This Pooling and Servicing Agreement is dated and effective as of February 1, 2020, between Morgan Stanley Capital I Inc., as Depositor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, LNR Partners, LLC, as Special Servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator and Trustee, and Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor and Asset Representations Reviewer.

 

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:

 

The Depositor intends to sell commercial mortgage pass-through certificates (collectively, the “Certificates”), to be issued hereunder in multiple classes (each, a “Class”), which in the aggregate will evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust to be created hereunder, the primary assets of which will be a pool of commercial mortgage loans.  As provided herein, the Certificate Administrator shall elect or shall cause an election to be made to treat designated portions of the Trust (exclusive of the entitlement to Excess Interest and the proceeds thereof in the Excess Interest Distribution Account) for federal income tax purposes as two separate real estate mortgage investment conduits (the “Upper-Tier REMIC“ and the “Lower-Tier REMIC”, and each a “Trust REMIC” as described herein).

 

In addition, the parties intend that the portion of the Trust Fund consisting of the Class V Specific Grantor Trust Assets shall be classified as a trust under section 301.7701-4 of the Treasury Regulations, and the holders of the Class V Certificates shall be the beneficial owners of the trust (hereafter, the “Grantor Trust”) under section 671 of the Code.  The Grantor Trust shall not be treated as part of either Trust REMIC.  The Certificate Administrator shall take all actions expressly required hereunder to ensure the continuation of such tax consequences.

 

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

 

LOWER-TIER REMIC

 

The Lower-Tier REMIC will hold the Mortgage Loans (exclusive of any entitlement to Excess Interest and the Excess Interest Distribution Account) and will issue the Class LA1, Class LASB, Class LA2, Class LA3, Class LAS, Class LB, Class LC, Class LD, Class LE, Class LF, Class LGRR and Class LHRR Uncertificated Interests (the “Lower-Tier Regular Interests”), which will evidence the “regular interests” in the Lower-Tier REMIC created hereunder.  The Lower-Tier REMIC will also issue the uncertificated Class LR Interest, which is the sole Class of “residual interests” in the Lower-Tier REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions and is represented by the Class R Certificates.

	The
Pass-Through Rate for each Class of Lower-Tier Regular Interests on any Distribution Date will be the Weighted Average Net Mortgage
Rate for such Distribution Date.

 

	(2)

	The
Class LR Interest (evidenced by the Class R Certificates) will not have a Certificate Balance or Notional Amount, will
not bear interest and will not be entitled to distributions of Prepayment Premiums or Yield Maintenance Charges.  Any Available
Funds remaining in the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account after distributing the Lower-Tier Distribution Amount will be deemed
distributed to the Class LR Interest and shall be payable to the Holders of the Class R Certificates.

 

UPPER-TIER REMIC

 

The Upper-Tier REMIC will hold the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and will issue the Class A-1, Class A-SB, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-S, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class X-F, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G-RR and Class H-RR regular interests.  Each such regular interest will be represented by, and have the same pass-through rate and balance or notional amount as, the Certificates bearing the same Class designation as set forth in the Certificates table below.

 

The Upper-Tier REMIC also will issue the uncertificated Class UR Interest, which is the sole Class of “residual interests” in the Upper-Tier REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions and is represented by the Class R Certificates.  The Class UR Interest (evidenced by the Class R Certificates) will not have a Certificate Balance or Notional Amount, will not bear interest and will not be entitled to distributions of Prepayment Premiums or Yield Maintenance Charges. 

 

The foregoing REMIC structure is intended to cause all of the cash from the Mortgage Loans to flow through to the Upper-Tier REMIC as cash flow on a REMIC regular interest, without creating any shortfall, actual or potential (other than for credit losses), to any REMIC regular interest.  To the extent that the structure is believed to diverge from such intention, the parties identifying such ambiguity shall notify the other parties hereto and the parties involved

 

    -2-

     

    
will resolve such ambiguities to accomplish the intended result and will, to the extent necessary, rectify any drafting errors or seek clarification to the structure without Certificateholder approval (but with guidance of counsel) to accomplish such intention, including, to the extent necessary, making any amendments in accordance with Section 13.01.

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

 

THE GRANTOR TRUST

 

The Class V Certificates shall represent undivided beneficial interests in the Grantor Trust consisting of the Class V Specific Grantor Trust Assets, as described herein.  The Class V Certificates will not have a Certificate Balance or Notional Amount or bear interest, and the holders of the Class V Certificates will not be entitled to any distributions of Prepayment Premiums or Yield Maintenance Charges.  As provided herein, the Certificate Administrator shall not take any actions that would cause the portion of the Trust Fund consisting of the Grantor Trust to (i) lose its classification as a trust beneficially owned by the holders of the Class V Certificates or (ii) be treated as part of any Trust REMIC.

Any such determination by the Special Servicer will be conclusive and binding upon the Master Servicer and the Trustee (but this statement will not be construed to entitle the Special  Servicer to reverse the determination of the Master Servicer or the Trustee or to prohibit the Master Servicer or the Trustee from making a determination, that a P&I Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance), provided, that the Special Servicer shall have no such obligation to make an affirmative determination that any P&I Advance is or would be recoverable and in the absence of a determination by the Special Servicer that such P&I Advance is or would be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, such decision shall remain with the Master Servicer or Trustee, as applicable. If the Special Servicer makes a determination that only a portion, and not all, of any previously made or proposed P&I Advance is a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, each of the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall have the right to make its own subsequent determination that any remaining portion of any such previously made or proposed P&I Advance is a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance.  With respect to any Non-Serviced Whole Loan, if any Non-Serviced Master Servicer or Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as applicable, in connection with a securitization of the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan determines that a principal and interest advance with respect to the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan, if made, would be nonrecoverable, such determination shall not be binding on the Master Servicer or the Trustee as it relates to any proposed P&I Advance with respect to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan.  Similarly, with respect to the related Non-Serviced

 

    -75-

     

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

 

    -76-

     

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

 

“Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance”:  Any Servicing Advance previously made or proposed to be made in respect of a Serviced Mortgage Loan, Serviced Whole Loan or REO Property which the Trustee determines in its good faith business judgment, or the Master Servicer or Special Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard, as the case may be, will not be ultimately recoverable, together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, at the Reimbursement Rate, from Late Collections or any other recovery on or in respect of such Mortgage Loan, Serviced Whole Loan or REO Property.  In making such recoverability determination, such Person will be entitled (a) to consider (among other things) (i) the obligations of the Mortgagor under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan, as applicable, as it may have been modified and (ii) the related Mortgaged Properties in their “as-is” or then-current conditions and occupancies, as modified by such party’s assumptions (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee, solely in its capacity as Trustee) regarding the possibility and effects of future adverse changes with respect to such Mortgaged Properties, (b) to estimate and consider (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee, solely in its capacity as Trustee) (among other things) future expenses, (c) to estimate and consider (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee, solely in its capacity as Trustee) (among other things) the timing of recoveries and (d) to give due regard to the existence of any Nonrecoverable Advances at the time of such consideration, the recovery of which is being deferred or delayed by the Master Servicer or the Trustee because there is insufficient principal available for such recovery, in light of the fact that related proceeds are a source of recovery not only for the Advance under consideration but also a potential source of recovery for such delayed or deferred Advance.  In addition, any Person, in considering whether a Servicing Advance is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, will be entitled to give due regard to the existence of any Nonrecoverable Advance or Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts with respect to other Mortgage Loans, the reimbursement of which, at the time of such consideration, is being deferred or delayed by the Master Servicer, in light of the fact that proceeds on the related Mortgage Loan are a source of recovery not only for the Servicing Advance under consideration, but also as a potential source of

 

    -77-

     

    
recovery of such Nonrecoverable Advance or Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts which are or may be being deferred or delayed.  In addition, any such Person may update or change its recoverability determinations at any time (but not reverse any other Person’s determination that an Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance) and, consistent with the Servicing Standard, in the case of the Master Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee (solely in its capacity as Trustee), may obtain at the expense of the Trust any reasonably required analysis, Appraisals or market value estimates or other information for making a recoverability determination.  Absent bad faith, the Master Servicer’s, Special Servicer’s or the Trustee’s determination as to the recoverability of any Servicing Advance shall be conclusive and binding on the Certificateholders.  The determination by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, that a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance has been made or that any proposed Servicing Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, or any updated or changed recoverability determination, shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered by either of the Special Servicer or Master Servicer to the other and to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Certificateholder (but only prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event and subject to the DCH Limitations) (and in the case of a Serviced Mortgage Loan that has a related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, any Other Servicer), the Operating Advisor (but only in the case of the Special Servicer) and the Depositor, or by the Trustee to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Certificate Administrator (and in the case of a Serviced Mortgage Loan that has a related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, any Other Servicer); provided, that the Special Servicer may, at its option (prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event (and subject to the DCH Limitations), in consultation with the Directing Certificateholder), make a determination in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that any Servicing Advance previously made or proposed to be made is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance and shall deliver to the Master Servicer (and with respect to a Serviced Mortgage Loan that has a related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the related Other Master Servicer (and the Other Special Servicer if specified in the related Intercreditor Agreement), and with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer (and the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer if specified in the related Intercreditor Agreement), the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor and the 17g-5 Information Provider notice of such determination.  Any such determination by the Special Servicer will be conclusive and binding upon the Master Servicer and the Trustee (but this statement will not be construed to entitle the Special  Servicer to reverse the determination of the Master Servicer or the Trustee or to prohibit the Master Servicer or the Trustee from making a determination, that a Servicing Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance), provided, however, that the Special Servicer shall have no such obligation to make an affirmative determination that any Servicing Advance is or would be recoverable and in the absence of a determination by the Special Servicer that such Servicing Advance is or would be a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, such decision shall remain with the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable.  If the Special Servicer makes a determination that only a portion, and not all, of any previously made or proposed Servicing Advance is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall each have the right to make its own subsequent determination that any remaining portion of any such previously made or proposed Servicing Advance is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance.  The Officer’s Certificate shall set forth such determination of nonrecoverability and the considerations of the Master Servicer, the Special

Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, forming the basis of such determination (which shall be accompanied by, to the extent available, related income and expense statements, rent rolls, occupancy status, property inspections and any other information used by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, to make such determination and shall include any existing Appraisal with respect to the related Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan or related Mortgaged Property).  The Special Servicer shall promptly furnish any party required to make Servicing Advances hereunder with any information in its possession regarding the Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties as such party required to make Servicing Advances may reasonably request for purposes of making recoverability determinations.  The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s determination that a Servicing Advance is or would be nonrecoverable, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the Special Servicer’s determination that a Servicing Advance is or would be nonrecoverable.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Special Servicer requests that the Master Servicer make a Servicing Advance, the Master Servicer may conclusively rely on such request as evidence that such advance is not a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance; provided, that other than for Servicing Advances to be made on an emergency or urgent basis, the Special Servicer shall not be entitled to make such a request more frequently than once per calendar month with respect to Servicing Advances (although such request may relate to more than one Servicing Advance).  In the case of a cross-collateralized Mortgage Loan (if any), such recoverability determination shall take into account the cross-collateralization of the related cross-collateralized Mortgage Loan.  The determination as to the recoverability of any servicing advance or property protection advance previously made or proposed to be made in respect of a Non-Serviced Whole Loan shall be made by the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer, Non-Serviced Special Servicer or Non-Serviced Trustee, as the case may be, pursuant to the related Non-Serviced PSA.

Neither the Trustee nor any Custodian shall in any way be liable for any failure by any Mortgage Loan Seller or the Depositor to comply with the delivery requirements of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Section 2.01(b).  If, on the Closing Date as to any Mortgage Loan, subject to the next sentence, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller is required to, but cannot, deliver (in complete and recordable form or form suitable for filing or recording, if applicable) any one of the assignments in favor of the Trustee referred to in clause (iv) or clause (vi) of the definition of “Mortgage File” solely because of the unavailability of filing or recording information as to any existing document or instrument, such Mortgage Loan Seller may provisionally satisfy the delivery requirements of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Section 2.01(b) with respect to such assignment by delivering with respect to such Mortgage Loan on the Closing Date an omnibus assignment of such Mortgage Loan substantially in the form of Exhibit H; provided that all required original assignments with respect to such Mortgage Loan (in fully complete and recordable form or form suitable for filing or recording, if applicable) are delivered to the Custodian within one hundred-eighty (180) days after the Closing Date (or within such longer period, not to exceed eighteen (18) months, which the Custodian shall consent to so long as the

 

    -127-

     

    
applicable Mortgage Loan Seller is, as certified in writing to the Trustee and the Custodian no less often than every ninety (90) days following such 180–day period after the Closing Date, attempting in good faith to obtain from the appropriate public filing office or county recorder’s office the applicable filing or recording information as to the related document or instrument); and provided, further, that in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the delivery of any such assignments shall be subject to the penultimate paragraph of the definition of “Mortgage File” herein.  As to any Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage Loan Seller or its agent is responsible for recording or filing, as applicable, any one of the assignments in favor of the Trustee referred to in clause (iv) or clause (vi) of the definition of “Mortgage File”, and such Mortgage Loan Seller may provisionally satisfy the delivery requirements of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Section 2.01(b) with respect to such assignment by delivering to the Custodian with respect to such Mortgage Loan on the Closing Date a copy of such assignment in the form sent for recording or filing or (except for recording or filing information not yet available) to be sent for recording or filing; provided that an original or copy of such assignment (with evidence of recording or filing, as applicable, indicated thereon) shall be delivered to the Custodian as contemplated by Section 2.01(c) of this Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to the delivery of a letter of credit in the manner described in clause (A) of clause (xii) of the definition of “Mortgage File”, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver the original to the Master Servicer within ten (10) Business Days following the Closing Date (which letter of credit shall be titled in the name of, or assigned to, “Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, on behalf of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, for the benefit of registered holders of Morgan Stanley Capital I Trust 2020-L4, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2020-L4”), and a copy to the Custodian or, if such original has been submitted by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller to the issuing bank to effect a reissuance, assignment or amendment of such letter of credit (changing the beneficiary thereof to the Master Servicer (in care of the Trustee, as titled above) that may be required in order for the Master Servicer to draw on such letter of credit on behalf of the Trust in accordance with the applicable terms thereof and/or of the related Mortgage Loan documents), the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall be deemed to have satisfied the delivery requirements of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Section 2.01(b) by delivering to the Custodian within ten (10) Business Days following the Closing Date with respect to any such letter(s) of credit a copy of such letter of credit, the transfer documentation and such transmittal communication to the issuing bank indicating that such document has been delivered to the issuing bank for reissuance.  If a letter of credit is not in a form that would allow the Master Servicer to draw on such letter of credit on behalf of the Trust in accordance with the applicable terms thereof and/or of the related Mortgage Loan documents, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver copies of the appropriate transfer or assignment documents to the Custodian promptly following receipt of written notification thereof.  If not otherwise paid by the related Mortgagor, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall pay any transfer fee required in order to transfer the beneficiary’s interest from such Mortgage Loan Seller to Master Servicer on behalf of the Trust as required hereunder and shall cooperate with the reasonable requests of the Master Servicer in connection with effectuating a draw under any such letter of credit prior to the date such letter of credit is reissued to the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trust.  Regardless of the manner of delivery, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall, pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, indemnify the Trust for any liabilities, charges, costs, fees or other expenses accruing from the

 

    -128-

     

    
failure of such Mortgage Loan Seller to assign all rights in and to the letter of credit hereunder including the right and power to draw on the letter of credit.

 

(c)        Except in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, and subject to the definition of “Mortgage File” in the case of a Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall, at its sole cost and expense, cause each Assignment of Mortgage, each assignment of Assignment of Leases and each assignment of each UCC Financing Statement (collectively, the “Assignments” and each, individually, an “Assignment”) relating to the Mortgage Loans conveyed by it under the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to be prepared in proper form for filing or recording, as applicable, and promptly (and in any event within one hundred twenty (120) days after the later of the Closing Date and Seller’s actual receipt of the related documents and the necessary recording and filing information) submit such Assignments for filing or recording, as the case may be, in the applicable public filing or recording office.  On the Closing Date, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller may deliver one (1) omnibus assignment for all such Mortgage Loans substantially in the form of Exhibit H hereto to the Custodian as provided in Section 2.01(b).  Each such Assignment submitted for recording shall reflect that it (or a certified copy thereof) should be returned by the public recording office to the Custodian or its designee following recording or filing (or to the related Mortgage Loan Seller or its agent who will then be responsible for delivery of the same to the Custodian or its designee).  Any such Assignment received by the Custodian shall be promptly included in the related Mortgage File and be deemed a part thereof, and any such Assignment received by the related Mortgage Loan Seller or its agent shall be required to be delivered to the Custodian to be included as part of the related Mortgage File within thirty (30) days after receipt.  If any such document or instrument is determined to be incomplete or not to meet the recording or filing requirements of the jurisdiction in which it is to be recorded or filed, or is lost by the public office or returned unrecorded or unfiled, as the case may be, because of a defect therein, on or about one hundred eighty (180) days after the Closing Date, the related Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee shall prepare, at its own expense, a substitute therefor or cure such defect, as the case may be, and thereafter the related Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee shall, at the expense of such Mortgage Loan Seller, upon receipt thereof cause the same to be duly recorded or filed, as appropriate.  If, by the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Custodian has not received confirmation of the recording or filing as the case may be, of any such Assignment, it shall so advise the related Mortgage Loan Seller who may then pursue such confirmation itself or request that the Custodian pursue such confirmation at the related Mortgage Loan Seller’s expense, and upon such a request and provision for payment of such expenses satisfactory to the Custodian, the Custodian, at the expense of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, shall cause a search of the land records of each applicable jurisdiction and of the records of the offices of the applicable Secretary of State for confirmation that the Assignment appears in such records and retain a copy of such confirmation in the related Mortgage File.  In the event that confirmation of the recording or filing of an Assignment cannot be obtained, the Custodian or the related Mortgage Loan Seller, as applicable, shall promptly inform the other and the Custodian shall provide such Mortgage Loan Seller with a copy of the Assignment and request the preparation of a new Assignment.  The related Mortgage Loan Seller shall cause (and pay the expenses for) the preparation of, and execute, replacement Assignments for any Assignments which, having been properly submitted for filing or recording to the appropriate governmental office by the Custodian, fail to appear of record and must be resubmitted.  Notwithstanding the fact that such Assignments of Mortgages, assignments of Assignments of Leases (to the extent separate from the Assignments of Mortgages) and

 

    -129-

     

    
assignments of UCC financing statements shall name the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders, as the assignee, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that for all purposes each Mortgage Loan shall be deemed to have been transferred from the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller to the Depositor, and all Mortgage Loans shall be deemed to have been transferred from the Depositor to the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(g)        With respect to the Mortgage Loans secured by the Mortgaged Properties listed on Schedule 4 hereto, which are each subject to a franchise agreement with a related comfort letter in favor of the respective Mortgage Loan Seller that requires notice to or request of the related franchisor to transfer or assign any related comfort letter to the Trustee for the benefit of the

 

    -130-

     

    
Certificateholders or otherwise have a new comfort letter (or any such new document or acknowledgement as may be contemplated under the existing comfort letter) issued in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, the related Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee shall provide any such required notice or make any such required request to the related franchisor (with a copy of such notice or request to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer) within forty-five (45) days of the Closing Date (or any shorter period if required by the applicable comfort letter), and the Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts in accordance with the Servicing Standard to acquire such replacement comfort letter, if necessary (or to acquire any such new document or acknowledgement as may be contemplated under the existing comfort letter).

 

(h)        Each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement shall provide that within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, each Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered the Diligence File for each of its Mortgage Loans to the Depositor by uploading such Diligence File to the IntraLinks Site.  Promptly upon completion of such delivery of the Diligence Files (but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the Closing Date), the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall provide to the Depositor (with a copy via e-mail to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Directing Certificateholder, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Operating Advisor) an officer’s certificate addressed to the Depositor and signed by an authorized officer of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller certifying that the electronic copies of the documents uploaded to the IntraLinks Site constitute all documents required under the definition of “Diligence File” and such Diligence Files are organized and categorized in accordance with the electronic file structure reasonably agreed to by the Depositor and Mortgage Loan Seller (the “Diligence File Certification”).

 

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

 

(j)         Within three (3) Business Days of the Closing Date, the Depositor shall deliver the Initial Schedule AL File in both XML format and Excel compatible format, the Initial Schedule AL Additional File in both XML format and Excel compatible format and the Annex A-1 to the Prospectus in EDGAR-Compatible Format to the Master Servicer at the following e-mail address: NoticeAdmin@midlandls.com.

Such funds or letter of credit, as applicable, shall be held by the Master Servicer (i) until the date on which the Custodian determines and notifies the Master Servicer that such Material Defect has been cured or the related Mortgage Loan is no longer part of the Trust Fund, at which time the Master Servicer shall return such funds (or letter of credit) to the related Mortgage Loan Seller, or (ii) until same are applied to the Purchase Price (or the Substitution Shortfall Amount, if applicable) as set forth below in this Section 2.02(d) in the event of a repurchase or substitution by the related Mortgage Loan Seller.  Notwithstanding the two immediately preceding sentences, if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer certifies to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Custodian that it has determined in the exercise of its reasonable judgment that the document with respect to which such

 

    -133-

     

    
Material Defect exists is required in connection with an imminent enforcement of the mortgagee’s rights or remedies under the related Mortgage Loan, defending any claim asserted by any Mortgagor or third party with respect to the related Mortgage Loan, establishing the validity or priority of any lien on collateral securing the related Mortgage Loan or for any immediate significant servicing obligation, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall be required to repurchase or substitute for the related Mortgage Loan in accordance with, and to the extent required by, the terms and conditions of Section 2.03(b) and Section 5 of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement; provided, that such Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be required to repurchase the Mortgage Loan for a period of ninety (90) days after receipt of a notice to repurchase (together with any applicable extension period) if it is attempting to recover the document from the applicable filing or recording office and provides an officer’s certificate setting forth what actions such Mortgage Loan Seller is pursuing in connection with such recovery.  In the event of a repurchase or substitution, upon the date of such repurchase or substitution, and in the event that the related Mortgage Loan Seller has delivered a letter of credit to the Master Servicer in accordance with this Section 2.02(d), the Master Servicer shall, to the extent necessary, draw on the letter of credit and deposit the proceeds of such draw, into the Collection Account to be applied to the Purchase Price (or the Substitution Shortfall Amount, if applicable, in which event, the amount of such funds or proceeds that exceed the Substitution Shortfall Amount shall be returned to the related Mortgage Loan Seller) in accordance with Section 2.03(b).  All such funds deposited in the Collection Account shall be invested in Permitted Investments, at the direction and for the benefit of the related Mortgage Loan Seller.  Such funds shall be treated as an “outside reserve fund” under the REMIC Provisions, which, together with any reimbursement from the Lower-Tier REMIC, is beneficially owned by the related Mortgage Loan Seller for federal income tax purposes, which Mortgage Loan Seller shall remain liable for any taxes payable on income or gain with respect thereto.

 

(e)        It is herein acknowledged that neither the Trustee nor any Custodian is under any duty or obligation (i) to determine whether any of the documents specified in clauses (iii), (x), (xi), (xii), (xiv), (xv) and (xvii) of the definition of “Mortgage File” exist or are required to be delivered by the Depositor, the Mortgage Loan Sellers or any other Person or (ii) to 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 genuine, enforceable, duly authorized, sufficient to perfect and maintain the perfection of a security interest or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face and, with respect to the documents specified in clause (viii) of the definition of the “Mortgage File”, whether the insurance is effective as of the date of the recordation, whether all endorsements or riders issued are included in the file or if the policy has not been issued whether any acceptable replacement document has been dated the date of the related Mortgage Loan funding.  Further, with respect to the UCC Financing Statements referenced in the Mortgage File, absent actual knowledge to the contrary or copies of UCC Financing Statements delivered to the Custodian as part of the Mortgage File indicating otherwise, the Custodian may assume, for the purposes of the filings and the certification to be delivered in accordance with this Section 2.02 that the related Mortgage File should include one state level UCC Financing Statement filing for each Mortgaged Property (or with respect to any Mortgage Loan that has two or more Mortgagors, for each Mortgagor, except to the extent multiple Mortgagors are named as debtors in the same UCC Financing Statement filing), or if the Custodian has received notice that a particular UCC Financing Statement was filed as a fixture filing, that the related Mortgage File should include

 

    -134-

     

    
only a local UCC Financing Statement filing for each Mortgaged Property (or with respect to any Mortgage Loan that has two or more Mortgagors, for each Mortgagor, except to the extent multiple Mortgagors are named as debtors in the same UCC Financing Statement filing).  The assignments of the UCC Financing Statements to be assigned to the Trust will be delivered on the national forms (or on such other form as may be acceptable for filing or recording in the applicable jurisdiction) and in a format suitable for filing or recording, as applicable, and will be filed or recorded in the jurisdiction(s) where such UCC Financing Statements were originally filed or recorded, as indicated in the documents provided, and in accordance with then-current laws.

 

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

 

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

 

Each 15Ga-1 Notice shall include (i) the identity of the related Mortgage Loan, (ii) the date the 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request is received by the Repurchase Request Recipient or the date any withdrawal of the 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request is received by the Repurchase Request Recipient, as applicable, (iii) if known, the basis for the 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request (as asserted in the 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request), (iv) the identity of the Person making such 15Ga-1

 

    -135-

     

    
Repurchase Request, and (v) a statement from the Repurchase Request Recipient as to whether it currently plans to pursue such 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request.

 

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

 

In the event that the Depositor, the Trustee, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Custodian receives a 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request, such party shall promptly forward or otherwise provide written notice of such 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request to the Master Servicer, if relating to a Non-Specially Serviced Loan, or to the Special Servicer, if relating to a Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property, and include the following statement in the related correspondence:  “This is a ‘15Ga-1 Repurchase Request’ under Section 2.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to the Morgan Stanley Capital I Trust 2020-L4, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2020-L4 requiring action by you as the ‘Repurchase Request Recipient’ thereunder.”  Upon receipt of such 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, such party shall be deemed to be the Repurchase Request Recipient in respect of such 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request, and such party shall comply with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.02(g) with respect to such 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request.  In no event shall the Custodian, by virtue of this provision, be required to provide any notice other than as set forth in Section 2.02 of this Agreement in connection with its review of the Mortgage File.

 

If the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Custodian receives notice or has knowledge of a withdrawal or a rejection of a 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request of which notice has been previously received or given, and such notice was not received from or copied to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, then such party shall give notice of such withdrawal or rejection to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable.  Any such notice received by the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, Operating Advisor, Asset Representations Reviewer or the Custodian shall also be provided to the Depositor and, in the case of a withdrawal notice, to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller.

 

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

The parties hereto acknowledge the obligation of each Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to Section 2 of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to deliver, on or prior to the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Closing Date, at its expense, to the Custodian five (5) limited powers of attorney substantially in the form attached as Exhibit 4 thereto in favor of the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee), the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to empower the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee) and, in the event of the failure or incapacity of the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, to sign and/or submit, or to cause the Custodian to sign and/or submit for recording, at the expense of Seller, any mortgage loan documents required to be recorded as described in Section 2.01 of this Agreement and any intervening assignments with evidence of recording thereon that are required to be included in the Mortgage Files (so long as original counterparts have previously been delivered to the Trustee (or the Custodian on its behalf)).  Each Mortgage Loan Seller has agreed to reasonably cooperate with the Custodian, the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer in connection with any additional powers of attorney or revisions thereto that are requested by such parties for purposes of such recordation.  The parties hereto agree that no such power of attorney shall be used with respect to any Mortgage Loan by or under authorization by any party hereto except to the extent that the absence of a document described in the second preceding sentence with respect to such Mortgage Loan remains unremedied as of the earlier of (i) the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days following the delivery of notice of such absence to the Mortgage Loan Seller, but in no event earlier than eighteen (18) months from the Closing Date, and (ii) the date (if any) on which such Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan.  The Custodian, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall submit such documents for recording, at the related Mortgage Loan Seller’s expense, after the periods set forth above, provided, the Custodian, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall not submit such assignments for recording if the related Mortgage Loan Seller produces evidence that it or a third-party on its behalf has sent any such assignment for recording and certifies that such Mortgage Loan Seller is awaiting its return from the applicable recording office.

(regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law);

 

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

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

 

(b)        After receipt of a Repurchase Request, the Enforcing Servicer shall request in writing that the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller cure the Material Defect on or before the end of the Initial Cure Period or, if applicable, the Extended Cure Period or repurchase the Mortgage Loan within such period in the event the Material Defect cannot be cured or is not cured.  The Mortgage Loan Seller is obligated under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, (i) in the case of a Material Defect other than a Qualified Mortgage Material Defect, not later than ninety (90) days after the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s receipt of notice of such Material Defect from any party to this Agreement or (ii) in the case of a Qualified Mortgage Material Defect, not later than eighty-five (85) days after the earlier of (x) the discovery by the related Mortgage Loan Seller or any party to this Agreement of such Material Defect and (y) receipt of notice of such Material Defect from any party to this Agreement (such ninety (90) or eighty-five (85) day period, as applicable, the “Initial Cure Period”), (A) cure such Material Defect in all material respects, at such Mortgage Loan Seller’s own expense, including reimbursement of any related reasonable additional expenses of the Trust reasonably incurred by any party to this Agreement, (B) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or successor REO Loan (or, in the case of any Joint Mortgage Loan, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller Percentage Interest thereof) at the applicable Purchase Price and in conformity with the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Agreement or (C) substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for such affected Mortgage Loan or successor REO Loan (or, in the case of a Joint Mortgage Loan, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller Percentage Interest thereof) (provided that (x) such affected Mortgage Loan or successor REO Loan was not itself a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan and (y) in no event shall any such substitution occur on or after the second (2nd) anniversary of the Closing Date) and pay

 

    -138-

     

    
the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account, any Substitution Shortfall Amount in connection therewith and in conformity with the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Agreement; provided, that except with respect to a Material Defect resulting solely from the failure by the Mortgage Loan Seller to deliver to the Trustee or Custodian the actual policy of lender’s title insurance required pursuant to clause (viii) of the definition of Mortgage File by a date not later than eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date, and except with respect to a Qualified Mortgage Material Defect, if such Material Defect is capable of being cured but is not cured within the Initial Cure Period, and the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller has commenced and is diligently proceeding with the cure of such Material Defect within the Initial Cure Period, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall have an additional ninety (90) days commencing immediately upon the expiration of the Initial Cure Period (such additional ninety (90) day period, the “Extended Cure Period”) to complete such cure (or, failing such cure, to repurchase the related Mortgage Loan or successor REO Loan (or, in the case of a Joint Mortgage Loan, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller Percentage Interest thereof) or substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan) and provided, further, that with respect to such Extended Cure Period the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller is required to deliver a copy of an officer’s certificate to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator (who shall promptly deliver a copy of such officer’s certificate to the 17g-5 Information Provider), the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and (prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event) the Directing Certificateholder, setting forth the reason such Material Defect is not capable of being cured within the Initial Cure Period and what actions the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller is pursuing in connection with the cure thereof and stating that the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller anticipates that such Material Defect will be cured within the Extended Cure Period; provided, further, that, if any such Material Defect is not cured after the Initial Cure Period and any such Extended Cure Period solely due to the failure of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller to have received the recorded document, then such Mortgage Loan Seller shall be entitled to continue to defer its cure, repurchase and/or substitution obligations in respect of such Material Defect so long as such Mortgage Loan Seller certifies to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator no less frequently than every thirty (30) days thereafter that the Material Defect is still in effect solely because of its failure to have received the recorded document and that the Mortgage Loan Seller is diligently pursuing the cure of such Material Defect (specifying the actions being taken).  If the affected Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased, funds in the amount of the Purchase Price remitted by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, together with the portion of the Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fees attributable to the Asset Review with respect to such Mortgage Loan (or, in the case of a Joint Mortgage Loan, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller Percentage Interest thereof), shall be remitted by such Mortgage Loan Seller by wire transfer to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account.  In the event the Special Servicer is required to enforce the Repurchase Request related to a Non-Specially Serviced Loan under this Section 2.03(b), within five (5) days of request by the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer shall deliver a copy of the Servicing File with respect to any such Non-Specially Serviced Loan.

 

If a Mortgage Loan Seller, in connection with a Material Defect (or an allegation of a Material Defect) pertaining to a Mortgage Loan, agrees to a cash payment pursuant to an agreement or a settlement between the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller and the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust (and, prior to the occurrence of a Control Termination Event and subject to the DCH Limitations, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder) (each such payment, a “Loss of Value Payment”) with respect to such Mortgage Loan, the amount of such Loss of Value

 

    -139-

     

    
Payment shall be remitted by wire transfer to the Special Servicer for deposit into the Loss of Value Reserve Fund to be applied in accordance with Section 3.05(g) of this Agreement.  In connection with any Loss of Value Payment with respect to any Non-Specially Serviced Loan, the Master Servicer shall promptly provide the Special Servicer, but in any event within the time frames and in the manner provided in Section 3.19 (as if such Mortgage Loan were subject to a Servicing Transfer Event), with the Servicing File and all information, documents and records relating to such Non-Specially Serviced Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan, either in the Master Servicer’s possession or otherwise reasonably available to the Master Servicer, and reasonably required by the Special Servicer to permit the Special Servicer to calculate the Loss of Value Payment, to the extent set forth in Section 3.19 (as if such Mortgage Loan were subject to a Servicing Transfer Event).  The Loss of Value Payment shall include the portion of any Liquidation Fees payable to the Special Servicer in respect of such Loss of Value Payment and the portion of fees of the Asset Representations Reviewer attributable to the Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan.  If such Loss of Value Payment is made, the Loss of Value Payment shall serve as the sole remedy available to the Certificateholders and the Trust regarding the related Material Defect in lieu of any obligation of the Mortgage Loan Seller to otherwise cure such Material Defect or repurchase or substitute for the affected Mortgage Loan based on such Material Defect under any circumstances.  This paragraph is intended to apply only to a mutual agreement or settlement between the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller and the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust, provided that (i) prior to any such agreement or settlement nothing in this paragraph shall preclude the Mortgage Loan Seller or the Special Servicer, as applicable, from exercising any of its rights related to a Material Defect in the manner and timing set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or this Section 2.03 (excluding this paragraph) (including any right to cure, repurchase or substitute for such Mortgage Loan), (ii) such Loss of Value Payment shall not be greater than the Purchase Price of the affected Mortgage Loan; and (iii) a Qualified Mortgage Material Defect may not be cured by a Loss of Value Payment.

 

If any Breach that constitutes a Material Defect pertains to a representation or warranty that the related Mortgage Loan documents or any particular Mortgage Loan document requires the related Mortgagor to bear the costs and expenses associated with any particular action or matter under such Mortgage Loan document(s), then the related Mortgage Loan Seller may cure such Breach within the applicable cure period (as the same may be extended) by reimbursing the Trust (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) for (i) the reasonable amount of any such costs and expenses incurred by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Trust that are incurred as a result of such Breach and have not been reimbursed by the related Mortgagor and (ii) the amount of any fees payable pursuant to Section 12.02(b) to the extent not previously paid by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Asset Representations Reviewer attributable to the Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan; provided, that if the Breach relates to a Joint Mortgage Loan, each Mortgage Loan Seller shall be responsible for its Mortgage Loan Seller Percentage Interest of all such costs and expenses unless such Breach relates solely to the Mortgage Note contributed by such Mortgage Loan Seller. Subject to the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence, upon such remittance, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall be deemed to have cured such Breach in all respects.  To the extent any fees or expenses that are the subject of a cure by the related Mortgage Loan Seller are subsequently obtained from the related Mortgagor, the portion of the cure payment made by the related Mortgage Loan Seller equal to such fees or expenses obtained from the related Mortgagor shall promptly be returned to the related Mortgage Loan Seller.  Periodic Payments due with respect to a Qualified Substitute

 

    -140-

     

    
Mortgage Loan after the related Due Date in the month of substitution, and Periodic Payments due with respect to the corresponding replaced Mortgage Loan (a “Deleted Mortgage Loan”) on or prior to the related Due Date in the month of substitution (but after the related Cut-off date), shall be part of the Trust Fund.  Periodic Payments due with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan on or prior to the Due Date in the month of substitution, and Periodic Payments due with respect to the related Deleted Mortgage Loan after the related Due Date in the month of substitution, shall not be part of the Trust Fund and are to be remitted by the Master Servicer to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller effecting the related repurchase or substitution promptly following receipt. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Mortgage Loan is not secured by a Mortgaged Property that is, in whole or in part, a hotel, restaurant (operated by a borrower), healthcare facility, nursing home, assisted living facility, self-storage facility, theater or fitness center (operated by a borrower), then the failure to deliver copies of the UCC Financing Statements with respect to such Mortgage Loan shall not be a Material Defect.

 

Pursuant to each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, if there is a Material Defect with respect to one or more Mortgaged Properties securing a Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be obligated to repurchase the Mortgage Loan (or, in the case of a Joint Mortgage Loan, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller Percentage Interest thereof) if (i) the affected Mortgaged Property may be released pursuant to the terms of any partial release provisions in the related Mortgage Loan documents (and such Mortgaged Property is, in fact, released), (ii) the remaining Mortgaged Property(ies) satisfy the requirements, if any, set forth in the Mortgage Loan documents and the related Mortgage Loan Seller provides an opinion of counsel to the effect that such release would not cause an Adverse REMIC Event and (iii) each applicable Rating Agency has provided a Rating Agency Confirmation.

 

Upon any substitution of a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan related to the repurchase or substitution of the affected Mortgage Loan pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan will become part of the Trust Fund and be subject to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in all respects.

 

The repurchase or substitution of any Mortgage Loan pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement will be on a whole-loan, servicing released basis.

 

(c)        Subject to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s right to cure as contemplated above in this Section 2.03, and further subject to Section 2.01(b) and Section 2.01(c), any of the following Defects shall be deemed to constitute a “Material Defect” to the extent the absence of the related document results from the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s failure to deliver such document:  (a) the absence from the Mortgage File of the original signed Mortgage Note, unless the Mortgage File contains a signed lost note affidavit and indemnity with a copy of the Mortgage Note that appears to be regular on its face; (b) the absence from the Mortgage File of the original signed Mortgage (or, with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, a copy thereof) that appears to be regular on its face, unless there is included in the Mortgage File either a copy of the Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon or a copy of the Mortgage and a certificate from the related Mortgage Loan Seller stating that the original signed Mortgage was sent for recordation; (c) the absence from the Mortgage File of the item called for by clause (viii) of the definition of Mortgage File; (d) the absence from the Mortgage File of any required letter of credit; or (e) the absence from the related Mortgage File of a copy (or an original, if available)

 

    -141-

     

    
of the related Ground Lease, if the Mortgage Loan is secured solely by the related Ground Lease.  No Defect relating to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan previously described in subclauses (b) through (e) of this Section 2.03(c) shall be considered to materially and adversely affect the value of such Mortgage Loan, the value of the related Mortgaged Property or the interests of the Certificateholders unless the related Mortgage Loan Seller, after receipt of notice of such Defect, is unable to produce a copy of the document with respect to which the Defect exists within a reasonable period after receiving such notice or otherwise establish that the original or copy, as applicable, of such document has been delivered, in compliance with the terms of the related Non-Serviced PSA, to the custodian under the related Non-Serviced PSA.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the delivery of executed escrow instructions or a binding commitment to issue a lender’s title insurance policy, as provided in clause (viii) of the definition of Mortgage File herein, in lieu of the delivery of the actual policy of lender’s title insurance, shall not be considered a Material Defect with respect to any Mortgage File if such actual policy is delivered to the Custodian not later than eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a Mortgage Loan Seller has otherwise complied with its document delivery requirements under this Agreement and the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, in the event that the Custodian has acknowledged receipt pursuant to Section 2.02 above of a document that is part of the Mortgage File or a Mortgage Loan Seller can otherwise prove delivery of the document, and the Custodian subsequently loses a document, the fact that such document is lost may not be utilized as the basis for a claim of a Material Defect against a Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to Section 5(a) of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and/or this Section 2.03 and the Custodian shall be liable for any such loss to the extent provided for in Section 8.01 hereof.  This Section 2.03(c) shall have no impact on any determination as to whether a Breach with respect to any Mortgage Loan constitutes a Material Defect.

 

(d)       In connection with any repurchase of, or substitution of a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for a Mortgage Loan contemplated by this Section 2.03, upon (i) deposit of the full amount of the Purchase Price or Substitution Shortfall Amount (as the case may be) for such Mortgage Loan in the account designated therefor by the Certificate Administrator on behalf of the Trustee as the assignee of Depositor (or the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee), (ii) if applicable, receipt by the Trustee as the assignee of Depositor (or the Custodian) of the Mortgage File for any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan 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 related Mortgage Loan Seller, and (iii) delivery by the related Mortgage Loan Seller to each of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer of a receipt executed by the related Mortgage Loan Seller evidencing such repurchase or substitution, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall be entitled to (x) a release of the Mortgage File and any other items previously required to be delivered by the related Mortgage Loan Seller under Sections 2.01(b) and (c) for the repurchased or replaced Mortgage Loan to the related Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee, (y) the execution and delivery of such instruments of release, transfer and/or assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be prepared by the related Mortgage Loan Seller and are reasonably necessary to vest in the related Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee the legal and beneficial ownership of such repurchased or replaced Mortgage Loan (including property acquired in respect thereof and proceeds of any insurance policy with respect thereto) and the related Mortgage Loan documents, any portion of the related Servicing File and any Escrow Payments, reserve funds and any other items previously required to be delivered by the related Mortgage Loan Seller under Sections 2.01(b) and (c), held by or on behalf

 

    -142-

     

    
of the Custodian, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, with respect to the repurchased or replaced Mortgage Loan, in each case at the expense of the related Mortgage Loan Seller, and (z) the execution and delivery of notice to the affected Mortgagor of such transfer of such repurchased or replaced Mortgage Loan.

 

(e)        Section 5 of each of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements provides the sole remedy available to the Certificateholders (subject to the limitations on the rights of the Certificateholders under this Agreement), or the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, with respect to any Material Defect.

 

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

 

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

 

    -143-

     

    
Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Certificateholders pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; provided, further, that the Special Servicer may waive the collection of amounts due on behalf of such Mortgage Loan Seller in its sole discretion in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

 

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

 

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

 

(j)         With respect to any Crossed Underlying Loan, to the extent that the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller is required to repurchase or substitute for such Crossed Underlying Loan in the manner prescribed in Section 2.03(h) or (i) while the Trustee continues to hold any other Crossed Underlying Loans in the related Crossed Mortgage Loan Group, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller and the Master Servicer or, with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, as assignee of the Depositor, will, as set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, forbear from enforcing any remedies against the other’s Primary Collateral but each will be permitted to exercise remedies against the Primary Collateral securing its respective related Mortgage Loans, including with respect to the Trustee,

 

    -144-

     

    
the Primary Collateral securing the Mortgage Loans still held by the Trustee, so long as such exercise does not materially impair the ability of the other party to exercise its remedies against its Primary Collateral.  If the exercise of the remedies by one party would materially impair the ability of the other party to exercise its remedies with respect to the Primary Collateral securing the Crossed Underlying Loans held by such party, then both parties have agreed in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to forbear from exercising such remedies until the Mortgage Loan documents evidencing and securing the relevant Mortgage Loan can be modified in a manner that complies with the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to remove the threat of material impairment as a result of the exercise of remedies.

 

(k)        (i)  In the event an Initial Requesting Certificateholder delivers a written request to a party to this Agreement that a Mortgage Loan be repurchased by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller alleging the existence of a Material Defect with respect to such Mortgage Loan and setting forth the basis for such allegation (a “Certificateholder Repurchase Request”), such party shall promptly forward that Certificateholder Repurchase Request to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, and the Enforcing Servicer shall promptly forward the Certificateholder Repurchase Request to the related Mortgage Loan Seller and each other party to this Agreement.  Subject to Section 2.03(l), the Enforcing Servicer shall be the Enforcing Party with respect to a Certificateholder Repurchase Request.

 

(ii)   In the event that the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor (solely in its capacity as operating advisor) or the Directing Certificateholder identifies a Material Defect with respect to a Mortgage Loan (without implying any duty of such person to make, or to attempt to make, such a discovery), that party shall deliver prompt written notice of such Material Defect to each other party to this Agreement and the related Mortgage Loan Seller identifying the applicable Mortgage Loan and setting forth the basis for such allegation (a “PSA Party Repurchase Request” and each of a Certificateholder Repurchase Request or a PSA Party Repurchase Request, the “Repurchase Request”).  The Enforcing Servicer shall act as the Enforcing Party and enforce the rights of the Trust against the related Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to a PSA Party Repurchase Request. 

 

(iii)  In the event the Repurchase Request is not Resolved within 180 days after the Mortgage Loan Seller receives the Repurchase Request (a “Resolution Failure”), then the provisions described in Section 2.03(l) below shall apply.  Receipt of the Repurchase Request shall be deemed to occur two (2) Business Days after the Repurchase Request is sent to the related Mortgage Loan Seller.  A Resolved Repurchase Request shall not preclude the Special Servicer from exercising any of its rights related to a Material Defect in the manner and timing otherwise set forth in this Agreement, in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or as provided by law.

 

(l)         (i)  After a Resolution Failure occurs with respect to a Repurchase Request regarding a Mortgage Loan (whether the Repurchase Request was initiated by an Initial Requesting Certificateholder or by a party to this Agreement), the Enforcing Servicer shall send a notice (a “Proposed Course of Action Notice”) to the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, to the address specified in the Initial Requesting Certificateholder’s Repurchase Request, and to the Certificate Administrator (which shall be delivered via electronic mail to

 

    -145-

     

    
trustadministrationgroup@wellsfargo.com) who shall make such notice available to all other Certificateholders and Certificate Owners by posting such notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website indicating the Enforcing Servicer’s intended course of action with respect to the Repurchase Request (the “Proposed Course of Action”).  Such notice shall include (a) a request to Certificateholders to indicate to the Enforcing Servicer their agreement with or dissent from such Proposed Course of Action and (b) a statement that in the event any Requesting Certificateholder disagrees with the Proposed Course of Action, the Enforcing Servicer (if it is the Enforcing Party) will be compelled to follow the course of action agreed to and/or proposed by the majority of Requesting Certificateholders as provided below. If (a) the Enforcing Servicer’s intended course of action with respect to the Repurchase Request does not involve pursuing further action to exercise rights against the related Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to the Repurchase Request and the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, or any other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner wishes to exercise its right to refer the matter to mediation (including nonbinding arbitration) or arbitration, or (b) the Enforcing Servicer’s intended course of action is to pursue further action to exercise rights against the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to the Repurchase Request but the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, or any other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner does not agree with the dispute resolution method selected by the Enforcing Servicer, then the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, or such other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner may deliver to the Enforcing Servicer a written notice (a “Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice”) within 30 days from the date the Proposed Course of Action Notice is posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website (the “Dispute Resolution Cut-off Date”) indicating its intent to exercise its right to refer the matter to either mediation or arbitration.  In the event any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner delivers a Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice, and the Enforcing Servicer has also received responses from other Certificateholders or Certificate Owners supporting the Enforcing Servicer’s initial Proposed Course of Action, such responses will be considered Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notices supporting the Proposed Course of Action for purposes of determining the course of action approved by the Requesting Certificateholders entitled to a majority of the Voting Rights to which all of the Requesting Certificateholders are entitled.

 

(ii)        If neither the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, nor any other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner delivers a Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice prior to the Dispute Resolution Cut-off Date, no Certificateholder or Certificate Owner shall have the right to refer the Repurchase Request to mediation or arbitration, and the Enforcing Servicer, as the Enforcing Party, shall be the sole party entitled to determine a course of action, including, but not limited to, enforcing the Trust’s rights against the related Mortgage Loan Seller, subject to any consent or consultation rights of the Directing Certificateholder pursuant to Section 6.08.

 

(iii)      Promptly and in any event within ten (10) Business Days following receipt of a Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice from (a) the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, or (b) any other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner (each of clauses (a) and (b), a “Requesting Certificateholder”), the Enforcing Servicer shall consult with each Requesting Certificateholder regarding such Requesting Certificateholder’s intention to elect either mediation (including nonbinding arbitration) or arbitration as the dispute resolution method with respect to the Repurchase Request (the “Dispute Resolution Consultation”) so that such Requesting Certificateholder may consider the views of the

 

    -146-

     

    
Enforcing Servicer as to the claims underlying the Repurchase Request and possible dispute resolution methods, such discussions to occur and be completed no later than ten (10) Business Days following the Dispute Resolution Cut-off Date.  The Enforcing Servicer shall be entitled to establish procedures the Enforcing Servicer deems in good faith to be appropriate relating to the timing and extent of such consultations.  No later than five (5) Business Days after completion of the Dispute Resolution Consultation, a Requesting Certificateholder may provide a final notice to the Enforcing Servicer indicating its decision to exercise its right to refer the matter to either mediation or arbitration (“Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice”). 

 

(iv)       If, following the Dispute Resolution Consultation, no Requesting Certificateholder timely delivers a Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice to the Enforcing Servicer, then the Enforcing Servicer will continue to act as the Enforcing Party and will remain obligated under this Agreement to determine a course of action including, but not limited to, enforcing the rights of the Trust with respect to the Repurchase Request and no Certificateholder or Certificate Owner shall have any further right to elect to refer the matter to mediation or arbitration.

 

(v)        If a Requesting Certificateholder timely delivers a Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice to the Enforcing Servicer, then such Requesting Certificateholder shall become the Enforcing Party and must promptly submit the matter to mediation (including nonbinding arbitration) or arbitration.  If multiple Requesting Certificateholders timely deliver a Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice, then such Requesting Certificateholders shall collectively become the Enforcing Party, and the holder or holders of a majority of the Voting Rights among such Requesting Certificateholders shall be entitled to make all decisions relating to such mediation or arbitration (including whether to refer the matter to mediation (including non-binding arbitration) or arbitration).  If, however, no Requesting Certificateholder commences arbitration or mediation pursuant to the terms of this Agreement within thirty (30) days after delivery of its Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice to the Enforcing Servicer, then (i) the rights of a Requesting Certificateholder to act as the Enforcing Party shall terminate and no Certificateholder or Certificate Owner shall have any further right to elect to refer the matter to mediation or arbitration, (ii) if the Proposed Course of Action Notice indicated that the Enforcing Servicer shall take no further action with respect to the Repurchase Request, then the related Material Defect shall be deemed waived for all purposes under this Agreement and the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement; provided, that such Material Defect shall not be deemed waived with respect to a Requesting Certificateholder, any other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner or the Enforcing Servicer to the extent there is a material change in the facts and circumstances known to such party at the time when the Proposed Course of Action Notice is delivered to the Enforcing Servicer, and (iii) if the Proposed Course of Action Notice had indicated a course of action other than the course of action under clause (ii), then the Enforcing Servicer shall again become the Enforcing Party and, as such, shall be the sole party entitled to enforce the Trust’s rights against the related Mortgage Loan Seller.

 

(vi)       Notwithstanding the foregoing, the dispute resolution provisions described above under this Section 2.03(l) shall not apply, and the Enforcing Servicer shall remain

 

    -147-

     

    
the Enforcing Party, if the Enforcing Servicer has commenced litigation with respect to the Repurchase Request, or determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that it is in the best interest of Certificateholders to commence litigation with respect to the Repurchase Request to avoid the running of any applicable statute of limitations.

