliver corresponding information and other items with respect to the Trust or, in the reasonable good faith determination of an Other Depositor or an Other Trustee, is necessary to permit the related Other Depositor to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, the Exchange Act and the Securities Act, (ii) until the Other Depositor or Other Trustee of such Other Securitization has provided each party hereto with not less than 30 days written notice (which shall only be required to be delivered once) stating that such Other Securitization is subject to Regulation AB and that the Other Securitization is subject to Exchange Act reporting, and (iii) specifying in reasonable detail the information and other items requested to be delivered; provided that if Exchange Act reporting is being requested, such Other Depositor or Other Trustee is only required to provide a single written notice to such effect. Any reasonable cost and expense of the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, Trust Advisor, Trustee and Certificate Administrator in cooperating with such

Other Depositor or Other Trustee of such Other Securitization (above and beyond their expressed duties hereunder) shall be the responsibility of such Other Depositor or Other Securitization.

(c)           The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, upon reasonable prior written request given in accordance with the terms of Section 11.02(a) above, shall each timely provide (to the extent the reasonable cost thereof is paid or caused to be paid by the requesting party) to the Other Depositor and any underwriters with respect to any Other Securitization such opinion(s) of counsel, certifications, compliance letters and/or indemnification agreement(s) with respect to the updated description referred to in Section 11.02(b) above with respect to such party, substantially identical to those, if any, delivered by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, or their respective counsel, in connection with the information concerning such party in the Prospectus and/or any other disclosure materials relating to this Trust (updated as deemed appropriate by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, or their respective legal counsel, as the case may be). Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be obligated to deliver any such item with respect to the securitization of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan if it did not deliver a corresponding item with respect to this Trust.


 


Section 11.03    Sub-Servicers; Subcontractors and Agents. For so long as the Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, if any Person appointed as a subcontractor or agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator (whether appointed directly by such party or by a Sub-Servicer or subcontractor or agent) would be a Servicing Function Participant, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, shall promptly following request provide to the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator a written description (in form and substance satisfactory to the Depositor) of the role and function of such Person, which description shall include (i) the identity of such subcontractor, and (ii) which elements of the Servicing Criteria will be addressed in the assessments of compliance to be provided by such subcontractor or agent.

the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, if any Sub-Servicer, or any subcontractor or agent described above, would be a “servicer” within the meaning of Item 1101 of Regulation AB and meets the criteria in Item 1108(a)(2)(i), (ii) or (iii) of Regulation AB, the engagement of such Person in such capacity shall not be effective unless and until five (5) Business Days have elapsed following the delivery to the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator of (1) notice of the proposed engagement and (2) the related agreement (or, if such agreement is not of the type that is required to be filed under Regulation AB in the good faith judgment of the Depositor, an instrument inuring to the direct benefit of the Depositor in which such Person affirms the rights of the Depositor contemplated by the next succeeding paragraph).

With respect to each Significant Obligor, to the extent that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, is in receipt of the updated financial statements of the Significant Obligor for any calendar quarter (other than the fourth calendar quarter of any calendar year), beginning for the calendar quarter ending March 31, 2015, or the updated financial statements of the Significant Obligor for any calendar year, beginning for the calendar year ending December 31, 2014, as applicable, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall deliver to the Certificate Administrator, on or prior to the day that occurs two Business Days prior to the related Significant Obligor NOI Quarterly Filing Deadline or seven Business Days prior to the related Significant Obligor NOI Yearly Filing Deadline, as applicable, (A) if such financial statement receipt occurs 12 or more Business Days prior to the related Significant Obligor NOI Quarterly Filing Deadline or 17 or more Business Days prior to the related Significant Obligor NOI Yearly Filing Deadline, as applicable, such financial statements of the Significant Obligor, together with the net operating income of such Significant Obligor for the applicable period as calculated by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in accordance with CREFC® guidelines and (B) if such financial statement receipt occurs less than 12 Business Days prior to the related Significant Obligor NOI Quarterly Filing Deadline or less than 17 Business Days prior to the related Significant Obligor NOI Yearly Filing Deadline, as applicable, such financial statements of the Significant Obligor, together with the net operating income of such Significant Obligor for the applicable period as reported by the related Borrower in such financial statements.

financial statements from the applicable Non-Trust Master Servicer if the Master Servicer does not receive such financial statements within ten Business Days after the date such financial statements are required to be delivered under the related Mortgage Loan Documents. If the Master Servicer does not receive financial information of any Significant Obligor satisfactory to comply with this Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Documents which information is gathered to allow the Trustee/Certificate Administrator to comply with Item 6 of Form 10-D or paragraph 2(b) of General Instruction J to Form 10-K, as the case may be, within ten Business Days after the date such financial information is required to be delivered under the related Mortgage Loan Documents, the Master Servicer shall notify the Depositor (and the Master Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause a Sub-Servicer to notify the Depositor and shall cause each Sub-Servicing Agreement to require the related Sub-Servicer to notify the Depositor) that it has not received them.


 


If the Certificate Administrator has not received financial information satisfactory to comply with Item 6 of Form 10-D or Item 1112(b)(1) of Form 10-K, as the case may be, it shall include the following statement with respect to Item 6 on the related Form 10-D or Item 1112(b)(1) on the related Form 10-K: “The information required for this [Item 6] [Item 1112(b)(1)] rests with a person or entity which is not affiliated with the registrant. Oral and written requests have been made on behalf of the registrant, to the extent required under the related pooling and servicing agreement, to obtain the information required for this [Item 6] [Item 1112(b)(1)], and the registrant has been unable to obtain such information to include on this [Form 10-D] [Form 10-K] by the related filing deadline. The information is therefore being omitted herefrom in reliance on Rule 12b-21 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended” or such other statement as directed by the Depositor.


 


(c)           With respect to any Mortgaged Property that secures a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan that the Other Depositor has notified the Master Servicer in writing is a “significant obligor” (within the meaning of Item 1101(k) of Regulation AB) with respect to an Other Securitization that includes such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, the Master Servicer shall, after receipt of updated net operating income information, (x) upon request, deliver or make available the financial statements of such “significant obligor” to the Other Master Servicer of such Other Securitization and (y) update the columns of the CREFC Loan Periodic Update File related to such “significant obligor” as described in the last sentence of the first paragraph of subsection (b) and forward such updates to the Other Master Servicer.


 


If the Master Servicer does not receive such financial information of any such “significant obligor” (identified to it as such by the Other Depositor in accordance with the preceding paragraph) within ten (10) Business Days after the date such financial information is required to be delivered under the related Mortgage Loan Documents, the Master Servicer shall notify the Other Depositor with respect to such Other Securitization that includes the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (and shall cause any related Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into after receipt of written notice from the Other Depositor that such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan is a significant obligor to require the related Sub-Servicer to notify such Other Depositor) that it has not received them. The Master Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard (taking into account, in addition, the ongoing reporting obligations of such Other Depositor under the Exchange Act) to obtain the periodic financial statements required to be delivered by the related Borrower under the related Mortgage Loan Documents.

The Master Servicer shall (and shall cause any related Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into after receipt of written notice from the Other Depositor that such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan is a significant obligor to require the related Sub-Servicer to) retain written evidence of each instance in which it (or a Sub-Servicer) attempts to contact the Borrower related to any such “significant obligor” (identified to it as such by the Other Depositor in accordance with the second preceding paragraph) to obtain the required financial information and is unsuccessful and, within five (5) Business Days prior to the date in which a Form 10-D or Form 10-K, as applicable, is required to be filed by the Other Securitization, shall forward an Officer’s Certificate evidencing its attempts to obtain this information to the certificate administrator and Other Depositor related to such Other Securitization. This Officer’s Certificate should be addressed to the certificate administrator at its corporate trust office, as specified in the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Other than to the extent provided for in clause (iii) above, the Certificate Administrator has no duty under this Agreement to monitor or enforce the performance by the parties listed on Schedule V of their duties under this paragraph or proactively solicit or procure from such parties any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure information.

The Certificate Administrator shall have no liability for any loss, expense, damage, claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare or file such Form 10-D where such failure results from the Certificate Administrator’s inability or failure to receive on a timely basis any information from any other party hereto needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 10-D, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

The Certificate Administrator shall have no liability for any loss, expense, damage, claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare, arrange for execution and/or timely file such Form 8-K, where such failure results from the Certificate Administrator’s inability or failure to receive approved Form 8-K Disclosure Information within the applicable timeframes set forth in this Section 11.10 and not resulting from the Certificate Administrator’s own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (provided that to the extent that the Certificate Administrator is notified of such Reportable Event and it does not receive the necessary Form 8–K Disclosure Information, it will notify the Depositor that it has not received such information and further provided that the limitation on liability provided by this sentence shall not be applicable if the Reportable Event relates to the Certificate Administrator or any party that the Certificate Administrator has engaged to perform its obligations under this Agreement).

The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee and the Trust Advisor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each related Servicing Function Participant (other than any party to this Agreement) with which it has entered into a servicing relationship with respect to the Mortgage Loans, to indemnify and hold harmless the Certification Parties 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 or primary servicing agreement, 


 




  





-409-











  






 


as applicable or (ii), other than with respect to Designated Sub-Servicers, any Deficient Exchange Act Deliverable regarding, and delivered by or on behalf of, such Servicing Function Participant.


 


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, the Trust Advisor, each Additional Servicer or other Servicing Function Participant (the “Performing Party”) 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 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 breach of the Performing Party’s obligations pursuant to this Article XI. The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trust Advisor and the Trustee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each related Servicing Function Participant (other than any party to this Agreement) with which it has entered into a servicing relationship with respect to the 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) 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 


 




  





-410-











  






 


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.


 


Section 11.16      Amendments.