 

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

 

(viii)     Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, none of the Depositor, any Mortgage Loan Seller nor any of their respective Affiliates (other than any Controlling Class Certificateholder and any Holder of the VRR Interest (or any portion thereof)) shall be entitled to be an Initial Requesting Certificateholder or a Requesting Certificateholder.

 

(ix)       Subject to the other provisions of this Section 2.03, the Requesting Certificateholder is entitled to elect either mediation or arbitration in its sole discretion; however, the Requesting Certificateholder shall not be entitled to then utilize the alternative method in the event that the initial method is unsuccessful.

 

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

 

(i)         The mediation shall be administered by a nationally recognized mediation services provider selected by the related Mortgage Loan Seller which such selection shall be made within 30 days of receipt of written notice of the Enforcing Party’s selection of such nationally recognized mediation services provider (such provider, the “Mediation Services Provider”) in accordance with published mediation procedures (the “Mediation Rules”) promulgated by the Mediation Services Provider.

 

(ii)        The mediator shall be impartial, an attorney admitted to practice in the state of New York and have at least fifteen (15) years of experience in commercial litigation, and if possible, commercial real estate finance or commercial mortgage-backed securitization matters and who will be appointed from a list of neutrals maintained by the Mediation Services Provider.  Upon being supplied a list of at least ten potential qualified mediators by the Mediation Services Provider each party will have the right to exercise two peremptory challenges within fourteen (14) days and to rank the remaining potential mediators in order of preference.  The Mediation Services Provider shall select the mediator from the remaining attorneys on the list respecting the preference choices of the parties to the extent possible.

 

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

 

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

 

    -148-

     

    

(v)        The expenses of any mediation shall be allocated among the parties to the mediation including, if applicable, between the Enforcing Party and the Enforcing Servicer, as mutually agreed by the parties as part of the mediation.

 

(vi)        Out of pocket costs and expenses of the Special Servicer for mediation or arbitration, to the extent not agreed to be paid by the Enforcing Party or another party (in the case of mediation) or allocated to the Enforcing Party or another party (in the case of arbitration) shall be reimbursable as a Servicing Advance.

 

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

 

(i)         The
arbitration shall be administered by a nationally recognized arbitration services provider selected by the related Mortgage
Loan Seller which such selection shall be made within 30 days of receipt of written notice of the Enforcing Party’s
selection of such nationally recognized arbitration services provider (such provider, the “Arbitration
Services Provider”) in accordance with published arbitration procedures (the “Arbitration
Rules”) promulgated by the Arbitration Services Provider.

 

(ii)        The arbitrator shall be impartial, an attorney admitted to practice in the State of New York and have at least 15 years of experience in commercial litigation, and if possible, commercial real estate finance or commercial mortgage-backed securitization matters and who will be appointed from a list of neutrals maintained by the Arbitration Services Provider. Upon being supplied a list of at least ten potential arbitrators by the Arbitration Services Provider each party will have the right to exercise two peremptory challenges within 14 days and to rank the remaining potential arbitrators in order of preference. The Arbitration Services Provider will select the arbitrator from the remaining attorneys on the list respecting the preference choices of the parties to the extent possible.

 

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

 

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

 

(v)        Notwithstanding whatever other discovery may be available under the Rules, unless otherwise agreed by the parties, each party to the arbitration will be presumptively limited to the following discovery in the arbitration: (A) the parties shall reasonably and in good faith voluntarily produce to all other parties all documents upon

 

    -149-

     

    
 

which they intend to rely and all documents they reasonably and in good faith believe to be relevant to the claims or defenses asserted by any of the parties, (B) party witness depositions (excluding Rule 30b-6 witnesses), and (C) expert witness depositions, provided that the arbitrator shall have the ability to grant the parties, or either of them, additional discovery to the extent that the arbitrator determines good cause is shown that such additional discovery is reasonable and necessary.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(iii)       The details and/or existence of any Repurchase Request, any informal meetings, mediations or arbitration proceedings conducted under this Section 2.03,

 

    -150-

     

    
  

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

 

(iv)       In the event a Requesting Certificateholder is the Enforcing Party, the agreement with the arbitrator or mediator, as the case may be, shall contain an acknowledgment that the Enforcing Servicer on behalf of the Trust shall be a party to any arbitration or mediation proceedings solely for the purpose of being the beneficiary of any award in favor of the Enforcing Party; provided that the degree and extent to which the Enforcing Servicer actively prepares for and participates in such proceeding shall be determined by such Enforcing Servicer in consultation with the Directing Certificateholder (provided that a Consultation Termination Event has not occurred and is continuing) and in accordance with the Servicing Standard. All amounts recovered by the Enforcing Party shall be paid to the Trust, or the Enforcing Servicer on its behalf, and deposited in the Collection Account. The agreement with the arbitrator or mediator, as the case may be, shall provide that in the event a Requesting Certificateholder is allocated any related costs and expenses pursuant to the terms of the arbitrator’s decision or the agreement reached in mediation, neither the Trust nor the Enforcing Servicer acting on its behalf shall be responsible for any such costs and expenses allocated to the Requesting Certificateholder.

 

(v)        In the event a Requesting Certificateholder is the Enforcing Party, the Requesting Certificateholder is required to pay any expenses allocated to the Enforcing Party in the arbitration proceedings or any expenses that the Enforcing Party agrees to bear in the mediation proceedings.

 

(vi)       The Trust (or the Trustee or the Enforcing Servicer, acting on its behalf), the Depositor or any Mortgage Loan Seller shall be permitted to redact any personally identifiable customer information included in any information provided for purposes of any mediation or arbitration. Each party to the proceedings shall be required to agree to keep confidential the details related to the Repurchase Request and the dispute resolution identified in connection with such procedures; provided, that (A) the Certificateholders shall be permitted to communicate prior to the commencement of any such proceedings to the extent provided in Section 5.06, (B) to the extent that the Enforcing Servicer is required under Section 2.02 to provide any 15Ga-1 Notice in connection with such Repurchase Request, the Enforcing Servicer shall be permitted to include in such 15Ga-1 Notice the information required pursuant to Section 2.02(g) and (C) the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall be permitted to disclose information related to the Repurchase Request to the

 

    -151-

     

    
 

extent necessary to comply with its obligations under Rule 15Ga-1 or Item 1104 of Regulation AB.

 

(vii)      For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the exercise of any right of a Requesting Certificateholder to refer a Repurchase Request to mediation or arbitration or participation in such mediation or arbitration affect in any manner the ability of the Special Servicer to perform its obligations with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan (including without limitation, a liquidation, foreclosure, negotiation of a loan modification or workout, acceptance of a discounted pay off or deed in lieu, or bankruptcy or other litigation) or the exercise of any rights of a Directing Certificateholder.

 

(viii)     In the event that the method of dispute resolution selected is unsuccessful, the Requesting Certificateholder may not elect to then utilize the alternative method.

 

(ix)       Any expenses required to be borne by or allocated to the Enforcing Servicer in mediation or arbitration or related responsibilities pursuant to this Agreement shall be reimbursable as additional trust fund expenses.

 

(p)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan, the obligations of each of the applicable Mortgage Loan Sellers to repurchase or substitute with respect to a Material Defect with respect to the related Mortgage Loan shall be limited to a repurchase or substitution with respect to the Mortgage Note it sold to the Depositor in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. With respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan, any cure by either of the applicable Mortgage Loan Sellers with respect to the Mortgage Note sold by it to the Depositor in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement that also cures the Material Defect with respect to the entire related Joint Mortgage Loan shall satisfy the cure obligations of both Mortgage Loan Sellers with respect to such Joint Mortgage Loan.

ARTICLE III

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF THE TRUST FUND

 

Section 3.01     The Master Servicer to Act as Master Servicer; Special Servicer to Act as Special Servicer; Administration of the Mortgage Loans, the Serviced Companion Loans, and REO Properties. (a) Each of the Master Servicer and Special Servicer shall diligently service and administer the Serviced Mortgage Loans, any related Serviced Companion Loans and any related REO Properties for which it is responsible in accordance with applicable law, this Agreement, the Mortgage Loan documents and any related Intercreditor Agreements on behalf of the Trust and in the best interests of and for the benefit of the Certificateholders and, in the case of the Serviced Companion Loans, the Companion Holders and the Trustee (as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests), as a collective whole, taking into account the subordinate or pari passu nature of such Companion Loans, as the case may be (as determined by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, in its reasonable judgment), in accordance with applicable law, the terms of this Agreement (and, with respect to each Serviced Whole Loan or any Mortgage Loan with related mezzanine debt, the related Intercreditor Agreement) and the terms of the respective Mortgage Loans and, if applicable, the related Companion Loan, taking into account the subordinate or pari passu nature of the Companion Loan, as the case may be. With respect to each Serviced Whole Loan, in the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the related Intercreditor Agreement, the related Intercreditor Agreement shall control; provided that in no event shall the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, take any action or omit to take any action in accordance with the terms of any Intercreditor Agreement that would cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, to violate the Servicing Standard or the REMIC Provisions. To the extent consistent with the foregoing, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall service the Mortgage Loans (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and the Serviced Companion Loans in accordance with the higher of the following standards of care: (1) in the same manner in which, and with the same care, skill, prudence and diligence with which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, services and administers similar mortgage loans for other third party portfolios and (2) the same care, skill, prudence and diligence with which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, services and administers similar mortgage loans owned by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, with a view to the (A) the timely recovery of all payments of principal and interest under the Mortgage Loans or Serviced Whole Loans or (B) in the case of a Specially

 

    -153-

     

    

 

Serviced Loan or an REO Property, maximization of recovery of principal and interest on a net present value basis on such Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loan(s), and the best interests of the Trust and the Certificateholders (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders constituted a single lender) (and in the case of any Whole Loan, the best interests of the Trust, the Certificateholders and any related Companion Holder(s) (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and the holder or holders of the related Companion Loan(s) constituted a single lender), taking into account the subordinate or pari passu nature of the related Companion Loan, as the case may be), as determined by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, in its reasonable judgment, in either case giving due consideration to the customary and usual standards of practice of prudent institutional commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community mortgage loan servicers, but without regard to any conflict of interest arising from: (i) any relationship that the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or any Affiliate of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may have with any Mortgagor, any Mortgage Loan Seller, any other parties to this Agreement, any Sponsor, any originator of a Mortgage Loan or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing; (ii) the ownership of any Certificate, Companion Loan, mezzanine loan, or subordinate debt relating to a Mortgage Loan by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or any Affiliate of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable; (iii) the obligation, if any, of the Master Servicer to make Advances; (iv) the right of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, or any of its Affiliates to receive compensation for its services and reimbursement for its costs hereunder or with respect to any particular transaction; (v) the ownership, servicing or management for others of (a) a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan or a Non-Serviced Companion Loan or (b) any other mortgage loans, subordinate debt, mezzanine loans or properties not covered by this Agreement or held by the Trust by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, or any of its Affiliates; (vi) any debt that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, or any of its Affiliates, has extended to any Mortgagor or an Affiliate of any Mortgagor (including, without limitation, any mezzanine financing); (vii) any option to purchase any Mortgage Loan or a related Companion Loan that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, or any of its Affiliates, may have; and (viii) any obligation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, or any of their respective Affiliates, to repurchase or substitute for a Mortgage Loan as a Mortgage Loan Seller (if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or any of their respective Affiliates is a Mortgage Loan Seller) (the foregoing, collectively referred to as the “Servicing Standard”).

 

The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall act in accordance with the Servicing Standard with respect to any action required to be taken regarding the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans pursuant to their obligations under this Agreement.

 

Without limiting the foregoing, subject to Section 3.19, the Special Servicer shall be obligated to service and administer (i) any Serviced Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loans as to which a Servicing Transfer Event has occurred and is continuing (each, a “Specially Serviced Loan”) or as otherwise provided herein with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans in connection with any Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision and (ii) any REO Properties (other than the Non-Serviced Mortgaged Properties); provided that the Master Servicer shall continue to receive payments and make all calculations, and prepare, or cause to be prepared, all reports, required hereunder with respect to the Specially Serviced Loans, except for the reports specified herein as prepared by the Special Servicer, as if no Servicing Transfer Event had occurred and with respect to the REO Properties (and the related REO Loans) as if no REO

 

    -154-

     

    

 

Acquisition had occurred, and to render such services with respect to such Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties as are specifically provided for herein; provided, further, that the Master Servicer shall not be liable for failure to comply with such duties insofar as such failure results from a failure of the Special Servicer to provide sufficient information to the Master Servicer to comply with such duties or failure by the Special Servicer to otherwise comply with its obligations hereunder. The Master Servicer, in its capacity as Master Servicer, shall not have any responsibility for the performance by the Special Servicer, in its capacity as Special Servicer, of its duties under this Agreement. The Special Servicer, in its capacity as Special Servicer, shall not have any responsibility for the performance by the Master Servicer, in its capacity as Master Servicer, of its duties under this Agreement. Each Mortgage Loan or any related Serviced Companion Loan that becomes a Specially Serviced Loan shall continue as such until satisfaction of the conditions specified in Section 3.19(a). Without limiting the foregoing, subject to Section 3.19 and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be obligated to service and administer any Non-Specially Serviced Loan or any related Serviced Companion Loan. The Special Servicer shall make the property inspections, use its reasonable efforts to collect the financial statements, budgets, operating statements and rent rolls and forward to the Master Servicer the reports in respect of the related Mortgaged Properties with respect to Specially Serviced Loans in accordance with Section 3.12. After notification to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer may contact the Mortgagor of any Non-Specially Serviced Loan if efforts by the Master Servicer to collect required financial information have been unsuccessful or any other issues remain unresolved. Such contact shall be coordinated through and with the cooperation of the Master Servicer. 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 related Serviced Companion Loan or 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 Servicing Fees, Special Servicing Fees or the right to be reimbursed for Advances and interest accrued thereon). Any provision in this Agreement for any Advance by the Master Servicer or the Trustee is intended solely to provide liquidity for the benefit of the Certificateholders and not as credit support or otherwise to impose on any such Person the risk of loss with respect to one or more of the Mortgage Loans or any related Serviced Companion 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 in respect of a Mortgage Loan at any time after a determination of present value recovery is less than the amount reflected in such determination.

 

(b)          Subject only to the Servicing Standard and the terms of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 6.08) and of the respective Mortgage Loans, any related Serviced Companion Loans and any related Intercreditor Agreement, if applicable, and applicable law, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each shall have full power and authority, acting alone or, subject to Section 3.20, through one or more Sub-Servicers, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration for which it is responsible which it may deem necessary or desirable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, in its own name (or in the name of the Trustee and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Noteholder), is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders (and, with respect to a Serviced Companion Loan, the related Serviced Companion Noteholder) and the Trustee or any of them, with respect to each Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion

The Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans) and the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) shall provide to the Mortgagor related to such Mortgage Loans that it is servicing any reports required to be provided to them pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan documents. Subject to Section 3.10, the Trustee shall (i) on the Closing Date, furnish to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer original powers of attorney in the form of Exhibit R-1 or Exhibit R-2 attached hereto, as applicable (or such other form as mutually agreed to by the Trustee and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable) and (ii) upon request, furnish, or cause to be furnished, to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer any powers of attorney in the form of Exhibit R-1 or Exhibit R-2 attached hereto, as applicable (or such other form as mutually agreed to by the Trustee and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable) and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder; provided, that the Trustee shall not be held responsible or liable for any acts of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, or for any negligence with respect to, or misuse of, any such power of attorney by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer.

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

 

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

 

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

 

(f)         Within sixty (60) days (or such shorter time period as is required by the terms of the applicable Mortgage Loan documents) after the later of (i) the receipt thereof by the Master Servicer and (ii) the Closing Date, the Master Servicer shall notify each lessor under a Ground Lease for each Mortgage Loan identified as subject to a leasehold interest on Annex A-1 to the Prospectus, that the Trust is the leasehold mortgagee, that any notices of default under such Ground Lease and required to be delivered to the leasehold mortgagee pursuant to the terms of

 

    -157-

     

    

 

such Ground Lease shall be delivered to the Master Servicer (who shall forward such notice to the Special Servicer) and that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall service the related Mortgage Loan for the benefit of the Certificateholders.

 

With respect to letters of credit delivered in accordance with subclause (B) of clause (xii) of the definition of “Mortgage File”, (a) the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall notify, on or before the Closing Date, the bank issuing the letter of credit that the letter of credit and the proceeds thereof belong to the Trust, and to use reasonable efforts to obtain within thirty (30) days (but in any event to obtain within ninety (90) days) following the Closing Date, an acknowledgement thereof by the bank (with a copy of such acknowledgement to be sent to the Master Servicer (who shall forward a copy of such acknowledgement to the Custodian and the Trustee)) or a reissued letter of credit, (b) the Master Servicer acknowledges that any letter of credit held by it shall be held in its capacity as Master Servicer, and if the Master Servicer sells its rights to service the applicable Mortgage Loan or is terminated or otherwise resigns, the Master Servicer shall assign the applicable letter of credit to the Trust at the expense of the Master Servicer. The related Mortgage Loan Seller shall provide such reasonable cooperation as requested by the Master Servicer, including without limitation by delivering such additional assignment or amendment documents required by the issuing bank in order to reissue a letter of credit as provided above.

 

If a letter of credit is required to be drawn upon earlier than the date that the letter of credit has been revised as contemplated in the preceding paragraph, such Mortgage Loan Seller shall cooperate with the reasonable requests of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer in connection with making a draw under such letter of credit. If the Mortgage Loan documents do not require the related Mortgagor to pay any costs and expenses relating to any modifications to or assignment of the related letter of credit, then the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall pay such costs and expenses as and to the extent required under the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. If the Mortgage Loan documents require the related Mortgagor to pay any costs and expenses relating to any modifications to the related letter of credit, and such Mortgagor fails to pay such costs and expenses after the Master Servicer has exercised reasonable efforts to collect such costs and expenses from such Mortgagor, then the Master Servicer shall give the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller notice of such failure and the amount of costs and expenses, and such Mortgage Loan Seller shall pay such costs and expenses as and to the extent required under the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. The costs and expenses of any modifications to Ground Leases shall be paid by the related Mortgagor. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall have any liability for the failure of any Mortgage Loan Seller to perform its obligations under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.

 

The Master Servicer acknowledges that any letter of credit held by it shall be held in its capacity as Master Servicer, and if the Master Servicer sells its rights to service the applicable Mortgage Loan or if the Master Servicer is terminated or otherwise resigns, the Master Servicer shall assign the applicable letter of credit to the Trust at the expense of the Master Servicer. Subject to Section 6.04, the Master Servicer shall indemnify the Trust for any loss caused by the ineffectiveness of such assignment.

 

(g)        Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Master Servicer (or the Trustee, as applicable) make a Servicing Advance with respect to any

Serviced Companion Loan to the extent the related Serviced Mortgage Loan has been paid in full or is no longer included in the Trust Fund.

 

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

 

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

 

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

Servicing Advances with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan within three (3) Business Days of determining that such an Advance is necessary or being notified that such an Advance is necessary, or in the case of a Servicing Advance that needs to be made on an emergency or urgent basis, within one (1) Business Day. With respect to Servicing Advances made by any Other Servicer as contemplated in the proviso to the preceding sentence, the Master Servicer shall, from collections on the related Serviced Whole Loan (but never out of general collections on the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties) received by the Master Servicer, reimburse the Other Servicer for such Servicing Advances in the same manner and on the same level of priority as if such Servicing Advances had been made by the Master Servicer hereunder.

 

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

 

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

 

(m)       Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Master Servicer’s and the Special Servicer’s obligations and responsibilities hereunder and the Master Servicer’s and the Special Servicer’s authority with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan are limited by, and subject to, the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement. The Master Servicer (or, if a Serviced Whole Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer) shall use reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to obtain the benefits of the rights of the Trust (as holder of the related Serviced Mortgage Loan) under the related Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the related Intercreditor Agreement, the provisions of the related Intercreditor Agreement shall control.

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

 

(o)        For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee have any obligation or authority to (a) supervise any related Non-Serviced Master Servicer, Non-Serviced Special Servicer, Non-Serviced Certificate Administrator or Non-Serviced Trustee or (b) make Servicing Advances with respect to any Non-Serviced Whole Loan. The obligation of the Master Servicer to provide information and collections and make P&I Advances to the Certificate Administrator for the benefit of the Certificateholders with respect to each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is dependent on its receipt of the corresponding information and/or collections from the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer or Non-Serviced Special Servicer.

 

Section 3.02     Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments. (a) Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans (other than the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) and the Serviced Companion Loans it is obligated to service hereunder, and shall follow such collection procedures as are consistent with this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Servicing Standard); provided that with respect to each Mortgage Loan that has an Anticipated Repayment Date, so long as the related Mortgagor is in compliance with each provision of the related Mortgage Loan documents, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not take any enforcement action with respect to the failure of the related Mortgagor to make any payment of Excess Interest, other than requests for collection, until the Maturity Date of the related Mortgage Loan or until the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan (exclusive of any portion representing accrued Excess Interest) has been paid in full; provided, further, that the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, may take action to enforce the Trust’s right to apply excess cash flow to principal in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Loan documents. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may in its discretion waive any Penalty Charge in connection with any delinquent payment on a Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan that it is obligated to service hereunder three (3) times during any period of twenty-four (24) consecutive months with respect to any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan; provided that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may in its discretion waive any Penalty Charge in connection with any delinquent payment on a Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan one additional time in such 24-month period so long as with respect to any of the foregoing waivers, no Advance or additional expense of the Trust has been incurred and remains unreimbursed to the Trust with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan. Any additional waivers during such 24-month period with respect to such Mortgage Loan may be made, subject to the Servicing Standard, only after the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, has, prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, given notice of a proposed waiver to the Directing Certificateholder and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder has consented to such additional waiver

(provided that if the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, fails to receive a response to such notice from the Directing Certificateholder in writing within five (5) days of giving such notice, then the Directing Certificateholder shall be deemed to have consented to such proposed waiver); provided, further, that after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, may waive any Penalty Charge in accordance with the Servicing Standard without the consent of the Directing Certificateholder; provided, further, that the Directing Certificateholder shall have no consent rights with respect to the foregoing waivers if it is restricted by the DCH Limitations.

 

(b)        (i) All amounts collected by or on behalf of the Trust in respect of a Mortgage Loan shall be applied to amounts due and owing under the Mortgage Loan documents (including for principal and accrued and unpaid interest) in accordance with the express provisions of the Mortgage Loan documents; provided, that absent express provisions in the related Mortgage Loan documents (including any related Intercreditor Agreement) or to the extent otherwise agreed to by the related Mortgagor in connection with a workout of a Mortgage Loan, all amounts collected by or on behalf of the Trust in respect of a Mortgage Loan in the form of payments from the related Mortgagor, Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds under the Mortgage Loan (in the case of each Serviced Whole Loan, exclusive of amounts payable to any applicable Companion Loan pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement) shall be applied in the following order of priority:

provided that if a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Non-Serviced Companion Loan comprising a Non-Serviced Whole Loan becomes an REO Loan, the treatment of the foregoing amounts with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan shall be subject to the terms of the related Non-Serviced Intercreditor Agreement and Non-Serviced PSA, in that order; provided, further, that with respect to each Serviced Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Whole Loan, amounts collected with respect to such Serviced Whole Loan shall be allocated first pursuant to the terms

 

    -165-

     

    
 

of the related Intercreditor Agreement and then, any amounts allocated to the related Serviced Mortgage Loan shall be subject to application as described above.

 

(iii)       Notwithstanding subsections 3.02(b)(i) and (ii) above, such provisions shall not be deemed to affect the priority of distributions of payments pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. To the extent that such amounts are paid by a party other than a Mortgagor, such amounts shall be deemed to have been paid in respect of a purchase of all or part of the Mortgaged Property (in the case of Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds) and then paid by the Mortgagor under the Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan, as applicable, or in accordance with Section 3.02(b)(ii) above.

 

(c)        To the extent consistent with the terms of the Mortgage Loans (and, with respect to each Serviced Whole Loan, the related Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable, and the related Intercreditor Agreement) and applicable law, the Master Servicer shall apply all Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds it receives on a day other than the Due Date to amounts due and owing under the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan as if such Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds were received on the Due Date immediately succeeding the month in which Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds were received and otherwise in accordance with Section 3.02(b)(ii) above.

 

(d)        In the event that the Master Servicer or Special Servicer receives Excess Interest prior to the Determination Date for any Collection Period, or receives notice from the related Mortgagor that the Master Servicer or Special Servicer will be receiving Excess Interest prior to the Determination Date for any Collection Period, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall notify the Trustee and Certificate Administrator two (2) Business Days prior to the related Distribution Date. None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee shall be responsible for any failure of the related Mortgagor to pay any such Excess Interest or prepayment penalty. The preceding statements shall not, however, be construed to limit the provisions of Section 3.02(a).

 

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

 

Section 3.03     Collection
of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Servicing Accounts. (a) The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one
or more accounts (the “Servicing Accounts”), into which all Escrow Payments
shall be deposited and retained, and shall administer such Servicing Accounts in accordance with the Mortgage Loan documents and,
if applicable, the Companion Loan documents. Any Servicing Account related to a Serviced Whole Loan shall be held for the benefit
of the Certificateholders and the related Serviced Companion Noteholder collectively, but this shall not be construed to modify
respective interests of either noteholder therein as set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement. Amounts on deposit in

 

    -166-

     

    
 

Servicing Accounts may only be invested in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents and Companion Loan documents, or in Permitted Investments in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.06. Servicing Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts to the extent permitted by the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents. Withdrawals of amounts so deposited from a Servicing Account may be made only to: (i) effect payment of items for which Escrow Payments were collected and comparable items; (ii) reimburse the Trustee and then the Master Servicer, if applicable, for any Servicing Advances; (iii) refund to Mortgagors any sums as may be determined to be overages; (iv) pay interest to Mortgagors on balances in the Servicing Account, if required by applicable law or the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan and as described below or, if not so required, to the Master Servicer; (v) after the occurrence of an event of default under the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan, apply amounts to the indebtedness under the applicable Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan; (vi) withdraw amounts deposited in error; (vii) pay Penalty Charges to the extent permitted by the related Mortgage Loan documents; or (viii) clear and terminate the Servicing Account at the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.01. As part of its servicing duties, the Master Servicer shall pay or cause to be paid to the Mortgagors interest on funds in Servicing Accounts, to the extent required by law or the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan; provided, that in no event shall the Master Servicer be required to remit to any Mortgagor any amounts in excess of actual net investment income or funds in the related Servicing Account. If allowed by the related Mortgage Loan documents and applicable law, the Master Servicer may charge the related Mortgagor an administrative fee for maintenance of the Servicing Accounts.

 

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

 

    -167-

     

    

 

the Mortgagor to comply with its obligation to make payments in respect of such items at the time they first become due and, in any event, prior to the institution of foreclosure or similar proceedings with respect to the related Mortgaged Property for nonpayment of such items.

 

(c)        In accordance with the Servicing Standard and for each Serviced Mortgage Loan and each Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, the Master Servicer shall advance all such funds as are necessary for the purpose of effecting the payment of (i) real estate taxes, assessments and other similar items that are or may become a lien thereon, (ii) ground rents (if applicable) and (iii) premiums on Insurance Policies, in each instance if and to the extent Escrow Payments collected from the related Mortgagor (or related REO Revenues, if applicable) are insufficient to pay such item when due and the related Mortgagor has failed to pay such item on a timely basis, and provided, that the particular advance would not, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance and provided, further, that with respect to the payment of taxes and assessments, the Master Servicer shall not be required to make such advance until the later of (i) five (5) Business Days after the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as the case may be, has received confirmation that such item has not been paid and (ii) the date prior to the date after which any penalty or interest would accrue in respect of such taxes or assessments. The Special Servicer shall give the Master Servicer and the Trustee no less than five (5) Business Days’ written (facsimile or electronic) notice before the date on which the Master Servicer is requested to make any Servicing Advance with respect to a given Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property; provided, that only two (2) Business Days’ written (facsimile or electronic) notice shall be required in respect of Servicing Advances required to be made on an emergency or urgent basis; provided, further, that, other than for Servicing Advances to be made on an emergency or urgent basis, the Special Servicer shall not be entitled to make such a request more frequently than once per calendar month (although such request may relate to more than one Servicing Advance). The Master Servicer may pay the aggregate amount of such Servicing Advances listed on a monthly request to the Special Servicer, in which case the Special Servicer shall remit such Servicing Advances to the ultimate payees. The Special Servicer shall have no obligation to make any Servicing Advances; provided that in an urgent or emergency situation requiring the making of a Servicing Advance, the Special Servicer may make a Servicing Advance in its sole discretion. Within five (5) Business Days of making such a Servicing Advance, the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Master Servicer a request for reimbursement for such Servicing Advance, along with all information and documentation in the Special Servicer’s possession regarding the subject Servicing Advance as the Master Servicer may reasonably request, and the Master Servicer shall be obligated, out of the Master Servicer’s own funds, to reimburse the Special Servicer for any unreimbursed Servicing Advances (other than Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances) made by the Special Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof, together with interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate from the date made to, but not including, the date of reimbursement. Such reimbursement and any accompanying payment of interest shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Special Servicer within five (5) Business Days of the written request therefor pursuant to the preceding sentence and any information the Master Servicer reasonably requests in order to make a recoverability determination. Upon the Master Servicer’s reimbursement to the Special Servicer of any Servicing Advance and payment to the Special Servicer of interest thereon, all in accordance with this Section 3.03, the Master Servicer shall for all purposes of this Agreement be deemed to have made such Servicing Advance at the same time as the Special Servicer actually made such Servicing Advance, and accordingly, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed for

 

    -168-

     

    

 

such Servicing Advance, together with interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate, at the same time, in the same manner and to the same extent as the Master Servicer would otherwise have been entitled if it had actually made such Servicing Advance at the time the Special Servicer did. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.03(c), the Master Servicer shall not be required to reimburse the Special Servicer out of its own funds for, or to make at the direction of the Special Servicer, any Servicing Advance if the Master Servicer determines 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 instead be reimbursed to the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.05 of this Agreement.

 

Any request by the Special Servicer that the Master Servicer make a Servicing Advance shall be deemed to be a determination by the Special Servicer that such requested Servicing Advance is not a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such determination, provided that the determination shall not be binding on the Master Servicer or Trustee. On the first Business Day after the Determination Date for the related Distribution Date, the Special Servicer shall report to the Master Servicer if the Special Servicer determines any Servicing Advance previously made by the Master Servicer is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, and such a determination shall be binding upon the Master Servicer and the Trustee. If the Special Servicer makes a determination that only a portion of, and not all of, any previously made or proposed Servicing Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Master Servicer shall have the right to make its own subsequent determination that any remaining portion of any such previously made or proposed Servicing Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance. All such Advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from the Mortgagors and further as provided in Section 3.05(a). No costs incurred by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in effecting the payment of real estate taxes, assessments and, if applicable, ground rents on or in respect of the Mortgaged Properties shall, for purposes hereof, including, without limitation, the Certificate Administrator’s calculation of monthly distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid principal balances of the related Mortgage Loans, any related Serviced Companion Loan, if applicable, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loans, related Serviced Companion Loan, if applicable, so permit. If the Master Servicer fails to make any required Servicing Advance as and when due (including any applicable cure periods), to the extent the Trustee has actual knowledge of such failure, the Trustee shall make such Servicing Advance pursuant to Section 7.05. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Servicing Advance shall be required hereunder if such Servicing Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. In addition, the Master Servicer shall consider Unliquidated Advances in respect of prior Servicing Advances for purposes of nonrecoverability determinations. The Special Servicer shall have no obligation to make any Servicing Advances under this Agreement.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.03(c), the Master Servicer may in its good faith judgment elect (but shall not be required unless directed by the Special Servicer with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and REO Loans) to make a payment from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account (or any Companion Distribution Account maintained as a subaccount thereof by a Companion Paying Agent, if applicable) (which shall be deemed first made from amounts distributable as principal and then from all other amounts

 

    -169-

     

    

 

comprising general collections) to pay for certain expenses set forth below notwithstanding that the Master Servicer (or Special Servicer, as applicable) has determined that a Servicing Advance with respect to such expenditure would be a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance (unless, with respect to Specially Serviced Loans or REO Loans, the Special Servicer has notified the Master Servicer to not make such expenditure), where making such expenditure would prevent (i) the related Mortgaged Property from being uninsured or being sold at a tax sale or (ii) any event that would cause a loss of the priority of the lien of the related Mortgage, or the loss of any security for the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan; provided that in each instance, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard (as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee) that making such expenditure is in the best interest of the Certificateholders (and, if applicable, the Companion Holders), all as a collective whole (taking into account the subordinate or pari passu nature of any related Companion Loans, as the case may be). The Master Servicer or Trustee may elect to obtain reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances from the Trust pursuant to the terms of Section 3.17(c). The parties acknowledge that pursuant to the applicable Non-Serviced PSA, the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer is obligated to make servicing advances with respect to the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan. The applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan (with, in each case, any accrued and unpaid interest thereon provided for under the applicable Non-Serviced PSA) in the manner set forth in the applicable Non-Serviced PSA and the applicable Non-Serviced Intercreditor Agreement.

 

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

 

(e)        To the extent an operations and maintenance plan is required to be established and executed pursuant to the terms of a Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall request from the Mortgagor written confirmation thereof within a reasonable time after the later of the Closing Date and the date as of which plan is required to be established or completed.

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

If the Master Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from the Collection Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. Assumption, extension and modification fees actually received from Mortgagors on Specially Serviced Loans shall be promptly delivered to the Special Servicer as additional servicing compensation.

 

Upon receipt of any of the foregoing amounts in clauses (i) through (iv) above with respect to any Specially Serviced Loans, the Special Servicer shall remit within one (1) Business Day such amounts to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account, in accordance with this Section 3.04(a); provided, that to the extent any of the foregoing amounts are received after 2:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on any given Business Day, the Special Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to remit such amounts within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such amount, but, in any event, the Special Servicer shall remit such amounts to the Master Servicer within two (2) Business Days of receipt of such amount.

The amount of any losses incurred in respect of any such investments shall be for the account of the Certificate Administrator which shall deposit the amount of such loss (to the extent not offset by income from other investments) in the Distribution Accounts, as the case may be, out of its own funds immediately as realized. If the Certificate Administrator deposits in or transfers to the Distribution Accounts, as the case may be, any amount not required to be deposited therein or transferred thereto, it may at any time withdraw such amount or retransfer such amount from the Distribution Accounts, as the case may be, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

of the proposed location of the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, and, if established, the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account prior to any change thereof.

 

For the avoidance of doubt, the Collection Account (other than (i) any portion holding Excess Interest and (ii) the Companion Distribution Account, if it is a sub-account of the Collection Account), the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account, any Servicing Account, the REO Account, and the Interest Reserve Account (including interest, if any, earned on the investment of funds in such accounts) will be owned by the Lower-Tier REMIC; the Excess Interest Distribution Account (and any portion of the Collection Account holding Excess Interest) (including interest, if any, earned on the investment of funds in such accounts) will be owned by the Grantor Trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Class V Certificates; the Companion Distribution Account (including interest, if any, earned on the investment of funds in such account) will be owned by the Companion Holders; and the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account (including interest, if any, earned on the investment of funds such account) will be owned by the Upper-Tier REMIC, each for federal income tax purposes.

 

(c)        Prior to any Determination Date for the first Collection Period during which Excess Interest is received on any Mortgage Loan, and upon notification from the Master Servicer or Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.02(d), the Certificate Administrator, on behalf of the Certificateholders, shall establish and maintain the Excess Interest Distribution Account in its own name on behalf of the Trustee in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Class V Certificates. The Excess Interest Distribution Account shall be established and maintained as an Eligible Account (or as a subaccount of an Eligible Account). Prior to the applicable Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall remit to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Excess Interest Distribution Account an amount equal to the Excess Interest received prior to the Determination Date for the applicable Collection Period.

 

(d)        Following the distribution of Excess Interest to Holders of the Class V Certificates on the first Distribution Date after which there are no longer any Mortgage Loans outstanding which pursuant to their terms could pay Excess Interest, the Certificate Administrator shall terminate the Excess Interest Distribution Account.

 

(e)        The Certificate Administrator shall establish (upon notice from the Special Servicer of an event occurring that generates Gain-on-Sale Proceeds) and maintain the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account shall be maintained as an Eligible Account (or as a subaccount of an Eligible Account), separate and apart from trust funds for mortgage pass-through certificates of other series administered by the Certificate Administrator.

 

Upon the disposition of any REO Property, in accordance with Section 3.09 or Section 3.16, the Special Servicer will calculate the Gain-on-Sale Proceeds, if any, realized that are allocable to the Mortgage Loan in connection with such sale and remit such funds to the Master Servicer, which shall remit such funds to the Certificate Administrator for deposit into the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account. Any gain on such disposition that is allocable to any related Companion Loan in accordance with the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement shall be remitted to the Companion Paying Agent for deposit into the Companion Distribution Account.

(i)         If any Loss of Value Payments are received in connection with a Material Defect pursuant to or as contemplated by Section 3.05(g) of this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more non-interest bearing accounts (collectively, the “Loss of Value Reserve Fund”) to be held 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, within two (2) Business Days of receipt of properly identified and available Loss of Value Payments, deposit in the Loss of Value Reserve Fund all Loss of Value Payments received by it. The Certificate Administrator shall account for the Loss of Value Reserve Fund as an outside reserve fund within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(h) and not an asset of any Trust REMIC or the Grantor Trust. 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 paid to and distributed by the Trust REMICs 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 to such Mortgage Loan Seller as beneficial owner of the Loss of Value Reserve Fund. The applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall be the beneficial owner of the Loss of Value Reserve Fund for all federal income tax purposes, and shall be taxable on all income earned thereon.

(g)        If any Loss of Value Payments are deposited into the Loss of Value Reserve Fund with respect to any Mortgage Loan or any related Serviced 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 (5) Business Days’ prior notice of such final Distribution Date), promptly 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)         The Companion Paying Agent may, from time to time, make withdrawals from the Companion Distribution Account to make distributions pursuant to Section 4.01(k).

 

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

 

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

 

(ii)        demand payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon determination by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator

 

    -188-

     

    

 

or the Trustee, as the case may be, that such Permitted Investment would not constitute a Permitted Investment in respect of funds thereafter on deposit in the Investment Account.

 

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

 

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

 

Section 3.07     Maintenance of Insurance Policies; Errors and Omissions and Fidelity Coverage. (a) The Master Servicer (with respect to the Serviced Mortgage Loans and

 

    -189-

     

    

 

any related Serviced Companion Loan) shall use its efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the Mortgagor to maintain, and the Special Servicer (with respect to REO Properties related to Serviced Mortgage Loans) shall maintain, to the extent required by the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents, all insurance coverage as is required under the related Mortgage Loan documents except to the extent that the failure of the related Mortgagor to do so is an Acceptable Insurance Default (and except as provided in the next sentence with respect to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable). If any Mortgage Loan documents permit the holder thereof to dictate to the Mortgagor the insurance coverage to be maintained on such Mortgaged Property, the Master Servicer or, with respect to REO Property, the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall impose or maintain, as applicable, such insurance requirements as are consistent with the Servicing Standard taking into account the insurance in place at the closing of the Mortgage Loan, provided that the Master Servicer will be obligated to use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the Mortgagor to maintain (or to itself maintain) insurance against property damage resulting from terrorist or similar acts unless the Mortgagor’s failure is an Acceptable Insurance Default (as determined by the Special Servicer with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and subject to the DCH Limitations)) and only in the event the Trustee has an insurable interest therein and such insurance is available to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and, if available, can be obtained at commercially reasonable rates. The Master Servicer and Special Servicer shall be entitled to rely on insurance consultants (at the applicable servicer’s expense) in determining whether any insurance is available at commercially reasonable rates. If the Mortgagor does not so maintain such insurance coverage, subject to its recoverability determination with respect to any required Servicing Advance, the Master Servicer (with respect to the Serviced Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loan) or the Special Servicer (with respect to REO Properties related to Serviced Mortgage Loans) shall maintain all insurance coverage as is required under the related Mortgage, but only in the event the Trustee has an insurable interest therein and such insurance is available to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and, if available, can be obtained at commercially reasonable rates, as determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard. In addition, upon request of the Risk Retention Consultation Party with respect to any individual triggering event, the Special Servicer shall consult on a non-binding basis with the Risk Retention Consultation Party (only with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan that is not an Excluded RRCP Loan) within the same time period as it would obtain the consent of, or consult with, the Directing Certificateholder pursuant to Section 6.08 in connection with any such determination of an Acceptable Insurance Default (without regard to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event); provided, that prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, such Mortgage Loan must also be a Specially Serviced Loan. All Insurance Policies maintained by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall (i) contain a “standard” mortgagee clause, with loss payable to the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee (in the case of insurance maintained in respect of Mortgage Loans (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), including any related Serviced Companion Loan, other than REO Properties) or to the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trustee (in the case of insurance maintained in respect of REO Properties), (ii) be in the name of the Trustee (in the case of insurance maintained in respect of REO Properties), (iii) include coverage in an amount not less than the lesser of (x) the full replacement cost of the improvements securing Mortgaged Property or the REO Property, as applicable, and (y) the outstanding principal balance owing on the related Mortgage Loan (and any related Serviced Companion Loan) or REO Loan, as applicable, and in

 

    -190-

     

    
 

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

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the Serviced Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loan that either (x) require the Mortgagor to maintain “all risk” property insurance (and do not expressly permit an exclusion for terrorism) or (y) contain provisions generally requiring the applicable Mortgagor to maintain insurance in types and against such risks as the holder of such Mortgage Loan (including any related Serviced Companion Loan) reasonably requires from time to time in order to protect its interests, the Master Servicer shall, consistent with the Servicing Standard, (A) monitor in accordance with the Servicing Standard whether the insurance policies for the related Mortgaged Property contain Additional Exclusions; provided that the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon certificates of insurance in determining whether such policies contain Additional Exclusions, (B) request the Mortgagor to either purchase insurance against the risks specified in the Additional Exclusions or provide an explanation as to its reasons for failing to purchase such insurance and (C) notify the Special Servicer if it has knowledge that any insurance policy contains Additional Exclusions or if it has knowledge (such knowledge to be based upon the Master Servicer’s

 

    -191-

     

    

 

compliance with the immediately preceding clauses (A) and (B) above) that any Mortgagor fails to purchase the insurance requested to be purchased by the Master Servicer pursuant to clause (B) above. If the Special Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such failure is not an Acceptable Insurance Default, the Special Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer and the Master Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause such insurance to be maintained. The Special Servicer (at the expense of the Trust) shall be entitled to rely on insurance consultants in making such determinations. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to rely on insurance consultants (at the expense of such Master Servicer) in determining whether Additional Exclusions exist. Furthermore, the Special Servicer shall promptly deliver such conclusions in writing to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website for those Mortgage Loans that (i) have one of the ten (10) highest outstanding Stated Principal Balances of all of the Mortgage Loans then included in the Trust or (ii) comprise more than 5% of the outstanding Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans then included in the Trust. During the period that the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, is evaluating the availability of such insurance or waiting for a response from the Directing Certificateholder and/or upon the request of the Risk Retention Consultation Party, consulting (on a non-binding basis) with the Risk Retention Consultation Party, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be liable for any loss related to its failure to require the Mortgagor to maintain (or its failure to maintain) such insurance and will not be in default of its obligations as a result of such failure and the Master Servicer will not itself maintain such insurance or cause such insurance to be maintained.

 

(b)        (i) If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket Insurance Policy with a Qualified Insurer insuring against fire and hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans (including any related Serviced Companion Loan, but excluding any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or REO Properties (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property), as the case may be, required to be serviced and administered hereunder, then, to the extent such Insurance Policy provides protection equivalent to the individual policies otherwise required, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligation to cause fire and hazard insurance to be maintained on the related Mortgaged Properties or REO Properties. Such Insurance Policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall, if there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a fire and hazard Insurance Policy complying with the requirements of Section 3.07(a), and there shall have been one or more losses which would have been covered by such Insurance Policy, promptly deposit into the Collection Account from its own funds the amount of such loss or losses that would have been covered under the individual policy but are not covered under the blanket Insurance Policy because of such deductible clause to the extent that any such deductible exceeds the deductible limitation that pertained to the related Mortgage Loan (including any related Serviced Companion Loan), or in the absence of such deductible limitation, the deductible limitation which is consistent with the Servicing Standard. In connection with its activities as administrator and Master Servicer of the Mortgage Loans or any Serviced Companion Loans, the Master Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and Certificateholders, claims under any such blanket Insurance Policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy. The Special Servicer, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard, may maintain earthquake insurance on REO Properties (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property), provided coverage is available at commercially reasonable rates, the cost of which shall be a Servicing Advance.

 

    -192-

     

    
 

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

 

(c)        Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall obtain and maintain at its own expense and keep in full force and effect throughout the term of this Agreement a blanket fidelity bond and an “errors and omissions” Insurance Policy with a Qualified Insurer covering losses that may be sustained as a result of the Master Servicer’s and the Special Servicer’s, as applicable, officers’ and employees’ misappropriation of funds or errors or omissions in connection with its activities under the Agreement. Such amount of coverage shall be in such form and amount as are consistent with the Servicing Standard. Coverage of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer under a policy or bond obtained by an Affiliate of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer and providing the coverage required by this Section 3.07(c) shall satisfy the requirements of this Section 3.07(c). The Special Servicer and the Master Servicer shall furnish upon request to the Trustee copies of all binders and policies or certificates evidencing that such bonds, if any, and insurance policies are in full force and effect.

 

(d)        At the time the Master Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that any Mortgaged Property securing a Serviced Mortgage Loan is in a federally designated special flood hazard area (and such flood insurance has been made available), the Master Servicer will use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the related Mortgagor (in accordance with applicable law and the terms of the Mortgage Loan and related Serviced Companion Loan documents) to maintain, and, if the related Mortgagor shall default in its obligation to so maintain, shall itself maintain to the extent such insurance is available at commercially reasonable rates (as determined by the Master Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard and to the extent the Trustee, as mortgagee, has an insurable interest therein), flood insurance in respect thereof, but only to the extent the related Serviced Mortgage Loan or

 

    -193-

     

    

 

related Serviced Companion Loan permits the mortgagee to require such coverage and the maintenance of such coverage is consistent with the Servicing Standard. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan (and any related Serviced Companion Loan, if applicable), and (ii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, plus such additional excess flood coverage with respect to the Mortgaged Property, if any, in an amount consistent with the Servicing Standard. If the cost of any insurance described above is not borne by the Mortgagor, the Master Servicer shall promptly make a Servicing Advance for such costs (or pay such amounts from the Collection Account if it determines such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance).

 

(e)        During all such times as any REO Property (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) shall be located in a federally designated special flood hazard area, the Special Servicer will cause to be maintained, to the extent available at commercially reasonable rates (as determined by the Special Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard), a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration in an amount representing coverage not less than the sum of (i) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended and (ii) such additional amounts as are sufficient to provide coverage for the value of improvements related to the Mortgaged Property that are located within a federally designated special flood hazard area. The cost of any such flood insurance with respect to an REO Property shall be an expense of the Trust payable out of the related REO Account pursuant to Section 3.14(c) or, if the amount on deposit therein is insufficient therefor, paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance (or from the Collection Account if it determines such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance).

 

(f)         Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the long-term debt obligations or the deposit account or claims-paying ability of the Master Servicer (or its immediate or remote parent) or the Special Servicer (or its immediate or remote parent), as applicable, is rated at least “A-” by S&P and “A-” by Fitch, the Master Servicer (or its public parent) or the Special Servicer (or its public parent), as applicable, shall be allowed to provide self-insurance with respect to any of its obligation under this Section 3.07.

 

(g)        Each of the Operating Advisor and Asset Representations Reviewer shall obtain and maintain at its own expense and keep in full force and effect throughout the term of this Agreement an “errors and omissions” insurance policy with a Qualified Insurer covering losses that may be sustained as a result of an officer’s or employee’s errors or omissions.

 

Section 3.08     Enforcement of Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements. (a) As to each Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan that contains a provision in the nature of a “due-on-sale” clause, which by its terms:

 

(i)         provides that such Mortgage Loan and any related Companion Loan shall (or may at the mortgagee’s option) become due and payable upon the sale or other transfer of an interest in the related Mortgaged Property or equity interests in the Mortgagor or principals of the Mortgagor; or

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

 

then, for so long as such Mortgage Loan or related Serviced Companion Loan is being serviced under this Agreement and subject to the processing and consent procedures specified in Section 3.34, the Special Servicer shall determine (with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan or, to the extent such action is a Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision, any Serviced Mortgage Loan that is not a Specially Serviced Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan) in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard (or, in the case of any Non-Specially Serviced Loan, to the extent such action is not a Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision, the Master Servicer shall determine in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard), on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, whether to (a) exercise any right it may have with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan (x) to accelerate the payments thereon or (y) to grant or withhold its consent to any sale or transfer, consistent with the Servicing Standard or (b) waive any right to exercise such rights, provided that, (A) with respect to such consent or waiver of rights that is a Major Decision, the Special Servicer shall, subject to the DCH Limitations, obtain the prior written consent (or deemed consent) of, or consult with, the Directing Certificateholder, and, if such Mortgage Loan is not an Excluded RRCP Loan, shall have consulted with the Risk Retention Consultation Party, in each case if, as and to the extent required under Section 6.08, and (B) with respect to any Mortgage Loan (I) with a Stated Principal Balance greater than or equal to $20,000,000, (II) with a Stated Principal Balance greater than or equal to 5% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans then outstanding or (III) together with all other Mortgage Loans with which it is cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted or together with all other Mortgage Loans with the same Mortgagor (or an Affiliate thereof), that is one of the ten largest Mortgage Loans or Crossed Mortgage Loan Groups outstanding (by Stated Principal Balance), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency (provided, that no such Rating Agency Confirmation will be required if such Mortgage Loan has a Stated Principal Balance of $10,000,000 or less or if the related Mortgage Loan does not meet the criteria set forth in subclause (I), (II) or (III); provided, that a Rating Agency Communication will be required in all cases) and a confirmation of any applicable rating agency that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then current ratings of any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities (if any); provided, that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any Excluded Loan (regardless of whether an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing), the Special Servicer shall consult with the Operating Advisor, on a non-binding basis, in connection with the related transactions involving proposed Major Decisions and consider alternative actions recommended by the Operating Advisor, in respect thereof, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6.08 for consulting with the Operating Advisor.