If a Transfer of this Certificate is to be made without registration under the Securities Act, then (except in limited circumstances specified in the Agreement) the Certificate Registrar shall refuse to register such Transfer unless it receives (and, upon receipt, may conclusively rely upon) either:  (i) a certificate from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such Transfer substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C-1A or Exhibit C-2A to the Agreement and a certificate from such Certificateholder’s prospective Transferee substantially in the form attached either as Exhibit C-1B or as Exhibit C-2B to the Agreement, or (ii) an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Certificate Administrator to the effect that such prospective Transferee is an Institutional Accredited Investor or a Qualified Institutional Buyer and such Transfer may be made without registration under the Securities Act (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Tax Administrator, the Custodian or the Certificate Registrar in their respective capacities as such), together with the written certification(s) as to the facts surrounding such Transfer from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such Transfer and/or such Certificateholder’s prospective Transferee on which such Opinion of Counsel is based.

Except as discussed below or under such other limited circumstances as are provided in the Agreement, if this Certificate constitutes a Rule 144A Global Certificate, then interests herein shall not be transferred to any Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in anything other than a Rule 144A Global Certificate.

Certificate shall not be transferred to any Person other than an institution that is a non-United States Securities Person in an Offshore Transaction who takes delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in this Regulation S Global Certificate.  If the transfer occurs on or prior to the Release Date, then the Certificate Owner desiring to effect such Transfer shall be required to obtain from such Certificate Owner’s prospective Transferee a written certification substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C-3B to the Agreement.  On or prior to the Release Date, beneficial interests in any Regulation S Global Certificate may be held only through Euroclear or Clearstream.

A-1-9











  






 


Subordinate Class Certificateholders, at a price determined as provided in the Agreement, of all the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property (or, in the case of any REO Property related to any Serviced Loan Combination, the beneficial interest of the Trust Fund in such REO Property) remaining in the Trust Fund; and (iii) the exchange by the Sole Certificateholder(s) of all the Certificates for all Mortgage Loans and each REO Property (or, in the case of any REO Property related to any Serviced Loan Combination, the beneficial interest of the Trust Fund in such REO Property) remaining in the Trust Fund with the written consent of the Master Servicer in its sole discretion.  The Agreement permits, but does not require, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, or any single Subordinate Class Certificateholder or group of Subordinate Class Certificateholders to purchase from the Trust Fund all the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property (or, in the case of any REO Property related to any Serviced Loan Combination, the beneficial interest of the Trust Fund in such REO Property) remaining therein.  The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Pool at the time of purchase being 1.0% or less of the Cut-off Date Pool Balance.


 


The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the parties thereto and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the parties to the Agreement with the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to not less than 66-2/3% of the Voting Rights allocated to all of the Classes materially affected by the amendment and, if adversely affected by the amendment, any third-party beneficiary.  Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate.  The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, including any amendment necessary to maintain the status of any REMIC Pool as a REMIC, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.


 


Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.


 


The registered Holder hereof, by its acceptance hereof, agrees that it will look solely to the Trust Fund (to the extent of its rights therein) for distributions hereunder.


 


This Certificate shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements negotiated, made and to be performed entirely in said State, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the Holder hereof shall be determined in accordance with such laws.

A-2-5











  






 


Administrator of any change or impending change in its status as a Permitted Transferee.  In connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership Interest in this Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall require delivery to it, and shall not register the Transfer of this Certificate until its receipt of, an affidavit and agreement substantially in the form attached as Exhibit E-1 to the Agreement (a “Transfer Affidavit and Agreement”) from the proposed Transferee, representing and warranting, among other things, that such Transferee is a Permitted Transferee, that it is not acquiring its Ownership Interest in this Certificate as a nominee, trustee or agent for any Person that is not a Permitted Transferee.  Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement by a proposed Transferee, if a Responsible Officer of either the Certificate Registrar or the Certificate Administrator has actual knowledge that the proposed Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, no Transfer of an Ownership Interest in this Certificate to such proposed Transferee shall be effected.  In connection therewith, the Certificate Registrar shall not register the transfer of an Ownership Interest in this Certificate to any entity classified as a partnership under the Code unless at the time of transfer, all of its beneficial owners are, and under the partnership agreements are required to be, United States Securities Persons.


 


Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in this Certificate shall agree (x) to require a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement from any other Person to whom such Person attempts to transfer its Ownership Interest herein and (y) not to transfer its Ownership Interest herein unless it provides to the Certificate Registrar a certificate substantially in the form attached as Exhibit E-2 to the Agreement stating that, among other things, it has no actual knowledge that such other Person is not a Permitted Transferee.  Each Person holding or acquiring an Ownership Interest in this Certificate, by purchasing such Ownership Interest herein, agrees to give the Certificate Administrator and the Tax Administrator written notice that it is a “pass-through interest holder” within the meaning of temporary Treasury Regulation Section 1.67-3T(a)(2)(i)(A) immediately upon acquiring such Ownership Interest, if it is, or is holding such Ownership Interest on behalf of, a “pass-through interest holder.”