Unless determined to be a Nonrecoverable Advance, such costs not collected from the related Mortgagor shall be advanced as a Servicing Advance.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

then, for so long as such Mortgage Loan or related Serviced Companion Loan is being serviced under this Agreement and subject to the processing and consent procedures specified in Section 3.34, the Special Servicer shall determine (with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan or, to the extent such action is a Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision, any Serviced Mortgage Loan that is not a Specially Serviced Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan) in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard (or, in the case of any Non-Specially Serviced Loan, to the extent such action is not a Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision, the Master Servicer shall determine in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard), on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, whether to (a) exercise any right it may have with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan (x) to accelerate the payments thereon or (y) to grant or withhold its consent to the creation of any additional lien or other encumbrance, consistent with

 

    -196-

     

    
 

the Servicing Standard or (b) waive its right to exercise such rights, provided that, (A) with respect to such consent or waiver of rights that is a Major Decision, the Special Servicer shall, subject to the DCH Limitations, obtain the prior written consent (or deemed consent) of, or consult with, the Directing Certificateholder, and, if such Mortgage Loan is not an Excluded RRCP Loan, shall have consulted with the Risk Retention Consultation Party, in each case if, as and to the extent required under Section 6.08, and (B) with respect to any Mortgage Loan (I) with a Stated Principal Balance greater than or equal to 2% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans then outstanding, (II) that has a combined loan-to-value ratio greater than 85% (based upon any and all existing and proposed debt), (III) that has a combined debt service coverage ratio less than 1.20x (in each case, determined based upon the aggregate debt service on the related Mortgage Loan and any related Companion Loan, if any, and the debt service on the proposed additional lien), (IV) together with all other Mortgage Loans with which it is cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted or together with all other Mortgage Loans with the same Mortgagor (or an Affiliate thereof), that is one of the ten largest Mortgage Loans or Crossed Mortgage Loan Groups outstanding (by Stated Principal Balance), or (V) with a Stated Principal Balance greater than or equal to $35,000,000, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency (provided, that no such Rating Agency Confirmation will be required if such Mortgage Loan has a Stated Principal Balance of $10,000,000 or less or if the related Mortgage Loan does not meet the criteria set forth in subclause (I), (II), (III), (IV) or (V); provided, that a Rating Agency Communication will be required in all cases) and a confirmation of any applicable rating agency that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then current ratings of any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities (if any); provided, that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any Excluded Loan (regardless of whether an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing), the Special Servicer shall consult with the Operating Advisor, on a non-binding basis, in connection with the related transactions involving proposed Major Decisions and consider alternative actions recommended by the Operating Advisor, in respect thereof, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6.08 for consulting with the Operating Advisor.

 

In connection with any request for Rating Agency Confirmation from a Rating Agency pursuant to this Section 3.08(b), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall (if not already provided in accordance with Section 3.25 of this Agreement) deliver a Review Package to the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall post such Review Package on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(c)) or, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the 17g-5 information provider under the related Other Securitization, in each case in accordance with Section 3.25 of this Agreement.

 

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

 

    -197-

     

    
 

If any Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan provides that such Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan may be further encumbered without the consent of the mortgagee provided that certain conditions are satisfied and there is no lender discretion with respect to the satisfaction of such conditions, then for so long as such Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan is being serviced under this Agreement, the Special Servicer, with respect to all Specially Serviced Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, shall determine whether such conditions have been satisfied, or, with respect to all Non-Specially Serviced Loans which do not allow the mortgagee discretion in determining whether conditions are satisfied, the Master Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, shall make such determination with respect to whether such conditions have been satisfied.

 

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

 

(d)        Except as otherwise permitted by Section 3.08(a) and (b) and/or Section 3.18, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall agree to modify, waive or amend any term of any Mortgage Loan and related Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable, in connection with the taking of, or the failure to take, any action pursuant to this Section 3.08. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide copies of any final waivers (except with respect to provision of any such waivers to the 17g-5 Information Provider, exclusive of any Privileged Information) it effects pursuant to Section 3.08(a) or (b) to each other and to the 17g-5 Information Provider with respect to each Mortgage Loan, and shall notify the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, each other and, subject to the terms of this Agreement, the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall post such documents on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(c)) and, with respect to a Whole Loan, the related Serviced Companion Noteholder, of any assumption or substitution agreement executed pursuant to Section 3.08(a) or (b) and shall forward thereto a copy of such agreement.

 

(e)        Pursuant to each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, if there is a breach of the representations and warranties set forth in paragraph 30 or paragraph 32 in Exhibit 2 thereto, and as a result the payments, by a Mortgagor, of reasonable costs and expenses associated with securing the consent or approval of the holder of the Mortgage for a waiver of a “due-on-sale” or “due-on-encumbrance” clause or the defeasance of a Mortgage Loan are insufficient such that the Trust incurs an additional trust fund expense in an amount equal to such reasonable costs and expenses not paid by such Mortgagor, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall reimburse the Trust within ninety (90) days of the receipt of notice of such breach in an amount sufficient to avoid such additional trust fund expense (and, if applicable, to pay the amount of any fees and expenses of the Asset Representations Reviewer related to the Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan not previously paid by the related Mortgage Loan Seller).

 

(f)         Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Master Servicer may not waive its rights or grant its consent under any “due-on-sale” or “due-on-encumbrance” clause without the consent of the Special Servicer and the Special Servicer may not waive its rights or grant its consent under any “due-on-sale” or “due-on-encumbrance” clause relating to any Non-Specially Serviced Loan or relating to any Specially Serviced Loan without (prior to the occurrence

 

    -198-

     

    

 

and continuance of a Control Termination Event and subject to the DCH Limitations) the consent of the Directing Certificateholder (or after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, but prior to a Consultation Termination Event (and subject to the DCH Limitations), upon consultation with the Directing Certificateholder pursuant to Section 6.08 hereof). The Directing Certificateholder shall have ten (10) Business Days after receipt of notice along with the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s recommendation and analysis with respect to such proposed waiver or proposed granting of consent and any additional information the Directing Certificateholder may reasonably request from the Special Servicer of a proposed waiver or consent under any “due on sale” or “due-on-encumbrance” clause in which to grant or withhold its consent (provided that if the Special Servicer fails to receive a response to such notice from the Directing Certificateholder in writing within such period, then the Directing Certificateholder shall be deemed to have consented to such proposed waiver or consent).

 

(g)        Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.08, if the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, makes a determination under Sections 3.08(a) or 3.08(b) hereof that the applicable conditions in the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan documents, as applicable, with respect to assumptions or encumbrances permitted without the consent of the mortgagee have been satisfied, the applicable assumptions and transfers may be subject to an assumption or other fee, unless such fees are otherwise prohibited pursuant to the Mortgage Loan documents; provided that any such fee not provided for in the Mortgage Loan documents does not constitute a “significant” change in yield pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.1001-3(e)(2).

 

Section 3.09     Realization Upon Defaulted Loans and Companion Loans. (a) Upon an event of default under the Mortgage Loan documents related to a Serviced Whole Loan or a Mortgage Loan with mezzanine debt, the Master Servicer shall promptly provide written notice to the related Companion Holder or mezzanine lender, as applicable, with a copy of such notice to the Special Servicer. The Special Servicer shall, subject to subsections (b) through (d) of this Section 3.09, Section 3.24, subject to the Directing Certificateholder’s rights pursuant to Section 6.08, the Risk Retention Consultation Party’s rights pursuant to Section 6.08 and any Companion Holder or mezzanine lender’s rights under the related Intercreditor Agreement (in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, on behalf of the holders of the beneficial interest of the related Companion Loan) or this Agreement, exercise reasonable efforts, consistent with the Servicing Standard, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert (which may include an REO Acquisition) the ownership of property securing any such Serviced Mortgage Loan and related Companion Loan, if any, as come into and continue in default as to which no satisfactory arrangements (including by way of a discounted pay-off) can be made for collection of delinquent payments, and which are not released from the Trust Fund pursuant to any other provision hereof. The foregoing is subject to the provision that, in any case in which a Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage from an Uninsured Cause, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall not be required to make a Servicing Advance and expend funds toward the restoration of such property unless the Special Servicer has determined in its reasonable discretion that such restoration will increase the net proceeds of liquidation of such Mortgaged Property to Certificateholders after reimbursement to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, for such Servicing Advance, and the Master Servicer or Special Servicer has not determined that such Servicing Advance together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. The costs and expenses incurred by the Special Servicer in any such proceedings shall

 

    -199-

     

    

 

be advanced by the Master Servicer; provided that, in each case, such cost or expense would not, if incurred, constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. Nothing contained in this Section 3.09 shall be construed so as to require the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust, to make an offer on any Mortgaged Property at a foreclosure sale or similar proceeding that is in excess of the fair market value of such property, as determined by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in its reasonable judgment taking into account the factors described in Section 3.16(b) and the results of any Appraisal obtained pursuant to the following sentence, all such bids to be made in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard. If and when the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer deems it necessary and prudent for purposes of establishing the fair market value of any Mortgaged Property securing a Defaulted Loan or any related defaulted Companion Loan, whether for purposes of making an offer at foreclosure or otherwise, the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, is authorized to have an Appraisal performed with respect to such property by an Independent MAI-designated appraiser the cost of which shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance.

 

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

 

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

 

(ii)        the Special Servicer shall have obtained an Opinion of Counsel (the cost of which shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance) to the effect that the holding of such personal property by the Trust (to the extent not allocable to the related Companion Loan) will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event (and such Opinion of Counsel may be premised on the designation hereby of any such personal property as being deemed part of an “outside reserve fund” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(h)) with the owner of such personal property for federal income tax purposes to be designated at such time).

 

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

 

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

 

    -200-

     

    

 

and, if applicable, Companion Holders constituted a single lender, to take such actions as are necessary to bring such Mortgaged Property in compliance with such laws, and

 

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

 

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

 

(d)        If (i) the environmental testing contemplated by subsection (c) above establishes that either of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of subsection (c) above of the first sentence thereof has not been satisfied with respect to any Mortgaged Property securing a Defaulted Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan, and (ii) there has been no breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in or required to be made pursuant to Section 4 of each of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements for which the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller could be required to repurchase such Defaulted Loan pursuant to Section 5 of the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, then the Special Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Trust (other than proceeding to acquire title to the Mortgaged Property) and is hereby authorized (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event (or with respect to any Serviced AB Mortgage Loan, after the

 

    -201-

     

    
 

occurrence and during the continuation of a Serviced AB Control Appraisal Period, but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event) and subject to the DCH Limitations), with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder at such time as it deems appropriate to release such Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage, provided that, if such Mortgage Loan has a then-outstanding principal balance of greater than $1,000,000, then prior to the release of the related Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage, (i) the Special Servicer shall have notified the Rating Agencies, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and (prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event and subject to the DCH Limitations) the Directing Certificateholder, in writing of its intention to so release such Mortgaged Property and the bases for such intention, (ii) the Certificate Administrator shall have posted such notice of the Special Servicer’s intention to so release such Mortgaged Property to the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(b) and (iii) in addition to the prior written consent of the Directing Certificateholder as required above, the Holders of Certificates entitled to a majority of the Voting Rights shall have consented or have been deemed to have consented to such release within thirty (30) days of the Certificate Administrator’s posting such notice to the Certificate Administrator’s Website (failure to respond by the end of such 30-day period being deemed consent of the Holders of the Certificates). To the extent any fee charged by any Rating Agency in connection with rendering such written confirmation is not paid by the related Mortgagor, such fee is to be an expense of the Trust; provided that the Special Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect such fee from the Mortgagor to the extent permitted under the related Mortgage Loan documents.

 

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

 

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

 

(g)        The Special Servicer shall have the right to determine, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, the advisability of the maintenance of an action to obtain a deficiency

 

    -202-

     

    

 

judgment if the state in which the Mortgaged Property is located and the terms of the Mortgage Loan (and if applicable, the related Companion Loan) permit such an action.

 

(h)        The Special Servicer shall maintain accurate records, prepared by one of its Servicing Officers, of each Final Recovery Determination in respect of a Defaulted Loan (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or defaulted Companion Loan or any REO Property (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) and the basis thereof. Each Final Recovery Determination shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate promptly delivered to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Certificateholder (subject to the DCH Limitations), the Risk Retention Consultation Party (other than with respect to any Excluded RRCP Loan) and the Master Servicer and in no event later than the next succeeding P&I Advance Determination Date.

 

Section 3.10     Trustee and Certificate Administrator to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files. (a) Upon the payment in full of any Serviced Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, of a notification that payment in full shall be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, will promptly notify the Trustee and the Custodian and request delivery of the related Mortgage File. Any such notice and request shall be in the form of a Request for Release signed by a Servicing Officer and shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.04(a) or remitted to the Master Servicer to enable such deposit, have been or will be so deposited. Within seven (7) Business Days (or within such shorter period as release can reasonably be accomplished if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer notifies the Custodian of an exigency) of receipt of such notice and request, the Custodian shall release the related Mortgage File to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be; provided that in the case of the payment in full of a Serviced Companion Loan or its related Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage File shall not be released by the Custodian unless the related Serviced Whole Loan is paid in full. No expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Collection Account.

 

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

 

    -203-

     

    
 

(c)        Within seven (7) Business Days (or within such shorter period as delivery can reasonably be accomplished if the Special Servicer notifies the Trustee of an exigency) of receipt thereof, the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Special Servicer any court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or other documents necessary to the foreclosure or trustee’s sale in respect of a Mortgaged Property or to any legal action brought to obtain judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note (including any note evidencing a related Companion Loan) or Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in equity. The Special Servicer shall be responsible for the preparation of all such documents and pleadings. When submitted to the Trustee for signature, such documents or pleadings shall be accompanied by a certificate of a Servicing Officer requesting that such pleadings or documents be executed by the Trustee and certifying as to the reason such documents or pleadings are required and that the execution and delivery thereof by the Trustee will not invalidate or otherwise affect the lien of the Mortgage, except for the termination of such a lien upon completion of the foreclosure or trustee’s sale. The Trustee shall not be required to review such documents for their sufficiency or enforceability.

 

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

 

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

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

 

The Master Servicer and any successor holder of the Excess Servicing Fee Rights shall be entitled, at any time, at its own expense, to transfer, sell, pledge or otherwise assign such Excess Servicing Fee Rights in whole (but not in part), in either case, to any Qualified Institutional Buyer or Institutional Accredited Investor (other than a Plan); provided, that no such transfer, sale, pledge or other assignment shall be made unless (i) that transfer, sale, pledge or other assignment is exempt from the registration and/or qualification requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws and is otherwise made in accordance with the Securities Act and such state securities laws, (ii) the prospective transferor shall have delivered to the Depositor a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit TT-1 attached hereto, and (iii) the prospective transferee shall have delivered to the Master Servicer and the Depositor a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit TT-2 attached hereto. None of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Certificate Registrar shall have any obligation to register or qualify an Excess Servicing Fee Right under the Securities Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under this Agreement to permit the transfer, sale, pledge or assignment of an Excess Servicing Fee Right without registration or qualification. The Master Servicer and each holder of an Excess Servicing Fee Right desiring to effect a transfer, sale, pledge or other assignment of such Excess Servicing Fee Right shall, and the Master Servicer hereby agrees, and each such holder of an Excess Servicing Fee Right by its acceptance of such Excess Servicing Fee Right shall be deemed to have agreed, in connection with any transfer of such Excess Servicing Fee Right effected by such Person, to indemnify the Certificateholders, the Trust, the Depositor, the Underwriters, the Initial Purchasers, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Special Servicer against any liability that may result if such transfer is not exempt from registration and/or qualification under the Securities Act or other applicable federal and state securities laws or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws or in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this paragraph. By its acceptance of an Excess Servicing Fee Right, the holder thereof shall be deemed to have agreed not to use or disclose such information in any manner that could result in a violation of any provision of the Securities Act or other applicable securities laws or that would require registration of such Excess Servicing Fee Right or any Certificate pursuant to the Securities Act. From time to time following any transfer, sale, pledge or assignment of an Excess Servicing Fee Right, the Master Servicer with respect to the related Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan or any successor REO Loan with respect thereto to which the Excess Servicing Fee Right relates, shall pay, out of the Servicing Fee paid to the Master Servicer with respect to such Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan or any successor REO Loan, as the case may be, the related Excess Servicing Fee to the holder of such Excess Servicing Fee Right within one Business Day following the payment of such Servicing Fee to the Master Servicer, in each case in accordance with payment instructions provided by such holder in writing to the Master

Subject to Section 3.11(d), the Master Servicer shall also be entitled to additional servicing compensation in the form of: (i) interest or other income earned on deposits relating to the Trust Fund in the Collection Account or the Companion Distribution Account in accordance with Section 3.06(b) (but only to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings, if any, with respect to such account for the period from and including the prior Distribution Date to and including the P&I Advance Date related to the current Distribution Date), (ii) interest or other income earned on deposits in the Servicing Accounts which are not required by applicable law or the related Mortgage Loan to be paid to the Mortgagor, and (iii) the difference, if positive, between Prepayment Interest Excesses (to the extent not payable by the Master Servicer as a Compensating Interest Payment) and Prepayment Interest Shortfalls collected on the Serviced Mortgage Loans and any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, during the related Collection Period to the extent not required to be paid as Compensating Interest Payments.

As to each Specially Serviced Loan and REO Loan, the Special Servicing Fee shall accrue from time to time at the Special Servicing Fee Rate and shall be computed on the basis of the Stated Principal Balance of such Specially Serviced Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be, and in the same manner as interest is calculated on the Specially Serviced Loans or REO Loans, as the case may be, and, in connection with any partial month interest payment, for the same period respecting which any related interest payment due on such Specially Serviced Loan or deemed to be due on such REO Loan is computed.

In addition, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to charge any Mortgagor for, and retain as additional servicing compensation (other than with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) reasonable review fees in connection with any Mortgagor request to the extent such review fees are not prohibited under the related Mortgage Loan documents, and only to the extent actually paid by or on behalf of the related Mortgagor. The Special Servicer shall also be entitled to additional servicing compensation in the form of a Workout Fee with respect to each Corrected Loan at the Workout Fee Rate on such Corrected Loan for so long as it remains a Corrected Loan; provided, that after receipt by the Special Servicer of Workout Fees with respect to such Corrected Loan in an amount equal to $25,000, any Workout Fees in excess of such amount shall be reduced by the Excess Modification Fee Amount received by the Special Servicer; provided, further, that in the event the Workout Fee collected over the course of such workout calculated at the Workout Fee Rate is less than $25,000, then the Special Servicer shall be entitled to an amount from the final payment on the related Corrected Loan (including any related Serviced Companion Loan) that would result in the total Workout Fees payable to the Special Servicer in respect of that Corrected Loan (including any related Serviced Companion Loan) equal to $25,000. The Workout Fee shall be reduced (but not below zero) with respect to each collection on such Corrected Loan from which fee would otherwise be payable until an amount equal to the Excess Modification Fee Amount has been deducted in full. The Workout Fee with respect to any Corrected Loan will cease to be payable if such loan again becomes a Specially Serviced Loan; provided that a new Workout Fee will become payable if and when such Specially Serviced Loan (together with any related Serviced Companion Loan) again becomes a Corrected Loan. The Special Servicer shall not be entitled to any Workout Fee with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan. If the Special Servicer is terminated (other than for cause) or resigns, it shall retain the right to receive any and all Workout Fees payable in respect of Mortgage Loans or any related Serviced Companion Loan that became Corrected Loans prior to the time of that termination or resignation except the Workout Fees will no longer be payable if the Corrected Loan subsequently becomes a Specially Serviced Loan. If the Special Servicer resigns or is terminated (other than for cause), it will receive any Workout Fees payable on Specially Serviced Loans for which the resigning or terminated Special Servicer had determined to grant a forbearance or cured the event of default through a modification, restructuring or workout negotiated by the Special Servicer and evidenced by a signed writing, but which had not as of the time the Special Servicer resigned or was terminated become a Corrected Loan solely because the Mortgagor had not had sufficient time to make three consecutive timely Periodic Payments and which subsequently becomes a Corrected Loan as a result of the Mortgagor making such three

 

    -210-

     

    

 

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

 

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

 

(d)        In
determining the compensation of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, with respect to Penalty Charges, on any
Distribution Date, the aggregate Penalty Charges collected on any Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Companion Loan since
the prior Distribution Date shall be applied (in such order) to reimburse (i) the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the
Trustee for interest on Advances on such Mortgage Loan or related

 

    -211-

     

    
 

Companion Loan, if applicable (and, in connection with a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer, the applicable Non-Serviced Special Servicer or the applicable Non-Serviced Trustee for interest on the Servicing Advances made by any such party with respect to a Non-Serviced Whole Loan pursuant to the applicable Non-Serviced PSA, to the extent not prohibited by the applicable Non-Serviced Intercreditor Agreement) due on such Distribution Date, (ii) the Trust for all interest on Advances previously paid to the Master Servicer or the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(vi) hereof (and, in connection with a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the related trust for all interest on Servicing Advances reimbursed by such trust to any party under the applicable Non-Serviced PSA, which resulted in an additional expense for the Trust, to the extent not prohibited by the applicable Non-Serviced Intercreditor Agreement) with respect to such Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan, if applicable and (iii) the Trust for all additional expenses of the Trust (other than Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees and Liquidation Fees), including without limitation, inspections by the Special Servicer and all unpaid Advances incurred since the Closing Date with respect to such Mortgage Loan (or, if provided under the related Intercreditor Agreement, any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan). Penalty Charges (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, which shall be payable as additional servicing compensation under the related Non-Serviced PSA) remaining thereafter shall be distributed to the Master Servicer, if and to the extent accrued while such Mortgage Loan and any related Companion Loan was a Non-Specially Serviced Loan, and to the Special Servicer, if and to the extent accrued on such Mortgage Loan during the period such Mortgage Loan was a Specially Serviced Loan or REO Loan. Any Penalty Charges paid or payable as additional servicing compensation to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be distributed between the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, on a pro rata basis, based on the Master Servicer’s and the Special Servicer’s respective entitlements to such compensation described in the previous sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Penalty Charges with respect to any Companion Loan will be allocated pursuant to the applicable Intercreditor Agreement after payment of all related Advances and interest thereon and additional expenses of the Trust in accordance with this Section 3.11(d).

 

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

 

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

performance of any other special servicing duties under this Agreement, other than as expressly provided in this Section 3.11; provided that such prohibition shall not apply to Permitted Special Servicer/Affiliate Fees.

 

(g)        Pursuant to the CREFC® License Agreement, CREFC® shall be paid (according to the payment instructions set forth on Exhibit JJ hereto or such other payment instructions as CREFC® may provide to the Master Servicer in writing at least two Business Days prior to the Remittance Date) the CREFC® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee on a monthly basis.

(h)        If a Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan prior to the related Servicing Shift Securitization Date, the Special Servicer shall service and administer the related Servicing Shift Whole Loan and any related REO Property in the same manner as any other Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property and shall be entitled to all rights and compensation earned with respect to such Servicing Shift Whole Loan during the period for which it acts as Special Servicer of such Servicing Shift Whole Loan. With respect to each Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan, prior to the related Servicing Shift Securitization Date, no other special servicer will be entitled to any such compensation or have such rights and obligations. If a Servicing Shift Whole Loan is still a Specially Serviced Loan on the related Servicing Shift Securitization Date, the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to compensation with respect to the related Servicing Shift Whole Loan as if the Special Servicer were being terminated as Special Servicer and the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer were replacing it as the successor special servicer. Upon receipt of notice of its termination as Special Servicer with respect to a Servicing Shift Whole Loan, the Special Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer in connection with the servicing transition of the related Servicing Shift Whole Loan on and after the related Servicing Shift Securitization Date.

 

Section 3.12     Inspections; Collection of Financial Statements. (a) The Master Servicer shall perform (at its own expense), or shall cause to be performed (at its own expense), a physical inspection of each Mortgaged Property relating to a Serviced Mortgage Loan (other than any Specially Serviced Loan) with a Stated Principal Balance of (i) $2,000,000 or more at least once every twelve (12) months, commencing in the calendar year 2021, and (ii) less than $2,000,000 at least once every twenty-four (24) months, commencing in the calendar year 2022; provided, that if a physical inspection has been performed by the Special Servicer in the previous twelve (12) months and the Master Servicer has no knowledge of a material change in the Mortgaged Property since such physical inspection, the Master Servicer will not be required to perform, or cause to be performed, such physical inspection; provided, further, that if any scheduled payment becomes more than 60 days delinquent on the related Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall inspect or cause to be inspected the related Mortgaged Property as soon as practicable after such Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan and annually thereafter for so long as such Mortgage Loan remains a Specially Serviced Loan. The cost of such inspection by the Special Servicer pursuant to the second proviso of the immediately preceding sentence shall be an expense of the Trust, and, to the extent not paid by the related Mortgagor, reimbursed first

from Penalty Charges actually received from the related Mortgagor and then from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(ii), provided that, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, such cost shall be payable, subject to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement, first, from the related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan, and then, pro rata and pari passu, from the related Serviced Mortgage Loan and Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loans, in accordance with their respective Stated Principal Balances, in each case, prior to being payable out of general collections. The Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, shall prepare or cause to be prepared a written report of each such inspection detailing the condition of and any damage to the Mortgaged Property to the extent evident from the inspection and specifying the existence of (i) any vacancy at the Mortgaged Property that the preparer of such report has knowledge of and the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, deems material, (ii) any sale, transfer or abandonment of the Mortgaged Property of which the preparer of such report has knowledge or that is evident from the inspection, (iii) any adverse change in the condition of the Mortgaged Property of which the preparer of such report has knowledge or that is evident from the inspection, and that the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, deems material, (iv) any visible material waste committed on the Mortgaged Property of which the preparer of such report has knowledge or that is evident from the inspection and (v) photographs of each inspected Mortgaged Property. The Special Servicer and the Master Servicer shall promptly following preparation deliver or make available a copy (in electronic format) of each such report prepared by the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer, respectively, to the other party, to the Directing Certificateholder (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and subject to the DCH Limitations). Within five (5) Business Days after request for copies of such reports by the Rating Agencies, the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, shall deliver or make available a copy (in electronic format) of each such report prepared by the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer, as applicable, to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website for review by NRSROs that are Privileged Persons. In respect of any Mortgage Loan that is a Specially Serviced Loan, prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event (and subject to the DCH Limitations), the Master Servicer shall deliver or make available a copy of each such report to the Directing Certificateholder and upon request to each Controlling Class Certificateholder (which request may state that such items may be delivered until further notice).

 

(b)        The Special Servicer, in the case of any Specially Serviced Loan, and the Master Servicer, in the case of any Non-Specially Serviced Loan, shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect promptly and review from each related Mortgagor quarterly and annual operating statements, financial statements, budgets and rent rolls of the related Mortgaged Property, and the quarterly and annual financial statements of such Mortgagor, whether or not delivery of such items is required pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents and any other reports or documents required to be delivered under the terms of the Mortgage Loans (and each Serviced Companion Loan), if delivery of such items is required pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan (and each Serviced Companion Loan) documents. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not be required to request such operating statements or rent rolls more than once if the related Mortgagor is not required to deliver such statements pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan documents. In addition, the Special Servicer shall cause quarterly and annual operating statements, budgets and rent rolls to be regularly prepared in respect of each REO Property and shall collect all such items promptly following their preparation. The Special Servicer shall deliver all such items to the Master Servicer within five (5) Business Days

Upon the request of any Privileged Person (other than the NRSROs) to receive copies of such items, the Master Servicer shall deliver electronic copies of such items to the Certificate Administrator to be posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website. The Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, upon request of any Rating Agency, shall deliver copies of all or any portion of the foregoing items so collected thereby to the 17g-5 Information Provider pursuant to Section 3.13(c).

 

In addition, the Master Servicer (with respect to each Serviced Mortgage Loan that is not a Specially Serviced Loan) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and each REO Property related to a Serviced Mortgage Loan), as applicable, shall prepare with respect to each related Mortgaged Property or such REO Property, as applicable:

 

(i)         within forty-five (45) days after receipt of a quarterly operating statement, if any, commencing with the quarter ending June 30, 2020, a CREFC® Operating Statement Analysis Report (but only to the extent the related Mortgagor is required by the related Mortgage Loan documents to deliver and does deliver, or otherwise agrees to provide and does provide, such information) for such Mortgaged Property or REO Property as of the end of that calendar quarter, provided, that any analysis or report with respect to the first calendar quarter of each year will not be required to the extent provided in the then-current applicable CREFC® guidelines (it being understood that as of the Closing Date, the applicable CREFC® guidelines provide that such analysis or report with respect to the first calendar quarter (in each year) is not required for a Mortgaged Property unless such Mortgaged Property is analyzed on a trailing 12 month basis, or if the related Serviced Mortgage Loan is on the CREFC® Servicer Watch List). The Master Servicer (with respect to each Serviced Mortgage Loan that is not a Specially Serviced Loan) (or with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties, in which case the Special Servicer shall first deliver the related CREFC® Operating Statement Analysis Report and operating statements to the Master Servicer) shall deliver or make available copies (in electronic format) of each CREFC® Operating Statement Analysis Report and, upon request, the related operating statements (in each case, promptly following the initial preparation and each material revision thereof) to the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Certificateholder, the related Companion Holder (with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan) and the Special Servicer.

 

(ii)        within forty-five (45) days after receipt of an annual operating statement (if and to the extent any such information is in the form of normalized year-end financial statements that have been based on a minimum number of months of operating results as recommended by CREFC® in the instructions to the CREFC® guidelines) for each calendar year commencing within forty-five (45) days of receipt of such annual operating statement for the calendar year ending December 31, 2020, a CREFC® NOI Adjustment Worksheet (but only to the extent the related Mortgagor is required by the related Mortgage Loan documents to deliver and does deliver, or otherwise agrees to provide and does provide, such information), presenting the computation to “normalize” the full year net operating income and debt service coverage numbers used by the Master Servicer in preparing the

CREFC® Comparative Financial Status Report. The Master Servicer (with respect to each Serviced Mortgage Loan that is not a Specially Serviced Loan) (or with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties, in which case the Special Servicer shall first deliver the related CREFC® NOI Adjustment Worksheet and the operating statements or rent rolls to the Master Servicer) shall deliver or make available copies (in electronic format) of each CREFC® NOI Adjustment Worksheet and, upon request, the related operating statements or rent rolls (in each case, promptly following the initial preparation and each material revision thereof) to the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Certificateholder, the related Companion Holder (with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan) and the Special Servicer.

(d)        Not later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on each P&I Advance Date beginning March 2020, the Master Servicer shall prepare (if and to the extent necessary) and deliver or cause to be delivered in electronic format to the Certificate Administrator the following reports and data files: (A) to the extent the Master Servicer has received the CREFC® Special Servicer Loan File at the time required, the most recent CREFC® Delinquent Loan Status Report, CREFC® Historical Loan Modification/Forbearance and Corrected Mortgage Loan Report and the CREFC® REO Status Report, (B) CREFC® Loan Setup File (only with respect to the first Distribution Date), (C) the most recent CREFC® Property File, and CREFC® Comparative Financial Status Report (in each case incorporating the data required to be included in the CREFC® Special Servicer Loan File pursuant to Section 3.12(c) by the Special Servicer and Master Servicer), (D) a CREFC® Servicer Watch List with information that is current as of such Determination Date, (E) CREFC® Financial File, (F) CREFC® Loan Level Reserve/LOC Report, (G) the CREFC® Advance Recovery Report, (H) CREFC® Total Loan Report and (I) the report on Disclosable Special Servicer Fees delivered pursuant to Section 3.11(e) to the extent received from the Special Servicer, if any.

P&I Advance Date beginning March 2020, the Master Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered in electronic format to the Certificate Administrator any applicable CREFC® Loan Liquidation Reports, CREFC® Loan Modification Reports and CREFC® REO Liquidation Reports received from the Special Servicer. Not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) two (2) Business Days prior to the Distribution Date beginning March 2020, the Master Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Certificate Administrator via electronic format the CREFC® Loan Periodic Update File and the CREFC® Appraisal Reduction Template if provided for such Distribution Date. In no event shall any report described in this subsection be required to reflect information that has not been collected by or delivered to the Master Servicer, or any payments or collections not received by the Master Servicer, as of the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Business Day on which the report is due.

 

(e)        Not later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) two (2) calendar days following each Distribution Date (provided that if such second calendar day is not a Business Day, then the immediately succeeding Business Day), the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Certificate Administrator the CREFC® Schedule AL File in EDGAR-Compatible Format; provided, that the Master Servicer shall have no obligation to prepare or deliver any such CREFC® Schedule AL File or Schedule AL Additional File unless the Depositor has delivered the items required by Section 2.01(j). If the CREFC® Schedule AL File is not received by the Certificate Administrator by 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) two (2) calendar days following each Distribution Date (provided that if such second calendar day is not a Business Day, then the immediately succeeding Business Day), the Certificate Administrator shall request such CREFC® Schedule AL File from the Master Servicer via email at NoticeAdmin@midlandls.com with a copy to the Depositor at cmbs_notices@morganstanley.com. In preparing the CREFC® Schedule AL File and any Schedule AL Additional File for any given Distribution Date, and without any due diligence, investigation or verification, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely, absent manifest error, on the content, completeness, accuracy and compliance with any applicable requirements of Items 1111(h) and 1125 of Regulation AB and Item 601(b) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act as in effect on the Closing Date of the Initial Schedule AL File, Initial Schedule AL Additional File and the Annex A-1 to the Prospectus. The Master Servicer may concurrently with the delivery of the related CREFC® Schedule AL File, deliver any related Schedule AL Additional File in EDGAR-Compatible Format to the Certificate Administrator. The CREFC® Schedule AL File and the Schedule AL Additional File shall each be a single file. Neither the Certificate Administrator nor the Master Servicer shall be required to combine multiple CREFC® Schedule AL Files or Schedule AL Additional Files, unless, solely with respect to the Master Servicer, multiple Sub-Servicers prepare and submit such CREFC® Schedule AL Files or Schedule AL Additional Files to the Master Servicer. The Certificate Administrator shall not be required to review, redact, reconcile, edit or verify the content, completeness or accuracy of the information contained in any CREFC® Schedule AL File or any Schedule AL Additional File. The Certificate Administrator shall not be deemed to have actual knowledge of the contents of any CREFC® Schedule AL File or any Schedule AL Additional File solely by virtue of its receipt thereof.

 

In the absence of manifest error, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon, without investigation or inquiry, any information and reports delivered to it by any third party, and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon the Master Servicer’s reports and any information provided by the Trustee, without any duty or

 

    -217-

     

    

 

obligation to recompute, verify or recalculate any of the amounts and other information stated therein.

 

(f)         The Special Servicer shall deliver to the Master Servicer the reports and information required of the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12(b) and Section 3.12(c), and the Master Servicer shall deliver or make available to the Certificate Administrator the reports and data files set forth in Section 3.12(d). The Master Servicer may, absent manifest error, conclusively rely on the reports and/or data to be provided by the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12(b) and Section 3.12(c). The Certificate Administrator may, absent manifest error, conclusively rely on the reports and/or data to be provided by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12(d). In the case of information or reports to be furnished by the Master Servicer to the Certificate Administrator pursuant to Section 3.12(d), to the extent that such information or reports are, in turn, based on information or reports to be provided by the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12(b) or Section 3.12(c) and to the extent that such reports are to be prepared and delivered by the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12(b) or Section 3.12(c), the Master Servicer shall have no obligation to provide such information or reports to the Certificate Administrator until it has received the requisite information or reports from the Special Servicer, and the Master Servicer shall not be in default hereunder due to a delay in providing the reports required by Section 3.12(d) caused by the Special Servicer’s failure to timely provide any information or report required under Section 3.12(b) or Section 3.12(c) of this Agreement.

 

(g)        Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, the failure of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer to disclose any information otherwise required to be disclosed by this Section 3.12 shall not constitute a breach of this Section 3.12 to the extent the Master Servicer or Special Servicer so fails because such disclosure, in the reasonable belief of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, would violate any applicable law or any provision of a Mortgage Loan document prohibiting disclosure of information with respect to the Mortgage Loans or Mortgaged Properties. The Master Servicer and Special Servicer may disclose any such information or any additional information to any Person so long as such disclosure is consistent with applicable law and the Servicing Standard. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may affix to any information provided by it any disclaimer it deems appropriate in its reasonable discretion (without suggesting liability on the part of any other party hereto).

 

(h)        Unless otherwise specifically stated herein, if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is required to deliver any statement, report or information under any provisions of this Agreement, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may satisfy such obligation by (x) physically delivering a paper copy of such statement, report or information, (y) delivering such statement, report or information in a commonly used electronic format or (z) making such statement, report or information available on the Master Servicer’s website (with respect to items delivered by the Master Servicer) or the Certificate Administrator’s Website, unless this Agreement expressly specifies a particular method of delivery.

 

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

 

    -218-

     

    

 

or information as a temporary measure due to system problems, however, copies in electronic format shall follow upon the correction of such system problems.

 

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

 

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

 

    -219-

     

    
 

information that it reasonably determines would prejudice the interest of the Certificateholders with respect to a workout or exercise of remedies as to any particular Mortgage Loan.

 

Notwithstanding the limitation set forth in the next succeeding paragraph but subject to the last sentence of the immediately preceding paragraph, upon the reasonable request of any Certificateholder (or with respect to any Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan, the holder of such Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan) that has delivered an Investor Certification to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may provide (or make available electronically) at the expense of such Certificateholder or holder of such Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan, as applicable, copies of any appraisals, operating statements, rent rolls and financial statements (in each case, solely relating to the related Serviced Whole Loan or Serviced AB Whole Loan, if requested by the holder of a Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan, as the case may be) obtained by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be; provided that, in connection with such request, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may require a written confirmation executed by the requesting Person substantially in such form as may be reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, generally to the effect that such Person will keep such information confidential and shall use such information only for the purpose of analyzing asset performance and evaluating any continuing rights the Certificateholder or holder of such Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan, as applicable, may have under this Agreement.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (other than as permitted in the preceding paragraph with respect to any Certificateholder or as specifically provided for herein with respect to the Directing Certificateholder), unless required by applicable law or court order, no Certificateholder or Certificate Owner shall be given access to, or be provided copies of, the Mortgage Files or Diligence Files.

 

(b)           The Certificate Administrator shall make available to Privileged Persons (provided that the Prospectus, Distribution Date Statements, Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements, this Agreement and the Commission EDGAR filings referred to below will be available to the general public) via the Certificate Administrator’s Website, the following items, in each case, to the extent such items were prepared by or delivered to the Certificate Administrator in electronic format:

In addition, if the Depositor so directs the Certificate Administrator, and on terms acceptable to the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Administrator shall make certain other information and reports related to the Mortgage Loans available through its Internet website.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Excluded Information shall be made available under a separate tab or heading designated “Excluded Information” on the Certificate Administrator’s Website (and not under any of the tabs or headings described in items (i) through (vii) above) and made available to Privileged Persons other than any Excluded Controlling Class Holder that is a Borrower Party (unless a loan-by-loan segregation is later performed by the Certificate Administrator in which case such access shall only be prohibited with respect to the related Excluded Controlling Class Loan(s)).

 

Any Person that is a Borrower Party shall only be entitled to access (a) the Distribution Date Statements, and the following items made available to the general public: the Prospectus, this Agreement, the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements and the Commission filings on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, and (b) in the case of the Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder, if any such Person becomes an Excluded Controlling Class Holder, upon delivery to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee in physical form (or, solely with respect to the Master Servicer, in electronic form) of an investor certification substantially in the forms of Exhibit P-1D and Exhibit P-1B and upon delivery to the Certificate Administrator in physical form of an investor certification substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1F, which shall include each of the CTSLink User ID associated with such Excluded Controlling Class Holder, all information (other than the Excluded Information with respect to any Excluded Controlling Class Loans (unless a loan-by-loan segregation is later performed by the Certificate Administrator in which case such access shall only be prohibited with respect to the related Excluded Controlling Class Loans)) available on the Certificate Administrator’s Website.

 

In the case of the
Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder that is not an Excluded Controlling Class Holder, upon delivery
of an investor certification substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1B hereto, such Directing Certificateholder or Controlling
Class Certificateholder shall be entitled to access all information on the Certificate Administrator’s Website. The Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee may each require and rely
on (i) an investor certification in the form of Exhibit P-1B hereto from the Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling
Class Certificateholder to the effect that such Person is not an Excluded Controlling Class Holder and (ii) an investor certification
in the form of Exhibit P-1D hereto from the Directing Certificateholder

or a Controlling Class Certificateholder to the effect that such Person is an Excluded Controlling Class Holder with respect to one or more Excluded Controlling Class Loan(s). In the event the Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder becomes an Excluded Controlling Class Holder, such party shall promptly notify each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee in writing substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1E that such party has become an Excluded Controlling Class Holder with respect to the Excluded Controlling Class Loan(s) listed in such notice and shall also provide the Certificate Administrator a notice substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1F listing each of the CTSLink User ID associated with such Excluded Controlling Class Holder and directing the Certificate Administrator to restrict such Excluded Controlling Class Holder’s access to the Certificate Administrator’s Website as and to the extent provided in this Agreement. Upon confirmation from the Certificate Administrator that such access has been restricted, such Excluded Controlling Class Holder shall submit a new investor certification substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1D to access the information on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, except that such Excluded Controlling Class Holder shall not be entitled to access any Excluded Information related to any Excluded Controlling Class Loan(s) (unless a loan-by-loan segregation is later performed by the Certificate Administrator in which case such access shall only be prohibited with respect to the related Excluded Controlling Class Loan(s)) made available on the Certificate Administrator’s Website. With respect to any Excluded Information sent for posting on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor shall mark or label such information as “Excluded Information” prior to delivery to the Certificate Administrator, and the Certificate Administrator shall segregate on the Certificate Administrator’s Website such Excluded Information (and, if possible at a later time, on loan-by-loan basis) from information relating to other Mortgage Loans or Whole Loans, as applicable. Nothing set forth in this Agreement shall prohibit the Directing Certificateholder or any Controlling Class Certificateholder or the Risk Retention Consultation Party from receiving, requesting or reviewing any Excluded Information relating to any Excluded Controlling Class Loan or Excluded RRCP Loan with respect to which such party is not a Borrower Party and, if such Excluded Information is not available to such party on the Certificate Administrator’s Website because of such party’s Excluded Controlling Class Holder status (or such party’s status as Risk Retention Consultation Party with respect to an Excluded RRCP Loan), such party shall be permitted to obtain such information from the Master Servicer or Special Servicer in accordance with Section 4.02(f) of this Agreement. The provisions in this Section 3.13(b) shall not limit the Master Servicer’s ability to make accessible certain information regarding the Mortgage Loans at a website maintained by the Master Servicer.

 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to conclusively assume that the Directing Certificateholder and all beneficial owners of the Certificates of the Controlling Class are not Excluded Controlling Class Holders except to the extent that the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, has received a notice substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1E from the Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder that it has become an Excluded Controlling Class Holder. None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Certificate Administrator shall be liable for any communication to the Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder that is an Excluded Controlling Class Holder or disclosure of any information relating to an Excluded Controlling Class Loan

 

    -225-

     

    

 

(including any related Excluded Information delivered to the Certificate Administrator for posting to the Certificate Administrator’s Website) if the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, did not receive prior written notice that the related Mortgage Loan is an Excluded Controlling Class Loan and/or, with respect to any related Excluded Information posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, such information was not delivered to the Certificate Administrator in accordance with Section 3.32.

 

Each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to conclusively rely on delivery from the Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder of an investor certification substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1B that it is not or is no longer an Excluded Controlling Class Holder. To the extent the Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder receives access pursuant to this Agreement to any Excluded Information on the Certificate Administrator’s Website or otherwise receives access to such Excluded Information, such Directing Certificateholder or Controlling Class Certificateholder shall be deemed to have agreed that it (i) will not directly or indirectly provide any such Excluded Information to (A) the related Borrower Party, (B) any related Excluded Controlling Class Holder, (C) any employees or personnel of such Directing Certificateholder or Controlling Class Certificateholder or any of its Affiliate involved in the management of any investment in the related Borrower Party or the related Mortgaged Property or (D) to its actual knowledge, any non-Affiliate that holds a direct or indirect ownership interest in the related Borrower Party, and (ii) will maintain sufficient internal controls and appropriate policies and procedures in place in order to comply with the obligations described in clause (i) above.

 

To the extent the
Risk Retention Consultation Party, the Retaining Sponsor or a holder of the VRR Interest receives access pursuant to this Agreement
to any information solely related to an Excluded RRCP Loan (which shall include any Asset Status Reports, Final Asset Status Reports
(or summaries thereof) and inspection reports related to Specially Serviced Loans conducted by the Special Servicer, and which
may include any Operating Advisor reports delivered to the Certificate Administrator regarding the Special Servicer’s net
present value determination or any Appraisal Reduction Amount calculations delivered pursuant to Section 3.26(e), and any
Officer’s Certificates delivered by the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, supporting any determination
that any Advance was (or, if made, would be) a Nonrecoverable Advance, but in each case other than information with respect to
such Mortgage Loan that is aggregated with information of other Mortgage Loans at a pool level), on the Certificate Administrator’s
Website or otherwise receives access to such information, such receiving party shall be deemed to have agreed that it (i) will
not directly or indirectly provide any such information to (A) any related Borrower Party, (B) any employees or personnel of such
receiving party or any of its Affiliates involved in the management of any investment in any related Borrower Party or the related
Mortgaged Property or (C) to its actual knowledge, any non-Affiliate that holds a direct or indirect ownership interest in any
related Borrower Party, and (ii) will maintain sufficient internal controls and appropriate policies and procedures in place in
order to comply with the obligations described in clause (i) above. For the avoidance of doubt, any file or report contained in
the CREFC® Investor Reporting Package (CREFC® IRP) (other than the CREFC® Special
Servicer Loan File relating to any such applicable Excluded RRCP Loan) shall be considered information that is aggregated with
information of other Mortgage Loans at a pool level.

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

 

(b)        The Special Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received in connection with any REO Property separate and apart from its own funds and general assets. If an REO Acquisition shall occur, the Special Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more REO Accounts, held on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and, if applicable, on behalf of any related Companion Holder(s), as applicable, as their interest shall appear, and the Trustee (as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests), for the retention of revenues and other proceeds derived from each REO Property. The REO Account shall be an Eligible Account. The Special Servicer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, in the REO Account, within two (2) Business Days after receipt of properly identified and available funds, all REO Revenues, Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds received in respect of an REO Property. Funds in the REO Account may be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with Section 3.06. The Special Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, and the Master Servicer of the location of the REO Account when first established and of the new location of the REO Account prior to any change thereof.

 

(c)        The Special Servicer shall withdraw from the REO Account funds necessary for the proper operation, management, insuring, leasing, maintenance and disposition of any REO Property, but only to the extent of amounts on deposit in the REO Account relating to such REO Property. On the later of the date that is (x) on or prior to each Determination Date or (y) two (2) Business Days after such amounts are received and properly identified and determined to be available (or, with respect to a Serviced Companion Loan, on the Business Day preceding each Serviced Whole Loan Remittance Date), the Special Servicer shall withdraw from the REO Account and remit to the Master Servicer which shall deposit into the Collection Account (or the

 

    -233-

     

    

 

Companion Distribution Account, as applicable), the aggregate of all amounts received in respect of each REO Property during the Collection Period ending on such Determination Date, net of (i) any withdrawals made out of such amounts pursuant to the preceding sentence and (ii) Net Investment Earnings on amounts on deposit in the REO Account; provided, that the Special Servicer may retain in such REO Account, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, such portion of such balance as may be necessary to maintain a reasonable reserve for repairs, replacements, leasing, management and tenant improvements and other related expenses for the related REO Property. In addition, on or prior to the day the Special Servicer remits funds as provided in this Section 3.14(c), the Special Servicer shall provide the Master Servicer with a written accounting of amounts remitted to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account, as applicable, on such date. The Master Servicer shall apply all such amounts received by the Master Servicer as of the Determination Date as instructed by the Special Servicer (or with respect to an REO Loan that is a successor to a Serviced Companion Loan, on each Serviced Whole Loan Remittance Date) for the related Distribution Date.

 

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

 

Section 3.15     Management of REO Property. (a) If title to any REO Property is acquired, the Special Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect, operate and lease such REO Property (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the related Companion Holders and the Trustee (as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests) solely for the purpose of its timely disposition and sale in a manner that does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or result in the receipt by the Trust or any Serviced Companion Noteholder of any “income from non-permitted assets” within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code or result in an Adverse REMIC Event. Subject to the foregoing, however, the Special Servicer shall have full power and authority to do any and all things in connection therewith as are in the best interests of and for the benefit of the Certificateholders (and, in the case of each Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holder(s)) and the Trustee (as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests) all as a collective whole (taking into account the subordinate or pari passu nature of any Companion Loan, as the case may be) (as determined by the Special Servicer in its reasonable judgment in accordance with the Servicing Standard). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, REO Property with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is excluded for all purposes of this Section 3.15. Subject to this Section 3.15, the Special Servicer may allow the Trust or any commercial mortgage securitization that holds any Serviced Companion Loan to earn “net income from foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(d) of the Code if it determines that the net-after tax benefit to Certificateholders and, if applicable, any related Companion Holder(s), as a collective whole, could reasonably be expected to be greater than another method of operating or net leasing the Mortgaged Property. In connection therewith, the Special Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited on a daily basis (and in no event later than two (2) Business Days following receipt of such properly identified and available funds) in the applicable REO Account all revenues received by it with respect to each REO Property and the related REO Loan, and shall withdraw from the REO Account, to the extent of amounts on deposit therein with respect to such REO Property, funds necessary for the proper

 

    -234-

     

    

 

operation, management, leasing and maintenance of such REO Property, including, without limitation:

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

To the extent that amounts on deposit in the REO Account in respect of any REO Property are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above with respect to such REO Property, the Master Servicer (subject to receiving notice from the Special Servicer in accordance with the procedures set forth elsewhere in this Agreement) shall advance from its own funds such amount as is necessary for such purposes unless (as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator and (prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event and subject to the DCH Limitations) the Directing Certificateholder) such advances would, if made, constitute Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

    -235-

     

    
 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(iv)       none of the provisions of this Section 3.15(c) relating to any such contract or to actions taken through any such Independent Contractor shall be deemed to relieve the Special Servicer of any of its duties and obligations hereunder with respect to the operation and management of any such REO Property; and

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

    -236-

     

    

 

in accordance with the Servicing Standard including, without limitation, the period and amount of the occupancy level and physical condition of the related Mortgaged Property and the state of the local economy; provided that the Special Servicer shall promptly notify the Master Servicer in writing of the initial fair value determination and any adjustment to its fair value determination.

 

(ii)        If any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan subject to an Intercreditor Agreement is a Specially Serviced Loan or to the extent otherwise required pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement, then the Special Servicer (with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan) or the Master Servicer (with respect to a Non-Specially Serviced Loan) shall promptly notify in writing the other, any related Companion Holder and any related mezzanine lender, as applicable, of any events requiring notice under the Intercreditor Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof. Thereafter, any related Companion Holder and related mezzanine lender, as applicable, will, notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.16 to the contrary, have the option to purchase the related Mortgage Loan and cure defaults relating thereto as and to the extent set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement.

 

(iii)       If
any Mortgage Loan not subject to an Intercreditor Agreement becomes a Specially Serviced Loan, or if the related Companion Holder
or related mezzanine lender, as applicable, for any such Mortgage Loan subject to an Intercreditor Agreement, has not previously
exercised the option to purchase the Mortgage Loan pursuant to the previous paragraph, the Special Servicer shall use reasonable
efforts to solicit offers for each Defaulted Loan on behalf of the Certificateholders and the holder of any related Serviced Companion
Loan in such manner as will be reasonably likely to realize a fair price, if and when the Special Servicer determines, consistent
with the Servicing Standard, that no satisfactory arrangements (including by way of a discounted pay-off) can be made for collection
of delinquent payments thereon and such a sale would be in the best economic interests of the Trust and, if applicable, the related
Companion Holder. In the case of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, under certain limited circumstances permitted under the related
Intercreditor Agreement, to the extent that such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is not sold together with the Non-Serviced Companion
Loan by the Non-Serviced Special Servicer, the Special Servicer will be entitled to sell (with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder
if no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and subject to the DCH Limitations) such Non-Serviced Mortgage
Loan if it determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such action would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders
and, subject to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to the liquidation fee
that the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer would have otherwise been entitled to in connection with the sale of such Non-Serviced
Mortgage Loan. The Special Servicer is required to give the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Operating
Advisor, the Directing Certificateholder (subject to the DCH Limitations) and the Risk Retention Consultation Party not less than
ten (10) days’ prior written notice of its intention to sell any Defaulted Loan. In the absence of a cash offer at least
equal to the Purchase Price, the Special Servicer may purchase the Defaulted Loan for the Purchase Price or may accept the highest
cash offer received from any Person that constitutes a fair price for the Defaulted Loan.