 


If a Person is acquiring this Certificate as a fiduciary or agent for one or more accounts, such Person shall be required to deliver to the Certificate Registrar a certification to the effect that, and such other evidence as may be reasonably required by the Certificate Registrar to confirm that, it has (i) sole investment discretion with respect to each such account and (ii) full power to make the acknowledgments, representations, warranties, certifications and/or agreements with respect to each such account described above in this Certificate.


 


The provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the Agreement may be modified, added to or eliminated, provided that there shall have been delivered to the Certificate Administrator and the Tax Administrator the following:  (a) a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such modification of, addition to or elimination of such provisions; and (b) an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate Administrator and the Tax Administrator, to the effect that such modification of, addition to or elimination of such provisions will not cause any REMIC Pool to cease to qualify as a REMIC or be subject to an entity-level tax caused by the Transfer of a Class R Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, or cause a Person other than the prospective Transferee to be subject to a REMIC-related tax caused by the Transfer of a Class R Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee.


 




  





A-2-6











  






 


A “Permitted Transferee” is any Transferee other than a “Disqualified Organization”, a “Disqualified Non-United States Tax Person” or a “Disqualified Partnership” (each as defined in the Agreement) and other than a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base (each within the meaning of any applicable income tax treaty) of a United States Tax Person or any other Person as to whom the transfer of this Certificate may cause any REMIC Pool to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding.

No service charge will be imposed for any transfer or exchange of this Certificate, but the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of this Certificate.


 


The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Trust Advisor, the Tax Administrator, the Custodian, the Certificate Registrar and any agent of any such party may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of such parties or such agents shall be affected by notice to the contrary.


 


Subject to certain terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement, the Trust and the obligations created by the Agreement shall terminate upon payment (or provision for payment) to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the Certificate Administrator on behalf of the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan or REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund; (ii) the purchase by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or any single Subordinate Class Certificateholder or group of Subordinate Class Certificateholders, at a price determined as provided in the Agreement, of all the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property (or, in the case of any REO Property related to any Serviced Loan Combination, the beneficial interest of the Trust Fund in such REO Property) remaining in the Trust Fund; and (iii) the exchange by the Sole Certificateholder(s) of all the Certificates for all Mortgage Loans and each REO Property (or, in the case of any REO Property related to any Serviced Loan Combination, the beneficial interest of the Trust Fund in such REO Property) remaining in the Trust Fund with the written consent of the Master Servicer in its sole discretion.  The Agreement permits, but does not require, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or any single Subordinate Class Certificateholder or group of Subordinate Class Certificateholders to purchase from the Trust Fund all the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property (or, in the case of any REO Property related to any Serviced Loan Combination, the beneficial interest of the Trust Fund in such REO Property) remaining therein.  The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such right to purchase is

Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate.  The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, including any amendment necessary to maintain the status of any REMIC Pool as a REMIC, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.


 


Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.


 


The registered Holder hereof, by its acceptance hereof, agrees that it will look solely to the Trust Fund (to the extent of its rights therein) for distributions hereunder.


 


This Certificate shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements negotiated, made and to be performed entirely in said State, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the Holder hereof shall be determined in accordance with such laws.

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the parties thereto and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the parties to the Agreement with the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to not less than 66-2/3% of the Voting Rights allocated to all of the Classes materially affected by the amendment and, if adversely affected by the amendment, any third-party beneficiary.

DTC holds and provides asset servicing for over 3.5 million issues of U.S. and non-U.S. equity issues, corporate and municipal debt issues, and money market instruments (from over 100 countries) that DTC’s participants (“Direct Participants”) deposit with DTC.  DTC also facilitates the post-trade settlement among Direct Participants of sales and other securities transactions in deposited securities, through electronic computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between Direct Participants’ accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of securities certificates.  Direct Participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations.  DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (“DTCC”).  DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies.  DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly (“Indirect Participants”).  DTC has a Standard & Poor’s rating of AA+.  The DTC Rules applicable to its Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  More information about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com.


 


3.       Purchases of Securities under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for the Securities on DTC’s records.  The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each Security (“Beneficial Owner”) is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants’ records.  Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase.  Beneficial Owners are, however, expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction.  Transfers of ownership interests in the Securities are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and Indirect Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in Securities, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the Securities is discontinued.


 


4.       To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Securities deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC’s partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC.  The deposit of Securities with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other DTC nominee do not effect any change in beneficial ownership.  DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Securities; DTC’s records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Securities are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners.  The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.

Schedule A

(To Issuer Letter of Representations)


 


5.        Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. [Beneficial Owners of Securities may wish to take certain steps to augment the transmission to them of notices of significant events with respect to the Securities, such as redemptions, tenders, defaults, and proposed amendments to the Security documents.  For example, Beneficial Owners of Securities may wish to ascertain that the nominee holding the Securities for their benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit notices to Beneficial Owners.  In the alternative, Beneficial Owners may wish to provide their names and addresses to the registrar and request that copies of notices be provided directly to them.] 