 

    -237-

     

    
 

(iv)       (A) In the case of a Specially Serviced Loan which is a continuing Defaulted Loan, in the absence of any offer at least equal to the Purchase Price pursuant to clause (iii) above (or purchase by the Special Servicer for such price), the Special Servicer may solicit offers and, subject to subclause (B) below, accept the highest offer received from any Person that is determined by the Special Servicer to be a fair price for such Specially Serviced Loan, if the offeror is a Person other than an Interested Person. In determining whether any highest offer from a Person other than an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for any Defaulted Loan, the Special Servicer shall take into account (in addition to the results of any Appraisal, updated Appraisal or narrative appraisal that it may have obtained pursuant to this Agreement within the prior nine (9) months), among other factors, the period and amount of the occupancy level and physical condition of the related Mortgaged Property and the state of the local economy. If the highest offeror is an Interested Person, the Trustee shall determine whether the offer constitutes a fair price unless such offer by an Interested Person (i) is equal to or greater than the applicable Purchase Price and (ii) is the highest offer received. Absent an offer at least equal to the Purchase Price, no offer from an Interested Person shall constitute a fair price unless (x) it is the highest offer received and (y) at least one other offer is (or, if required by a related Intercreditor Agreement, two other offers are) received from an independent third party. In determining whether any offer received from an Interested Person represents a fair price for any such Defaulted Loan, the Trustee shall rely on the most recent Appraisal (or update of such Appraisal) of the related Mortgaged Property 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. Except as provided in the following paragraph, the cost of any Appraisal will be covered by, and will be reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance by the Master Servicer.

 

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 Interested Person) designate an independent third party expert in real estate or commercial mortgage loan matters with at least five (5) years’ experience in valuing loans similar to the subject Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole 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 or Serviced Whole Loan. If the Trustee designates such a third party to make such determination, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon such third party’s determination. The reasonable fees of, and the costs of all appraisals, inspection reports and broker opinions of value incurred by any such third party shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable by, the Interested Person; provided that the Trustee will not engage a third party expert whose fees exceed a commercially reasonable amount as determined by the Trustee. The Special Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect payment from such Interested Person. If such expense is not paid by the applicable Interested Person within thirty (30) days of demand for payment, such expense shall be reimbursable to the Trustee by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance but the Special Servicer shall continue to use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect such amounts from the applicable Interested Person. Neither the Trustee, in its individual capacity, nor any of its Affiliates may make an offer for or purchase any Specially Serviced Loan.

 

    -238-

     

    
 

(B)          The Special Servicer will not be obligated to accept the first or highest offer if the Special Servicer determines (subject to the DCH Limitations, in consultation with the Directing Certificateholder (unless a Consultation Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing) and, upon request, the Risk Retention Consultation Party (subject to limitations on the consultation in accordance with Section 6.08) and, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan or an REO Property related to a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holder), in accordance with the Servicing Standard (and subject to the requirements of any related Intercreditor Agreement), that the rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the Holders of Certificates and, in the case of a sale of a Serviced Whole Loan or an REO Property related to a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holder (as a collective whole, as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Companion Holder constituted a single lender and, with respect to a Whole Loan with a Subordinate Companion Loan, taking into account the subordinate nature of such Subordinate Companion Loan). In addition, the Special Servicer may accept a lower offer from any Person other than the Special Servicer or an Affiliate if it determines, in its reasonable and good faith judgment (but in all cases in accordance with the Servicing Standard), that the acceptance of such offer would be in the best interests of the Holders of Certificates and, in the case of a sale of a Serviced Whole Loan or an REO Property related to a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holder (as a collective whole, as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Companion Holder constituted a single lender and, with respect to a Whole Loan with a Subordinate Companion Loan, taking into account the subordinate nature of such Subordinate Companion Loan) (for example, if the prospective buyer making the lower offer is more likely to perform its obligations, or the terms offered by the prospective buyer making the lower offer are more favorable); provided that the offeror is not the Special Servicer or a Person that is an Affiliate of the Special Servicer. The Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to sell all Defaulted Loans prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee shall have no obligation to make any fair value determination, to the extent required to do so pursuant to this Section 3.16, on the basis of anything other than the related Appraisal.

 

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

 

(b)          (i) (A) The Special Servicer may purchase any REO Property at the Purchase Price therefor (in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, such purchase shall be a purchase of the entire REO Property, including the portion relating to the related Companion Loan). The Special Servicer may also offer to sell to any Person any REO Property (in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, such sale shall be a sale of the entire REO Property, including the portion relating to the related Companion Loan), if and when the Special Servicer determines, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that such a sale would be in the best economic interest of the Trust and the related Companion Holders. The Special Servicer shall give the Trustee, the Master Servicer, each

 

    -239-

     

    

 

Companion Holder, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Certificateholder (subject to the DCH Limitations, and prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event), and the Risk Retention Consultation Party, not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice of its intention to (i) purchase any REO Property at the Purchase Price (which Purchase Price will be stated in the related notice) therefor or (ii) sell any REO Property, in which case the Special Servicer shall accept the highest offer received from any Person for any REO Property in an amount at least equal to the Purchase Price therefor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, and subject to the Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer, an Affiliate of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or an Affiliate of the Special Servicer, or an employee of either of them may act as broker in connection with the sale of any REO Property and may retain from the proceeds of such sale a brokerage commission that does not exceed the commission that would have been earned by an independent broker pursuant to a brokerage agreement entered into at arm’s length.

 

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

 

(C)          The Special Servicer shall not be obligated by either of the foregoing paragraphs or otherwise to accept the highest offer if the Special Servicer determines (in consultation with the Directing Certificateholder (unless a Consultation Termination Event exists and subject to the DCH Limitations)), in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holder, and in either case, as a collective whole (taking into account the pari passu or subordinate nature of any Serviced Companion Loans). In addition, the Special Servicer may accept a lower offer if it determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that acceptance of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holder, and in either case, as a collective whole (taking into account the pari passu or subordinate nature of any Serviced Companion Loans) (for example, if the prospective buyer making the lower offer is more likely to perform its obligations, or the terms offered by the prospective buyer making the lower offer are more favorable); provided that the offeror is not the Special Servicer or a Person that is an Affiliate of the Special Servicer.

 

(D)          In determining whether any offer received from an Interested Person represents a fair price for any REO Property, the Trustee shall obtain and may

 

    -240-

     

    

 

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

 

(ii)          Subject to the Servicing Standard, the Special Servicer shall act on behalf of the Trust and the related Companion Holders in negotiating and taking any other action necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of any REO Property, including the collection of all amounts payable in connection therewith. A sale of any REO Property shall be without recourse to, or representation or warranty by, the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Trust (except that any contract of sale and assignment and conveyance documents may contain customary warranties of title, so long as the only recourse for breach thereof is to the Trust) and, if consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Trustee shall have any liability to the Trust or any Certificateholder or related Companion Holder (if applicable) with respect to the purchase price therefor accepted by the Special Servicer or the Trustee.

 

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

 

(d)          With respect to each Serviced Whole Loan, pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, if such Serviced Whole Loan becomes a Defaulted Loan, and if the Special Servicer determines to sell the related Mortgage Loan that has become a Defaulted Loan in accordance with this Section 3.16, then the Special Servicer shall sell each related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (and, if required by the related Intercreditor Agreement, each related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan) together with such Mortgage Loan as one whole loan and shall require that all offers be submitted to the Special Servicer in writing; provided, that with respect to the Sol y Luna Whole Loan, a sale of the Sol y Luna

 

    -241-

     

    

 

Subordinate Companion Loan would require the consent of the holder of the Sol y Luna Subordinate Companion Loan. To the extent a determination is required to be made hereunder as to whether any cash offer constitutes a fair price for a Serviced Whole Loan, such determination shall be made by the Special Servicer unless the offeror is an Interested Person and by the Trustee if the offeror is an Interested Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer will not be permitted to sell the related Mortgage Loan together with the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s) if it becomes a defaulted Whole Loan without the written consent of the holder of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (provided that such consent is not required if the holder of the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan is the Mortgagor or an Affiliate of the Mortgagor) unless the Special Servicer has delivered to the holder of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan: (a) at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior written notice of any decision to attempt to sell such Serviced Whole Loan; (b) at least ten (10) days prior to the permitted sale date, a copy of each bid package (together with any material amendments to such bid packages) received by the Special Servicer in connection with any such proposed sale; (c) at least ten (10) days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of the most recent appraisal for such Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan, and any documents in the servicing file reasonably requested by the holder of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan that are material to the sale price of the Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan; and (d) until the sale is completed, and a reasonable period of time (but no less time than is afforded to other offerors and the Directing Certificateholder) prior to the proposed sale date, all information and other documents being provided to other offerors and all leases or other documents that are approved by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in connection with the proposed sale. The holder of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (or its representative) will be permitted to submit an offer at any sale of such Whole Loan; however, the related Mortgagor and its agents and Affiliates shall not be permitted to submit an offer at such sale. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to each Serviced Whole Loan, the holder of the related Companion Loan may waive any of the delivery or timing requirements set forth in this paragraph with respect to the related Whole Loan. If the Trustee is required to determine whether a cash offer by an Interested Person constitutes a fair price, the Trustee may (at its option and at the expense of the offering Interested Person purchaser) designate an independent third party expert in real estate or commercial mortgage loan matters with at least five (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. The Trustee shall act in a commercially reasonable manner in making such determination. If the Trustee designates such a third party to make such determination, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon such third party’s determination. The reasonable fees of, and the costs of all appraisals, inspection reports and broker opinions of value incurred by any such third party shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable, from the offering Interested Person and the Special Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect payment from such Interested Person. If such expense is not paid by the applicable Interested Person within thirty (30) days of demand for payment, such expense shall be reimbursable to the Trustee by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance but the Special Servicer shall continue to use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect such amounts from the applicable Interested Person.

 

(e)          (i) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.16 to the contrary, pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement, the holder of the related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan for each applicable Serviced Whole Loan will have the right to purchase the

 

    -242-

     

    

 

related Mortgage Loan or related REO Property, as applicable. Such right of the holder of the Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan shall be given priority over any provision described in this Section 3.16 as and to the extent set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement. If the related Mortgage Loan or related REO Property is purchased by the holder of such Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan, repurchased by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller or otherwise ceases to be subject to this Agreement, the related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan will no longer be subject to this Agreement.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(h)          Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Special Servicer shall not acquire for the benefit of the Trust Fund and any related Companion Loan holders any personal property pursuant to this Section 3.16 unless either:

 

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

 

(ii)          the Special Servicer shall have requested and received an Opinion of Counsel (which opinion shall be an expense of the Trust) to the effect that the holding of such personal property by the Lower-Tier REMIC will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event at any time that any Certificate is outstanding.

 

Section 3.17     Additional Obligations of Master Servicer and Special Servicer. (a) The Master Servicer shall deliver all Compensating Interest Payments (other than the portion of any Compensating Interest Payment allocated to a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, which is required to be distributed to the holder thereof by the Master Servicer) to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account on each P&I Advance Date, without any right of reimbursement therefor. The Master Servicer shall deliver the portion of any Compensating Interest Payment allocated to a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan to the Companion Paying Agent for deposit in the Companion Distribution Account on each P&I Advance Date, without any right of reimbursement therefor.

 

(b)          The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide to each Companion Holder any reports or notices required to be delivered to such Companion Holder pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement.

 

    -243-

     

    
 

(c)          Upon the determination that a previously made Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, to the extent that the reimbursement thereof would exceed the full amount of the principal portion of general collections on the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account and available for distribution on the next Distribution Date, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, each at its own option and in its sole discretion, as applicable, instead of obtaining reimbursement for the remaining amount of such Nonrecoverable Advance pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(v) immediately, as an accommodation may elect to defer such reimbursement for such portion of the Nonrecoverable Advance during the Collection Period, for successive one-month periods for a total period not to exceed twelve (12) months (provided that, subject to the DCH Limitations, any such deferral exceeding six (6) months shall require, prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Termination Event, the consent of the Directing Certificateholder), and any election to so defer or not to defer shall be deemed to be in accordance with the Servicing Standard. If the Master Servicer or the Trustee makes such an election at its sole option and in its sole discretion to defer reimbursement with respect to all or a portion of a Nonrecoverable Advance (together with interest thereon), then such Nonrecoverable Advance (together with interest thereon) or portion thereof shall continue to be fully reimbursable in the subsequent collection period (subject, again, to the same sole option to defer; it is acknowledged that, in such a subsequent period, such Nonrecoverable Advance shall again be payable first from principal collections as described above prior to payment from other collections). In connection with a potential election by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee to defer the reimbursement of a particular Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof during the Collection Period for any Distribution Date, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee shall further be authorized to wait for principal collections on the Mortgage Loans to be received until the end of such Collection Period before making its determination of whether to defer the reimbursement of a particular Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof; provided, that if, at any time the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, elects, in its sole discretion, not to defer such reimbursement or otherwise determines that the reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance during a Collection Period will exceed the full amount of the principal portion of general collections on or in respect of Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account for such Distribution Date, then the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall use its reasonable efforts to give the 17g-5 Information Provider fifteen (15) days’ notice of such determination for posting on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(c), unless extraordinary circumstances make such notice impractical, which shall mean that (i) the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, determines in its sole discretion that waiting fifteen (15) days after such a notice could jeopardize its ability to recover such Nonrecoverable Advance, (ii) changed circumstances or new or different information becomes known to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, 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 (i) above, or (iii) the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, has not timely received from the other such party information required by it to determine whether to defer reimbursement for a Nonrecoverable Advance. If any of the circumstances described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of the foregoing sentence apply, the Master Servicer or Trustee, as applicable, shall give the 17g-5 Information Provider a notice for posting of the anticipated reimbursement as soon as reasonably practicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, failure to give notice as required by the preceding or second preceding sentence shall

 

    -244-

     

    

 

in no way affect the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s or the Trustee’s decision to defer such reimbursement or right to obtain such reimbursement as described in this Section 3.17(c). Nothing herein shall give the Master Servicer or the Trustee the right to defer reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance to the extent of any principal collections then available in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(v). The 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 this Section 3.17(c).

 

The foregoing shall not, however, be construed to limit any liability that may otherwise be imposed on such Person for any failure by such Person to comply with the conditions to making such an election under this section or to comply with the terms of this section and the other provisions of this Agreement that apply once such an election, if any, has been made; provided, that the fact that a decision to recover such Nonrecoverable Advances over time, or not to do so, benefits some classes of Certificateholders to the detriment of other classes shall not, with respect to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, constitute a violation of the Servicing Standard and/or with respect to the Trustee (solely in its capacity as Trustee), constitute a violation of any fiduciary duty to Certificateholders or any contractual obligation hereunder. If the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, determines, in its sole discretion, to fully recover the Nonrecoverable Advances immediately instead of deferring such reimbursement, then the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to immediate reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances with interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate from all amounts in the Collection Account for such Distribution Date (deemed first from principal and then interest). Any such election by any such party to refrain from reimbursing itself or obtaining reimbursement for any Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof with respect to any one or more collection periods shall not limit the accrual of interest at the Reimbursement Rate on such Nonrecoverable Advance for the period prior to the actual reimbursement of such Nonrecoverable Advance. The Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s or the Trustee’s, as applicable, agreement to defer reimbursement of such Nonrecoverable Advances as set forth above is an accommodation to the Certificateholders and shall not be construed as an obligation on the part of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, or a right of the Certificateholders. Nothing herein shall be deemed to create in the Certificateholders a right to prior payment of distributions over the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s or the Trustee’s, as applicable, right to reimbursement for Advances (deferred or otherwise) and accrued interest thereon. In all events, the decision to defer reimbursement or to seek immediate reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances shall be deemed to be in accordance with the Servicing Standard and none of the Master Servicer, the Special 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 Holders for any such election that such party makes as contemplated by this section or for any losses, damages or other adverse economic or other effects that may arise from such an election, nor shall such election constitute a violation of the Servicing Standard or any duty under this Agreement. Neither the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer nor the Trustee shall have any liability whatsoever for making an election, or refraining from making an election, that is authorized under this Section 3.17(c).

 

No determination by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, to exercise its sole option to defer the reimbursement of Advances and/or interest thereon under this section shall be construed as an agreement by the Master Servicer, the Special

 

    -245-

     

    

 

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.

 

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

 

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

 

(e)          Within one (1) Business Day after the execution of any amendment or modification of any Intercreditor Agreement, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide to the Certificate Administrator a copy of any such modification or amendment of any Intercreditor Agreement, and such amendment or modification shall be a Reportable Event.

 

Section 3.18     Modifications, Waivers, Amendments and Consents. (a) Modifications, waivers, amendments and consents with respect to the Mortgage Loans shall be processed and consented to by the parties specified in, and subject to the procedures specified in, Section 3.34.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with respect to any relevant modification, waiver or amendment, the Special Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to the extent reasonably possible to cause each modified Serviced Mortgage Loan to fully amortize prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date. The Special Servicer shall not agree to any modification, waiver or amendment that (1) extends the Maturity Date beyond the earlier of (i) five (5) years prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date and (ii) if the related Mortgage Loan is secured solely or primarily by a leasehold estate and not the related fee interest, the date occurring twenty (20) years (or, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard giving due consideration to the remaining term of the Ground Lease and (a) with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and subject to the DCH Limitations), and (b) upon request of the Risk Retention Consultation Party, with non-binding consultation with the Risk Retention Consultation Party within the same time period as it would obtain the consent of, or consult with, the Directing Certificateholder, ten (10) years) prior to the expiration of such leasehold estate plus any options to extend exercisable unilaterally by the Mortgagor; or (2) provides for the deferral of interest unless interest accrues on the Mortgage Loan or the related Serviced Whole Loan at the related Mortgage Rate.

 

    -246-

     

    
 

If a modification, waiver or amendment of any term of a Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan would extend the Maturity Date of such Mortgage Loan and/or related Companion Loan for more than twelve (12) months from and after the original Maturity Date of such Mortgage Loan and/or related Companion Loan and such Mortgage Loan and/or related Companion Loan is not in default or default with respect thereto is not reasonably foreseeable, prior to any such extension, the Master Servicer shall (1) provide the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, each related Other Master Servicer, each related Other Trustee and (prior to the occurrence and during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event and subject to the DCH Limitations) the Directing Certificateholder, and the Risk Retention Consultation Party (other than with respect to an Excluded RRCP Loan) with an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the related Mortgagor to the extent permitted under the Mortgage Loan documents and, if not required or permitted to be paid by the Mortgagor, to be paid as an expense of the Trust in accordance with Section 3.11(d)) that such extension would not constitute a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan and/or Serviced Companion Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) and (2) subject to the Servicing Standard, (A) prior to the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event (subject to the DCH Limitations) obtain the consent of the Directing Certificateholder; (B) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, but prior to a Consultation Termination Event (subject to the DCH Limitations) consult with the Directing Certificateholder pursuant to Section 6.08 hereof; and (C) unless an Excluded RRCP Loan is involved, consult with the Risk Retention Consultation Party pursuant to Section 6.08.

 

Subject to Section 6.08, applicable law and the Mortgage Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan documents, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall permit the substitution of any Mortgaged Property (or any portion thereof) for one or more other parcels of real property at any time the Mortgage Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan is not in default pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan documents or default with respect thereto is not reasonably foreseeable unless (i) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, obtains Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency (and delivers such Rating Agency Confirmation to the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party, if permitted by the applicable Rating Agency) and a confirmation of any applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities (if any) (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25) and (ii) such substitution would not be a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) or otherwise cause an Adverse REMIC Event (and the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, may obtain and rely upon an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the related Mortgagor if not prohibited by the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents, and if so prohibited, at the expense of the Trust) with respect thereto).

 

In connection with (i) the release of a Mortgaged Property (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property), or any portion of such Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage or (ii) the taking of a Mortgaged Property (other than any Non-Serviced

 

    -247-

     

    

 

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

 

If, following any such release or taking, the loan-to-value ratio as so calculated is greater than 125%, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall require payment of principal by a “qualified amount” as determined under Revenue Procedure 2010-30 or successor provisions, unless the related Mortgagor provides an Opinion of Counsel that if such amount is not paid the related Mortgage Loan will not fail to be a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code.

 

(b)          If the Special Servicer determines that a modification, waiver or amendment (including, without limitation, the forgiveness or deferral of interest or principal or the substitution of collateral pursuant to the terms of a Serviced Mortgage Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan or otherwise, the release of collateral or the pledge of additional collateral) of the terms of a Specially Serviced Loan (with respect to which a payment default or other material default has occurred or a payment default or other material default is, in the Special Servicer’s judgment, reasonably foreseeable (as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of the Special Servicer)) is reasonably likely to produce a greater (or equivalent) recovery on a net present value basis (the relevant discounting to be performed at the related Mortgage Rate) to the Trust and, if applicable, the Companion Holders, as the holders of the related Serviced Companion Loan, than liquidation of such Specially Serviced Loan, then the Special Servicer may agree to a modification, waiver or amendment of such Specially Serviced Loan, subject to (x) the provisions of Section 3.18(a), this Section 3.18(b) and Section 3.18(c), (y) with respect to any Major Decision (a) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and subject to the DCH Limitations, the approval of the Directing Certificateholder (or after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, but prior to a Consultation Termination Event (and subject to the DCH Limitations), upon consultation with the Directing Certificateholder) and (b) upon request of the Risk Retention Consultation Party, non-binding consultation with the Risk Retention Consultation Party (within the same time period as it would obtain the approval of, or consult with, the Directing Certificateholder); provided that with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a related Serviced AB Control Appraisal Period, the approval of the holder of the related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan will be required to the extent set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement and the Directing Certificateholder shall have no consent or consultation rights regarding the matter; and (z) the rights of any related Serviced Companion Noteholder or any related mezzanine lender, to advise or consult with the Special Servicer with respect to, or consent to, such modification, waiver or amendment, in each case, pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement or mezzanine intercreditor agreement, as applicable; provided that in the case of any release or substitution of collateral (other than a defeasance), the Special Servicer shall have obtained an Opinion of Counsel that such release or substitution would not be a “significant modification” of

 

    -248-

     

    

 

the Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) or otherwise cause an Adverse REMIC Event. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any Excluded Loan (regardless of whether an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing), the Special Servicer shall consult with the Operating Advisor, on a non-binding basis, in connection with the related transactions involving proposed Major Decisions and consider alternative actions recommended by the Operating Advisor, in respect thereof, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6.08 for consulting with the Operating Advisor.

 

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

 

(d)          To the extent consistent with this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 3.18(a) and Section 6.08), the Master Servicer (as provided in Section 3.01(a), Section 3.08(a), Section 3.08(b) and Section 3.18 and subject to the Special Servicer’s processing and consent procedures specified in Section 3.34) or the Special Servicer may, consistent with the Servicing Standard, agree to any waiver, modification or amendment of a Mortgage Loan and/or Serviced Companion Loan that is not in default or as to which default is not reasonably foreseeable only if the contemplated waiver, modification or amendment (i) will not be a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) and (ii) will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event. In making this determination, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer may obtain and rely upon (and shall provide to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator if obtained) an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the related Mortgagor or such other Person requesting such modification or, if such expense cannot be collected from the related Mortgagor or such other Person, to be paid out of the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a); provided that the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall use its reasonable efforts to collect such fee from the Mortgagor or such other Person to the extent permitted under the related Mortgage Loan documents). Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer may waive the payment of any Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge or the requirement that any prepayment of a Mortgage Loan be made on a Due Date, or if not made on a Due Date, be accompanied by all interest that would be due on the next Due Date with respect to any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan that is not a Specially Serviced Loan.

 

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

 

    -249-

     

    

 

reasonable or customary fee, for the additional services performed in connection with such request; provided that the charging of such fee is not a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b).

 

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

 

(g)          With respect to any modification, waiver or amendment that it is responsible for processing pursuant to Section 3.34, the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, shall notify the Special Servicer (if such action is processed by the Master Servicer), the Master Servicer (if such action is processed by the Special Servicer), the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor (after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event), the Directing Certificateholder (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event and subject to the DCH Limitations), the applicable Companion Holder (unless, with respect to a holder of a Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan, a Serviced AB Control Appraisal Period has occurred, if applicable), the Risk Retention Consultation Party (other than with respect to any Excluded RRCP Loan) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post such notice on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(c)) in writing of any modification, waiver or amendment (in each case, after it is finalized and executed) of any term of any Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan that is modified, waived or amended and the date thereof. The party that is responsible for processing such action shall deliver to the Custodian with a copy to the Master Servicer (if such notice is being delivered by the Special Servicer) for deposit in the related Mortgage File, an original counterpart of the agreement relating to such modification, waiver or amendment, promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days) following the execution thereof and, if required by the related Intercreditor Agreement, with a copy to the applicable Companion Holder, if any. Following receipt of the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as applicable, delivery of the aforesaid modification, waiver or amendment to the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Administrator shall forward a copy thereof to each Holder of a Certificate (other than the Class R Certificates). With respect to the processing of any modification, waiver or consent related to any Mortgagor incurring Additional Debt or mezzanine debt, the Special Servicer (if the Special Servicer processes such modification, waiver or consent pursuant to Section 3.34) or the Master Servicer (if the Master Servicer processes such modification, waiver or consent pursuant to Section 3.34) shall, on or before the later of (i) 3:00 p.m. on the related P&I Advance Date and (ii) five (5) Business Days immediately following the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, obtaining actual knowledge of the incurrence of such Additional Debt or mezzanine debt, deliver notice of the Mortgagor’s incurrence of such debt, substantially in the form of Exhibit KK, to cts.sec.notifications@wellsfargo.com and an Additional Disclosure Notification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit EE.

    -250-

     

    

 

Investor Reporting Package is amended to include such information set forth above, in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer, Special Servicer and Certificate Administrator, as applicable, and the Master Servicer confirms with the Certificate Administrator that such amended CREFC® Investor Reporting Package enables the Certificate Administrator to include such information on Form 10-D in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Certificate Administrator, or (ii) the Trust is no longer subject to the Exchange Act, the additional report in the form of Exhibit KK shall no longer be required hereunder. From time to time, the Master Servicer, Special Servicer and Certificate Administrator may agree on a different delivery time and format for the information set forth in this paragraph.

 

(h)          Subject to the processing and consent procedures specified in Section 3.34 with respect to Major Decisions and Special Servicer Decisions, the Master Servicer shall process all defeasances of Serviced Mortgage Loans and Serviced Companion Loans in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents, and shall be entitled to any defeasance fees paid relating thereto; provided, that any such defeasance fee shall not include any Modification Fees or waiver fees in connection with a defeasance that the Special Servicer is entitled to under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall not permit (or, with regard to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, take any act in furtherance of) the substitution of any Mortgaged Property pursuant to the defeasance provisions of any Mortgage Loan or a Serviced Whole Loan unless such defeasance complies with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii) and the Master Servicer has received (i) replacement collateral consisting of government securities within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii), which satisfies the requirements of the applicable Mortgage Loan documents, in an amount sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the related Mortgage Loan (or defeased portion thereof) when due, (ii) a certificate of an Independent certified public accountant to the effect that such substituted property will provide cash flows sufficient to meet all payments of interest and principal (including payments at maturity) on such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan in compliance with the requirements of the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents and, if applicable, Companion Loan documents, (iii) one or more Opinions of Counsel (at the expense of the related Mortgagor) to the effect that the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, will have a first priority perfected security interest in such substituted Mortgaged Property; provided, that, to the extent consistent with the related Mortgage Loan documents and, if applicable, Companion Loan documents, the related Mortgagor shall pay the cost of any such opinion as a condition to granting such defeasance, (iv) to the extent consistent with the related Mortgage Loan documents and, if applicable, Companion Loan documents, the Mortgagor shall establish a single purpose entity to act as a successor mortgagor, if so required by the Rating Agencies, (v) to the extent permissible under the related Mortgage Loan documents and, if applicable, Companion Loan documents, the Master Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to require the related Mortgagor to pay all costs of such defeasance, including but not limited to the cost of maintaining any successor mortgagor, and (vi) to the extent permissible under the Mortgage Loan documents and, if applicable, Companion Loan documents, the Master Servicer shall obtain, at the expense of the related Mortgagor, Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and a confirmation of any applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities (if any) (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25); provided, further, that no such

 

    -251-

     

    

 

confirmation from any Rating Agency shall be required to the extent that the Master Servicer has delivered a defeasance certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit U hereto for any Mortgage Loan that (together with any Mortgage Loans cross-collateralized with such Mortgage Loans) is: (i) a Mortgage Loan with a Cut-off Date Balance less than $35,000,000, (ii) a Mortgage Loan that represents less than 5% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of all Mortgage Loans, and (iii) a Mortgage Loan that is not one of the ten largest Mortgage Loans by Stated Principal Balance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that requiring the Mortgagor to pay for the items specified in clauses (ii), (iv) and (v) in the preceding sentence would be inconsistent with the related Mortgage Loan documents, such reasonable costs shall be paid by the related Mortgage Loan Seller as and to the extent set forth in the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.

 

(i)           Notwithstanding anything herein or in the related Mortgage Loan documents and, if applicable, Companion Loan documents, to the contrary, the Master Servicer may permit the substitution of “government securities,” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, that comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii) for any Mortgaged Property pursuant to the defeasance provisions of any Mortgage Loan or a Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable (or any portion thereof), in lieu of the defeasance collateral specified in the related Mortgage Loan documents or Serviced Whole Loan documents, as applicable; provided that such substitution is consistent with the Servicing Standard and the Master Servicer (subject to the Special Servicer’s processing and/or consent rights pursuant to Section 3.34) reasonably determines that allowing their use would not cause a default or event of default to become reasonably foreseeable and the Master Servicer receives an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the Mortgagor to the extent permitted under the Mortgage Loan documents and, if applicable or Companion Loan documents or otherwise as a Trust Fund expense) to the effect that such use would not be and would not constitute a “significant modification” of such Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) and would not otherwise constitute an Adverse REMIC Event with respect to any Trust REMIC; provided, further, that the requirements set forth in Section 3.18(h) (including receipt of any Rating Agency Confirmation) are satisfied; provided, further, that such securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government, or the Master Servicer shall obtain Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and a confirmation of any applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities (if any) (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25).

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the Serviced Mortgage Loans originated or acquired by Morgan Stanley Mortgage Capital Holdings LLC (“MSMCH”) and subject to defeasance, MSMCH has retained the right of the lender under the Mortgage Loan documents to (i) receive a percentage of the economic benefit associated with the ownership of the successor borrower, (ii) designate and establish the successor borrower and (iii) purchase (or cause the purchase on behalf of the related borrower of) the related defeasance collateral (“MSMCH Seller Defeasance Rights and Obligations”). If the Master Servicer receives notice of a defeasance request with respect to a Serviced Mortgage Loan originated or acquired by MSMCH and subject to defeasance, the Master Servicer shall not take any action with respect to such MSMCH Seller Defeasance Rights and Obligations and shall provide, within five (5) Business Days of receipt of

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Master Servicer permit such amounts to be maintained in the Collection Account for a period in excess of 365 days (or 366 days in the case of a leap year).

 

(k)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall, unless it has received Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and a confirmation of any applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities (if any) (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25) (the cost of which shall be paid by the related Mortgagor, if so allowed by the terms of the related loan documents and otherwise paid out of general collections) grant or accept any consent, approval or direction regarding the termination of the related property manager or the designation of any replacement property manager, with respect to any Mortgaged Property that secures a Mortgage Loan that (i) is one of the ten largest Mortgage Loans a by Stated Principal Balance or (ii) has an unpaid principal balance that is at least equal to five percent (5%) of the then-aggregate principal balance of all Mortgage Loans or $35,000,000.

(l)        
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in connection with any modification, waiver, consent or amendment
constituting a Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision, in connection with any release of collateral securing any Mortgage
Loan in connection with a defeasance of such collateral, the Special Servicer shall not approve any such modification, waiver
or amendment or consent thereto without first having received a copy of an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Special Servicer
and the Master Servicer that such modification, waiver, consent or amendment will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event to the extent
the Special Servicer determines in its reasonable good faith judgment consistent with the Servicing Standard that such Opinion
of Counsel is reasonably necessary.

Section
3.19    Transfer of Servicing Between Master Servicer and Special Servicer; Recordkeeping; Asset Status Report. (a)
Upon determining that a Servicing Transfer Event has occurred with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion
Loan, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall promptly give notice to the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as applicable, the Operating Advisor and (prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event and subject to
the DCH Limitations) the Directing Certificateholder thereof, and the Master Servicer shall deliver the related Mortgage File
and Servicing File to the Special Servicer and concurrently provide a copy of such Servicing File, exclusive of all Privileged
Communications, to the Operating Advisor. The Master Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to provide the Special Servicer
with all information, documents and records (including records stored electronically on computer tapes, magnetic discs and the
like) relating to such Mortgage Loan and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan, either in the Master Servicer’s
possession or otherwise available to the Master Servicer without undue burden or expense, and reasonably requested by the Special
Servicer to enable it to assume its functions hereunder with respect thereto. The Master Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts
to comply with the preceding sentence within five (5) Business Days of the occurrence of each related Servicing Transfer Event
(or, in the case of clauses (viii), (ix) or (x) of the definition of Servicing Transfer Event, within five
(5) Business Days of receiving notice from the Special Servicer of such Servicing Transfer Event when the Special Servicer makes
the determination) and in any event shall continue to act as Master Servicer and administrator of such Mortgage Loan and, if applicable,
the related Serviced Companion Loan until the Special Servicer has commenced the servicing of such Mortgage Loan and, if applicable,
the related Serviced Companion Loan. The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating
Advisor, and (prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event and subject to the DCH Limitations) the Directing Certificateholder,
a copy of the notice of such Servicing Transfer Event provided by the Master Servicer to the Special Servicer, or by the Special
Servicer to the Master Servicer, pursuant to this Section 3.19. Prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event,
the Certificate Administrator shall deliver to each Controlling Class Certificateholder a copy of the notice of such Servicing
Transfer Event provided by the Master Servicer pursuant to this Section 3.19.

Upon
determining that a Specially Serviced Loan (other than an REO Loan) has become current and has remained current for three consecutive
Periodic Payments (provided that (i) no additional Servicing Transfer Event is foreseeable in the reasonable judgment of
the Special Servicer, and (ii) for such purposes taking into account any modification or amendment of such Mortgage Loan and,
if applicable, the related Companion Loan), and that no other Servicing Transfer Event is continuing with respect thereto, the
Special Servicer shall immediately give 

    -255-

     

    

notice
thereof to the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the related Serviced Companion Noteholder (unless, with respect to a Serviced
Subordinate Companion Loan, a Serviced AB Control Appraisal Period has occurred) and (prior to the occurrence of a Consultation
Termination Event and subject to the DCH Limitations) the Directing Certificateholder and shall return the related Mortgage File
and Servicing File to the Master Servicer (or copies thereof if copies only were delivered to the Special Servicer) and upon giving
such notice, and returning such Mortgage File and Servicing File to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer’s obligation
to service such Corrected Loan shall terminate and the obligations of the Master Servicer to service and administer such Mortgage
Loan and, if applicable, the related Companion Loan shall recommence.

(b) 
       In servicing any Specially Serviced Loans and Serviced Companion Loans, the Special Servicer will provide
to the Custodian originals of documents included within the definition of “Mortgage File” for inclusion in the related
Mortgage File to the extent within its possession (with a copy of each such original to the Master Servicer), and provide the
Master Servicer with copies of any additional related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan information including correspondence
with the related Mortgagor.

(c)         
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.12(c), the Master Servicer shall maintain ongoing payment records with respect
to each of the Specially Serviced Loans, Serviced Companion Loans and REO Properties (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced
Mortgage Loan) and shall provide the Special Servicer with any information in its possession with respect to such records to enable
the Special Servicer to perform its duties under this Agreement; provided that this statement shall not be construed to
require the Master Servicer to produce any additional reports.

(d) 
        No later than sixty (60) days after a Servicing Transfer Event for a Serviced Mortgage Loan and, if
applicable, the related Companion Loan (the “Initial Delivery Date”), the Special Servicer shall deliver a
report in electronic format (the “Asset
Status Report”) with
respect to such Mortgage Loan and related Companion Loan, if applicable, and the related Mortgaged Property to the Directing Certificateholder
(prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event and subject to the DCH Limitations). Subsequent to the issuance of
a Final Asset Status Report, to the extent that during the course of the resolution of such Specially Serviced Loan material changes
in the strategy reflected in the initial Final Asset Status Report (or subsequent Final Asset Status Reports) are determined by
the Special Servicer to be necessary to reflect the then current circumstances and recommendation as to how the Specially Serviced
Loan might be returned to performing status or otherwise liquidated in accordance with the Servicing Standard, the Special Servicer
shall amend, update or create a new Asset Status Report with respect to such Specially Serviced Loan (each such report a “Subsequent
Asset Status Report”). The Special Servicer shall deliver each Final Asset Status Report in electronic form to: (i)
the Master Servicer, (ii) the Directing Certificateholder (prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event and subject
to the DCH Limitations), (iii) the Operating Advisor and (iv) the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post such report
on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(c)) and, with respect to any related
Serviced Companion Loan, to the related Companion Holder or, to the extent the related Serviced Companion Loan has been included
in an Other Securitization, to the master servicer of such Other Securitization into which the related Serviced Companion Loan
has been sold; the Special Servicer shall also deliver a summary of each Final Asset Status Report to the Certificate Administrator
and the Certificate

    -256-

     

    
Administrator
shall post the summary of the Final Asset Status Report to the Certificate Administrator’s Website. In no event shall the
Master Servicer post any Asset Status Report or Final Asset Status Report to its website. None of the parties to this Agreement
shall provide any Asset Status Report or any Final Asset Status Report to the Certificate Administrator. Such Asset Status Report
shall set forth the following information to the extent reasonably determinable based on the information that was delivered to
the Special Servicer in connection with the transfer of servicing pursuant to the Servicing Transfer Event:

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

(ii) 
       a discussion of the legal and environmental considerations reasonably known to the Special Servicer,
consistent with the Servicing Standard, that are applicable to the exercise of remedies as aforesaid and to the enforcement of
any related guaranties or other collateral for the related Mortgage Loan (and any related Serviced Companion 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;

(iv)        (A) the Special Servicer’s recommendations on how such Specially Serviced Loan might be returned to
performing status (including the modification of a monetary term, and any workout, restructure or debt forgiveness) and returned
to the Master Servicer for regular servicing or otherwise realized upon (including any proposed sale of a Defaulted Loan or REO
Property), (B) a description of any such proposed or taken actions, and (C) the alternative courses of action that were or are
being considered by the Special Servicer in connection with the proposed or taken actions;

(v) 
       the status of any foreclosure actions or other proceedings undertaken with respect to the Specially
Serviced Loan, any proposed workouts and the status of any negotiations with respect to such workouts, and an assessment of the
likelihood of additional defaults under the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan;

(vi) 
      a description of any amendment, modification or waiver of a material term of any ground lease (or
any space lease or air rights lease, if applicable) or franchise agreement;

(vii) 
     the decision that the Special Servicer made, or intends or proposes to make, including a narrative analysis
setting forth the Special Servicer’s rationale for its proposed decision, including its rejection of the alternatives;

(viii)  
    an analysis of whether or not taking such proposed action is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery
on a present value basis than not taking such action, setting forth (x) the basis on which the Special Servicer made such determination
and (y) the net present value calculation and all related assumptions;

(ix) 
      the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property (and a copy of the last obtained Appraisal of
such Mortgaged Property) together with a description of any

    -257-

     

    

adjustments
to the valuation of such Mortgaged Property made by the Special Servicer together with an explanation of those adjustments; and

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

If
within ten (10) Business Days of receiving an Asset Status Report, the Directing Certificateholder (subject to the DCH Limitations)
does not disapprove such Asset Status Report in writing or if the Special Servicer makes a determination, in accordance with the
Servicing Standard that the disapproval by the Directing Certificateholder (communicated to the Special Servicer within ten (10)
Business Days) is not in the best interest of all the Certificateholders and the holder of any related Companion Loan, as a collective
whole, the Special Servicer shall implement the recommended action as outlined in such Asset Status Report; provided, that
the Special Servicer may not take any action that is contrary to applicable law, the Servicing Standard or the terms of the applicable
Mortgage Loan documents. If, with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan (prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control
Termination Event and subject to the DCH Limitations), the Directing Certificateholder disapproves such Asset Status Report within
ten (10) Business Days of receipt and the Special Servicer has not made the affirmative determination described above, the Special
Servicer shall revise such Asset Status Report and deliver a new Asset Status Report as soon as practicable, but in no event later
than thirty (30) days after such disapproval, to the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing
Certificateholder (prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event and, in the case of a Serviced AB Whole Loan, only
prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event and during a Serviced AB Control Appraisal Period with respect to
the related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan), the Operating Advisor (but only after the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post such report on the 17g-5
Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(c)). With respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan,
prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Termination Event and subject to the DCH Limitations, the Special Servicer
shall revise such Asset Status Report as described above in this Section 3.19(d) until the Directing Certificateholder
shall fail to disapprove such revised Asset Status Report in writing within ten (10) Business Days of receiving such revised Asset
Status Report or until the Special Servicer makes a determination, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that the disapproval
is not in the best interests of the Certificateholders and the holder of any related Companion Loan, as a collective whole; provided
that, if the Directing Certificateholder has not approved the Asset Status Report for a period of sixty (60) Business Days
following the first submission of an Asset Status Report, the Special Servicer may act upon the most recently submitted form of
Asset Status Report, if consistent with the Servicing Standard; provided, that such Asset Status Report does not, and is
not intended to be, a substitute for the approvals that are specifically required pursuant to Section 6.08. The procedures
described in this paragraph are collectively referred to herein as the “Directing Certificateholder Asset Status Report
Approval Process”. Prior to an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, the Special Servicer shall deliver each Final Asset
Status Report to the Operating Advisor at the conclusion of the Directing Certificateholder Asset Status Report Approval Process.

The
Special Servicer may, from time to time, modify any Asset Status Report it has previously delivered and implement such report;
provided that such report shall have been 

    -258-

     

    

prepared,
reviewed and not rejected pursuant to the terms of this Section 3.19(d). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
with respect to any Excluded Loan (regardless of whether an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing),
the Special Servicer shall consult with the Operating Advisor, on a non-binding basis, in connection with an Asset Status Report
for an Excluded Loan which includes a Major Decision and consider alternative actions recommended by the Operating Advisor, in
respect thereof, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6.08 for consulting with the Operating Advisor.

Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, no direction or disapproval of the Directing Certificateholder hereunder or under a
related Intercreditor Agreement or failure of the Directing Certificateholder to consent to or approve (including any deemed consents
or approvals) any request of the Special Servicer, shall (a) require or cause the Special Servicer to violate the terms of a Specially
Serviced Loan, applicable law or any provision of this Agreement, including the Special Servicer’s obligation to act in
accordance with the Servicing Standard and to maintain the REMIC status of each Trust REMIC and the grantor trust status of the
Grantor Trust, or (b) result in the imposition of a “prohibited transaction” or “prohibited contribution”
tax under the REMIC Provisions, or (c) expose the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Operating Advisor,
the Mortgage Loan Sellers, the Trust, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or their respective officers, directors, members,
employees or agents to any claim, suit or liability or (d) materially expand the scope of the Special Servicer’s, Trustee’s
or the Master Servicer’s responsibilities under this Agreement.

If
an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing, the Special Servicer shall promptly deliver each Asset
Status Report prepared in connection with a Specially Serviced Loan to the Operating Advisor, the Directing Certificateholder
(for so long as no Consultation Termination Event has occurred and subject to the DCH Limitations) and the Risk Retention Consultation
Party. The Operating Advisor shall provide comments to the Special Servicer in respect of the Asset Status Report, if any, within
ten (10) Business Days following the later of (i) receipt of such Asset Status Report or (ii) receipt of such additional information
reasonably requested by the Operating Advisor related thereto, and propose possible alternative courses of action to the extent
it determines such alternatives to be in the best interest of the Certificateholders (including any Certificateholders that are
holders of the Control Eligible Certificates), as a collective whole. The Special Servicer shall consider such alternative courses
of action and any other feedback provided by the Operating Advisor (and, subject to the DCH Limitations, if a Control Termination
Event exists, but so long as no Consultation Termination Event has occurred, by the Directing Certificateholder) in connection
with the Special Servicer’s preparation of any Asset Status Report. The Special Servicer may revise the Asset Status Report
as it deems necessary to take into account any input and/or comments received in response from the Operating Advisor or the Directing
Certificateholder, to the extent the Special Servicer determines that the Operating Advisor’s and/or Directing Certificateholder’s
input and/or recommendations are consistent with the Servicing Standard and in the best interest of the Certificateholders as
a collective whole (or, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, the best interest of the Certificateholders and the holders of
the related Companion Loan, as a collective whole (taking into account the pari passu or subordinate nature of such Companion
Loan)). Promptly upon determining whether or not to revise any Asset Status Report to take into account any input and/or comments
from the Operating Advisor or the Directing Certificateholder, the Special Servicer shall revise the Asset Status Report, if applicable,
and deliver to the Operating 

    -259-

     

    

Advisor
and the Directing Certificateholder the revised Asset Status Report (until a Final Asset Status Report is issued). The procedures
described in this paragraph are collectively referred to as the “ASR Consultation Process”. If an Operating
Advisor Consultation Event (based solely on clause (i) of the definition thereof) exists and a Control Termination Event does
not exist, then the Directing Certificateholder Asset Status Report Approval Process and the ASR Consultation Process shall both
be in effect.

After
the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event (and at any time that the Directing Certificateholder
is restricted by the DCH Limitations), the Directing Certificateholder shall have no right to consent to any Asset Status Report
under this Section 3.19. After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event but prior to the
occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder (subject to the DCH Limitations) shall be entitled
to, and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, the Operating Advisor shall,
consult with the Special Servicer (electronically or telephonically) and may propose alternative courses of action and provide
such other feedback as the Directing Certificateholder or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, determines in respect of any Asset
Status Report. After the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event (and at any time if the Directing Certificateholder is
restricted by the DCH Limitations), the Directing Certificateholder (other than in its capacity as a Certificateholder) shall
have no right to receive any Asset Status Report or otherwise consult with the Special Servicer with respect to Asset Status Reports
and the Special Servicer shall only be obligated to consult with the Operating Advisor with respect to any Asset Status Report
as described above. The Special Servicer may choose to revise the Asset Status Report as it deems reasonably necessary in accordance
with the Servicing Standard to take into account any input and/or recommendations of the Operating Advisor or the Directing Certificateholder
during the applicable periods described above, but is under no obligation to follow any particular recommendation of the Operating
Advisor or the Directing Certificateholder or to revise the Asset Status Report based on any input or comments from the Operating
Advisor or the Directing Certificateholder or to take or refrain from taking any action, comment or recommendation by the Operating
Advisor or the Directing Certificateholder.

Notwithstanding
the foregoing, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Serviced AB Control Appraisal Period with respect to a Serviced Subordinate
Companion Loan, the Special Servicer shall prepare an Asset Status Report for any Serviced AB Whole Loan, within 60 days of it
becoming a Specially Serviced Loan pursuant to this Agreement and the related Intercreditor Agreement, but the Directing Certificateholder
will have no approval rights over any such Asset Status Report, and the consent or approval rights with respect to such Asset
Status Report shall be as set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement.

In
the case of an Asset Status Report relating to a Servicing Shift Whole Loan, (i) the holder of the related Servicing Shift Control
Note shall have all of the rights that the Directing Certificateholder has prior to a Control Termination Event with respect to
other Serviced Mortgage Loans, and (ii) the Special Servicer shall be required to obtain the consent of the holder of the related
Servicing Shift Control Note to the same extent as it is required to obtain the consent of the Directing Certificateholder prior
to a Control Termination Event with respect to other Serviced Mortgage Loans.

    -260-

     

    

(e) 
         (i) Upon receiving notice of the occurrence of the events described in clause (iv) or (x)
of the definition of Servicing Transfer Event (without regard to the 60-day or 30-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 Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan and reasonably requested by the
Special Servicer to enable it to negotiate with the related Mortgagor. 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.

(ii) 
      After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, upon receiving
notice of the occurrence of an event described in clause (iv) or (x) of the definition of Servicing Transfer Event
(without regard to the 60-day or 30-day period, respectively, set forth therein), the Master Servicer shall deliver notice thereof
to the Operating Advisor at the same time such notice is provided to the Special Servicer pursuant to clause (i) above.

(f) 
         Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and subject to the DCH
Limitations, no later than two (2) Business Days following the establishment of a Final Asset Status Report with respect to any
Specially Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer shall deliver in electronic format to the Directing Certificateholder a draft notice
that will include a draft summary of the Final Asset Status Report (which briefly summarizes such Final Asset Status Report, but
shall not include any Privileged Information) (and shall deliver each Final Asset Status Report with respect to a Serviced AB
Mortgage Loan prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Serviced AB Control Appraisal Period (to the extent approved by the
related Serviced AB Whole Loan Controlling Holder), to the Directing Certificateholder). Prior to the occurrence and continuance
of a Control Termination Event and subject to the DCH Limitations, if, within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such draft
summary, the Directing Certificateholder approves of, or does not disapprove of such draft summary, then the Special Servicer
shall deliver in electronic format such notice and summary of the Final Asset Status Report to the Certificate Administrator for
posting on the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(b). If the Directing Certificateholder
affirmatively disapproves of such summary in writing, then within two (2) Business Days of receipt of such disapproval, the Special
Servicer shall revise the summary and deliver such new summary to the Directing Certificateholder until the Directing Certificateholder
approves such draft summary; provided, that if the Directing Certificateholder has not approved of the draft summary of
the Final Asset Status Report within twenty (20) Business Days of receipt of the initial draft summary of the Final Asset Status
Report, then the most recent draft summary of the Final Asset Status Report delivered by the Special Servicer prior to such 20th
Business Day shall be deemed to be the final summary of the Final Asset Status Report; provided, further, that if
at any time the Special Servicer determines that any affirmative disapproval of such draft summary by the Directing Certificateholder
is not in the best interest of all the Certificateholders pursuant to the Servicing Standard, the Special Servicer shall deliver
in electronic format such notice and summary of the Final Asset Status Report to the Certificate Administrator for posting on
the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(b) notwithstanding such disapproval. The Special
Servicer shall promptly deliver (but in any event no later than two (2) Business Days following its completion) a copy of each
Final Asset Status Report to the Operating Advisor. The Special Servicer shall prepare a summary of any Final Asset Status Report
related to any Serviced AB Whole Loan for which the related holder of a Serviced 

    -261-

     

    
Subordinate
Companion Loan is not subject to a Serviced AB Control Appraisal Period, which Final Asset Status Report has been approved or
deemed approved by the holder of the related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan in accordance with the related Intercreditor
Agreement (to the extent such Intercreditor Agreement requires such approval or deemed approval), and deliver in electronic format
notice of such Final Asset Status Report and the summary of such Final Asset Status Report to the Certificate Administrator for
posting on the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(b).