 


[6.       Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC.  If less than all of the Securities within an issue are being redeemed, DTC’s practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such issue to be redeemed.]


 


7.        Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to Securities unless authorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC’s MMI Procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to Issuer as soon as possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.’s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts Securities are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy).


 


8.        Redemption proceeds, distributions, and dividend payments on the Securities will be made to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC.  DTC’s practice is to credit Direct Participants’ accounts upon DTC’s receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from Issuer or Agent, on payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC’s records.  Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in “street name,” and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC, Agent, or Issuer, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time.  Payment of redemption proceeds, distributions, and dividend payments to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of Issuer or Agent, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners will be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants.


 


[9.       A Beneficial Owner shall give notice to elect to have its Securities purchased or tendered, through its Participant, to [Tender/Remarketing] Agent, and shall effect delivery of such Securities by causing the Direct Participant to transfer the Participant’s interest in the Securities, on DTC’s records, to [Tender/Remarketing] Agent.  The requirement for physical delivery of Securities in connection with an optional tender or a mandatory purchase will be deemed satisfied when the ownership rights in the Securities are transferred by Direct Participants on DTC’s records and followed by a book-entry credit of tendered Securities to [Tender/Remarketing] Agent’s DTC account.] 


 


10.      DTC may discontinue providing its services as depository with respect to the Securities at any time by giving reasonable notice to Issuer or Agent.  Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor depository is not obtained, Security certificates are required to be printed and delivered. 


 


11.      Issuer may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry-only transfers through DTC (or a successor securities depository). In that event, Security certificates will be printed and delivered to DTC. 


 


12.      The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC’s book-entry system has been obtained from sources that Issuer believes to be reliable, but Issuer takes no responsibility for the accuracy thereof.

Schedule A

(To Issuer Letter of Representations)


 


SAMPLE OFFERING DOCUMENT LANGUAGE 

DESCRIBING BOOK-ENTRY-ONLY ISSUANCE


(Prepared by DTC--bracketed material may be applicable only to certain issues)


 


1.       The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), New York, NY, will act as securities depository for the securities (the “Securities”).  The Securities will be issued as fully-registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC’s partnership nominee) or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC.  One fully-registered Security certificate will be issued for [each issue of] the Securities, [each] in the aggregate principal amount of such issue, and will be deposited with DTC.  [If, however, the aggregate principal amount of [any] issue exceeds $500 million, one certificate will be issued with respect to each $500 million of principal amount, and an additional certificate will be issued with respect to any remaining principal amount of such issue.]


 


2.       DTC, the world’s largest securities depository, is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a “banking organization” within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  DTC holds and provides asset servicing for over 3.5 million issues of U.S. and non-U.S. equity issues, corporate and municipal debt issues, and money market instruments (from over 100 countries) that DTC’s participants (“Direct Participants”) deposit with DTC.  DTC also facilitates the post-trade settlement among Direct Participants of sales and other securities transactions in deposited securities, through electronic computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between Direct Participants’ accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of securities certificates.  Direct Participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations.  DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (“DTCC”).  DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies.  DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly (“Indirect Participants”).  DTC has a Standard & Poor’s rating of AA+.  The DTC Rules applicable to its Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  More information about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com.


 


3.       Purchases of Securities under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for the Securities on DTC’s records.  The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each Security (“Beneficial Owner”) is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants’ records.  Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase.  Beneficial Owners are, however, expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction.  Transfers of ownership interests in the Securities are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and Indirect Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in Securities, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the Securities is discontinued.


 


4.       To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Securities deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC’s partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC.  The deposit of Securities with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other DTC nominee do not effect any change in beneficial ownership.  DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Securities; DTC’s records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Securities are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners.  The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.

Schedule A

(To Issuer Letter of Representations)


 


5.       Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. [Beneficial Owners of Securities may wish to take certain steps to augment the transmission to them of notices of significant events with respect to the Securities, such as redemptions, tenders, defaults, and proposed amendments to the Security documents.  For example, Beneficial Owners of Securities may wish to ascertain that the nominee holding the Securities for their benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit notices to Beneficial Owners.  In the alternative, Beneficial Owners may wish to provide their names and addresses to the registrar and request that copies of notices be provided directly to them.] 


 


[6.      Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC.  If less than all of the Securities within an issue are being redeemed, DTC’s practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such issue to be redeemed.]


 


7.       Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to Securities unless authorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC’s MMI Procedures.  Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to Issuer as soon as possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.’s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts Securities are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy).