(g) 
       No provision of this Section 3.19 shall require the Special Servicer to take or to refrain from
taking any action because of any proposal, objection or comment by the Operating Advisor or a recommendation of the Operating
Advisor.

Section
3.20    Sub-Servicing Agreements. (a)
The Master Servicer and, subject to the consent of the Directing Certificateholder (prior to the occurrence and continuance of
a Control Termination Event (subject to the DCH Limitations)), the Special Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements to
provide for the performance by third parties of any or all of its respective obligations hereunder; provided that the Sub-Servicing
Agreement as amended or modified: (i) is consistent with this Agreement in all material respects and requires the Sub-Servicer
to comply with all of the applicable conditions of this Agreement; (ii) provides that if the Master Servicer or Special Servicer,
as applicable, shall for any reason no longer act in such capacity hereunder (including, without limitation, by reason of a Servicer
Termination Event), the Trustee or its designee shall thereupon assume all of the rights and, except to the extent they arose
prior to the date of assumption, obligations of such party under such agreement, or, alternatively, may act in accordance with
Section 7.02 hereof under the circumstances described therein (subject to Section 3.20(g) hereof); (iii) provides
that the Trustee (for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the related Companion Holder (if applicable) and the Trustee (as

shall have any duties under such Sub-Servicing Agreement or any liabilities arising therefrom; (iv) permits any purchaser of a

    -262-

     

    
Servicer
(which consent may be obtained by the related Sub-Servicer directly from the Special Servicer or through the Master Servicer);
(viii) with respect to any Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into after the Closing Date, if such Sub-Servicer is a Servicing Function

not a Prohibited Party; (ix) shall be terminable if at any time the related Sub-Servicer is a Risk Retention Affiliate of the

provides that the Sub-Servicer shall be in default under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement and such Sub-Servicing Agreement

due date any Exchange Act reporting items required to be delivered to the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the
Depositor under ARTICLE XI or under the Sub-Servicing Agreement or to the master servicer under any other pooling and servicing
agreement that the Depositor is a party to, or (B) to perform in any material respect any of its covenants or obligations contained
in the Sub-Servicing Agreement regarding creating, obtaining or delivering any Exchange Act reporting items required for any party
to this Agreement to perform its obligations under ARTICLE XI or under the Exchange Act reporting items required under
any other pooling and servicing agreement to which the Depositor is a party. 

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

    -263-

     

    
be
deemed to have received any payment when a Sub-Servicer retained by it receives such payment. The Master Servicer or Special Servicer,
as applicable, shall notify the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, the Trustee and the Depositor (and the
Special Servicer shall notify the Operating Advisor) in writing promptly of the appointment by it of any Sub-Servicer, except
that the Master Servicer need not provide such notice as to the Initial Sub-Servicing Agreements.

Except
with respect to the Special Servicer, no party shall enter into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with a Sub-Servicer that is a Risk Retention
Affiliate of the Successor Third-Party Purchaser if such Sub-Servicer would be a servicer as contemplated by Item 1108(a)(2) of
Regulation AB. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the parties to this Agreement, absent actual knowledge to the contrary,
may conclusively rely upon a representation of any Initial Sub-Servicer that such Sub-Servicer is not, to its actual knowledge,
a Risk Retention Affiliate of the Successor Third-Party Purchaser. If at any time a party to this transaction obtains actual knowledge
that such Sub-Servicer is a servicer as contemplated by Item 1108(a)(2) of Regulation AB and is a Risk Retention Affiliate of
the Successor Third-Party Purchaser, such party shall terminate such Sub-Servicer in accordance with the related Sub-Servicing
Agreement.

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

(c)         
As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer for the benefit of the Trustee and
the Certificateholders, shall (at no expense to the Trustee, the Certificateholders or the Trust) monitor the performance and
enforce the obligations of each of its Sub-Servicers under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, except that the Master Servicer
shall be required only to use reasonable efforts to cause any Initial Sub-Servicer to comply with the requirements of ARTICLE
XI hereof. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of Sub-Servicing
Agreements in accordance with their respective terms and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and
carried out to such an extent and at such time as is in accordance with the Servicing Standard. Each of the Master Servicer and
the Special Servicer shall have the right to remove a Sub-Servicer retained by it pursuant to the terms of the related Sub-Servicing
Agreement.

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

(e) 
         Notwithstanding the provisions of any Sub-Servicing Agreement and this Section 3.20,
except to the extent provided in ARTICLE XI with respect to the obligations of any 

    -264-

     

    
Sub-Servicer
that is an Initial Sub-Servicer, the Master Servicer shall remain obligated and responsible to the Trustee, the Special Servicer,
holders of the Companion Loans serviced hereunder and the Certificateholders for the performance of its obligations and duties
under this Agreement in accordance with the provisions hereof to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if
it alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans for which it is responsible, and the Master Servicer shall pay the
fees of any Sub-Servicer thereunder as and when due from its own funds. In no event shall the Trust bear any termination fee required
to be paid to any Sub-Servicer as a result of such Sub-Servicer’s termination under any Sub-Servicing Agreement.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Officer via telephone available to verbally answer questions from (a) (prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event
and subject to the DCH Limitations) the Directing Certificateholder and (b) the Operating Advisor (with respect to the Special
Servicer only), regarding the performance and servicing of the Mortgage Loans and/or REO Properties for which the Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, is responsible.

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

On
the Closing Date, the initial Directing Certificateholder shall deliver to the parties to this Agreement a certification substantially
in the form of Exhibit P-1G to this Agreement. Upon the resignation or removal of the existing Directing Certificateholder,
any successor directing certificateholder shall also deliver to the parties to this Agreement a certification substantially in
the form of Exhibit P-1G to this Agreement prior to being recognized as the new Directing Certificateholder.

    -266-

     

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

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

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

(e) 
       Upon request, the Certificate Administrator shall deliver to the Depositor, Trustee, the Special Servicer,
the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer and, prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder,
a list of each Controlling Class Certificateholder as reflected in the Certificate Registrar, including names and addresses (or
Certificate Owners of the Controlling Class, if applicable, at the expense of the requesting party). In addition to the foregoing,
within five (5) Business Days of receiving notice of the selection of a new Directing Certificateholder or the existence of a
new Controlling Class Certificateholder, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Master
Servicer and the Special Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Argentic Securities 

    -267-

     

    
Income

of this Agreement. 

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

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

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

(h) 
      All requirements of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to provide notices, reports,
statements or other information (including the access to information on a website) to the Directing Certificateholder contained
in this Agreement shall also apply to each Companion Holder with respect to information relating to the related Serviced AB Mortgage
Loan or a Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable; provided, that nothing in this subsection (h) shall in any way eliminate
the obligation to deliver any information required to be delivered under the related Intercreditor Agreement.

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

(j) 
         With respect to a Serviced Whole Loan and any approval and consent rights in this Agreement
with respect to such Serviced Whole Loan, the related Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder shall exercise such rights in accordance
with the related Intercreditor Agreement.

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

(l) 
          [Reserved].

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

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

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

(n)         
Notwithstanding the proviso to, or any other contrary provision of, the definitions of “Control Termination Event,”
“Consultation Termination Event” and “Operating Advisor Consultation Event,” a Control Termination Event,
a Consultation Termination Event and an Operating Advisor Consultation Event shall be deemed to have occurred with respect to
an Excluded Loan, and neither the Directing Certificateholder nor any Controlling Class Certificateholder shall have any consent
or consultation rights with respect to the servicing of such Excluded Loan.

3.24    Intercreditor Agreements. (a)
Each of the Master Servicer and Special Servicer acknowledges and agrees that each Serviced Whole Loan being serviced under this
Agreement and each Mortgage Loan with mezzanine debt is subject to the terms and provisions of the related Intercreditor Agreement

Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, including, without limitation, effecting distributions and allocating reimbursement
of expenses in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement

    -269-

     

    
and,
in the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the related Intercreditor Agreement, the related Intercreditor
Agreement shall govern. Notwithstanding anything contrary in this Agreement, each of the Master Servicer and Special Servicer
agrees not to take any action with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, or a Mortgage Loan with mezzanine debt or the related Mortgaged
Property without the prior consent of the related Companion Holder or mezzanine lender, as applicable, to the extent that the
related Intercreditor Agreement provides that such Companion Holder or mezzanine lender, as applicable, is required or permitted
to consent to such action. Each of the Master Servicer and Special Servicer acknowledges and agrees that each Companion Holder
and each mezzanine lender or its respective designee has the right to purchase the related Mortgage Loan pursuant to the terms
and conditions of this Agreement and the related Intercreditor Agreement to the extent provided for therein. Each of the Master
Servicer and the Special Servicer further acknowledges and agrees that any Serviced AB Whole Loan Controlling Holder will have
the right to replace the Special Servicer solely with respect to the related Serviced AB Whole Loan, to the extent provided for
herein and in the related Intercreditor Agreement.

(b)        
Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall have any liability for any cost, claim or damage that arises from any
entitlement in favor of a Companion Holder or a mezzanine lender under the related Intercreditor Agreement or conflict between
the terms of this Agreement and the terms of such Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision of any Intercreditor
Agreement that may otherwise require the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to abide by any instruction or direction of a
Companion Holder or a mezzanine lender, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be required to comply with
any instruction or direction the compliance with which requires an Advance that constitutes or would constitute a Nonrecoverable
Advance. In no event shall any expense arising from compliance with an Intercreditor Agreement constitute an expense to be borne
by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer for its own account without reimbursement. In no event shall the Master Servicer or
the Special Servicer be required to consult with or obtain the consent of any Companion Holder or a mezzanine lender unless such
Companion Holder or mezzanine lender has delivered notice of its identity and contact information to each of the parties to this
Agreement (upon which notice each of the parties to this Agreement shall be conclusively entitled to rely). As of the Closing
Date, the contact information for the Companion Holders and mezzanine lenders is as set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement.
In no event shall the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, be required to consult with or obtain the consent
of a new Directing Certificateholder or a new Controlling Class Certificateholder or consult with a new Risk Retention Consultation
Party unless the Certificate Administrator has delivered notice to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable,
as required under Section 3.23(e) or Section 3.33(b), as applicable, or the Master Servicer or Special Servicer,
as applicable, have actual knowledge of the identity and contact information of a new Directing Certificateholder, a new Controlling
Class Certificateholder or a new Risk Retention Consultation Party.

(c) 
       No direction or disapproval of the Companion Holders or any mezzanine lender shall (a) require or cause
the Master Servicer or Special Servicer to violate the terms of a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan, applicable law or
any provision of this Agreement, including the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance
with the Servicing Standard and to maintain the REMIC status of each Trust REMIC and the grantor trust status of the Grantor Trust,

Administrator’s or the Master Servicer’s responsibilities under this Agreement.

(d)         
With respect to any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, notwithstanding any rights the Operating Advisor or the Directing Certificateholder
or the Risk Retention Consultation Party hereunder may have to consult with respect to any action or other matter with respect
to the servicing of such Companion Loan, to the extent the related Intercreditor Agreement provides that such right is exercisable
by the related Companion Holder or is exercisable in conjunction with any related Companion Holder, the Directing Certificateholder
or the Risk Retention Consultation Party shall not be permitted to exercise such right or, to the extent provided in the related
Intercreditor Agreement, shall be required to exercise such right in conjunction with the related Companion Holder, as applicable
(except to the extent that the Directing Certificateholder or the Risk Retention Consultation Party is the related Serviced Whole
Loan Controlling Holder). Additionally, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Master Servicer or Special
Servicer, as applicable, shall consult, seek the approval or obtain the consent of the holder of any Serviced Companion Loan with
respect to any matters with respect to the servicing of such Companion Loan to the extent required under related Intercreditor
Agreement and shall not take such actions requiring consent of the related Companion Holder without such consent. In addition,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall deliver reports and notices
to the related Companion Holder as required under the Intercreditor Agreement.

(e) 
        Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Special Servicer shall be required
(i) to provide copies of any notice, information and report that it is required to provide to the Controlling Class Certificateholder
pursuant to this Agreement with respect to any Major Decisions or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an
Asset Status Report relating to a Serviced Whole Loan, to the related Companion Holder, within the same time frame it is required
to provide to the Controlling Class Certificateholder (for this purpose, without regard to whether such items are actually required
to be provided to the Controlling Class Certificateholder under this Agreement due to the occurrence of a Control Termination
Event or a Consultation Termination Event) and (ii) to consult with any related Companion Holder on a strictly non-binding basis,
to the extent having received such notices, information and reports, such related Companion Holder requests consultation with
respect to any such Major Decisions or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report relating
to a Serviced Whole Loan, and consider alternative actions recommended by such related Companion Holder; provided that
after the expiration of a period of ten (10) Business Days from the delivery to such related Companion Holder by the Special Servicer
of written notice of a proposed action, together with copies of the notice, information and report required to be provided to
the Controlling Class Certificateholder, the Special Servicer shall no longer be obligated to consult with such related Companion
Holder, whether or not such related Companion Holder has responded within such ten (10) Business Day period (unless, the Special
Servicer proposes a new course of action that is materially different from the action previously proposed, in which case such
ten (10) Business Day period shall be deemed to begin anew from the date of such proposal and delivery of all information relating
thereto). Notwithstanding the consultation rights of the related Companion Holder set forth in the immediately preceding sentence,
the Special Servicer may make any Major Decision or take any action set forth in the 

    -271-

     

    
Asset
Status Report before the expiration of the aforementioned ten (10) Business Day period if the Special Servicer determines that
immediate action with respect thereto is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders and the related Companion
Holder. In no event shall the Special Servicer be obligated at any time to follow or take any alternative actions recommended
by the related Companion Holder.

(f) 
          In addition to the consultation rights of the holder of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan
provided in the immediately preceding paragraph, such Companion Holder shall have the right to attend (in person or telephonically,
in the discretion of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable) annual meetings with the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer at the offices of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, upon reasonable notice and at times reasonably
acceptable to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, in which servicing issues related to the related Whole Loan
are discussed.

(g) 
       With respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the Special Servicer shall not modify, waive or amend the
terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement such that the monthly remittance to the holder of the related Companion Loan is required
earlier than 2 Business Days after receipt by the Master Servicer of the related Periodic Payment without the consent of the Master
Servicer.

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

Section
3.25    Rating Agency Confirmation. (a)
Notwithstanding the terms of any related Mortgage Loan documents or other provisions of this Agreement, if any action under any
Mortgage Loan documents or this Agreement requires Rating Agency Confirmation as a condition precedent to such action, if the
party (the “RAC Requesting Party”) attempting and/or required to obtain such Rating Agency Confirmation from
each Rating Agency has made a request to any Rating Agency for such Rating Agency Confirmation and, within ten (10) Business Days
of the Rating Agency Confirmation request being posted to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website, such Rating Agency
has not replied to such request or has responded in a manner that indicates that such Rating Agency is neither reviewing such
request nor waiving the requirement for Rating Agency Confirmation, then such RAC Requesting Party shall be required to confirm
(through direct communication and not by posting any confirmation on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website) that the
applicable Rating Agency has received the Rating Agency Confirmation request, and, if it has not, promptly request the related
Rating Agency Confirmation again (which may also be through direct communication). The circumstances described in the preceding
sentence are referred to in this Agreement as a “RAC No-Response Scenario.” Once the RAC Requesting Party has
sent a request for a Rating Agency Confirmation to the 17g-5 Information Provider, such RAC Requesting Party may, but shall not
be obligated to send such request directly to the Rating Agencies in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 13.10(d).

If
there is no response to such Rating Agency Confirmation request within five (5) Business Days of such second request in a RAC
No-Response Scenario or if such Rating Agency has responded in a manner that indicates such Rating Agency is neither reviewing
such request

    -272-

     

    
nor
waiving the requirement for Rating Agency Confirmation, then (x) with respect to any condition in any Mortgage Loan document requiring
such Rating Agency Confirmation or with respect to any other matter under this Agreement relating to the servicing of the Mortgage
Loans (other than as set forth in clause (y) below), the requirement to obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation shall be deemed
not to apply for such matter at such time (as if such requirement did not exist) with respect to such Rating Agency and the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may then take such action if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer,
as applicable, confirms its original determination (made prior to making such request) that taking the action with respect to
which it requested the Rating Agency Confirmation would still be consistent with the Servicing Standard, and (y) with respect
to a replacement of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, such condition shall be deemed not to apply for such matter at such
time (as if such requirement did not exist) if (i) the applicable replacement master servicer or special servicer is listed on
S&P’s Select Servicer List as a U.S. Commercial Mortgage Master Servicer or U.S. Commercial Mortgage Special Servicer,
as applicable, if S&P is the non-responding Rating Agency, (ii) the applicable replacement master servicer or special servicer
is rated at least “CMS3” (in the case of the master servicer) or “CSS3” (in the case of the special servicer),
if Fitch is the non-responding Rating Agency or (iii) KBRA has not publicly cited servicing concerns of the applicable replacement
master servicer or special servicer as the sole or a material factor in any qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of the ratings
(or placement on “watch status” in contemplation of a ratings downgrade or withdrawal) of securities in any other
CMBS transaction serviced by such replacement master servicer or special servicer prior to the time of determination, if KBRA
is the non-responding Rating Agency.

Any
Rating Agency Confirmation request made by the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, Certificate Administrator or Trustee, as applicable,
pursuant to this Agreement, shall be made in writing, which writing shall contain a cover page indicating the nature of the Rating
Agency Confirmation request, and shall contain all back-up material necessary for the Rating Agency to process such request. Such
written Rating Agency Confirmation request shall be provided in electronic format to the 17g-5 Information Provider, and the 17g-5
Information Provider shall post such request on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section
3.13(c).

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

(b)       
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.25, for purposes of the provisions of any Mortgage Loan document
relating to defeasance (including without limitation the type of collateral acceptable for use as defeasance collateral) or release
or substitution of any collateral, any Rating Agency Confirmation requirement in the Mortgage Loan documents for which the Master
Servicer or Special Servicer would have been permitted to waive obtaining or to make a determination with respect to such Rating
Agency Confirmation pursuant

    -273-

     

    
to
Section 3.25(a) shall be deemed not to apply for such matter at such time (as if such requirement did not exist).

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

Section
3.26    The Operating Advisor. (a)
The Operating Advisor shall review (i) the actions of the Special Servicer with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan and, if
an Operating Advisor Consultation Event exists, any Major Decisions with respect to any Non-Specially Serviced Loan (which review
shall be performed in accordance with Section 3.08(a), Section 3.08(b), Section 3.18(b), Section 3.19(d),
Section 3.26 and Section 6.08, as applicable), (ii) all reports by the Special Servicer made available to Privileged
Persons on the Certificate Administrator’s Website or otherwise provided to the Operating Advisor pursuant to this Agreement
and (iii) each Asset Status Report (after the occurrence and continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event) and each
Final Asset Status Report delivered to the Operating Advisor by the Special Servicer. If an Operating Advisor Consultation Event
exists, the Operating Advisor shall consult on a non-binding basis with the Special Servicer regarding (i) Asset Status Reports
as contemplated by Section 3.19 and Section 6.08 and (ii) Major Decisions processed by the Special Servicer as contemplated
by Section 6.08. The Operating Advisor shall perform its duties hereunder in accordance with the Operating Advisor Standard.

(b) 
         [Reserved].

(c) 
      (i) Based on the Operating Advisor’s review of (i) any assessment of compliance and any attestation
report delivered to the Operating Advisor or made available to the Operating Advisor on the Certificate Administrator’s
Website, any attestation report delivered to the Operating Advisor, any Final Asset Status Report and other information (other
than any communications between the related Directing Certificateholder, any Risk Retention Consultation Party or any related
Companion Loan holder (or its representative), as applicable, and the Special Servicer that would be Privileged Information) delivered
to the Operating Advisor by the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor shall ((i) if any Serviced Mortgage Loans were Specially
Serviced Loans at any time during the prior calendar year or (ii) if an Operating Advisor Consultation Event occurred during the
prior calendar year) deliver to the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which
shall promptly post such Operating Advisor Annual Report on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with
Section 3.13(c)) within one hundred twenty (120) days of the end of the prior calendar year, an annual report (the “Operating
Advisor Annual Report”),
substantially in the form of Exhibit V (which form may be modified or altered as to either its organization or content
by the Operating 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 Operating Advisor Annual Report contravene any provision of this Agreement), setting forth the Operating
Advisor’s assessment, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, as to whether the Special Servicer is operating in
compliance with the Servicing Standard with respect to its performance of its duties under this Agreement with respect to Specially
Serviced Loans (and, after the occurrence and continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, with respect to Major Decisions
on Non-Specially 

    -274-

     

    
Serviced
Loans) during the prior calendar year on the basis described in the following paragraph and identifying (1) which, if any, standards
the Operating Advisor believes, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, the Special Servicer has failed to comply with
and (2) any material deviations from the Servicing Standard or from the Special Servicer’s obligations hereunder with respect
to any Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property (other than with respect to any REO Property related to any Non-Serviced Mortgage
Loan) and, after the occurrence and continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, Non-Specially Serviced Loans (solely
with respect to Major Decisions with respect thereto); provided, that in the event the Special Servicer is replaced, the
Operating Advisor Annual Report shall only relate to the special servicer that was acting as Special Servicer as of December 31
in the prior calendar year and is continuing in such capacity through the date of such Operating Advisor Annual Report; provided,
further, that the Operating Advisor shall prepare a separate Operating Advisor Annual Report relating to each Excluded
Special Servicer and any Excluded Special Servicer Loan(s) serviced by such Excluded Special Servicer. In preparing any Operating
Advisor Annual Report, the Operating Advisor shall not be required to report on instances of non-compliance with, or deviations
from, the Servicing Standard or the Special Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement that the Operating Advisor determines,
in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, to be immaterial. Such Operating Advisor Annual Report shall be delivered to the
Certificate Administrator (which shall promptly post such Operating Advisor Annual Report on the Certificate Administrator’s
Website in accordance with Section 3.13(b)), the Special Servicer and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly
post such Operating Advisor Annual Report on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(c));
provided, that the Special Servicer shall be given an opportunity to review the Operating Advisor Annual Report at least
five (5) Business Days prior to such annual report’s delivery to the Certificate Administrator and the 17g-5 Information
Provider. The Operating Advisor shall have no obligation to adopt any comments to the Operating Advisor Annual Report that are
provided by the Special Servicer. 

The
Operating Advisor Annual Report shall be prepared on the basis of the Special Servicer’s performance of its duties with
respect to the pool of Specially Serviced Loans (and, after the occurrence and continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation
Event, with respect to Major Decisions on Non-Specially Serviced Loans) under this Agreement, taking into account the Special
Servicer’s specific duties under this Agreement as well as the extent to which those duties were performed in accordance
with the Servicing Standard, with reasonable consideration by the Operating Advisor of any assessment of compliance, attestation
report, Major Decision Reporting Package, Asset Status Report, Final Asset Status Report and any other information delivered to
the Operating Advisor by the Special Servicer (other than any communications between the Directing Certificateholder and the Special
Servicer that would be Privileged Information) or made available to the Operating Advisor on the Certificate Administrator’s
Website, in each case, pursuant to this Agreement.

(ii) 
       In the event the Operating Advisor’s ability to perform its obligations in respect of the Operating
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 Operating Advisor or because such information is inaccurate or incomplete, the Operating Advisor shall set
forth such limitations or prohibitions in the related Operating Advisor Annual Report, and the Operating Advisor shall not be
subject to any liability arising from such limitations or prohibitions. The Operating Advisor shall be entitled to conclusively
rely on 

    -275-

     

    
the
accuracy and completeness of any information it is provided without liability for any reliance thereon. In the event a lack of
access to Privileged Information limits or prohibits the Operating Advisor from performing its duties under this Agreement, the
Operating Advisor may, to the extent the Operating Advisor deems relevant, set forth any such limitations or prohibitions in the
related Operating Advisor Annual Report, and the Operating Advisor shall not be subject to any liability arising from its lack
of access to Privileged Information.

(d)           [Reserved].

(e)  
       (i) With respect to any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, after the subject calculation has been finalized
(and, if an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing, prior to the utilization by the Special Servicer)
of any of the calculations related to (i) Appraisal Reduction Amounts or Collateral Deficiency Amounts or (ii) net present value
in accordance with Section 1.02(iv), in either case, calculated by the Special Servicer, the Special Servicer shall forward
such calculations, together with any supporting material or additional information necessary in support thereof (including such
additional information reasonably requested by the Operating Advisor to confirm the mathematical accuracy of such calculations,
but not including any Privileged Information), to the Operating Advisor promptly, but in any event no later than two (2) Business
Days after preparing such calculations (provided that if an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing,
such delivery must occur prior to the utilization of the subject calculation by the Special Servicer), and the Operating Advisor
shall promptly, but no later than three (3) Business Days after receipt of such calculations and any supporting or additional
materials, recalculate and verify the accuracy of the mathematical calculations and the corresponding application of the non-discretionary
portion of the applicable formulas required to be utilized in connection with any such calculation.

(ii) 
        In connection with this Section 3.26(e), if the Operating Advisor does not agree with the mathematical
calculations of the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount (as calculated by the Special Servicer), or net
present value or the application of the applicable non-discretionary portions of the formula required to be utilized for such
calculation, the Operating Advisor and Special Servicer shall consult with each other in order to resolve any material inaccuracy
in the mathematical calculations or the application of the non-discretionary portions of the related formula in arriving at those
mathematical calculations or any disagreement within five (5) Business Days of delivery of such calculations. If the Operating
Advisor and Special Servicer are not able to resolve such inaccuracies or disagreement prior to the end of such five (5) Business
Day period, the Operating Advisor shall promptly notify the Certificate Administrator of such disagreement, and the Certificate
Administrator shall examine the calculations and supporting materials provided by the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor
and shall determine which calculation is to apply (and shall provide prompt written notice of such determination to the Operating
Advisor and the Special Servicer).

(f) 
          Notwithstanding the foregoing, and prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Operating Advisor
Consultation Event, the Operating Advisor’s review shall be limited to an after-the-action review of any calculations,
assessment of compliance, attestation report, Major Decision Reporting Package, Asset Status Report, Final Asset Status Report
and other information 

    -276-

     

    
delivered
to the Operating Advisor by the Special Servicer or made available to Privileged Persons that are posted on the Certificate Administrator’s
Website during the prior calendar year (together with any additional information and material reviewed by the Operating Advisor),
and, therefore, it shall have no involvement with respect to the determination and execution of Major Decisions and other similar
actions that the Special Servicer may perform under this Agreement and will have no obligations at any time with respect to any
Non-Serviced Whole Loan or any related REO Properties. In addition, with respect to the Operating Advisor’s review of net
present value calculations as required in Section 3.26(e) above, the Operating Advisor’s recalculation shall not
take into account the reasonableness of Special Servicer’s property and borrower performance assumptions or other similar
discretionary portions of the net present value calculation.

(g)         
The Operating Advisor and its Affiliates shall keep confidential any Privileged Information received from the Special Servicer
or the Directing Certificateholder or the Risk Retention Consultation Party in connection with the Directing Certificateholder’s
or the Risk Retention Consultation Party’s exercise of any rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation,
in connection with any Asset Status Report) or otherwise in connection with the transaction, and shall not disclose such Privileged
Information to any Person (including Certificateholders other than the Directing Certificateholder), other than (1) to the extent
expressly required by this Agreement, to the other parties hereto with a notice indicating that such information is Privileged
Information, (2) pursuant to a Privileged Information Exception or (3) where necessary to support specific findings or conclusions
regarding deviations from the Servicing Standard (i) in the Operating Advisor Annual Report or (ii) in connection with a recommendation
by the Operating Advisor to replace the Special Servicer. Each party to this Agreement that receives from the Operating Advisor
with a notice stating that such information is Privileged Information shall not disclose such Privileged Information to any other
Person without the prior written consent of the Special Servicer and, unless a Consultation Termination Event has occurred and
is continuing, the Directing Certificateholder (with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan (subject to the DCH Limitations)) other
than pursuant to a Privileged Information Exception. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Operating Advisor shall be permitted to
share Privileged Information with its Affiliates and any subcontractors of the Operating Advisor that agree in writing to be bound
by the same confidentiality provisions applicable to the Operating Advisor. Subject to the terms and conditions in this Agreement
related to Privileged Information, the Operating Advisor agrees that it shall use information received from the Special Servicer
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement solely for purposes of complying with its duties and obligations hereunder. In addition
and for the avoidance of doubt, while the Operating Advisor may serve in a similar capacity with respect to other securitizations
that involve the same parties or borrowers involved in this securitization, the knowledge of the Operating Advisor gained from
performing operating advisor functions for such other securitizations shall not be imputed to the Operating Advisor in this securitization.

Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary (i) the Operating Advisor’s assessment of the Special Servicer’s performance
shall be based on the provisions of this Agreement and (ii) so long as LNR Partners, LLC is acting as Special Servicer, LNR Partners,
LLC shall provide the Operating Advisor reasonable access, at LNR Partners, LLC’s offices during normal business hours,
to LNR Partners, LLC’s policies and procedures. The Operating Advisor will be permitted to review such policies and procedures
but will not be permitted to retain hard copies and will not be provided with any electronic copies or soft copies. The Operating
Advisor 

    -277-

     

    
shall
keep all information contained in the policies and procedures strictly confidential, except (A) the Operating Advisor may disclose
such information if (i) such information becomes generally available and known to the public other than as a result of a disclosure
directly or indirectly by the Operating Advisor, or (ii) such disclosure is required by applicable law, as evidenced by an opinion
of counsel delivered to the Operating Advisor and the Special Servicer, and (B) the Operating Advisor may disclose a particular
portion of the policies and procedures solely when necessary to support specific conclusions concerning allegations of material
deviations from the Servicing Standard (i) in the Operating Advisor Annual Report, or (ii) in connection with a recommendation
by the Operating Advisor to replace LNR Partners, LLC as the Special Servicer pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Operating Advisor will be permitted to share such information with its Affiliates and any subcontractors of
the Operating Advisor to the extent reasonably necessary to perform the Operating Advisor’s obligations under this Agreement
and provided such Operating Advisor’s Affiliates and subcontractors agree in writing prior to their receipt of such information
to be bound by the same confidentiality provisions applicable to the Operating Advisor. The Operating Advisor’s assessment
may not take into account the fact that LNR Partners, LLC limited the Operating Advisor’s access to the LNR Partners, LLC
written policies and procedures pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. Nothing set forth herein shall limit or affect the
scope of the Operating Advisor’s review in connection with its preparation of the Operating Advisor Annual Report, provided
that the Operating Advisor’s access to or reliance upon LNR Partners, LLC’s written policies and procedures shall
be subject to the terms of this paragraph. During any period when the Special Servicer is not LNR Partners, LLC or an affiliate
of LNR Partners, LLC, the requirements and limitations contained in this paragraph shall be null and void, and the Operating Advisor
shall have adequate and timely access to the policies and procedures of any successor special servicer as the Operating Advisor
determines necessary to fulfill its duties under this Agreement.

(h) 
       Subject to the requirements of confidentiality imposed on the Operating Advisor herein (including without
limitation in respect of Privileged Information), the Operating Advisor shall respond to Inquiries proposed by Privileged Persons
from time to time in accordance with the terms of Section 4.07(a).

(i)          
As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Operating Advisor shall be entitled to receive the Operating Advisor Fee on
each Remittance Date with respect to each Mortgage Loan and each successor REO Loan. As to each Mortgage Loan and each REO Loan,
the Operating Advisor Fee shall accrue from time to time at the Operating Advisor Fee Rate and shall be computed on the basis
of the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be, and in the same manner as interest is calculated
on the related Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be, and, in connection with any partial month interest payment, for
the same period respecting which any related interest payment due on the related Mortgage Loan or deemed to be due on such REO
Loan is computed. The Operating Advisor Fee shall be payable from funds on deposit in the Collection Account as provided in Section
3.05(a)(ii) of this Agreement.

The
Operating Advisor shall be entitled to reimbursement of any Operating Advisor Expenses provided for pursuant to Section 6.04(a)
and/or 6.04(b) hereof, such amounts to be reimbursed from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account as provided
by Section 3.05(a). 

    -278-

     

    
Each
successor operating advisor shall be required to acknowledge and agree to the terms of the preceding sentence.

In
addition, the Operating Advisor Consulting Fee shall be payable to the Operating Advisor with respect to each Major Decision for
which the Operating Advisor has consultation obligations hereunder. The Operating Advisor Consulting Fee shall be payable from
funds on deposit in the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.05(a)(ii) of this Agreement, but only to the extent
such Operating Advisor Consulting Fee is actually received from the related Mortgagor. When the Operating Advisor has consultation
obligations with respect to a Major Decision under this Agreement, the party processing such Major Decision shall use commercially
reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect the applicable Operating Advisor Consulting Fee from the
related Mortgagor in connection with such Major Decision, but only to the extent not prohibited by the related Mortgage Loan documents.
The Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, may waive or reduce the amount of any Operating Advisor Consulting Fee
payable by the related Mortgagor if it determines that such full or partial waiver is in accordance with the Servicing Standard,
but in no event shall the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer take any enforcement action with respect to the collection of
such Operating Advisor Consulting Fee other than requests for collection; provided that the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as applicable, shall consult, on a non-binding basis, with the Operating Advisor prior to any such waiver or reduction.

Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the Operating Advisor shall have no obligations or consultation rights in its capacity as operating
advisor with respect to any Non-Serviced Whole Loan or any related REO Property and shall not be entitled to the Operating Advisor
Fee or an Operating Advisor Consulting Fee with respect to any Non-Serviced Whole Loan.

(j)          
After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, upon (i) the written direction of Holders
of Certificates representing at least 15% of the Voting Rights allocable to Non-Reduced Classes requesting a vote to replace the
Operating Advisor with a replacement Operating Advisor selected by such Holders (provided that the proposed replacement
Operating Advisor is an Eligible Operating Advisor), (ii) payment by such requesting Holders to the Certificate Administrator
of all reasonable fees and expenses to be incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with administering such vote
and (iii) receipt by the Trustee of a Rating Agency Confirmation, 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 3.13(b), and concurrently by mail, and conduct the solicitation of votes of all Certificates in such regard.
Upon the vote or written direction of Holders of Certificates representing more than 50% of the Voting Rights allocable to Non-Reduced
Classes that exercise their right to vote, provided that the Holders of Certificates representing at least 50% of the Voting Rights
allocable to Non-Reduced Classes have exercised their right to vote, the Trustee shall immediately replace the Operating Advisor
with the replacement Operating Advisor.

(k)         
After the occurrence of an Operating Advisor Termination Event, the Trustee may terminate, and upon the written direction of Certificateholders
representing at least 25% of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of any Cumulative Appraisal 

    -279-

     

    
Reduction
Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balance of the Classes of Principal Balance Certificates), the Trustee shall promptly
terminate, the Operating Advisor for cause and appoint a replacement Operating Advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor;
provided that no such termination shall be effective until a successor operating advisor has been appointed and has assumed
all of the obligations of the Operating Advisor under this Agreement. No such termination shall terminate, change, reduce, or
otherwise modify the rights and obligations of the Operating Advisor that accrued prior to such termination, including the right
to receive all amounts accrued and owing to it under this Agreement, and other than indemnification rights arising out of events
occurring prior to such termination. The Trustee may rely on a certification by the replacement Operating Advisor that it is an
Eligible Operating Advisor. Upon any termination of the Operating Advisor and appointment of a successor to the Operating Advisor,
the Trustee shall, as soon as possible, give written notice of the termination and appointment to the Special Servicer, the Master
Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the 17g-5 Information Provider (for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s
Website), the Depositor, the Directing Certificateholder (subject to the DCH Limitations, and only if no Consultation Termination
Event has occurred and is continuing), any Companion Loan holder, the Risk Retention Consultation Party and the Certificateholders.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Trustee is unable to find a successor operating advisor within thirty (30) days of the termination
of the Operating Advisor, the Depositor shall be permitted to find a replacement. The Trustee shall not be liable for any failure
to identify and appoint a successor operating advisor so long as the Trustee uses commercially reasonable efforts to conduct a
search for a successor operating advisor and such failure is not a result of the Trustee’s negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct in the performance of its obligations hereunder.

(l) 
         The Holders of Certificates representing at least 25% of the Voting Rights affected by any Operating
Advisor Termination Event hereunder may waive such Operating Advisor Termination Event within twenty (20) days of the receipt
of notice from the Trustee of the occurrence of such Operating Advisor Termination Event. Upon any such waiver of an Operating
Advisor Termination Event, such Operating Advisor Termination Event shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been remedied
for every purpose hereunder. Upon any such waiver of an Operating Advisor Termination Event by Certificateholders, the Trustee
and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to recover all costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with enforcement
action taken with respect to such Operating Advisor Termination Event prior to such waiver from the Trust. 

(m) 
       [Reserved].

(n) 
       The Operating Advisor may resign from its obligations and duties hereby imposed on it upon thirty
(30) days prior written notice to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator,
the Risk Retention Consultation Party and the Directing Certificateholder, if applicable, if the Operating Advisor has secured
a replacement operating advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor and such replacement operating advisor has accepted its
appointment as the replacement operating advisor. No such resignation by the Operating Advisor shall become effective until the
replacement Operating Advisor shall have assumed the resigning Operating Advisor’s responsibilities and obligations. If
no successor operating advisor has been so appointed and accepted the appointment within 30 days after the notice of resignation,
the resigning Operating Advisor may petition any court of

    -280-

     

    
competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor operating advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor. The resigning Operating
Advisor shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses (including costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee and the Certificate
Administrator) associated with a transfer of its duties pursuant to this Section 3.26.

(o) 
        [Reserved].

(p) 
       In the event the Operating Advisor resigns or is otherwise terminated for any reason it shall remain entitled
to any accrued and unpaid Operating Advisor Fees and Operating Advisor Consulting Fees and reimbursement of accrued and unpaid
Operating Advisor Expenses pursuant to Section 3.26(i) and shall also remain entitled to any rights of indemnification
provided hereunder.

(q) 
        The parties hereto agree, and the Certificateholders by their acceptance of their Certificates shall
be deemed to have agreed, that (i) subject to Section 6.04, the Operating Advisor shall have no liability to any Certificateholder
for any actions taken or for refraining from taking any actions under this Agreement, (ii) the Operating Advisor shall act solely
as a contracting party to the extent set forth in this Agreement, (iii) the Operating Advisor shall have no (A) fiduciary duty,
or (B) other duty or liability except with respect to its specific obligations under this Agreement, and shall have no duty to
any particular class of Certificates or particular Certificateholders, and (iv) the Operating Advisor does not constitute an “investment
adviser” within the meaning of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended.

(r) 
         [Reserved].

(s) 
         Neither the Operating Advisor nor any of its Affiliates shall make any investment in any Class
of Certificates.

(t) 
         The Operating Advisor shall at all times be an Eligible Operating Advisor and if the Operating Advisor
ceases to be an Eligible Operating Advisor, the Operating Advisor shall immediately resign under Section 3.26(n) of this
Agreement and the Trustee shall appoint a successor operating advisor subject to and in accordance with this Section 3.26.

(u) 
       The Operating Advisor may delegate its duties to agents or subcontractors to the extent such agents
or subcontractors satisfy clauses (c), (d) and (f) of the definition of “Eligible Operating Advisor” and so long as
the related agreements or arrangements with such agents or subcontractors are consistent with the provisions of this Agreement
related to the Operating Advisor’s duties and obligations; provided that no agent or subcontractor may (i) be an Impermissible
Operating Advisor Affiliate or (ii) have been paid any fees, compensation or other remuneration by an Underwriter, an Initial
Purchaser, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Directing
Certificateholder or any of their respective Affiliates in connection with due diligence or other services with respect to any
Mortgage Loan prior to the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Operating Advisor shall remain obligated
and primarily liable for its obligations hereunder in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such
obligation or liability or related obligation or liability by virtue of such delegation or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification
from any person acting as its agent or subcontractor to the same extent and under the same terms 

    -281-

     

    
and
conditions as if the Operating Advisor alone were performing its obligations under this Agreement. The Operating Advisor shall
be entitled to enter into an agreement with any agent or subcontractor providing for indemnification of the Operating Advisor
by such agent or subcontractor, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.

(v) 
       With respect to the determination of whether an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred
and is continuing, or has terminated, the Operating Advisor and the Special Servicer are entitled to rely solely on their receipt
from the Certificate Administrator of notice thereof pursuant to this Agreement, and, with respect to any obligations of the Operating
Advisor that are performed only after the occurrence and continuation of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, the Operating
Advisor will have no obligation to perform any such duties until the receipt of such notice or actual knowledge of the occurrence
of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event.

Section
3.27    Companion Paying Agent. (a)
With respect to each of the Serviced Companion Loans, the Master Servicer shall be the Companion Paying Agent hereunder. The Companion
Paying Agent undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement.

(b) 
        No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Companion Paying Agent from liability
for its negligent failure to act, bad faith or its own willful misfeasance; provided, that the duties and obligations of
the Companion Paying Agent shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement. The Companion Paying Agent
shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read
into this Agreement against the Companion Paying Agent. In the absence of bad faith on the part of the Companion Paying Agent,
the Companion Paying Agent may conclusively rely, as to the truth and correctness of the statements or conclusions expressed therein,
upon any resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instrument furnished to the Companion
Paying Agent by any Person and which on their face do not contradict the requirements of this Agreement.

(c)         
In the case of each of the Serviced Companion Loans, upon the resignation or removal of the Master Servicer pursuant to ARTICLE
VII of this Agreement, the Master Servicer, as the Companion Paying Agent, shall be deemed simultaneously to resign or be
removed.

(d) 
        This Section 3.27 shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of
the Companion Paying Agent, as regards to rights accrued prior to such resignation or removal.

Section
3.28    Companion Register. The
Companion Paying Agent shall maintain a register (the “Companion Register”) with respect to each Serviced Companion
Loan on which it will record the names and address of, and wire transfer instructions for, the Companion Holders from time to
time, to the extent such information is provided in writing to it by each Companion Holder. The initial Companion Holders with
respect to Serviced Mortgage Loans, along with their respective name and address, are listed on Exhibit S hereto. In the
event a Companion Holder

    -282-

     

    
transfers
a Companion Loan without notice to the Companion Paying Agent, the Companion Paying Agent shall have no liability for any misdirected
payment in such Companion Loan and shall have no obligation to recover and redirect such payment.

The
Companion Paying Agent shall promptly provide the name and address of the Companion Holder to any party hereto or any successor
Companion Holder upon written request and any such Person may, without further investigation, conclusively rely upon such information.
The Companion Paying Agent shall have no liability to any Person for the provision of any such name and address.

For
the avoidance of doubt, any notices or information required to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement by any party hereto to
a Companion Holder with respect to a Companion Loan that has been included in an Other Securitization shall be provided to the
Other Servicer under the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Section
3.29    Certain Matters Relating to the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans and the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loans. (a)
In the event that any of the applicable Non-Serviced Trustee, the applicable Non-Serviced Certificate Administrator, the applicable
Non-Serviced Master Servicer or the applicable Non-Serviced Special Servicer shall be replaced in accordance with the terms of
the applicable Non-Serviced PSA, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall acknowledge its successor as the successor
to the applicable Non-Serviced Trustee, the applicable Non-Serviced Certificate Administrator, the applicable Non-Serviced Master
Servicer or the applicable Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as the case may be.

(b) 
        If any of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Master Servicer receives notice from
a Rating Agency that the Master Servicer is no longer an “approved” master servicer by any of the Rating Agencies
rating the Certificates, then the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Master Servicer, as applicable, shall promptly
notify each Non-Serviced Master Servicer of the same.

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

(d) 
        Prior to the related Servicing Shift Securitization Date, the Custodian shall hold the Mortgage
File with respect to each Servicing Shift Whole Loan. On the Servicing Shift Securitization Date for any Servicing Shift Whole
Loan (i) the Custodian shall, upon receipt of a Request for Release, transfer the related Mortgage File (other than the promissory
note evidencing the related Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan, the original of which shall be retained by the Custodian) for such
Servicing Shift Whole Loan to the related Non-Serviced Trustee and (ii) the Master Servicer shall, upon written request, if the
Master Servicer is not the related Non-Serviced Master 

    -283-

     

    
Servicer,
transfer the Servicing File for such Servicing Shift Whole Loan to the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer.

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

(f) 
         With respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Directing Certificateholder, prior to the
occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, or the Special Servicer (consistent with the Servicing Standard), following
the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, shall be entitled to exercise any control or consultation
rights held by the holder of such Mortgage Loan in its capacity as a “Non-Controlling Note Holder” (or similar term
identified in the related Intercreditor Agreement) under the related Intercreditor Agreement or as a “Serviced Companion
Noteholder” (or similar term defined in the related Non-Serviced PSA) under the related Non-Serviced PSA. Prior to the occurrence
and continuance of a Control Termination Event, each of the Master Servicer (with respect to Mortgage Loans that are not Specially
Serviced Loans) and the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) shall (to the extent it is not evident that
the Directing Certificateholder has been copied directly on such notice) forward to the Directing Certificateholder any notices
it receives addressed to the Trust as the “Non-Controlling Note Holder” (or similar term).

(g)         With respect to the servicing of each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, this Agreement is subject to
the related Intercreditor Agreement and incorporates by reference all provisions required to be included herein pursuant to such
Intercreditor Agreement.

(h)         
With respect to each Whole Loan, if any Serviced Companion Loan becomes the subject of an “asset review” (or such
analogous term defined in the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement) pursuant to the related Other Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Custodian shall reasonably cooperate with the Other
Asset Representations Reviewer or any other party to the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement in connection with such Asset Review
by providing the Other Asset Representations Reviewer or such other requesting party with any documents reasonably requested by
the Other Asset Representations Reviewer or such other requesting party, but only to the extent such documents are in the possession
of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Custodian, as the case may be.

(i) 
         For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, upon reasonable request, the Master
Servicer and the Special Servicer shall provide to each Other Servicer that is servicing a related Serviced Companion Loan such
information in its possession as is necessary to enable each such Other Servicer to perform its servicing duties under the related
Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

    -284-

     

    
(j) 
        If an expense under this Agreement relates, in the reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer,
the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, primarily to the administration
of the Trust or any REMIC or grantor trust formed hereunder or to any determination respecting the amount, payment or avoidance
of any tax under the REMIC Provisions or provisions relating to the grantor trust or the actual payment of any REMIC tax or expense
or grantor trust tax or expense with respect to any REMIC or grantor trust formed hereunder, then such expense shall not be allocated
to, deducted or reimbursed from, or otherwise charged against the holder of any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan or Serviced
Subordinate Companion Loan and such holder shall not suffer any adverse consequences as a result of the payment of such expense.

(k) 
       (i) Promptly following the Closing Date, in the case of any Non-Serviced Whole Loan, and (ii) promptly
following the Certificate Administrator’s receipt of notice of the related Servicing Shift Securitization Date (which notice
shall contain the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer’s address), in the case of each Servicing Shift Whole Loan, the
Certificate Administrator shall send written notice (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit T) to the related Non-Serviced
Master Servicer (with a copy to any other applicable party set forth on the schedule of addresses to Exhibit T) stating
that, as of such date, the Trust is the holder of the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and directing such Non-Serviced Master
Servicer to remit to the Master Servicer all amounts payable to, and to forward, deliver or otherwise make available, as the case
may be, to the Master Servicer all reports, statements, documents, communications and other information that are to be forwarded,
delivered or otherwise made available to, the holder of such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan under the related Non-Serviced Intercreditor
Agreement and the related Non-Serviced PSA. The Master Servicer shall forward, deliver or otherwise make available to the Special
Servicer and/or Directing Certificateholder any reports, statements, documents, communications or other information received from
a Non-Serviced Master Servicer as contemplated in the prior sentence to the same extent that the Master Servicer would be obligated
to forward, deliver or otherwise make available to the Special Servicer and/or the Directing Certificateholder any such item for
a Serviced Mortgage Loan under the terms hereof. The Master Servicer shall, within two (2) Business Days of receipt of properly
identified and available funds, deposit into the Collection Account all amounts received with respect to the related Non-Serviced
Mortgage Loan, the related Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property or any related REO Property. 

Section
3.30    Certain Matters with Respect to Joint Mortgage Loans.

(a) 
      If a Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to a Joint Mortgage Loan (a “Repurchasing Mortgage
Loan Seller”) repurchases, or substitutes for, the Mortgage Note(s) (as such term is defined in this Section 3.30(a))
(a “Repurchased Note”) related to such Joint Mortgage Loan that it sold to the Depositor, but the other Mortgage
Loan Seller with respect to such Joint Mortgage Loan does not repurchase, or substitute for, the Mortgage Note(s) related to such
Joint Mortgage Loan that it sold to the Depositor, the provisions of this Section 3.30 shall apply prior to the adoption,
pursuant to Section 13.01(m), of any amendment to this Agreement that provides otherwise. Each Mortgage Loan Seller of
a Joint Mortgage Loan has agreed pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement that the terms set forth
in this Section 3.30 with respect to the servicing and administration of such Joint Mortgage Loan shall apply if one or
more of the Mortgage Notes related to such Joint Mortgage Loan has been repurchased or, by way of 

    -285-

     

    
substitution,
otherwise removed from the Trust and at least one other Mortgage Note related to such Joint Mortgage Loan is included in the Trust
until such time as all of the Mortgage Notes related to such Joint Mortgage Loan are no longer included in the Trust. For purposes
of this Section 3.30, Section 13.01(m) and Section 13.08(a) only, “Mortgage Note” shall mean
with respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan, each original promissory note that collectively represents the Mortgage Note (as defined
in Article I) with respect to such Joint Mortgage Loan and shall not be a collective reference to such promissory notes. For the
avoidance of doubt, clauses (b) through (j) below apply only to a Joint Mortgage Loan that is a Serviced Mortgage
Loan.

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

(i) 
        All of the Mortgage Notes with respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan shall be of equal priority,
and no portion of any Mortgage Note shall have priority or preference over any other portion of the other Mortgage Notes or security
therefor. Payments from the related Mortgagor (including, without limitation, any Penalty Charges) or any other amounts received
with respect to each Mortgage Note shall be collected as provided in this Agreement by the Master Servicer and shall be applied
upon receipt by the Master Servicer pro rata to each related Mortgage Note based on its respective Mortgage Loan Seller
Percentage Interest, subject to Section 3.30(b)(ii). Payments or any other amounts received with respect to the related
Repurchased Note shall be held in trust for the benefit of the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller and remitted (net
of its pro rata share of amounts payable at the Administrative Cost Rate and any other amounts due to the Master Servicer
or Special Servicer) to the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee by the Master Servicer on each Distribution
Date pursuant to instructions provided by the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller and deposited and applied in accordance
with this Agreement, subject to Section 3.30(b)(ii). If any Joint Mortgage Loan to which this Section 3.30 applies
becomes an REO Loan, payments or any other amounts received with respect to any such Joint Mortgage Loan shall be collected and
shall be applied upon receipt by the Master Servicer pro rata to each related Mortgage Note based on its respective Mortgage
Loan Seller Percentage Interest, subject to Section 3.30(b)(ii). Any Appraisal Reduction Amounts calculated with respect
to any Joint Mortgage Loan subject to this Section 3.30 shall be allocated to each related Mortgage Note pro rata based
upon the respective unpaid principal balances thereof. 