 


8.       Redemption proceeds, distributions, and dividend payments on the Securities will be made to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC.  DTC’s practice is to credit Direct Participants’ accounts upon DTC’s receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from Issuer or Agent, on payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC’s records.  Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in “street name,” and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC, Agent, or Issuer, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time.  Payment of redemption proceeds, distributions, and dividend payments to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of Issuer or Agent, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners will be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants.


 


[9.       A Beneficial Owner shall give notice to elect to have its Securities purchased or tendered, through its Participant, to [Tender/Remarketing] Agent, and shall effect delivery of such Securities by causing the Direct Participant to transfer the Participant’s interest in the Securities, on DTC’s records, to [Tender/Remarketing] Agent. The requirement for physical delivery of Securities in connection with an optional tender or a mandatory purchase will be deemed satisfied when the ownership rights in the Securities are transferred by Direct Participants on DTC’s records and followed by a book-entry credit of tendered Securities to [Tender/Remarketing] Agent’s DTC account.] 


 


10.      DTC may discontinue providing its services as depository with respect to the Securities at any time by giving reasonable notice to Issuer or Agent.  Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor depository is not obtained, Security certificates are required to be printed and delivered. 


 


11.      Issuer may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry-only transfers through DTC (or a successor securities depository). In that event, Security certificates will be printed and delivered to DTC. 


 


12.      The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC’s book-entry system has been obtained from sources that Issuer believes to be reliable, but Issuer takes no responsibility for the accuracy thereof.

Ladies and Gentlemen:


 


This letter is delivered to you in connection with the transfer by __________ (the “Transferor”) to _________ (the “Transferee”) of the Transferred Certificates.  The Certificates, including the Transferred Certificates, were issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of December 1, 2014 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among RBS Commercial Funding Inc., as Depositor (the “Depositor”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, CWCapital Asset Management LLC, as Special Servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, as Tax Administrator and as Custodian, Trimont Real Estate Advisors, Inc., as Trust Advisor, and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee.

Neither the Transferor nor anyone acting on its behalf has (a) offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred any Transferred Certificate, any interest in any Transferred Certificate or any other similar security to any person in any manner, (b) solicited any offer to buy or accept a pledge or other transfer of any Transferred Certificate, any interest in any Transferred Certificate or any other similar security from any person in any manner, (c) otherwise approached or negotiated with respect to any Transferred Certificate, any interest in any Transferred Certificate or any other similar security with any person in any manner, (d) made any general solicitation with respect to any Transferred Certificate, any interest in a Transferred Certificate or any other similar

security by means of general advertising or in any other manner or (e) taken any other action with respect to any Transferred Certificate, any interest in a Transferred Certificate or any other similar security, which (in the case of any of the acts described in clauses (a) through (e) hereof) would constitute a distribution of any Transferred Certificate under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), would render the offer, sale, pledge or other transfer of any Transferred Certificate a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act or any applicable state or foreign securities laws, or would require registration or qualification of any Transferred Certificate pursuant to the Securities Act or any applicable state or foreign securities laws.  The Transferor will not act, nor has it authorized or will it authorize any person to act, in any manner set forth in the foregoing sentence with respect to any Transferred Certificate, any interest in any Transferred Certificate or any other similar security.


 


3.          The Transferor and any person acting on behalf of the Transferor in this matter reasonably believe that the Transferee is a “qualified institutional buyer” (a “Qualified Institutional Buyer”) as that term is defined in Rule 144A (“Rule 144A”) under the Securities Act, purchasing for its own account or for the account of another person that is itself a Qualified Institutional Buyer.  In determining whether the Transferee is a Qualified Institutional Buyer, the Transferor and any person acting on behalf of the Transferor in this matter have relied upon the following method(s) of establishing the Transferee’s ownership and discretionary investments of securities (check one or more):



	 	 	 
	 	
____

	
(a)           The Transferee’s most recent publicly available financial statements, which statements present the information as of a date within 16 months preceding the date of sale of the Transferred Certificates in the case of a U.S. purchaser and within 18 months preceding such date of sale for a foreign purchaser; or


	 	 	 
	 	
____

	
(b)           The most recent publicly available information appearing in documents filed by the Transferee with the Securities and Exchange Commission or another United States federal, state, or local governmental agency or self-regulatory organization, or with a foreign governmental agency or self-regulatory organization, which information is as of a date within 16 months preceding the date of sale of the Transferred Certificates in the case of a U.S. purchaser and within 18 months preceding such date of sale for a foreign purchaser; or


	 	 	 
	 	
____

	
(c)           The most recent publicly available information appearing in a recognized securities manual, which information is as of a date within 16 months preceding the date of sale of the Transferred Certificates in the case of a U.S. purchaser and within 18 months preceding such date of sale for a foreign purchaser; or


	 	 	 
	 	
____

	
(d)          A certification by the chief financial officer, a person fulfilling an equivalent function, or other executive officer of the Transferee, specifying the amount of securities owned and invested on a discretionary 







 




  





C-2A-2











  






 



	 	 	basis by the Transferee as of a specific date on or since the close of the Transferee’s most recent fiscal year, or, in the case of a Transferee that is a member of a “family of investment companies”, as that term is defined in Rule 144A(a)(1)(iv), a certification by an executive officer of the investment adviser specifying the amount of securities owned by the “family of investment companies” as of a specific date on or since the close of the Transferee’s most recent fiscal year.





 


4.          The Transferor and any person acting on behalf of the Transferor understand that in determining the aggregate amount of securities owned and invested on a discretionary basis by an entity for purposes of establishing whether such entity is a Qualified Institutional Buyer:


 


   (a)          the following instruments and interests shall be excluded:  securities of issuers that are affiliated with such entity; securities that are part of an unsold allotment to or subscription by such entity, if such entity is a dealer; securities of issuers that are part of such entity’s “family of investment companies”, if such entity is a registered investment company; bank deposit notes and certificates of deposit; loan participations; repurchase agreements; securities owned but subject to a repurchase agreement; and currency, interest rate and commodity swaps;


 


   (b)          the aggregate value of the securities shall be the cost of such securities, except where the entity reports its securities holdings in its financial statements on the basis of their market value, and no current information with respect to the cost of those securities has been published, in which case the securities may be valued at market;


 


   (c)          securities owned by subsidiaries of the entity that are consolidated with the entity in its financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles may be included if the investments of such subsidiaries are managed under the direction of the entity, except that, unless the entity is a reporting company under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, securities owned by such subsidiaries may not be included if the entity itself is a majority-owned subsidiary that would be included in the consolidated financial statements of another enterprise.


 


5.          The Transferor or a person acting on its behalf has taken reasonable steps to ensure that the Transferee is aware that the Transferor is relying on the exemption from the provisions of Section 5 of the Securities Act provided by Rule 144A.


 


6.          The Transferor or a person acting on its behalf has furnished, or caused to be furnished, to the Transferee all information regarding (a) the parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (b) the Transferred Certificates and distributions thereon, (c) the nature, performance and servicing of the Mortgage Loans, (d) the Trust and Trust Fund, (e) the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements and (f) all related matters, that the Transferee has requested.

For purposes of determining the aggregate value of securities owned and/or invested on a discretionary basis by any Person, the Transferee used the cost of such securities to such Person, unless such Person reports its securities holdings in its financial statements on the basis of their market value, and no current information with respect to the cost of those securities has been published, in which case the securities were valued at market.  Further, in determining such aggregate amount, the Transferee may have included securities owned by subsidiaries of such Person, but only if such subsidiaries are consolidated with such Person in its financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and if the investments of such subsidiaries are managed under such Person’s direction.  However, such securities were not included if such Person is a majority-owned, consolidated subsidiary of another enterprise and such Person is not itself a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.


 


5.           The Transferee is familiar with Rule 144A and understands that the Transferor and other parties related to the Transferred Certificates are relying and will continue to rely on the statements made herein because one or more Transfers to the Transferee may be in reliance on Rule 144A.


 



	 	___	___ 	Will the Transferee be acquiring interests in the Transferred Certificates only for the Transferee’s own account?
	 	Yes 	No	 





 


6.           If the answer to the foregoing question is “no”, then in each case where the Transferee is acquiring any interest in a Transferred Certificate for an account other than its own, such account belongs to a third party that is itself a “qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A, and the “qualified institutional buyer” status of such third party has been established by the Transferee through one or more of the appropriate methods contemplated by Rule 144A.


 


7.           The Transferee will notify each of the parties to which this certification is made of any changes in the information and conclusions herein.  Until such notice is given, the Transferee’s acquisition of any interest in the Transferred Certificates will constitute a reaffirmation of this certification as of the date of such acquisition.  In addition, if the Transferee is a bank or savings and loan as provided above, the Transferee agrees that it will furnish to such parties any updated annual financial statements that become available on or before the date of such acquisition, promptly after they become available.

The undersigned hereby certifies as follows to [name of Transferor] (the “Transferor”) and [name of Certificate Registrar], as Certificate Registrar, with respect to the mortgage pass-through certificate being Transferred (the “Transferred Certificates”) as described in the Transferee Certificate to which this certification relates and to which this certification is an Annex:


 


1.           As indicated below, the undersigned is the chief financial officer, a person fulfilling an equivalent function, or other executive officer of the entity acquiring interests in the Transferred Certificates (the “Transferee”) or, if the Transferee is a “qualified institutional buyer” as that term is defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Rule 144A”) because the Transferee is part of a Family of Investment Companies (as defined in paragraph 3 below), is an executive officer of the investment adviser (the “Adviser”).


 


2.           The Transferee is a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A because (i) the Transferee is an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and (ii) as marked below, the Transferee alone owned and/or invested on a discretionary basis, or the Transferee’s Family of Investment Companies owned, at least $100,000,000, in securities (other than the excluded securities referred to in paragraph 4 below) as of the end of the Transferee’s most recent fiscal year.  For purposes of determining the amount of securities owned by the Transferee or the Transferee’s Family of Investment Companies, the cost of such securities was used, unless the Transferee or any member of the Transferee’s Family of Investment Companies, as the case may be, reports its securities holdings in its financial statements on the basis of their market value, and no current information with respect to the cost of those securities has been published, in which case the securities of such entity were valued at market.