(ii) 
       If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, receives an aggregate payment of less
than the aggregate amount due under any such Joint Mortgage Loan at any particular time, the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage
Loan Seller shall receive from the Master Servicer an amount equal to its Mortgage Loan Seller Percentage Interest of such payment.
All expenses, losses and shortfalls relating solely to such Joint Mortgage Loan including, without limitation, losses of principal
or interest, Nonrecoverable Advances, interest on Servicing Advances, Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees and Liquidation Fees
(including any such fees related to the applicable Mortgage Notes), shall be allocated between the holders of the related Mortgage
Notes pro rata based upon the respective unpaid principal balances thereof. In no event shall any 

    -286-

     

    
costs,
expenses, fees or any other amounts related to any Mortgage Loan or Joint Mortgage Loan other than the applicable Joint Mortgage
Loan be deducted from payments or any other amounts received with respect to such Joint Mortgage Loan and payable to the applicable
Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller. 

(iii) 
      A Joint Mortgage Loan to which this Section 3.30 applies shall be serviced for the benefit of the
applicable Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller and the Certificateholders pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement
in accordance with the Servicing Standard and in accordance with the provisions herein as if (A) such Joint Mortgage Loan were
a Serviced Whole Loan (and, if such Joint Mortgage Loan is part of a Serviced Whole Loan, such Joint Mortgage Loan shall continue
to be serviced and administered under the applicable Intercreditor Agreement), (B) the related Mortgage Note(s) not repurchased
were (1) a Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan and (2) the only Mortgage Loan that is part of such Joint Mortgage Loan (or related
Serviced Whole Loan), and (C) the related Repurchased Note were a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan. No Repurchasing Mortgage
Loan Seller shall be permitted to terminate the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor as servicer, special
servicer or operating advisor, respectively, of the related Repurchased Note. All rights of the mortgagee under each such Joint
Mortgage Loan shall be exercised by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, on behalf of the Trust to the
extent of its interest therein and the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller in accordance with this Agreement.

(iv) 
      The related Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller shall be treated hereunder as if it were a Serviced Pari Passu
Companion Loan holder on a pari passu basis. Funds collected by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and
applied to the applicable Mortgage Notes shall be deposited and disbursed in accordance with the provisions hereof relating to
holders of promissory notes comprising Serviced Whole Loans that are pari passu in right of payment. Compensation shall be paid
to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor with respect to each Repurchased Note as provided in this
Agreement as if each such Repurchased Note were a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan. None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator,
the Custodian, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor shall have any obligation to make P&I Advances
with respect to any Repurchased Note or, if no related Mortgage Note is part of the Trust, a Servicing Advance with respect to
any Repurchased Note. Except as otherwise specified herein, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall have no reporting
requirement with respect to any Repurchased Note other than to deliver to the related Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller any document
as is required to be delivered to a holder of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan hereunder.

(c) 
       If any non-repurchased Mortgage Note relating to a Joint Mortgage Loan to which this Section 3.30
applies is a Specially Serviced Loan, then any related Repurchased Note shall also be a Specially Serviced Loan under this
Agreement. The Special Servicer shall cause such related Repurchased Note to be specially serviced for the benefit of the applicable
Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller in accordance with the terms and provisions set forth in this Agreement and shall be entitled
to any Special Servicing Fee, Workout Fee or Liquidation Fee payable to the Special Servicer under this Agreement as with respect
to a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan.

    -287-

     

    
(d) 
        If (A) the Master Servicer shall pay any amount to any Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to
the terms hereof in the belief or expectation that a related payment has been made or will be received or collected in connection
with any or all of the applicable Mortgage Notes and (B) such related payment is not received or collected by the Master Servicer,
then the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller shall promptly on demand by the Master Servicer return such amount to the
Master Servicer. If the Master Servicer determines at any time that any amount received or collected by the Master Servicer in
respect of any Joint Mortgage Loan to which this Section 3.30 applies must be returned to the related Mortgagor or paid
to any other person or entity pursuant to any insolvency law or otherwise, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
the Master Servicer shall not be required to distribute any portion thereof to the related Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller,
and such Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller shall promptly on demand by the Master Servicer repay (which obligation shall survive
the termination of this Agreement) any portion thereof that the Master Servicer shall have distributed to such Repurchasing Mortgage
Loan Seller, together with interest thereon at such rate, if any, as the Master Servicer may pay to the related Mortgagor or such
other person or entity with respect thereto.

(e) 
         Subject to this Agreement (including, without limitation, the consent and consultation rights of the
Directing Certificateholder and any consultation rights of the Operating Advisor), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer,
as applicable, on behalf of the holders of any of the Repurchased Notes, shall have the exclusive right and obligation to (i)
administer, service and make all decisions and determinations regarding the related Joint Mortgage Loan and (ii) enforce the applicable
Mortgage Loan documents as provided hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, the Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may agree to any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of, forgive interest on
and principal of, capitalize interest on, permit the release, addition or substitution of collateral securing, and/or permit the
release of the related Mortgagor on or any guarantor of any Joint Mortgage Loan it is required to service and administer as contemplated
by this Section 3.30, without the consent of the related Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller, subject, however, to the terms
of this Agreement as they pertain to a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan.

(f) 
         In taking or refraining from taking any action permitted hereunder, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer
shall each be subject to the same degree of care with respect to the administration and servicing of the Joint Mortgage Loans
to which this Section 3.30 applies as is consistent with this Agreement and shall be liable to any Repurchasing Mortgage
Loan Seller only to the same extent as set forth herein with respect to any holder of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan.

(g) 
        If the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer has made a Servicing Advance with respect
to any Repurchased Note which would otherwise be reimbursable to such advancing party under this Agreement, and such Advance is
determined to be a Nonrecoverable Advance, the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller shall reimburse the Trust in an amount
equal to such Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller’s Mortgage Loan Seller Percentage Interest of such Nonrecoverable Advance
with interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be obligated
to reimburse the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (and amounts due to the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage
Loan Seller shall not be offset) for Advances or interest thereon or any 

    -288-

     

    
amounts
related to any Mortgage Loans or any other Joint Mortgage Loan other than such amounts relating to the applicable Repurchased
Note. To the extent that the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller reimburses any such Nonrecoverable Advances and such
amounts are subsequently recovered, the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller shall receive a reimbursement from such recovery
based on its Mortgage Loan Seller Percentage Interest of such recovery. This reimbursement right shall not limit the Trustee’s,
the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s rights to reimbursement under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein, the total liability of each Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller shall not exceed an amount equal
to its Mortgage Loan Seller Percentage Interest of the amount to be reimbursed.

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

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

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

Section
3.31    Litigation Control.

(a) 
        With respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan (other than any Excluded Loan), any Serviced Companion
Loan or any related REO Loan or related REO Property, the Special Servicer shall, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, direct,
manage, prosecute and/or defend any action brought by a Mortgagor, guarantor, other obligor on the related Mortgage Note or any
Affiliates thereof (each a “Borrower-Related Party”) against the Trust, the Master Servicer and/or the Special
Servicer or any predecessor master servicer or special servicer, and represent the interests of the Trust in any litigation relating
to the rights and obligations of the Trust, or of the Mortgagor or other Borrower-Related Party under the related Mortgage Loan
documents, or with respect to the related Mortgaged Property or other collateral securing such Mortgage Loan (or related Whole
Loan), or otherwise with respect to the enforcement of the obligations of a Borrower-Related Party under the related Mortgage
Loan documents (“Trust-Related Litigation”). In the event that the Master Servicer is named in any Trust-Related
Litigation but the Special Servicer is not named in such Trust-Related Litigation (regardless of whether the Trust is named in
such Trust-Related Litigation), the Master Servicer shall notify the Special Servicer of such litigation as soon as reasonably
practicable but in any event no later than within ten (10) Business Days of the Master Servicer receiving service of such Trust-Related
Litigation.

(b) 
        With respect to any Non-Specially Serviced Loan and to the extent the Master Servicer is named in the
Trust-Related Litigation, and neither the Trust nor the Special Servicer is named, in order to effectuate the role of the Special
Servicer as contemplated by Section 3.31(a) above, the Master Servicer shall (i) provide quarterly (unless requested in
writing from time to time on a more frequent basis) status reports to the Special Servicer regarding such Trust-Related Litigation;
(ii) use reasonable efforts to have the Trust replace the Master Servicer as the appropriate party to the lawsuit; and (iii) so
long as the Master Servicer remains a party to such lawsuit, consult with, and take direction from, the Special Servicer with
respect to material decisions and material monetary settlements related to the interests of the Trust in such Trust-Related Litigation,
including but not limited to the selection of counsel. If and/or once the Trust and/or the Special Servicer are named, the Special
Servicer shall assume control of the Trust-Related Litigation as provided in Section 3.31(a) above, the Master Servicer
shall no longer have the reporting obligations set forth above and the Special Servicer’s selection of counsel shall be
subject to the consent of the Master Servicer which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Further, if there are claims against
the Master Servicer, the Trust, and the Special Servicer, each party at the request of the other shall enter into a joint defense
agreement in accordance with Section 3.31(h) below.

(c)         
The Special Servicer shall not (i) undertake (or direct the Master Servicer to undertake) any material settlement of any Trust-Related
Litigation or (ii) initiate any material Trust-Related Litigation unless and until (A) it has notified in writing the Directing
Certificateholder (prior to a Control Termination Event and subject to the DCH Limitations)
(to the extent the identity of the Directing Certificateholder is actually known to the Special Servicer; provided that
the Special Servicer shall make due inquiry of the Certificate Administrator as to the identity of the Directing Certificateholder)
and the related holder of any Serviced Companion Loan (if such matter affects such related Serviced Companion Loan) (to the extent
the identity of the holder of such Serviced Companion Loan is actually known to the Special Servicer) and (B) the Directing Certificateholder
(prior to a Control Termination Event and subject to the DCH

    -290-

     

    
Limitations)
has not objected in writing within five (5) Business Days of having been notified thereof and having been provided with all information
that the Directing Certificateholder has reasonably requested with respect thereto promptly following its receipt of the subject
notice (it being understood and agreed that if such written objection has not been received by the Special Servicer within such

without waiting for the Directing Certificateholder’s response.

(d) 
        Notwithstanding Section 3.31(c) above, neither the Special Servicer nor the Master Servicer

the scope of the Special Servicer’s or the Master Servicer’s, as applicable, responsibilities under this Agreement.

(e) 
        Notwithstanding the right of the Special Servicer provided under this Section 3.31 to represent

or consent to injunctive relief on the part of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, 

    -291-

     

    
and
the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer are each fully released, (ii) the cost of such settlement or any resulting judgment
is and shall be paid by the Trust and payment of such cost or judgment is provided for in this Agreement, (iii) each of the Master
Servicer and the Special Servicer is and shall be indemnified as and to the extent provided in this Agreement for all costs and
expenses incurred in defending and settling the Trust-Related Litigation and for any judgment, (iv) any such action taken by the

the Servicing Standard and (v) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, provides the Special Servicer or the
Master Servicer, as applicable, with assurance reasonably satisfactory to the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable,
as to the items in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv).

(h)

agrees (both authority and agreement to be in writing), to make certain decisions or control certain Trust-Related Litigation
on behalf of the Trust in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

(j)            Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) in the event that any action, suit, litigation or proceeding names
the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Operating Advisor or the Asset Representations Reviewer, as applicable,
in its individual capacity, or in the event that any judgment is rendered against the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee,
the Custodian, the Operating Advisor or the Asset Representations Reviewer, as applicable, in its individual capacity, the Certificate
Administrator, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Operating Advisor or the Asset Representations Reviewer, as applicable, upon prior
written notice to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may retain counsel and appear in any such proceeding

or claim); (ii) in the event of any action, suit, litigation or proceeding, other than an action, suit, litigation or proceeding
relating to the enforcement of the obligations of a Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor under the related Mortgage Loan documents,

the Special Servicer shall be responsible for any delay due to the unwillingness of the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee
or the Custodian, as applicable, to grant such consent); and (iii) in the event that any court finds that the Certificate Administrator,
the Trustee, the Custodian, the Operating Advisor or the Asset Representations Reviewer, as 

    -292-

     

    
applicable,
is a necessary party in respect of any action, suit, litigation or proceeding relating to or arising from this Agreement or any
Mortgage Loan, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Operating Advisor or the Asset Representations Reviewer,
as applicable, shall have the right to retain counsel and appear in any such proceeding on its own behalf in order to protect
and represent its interests, whether as the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Operating Advisor or the
Asset Representations Reviewer, as applicable, or individually (but not to otherwise direct, manage or prosecute such litigation
or claim); provided, that nothing in this subsection shall be interpreted to preclude the Special Servicer (with respect
to any material Trust-Related Litigation, with the consent or consultation of the Directing Certificateholder (prior to a Control
Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event, respectively, and in any event subject to the DCH Limitations), to the extent
required in Section 3.31(c)) from initiating any action, suit, litigation or proceeding in its name as representative of
the Trustee of the Trust. References to Mortgage Loans (including references to Mortgagors, guarantors, obligors and Mortgaged
Properties) in this Section 3.31 shall mean Serviced Mortgage Loans.

(k) 
        Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Section, this Section shall not
apply to any Trust-Related Litigation and shall have no force and effect with respect thereto, in the event that either (i) at
the time such Trust-Related Litigation is commenced or at any time during the continuance of such Trust-Related Litigation, LNR

notice of its replacement as Special Servicer with respect to the related Mortgage Loan or related Whole Loan whether or not such
replacement is effective or (ii) the Depositor, any Sponsor, any Mortgage Loan Seller, any Initial Purchaser, any Underwriter,

Whole Loan (or any portion thereof) or the related Mortgaged Property to which Trust-Related Litigation relates, unless otherwise
agreed to in writing by each of the Depositor, Sponsor, Mortgage Loan Seller, Initial Purchaser, Underwriter, or Affiliate that
is such a party or holds such interest. In each case under clauses (i) and (ii) above, the applicable party listed above shall
use reasonable efforts to provide notice of such occurrence to the Master Servicer pursuant to this Agreement. For the avoidance
of doubt, the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer relating to any Trust-Related Litigation
shall be limited solely to the representation of the Trust and itself, separate and apart from the interests of any other party
thereto. For the further avoidance of doubt, in such circumstance described in this paragraph, the rights and obligations of the
Master Servicer and the Special Servicer relating to litigation shall be as otherwise set forth with respect to servicing in this
Agreement. In addition, nothing in this Section 3.31 shall be construed to alter, modify, limit or expand the Operating

deliver any Excluded Information in accordance with this Section 3.32 until such party has received written notice with

in this Agreement shall prohibit the Directing Certificateholder or any Controlling Class Certificateholder from receiving, requesting
or reviewing any Excluded Information relating to any Excluded Controlling Class Loan with respect to which the Directing Certificateholder

shall require the consent or approval of the Special Servicer.

(iii) 
      Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any action in respect of a Serviced Mortgage Loan (and any
related Serviced Companion Loan) that is not a Specially Serviced Loan that the Special Servicer is responsible for processing
as described in clause (ii) above, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer may mutually agree that the Master

    -295-

     

    
Servicer
shall process such action, subject to the Special Servicer’s consent (pursuant to clause (b) below).

(b)(i) 
    The Master Servicer shall not agree to any modification, waiver, amendment, consent or other action that constitutes
a Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision (or make a determination not to take action with respect thereto) that it is processing
unless the Master Servicer has obtained the consent of the Special Servicer, which consent shall be deemed given (unless earlier
objected to by the Special Servicer) ten (10) Business Days after the Special Servicer’s receipt from the Master Servicer
of the Master Servicer’s written recommendation and analysis with respect to such action and all information reasonably
requested by the Special Servicer and in the possession of the Master Servicer in order to grant or withhold consent with respect
to such action; provided, that, in any event the consent of the Directing Certificateholder (to the extent provided under Section
6.08) and any applicable Companion Loan holder (to the extent provided under the related Intercreditor Agreement) shall be
required in respect of a Major Decision. Upon receipt by the Special Servicer of the Master Servicer’s written recommendation
and analysis, the Special Servicer shall promptly provide such information to the Directing Certificateholder for its review.

 (ii)        
The Special Servicer shall be responsible for promptly seeking any required consent of the Directing Certificateholder (and, if
consultation is required, shall be responsible for promptly consulting with the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention
Consultation Party) as and to the extent required under Section 6.08. In addition, if an Operating Advisor Consultation
Event has occurred and is continuing, the Special Servicer shall be obligated to consult with the Operating Advisor with respect

AB Whole Loan, the Special Servicer shall be responsible for seeking any required consent of the holder of the related Servicing
Shift Control Note or Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan, as applicable (and, if consultation is required, will be responsible
for consulting with such party) as and to the extent required under the related Intercreditor Agreement. With respect to any party
in this clause (ii) whose consent is sought, a response by such party that it is reviewing the relevant action shall not preclude
it from providing its consent at a later time, but shall preclude a determination that it has been deemed to consent to the relevant
action. 

(iii) 
      With respect to any Mortgagor request or other action in respect of a Non-Specially Serviced Loan that is
not a Special Servicer Decision or a Major Decision, the Master Servicer
shall process such request or action and shall not be required to obtain the consent of, or consult with, any party, including
the Special Servicer, the Directing Certificateholder, the Operating Advisor and the Risk Retention Consultation Party.

    twenty-fourth, to the Holders of the Class G-RR Certificates, first, up to an amount equal to
the unreimbursed Realized Losses previously allocated to such Class, and second, for interest on such unreimbursed Realized

(b) 
        [Reserved].

(c) 
        On each Distribution Date, each Lower-Tier Regular Interest shall be deemed to receive distributions
in respect of principal or reimbursement (with interest) of Realized Losses in an amount equal to the amount of principal or reimbursement
(with interest) of Realized Losses actually distributable to the Holders of the respective Related Certificates as provided in
Sections 4.01(a), 4.01(d), 4.01(f) and 4.01(i) such that at all times the Lower-Tier Principal Amount
of each Class of Lower-Tier Regular Interests is equal to the Certificate Balance of the Class of Related Certificates. On each
Distribution Date, each Lower-Tier Regular Interest shall be deemed to receive distributions in respect of interest in an amount
equal to the Interest Distribution Amount in respect of its Related Certificates plus a pro rata portion (or, with respect
to clause (iv) below, the entire portion) of the Interest Distribution Amount in respect of (i) in the case of the Class LA1,
Class LASB, Class LA2 and Class LA3 Uncertificated Interests, the Class X-A Certificates, (ii) in the case of the Class LAS, Class
LB and Class LC Uncertificated Interests, the Class X-B Certificates, (iii) in the case of the Class LE and Class LD Uncertificated
Interest, the Class X-D Certificates and (iv) in the case of the Class LF Uncertificated Interest, the 

    -301-

     

    
Class
X-F Certificates, in each case, computed based on an interest rate equal to the excess of the Weighted Average Net Mortgage Rate
over the Pass-Through Rate of the Related Certificates and a notional amount equal to its related Lower-Tier Principal Amount,
in each case to the extent actually distributable thereon as provided in Section 4.01(a). Amounts distributable pursuant
to this paragraph are referred to herein collectively as the “Lower-Tier
Distribution Amount”,
and shall be made by the Certificate Administrator by deeming such Lower-Tier Distribution Amount to be withdrawn from the Lower-Tier
REMIC Distribution Account to be deposited in the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account.

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

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

(d)        
After the Certificate Balance of any Class of Certificates has been reduced to zero, such Class shall not be entitled to any further
distributions in respect of interest or principal other than reimbursement of Realized Losses and other amounts provided for in
this Section 4.01.

(e) 
       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 Loan during the related Collection
Period shall be distributable as follows: if any Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium is collected during any Collection
Period with respect to any Mortgage Loan, then on the Distribution Date immediately succeeding the end of such Collection Period,
the Certificate Administrator shall pay to the Holders of each Class of the Class A-1, Class A-SB, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class
A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates, the product of (a) the amount of such Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment
Premium (net of any Liquidation Fees payable therefrom), (b) the related Base Interest Fraction for such Class and the applicable
principal prepayment, and (c) a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the amount of principal distributed to such Class
for that Distribution Date, and the denominator of which is the total amount of principal distributed to all Principal Balance
Certificates (other than the Class F Certificates and the Control Eligible Certificates) for that Distribution Date. Any Yield
Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium described in the preceding sentence and remaining after the distributions in the preceding
sentence (as to the applicable Distribution Date, the “Class X YM Distribution Amount”) shall be distributed
to the holders of the Class X Certificates (other than the Class X-F Certificates) as follows: (1) first, to the Class X-A and
Class X-B Certificates, in the case of each such Class in an amount equal to the product of (i) a fraction, the numerator of which
is equal to the amount of principal distributed on the applicable Distribution Date with respect to the Underlying Class(es) 

    -302-

     

    
of
Principal Balance Certificates for such Class of Class X Certificates, and the denominator of which is the total amount of principal
distributed on the applicable Distribution Date with respect to the Principal Balance Certificates, multiplied by (ii) the Class
X YM Distribution Amount for the applicable Distribution Date, and (2) second, to the Class X-D Certificates, in an amount equal
to the Class X YM Distribution Amount minus the distributions to the Holders of the Class X-A and Class X-B Certificates pursuant
to clause (1) of this sentence. 

Notwithstanding
any of the foregoing to the contrary, if at any time the Certificate Balances of the Principal Balance Certificates (other than
the Class F Certificates and the Control Eligible Certificates) have been reduced to zero as a result of the allocation of principal
payments on the Mortgage Loans, and any Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium is collected during any Collection Period
with respect to any Mortgage Loan, then on the Distribution Date immediately succeeding the end of such Collection Period, the
Certificate Administrator shall pay to the Holders of each remaining Class of Principal Balance Certificates then entitled to
distributions of principal on such Distribution Date the product of (a) any Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium distributable
on the subject Distribution Date (net of any Liquidation Fees payable therefrom), and (b) a fraction, the numerator of which is
equal to the amount of principal distributed to such Class for that Distribution Date, and the denominator of which is the total
amount of principal distributed to all Principal Balance Certificates for that Distribution Date. 

For
purposes of the first this Section 4.01(e), 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, 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 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 both the Mortgage Rate on such Mortgage
Loan and the Pass-Through Rate on such Class 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 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 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, such discount rate (as reported by the
applicable 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, 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 that is not related to an ARD Loan) or the related Anticipated Repayment Date (in the case of a Mortgage
Loan that is related to an ARD 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.

No
Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class V or Class R Certificates. 

All
distributions of Yield Maintenance Charges and Prepayment Premiums made in respect of the respective Classes of Regular Certificates
on each Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01(e) shall first be deemed to be distributed from the Lower-Tier
REMIC to the Upper-Tier REMIC in respect of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests, pro rata based upon the amount of principal
distributed in respect of each such Class of Lower-Tier Regular Interests for such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01(c)
above.

(f) 
        On each Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall withdraw amounts from the Gain-on-Sale
Reserve Account (other than amounts with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) up to an amount equal to the Gain-on-Sale Remittance
Amount. The Certificate Administrator shall deposit such amount in the Distribution Account for distribution to the Holders of
the Regular Certificates as part of the Available Funds (in order of distribution priority) (first deeming such amounts to be
distributed with respect to the Related Lower-Tier Regular Interests). Any amounts remaining in the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account
after such distributions shall be applied to offset future Realized Losses allocated to, and cover future shortfalls in distributions
of interest and principal with respect to, the Regular Certificates. Upon termination of the Trust, any amounts remaining in the
Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class R Certificates from the Lower-Tier REMIC in respect
of the Class LR Interest.

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

 

    -304-

     

    

 

Certificate
at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final
distribution.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

    -305-

     

    

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

    -306-

     

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

 

Any Late Collections received by the Master Servicer from the related Mortgagor that are allocable to a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (or, if such Companion Loan has been securitized, reimbursable to the Other Master Servicer or Other Trustee under the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement) shall be remitted by the Master Servicer to the holder thereof (or such Other Master Servicer or Other Trustee) within one (1) Business Day of receipt of properly identified and available funds; provided, that to the extent any such amounts are received after 3:00 p.m. Eastern time on any given Business Day, the Master Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to remit such Late Collections to such party within one (1) Business Day of receipt of properly identified and available funds but, in any event, the Master Servicer shall remit such amounts within two (2) Business Days of receipt of properly identified and available funds.

 

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

Upon receipt of an Asset Review Report Summary from the Asset Representations Reviewer required to be delivered pursuant to Section 12.01(b), the Certificate Administrator shall (i) include such Asset Review Report Summary in Item 1B on the Form 10-D for such distribution period in which such Asset Review Report Summary was received, and (ii) post such Asset Review Report Summary to the Certificate Administrator’s Website not later than two (2) Business Days after receipt of such Asset Review Report Summary from the Asset Representations Reviewer.

 

(b)           With respect to each Serviced Whole Loan, on each Serviced Whole Loan Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall make its servicer remittance report for the related Distribution Date available to each Other Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall make the CREFC® Reports (except the CREFC® Bond Level File, the CREFC® Collateral Summary File, the CREFC® Special Servicer Loan File, the CREFC® Operating Statement Analysis Report and the CREFC® NOI Adjustment Worksheet) available (i) prior to the securitization of any note representing an interest in a Serviced Companion Loan, to the related Serviced Companion Noteholder on each Distribution Date; and (ii) following the securitization of any note representing an interest in a Serviced Companion Loan to the related Other Master Servicer (A) not later than two Business Days after the Determination Date or (B) if required under the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement, the earlier of (x) the Remittance Date and (y) the Business Day following the “determination date” (or analogous term) under the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement; provided that the date of delivery is required under this clause (ii)(B) is at least one Business Day after the scheduled monthly payment date under the related loan agreement.

 

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

 

    -311-

     

    
otherwise meets the requirements set forth herein with respect to the form and substance of such information or reports. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to attach to any report provided pursuant to this subsection, any reasonable disclaimer with respect to information provided, or any assumptions required to be made by such report.

 

The Special Servicer shall from time to time (and, in any event, as may be reasonably required by the Master Servicer) provide the Master Servicer with such information in its possession regarding the Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties as may be necessary for the Master Servicer to prepare each report and any supplemental information to be provided by the Master Servicer to the Certificate Administrator. None of the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Depositor shall have any obligation to recompute, verify or recalculate the information provided thereto by the Master Servicer. Unless the Certificate Administrator has actual knowledge that any report or file received from the Master Servicer contains erroneous information, the Certificate Administrator is authorized to rely thereon in calculating and making distributions to Certificateholders in accordance with Section 4.01, preparing the Distribution Date Statement required by Section 4.02(a) and allocating Realized Losses to the Certificates in accordance with Section 4.04.

 

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

 

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

 

(e)          The information to which any Certificateholder is entitled is limited to the information gathered and provided to the Certificateholder by the parties hereto pursuant to this Agreement and by acceptance of any Certificate, each Certificateholder agrees that except as 

 

    -312-

     

    
specifically provided herein, no Certificateholder shall contact any Mortgagor directly with respect to any Mortgage Loan.

 

(f)          Upon the reasonable request of the Directing Certificateholder or any Controlling Class Certificateholder that, in either case, is an Excluded Controlling Class Holder with respect to any Excluded Controlling Class Loan identified to the Master Servicer’s (in the case of a Non-Specially Serviced Loan) or the Special Servicer’s (in the case of a Specially Serviced Loan) reasonable satisfaction (at the expense of the Directing Certificateholder or such Controlling Class Certificateholder) and if such information is in the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s possession, as applicable, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall provide or make available (or forward electronically) to the Directing Certificateholder or such Controlling Class Certificateholder, as applicable, (at the expense of the Directing Certificateholder or such Controlling Class Certificateholder, as applicable) any Excluded Information (available to Privileged Persons through the Certificate Administrator’s Website but not accessible to the Directing Certificateholder or such Controlling Class Certificateholder, as applicable, through the Certificate Administrator’s Website because the Directing Certificateholder or such Controlling Class Certificateholder, as applicable, is an Excluded Controlling Class Holder with respect to another Excluded Controlling Class Loan) relating to any Excluded Controlling Class Loan with respect to which the Directing Certificateholder or such Controlling Class Certificateholder, as applicable, is not a Borrower Party; provided that, in connection therewith, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer may require a written confirmation executed by the requesting Person substantially in such form as may be reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, generally to the effect that such Person is the Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder, will keep such Excluded Information confidential and is not a Borrower Party, upon which the Master Servicer or Special Servicer may conclusively rely. In addition, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on delivery from the Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder, as applicable, of an Investor Certification substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1D that such Directing Certificateholder or Controlling Class Certificateholder is not an Excluded Controlling Class Holder with respect to a particular Mortgage Loan. For the avoidance of doubt, the Special Servicer referenced in this Section 4.02(f) shall include any applicable Excluded Special Servicer with respect to the related Excluded Special Servicer Loan(s).

 

Section 4.03          P&I Advances. (a) On or before 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on each P&I Advance Date, the Master Servicer shall (i) remit to the Certificate Administrator for deposit from its own funds into the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, an amount equal to the aggregate amount of P&I Advances, if any, with respect to the Mortgage Loans to be made in respect of the related Distribution Date, (ii) apply amounts held in the Collection Account, for future distribution to Certificateholders in subsequent months in discharge of any such obligation to make P&I Advances or (iii) make P&I Advances in the form of any combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the total amount of P&I Advances to be made. Any amounts held in the Collection Account for future distribution and so used to make P&I Advances shall be appropriately reflected in the Master Servicer’s records and replaced by the Master Servicer by deposit in the Collection Account on or before the next succeeding P&I Advance Date (to the extent not previously replaced through the deposit of Late Collections of the delinquent principal and/or interest in respect of which such P&I Advances were made). The Master Servicer shall notify the Certificate Administrator of (i) the aggregate amount of P&I Advances for a Distribution Date and (ii) the

 

    -313-

     

    
amount of any Nonrecoverable P&I Advances for such Distribution Date, on or before two (2) Business Days prior to such Distribution Date. If the Master Servicer fails to make a required P&I Advance by 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on any P&I Advance Date, the Trustee shall make such P&I Advance pursuant to Section 7.05 by noon, New York City time, on the related Distribution Date, unless the Master Servicer shall have cured such failure (and provided written notice of such cure to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator) by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such Distribution Date. In the event that the Master Servicer fails to make a required P&I Advance hereunder, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Trustee of such circumstances by 4:30 p.m., New York City time, on the related P&I Advance Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the portion of any P&I Advance equal to the CREFC® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee shall not be remitted to the Certificate Administrator for deposit into the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account but shall be deposited into the Collection Account for payment to CREFC® on such Distribution Date. If the Master Servicer or the Trustee makes a P&I Advance with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, then it shall provide to the related Other Master Servicer or Non-Serviced Master Servicer, as applicable, and Other Trustee or Non-Serviced Trustee, as applicable, (and, to the extent required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the related Other Special Servicer or Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as applicable) under the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement or Non-Serviced PSA, as applicable written notice of the amount of such P&I Advance with respect to such Mortgage Loan within two (2) Business Days of making such P&I Advance.

 

(b)           Subject to Section 4.03(c) and Section 4.03(e) below, the amount of P&I Advances to be made by the Master Servicer with respect to any Distribution Date, and each Mortgage Loan, shall be equal to: (i) the Periodic Payments (net of related Servicing Fees, any related Excess Interest (if applicable) and, in the case of any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, a fee accruing at the related Pari Passu Loan Primary Servicing Fee Rate) other than Balloon Payments, that were due on the Mortgage Loan (including any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any successor REO Loan during the related Collection Period and were not received as of the close of business on the Business Day preceding the related P&I Advance Date (or not advanced by any Sub-Servicer on behalf of the Master Servicer) and (ii) with respect to each Mortgage Loan delinquent in respect of its Balloon Payment as of the P&I Advance Date (including any successor REO Loan as to which the related Balloon Payment would have been past due), an amount equal to the Assumed Scheduled Payment therefor. Subject to subsection (c) below, the obligation of the Master Servicer to make such P&I Advances is mandatory, and with respect to any Mortgage Loan (including any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or any successor REO Loan, shall continue until the Distribution Date on which the proceeds, if any, received in connection with a Liquidation Event or the disposition of the REO Property, as the case may be, with respect thereto are to be distributed. No P&I Advances shall be made with respect to any Companion Loan (or any REO Loan that is a successor to such Companion Loan).

 

(c)           Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no P&I Advance shall be required to be made hereunder if such P&I Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance. With respect to each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall make its determination (based on information provided by the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer and Non-Serviced Special Servicer) that it has made a P&I Advance on such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan that is a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance with respect to such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan 

 

    -314-

     

    
independently of any determination made by the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer or the applicable Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as the case may be, under the applicable Non-Serviced PSA in respect of the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan. If the Master Servicer or Special Servicer determines that a proposed P&I Advance with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, if made, or any outstanding P&I Advance with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan previously made, would be, or is, as applicable, a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Master Servicer shall provide the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer and Non-Serviced Trustee (and if required by the related Intercreditor Agreement, the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer) or applicable Other Master Servicer and Other Trustee (and if required by the related Intercreditor Agreement, the related Other Special Servicer), as the case may be, written notice of such determination within two (2) Business Days of the date of such determination. If the Master Servicer receives written notice from the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as the case may be, that either has determined in accordance with the applicable Non-Serviced PSA with respect to a Non-Serviced Companion Loan, that any proposed advance under the applicable Non-Serviced PSA that is similar to a P&I Advance would be, or any outstanding advance under such Non-Serviced PSA that is similar to a P&I Advance is, a nonrecoverable advance, then the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Trustee may, based upon such determination, determine that any P&I Advance previously made or proposed to be made with respect to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, will be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance. Thereafter, in either case, the Master Servicer shall not be required to make any additional P&I Advances with respect to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan unless and until the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, determines that any such additional P&I Advances with respect to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan would not be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, which determination may be as a result of consultation with the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as the case may be, or otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall have the sole discretion provided in this Agreement to determine that any future P&I Advance or outstanding P&I Advance would be, or is, as applicable, a Nonrecoverable Advance.

 

(d)           In connection with the recovery of any P&I Advance out of the Collection Account, pursuant to Section 3.05(a), the Master Servicer shall be entitled to pay the Trustee and itself (in that order of priority) as the case may be, out of any amounts then on deposit in the Collection Account (but in no event from any funds allocable to a Serviced Companion Noteholder (unless related thereto), except to the extent permitted pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement), interest at the Reimbursement Rate in effect from time to time, accrued on the amount of such P&I Advance from the date made to but not including the date of reimbursement; provided, that no interest will accrue on any P&I Advance (i) if the related Periodic Payment is received on or before the related Due Date has passed and any applicable Grace Period has expired or (ii) if the related Periodic Payment is received after the Determination Date but on or prior to the related P&I Advance Date. The Master Servicer shall reimburse itself and/or the Trustee, as the case may be, for any outstanding P&I Advance, subject to Section 3.17 of this Agreement, as soon as practicably possible after funds available for such purpose are deposited in the Collection Account.

 

    -315-

     

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

 

(f)           In no event shall either the Master Servicer or the Trustee be required to advance on behalf of any Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan holder any cure payment that such Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan holder is entitled to make.

 

Section 4.04          Allocation of Realized Losses. (a) On each Distribution Date, immediately following the distributions to be made on such date pursuant to Section 4.01, the Certificate Administrator shall calculate the amount, if any, by which (i) the aggregate Stated Principal Balance (for purposes of this calculation only, not giving effect to any reductions of the Stated Principal Balance for payments of principal collected on the Mortgage Loans that were used to reimburse any Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(v) to the extent such Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts are not otherwise determined to be Nonrecoverable Advances) of the Mortgage Loans and any successor REO Loans immediately following such Distribution Date, is less than (ii) the then-aggregate Certificate Balance of the Principal Balance Certificates after giving effect to distributions of principal on such Distribution Date (any such deficit, the “Realized Loss”). Any allocation of Realized Losses to a Class of Regular Certificates shall be made by reducing the Certificate Balance thereof by the amount so allocated. Any Realized Losses so allocated to a Class of Regular Certificates shall be allocated among the respective Certificates of such Class in proportion to the Percentage Interests evidenced thereby. The allocation of Realized Losses shall constitute an allocation of losses and other shortfalls experienced by the Trust. Reimbursement of previously allocated Realized Losses will not constitute distributions of principal for any purpose and will not result in an additional reduction in the Certificate Balance of the Class of Certificates in respect of which any such reimbursement is made. With respect to any Class of Principal Balance Certificates, to the extent any Nonrecoverable Advances (plus interest thereon) that were reimbursed from principal collections on the Mortgage Loans and previously resulted in a reduction of the Principal Distribution Amount are subsequently recovered on the related Mortgage Loan, the amount of

 

    -316-

     

    
such recovery will be added to the Certificate Balance of the Class or Classes of Principal Balance Certificates that previously were allocated Realized Losses, in sequential order, in each case up to the amount of the unreimbursed Realized Losses allocated to such Class of Principal Balance Certificates.

 

(b)           On each Distribution Date, the Certificate Balances of the Principal Balance Certificates will be reduced without distribution, as a write-off to the extent of any Realized Losses, if any, allocable to such Certificates with respect to such Distribution Date. Any such write off shall be allocated first, to the Class H-RR, Class G-RR, Class F, Class E, Class D, Class C, Class B and Class A-S Certificates, in that order, and second, pro rata (based on their respective Certificate Balances), to the Class A-1, Class A-SB, Class A-2 and Class A-3 Certificates, in each case until the remaining Certificate Balances of such Classes of Certificates have been reduced to zero.

 

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

 

Section 4.05          Appraisal Reduction Amounts; Collateral Deficiency Amounts. (a) For purposes of (x) determining the Controlling Class and whether a Control Termination Event or an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing and (y) determining the Voting Rights of the related Classes for purposes of removal of the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, (A) Appraisal Reduction Amounts (with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, to the extent allocated to the related Mortgage Loan) will be allocated to each Class of Certificates in reverse sequential order to notionally reduce the related Certificate Balances until the Certificate Balance of each such Class has been reduced to zero (i.e., first, to the Class H-RR, Class G-RR, Class F, Class E, Class D, Class C, Class B and Class A-S Certificates, in that order, and finally, pro rata based on their Certificate Balances, to the Class A-1, Class A-SB, Class A-2 and Class A-3 Certificates), and (B) Collateral Deficiency Amounts (with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, to the extent allocated to the related Mortgage Loan) will be allocated to each Class of Control Eligible Certificates in reverse sequential order to notionally reduce the related Certificate Balances until the Certificate Balance of each such Class has been reduced to zero (i.e., to the Class H-RR and Class G-RR, in that order).

 

As of the first Determination Date after a Serviced Mortgage Loan becomes an AB Modified Loan, the Special Servicer shall calculate whether a Collateral Deficiency Amount exists with respect to such AB Modified Loan, taking into account the most recent Appraisal obtained by the Special Servicer with respect to such Mortgage Loan, and all other information relevant to a Collateral Deficiency Amount determination. Upon obtaining knowledge or receipt of notice by the Special Servicer that a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan has become an AB Modified Loan, the Special Servicer shall (i) promptly request from the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer, Non-Serviced Special Servicer and Non-Serviced Trustee the most recent appraisal with respect to such AB Modified Loan, in addition to all other information reasonably required by the Special Servicer to calculate whether a Collateral Deficiency Amount exists with respect to such AB Modified Loan, and (ii) as of the first Determination Date following receipt by the Special Servicer of the appraisal and any other information set forth in the immediately preceding clause (i) that the

 

    -317-

     

    
Special Servicer reasonably expects to receive, calculate whether a Collateral Deficiency Amount exists with respect to such AB Modified Loan, taking into account the most recent appraisal obtained by the Non-Serviced Special Servicer with respect to such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, and all other information relevant to a Collateral Deficiency Amount determination. Upon obtaining knowledge or receipt of notice by any other party to this Agreement that a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan has become an AB Modified Loan, such party shall promptly notify the Special Servicer thereof. Upon reasonable prior written request, the Master Servicer shall provide the Special Servicer with information in its possession that is reasonably required to calculate or recalculate any Collateral Deficiency Amount. None of the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall calculate or verify any Collateral Deficiency Amount.

 

The Special Servicer shall promptly notify the Master Servicer and the Certificate Administrator of the amount of any Appraisal Reduction Amount and any Collateral Deficiency Amount with respect to each Mortgage Loan, AB Modified Loan or Serviced Whole Loan (which notification to the Certificate Administrator may be satisfied through delivery of such information included in the CREFC® Loan Periodic Update File or the CREFC® Appraisal Reduction Template included in the CREFC® Investor Reporting Package or such other report or reports mutually agreed upon between the Master Servicer and the Certificate Administrator at such times required by, and otherwise in accordance with, Section 3.12(d)). Based on information in its possession, the Certificate Administrator shall determine from time to time which Class of Certificates is the Controlling Class. The Certificate Administrator shall provide notice of the identity of the Controlling Class as set forth in Section 3.23(m) and shall promptly post notice of any Appraisal Reduction Amount and/or Collateral Deficiency Amount, as applicable, to the Certificate Administrator’s Website. With respect to any Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount, as applicable, calculated for purposes of (x) determining the Controlling Class and whether a Control Termination Event, Consultation Termination Event or Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing and (y) determining the Voting Rights of the related Classes for purposes of removal of the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property will be determined on an “as-is” basis.

 

The Master Servicer and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the Special Servicer’s calculation or determination of any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount with respect to a Serviced Mortgage Loan. The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer’s or Non-Serviced Special Servicer’s, as applicable, calculation of any Appraisal Reduction Amount with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan.

 

(b)           (i) The Holders of the majority by Certificate Balance of any Class of Control Eligible Certificates that is determined at any time of determination to no longer be the Controlling Class (any such Class, an “Appraised-Out Class”) as a result of an Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount in respect of such Class shall have the right, at their sole expense, to require the Special Servicer to order (or, with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, require the Master Servicer to request from the applicable Non-Serviced Special Servicer) a second Appraisal of any Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan) for which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred or as to which there exists a Collateral Deficiency Amount (such Holders, the “Requesting Holders”). With respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Special

 

    -318-

     

    
Servicer shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that such Appraisal is delivered within thirty (30) days from receipt of the Requesting Holders’ written request and will ensure that such Appraisal is prepared on an “as-is” basis by an MAI appraiser (provided that such MAI appraiser may not be the same MAI appraiser that provided the Appraisal in respect of which the Requesting Holders are requesting the Special Servicer to obtain an additional Appraisal). With respect to any such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such second appraisal from the applicable Non-Serviced Special Servicer and to forward such second appraisal to the Special Servicer.

 

(ii)          Upon receipt of any supplemental Appraisal pursuant to clause (i) above, the Non-Serviced Special Servicer (for Appraisal Reduction Amounts on Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans to extent provided for in the applicable Non-Serviced PSA and applicable Intercreditor Agreement) and the Special Servicer (for Collateral Deficiency Amounts on Serviced Mortgage Loans and Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans and for Appraisal Reduction Amounts on Serviced Mortgage Loans) shall determine, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, whether, based on its assessment of such supplemental Appraisal, any recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount is warranted, and if so warranted, the Special Servicer shall recalculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount, as applicable, based on such supplemental Appraisal and any information received from the Master Servicer. If required by such recalculation, the Appraised-Out Class shall be reinstated as the Controlling Class and each Appraised-Out Class shall, if applicable, have its related Certificate Balance notionally restored to the extent required by such recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount, as applicable. The Holders of an Appraised-Out Class may not exercise any direction, control, consent and/or similar rights of the Controlling Class until such time, if any, as the Class is reinstated as the Controlling Class (such period beginning upon receipt by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, of any request to obtain a supplemental Appraisal pursuant to clause (i) above to but excluding the date on which either (A) the Master Servicer determines that no recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount is warranted or (B) the Special Servicer recalculates the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount, as applicable, based on the supplemental Appraisal, the “Appraisal Review Period”). The rights of the Controlling Class during each Appraisal Review Period shall be exercised by the most subordinate Class of Control Eligible Certificates that is not an Appraised-Out Class, if any, during such period.

 

(c)          The Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to order an Appraisal or conduct a valuation promptly upon the occurrence of an Appraisal Reduction Event with respect to a Serviced Mortgage Loan. On the first Determination Date occurring on or after the tenth business day following the later of (i) the date on which the Special Servicer receives the related Appraisal or conducts a valuation as described in the definition of “Appraisal Reduction Amount” and (ii) the date on which the related Appraisal Reduction Event occurred, the Special Servicer shall calculate and report to the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and, prior to the occurrence of any Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder, the Appraisal Reduction Amount, taking into account the results of such Appraisal or valuation and receipt of information requested by the Special Servicer from the Master Servicer reasonably necessary to calculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount. Such report 

 

    -319-

     

    
shall be forwarded by the Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer if the related Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan), to the extent a related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan has been included in a securitization transaction, to the master servicer of such securitization into which the such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan has been sold, or to the holder of any related Serviced Companion Loan.

 

With respect to each Serviced Mortgage Loan and Serviced Whole Loan as to which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred (unless such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan has become a Corrected Loan (for such purposes taking into account any amendment or modification of such Mortgage Loan, any related Companion Loan or Serviced Whole Loan)), the Special Servicer shall (1) within thirty (30) days of each anniversary of the related Appraisal Reduction Event, and (2) upon its determination that the value of the related Mortgaged Property has materially changed, notify the Master Servicer of the occurrence of such anniversary or determination and order an Appraisal (which may be an update of a prior Appraisal), the cost of which shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance or to the extent it would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, an expense of the Trust, or conduct an internal valuation, as applicable and, promptly following receipt of any such Appraisal or performance of such valuation (or receipt of any Appraisal obtained in accordance with Section 4.05(b) above), shall deliver a copy thereof to the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor and (prior to the occurrence of any Consultation Termination Event and subject to the DCH Limitations) the Directing Certificateholder. Based upon such Appraisal or internal valuation (or any Appraisal obtained in accordance with Section 4.05(b) above) and receipt of information reasonably requested by the Special Servicer from the Master Servicer necessary to calculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount that is either in the Master Servicer’s possession or reasonably obtainable by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer shall determine or redetermine, as applicable, and report to the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor and (prior to the occurrence of any Consultation Termination Event and subject to the DCH Limitations) the Directing Certificateholder, the amount and calculation or recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount with respect to such Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, and such report shall be delivered in the CREFC® Appraisal Reduction Template format; provided, that the Special Servicer shall not be liable for failure to comply with such duties insofar as such failure results from a failure of the Master Servicer to provide sufficient information to the Special Servicer to comply with such duties or failure by the Master Servicer to otherwise comply with its obligations hereunder. Such report shall also be promptly forwarded by the Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer if the related Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan), to the extent a related Serviced Companion Loan has been included in an Other Securitization, to the Other Servicer and the Other Trustee of such Other Securitization into which such Serviced Companion Loan has been sold, or to the holder of any related Serviced Companion Loan by the Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer if the related Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan). If the Special Servicer is required to redetermine the Appraisal Reduction Amount, such redetermined Appraisal Reduction Amount, shall replace the prior Appraisal Reduction Amount with respect to such Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable. Prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event (subject to the DCH Limitations), the Special Servicer shall consult with the Directing Certificateholder with respect to any Appraisal, valuation or downward adjustment in connection with an Appraisal Reduction Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to Section 4.05(b), the Special Servicer will not be required to obtain an Appraisal or conduct an internal valuation, as applicable, with respect to a Mortgage Loan or

 

    -320-

     

    
related Companion Loan or Serviced Whole Loan that is the subject of an Appraisal Reduction Event to the extent the Special Servicer has obtained an Appraisal or conducted such a valuation (in accordance with requirements of this Agreement), as applicable, with respect to the related Mortgaged Property within the twelve-month period immediately prior to the occurrence of the Appraisal Reduction Event. Instead, the Special Servicer may use the prior Appraisal or valuation, as applicable, in calculating any Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount with respect to such Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan or Serviced Whole Loan; provided that the Special Servicer is not aware of any material change to the related Mortgaged Property having occurred and affecting the validity of such Appraisal or valuation.

 

The Master Servicer shall deliver by electronic mail to the Special Servicer any information in its possession that is reasonably required to determine, calculate, redetermine or recalculate any Appraisal Reduction Amount, using reasonable efforts to deliver such information, within four (4) Business Days following the Special Servicer’s reasonable request therefor (which request shall be made promptly, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days, after the later of (i) the date on which the Special Servicer receives the related Appraisal or conducts a valuation as described in the definition of “Appraisal Reduction Amount” and (ii) the date on which the related Appraisal Reduction Event occurred); provided, the Special Servicer’s failure to timely make such request shall not relieve the Master Servicer of its obligation to use reasonable efforts to provide such information to the Special Servicer within four (4) Business Days following the Special Servicer’s reasonable request. The Master Servicer shall not calculate Appraisal Reduction Amounts or Collateral Deficiency Amounts.

 

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

 

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

Section 4.06          Grantor Trust Reporting. (a) The parties intend that the portion of the Trust Fund constituting the Grantor Trust, shall constitute, and that the affairs of the Grantor Trust shall be conducted so as to qualify such portion as, a “grantor trust” under subtitle A, chapter 1, subchapter J, part I, subpart E of the Code, and the provisions hereof shall be interpreted consistently with this intention. In furtherance of such intention, neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall have the power to vary the investment of the Holders of the Class V Certificates in the Grantor Trust so as to improve their rate of return. The Certificate Administrator shall prepare or cause to be prepared, submit to the Trustee for execution (and the Trustee shall timely execute and timely return to the Certificate Administrator) and timely file all Tax Returns in respect of the Grantor Trust. In addition, the Certificate Administrator shall (A) file, or cause to be filed, Internal Revenue Service Form 1041 (or, if the Grantor Trust is a WHFIT, information will be provided on Form 1099) or such other form as may be applicable with the Internal Revenue Service with copies of the statements in the following clause and (B) furnish, or cause to be furnished, to the Holders of the Class V Certificates their allocable share of income and expense with respect to the Excess Interest and Excess Interest Distribution Account, in the time or times and in the manner required by the Code.

 

(b)           If the Certificate Administrator receives notice that any Class V Certificate is held through a nominee, then the Grantor Trust will be treated as a WHFIT that is a WHMT. In such event, the Certificate Administrator will report as required under the WHFIT Regulations to the extent such information as is reasonably necessary to enable the Certificate Administrator to do so is provided to the Certificate Administrator on a timely basis. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to rely on its receipt of a notice as contemplated in the first sentence of this Section 4.06(b) and shall be entitled to indemnification in accordance with the terms of this Agreement in the event that the Internal Revenue Service makes a determination that such notice is incorrect. As of the Closing Date, the Class V Certificates will not be held through a nominee.