	 	 	 
	 	
___

	
The Transferee owned and/or invested on a discretionary basis $____ in securities (other than the excluded securities referred to below) as of the end of the Transferee’s most recent fiscal year (such amount being calculated in accordance with Rule 144A).


	 	 	 
	 	
___

	
The Transferee is part of a Family of Investment Companies which owned in the aggregate $____ in securities (other than the excluded securities referred to below) as of the end of the Transferee’s most recent fiscal year (such amount being calculated in accordance with Rule 144A).







 


3.           The term “Family of Investment Companies” as used herein means two or more registered investment companies (or series thereof) that have the same investment adviser or investment advisers that are affiliated (by virtue of being majority-owned 


 




  





C-2B-7











  






 


subsidiaries of the same parent or because one investment adviser is a majority-owned subsidiary of the other).


 


4.           The term “securities” as used herein does not include (i) securities of issuers that are affiliated with the Transferee or are part of the Transferee’s Family of Investment Companies, (ii) bank deposit notes and certificates of deposit, (iii) loan participations, (iv) repurchase agreements, (v) securities owned but subject to a repurchase agreement, and (vi) currency, interest rate and commodity swaps.  For purposes of determining the aggregate amount of securities owned and/or invested on a discretionary basis by the Transferee, or owned by the Transferee’s Family of Investment Companies, the securities referred to in this paragraph were excluded.


 


5.           The Transferee is familiar with Rule 144A and understands that the Transferor and other parties related to the Transferred Certificates are relying and will continue to rely on the statements made herein because one or more Transfers to the Transferee will be in reliance on Rule 144A.


 




	 	___	___	Will the Transferee be acquiring interests in the Transferred Certificates only for the Transferee’s own account?
	 	Yes	No	 





 




6.           If the answer to the foregoing question is “no”, then in each case where the Transferee is acquiring any interest in the Transferred Certificates for an account other than its own, such account belongs to a third party that is itself a “qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A, and the “qualified institutional buyer” status of such third party has been established by the Transferee through one or more of the appropriate methods contemplated by Rule 144A.


 


7.           The undersigned will notify the parties to which this certification is made of any changes in the information and conclusions herein.  Until such notice, the Transferee’s acquisition of any interest in the Transferred Certificates will constitute a reaffirmation of this certification by the undersigned as of the date of such acquisition.

This letter is delivered to you in connection with the transfer by _________________ (the “Transferor”) to _________________ (the “Transferee”) of the Transferred Certificates pursuant to Section 5.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), dated as of December 1, 2014 among RBS Commercial Funding Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, CWCapital Asset Management LLC, as Special Servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, as Tax Administrator and as Custodian, Trimont Real Estate Advisors, Inc., as Trust Advisor, and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee.  All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  The Transferor hereby certifies, represents and warrants to you as Certificate Registrar, as follows:

All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  The Transferee hereby certifies, represents and warrants to you, as the Depositor and the Master Servicer, that:

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

The Transferee will not act, nor has it authorized or will it authorize any person to act, in any manner set forth in the foregoing sentence with respect to the Excess Servicing Fee Right, any interest in the Excess Servicing Fee Right or any other similar security.

(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 recent 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.

g.

	

The Agreement executed in connection with the defeasance shall grant control of the pledged Securities Account to the Trustee and require the Securities Intermediary to make the scheduled payments on the Mortgage Loan from the proceeds of the defeasance collateral directly to the Master Servicer’s collection account in the amounts and on the dates specified in the Mortgage Loan Documents or, in a partial defeasance, the portion of such scheduled payments attributed to the allocated loan amount for the real property defeased, increased by any defeasance premium specified in the Mortgage Loan Documents (the “Scheduled Payments”).









 



	
  

	
h.

	

The Master Servicer received from the Borrower written confirmation from a firm of independent certified public accountants, who were approved by the Master Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard, stating that (i) revenues from principal and interest payments made on the defeasance collateral (without taking into account any earnings on reinvestment of such revenues) will be sufficient to timely pay each of the Scheduled Payments after the defeasance including the payment in full of the Mortgage Loan (or the allocated portion thereof in connection with a partial defeasance) on its Stated Maturity Date, (ii) the revenues received in any month from the

i.

	

The Master Servicer received opinions from counsel, who were approved by the Master Servicer in accordance with the  Servicing Standard, that (i) the agreements executed by the Borrower and/or the Defeasance Obligor in connection with the defeasance are enforceable against them in accordance with their terms except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditor’s rights generally, and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), and (ii) the Trustee will have a perfected, first priority security interest in the defeasance collateral described above.

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


 


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