 

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

 

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

 

    -322-

     

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

 

Section 4.07          Investor Q&A Forum; Investor Registry; and Rating Agency Q&A Forum and Document Request Tool. (a) The Certificate Administrator shall make available, only to Privileged Persons, the Investor Q&A Forum. The “Investor Q&A Forum“ shall be a service available on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, where (i) Certificateholders and Certificate Owners that are Privileged Persons may submit questions to (A) the Certificate Administrator relating to the Distribution Date Statement, (B) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, relating to the reports prepared by that party being made available pursuant to Sections 3.13(b) and (d), the Serviced Mortgage Loans or the related Mortgaged Properties or (C) the Operating Advisor relating to the Operating Advisor Annual Report or other reports prepared by the Operating Advisor or actions by the Special Servicer referenced in any Operating Advisor Annual Report (each an “Inquiry” and collectively, “Inquiries”), and (ii) Privileged Persons may view Inquiries that have been previously submitted and answered, together with the answers thereto. Upon receipt of an Inquiry for the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, Certificate Administrator or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, and in the case of any Inquiry relating to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or related Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as applicable, the Certificate Administrator shall forward the Inquiry to the appropriate person (in the case of the Master Servicer to the following: AskMidland@midlandls.com), in each case within a commercially reasonable period of time following receipt thereof. Following receipt of an Inquiry, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, unless such party determines not to answer such Inquiry as provided below, shall reply to the Inquiry, which reply of the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, shall be delivered to the Certificate Administrator by electronic mail. In the case of an Inquiry relating to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Certificate Administrator shall make reasonable efforts to obtain an answer from the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as applicable; provided that the Certificate Administrator shall not be responsible for the content of such answer or any delay or failure to obtain such answer. The Certificate Administrator shall post (within a commercially reasonable period of time following preparation or receipt of such answer, as the case may be) such Inquiry and the related answer to the Certificate Administrator’s Website. If the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor determines, in its respective sole discretion, that (i) any Inquiry is beyond the scope of the topics described above, (ii) answering any Inquiry would not be in the best interests of the Trust and/or the Certificateholders, (iii) answering any Inquiry would be in violation of applicable law, the applicable Mortgage Loan documents or this Agreement, (iv) answering any Inquiry would materially increase the duties of, or result in significant additional cost or expense to, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, (v) answering any Inquiry would require the disclosure of Privileged Information (subject to the Privileged Information Exception, (vi) that

 

    -323-

     

    
answering the inquiry would or is reasonably expected to result in a waiver of an attorney-client privilege or the disclosure of attorney work product or (vii) answering any Inquiry is otherwise, for any reason, not advisable, it shall not be required to answer such Inquiry and, in the case of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, shall promptly notify the Certificate Administrator of such determination. In addition, no party shall post or otherwise disclose any direct communications with the Directing Certificateholder or the Risk Retention Consultation Party (in its capacity as Risk Retention Consultation Party) as part of its response to any Inquiries. The Certificate Administrator shall notify the Person who submitted such Inquiry in the event that the Inquiry will not be answered. Any notice by the Certificate Administrator to the Person who submitted an Inquiry that will not be answered shall include the following statement: “Because the Pooling and Servicing Agreement provides that the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Operating Advisor shall not answer an Inquiry if it determines, in its respective sole discretion, that (i) any Inquiry is beyond the scope of the topics described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (ii) answering any Inquiry would not be in the best interests of the Trust and/or the Certificateholders, (iii) answering any Inquiry would be in violation of applicable law or the applicable Mortgage Loan documents, (iv) answering any Inquiry would materially increase the duties of, or result in significant additional costs or expenses to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or Operating Advisor, as applicable, (v) answering any Inquiry would require the disclosure of Privileged Information, or (vi) answering any Inquiry is otherwise, for any reason, not advisable, no inference should or may be drawn from the fact that the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Operating Advisor has declined to answer the Inquiry.” Answers posted on the Investor Q&A Forum will be attributable only to the respondent, and shall not be deemed to be answers from any of the Depositor, the Underwriters or any of their respective Affiliates. None of the Underwriters, Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Operating Advisor or any of their respective Affiliates will certify to any of the information posted in the Investor Q&A Forum and no such party shall have any responsibility or liability for the content of any such information. The Certificate Administrator shall not be required to post to the Certificate Administrator’s Website any Inquiry or answer thereto that the Certificate Administrator determines, in its sole discretion, is administrative or ministerial in nature. The Investor Q&A Forum will not reflect questions, answers and other communications that are not submitted via the Certificate Administrator’s Website. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Operating Advisor shall not be required to respond to any Inquiries from Certificateholders for which its response would require the Operating Advisor to provide information to such inquiring Certificateholders that they are otherwise not entitled to receive under the terms of this Agreement.

 

(b)           The Certificate Administrator shall make available to any Certificateholder and any Certificate Owner that is a Privileged Person, the Investor Registry. The “Investor Registry” shall be a voluntary service available on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, where Certificateholders and Certificate Owners that are Privileged Persons can register and thereafter obtain information with respect to any other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner that has so registered. Any person registering to use the Investor Registry shall certify that (a) it is a Certificateholder or a Certificate Owner and a Privileged Person and (b) it grants authorization to the Certificate Administrator to make its name and contact information available on the Investor Registry for at least forty-five (45) days from the date of such certification to persons entitled to access to the Investor Registry. Such Person shall then be asked to enter certain mandatory fields

 

    -324-

     

    
such as the individual’s name, the company name and email address, as well as certain optional fields such as address, phone, and Class(es) of Certificates owned. If any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner notifies the Certificate Administrator that it wishes to be removed from the Investor Registry (which notice may not be within forty-five (45) days of its registration), the Certificate Administrator shall promptly remove it from the Investor Registry. The Certificate Administrator will not be responsible for verifying or validating any information submitted on the Investor Registry, or for monitoring or otherwise maintaining the accuracy of any information thereon. The Certificate Administrator may require acceptance of a waiver and disclaimer for access to the Investor Registry.

 

(c)           The 17g-5 Information Provider shall make available, only to NRSROs, the Rating Agency Q&A Forum and Document Request Tool. The “Rating Agency Q&A Forum and Document Request Tool” shall be a service available on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website, where NRSROs may (i) submit questions to the Certificate Administrator relating to any Distribution Date Statements, or submit questions to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, relating to the reports prepared by such parties (each such submission, a “Rating Agency Inquiry”), and (ii) view Rating Agency Inquiries that have been previously submitted and answered, together with the responses thereto. In addition, NRSROs may use the forum to submit requests (each such submission also, a “Rating Agency Inquiry”) to the Master Servicer for loan-level reports and other related information. Upon receipt of a Rating Agency Inquiry for the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, the 17g-5 Information Provider shall forward the Rating Agency Inquiry to the appropriate person (in the case of the Master Servicer to the following: AskMidland@midlandls.com), in each case within a commercially reasonable period of time following receipt thereof. Following receipt of a Rating Agency Inquiry from the 17g-5 Information Provider, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, unless it determines not to answer such Rating Agency Inquiry as provided below, shall reply by email to the Certificate Administrator.

Any reports posted by the 17g-5 Information Provider in response to an inquiry may be posted on a separate website or web page accessible by a link on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website. If the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer determines, in its respective sole discretion, that (i) answering any Rating Agency Inquiry would be in violation of applicable law, the Servicing Standard, this Agreement or any Mortgage Loan documents, (ii) answering any Rating Agency Inquiry would or is reasonably expected to result in a waiver of an attorney-client privilege with, or the disclosure of attorney work product, or (iii) (A) answering any Rating Agency Inquiry would materially increase the duties of, or result in significant additional cost or expense to, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and (B) the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard (or in good faith, in the case of the Certificate Administrator) that the performance of such duties or the payment of such costs and expenses is beyond the scope of its duties in its capacity as Certificate Administrator, Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, under this Agreement, it shall not be required to answer such Rating Agency Inquiry and shall promptly notify the 17g-5 Information Provider by email of such determination. The 17g-5 Information Provider shall promptly thereafter post the Rating Agency Inquiry with the reason it was not answered to the Rating Agency Q&A Forum and Document Request Tool.

Section 4.08          Secure Data Room. (a) The Certificate Administrator shall create a Secure Data Room on the Closing Date. Upon receipt of a Mortgage Loan Seller’s Diligence File Certification, the Depositor shall promptly deliver to the Certificate Administrator an electronic copy of the Diligence Files for the Mortgage Loans that have been uploaded by such Mortgage Loan Seller to the IntraLinks Site. On the 120th day after the Closing Date, to the extent not previously delivered to the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor shall deliver to the Certificate Administrator an electronic copy of the Diligence File for each Mortgage Loan that has been uploaded to the IntraLinks Site.

(b)         The Certificate Administrator shall not have any obligation or duty to verify, review, confirm or otherwise determine whether the type, number or contents of any Diligence File delivered to the Certificate Administrator is accurate, complete, or relates to the transaction or confirm that all documents constituting any Diligence File have actually been delivered to the Certificate Administrator. In no case shall the Certificate Administrator be deemed to have obtained actual or constructive knowledge of the contents of, or information contained in, any Diligence File by virtue of posting such Diligence File to the Secure Data Room. In the event that any document or information is posted in error, the Certificate Administrator may remove such document or information from the Secure Data Room. The Certificate Administrator shall not have any obligation to produce physical or electronic copies of any document or information provided to it for posting to the Secure Data Room. The Certificate Administrator shall not be responsible or held liable for any other Person’s use or dissemination of the documents or information contained on the Secure Data Room; provided that such event or occurrence is not also a result of its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. The Certificate Administrator shall not be required to restrict access to the Secure Data Room on a loan-by-loan basis and any 

 

    -326-

     

    
Person with access to the Secure Data Room shall covenant to access only the information necessary to perform its duties and responsibilities under this Agreement.

 

(c)           Upon the resignation or removal of the Certificate Administrator pursuant to Section 8.07, the Certificate Administrator shall transfer electronic copies of the Diligence Files to a successor certificate administrator designated in writing by the Depositor or the Master Servicer, and all costs and expenses associated with the transfer of the Diligence Files shall be payable as part of the costs and expenses associated with the transfer of its responsibilities upon the resignation or removal of the Certificate Administrator pursuant to Section 8.07. Following the date on which any Mortgage Loan is paid in full, liquidated, repurchased or otherwise removed from the Trust, the Special Servicer may direct the Certificate Administrator in writing to delete the Diligence File related to such Mortgage Loan from the Secure Data Room; provided that absent such direction, the Certificate Administrator shall not be obligated to delete any Diligence File from the Secure Data Room. Following the termination of the Trust pursuant to Section 9.01, the Certificate Administrator shall be permitted to delete all files from the Secure Data Room. Upon deletion, in no event shall the Certificate Administrator be obligated to reproduce or retrieve such deleted files.

(b)           One authorized signatory shall sign the Certificates for the Certificate Registrar by manual or facsimile signature. If an authorized signatory whose signature is on a Certificate no longer holds that office at the time the Certificate Registrar countersigns the Certificate, the Certificate shall be valid nevertheless. A Certificate shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Certificate Registrar (who may be the same officer who executed the Certificate) manually countersigns the Certificate. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Certificate has been executed and countersigned under this Agreement.

 

(c)            A Class of Regular Certificates will be considered outstanding until its Certificate Balance or Notional Amount, as applicable, is reduced to zero. However, notwithstanding a reduction of its Certificate Balance to zero, reimbursements of any previously allocated Realized Losses are required thereafter to be made to a Class of Principal Balance Certificates in accordance with the payment priorities set forth in Section 4.01.

 

Section 5.02          Form and Registration. No transfer of any Non-Registered Certificate shall be made unless that transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, and effective registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction which does not require such registration or qualification. If a transfer (other than one by the Depositor to an Affiliate thereof or to the Initial Purchasers or by the Initial Purchasers to an affiliate of Argentic Securities Income USA LLC) is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the Securities Act, and under the applicable state securities laws, then either:

 

(a)           Each Class of the Non-Registered Certificates sold to institutions that are non-United States Securities Persons in Offshore Transactions in reliance on Regulation S under the Act shall initially be represented by a temporary book-entry certificate in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons, substantially in the applicable form set forth as an exhibit hereto (each a “Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate”), which shall be deposited on the Closing Date on behalf of the purchasers of the Non-Registered Certificates represented thereby with the Certificate Registrar, at its principal trust office, as custodian, for the Depository, and registered in the name of the Depository or the nominee of the Depository for the account of designated agents holding on behalf of Euroclear and/or Clearstream. Prior to the expiration of the 40-day period commencing on the later of the commencement of the offering and the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), beneficial interests in each Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate may be held only through Euroclear or Clearstream. After the expiration of the Restricted Period, a beneficial interest in a Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate may be exchanged for an interest in the related Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate in the applicable form set forth as an exhibit hereto in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 5.03(f). During the Restricted Period, distributions due in respect of a beneficial interest in a Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate shall only be made upon delivery to the Certificate Registrar by Euroclear or Clearstream, as applicable, of a Non-U.S. Beneficial Ownership Certification. After the expiration of the Restricted Period, distributions due in respect of any beneficial interests in a Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate shall not be made to the holders of such beneficial interests unless exchange for a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate of the same Class is improperly withheld or refused. The aggregate Certificate Balance of a Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or a Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate

 

    -328-

     

    
may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the Depository, as hereinafter provided.

 

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

 

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

 

(c)           Certificates of each Class of Non-Registered Certificates that are initially offered and sold to investors that are Institutional Accredited Investors that are not Qualified Institutional Buyers (the “Non-Book Entry Certificates”) shall be in the form of Definitive Certificates, substantially in the applicable form set forth as an exhibit hereto, and shall be registered in the name of such investors or their nominees by the Certificate Registrar who shall deliver the certificates for such Non-Book Entry Certificates to the respective beneficial owners or owners. For the avoidance of doubt, the Class R Certificates shall only be in the form of Definitive Certificates.

 

(d)           Owners of beneficial interests in Book-Entry Certificates of any Class shall not be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificated Certificates unless: (i) the Depository advises the Certificate Registrar in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities as depository with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates of such Class or ceases to be a Clearing Agency, and the Certificate Registrar and the Depository are unable to locate a qualified successor within ninety (90) days of such notice or (ii) the Trustee has instituted or has been directed to institute any judicial proceeding to enforce the rights of the Holders of such Class and the Trustee has been advised by counsel that in connection with such proceeding it is necessary or appropriate for the Certificate Registrar to obtain possession of the Certificates of such Class; provided, that under no circumstances will certificated Non-Registered Certificates be issued to beneficial owners of a Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate. Upon notice of the occurrence of any of the events described in clause (i) or (ii) above with respect to any Certificates of a Class that are in the form of Book-Entry Certificates and upon surrender by the Depository of any Book-Entry Certificate of such Class and receipt from the Depository of instructions for re-registration, the Certificate Registrar shall issue Certificates of such Class in the

Unless and until Definitive Certificates are issued in respect of a Class of Book-Entry Certificates, beneficial ownership interests in such Class of Certificates will be maintained and transferred on the book entry records of the Depository and Depository Participants, and all references to actions by Holders of such Class of Certificates will refer to action taken by the Depository upon instructions received from the related registered Holders of Certificates through the Depository Participants in accordance with the Depository’s procedures and, except as otherwise set forth herein, all references herein to payments, notices, reports and statements to Holders of such Class of Certificates will refer to payments, notices, reports and statements to the Depository or its nominee as the registered Holder thereof, for distribution to the related registered Holders of Certificates through the Depository Participants in accordance with the Depository’s procedures.

Each Certificate Owner of an ERISA Restricted Certificate shall be deemed to represent that it is not a Person specified in clauses (i)(A) or (i)(B) above. Any transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any ERISA Restricted Certificates that would constitute or result in a prohibited transaction under ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or any Similar Law, or would otherwise violate the provisions of this Section 5.03(m) shall be deemed absolutely null and void ab initio, to the extent permitted under applicable law.

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

(p)           [Reserved]. 

 

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

    -337-

     

    
delivered to the Certificate Registrar such security or indemnity as may be required by it to save it harmless, then, in the absence of actual notice to the Certificate Registrar that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Certificate Registrar shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor and interest in the Trust. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 5.04, the Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Certificate Registrar) connected therewith.

Every Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Certificate, agrees that the Certificate Registrar shall not be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the list of the Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the source from which information was derived. The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and the Depositor shall be entitled to a list of the names and addresses of Certificateholders from time to time upon request therefor.

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

The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Operating Advisor, as the case may be, shall immediately notify the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans entitling the Trust to indemnification hereunder, whereupon the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall assume the defense of such claim (with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Depositor) and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or them in respect of such claim. Any failure to so notify the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall not affect any rights any of the foregoing Persons may have to indemnification under this Agreement or otherwise, unless the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as the case may be, defense of such claim is materially prejudiced thereby.

The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Operating Advisor, as the case may be, shall immediately notify the Depositor if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement, whereupon the Depositor shall assume the defense of such claim (with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Master Servicer (including in its capacity as Companion Paying Agent) or the Special Servicer) and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or them in respect of such claim. Any failure to so notify the Depositor shall not affect any rights any of the foregoing Persons may have to indemnification under this Agreement or otherwise, unless the Depositor’s defense of such claim is materially prejudiced thereby.

The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Depositor, as the case may be, shall immediately notify the Operating Advisor if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans entitling the Trust to indemnification hereunder, whereupon the Operating Advisor shall assume the defense of such claim (with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Master Servicer (including in its capacity as Companion Paying Agent), the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Depositor) and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or them in respect of such claim. Any failure to so notify the Operating Advisor shall not affect any rights any of the foregoing Persons may have to indemnification under this Agreement or otherwise, unless the Operating Advisor’s defense of such claim is materially prejudiced thereby.

 

(g)           Neither the Operating Advisor nor its Affiliates or any of the partners, directors, officers, shareholders, members, managers, employees or agents of the Operating Advisor shall be under any liability to any Certificateholder for any action taken or for refraining 

 

    -353-

     

    
from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, that this provision shall not protect the Operating Advisor against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of negligent disregard of obligations and duties hereunder.

 

(h)           The Asset Representations Reviewer agrees to indemnify the Master Servicer (including in its capacity as Companion Paying Agent), the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Operating Advisor and the Trust and any partner, director, officer, shareholder, member, manager, employee or agent thereof, and hold them harmless, from and against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs (including reasonable legal fees and expenses relating to the enforcement of such indemnity), judgments, and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses that any of them may sustain arising from or as a result of any willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence of the Asset Representations Reviewer, in the performance of its obligations and duties under this Agreement or by reason of negligent disregard by the Asset Representations Reviewer of its duties and obligations hereunder or by reason of breach of any representations or warranties made herein.

    -354-

     

    
Companion Paying Agent), the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor or the Asset Representations Reviewer.

 

(j)            For purposes of this Section 6.04 and Section 11.12, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, will be deemed not to have engaged in willful misconduct or committed bad faith or negligence in the performance of their respective obligations and duties hereunder or acted in negligent disregard of such obligations and duties if the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, fails to follow any terms of any Mortgage Loan documents because the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, determines that compliance with such terms would or potentially would cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause a tax to be imposed on the Trust or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code (for which determination the Master Servicer and Special Servicer will be entitled to rely on advice of counsel, the cost of which will be reimbursed as an additional expense of the Trust).

 

Section 6.05          Depositor, Master Servicer and Special Servicer Not to Resign. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.03, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall resign from their respective obligations and duties hereby imposed on each of them except upon (a) determination that fulfillment of such party’s duties hereunder is no longer permissible under applicable law or (b) in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, upon the appointment of, and the acceptance of such appointment by, a successor (which may be appointed by the resigning Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable), and receipt by the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and a confirmation of any applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities (if any) (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25). Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to clause (a) above shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the resigning party) to such effect delivered to the Trustee and (prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event) the Directing Certificateholder. 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 by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer under clause (a) above shall become effective until the Trustee or a successor master servicer or successor special servicer, as applicable, shall have assumed the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s, as applicable, responsibilities and obligations in accordance with Section 7.02 and no such resignation by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall become effective until the Certificate Administrator shall have filed any required Form 8-K pursuant to Section 11.07 hereof and any other Form 8-K filings have been completed with respect to any related Companion Loan. Upon any termination (as described in Section 7.01(c)) or resignation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, pursuant to this Section 6.05, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall have the right and opportunity to appoint any successor master servicer or special servicer with respect to this Section 6.05; provided that, such successor master servicer or special servicer shall not be the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Operating Advisor or one of their respective Affiliates and (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event) such successor special servicer is approved by the Directing Certificateholder, such approval not

 

    -355-

     

    
to be unreasonably withheld. The resigning party shall pay all costs and expenses (including out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator) associated with a transfer of its duties pursuant to this Section 6.05. Except as provided in Section 7.01(c), in no event shall the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer have the right to appoint any successor master servicer or special servicer if such Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, is terminated or removed pursuant to Section 7.01.

 

Section 6.06          Rights of the Depositor in Respect of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer. The Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations of the Master Servicer and 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 and the Special Servicer hereunder or exercise the rights of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder; provided, that the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not be relieved of any of their respective 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 Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Special Servicer under this Agreement or otherwise.

 

Section 6.07          The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer as Certificate Owner. The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or any Affiliate thereof 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.

 

Section 6.08          The Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party. (a) Other than with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan for which the related holder of a Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan is not subject to a Serviced AB Control Appraisal Period, (i) for so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and subject to the DCH Limitations, the Directing Certificateholder shall be entitled to advise the Special Servicer with respect to matters relating to a Major Decision, and the Special Servicer shall not be permitted to take or consent to the Master Servicer’s taking any action that constitutes a Major Decision as to which the Directing Certificateholder has objected in writing within ten (10) Business Days (or thirty (30) days with respect to an action that constitutes a Major Decision under clause (xi) of the definition of “Major Decision”) after the receipt of a written report by the Special Servicer describing in reasonable detail (x) the background and circumstances requiring action of the Special Servicer (y) the proposed course of action recommended and (z) all information reasonably requested by the Directing Certificateholder and in the Special Servicer’s possession in order to grant or withhold such consent, which report may (in the sole discretion of the Special Servicer) take the form of an Asset Status Report (the “Major Decision Reporting Package”) (provided that if such written objection has not been received by the Special Servicer within such ten (10) Business Day (or thirty (30) day) period, then the Directing Certificateholder shall be deemed to have approved such action) and (ii) to the extent the Master Servicer is responsible for processing the subject action pursuant to Section 3.34, the Master Servicer shall not be permitted to take any action constituting a Major Decision unless it has obtained the consent or deemed consent of the Special Servicer pursuant to the consent process set forth in Section 3.34(b).

 

    -356-

     

    

In addition, with respect to any Mortgage Loan (for so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and subject to the DCH Limitations), the Directing Certificateholder (subject to any rights, if any, of the related Companion Holder to advise the Special Servicer with respect to the related Serviced Whole Loan, pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement), may direct the Special Servicer to take, or to refrain from taking, such other actions with respect to a Mortgage Loan as the Directing Certificateholder may deem advisable or as to which provision is otherwise made herein; provided that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no such direction or objection contemplated by the preceding paragraph or this paragraph, may require or cause the Master Servicer or Special Servicer to violate any provision of any Mortgage Loan or related Intercreditor Agreement or mezzanine intercreditor agreement, applicable law, this Agreement, or the REMIC Provisions, including without limitation the obligation of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard, or expose the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trust or the Trustee to liability, or materially expand the scope of the responsibilities of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder or cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to act, or fail to act, in a manner which in the reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, is not in the best interests of the Certificateholders.

 

In the event the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, determines that a refusal to consent by the Directing Certificateholder or a Companion Holder or any advice from the Directing Certificateholder, the Risk Retention Consultation Party or a Companion Holder would cause the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, to violate the terms of any Mortgage Loan, any Intercreditor Agreement, applicable law, this Agreement, including without limitation, the Servicing Standard, or the REMIC Provisions, expose the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trust or the Trustee to liability, materially expand the scope of responsibilities of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, under this Agreement or cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to act, or fail to act, in a manner which in the reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, is not in the best interests of the Certificateholders, then the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, shall disregard such refusal to consent or advise and notify the Directing Certificateholder, the Risk Retention Consultation Party or Companion Holder, as applicable, the Trustee and the Rating Agencies of its determination, including a reasonably detailed explanation of the basis therefor.  The taking of, or refraining from taking, any action by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer in accordance with the direction of or approval of the Directing Certificateholder or Companion Holder that does not violate the terms of any Mortgage Loan, applicable law or the Servicing Standard or any other provisions of this Agreement, will not result in any liability on the part of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer.

 

With respect to any Major Decision related to any Serviced Mortgage Loan that is not an Excluded RRCP Loan, upon request of the Risk Retention Consultation Party, the party processing the Major Decision as specified under Section 3.34 shall consult on a non-binding basis with the Risk Retention Consultation Party, in each case within the same time period as such party would be required to consult with the Directing Certificateholder with respect to such Major Decision (assuming the Directing Certificateholder had such right with respect to such Mortgage Loan); provided, that prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event,

    -357-

     

    
 

such Mortgage Loan must also be a Specially Serviced Loan.  In the event the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, receives no response from the Risk Retention Consultation Party within ten (10) days following the later of (i) the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as applicable, written request for input on any requested consultation and (ii) delivery of all such additional information reasonably requested by such Risk Retention Consultation Party related to the subject matter of such consultation (and in the possession of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, will not be obligated to consult with such Risk Retention Consultation Party on the specific matter; provided, that the failure of such Risk Retention Consultation Party to respond will not relieve the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, from using reasonable efforts to consult with such Risk Retention Consultation Party on any future matters with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan.

 

The Special Servicer is not required to obtain the consent of the Directing Certificateholder for any Major Decision after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event; provided, that, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event but prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event (and subject to the DCH Limitations), the Special Servicer shall consult on a non-binding basis with the Directing Certificateholder in connection with any Major Decision and consider alternative actions recommended by the Directing Certificateholder in respect thereof.  In the event the Special Servicer receives no response from the Directing Certificateholder within ten (10) Business Days following its written request for input on any required consultation, the Special Servicer shall not be obligated to consult with the Directing Certificateholder on the specific matter; provided, that the failure of the Directing Certificateholder to respond shall not relieve the Special Servicer from consulting with the Directing Certificateholder on any future matters with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan. 

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Special Servicer or Master Servicer (in the event the Master Servicer is otherwise authorized by this Agreement to take such action), as applicable, determines that immediate action, with respect to a Major Decision, or any other matter requiring consent of or consultation with the Directing Certificateholder, the Risk Retention Consultation Party, the Operating Advisor or a Companion Holder, is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders (or, with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the interest of the Certificateholders and the holder(s) of the related Serviced Companion Loan(s)) (as a collective whole (taking into account the subordinate or pari passu nature of any related Serviced Companion Loan, as the case may be)), the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, may take any such action without waiting for the Special Servicer’s (in the case of the Master Servicer), the Directing Certificateholder’s or the Companion Holder’s response (or without waiting to consult with the Directing Certificateholder, the Risk Retention Consultation Party, the Operating Advisor or the Companion Holder, as the case may be), provided that the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, provides the Special Servicer (in the case of the Master Servicer) or the Directing Certificateholder (or the Risk Retention Consultation Party, the Operating Advisor or the Companion Holder, if applicable) with prompt written notice following such action including a reasonably detailed explanation of the basis therefor. 

 

The Directing Certificateholder shall have no liability to the Trust or the Certificateholders for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, or for errors

in judgment; provided, that the Directing Certificateholder shall not be protected against any liability to a Controlling Class Certificateholder that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties owed to the Controlling Class Certificateholders or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations or duties owed to the Controlling Class Certificateholders. 

 

The Special Servicer shall provide each Major Decision Reporting Package to the Operating Advisor (a) prior to the occurrence of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event and only with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan, promptly after the Special Servicer receives the Directing Certificateholder’s approval or deemed approval with respect to the related Major Decision, and (b) following the occurrence of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, simultaneously upon providing such Major Decision Reporting Package to the Directing Certificateholder (or at the time such Major Decision Reporting Package would otherwise be required to be so provided without regard to the occurrence of a Control Termination Event or a Consultation Termination Event and otherwise assuming that the Directing Certificateholder is entitled to receive such documentation).  With respect to any Non-Specially Serviced Loan no Major Decision Reporting Package shall be required to be delivered prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event.  With respect to any particular Major Decision and/or related Major Decision Reporting Package or any Asset Status Report required to be delivered by the Special Servicer to the Operating Advisor, the Special Servicer shall make available to the Operating Advisor a Servicing Officer with relevant knowledge regarding any Mortgage Loan and such Major Decision and/or Asset Status Report in order to address reasonable questions that the Operating Advisor may have relating to, among other things, such Major Decision and/or Asset Status Report.  In addition, if an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing, the Special Servicer shall consult with the Operating Advisor (telephonically or electronically) in connection with any proposed Major Decision (and such other matters that are subject to consultation rights of the Operating Advisor pursuant to this Agreement) and to consider alternative actions recommended by the Operating Advisor in respect of such Major Decision (or such other matters), provided that such consultation is on a non-binding basis.  In the event that the Special Servicer receives no response from the Operating Advisor within ten (10) Business Days following the later of (i) its written request for input on any required consultation and (ii) delivery of all such additional information reasonably requested by the Operating Advisor related to the subject matter of such consultation, the Special Servicer shall not be obligated to consult with the Operating Advisor on the specific matter; provided, that (x) a Major Decision Reporting Package shall be included in the Special Servicer’s initial request and (y) the failure of the Operating Advisor to respond on any specific matters shall not relieve the Special Servicer from its obligation to consult with the Operating Advisor on any future matter with respect to the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan or any other Mortgage Loan.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any Excluded Loan (regardless of whether an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has otherwise occurred and is continuing), the Special Servicer shall consult with the Operating Advisor, on a non-binding basis, in connection with the related transactions involving proposed Major Decisions and consider alternative actions recommended by the Operating Advisor, in respect thereof, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 6.08 for consulting with the Operating Advisor.

 

The Risk Retention Consultation Party shall have no liability to the Trust or the Certificateholders for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, or for errors

in judgment; provided, however, that the Risk Retention Consultation Party shall not be protected against any liability to the Retaining Sponsor or a Holder of the VRR Interest that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties owed to the Holders of the VRR Interest or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations or duties owed to the Holders of the VRR Interest. 

 

Any Non-Serviced Controlling Holder with respect to a Non-Serviced Whole Loan shall have no liability to the Trust or the Certificateholders for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, or for errors in judgment.  By its acceptance of a Certificate, each Certificateholder acknowledges and agrees that any such Non-Serviced Controlling Holder, with respect to the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan, may take actions that favor the interests of other parties over the Certificates, and that such Non-Serviced Controlling Holder, with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan, may have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of Holders of some Classes of the Certificates, that such Non-Serviced Controlling Holder, with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan, may act solely in its own interests, that such Non-Serviced Controlling Holder shall not be liable to any Certificateholder by reason of its having acted solely in its own interests, and that such Non-Serviced Controlling Holder shall have no liability whatsoever for having so acted, and no Certificateholder may take any action whatsoever against such Non-Serviced Controlling Holder, with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan, or any director, officer, employee, agent or principal thereof for having so acted.

 

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

 

(c)        Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Directing Certificateholder shall not have the appointment, termination, consent, consultation or notice rights described in this Agreement with respect to (i) a Serviced Mortgage Loan that is an Excluded Loan, (ii) a Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan (provided, that prior to a Control Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder will be entitled to exercise all rights of, and receive all notices to be provided to, the “Non-Controlling Note Holder” under the related Intercreditor Agreement)  or (iii) a Serviced AB Whole Loan (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a “control appraisal event” (or similar term) under the related Intercreditor Agreement with respect thereto (unless otherwise provided in the related Intercreditor Agreement)) (collectively, the “DCH Limitations”).

(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 such Servicer Termination Event shall not have been remedied, the Trustee or the Depositor may, and at the written direction of (A) the Directing Certificateholder (solely with respect to the Special Servicer and, in any event, (i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, (ii) subject to the DCH Limitations and (iii) other than with respect to a Servicing Shift Whole Loan (unless the Directing Certificateholder is entitled to exercise the termination rights of the “Non-Controlling Note Holder” under the related Intercreditor Agreement)), (B) the holder of the related Servicing Shift Control Note (solely with respect to a Servicing Shift Whole Loan, and the Special Servicer with respect thereto) and (C) the holder of the related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan (prior to the occurrence of a Serviced AB Control Appraisal Period with respect to the related Whole Loan) or the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights, the Trustee shall, terminate (and the Depositor may direct the Trustee to terminate each of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, upon five Business Days’ written notice if there is a Servicer Termination Event under clause (iii)(A) above), by notice in writing to the Affected Party, with a copy of such notice to the Depositor and the Operating Advisor, all of the rights (subject to Section 3.11 and Section 6.04) and obligations of the Affected Party under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof (other than as a Certificateholder or Companion Holder, if applicable); provided, that the Affected Party shall be entitled to the payment of accrued and unpaid compensation and reimbursement through the date of such termination as provided for under this Agreement for services rendered and expenses incurred.  From and after the receipt by the Affected Party of such written notice except as otherwise provided in this ARTICLE VII, all authority and power of the Affected Party under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates (other than as a Holder of any Certificate) or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee with respect to a termination of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to and under this Section 7.01, 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.  The Master Servicer and Special Servicer each agree that if it is terminated pursuant to this Section 7.01(b), it shall promptly (and in any event no later than twenty (20) Business Days subsequent to its receipt of the notice of termination) provide the Trustee with all documents and records requested by it to enable it to assume the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as the case may be, functions hereunder, and shall cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as the case may be, responsibilities and rights (subject to Section 3.11 and Section 6.04) hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer within five (5) Business Days to the Trustee for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be or should have been credited by the Master Servicer to the Collection Account or any Servicing Account (if it is the Affected Party), by the Special Servicer to the REO Account (if it is the Affected Party) or thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property (provided, that the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each shall, if terminated

    -363-

     

    
 

pursuant to this Section 7.01(b) or pursuant to Section 7.01(d) (with respect to the Special Servicer), continue to be entitled to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement on or prior to the date of such termination, whether in respect of Advances (in the case of the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer) or otherwise, and it and its Affiliates and the directors, managers, officers, members, employees and agents of it and its Affiliates shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.11 and Section 6.04 notwithstanding any such termination).  If replaced as a result of a Servicer Termination Event, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall be responsible for the costs and expenses associated with the transfer of its duties.

 

(c)        If the Master Servicer receives notice of termination under Section 7.01(b) solely due to a Servicer Termination Event under Section 7.01(a)(viii), (ix) or (x), the Master Servicer shall have a forty-five (45) day period after such notice in which to find a successor master servicer qualified to act as Master Servicer hereunder in accordance with Section 6.03 and Section 7.02 and to which the Master Servicer can sell its rights to service the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement.  During such forty-five (45) day period the Master Servicer may continue to serve as Master Servicer hereunder.  In the event that the Master Servicer is unable, within such forty-five (45) day period, to cause a qualified successor master servicer to assume the duties of the Master Servicer hereunder, then and in such event, the Trustee shall assume the obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder.

 

Notwithstanding Section 7.01(b), if any Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Special Servicer shall occur and be continuing that affects the Holder of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, then, so long as the Special Servicer is not otherwise terminated, the Holder of such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan or the Other Trustee appointed under the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as applicable, shall be entitled to direct the Trustee to terminate the Special Servicer with respect to the related Serviced Whole Loan.  A replacement Special Servicer shall be selected by the Trustee or, prior to a Control Termination Event, by the Directing Certificateholder (subject to the DCH Limitations).  Any Special Servicer appointed to replace the Special Servicer with respect to a Serviced Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Whole Loan cannot at any time be (without the prior written consent of the holder of such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) the person (or Affiliate thereof) that was terminated at the direction of the holder of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan.  Any such Special Servicer under this paragraph shall meet the eligibility requirements of Section 7.02 and the eligibility requirements of the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and the appointment thereof shall comply with the provisions of Section 7.02.  Any appointment of a replacement Special Servicer in accordance with this paragraph shall be subject to the receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation and confirmation from the applicable rating agencies that such appointment or replacement will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the then-current ratings of any class of any related Serviced Companion Loan Securities (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25).

 

(d)          At any time prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, subject to the rights of the holder of a related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement and subject to the DCH Limitations, the Directing Certificateholder shall be entitled to terminate, with or without cause, the rights (subject

    -364-

     

    
 

to Section 3.11 and Section 6.04) and obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement, upon ten (10) Business Days’ notice to the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Operating Advisor; such termination to be effective upon the appointment of a successor special servicer (which must be a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer) meeting the requirements of this Section 7.01(d). Upon a termination of such Special Servicer, the Directing Certificateholder (subject to the DCH Limitations) shall appoint a successor special servicer; provided, that (i) such successor will meet the requirements set forth in Section 7.02, (ii) the Trustee has provided each Rating Agency with a Rating Agency Communication and (iii) no replacement of the Special Servicer shall be effective until the Certificate Administrator shall have filed any required Form 8-K pursuant to Section 11.07 hereof and any other Form 8-K filings have been completed with respect to any related Companion Loan.  The recommendation of replacement of the Special Servicer by the Operating Advisor and the approval of the Certificateholders of such Qualified Replacement Special Servicer shall not preclude the Directing Certificateholder from appointing a replacement special servicer, provided that such replacement may not be the removed Special Servicer or its Affiliate.

 

After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event and upon (a) the written direction of Holders of Principal Balance Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights allocable to all the Principal Balance Certificates (taking into account the application of any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances of the respective Classes thereof pursuant to Section 4.05 hereof) requesting a vote to replace the Special Servicer with a new special servicer designated in such written direction to assume the duties of the Special Servicer hereunder, (b) payment by such Holders to the Certificate Administrator of the reasonable fees and expenses (including any legal fees and any Rating Agency fees and expenses) to be incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with administering such vote and which will not be additional expenses of the Trust and (c) delivery by such Holders to each Rating Agency (with a copy to the Certificate Administrator and Trustee) of a Rating Agency Communication (which Rating Agency Communication shall be provided at the expense of such Holders), the Certificate Administrator shall promptly post notice to all Certificateholders of such request on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(b) and concurrently by mail, and conduct the solicitation of votes of all Certificates in such regard, which vote shall occur within one hundred-eighty (180) days of the posting of such notice.  Upon the written direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing at least 75% of the Voting Rights that constitute a minimum Certificateholder Quorum, the Trustee shall terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement and appoint the successor special servicer to assume the duties of such Special Servicer (which must be a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer) designated by such Certificateholders. The Certificate Administrator shall include on each Distribution Date Statement a statement that each Certificateholder may (i) access such notices via the Certificate Administrator’s Website and (ii) register to receive electronic mail notifications when such notices are posted thereon.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Certificateholder’s direction to remove the Special Servicer shall not apply to (i) any Serviced AB Whole Loan for which the holder of the related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan is not subject to a Serviced AB Control Appraisal Period or (ii) any Servicing Shift Whole Loan.

    -365-

     

    
 

With respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, notwithstanding any contrary provision in the related Intercreditor Agreement, the Directing Certificateholder shall only be permitted to terminate the Special Servicer under the circumstances set forth above.

 

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

 

The parties hereto acknowledge that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this section, in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement, if a servicer termination event on the part of a Non-Serviced Special Servicer under a Non-Serviced PSA remains unremedied and affects the holder of the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, and the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer has not otherwise been terminated, the holder of the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan (or the Trustee, acting at the direction of the Directing Certificateholder (or, if a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, acting at the direction of the Special Servicer)) will be entitled to direct the related Non-Serviced Trustee to terminate the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer solely with respect to the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan.  The appointment (or replacement) of a special servicer with respect to a Non-Serviced Whole Loan will in any event be subject to Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency.  A replacement special servicer will be selected by the related Non-Serviced Trustee or, prior to a consultation termination event under the related Non-Serviced PSA, by the related Non-Serviced Controlling Holder; provided, that any successor special servicer appointed to replace the special servicer with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan  cannot at any time be the Person (or an Affiliate thereof) that was terminated at the direction of the holder of such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, without the prior written consent of the Directing Certificateholder.

 

Each Servicing Shift Control Note holder shall have the right, to the extent provided under the related Intercreditor Agreement, to replace the Special Servicer solely with respect to the related Servicing Shift Whole Loan, as applicable, so long as: (A) each Rating Agency delivers a Rating Agency Confirmation; (B) the successor special servicer has assumed in writing (from and after the date such successor special servicer becomes the Special Servicer) all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Special Servicer under this Agreement from and after the date it becomes the Special Servicer as they relate to the related Servicing Shift Whole Loan, pursuant to an assumption agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Certificate Administrator; and (C) the Certificate Administrator shall have received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory

    -366-

     

    
 

to the Certificate Administrator to the effect that (x) the designation of such replacement to serve as Special Servicer is in compliance with this Agreement, (y) such replacement will be bound by the terms of this Agreement with respect to related Servicing Shift Whole Loan, and (z) subject to customary qualifications and exceptions, this Agreement will be enforceable against such replacement in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

If at any time the Operating Advisor, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith determines that (i) the Special Servicer is not performing its duties as required hereunder or is otherwise not acting in accordance with the Servicing Standard, and (ii) the replacement of the Special Servicer would be in the best interest of the Certificateholders as a collective whole, the Operating Advisor shall deliver to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, with a copy to the Special Servicer, a written report, substantially in the form of Exhibit W attached hereto, setting forth the reasons supporting its recommendation (along with any information the Operating Advisor considered relevant to its recommendation) and recommending a replacement Special Servicer (which form may be modified or supplemented from time to time to cure any ambiguity or error or to incorporate any additional information, subject to compliance of such form with the terms and provisions of this Agreement; provided, further, that in no event shall the information or any other content included in such written recommendation contravene any provision of this Agreement) detailing the reasons supporting its recommendation (along with relevant information justifying its recommendation) and recommending a suggested replacement special servicer to assume the duties of such Special Servicer, which shall be a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer.  In such event, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly post notice to all Certificateholders of such recommendation and the related report on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(b), and by mail conduct the solicitation of votes of all Certificates in such regard.  Upon (i) the receipt of an affirmative vote of Holders of Certificates representing a majority of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all Certificates whose Holders voted on the matter (provided that the Certificateholders and/or Certificate Owners that so voted on the matter (A) hold Certificates representing at least 20% of the outstanding principal balance of all Certificates on an aggregate basis and (B) include at least three Certificateholders and/or Certificate Owners that are not affiliated or Risk Retention Affiliated with each other) within 180 days of posting of the Operating Advisor’s recommendation to the Certificate Administrator’s Website and (ii) the delivery of a Rating Agency Communication to each Rating Agency by the Certificate Administrator following satisfaction of the foregoing clause (i), the Trustee shall (i) terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement and appoint the successor special servicer recommended by the Operating Advisor and (ii) promptly notify such outgoing Special Servicer of the effective date of such termination.  The reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses of outside counsel) associated with providing such Rating Agency Communications and administering such vote and the Operating Advisor’s identification of a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer shall be an additional expense of the Trust.  In the event that the Trustee does not receive at least a majority of the requested votes, then the Trustee shall have no obligation to remove the Special Servicer.  Prior to the appointment of any replacement special servicer, such replacement special servicer shall have agreed to succeed to the obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement and to act as the Special Servicer’s successor hereunder.  If the Special Servicer is terminated pursuant to this Section 7.01(d), the Directing Certificateholder may not subsequently reappoint such terminated Special Servicer or any Risk Retention Affiliate thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Operating Advisor’s recommendation to remove the Special

    -367-

     

    
 

Servicer as described above shall not apply to (i) any Serviced AB Whole Loan for which the holder of the related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan is not subject to a Serviced AB Control Appraisal Period or (ii) any Servicing Shift Whole Loan.

 

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

 

For the avoidance of doubt, the indemnification of the Operating Advisor in Section 6.04 shall include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6.04, any action or claim arising from, or relating to, the Operating Advisor’s determination under this Section 7.01(d) (regarding removal of the Special Servicer), or the result of the vote of the Certificateholders (regarding removal of the Special Servicer).

 

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

 

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

 

(g)       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 7.01, with respect to any Excluded Special Servicer Loan, if any, the Special Servicer shall resign as Special Servicer of that Excluded Special Servicer Loan.  Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, if the applicable Excluded Special Servicer Loan is not also an Excluded Loan, the Directing Certificateholder shall be entitled to select (and may remove and replace with or without cause) an Excluded Special Servicer, as successor to the resigning Special Servicer, for the related Excluded Special Servicer Loan in accordance with this Agreement.  After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, if the applicable Excluded Special Servicer Loan is also an Excluded Loan or if the Directing Certificateholder is entitled to appoint the Excluded Special Servicer but does not so appoint within thirty (30) days of notice of such resignation, the resigning Special Servicer shall select the related Excluded Special Servicer.  The resigning Special Servicer shall not have any liability with respect to the actions or inactions of the applicable Excluded Special Servicer or with respect to the identity of the applicable Excluded Special Servicer and shall, absent negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith, be indemnified by the Trust pursuant to Section 6.04(a) for any loss, liability or expense

    -368-

     

    
incurred in connection with any legal action relating to this transaction resulting solely from the identity or actions of such Excluded Special Servicer.  It shall be a condition to any such appointment that (i) the Rating Agencies confirm that the appointment would not result in a qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of any of their then current ratings of the Certificates and the equivalent from each NRSRO hired to provide ratings with respect to any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities (provided, that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25 hereof), (ii) the applicable Excluded Special Servicer is a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer and (iii) the applicable Excluded Special Servicer delivers to the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator and any applicable Other Depositor and Other Certificate Administrator the information, if any, required pursuant to Item 6.02 of the Form 8-K regarding itself in its role as Excluded Special Servicer.

 

If at any time the Special Servicer is no longer a Borrower Party with respect to an Excluded Special Servicer Loan (including, without limitation, as a result of the related Mortgaged Property becoming REO Property), (1) the related Excluded Special Servicer shall resign, (2) the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan shall no longer be an Excluded Special Servicer Loan, (3) the Special Servicer shall become the Special Servicer again for such related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan and (4) the Special Servicer shall be entitled to all special servicing compensation with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan earned during such time on and after such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan is no longer an Excluded Special Servicer Loan (provided that the Special Servicer will remain entitled to all other special servicing compensation with respect to all Mortgage Loans and Serviced Whole Loans that are not Excluded Special Servicer Loans during such time).

 

The applicable Excluded Special Servicer shall perform all of the obligations of the Special Servicer for the related Excluded Special Servicer Loan and shall be entitled to all special servicing compensation with respect to such Excluded Special Servicer Loan earned during such time as the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan is an Excluded Special Servicer Loan.

 

If a Servicing Officer of the Master Servicer, a related Excluded Special Servicer, or the Special Servicer, as applicable, has actual knowledge that a Mortgage Loan is no longer an Excluded Loan, an Excluded Controlling Class Loan or an Excluded Special Servicer Loan, as applicable, the Master Servicer, the related Excluded Special Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide prompt written notice thereof to each of the other parties to this Agreement.

 

Section 7.02  Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. On and after the time the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, either resigns pursuant to subsection (a) of the first sentence of Section 6.05 or receives a notice of termination for cause pursuant to Section 7.01(b), and provided that no acceptable successor has been appointed within the time period specified in Section 7.01(c), the Trustee shall be the successor to such party, until such successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, is appointed as provided in this Section 7.02 or by the Directing Certificateholder as provided in Section 7.01(d), as applicable, in all respects in its capacity as Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to, and have the benefit of, all of the rights, (subject to Section 3.11 and Section 6.04) benefits,

    -369-

     

    
 

responsibilities, duties, liabilities and limitations on liability relating thereto and that arise thereafter placed on or for the benefit of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, by the terms and provisions hereof; provided, that any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by the terminated party’s failure under Section 7.01 to provide information or moneys required hereunder shall not be considered a default by such successor hereunder.  The appointment of a successor master servicer shall not affect any liability of the predecessor Master Servicer which may have arisen prior to its termination as Master Servicer, and the appointment of a successor special servicer shall not affect any liability of the predecessor Special Servicer which may have arisen prior to its termination as Special Servicer.  The Trustee in its capacity as successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall not be liable for any of the representations and warranties of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, respectively, herein or in any related document or agreement, for any acts or omissions of the predecessor Master Servicer or Special Servicer or for any losses incurred by the predecessor Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.06 hereunder, nor shall the Trustee be required to purchase any Mortgage Loan hereunder solely as a result of its obligations as successor master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be.  Subject to Section 3.11, as compensation therefor, the Trustee as successor master servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Fees and all fees relating to the Mortgage Loans or the Companion Loans which the Master Servicer would have been entitled to if the Master Servicer had continued to act hereunder, including but not limited to any income or other benefit from any Permitted Investment pursuant to Section 3.06, and subject to Section 3.11, and the Trustee as successor to the Special Servicer shall be entitled to the Special Servicing Fees to which the Special Servicer would have been entitled if the Special Servicer had continued to act hereunder.  Should the Trustee succeed to the capacity of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, the Trustee shall be afforded the same standard of care and liability as the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder notwithstanding anything in Section 8.01 to the contrary, but only with respect to actions taken by it in its role as successor master servicer or successor special servicer, as the case may be, and not with respect to its role as Trustee hereunder.  Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to act as successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, or shall, if it is unable to so act, or if the Trustee is not approved as a servicer by each Rating Agency, or if the Directing Certificateholder (solely with respect to the Special Servicer) ((i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and (ii) subject to the DCH Limitations) or the Holders of Certificates entitled to more than 50% of the Voting Rights (or the related Controlling Holder (to the extent set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement, solely with respect to the related Serviced Whole Loan and the special servicer in respect thereof)) so request in writing to the Trustee, promptly appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established mortgage loan servicing institution which meets the criteria set forth in Section 6.05 and otherwise herein, as the successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer hereunder.  No appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder shall be effective until (i) the assumption in writing by the successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer of all its responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder that arise thereafter, (ii) receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and confirmation of the applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any securities related to a Companion Loan, if any (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered

 

    -370-

     

    
satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25), (iii) such appointment (solely with respect to the Special Servicer) has been approved (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event) by the Directing Certificateholder, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld and (iv) the Certificate Administrator shall have filed any required Form 8-K pursuant to Section 11.07 hereof and any other Form 8-K filings have been completed with respect to any related Companion Loan.  Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder, unless the Trustee shall be prohibited by law from so acting, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as herein above provided.  In connection with such appointment and assumption of a successor to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer as described herein, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on the Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, that no such compensation with respect to a successor master servicer or successor special servicer, as the case may be, shall be in excess of that permitted the terminated Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder.  The Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (whichever is not the terminated party) and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.  Any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses associated with the transfer of the servicing function (other than with respect to a termination without cause) under this Agreement shall be borne by the predecessor Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable.  If such predecessor Master Servicer or Special Servicer (as the case may be) has not reimbursed the party requesting such termination or the successor master servicer or special servicer for such expenses within 90 days after the presentation of reasonable documentation, such expense shall be reimbursed by the Trust; provided that the terminated Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of its liability for such expenses.  If and to the extent that the terminated Master Servicer or Special Servicer has not reimbursed such costs and expenses, the party requesting such termination shall have an affirmative obligation to take all reasonable actions to collect such expenses on behalf of the Trust.  In the event of a termination without cause, such costs and expenses shall be borne by the party requesting such termination, or as otherwise set forth herein; provided that the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall not bear any such costs and expenses.  For the avoidance of doubt, if the Trustee is terminating the Master Servicer or Special Servicer in accordance with this Agreement at the direction of any party or parties permitted to direct the Trustee to so terminate the Master Servicer or Special Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, the Trustee shall not have any liability for such expenses pursuant to this paragraph.

 

If the Trustee or an Affiliate acts pursuant to this Section 7.02 as successor to the resigning or terminated Master Servicer, it may reduce the Excess Servicing Fee Rate to the extent that its or such Affiliate’s compensation as successor Master Servicer would otherwise be below the market rate servicing compensation.  If the Trustee elects to appoint a successor to the resigning or terminated Master Servicer other than itself or an Affiliate pursuant to this Section 7.02, it may reduce the 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 6.05, any termination of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 7.01 or any appointment of a successor to the

    -371-

     

    
 

Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02, the Certificate Administrator shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register.

 

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

 

Section 7.04    Waiver of Servicer Termination Events. The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66-2/3% of the Voting Rights allocated to each Class of Certificates affected by any Servicer Termination Event hereunder may waive such Servicer Termination Event; provided, that a Servicer Termination Event under clause (i), (ii), (viii), (ix) or (x) of Section 7.01(a) may be waived only with the consent of all of the Certificateholders of the affected Classes, and a Servicer Termination Event under clause (iii) of Section 7.01(a) (with respect to obligations under ARTICLE XI) may be waived only with the consent of the Depositor.  Upon any such waiver of a Servicer Termination Event, such Servicer Termination Event shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose hereunder.  Upon any such waiver of a Servicer Termination Event by Certificateholders, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to recover from the Trust all costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with enforcement action taken with respect to such Servicer Termination Event prior to such waiver.  No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Servicer Termination Event or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, for purposes of waiving any Servicer Termination Event pursuant to this Section 7.04, Certificates registered in the name of the Depositor or any Affiliate of the Depositor shall be entitled to the same Voting Rights with respect to the matters described above as they would if any other Person held such Certificates.

 

Section 7.05  Trustee as Maker of Advances.  In the event that the Master Servicer fails to fulfill its obligations hereunder to make any Advances and such failure remains uncured, the Trustee shall perform such obligations (x) within five (5) Business Days following such failure by the Master Servicer with respect to Servicing Advances resulting in a Servicer Termination Event under Section 7.01(a)(iii) hereof to the extent a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge of such failure with respect to such Servicing Advances and (y) by noon, New York City time, on the related Distribution Date with respect to P&I Advances pursuant to the Certificate Administrator’s notice of failure pursuant to Section 4.03(a) unless such failure has been cured.  With respect to any such Advance made by the Trustee, the Trustee shall succeed to all of the Master Servicer’s rights with respect to Advances hereunder, including, without limitation, the Master Servicer’s rights of reimbursement and interest on each Advance at the Reimbursement Rate, and rights to determine that a proposed Advance is a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or Servicing Advance, as the case may be, (without regard to any impairment of any such rights of reimbursement caused by such Master Servicer’s default in its obligations hereunder); provided, that if Advances made by the Trustee and the Master Servicer shall at any time be outstanding, or any interest on any Advance shall be accrued and unpaid, all amounts available to repay such

    -372-

     

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

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

and the Certificate Administrator may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement;

 

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

 

(iii)      Neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, shall be liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of Holders of Certificates entitled to not less than 25% (i) of the Percentage Interests of each affected Class, or (ii) if each Class is an affected Class of the aggregate Voting Rights of the Certificates, relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, under this Agreement (unless a higher percentage of Voting Rights is required for such action).

 

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

    -374-

     

    
unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it, against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, unless repayment of such funds or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is reasonably assured to it; nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the obligation, upon the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event which has not been cured, to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs;

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

 

(vi)     The Trustee or the Certificate Administrator may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys; provided, that the appointment of such agents or attorneys shall not relieve the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator of its duties or obligations hereunder; provided, further, that the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, may not perform any duties hereunder through any Person that is a Prohibited Party;

 

(vii)     For all purposes under this Agreement, none of the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator shall be deemed to have actual knowledge or notice of any Servicer Termination Event or Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event or any act, failure or breach of any Person upon the occurrence of which the Trustee or Certificate Administrator may be required to act unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event, act, failure or breach, as applicable, which is in fact such a default is

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

 

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

 

(x)        In no event shall the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator be liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder due to force majeure or acts of God; provided that such failure or delay is not also a result of its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct;

 

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

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

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

 

Section 8.05  Fees and Expenses of Trustee and Certificate Administrator; Indemnification of Trustee and Certificate Administrator.  (a)  As compensation for the performance of its duties hereunder, the Certificate Administrator will be paid the Certificate Administrator/Trustee Fee equal to the Certificate Administrator’s portion of one month’s interest at the Certificate Administrator/Trustee Fee Rate, which shall cover recurring and otherwise reasonably anticipated expenses of the Certificate Administrator.  The Certificate Administrator/Trustee Fee shall be paid monthly on a Mortgage Loan-by-Mortgage Loan basis.  As to each Mortgage Loan and REO Loan (other than the portion of an REO Loan related to any Companion Loan), the Certificate Administrator shall pay to the Trustee monthly the Trustee Fee from the Certificate Administrator/Trustee Fee, which Certificate Administrator/Trustee Fee shall accrue from time to time at the Certificate Administrator/Trustee Fee Rate and the Certificate Administrator/Trustee Fee shall be computed 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

    -377-

     

    
 computed.  The Trustee Fee (which shall not be limited to any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) shall be payable by the Certificate Administrator to the Trustee from the Certificate Administrator/Trustee Fee and shall constitute the Trustee’s sole form of compensation for all services rendered by it in the execution of the trusts hereby created and in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties of the Trustee hereunder, except for the reimbursement of expenses specifically provided for herein.  The Certificate Administrator/Trustee Fee shall constitute the Certificate Administrator’s sole form of compensation for the exercise and performance of its powers and duties hereunder, except for the reimbursement of expenses specifically provided for herein.  No Trustee Fee or Certificate Administrator/Trustee Fee shall be payable with respect to any Companion Loan.

 

(b)        The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator (in each case, including in its capacity as Custodian and in its individual capacity) and any director, officer, employee, representative or agent of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, respectively, shall be entitled to be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust (to the extent of amounts on deposit in the Collection Account or the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, as applicable, from time to time) against any loss, liability or expense (including, without limitation, costs and expenses of litigation, and of investigation, counsel fees, damages, judgments, and amounts paid in settlement, and expenses incurred in becoming successor master servicer or successor special servicer, to the extent not otherwise paid hereunder, and reasonable legal fees and expenses relating to the enforcement of such indemnity) arising out of, or incurred in connection with, any act or omission of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, respectively, relating to the exercise and performance of any of the powers, rights and duties of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, respectively (including in any capacities in which they serve, such as paying agent, REMIC Administrator, Authenticating Agent, Custodian, Certificate Registrar, and 17g-5 Information Provider) hereunder; provided, that none of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, nor any of the other above specified Persons shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 8.05(b) for (i) allocable overhead, (ii) expenses or disbursements incurred or made by or on behalf of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, respectively, in the normal course of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, respectively, performing its duties in accordance with any of the provisions hereof, which are not “unanticipated expenses of the REMIC” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii), (iii) any expense or liability specifically required to be borne thereby pursuant to the terms hereof or (iv) any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in the performance of the Trustee’s or the Certificate Administrator’s, respectively, obligations and duties hereunder, or by reason of negligent disregard of such obligations or duties, or as may arise from a breach of any representation or warranty of the Trustee specified in Section 8.12 or the Certificate Administrator specified in Section 8.14, respectively, made herein.

A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificateholders by the Depositor. If no successor trustee or certificate administrator shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within ninety (90) days after the giving of such notice of removal, the removed Trustee or Certificate Administrator may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee or certificate administrator, as applicable, at the expense of the Trust.

Upon termination or resignation of the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator may appoint another Custodian meeting the foregoing requirements.  The appointment of one or more Custodians by the Certificate Administrator 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 any Custodian other than the initial Custodian.  Any Custodian appointed hereunder must maintain a fidelity bond and errors and omissions policy in an amount customary for Custodians which serve in such capacity in commercial mortgage loan securitization transactions, or may self-insure.

In the event that the Sole Certificateholder elects to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class V and Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust in accordance with the preceding sentence, such Sole Certificateholder, not later than the Distribution Date on which the final distribution on the Certificates is to occur, (i) shall deposit in the Collection Account an amount in immediately available funds equal to all amounts due and owing to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator hereunder through the date of the liquidation of the Trust that may be withdrawn from the Collection Account, or an escrow account acceptable to the respective parties hereto, pursuant to Section 3.05(a) or that may be withdrawn from the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a), but only to the extent that such amounts are not already on deposit in the Collection Account and (ii) if the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and the portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is equal to or greater than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of the Mortgage Loans as set forth in the Preliminary Statement, shall pay to the Master Servicer an amount equal to (x) the product of (I) the Prime Rate, (II) the aggregate of the Certificate Balances of the then-outstanding Principal Balance Certificates as of the date of such exchange and (III) three, divided by (y) 360, and shall pay the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer related to such exchange.  In addition, the Master Servicer shall transfer all amounts required to be transferred to the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account and Excess Interest Distribution Account on the P&I Advance Date related to such Distribution Date in which the final distribution

    -388-

     

    
on the Certificates is to occur from the Collection Account pursuant to the first paragraph of Section 3.04(b) (provided, that if a Serviced Whole Loan is secured by REO Property, the portion of the above-described purchase price allocable to such Trust’s portion of REO Property shall initially be deposited into the related REO Account).  Upon confirmation that such final deposits have been made and following the surrender of all its Certificates (other than the Class V and Class R Certificates) on the applicable Distribution Date, the Custodian shall, upon receipt of a Request for Release from the Master Servicer, release or cause to be released to the Sole Certificateholder or any designee thereof, the Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans and shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments furnished to it by the Sole Certificateholder as shall be necessary to effectuate transfer of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties remaining in the Trust Fund, and the Trust shall be liquidated in accordance with Section 9.02.  Solely for federal income tax purposes, the Sole Certificateholder shall be deemed to have purchased the assets of the Lower-Tier REMIC for an amount equal to the remaining Certificate Balance of the Principal Balance Certificates, plus accrued, unpaid interest with respect thereto, and the Certificate Administrator shall credit such amounts against amounts distributable in respect of such Certificates and Related Lower-Tier Regular Interests.

 

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

 

The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates, in that order of priority, may, at their option, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by clause (ii) of the first paragraph of this Section 9.01 by giving written notice to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, and the other parties hereto no later than sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated date of purchase; provided, that the Holders of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may so elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and the portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of the Mortgage Loans as set forth in the Preliminary Statement.  This purchase shall terminate the Trust and retire the then-outstanding Certificates.  In the event that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer purchases, or the Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class or the Holders of the Class R Certificates purchase, all of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class or the Holders of the Class R Certificates, as applicable, shall deposit in the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account not later than the P&I Advance Date relating to the Distribution Date on which the final distribution on the Certificates is to occur, an amount in immediately available funds equal to the above-described purchase price (exclusive of any portion thereof payable to any Person other than the

    -389-

     

    
Certificateholders pursuant to Section 3.05(a), which portion shall be deposited in the Collection Account).  In addition, the Master Servicer shall transfer to the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account all amounts required to be transferred thereto on such P&I Advance Date from the Collection Account pursuant to the first paragraph of Section 3.04(b), together with any other amounts on deposit in the Collection Account that would otherwise be held for future distribution.  Upon confirmation that such final deposits and payments have been made, the Custodian shall release or cause to be released to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class or the Holders of the Class R Certificates, as applicable, the Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans and shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments furnished to it by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class or the Holders of the Class R Certificates, as applicable, as shall be necessary to effectuate transfer of the Mortgage Loans as assets of the Trust and REO Properties remaining in the Trust Fund.

 

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

 

Notice of any termination pursuant to this Section 9.01 shall be given promptly by the Certificate Administrator by letter to the Certificateholders, each Serviced Companion Noteholder and the 17g-5 Information Provider in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.13(c) (who shall promptly post a copy of such additional notice on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.13(c)) and, if not previously notified pursuant to this Section 9.01, to the other parties hereto mailed (a) in the event such notice is given in connection with the purchase of all of the Mortgage Loans is an asset of the Trust) and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, not earlier than the 15th day and not later than the 25th day of the month next preceding the month of the final distribution on the Certificates, or (b) otherwise during the month of such final distribution on or before the P&I Advance Determination Date in such month, in each case specifying (i) the Distribution Date upon which the Trust will terminate and final payment of the Certificates will be made, (ii) the amount of any such final payment 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 offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location therein designated.

 

After transferring the Lower-Tier Distribution Amount and the amount of any Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges distributable to the Regular Certificates pursuant to Section 4.01(e) to the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, in each case pursuant to Section 3.04(b) and upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates by the Certificateholders on the final Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to each Certificateholder so presenting and surrendering its Certificates (i) such Certificateholder’s Percentage Interest of that portion of the amounts then on deposit in the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account that are allocable to payments on the Class of Certificates so presented, (ii) to Holders of the Class V Certificates so presented, any amounts remaining on deposit in the Excess Interest Distribution Account, and (iii) any remaining amount shall be distributed to the Class R

    -390-

     

    
 

Certificates in respect of the Class LR Interest or the Class UR Interest, as applicable.  Amounts transferred from the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account to the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account as of the final Distribution Date, shall be distributed in termination and liquidation of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and the Class LR Interest in accordance with Sections 4.01(a), 4.01(c), 4.01(e) and 4.01(f).  Any funds not distributed on such Distribution Date shall be set aside and held uninvested in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders not presenting and surrendering their Certificates in the aforesaid manner and shall be disposed of in accordance with this Section 9.01 and Section 4.01(h).

 

Section 9.02   Additional Termination Requirements.  (a)  In the event the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer purchases, or the Holders of the Controlling Class or the Holders of the Class R Certificates purchase, all of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund as provided in Section 9.01, the Upper-Tier REMIC and Lower-Tier REMIC, as applicable, shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional requirements, which meet the definition of a “qualified liquidation” in Section 860F(a)(4) of the Code:

 

(i)         the Certificate Administrator shall specify the date of adoption of the plan of complete liquidation (which shall be the date of mailing of the notice specified in Section 9.01) in a statement attached to each of the related Trust REMICs’ final Tax Returns pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.860F-1;

 

(ii)       during the 90-day liquidation period and at or prior to the time of the making of the final payment on the Certificates, the Certificate Administrator on behalf of the Trustee shall sell all of the assets of the related Trust REMICs to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Holders of the Controlling Class or the Holders of the Class R Certificates, as applicable, for cash; and

 

(iii)      within such 90-day liquidation period and immediately following the making of the final payment on the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and the Certificates, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute or credit, or cause to be distributed or credited, to the Holders of the Class R Certificates in respect of the Class LR Interest (in the case of the Lower-Tier REMIC) and in respect of the Class UR Interest (in the case of the Upper-Tier REMIC) all cash on hand (other than cash retained to meet claims), and the Trust (if applicable) or the related Trust REMIC(s) shall terminate at that time.

ADDITIONAL REMIC PROVISIONS

 

Section 10.01   REMIC Administration.  (a)  The Certificate Administrator shall prepare or cause to be prepared, and file or cause to be filed with the IRS, on behalf of each Trust REMIC an application for a taxpayer identification number for such REMIC on IRS Form SS-4 or obtain such number by other permissible means.  The Certificate Administrator shall make elections or cause elections to be made to treat each Trust REMIC as a REMIC under the Code and, if necessary, under Applicable State and Local Tax Law.  Each such election will be made on Form 1066 or other appropriate federal tax return for the taxable year ending on the last day of the

    -391-

     

    
calendar year in which the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and the Certificates are issued.  For the purposes of the REMIC election in respect of the Upper-Tier REMIC, each Class of the Regular Certificates shall be designated as the “regular interests” and the Class UR Interest shall be designated as the sole class of “residual interests” in the Upper-Tier REMIC.  For purposes of the REMIC election in respect of the Lower-Tier REMIC, each Class of Lower-Tier Regular Interests shall be designated as a class of “regular interests” and the Class LR Interest shall be designated as the sole class of “residual interests” in the Lower-Tier REMIC.  None of the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall permit the creation of any “interests” (within the meaning of Section 860G of the Code) in any Trust REMIC other than the foregoing interests.

 

Any Threshold Event Collateral posted by a Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan holder shall be held by or at the direction of the Master Servicer in an outside reserve fund which shall not be an asset of any REMIC, and the party that posted such Threshold Event Collateral shall be the owner of such outside reserve fund, all within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(h).  Any such Threshold Event Collateral shall be applied in the same manner as collections on the related Serviced AB Whole Loan, as and to the extent provided for in the related Intercreditor Agreement, including without limitation by means of the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer drawing on any letter of credit delivered as Threshold Event Collateral as and to the extent provided for in the related Intercreditor Agreement.

 

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

 

(c)        The Certificate Administrator shall act on behalf of each Trust REMIC in relation to any tax matter or controversy involving either such REMIC and shall represent each such REMIC in any administrative or judicial proceeding relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority with respect thereto.  The legal expenses, including without limitation attorneys’ or accountants’ fees, and costs of any such proceeding and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses of the Trust and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor out of amounts attributable to the Mortgage Loans and any REO Properties on deposit in the Collection Account as provided by Section 3.05(a) unless such legal expenses and costs are incurred by reason of the Certificate Administrator’s willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence. 

 

(d)       By acceptance thereof, the Holders of the Class R Certificates hereby agree to the irrevocable designation of the Certificate Administrator as the “partnership representative” of each Trust REMIC within the meaning of Section 6223 of the Code.

 

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

 

(f)        The Certificate Administrator shall provide or cause to be provided (i) to any Transferor of a Class R Certificate such information as is necessary for the application of any tax relating to the transfer of such Class R Certificate to any Person who is a Disqualified

    -392-

     

    
Organization, or in the case of a Transfer to an agent thereof, to such agent, (ii) to the Certificateholders such information or reports as are required by the Code or the REMIC Provisions including reports relating to interest, original issue discount and market discount or premium (using the Prepayment Assumption) and (iii) Form 8811 to the Internal Revenue Service within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date.

 

(g)        The Certificate Administrator shall take such actions and shall cause the Trust to take such actions as are reasonably within the Certificate Administrator’s control and the scope of its duties more specifically set forth herein as shall be necessary to maintain the status of each Trust REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and the Trustee shall assist the Certificate Administrator to the extent reasonably requested by the Certificate Administrator to do so.  Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall knowingly or intentionally take any action, cause the Trust to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action reasonably within its control and the scope of duties more specifically set forth herein, that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (i) cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon any Trust REMIC or the Trust (including but not limited to the tax on “prohibited transactions” as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code, but not including the tax on “net income from foreclosure property”) (either such event, an “Adverse REMIC Event”) unless the Certificate Administrator receives an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action or, if such party fails to pay such expense, and the Certificate Administrator determines that taking such action is in the best interest of the Trust and the Certificateholders, at the expense of the Trust, but in no event at the expense of the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee) to the effect that the contemplated action will not, with respect to the Trust, any Trust REMIC created hereunder, endanger such status or, unless the Certificate Administrator determines in its sole discretion to indemnify the Trust against such tax, result in the imposition of such a tax (not including a tax on “net income from foreclosure property”).  The Trustee shall not take or fail to take any action (whether or not authorized hereunder) as to which the Certificate Administrator has advised it in writing that it has received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur with respect to such action.  The Certificate Administrator may consult with counsel to make such written advice, and the cost of same shall be borne by the party seeking to take the action not expressly permitted by this Agreement, but in no event at the expense of the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee.  At all times as may be required by the Code, the Certificate Administrator will to the extent within its control and the scope of its duties more specifically set forth herein, maintain substantially all of the assets of each Trust REMIC as “qualified mortgages” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code and “permitted investments” as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.

 

(h)        In the event that any applicable federal, state or local tax, including interest, penalties or assessments, additional amounts or additions to tax, is imposed on any Trust REMIC, such tax shall be charged against amounts otherwise distributable to the Holders of the Certificates, except as provided in the last sentence of this Section 10.01(h); provided that with respect to the estimated amount of tax imposed on any “net income from foreclosure property” pursuant to Section 860G(c) of the Code or any similar tax imposed by a state or local tax authority, the Special Servicer shall retain in the related REO Account a reserve for the payment of such taxes in such amounts and at such times as it shall deem appropriate (or as advised by the Certificate

    -393-

     

    
Administrator in writing), and shall remit to the Master Servicer such reserved amounts as the Master Servicer shall request in order to pay such taxes.  Except as provided in the preceding sentence, the Master Servicer shall withdraw from the Collection Account sufficient funds to pay or provide for the payment of, and to actually pay, such tax as is estimated to be legally owed by any Trust REMIC (but such authorization shall not prevent the Certificate Administrator from contesting, at the expense of the Trust (other than as a consequence of a breach of its obligations under this Agreement), any such tax in appropriate proceedings, and withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings).  The Certificate Administrator is hereby authorized to and shall segregate, into a separate non-interest bearing account, the net income from any “prohibited transaction” under Section 860F(a) of the Code or the amount of any taxable contribution to any Trust REMIC after the Startup Day that is subject to tax under Section 860G(d) of the Code and use such income or amount, to the extent necessary, to pay such prohibited transactions tax.  To the extent that any such tax (other than any such tax paid in respect of “net income from foreclosure property”) is paid to the Internal Revenue Service or applicable state or local tax authorities, the Certificate Administrator shall retain an equal amount from future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holders of Class R Certificates (as applicable) and shall distribute such retained amounts, (x) in the case of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests, to the Upper-Tier REMIC to the extent they are fully reimbursed for any Realized Losses arising therefrom and then to the Holders of the Class R Certificates in respect of the Class LR Interest in the manner specified in Section 4.01(c) and (y) in the case of the Upper-Tier REMIC, to the Holders of the Principal Balance Certificates in the manner specified in Section 4.01(a), to the extent they are fully reimbursed for any Realized Losses arising therefrom and then to the Holders of the Class R Certificates in respect of the Class UR Interest.  None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be responsible for any taxes imposed on any Trust REMIC except to the extent such taxes arise as a consequence of a breach of their respective obligations under this Agreement which breach constitutes willful misconduct, bad faith, or negligence by such party.

 

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

 

(j)        Following the Startup Day, neither the Certificate Administrator nor the Trustee shall accept any contributions of assets to any Trust REMIC unless the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to make such contribution) to the effect that the inclusion of such assets in such Trust REMIC will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event.

 

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

 

(l)         Solely for the purposes of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii), the “latest possible maturity date” by which the Certificate Balance or Notional Amount of each Class of Regular Certificates and by which the Lower-Tier Principal

    -394-

     

    
Amount of each Class of Lower-Tier Regular Interests would be reduced to zero is the date that is the Rated Final Distribution Date.

 

(m)       None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall sell, dispose of or substitute for any of the Mortgage Loans (except in connection with (i) the default, imminent default or foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan, including but not limited to, the acquisition or sale of a Mortgaged Property acquired by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, (ii) the bankruptcy of the Trust, (iii) the termination of the Trust pursuant to ARTICLE IX of this Agreement or (iv) a purchase of Mortgage Loans pursuant to ARTICLE II or ARTICLE III of this Agreement) or acquire any assets for the Trust or any Trust REMIC or sell or dispose of any investments in the Collection Account or the REO Account for gain unless it has received an Opinion of Counsel that such sale, disposition or substitution will not (a) affect adversely the status of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC or (b) unless the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, has determined in its sole discretion to indemnify the Trust against such tax, cause the Trust or any Trust REMIC to be subject to a tax on “prohibited transactions” pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.

 

(n)        The Certificate Administrator’s authority under this Agreement includes the authority to make, and the Certificate Administrator is hereby directed to make, any elections allowed under the Code (i) to avoid the application of Section 6221 of the Code (or successor provisions) to either Trust REMIC and (ii) to avoid payment by either Trust REMIC under Section 6225 of the Code (or successor provisions) of any tax, penalty, interest or other amount imposed under the Code that would otherwise be imposed on any Class R Certificateholder, past or present.  Each Class R Certificateholder agrees, by acquiring such Certificate, to any such elections.

    -395-

     

    
 

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

(a)  The Certificate Administrator may appoint at the Certificate Administrator’s expense, one or more REMIC Administrators, which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Certificate Administrator in performing the functions set forth in Section 10.01 herein.  The Certificate Administrator shall cause any such REMIC Administrator to execute and deliver to the Certificate Administrator an instrument in which REMIC Administrator shall agree to act in such capacity, with the obligations and responsibilities herein.

(c)       Any REMIC Administrator may at any time resign by giving at least thirty (30) days’ advance written notice of resignation to the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Depositor.

The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the purpose of ARTICLE XI of this Agreement is to facilitate compliance by the Depositor (and any Other Depositor of any Other Securitization that includes a Serviced Companion Loan) with the provisions of Regulation AB and the related rules and regulations of the Commission.  The Depositor shall not exercise its rights to request delivery of information or other performance under these provisions other than in reasonable good faith, or for purposes other than compliance with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and, in each case, the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.  The parties hereto acknowledge that interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB may change over time, due to interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff, and agree to comply with requests made by the Depositor (or any Other Depositor or Other Trustee of any Other Securitization that includes a Serviced Companion Loan) in good faith for delivery of information under these provisions on the basis of such evolving interpretations of Regulation AB (to the extent such interpretations require compliance and are not “grandfathered”).  In connection with the Morgan Stanley Capital I Trust 2020-L4, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2020-L4, and any Other Securitization subject to Regulation AB that includes a Serviced Companion Loan, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator shall cooperate fully with the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator, and any Other Depositor, Other Trustee and Other Certificate Administrator of any Other Securitization that includes a Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable, to deliver or make available to the Depositor or the Certificate Administrator, and any such Other Depositor, Other Trustee or Other Certificate Administrator, as applicable (including any of its assignees or designees), any and all statements, reports, certifications, records and any other information (in its possession or reasonably attainable) necessary in the reasonable good faith determination of the Depositor or such Other Depositor, as applicable, to permit the Depositor or such Other Depositor, as applicable, to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, together with such disclosures relating to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, and any Sub-Servicer, or the servicing of the Mortgage Loans (and the related Serviced Companion Loan, if applicable), reasonably believed by the Depositor or the related Other Depositor to be necessary in order to effect such compliance.

(b)      Each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Sub-Servicer, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor and the Certificate Administrator (each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor and the Certificate Administrator and each Sub-Servicer, for purposes of this Section 11.02, a “Servicer”) is permitted to utilize one or more Subcontractors to perform certain of its obligations hereunder.  If such Subcontractor will be a Servicing Function Participant, such Servicer shall promptly upon written request provide to the Depositor or any Mortgage Loan Seller (and, subject to the reimbursement of any applicable expenses under Section 11.15, any Other Trustee, Other Certificate Administrator and Other Depositor related to any Other Securitization that includes a related Serviced Companion Loan) a written description (in form and substance satisfactory to the Depositor, such Mortgage Loan Seller or such Other Trustee, Other Certificate Administrator or Other Depositor, as applicable) of the role and function of each Subcontractor utilized by such Servicer, specifying (i) the identity of such Subcontractor and (ii) the elements of the Servicing Criteria that will be addressed in assessments of compliance provided by each such Subcontractor.

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

 

(d)        In connection with the succession to the Trustee under this Agreement by any Person (i) into which the Trustee may be merged or consolidated, or (ii) which may be appointed as a successor to the Trustee, the Trustee shall deliver written notice to the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator and the 17g-5 Information Provider, which shall promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(c), in each case at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to the effective date of such succession or appointment (or if such prior notice is violative of applicable law or any applicable confidentiality agreement, no later than one (1) Business Day after such effective date of succession) and shall furnish to the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator, in writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator, all information reasonably necessary for the Certificate Administrator to accurately and timely report, pursuant to Section 11.07, the event under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K pursuant to the Exchange Act (if such reports under the Exchange Act are required to be filed under the Exchange Act).

 

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

 

(f)       Any information furnished pursuant to this Section 11.02 shall also be provided, and subject to the reimbursement of any applicable expenses under Section 11.15, to each Other Depositor and each Other Certificate Administrator (to the extent the information relates to a party that services, specially services or is trustee for a Serviced Companion Loan) in the same time frame as set forth in this Section 11.02.

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

Any Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendment to Form 8-K, Form 10-D, Form ABS-EE or Form 10-K shall be signed by an officer of the Depositor.  The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the performance by the Certificate Administrator of its duties under this Section 11.03 related to the timely preparation and filing of Form 15, a Form 12b-25 or any amendment to Form 8-K, Form 10-D, Form ABS-EE or Form 10-K is contingent upon the parties observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties under Sections 11.03, 11.04, 11.05, 11.06, 11.07, 11.08, 11.09, 11.10, 11.11 and 11.15 of this Agreement.  The Certificate Administrator shall have no liability for any loss, expense, damage, claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare, arrange for execution and/or timely file any such Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Form 8-K, Form 10-D, Form ABS-EE or Form 10-K, where such failure results from the Certificate Administrator’s inability or failure to receive, on a timely basis, any information from any other party hereto needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Form 8-K, Form 10-D, Form ABS-EE or Form 10-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

On each Distribution Date occurring after providing such notice to Certificateholders, the Certificate Administrator, based on information provided to it by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall determine whether (1) any additional Mortgage Loan has become a Delinquent Loan, (2) any Mortgage Loan has ceased to be a Delinquent Loan and (3) whether an Asset Review Trigger has ceased to exist, and, if there is an occurrence of any of the events or circumstances identified in clauses (1), (2) and/or (3), deliver such information in a written notice (which may be via email) in the form of Exhibit SS within two (2) Business Days to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer.

 

If Certificateholders entitled to not less than 5% of the Voting Rights of the Certificates deliver to the Certificate Administrator, within 90 days after the filing of the Form 10-D reporting the occurrence of an Asset Review Trigger, a written direction requesting a vote to commence an Asset Review (an “Asset Review Vote Election”), then the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice thereof to all Certificateholders and the Asset Representations Reviewer and conduct a solicitation of votes in accordance with Section 5.10 to authorize an Asset Review. Upon the affirmative vote to authorize an Asset Review by Holders of Certificates entitled to both (i) a majority of the Voting Rights allocable to those Certificateholders who cast votes and (ii) a majority of the Voting Rights that constitute a minimum Asset Review Quorum within 150 days of the receipt of the Asset Review Vote Election (an “Affirmative Asset Review Vote”), the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice thereof to all parties to this Agreement, the Underwriters, the Mortgage Loan Sellers, the Directing Certificateholder, the Risk Retention Consultation Party and the other Certificateholders (the “Asset Review Notice”). Upon receipt of an Asset Review Notice, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall request access to the Secure Data Room by providing the Certificate Administrator with a certification substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit RR (which shall be sent via email to trustadministrationgroup@wellsfargo.com or

 

    -425-

     

    
 

submitted electronically via the Certificate Administrator’s Website). Upon receipt of such certification, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly (and in any case within two (2) Business Days after such receipt) grant the Asset Representations Reviewer access to the Secure Data Room. In the event an Affirmative Asset Review Vote has not occurred within such 150-day period following the receipt of the Asset Review Vote Election, no Certificateholder may request a vote or cast a vote for an Asset Review and the Asset Representations Reviewer will not be required to review any Delinquent Loan unless and until (A) an additional Mortgage Loan has become a Delinquent Loan after the expiration of such 150-day period, (B) a new Asset Review Trigger has occurred as a result or an Asset Review Trigger is otherwise in effect, (C) the Certificate Administrator has timely received any Asset Review Vote Election after the occurrence of the events described in clauses (A) and (B) in this sentence and (D) an Affirmative Asset Review Vote has occurred within 150 days after the Asset Review Vote Election described in clause (C) in this sentence. After the occurrence of any Asset Review Vote Election or an Affirmative Asset Review Vote, no Certificateholder may make any additional Asset Review Vote Election except as described in the immediately preceding sentence. Any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with administering such vote shall be paid by the related Mortgage Loan Seller; provided, that if the related Mortgage Loan Seller is insolvent or fails to pay such amount within ninety (90) days of written request by the Certificate Administrator, such amount shall be paid by the Trust following delivery by the Certificate Administrator of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Enforcing Servicer of such insolvency or failure to pay such amount; provided, further, that notwithstanding any payment of such amount by the Trust to the Certificate Administrator, such amount shall remain an obligation of the related Mortgage Loan Seller, and the Enforcing Servicer shall determine in accordance with the Servicing Standard whether it is in the best interest of Certificateholders to pursue and, if it so determines, pursue remedies against such Mortgage Loan Seller in accordance with the Servicing Standard in order to seek recovery of such amounts from such Mortgage Loan Seller. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to administer any vote in connection with the foregoing through an agent.

 

(b)          (i) Upon receipt of an Asset Review Notice, the Custodian (with respect to clauses (1) - (5) below for all Mortgage Loans), the Master Servicer (with respect to clauses (6) and (7) below for all Non-Specially Serviced Loans) and the Special Servicer (with respect to clauses (6) and (7) below for Specially Serviced Loans), in each case to the extent in such party’s possession, shall promptly, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days (except with respect to clauses (6) and (7) below) after receipt of such notice from the Certificate Administrator, provide the following materials to the extent in their possession to the Asset Representations Reviewer (collectively, with the Diligence Files, a copy of the Prospectus, a copy of each related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and a copy of this Agreement, the “Review Materials”):

 

(1)        a copy of an assignment of the Mortgage in favor of the Trustee, with evidence of recording thereon, for each Delinquent Loan that is subject to an Asset Review;

 

(2)        a copy of an assignment of any related assignment of leases (if such item is a document separate from the Mortgage) in favor of the Trustee, with evidence of recording thereon, related to each Delinquent Loan that is subject to an Asset Review;

 

    -426-

     

    
 

(3)        a copy of the assignment of all unrecorded documents relating to each Delinquent Loan that is subject to an Asset Review, if not already covered pursuant to items (1) or (2) above;

 

(4)        a copy of all filed copies (bearing evidence of filing) or evidence of filing of any UCC financing statements related to each Delinquent Loan that is subject to an Asset Review;

 

(5)        a copy of an assignment in favor of the Trustee of any financing statement executed and filed in the relevant jurisdiction related to each Delinquent Loan that is subject to an Asset Review;

 

(6)        a copy of any notice previously delivered by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, of any alleged defect or breach with respect to any Delinquent Loan; and

 

(7)        any other related documents that are reasonably requested by the Asset Representations Reviewer to be delivered by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in the time frames and as otherwise described pursuant to clause (ii) hereof.

 

(ii)          If the Asset Representations Reviewer determines that it is missing any document that is required to be part of the Review Materials for such Mortgage Loan that was entered into or delivered in connection with the origination of the related Mortgage Loan that is necessary in connection with its completion of any Asset Review, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall promptly, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Review Materials identified in clauses (1) - (5) above, notify the Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans), as applicable, of such missing documents, and request that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, promptly, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after receipt of notification from the Asset Representations Reviewer, deliver to the Asset Representations Reviewer such missing documents to the extent in its possession. In the event any missing documents are not provided by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, within such ten (10) Business Day period, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall request such documents from the related Mortgage Loan Seller. The related Mortgage Loan Seller shall be required under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to deliver such additional documents only to the extent in the possession of such Mortgage Loan Seller but in any event excluding any documents that contain information that is proprietary to the related originator or Mortgage Loan Seller or any draft documents or privileged or internal communications (and, if such documents are not in its possession, solely with respect to any Mortgage Loan sold by such Mortgage Loan Seller that is a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, Mortgage Loan Seller shall be required to make a request under the applicable Non-Serviced PSA for any such documents that are not in its possession). In the event any missing documents with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan are not provided by the Mortgage Loan Seller, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall request such documents from the parties to the related Non-Serviced PSA, to the extent that the Asset

 

    -427-

     

    
 

Representations Reviewer is entitled to request such documents under such Non-Serviced PSA.

 

(iii)       The Asset Representations Reviewer may, but is under no obligation to, consider and rely upon information furnished to it by a Person that is not a party to this Agreement or the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, and shall do so only if such information can be independently verified (without unreasonable effort or expense to the Asset Representations Reviewer) and is determined by the Asset Representations Reviewer in its good faith and sole discretion to be relevant to the Asset Review conducted pursuant to this Section 12.01 (any such information, “Unsolicited Information”).

 

(iv)       Upon receipt by the Asset Representations Reviewer of the Asset Review Notice and access to the Diligence File posted to the Secure Data Room with respect to a Delinquent Loan, the Asset Representations Reviewer, as an independent contractor, shall commence a review of the compliance of each Delinquent Loan with the representations and warranties related to that Delinquent Loan (such review, the “Asset Review”); provided, the Asset Representations Reviewer may, but is under no obligation to, modify any Test and/or associated Review Materials if, and only to the extent, the Asset Representations Reviewer determines pursuant to the Asset Review Standard that it is necessary to modify such Test and/or such associated Review Materials in order to facilitate its Asset Review in accordance with the Asset Review Standard; provided, further, that no such modification will be permitted to the extent that it eliminates any Test item or Review Material that is otherwise still applicable to the Asset Review. The Asset Representations Reviewer shall perform an Asset Review with respect to each representation and warranty made by the related Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to such Delinquent Loan in accordance with the procedures set forth on Exhibit QQ (each such procedure, a “Test”). Once an Asset Review of a Mortgage Loan is completed, no further Asset Review shall be required in respect of, or performed on, such Mortgage Loan notwithstanding that such Mortgage Loan may continue to be a Delinquent Loan or again become a Delinquent Loan at a time when a new Asset Review Trigger occurs and a new Affirmative Asset Review Vote is obtained subsequent to the occurrence of such new Asset Review Trigger.

 

(v)        No Certificateholder shall have the right to change the scope of the Asset Review, and the Asset Representations Reviewer shall not be required to review any information other than (1) the Review Materials and (2) if applicable, Unsolicited Information.

 

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

 

(vii)      The Asset Representations Reviewer shall prepare a preliminary report with respect to each Delinquent Loan within forty-five (45) Business Days after the date on which access to the Secure Data Room is provided. In the event that the Asset Representations Reviewer determines that the Review Materials are insufficient to

 

    -428-

     

    
 

complete a Test and such missing documentation is not delivered to the Asset Representations Reviewer by the related Mortgage Loan Seller, the Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) within ten (10) Business Days following the request by the Asset Representations Reviewer, as described in Section 12.01(b)(ii), the Asset Representations Reviewer shall list such missing documents in such preliminary report setting forth the preliminary results of the application of the Tests and the reasons why such missing documents are necessary to complete a Test and (if the Asset Representations Reviewer has so concluded) that the absence of such documents will be deemed to be a failure of such Test. The Asset Representations Reviewer shall provide such preliminary report to the Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to all Mortgage Loans) and to the related Mortgage Loan Seller. If the preliminary report indicates that any of the representations and warranties fails or is deemed to fail any Test, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall have ninety (90) days (the “Cure/Contest Period”) to remedy or otherwise refute the failure. Any documents provided or explanations given to support a Test pass conclusion or that any missing documents in the Review Materials are not required to complete a Test shall be promptly delivered by the related Mortgage Loan Seller to the Asset Representations Reviewer. The Asset Representations Reviewer shall not be required to prepare a preliminary report in the event the Asset Representations Reviewer determines that there is no Test failure with respect to the related Mortgage Loan.

 

(viii)     The Asset Representations Reviewer shall, within the later of (x) sixty (60) days after the date on which access to the Secure Data Room is provided to the Asset Representations Reviewer by the Certificate Administrator or (y) within the ten (10) days after the expiration of the Cure/Contest Period, complete an Asset Review with respect to each Delinquent Loan and deliver (i) a report setting forth the Asset Representations Reviewer’s findings and conclusions as to whether or not it has determined there is any evidence of a failure of any Test based on the Asset Review and a statement that the Asset Representations Reviewer’s findings and conclusions set forth in such report were not influenced by any third party (an “Asset Review Report”) to each party to this Agreement, the related Mortgage Loan Seller for each Delinquent Loan and the Directing Certificateholder and (ii) a summary of the Asset Representations Reviewer’s conclusions included in such Asset Review Report (an “Asset Review Report Summary”) to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer. The period of time by which the Asset Review Report must be completed and delivered may be extended by up to an additional thirty (30) days, upon written notice to the parties to this Agreement and the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, if the Asset Representations Reviewer determines pursuant to the Asset Review Standard that such additional time is required due to the characteristics of the Mortgage Loan and/or the Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties. In no event may the Asset Representations Reviewer determine whether any Test failure constitutes a Material Defect, or whether the Trust should enforce any rights it may have against the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, which, in each case, shall be the responsibility of the Enforcing Servicer pursuant to Section 2.03(f) of this Agreement.

 

    -429-

     

    
 

(ix)       In addition, in the event that the Asset Representations Reviewer does not receive any documentation that it requested from the Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans), the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) or the related Mortgage Loan Seller in sufficient time to allow the Asset Representations Reviewer to complete its Asset Review and deliver an Asset Review Report, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall prepare the Asset Review Report solely based on the documentation received by the Asset Representations Reviewer with respect to the related Delinquent Loan, and the Asset Representations Reviewer shall have no responsibility to independently obtain any such documentation from any party to this Agreement or otherwise.

 

(x)        Within forty-five (45) days after receipt of an Asset Review Report with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the Enforcing Servicer shall determine, based on the Servicing Standard, whether there exists a Material Defect with respect to such Mortgage Loan. If the Enforcing Servicer determines that a Material Defect exists, it shall enforce the obligations of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to such Material Defect in accordance with Section 2.03(b).

 

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

 

In addition, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall keep all documents and information received by the Asset Representations Reviewer in connection with an Asset Review that are provided by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer confidential and shall not disclose such documents or information except (i) for purposes of complying with its duties and obligations pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) if such documents or information become generally available and known to the public other than as a result of a disclosure directly or indirectly by the Asset Representations Reviewer, (iii) if it is reasonable and necessary for the Asset Representations Reviewer to disclose such documents or information in working with legal counsel, auditors, taxing authorities or other governmental agencies, (iv) if any such document or information was already known to the Asset Representations Reviewer and not otherwise subject to a confidentiality obligation and/or (v) if the Asset Representations Reviewer is required by law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree to disclose such document or information.

 

(d)       The Asset Representations Reviewer may delegate its duties to agents or subcontractors so long as the related agreements or arrangements with such agents or subcontractors are consistent with the provisions of this Section 12.01; provided that no agent or

 

    -430-

     

    
 

subcontractor may (i) be affiliated with any Mortgage Loan Seller, Master Servicer, Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Directing Certificateholder or any of their respective Affiliates or (ii) have been paid any fees, compensation or other remuneration by an Underwriter, Master Servicer, Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Directing Certificateholder or any of their respective Affiliates in connection with due diligence or other services with respect to any Mortgage Loan prior to the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall remain obligated and primarily liable for any Asset Review required hereunder in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability or related obligation or liability by virtue of such delegation or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from any Person acting as its agents or subcontractor to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Asset Representations Reviewer alone were performing its obligations under this Agreement. The Asset Representations Reviewer shall be entitled to enter into an agreement with any agent or subcontractor providing for indemnification of the Asset Representations Reviewer by such agent or subcontractor, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.

 

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

 

(a)        The Asset Representations Reviewer shall be paid a fee of $5,000 (the “Asset Representations Reviewer Upfront Fee”) on the Closing Date. As compensation for the performance of its routine duties, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall be paid a fee (the “Asset Representations Reviewer Fee”), payable monthly from amounts received in respect of the Mortgage Loans and shall accrue at a rate equal to 0.00031% per annum (the “Asset Representations Reviewer Fee Rate”) on the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and any REO Loans (including any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, but not any Companion Loan) and shall be calculated in the same manner as interest is calculated on such Mortgage Loans.

 

(b)        As compensation for the performance of its duties hereunder, with respect to an individual Asset Review Trigger and the Mortgage Loans that are Delinquent Loans and are subject to an Asset Review (for purposes of this definition, “Subject Loans”), upon the completion of any Asset Review with respect to an individual Asset Review Trigger, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall be paid a fee equal to the sum of: (i) $15,000 plus $1,000 per additional Mortgaged Property with respect to a Delinquent Loan with a Cut-off Date Balance less than $20,000,000, (ii) $20,000 plus $1,000 per additional Mortgaged Property with respect to a Delinquent Loan with a Cut-off Date Balance greater than or equal to $20,000,000, but less than $40,000,000 or (iii) $25,000 plus $1,000 per additional Mortgaged Property with respect to a Delinquent Loan with a Cut-off Date Balance greater than or equal to $40,000,000 (any such fee, the “Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee”). The Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee with respect to each Delinquent Loan (or, in the case of a Joint Mortgage Loan, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller Percentage Interest thereof) shall be paid by the related Mortgage Loan Seller; provided, that if the related Mortgage Loan Seller is insolvent or fails to pay such amount within ninety (90) days of written request by the Asset Representations Reviewer, such fee shall be paid by the Trust Fund following delivery by the Asset Representations Reviewer of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Enforcing Servicer of such insolvency or failure to pay such amount; provided, that a statement of non-payment by the Asset Representations Reviewer

 

    -431-

     

    
 

ninety (90) days after an itemized invoice is delivered by registered mail to the address listed in this Agreement for the related Mortgage Loan Seller, or to such other address as shall be provided by such Mortgage Loan Seller for delivery of notice in accordance with this Agreement, together with evidence of delivery or attempted delivery of such invoice and reasonable follow up by phone or email, shall constitute satisfactory evidence delivered by the Asset Representations Reviewer of such failure to pay such amount (which evidence may be an officer’s certificate of the Asset Representations Reviewer); and provided, further, that notwithstanding any payment of such fee by the Trust to the Asset Representations Reviewer, such fee will remain an obligation of the related Mortgage Loan Seller, and the Enforcing Servicer shall determine in accordance with the Servicing Standard whether it is in the best interest of Certificateholders to pursue and, if it so determines, pursue remedies against such Mortgage Loan Seller in accordance with the Servicing Standard in order to seek recovery of such amounts from such Mortgage Loan Seller.

 

(c)        Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee with respect to a Delinquent Loan shall be included in the Purchase Price or Loss of Value Payment for any Mortgage Loan that was the subject of a completed Asset Review that is repurchased by a Mortgage Loan Seller, and such portion of the Purchase Price or Loss of Value Payment received shall be used to reimburse the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Trust, as the case may be, for such fees pursuant to Section 12.02(b).

 

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

 

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

 

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

Section 12.05  Termination of the Asset Representations Reviewer.

 

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

 

(i)         any failure by the Asset Representations Reviewer to observe or perform in any material respect any of its covenants or agreements or the material breach of any of its representations or warranties under this Agreement, which failure shall continue unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Asset Representations Reviewer by the Trustee or to the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates having greater than 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights of all then outstanding Certificates, provided, if such failure is capable of being cured and the Asset Representations Reviewer is diligently pursuing such cure, such thirty (30) day period will be extended an additional thirty (30) days;

 

(ii)        any failure by the Asset Representations Reviewer to perform its obligations hereunder in accordance with the Asset Review Standard in any material respect, which failure shall continue unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after the date written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, is given to the Asset Representations Reviewer by any party to this Agreement;

 

(iii)       any failure by the Asset Representations Reviewer to be an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer, which failure shall continue unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after the date written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, is given to the Asset Representations Reviewer by any party to this Agreement;

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

    -433-

     

    
 

Upon receipt by the Certificate Administrator of written notice of the occurrence of any Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice to all Certificateholders (which shall be simultaneously delivered to the Asset Representations Reviewer) in accordance with the notice distribution procedures described in Section 12.01(a), unless the Certificate Administrator has received written notice that such Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event has been remedied. If an Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event shall occur then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event shall not have been remedied, either the Trustee (i) may terminate or (ii) upon the written direction of Holders of Certificates entitled to not less than 25% of the Voting Rights (without regard to the application of any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts), shall terminate, all of the rights and obligations of the Asset Representations Reviewer under this Agreement, other than rights and obligations accrued prior to such termination (including the right to receive all amounts accrued and owing to it under this Agreement) and other than indemnification rights (arising out of events occurring prior to such termination), by notice in writing to the Asset Representations Reviewer. The Asset Representations Reviewer is required to bear all reasonable costs and expenses of itself and of each other party to this Agreement in connection with its termination due to an Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Depositor and each Mortgage Loan Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to notify the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee of any Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event of which it becomes aware.

 

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

 

    -434-

     

    
 

(c)        On or after the receipt by the Asset Representations Reviewer of written notice of termination, subject to this Section 12.05, all of its authority and power under this Agreement shall be terminated and, without limitation, the terminated Asset Representations Reviewer shall execute any and all documents and other instruments, and do or accomplish all other acts or things reasonably necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination. As soon as practicable, but in no event later than 30 days after (1) the Asset Representations Reviewer resigns pursuant to Section 12.03 of this Agreement or (2) the Trustee delivers such written notice of termination to the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee shall appoint a successor asset representations reviewer that is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer. The Trustee shall provide written notice of the appointment of an Asset Representations Reviewer to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Certificateholder and each Certificateholder within one Business Day of such appointment.

 

The Asset Representations Reviewer shall at all times be an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer and if the Asset Representations Reviewer ceases to be an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall immediately notify the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Directing Certificateholder of such disqualification and immediately resign under Section 12.03 of this Agreement and the Trustee shall appoint a successor asset representations reviewer subject to and in accordance with this Section 12.05. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Trustee is unable to find a successor asset representations reviewer within thirty (30) days of the termination of the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Depositor shall be permitted, but not obligated to, to find a replacement. The Trustee shall not be liable for any failure to identify and appoint a successor asset representations reviewer so long as the Trustee uses commercially reasonable efforts to conduct a search for a successor asset representations reviewer and such failure is not a result of the Trustee’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in the performance of its obligations hereunder.

 

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

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

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no such amendment (A) may change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary hereunder, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller or (B) may materially and adversely affect the holders of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent, and (ii) as long as there is a Serviced Companion Loan serviced under this Agreement, the Depositor shall provide three (3) Business Days’ prior notice of any amendment to this Agreement.

(v)        amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and confirmation of the applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any securities related to a Companion Loan, if any (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25) and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.

 

(c)        Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment hereto without having first received (i) an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted hereunder and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Trust Fund or any Trust REMIC, or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code and (ii) an Officer’s Certificate from the party requesting the amendment to the effect that all conditions precedent to such amendment set forth herein have been satisfied.

(d)       Promptly after the full execution of any amendment to this Agreement (but in no event later than 1 Business Day after receipt of such fully executed amendment), the Certificate Administrator shall post a copy of the same to the Certificate Administrator’s Website, deliver a copy of the same to the 17g-5 Information Provider who shall post a copy of the same on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(b) and Section 3.13(c), as applicable, and thereafter, the Certificate Administrator shall (i) furnish a copy of such amendment to each Certificateholder, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Underwriters, the Initial Purchasers and the Rating Agencies and (ii) deliver an electronic copy of such amendment on the effective date thereof to any related Serviced Companion Loan holder.

 

    -438-

     

    
 

(e)        It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this Section 13.01 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as the Certificate Administrator may prescribe.

 

(f)        The Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall not be obligated to enter into any amendment pursuant to this Section 13.01 that affects its rights, duties and immunities under this Agreement or otherwise.

(h)        The Servicing Standard shall not be amended unless each Rating Agency provides Rating Agency Confirmation and, with respect to any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the applicable rating agencies provide a confirmation that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings, if any (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25).

 

(i)         To the extent the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, Certificate Administrator, Master Servicer, Special Servicer, the Asset Representations Reviewer or Depositor obtains an Opinion of Counsel as provided for in Section 13.01(c) in connection with executing any amendment to this Agreement, such party shall be deemed not to have acted negligently in connection with entering into such amendment for purposes of availing itself of any indemnity provided to such party under this Agreement.

 

(j)         Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, for purposes of the giving or withholding of consents pursuant to this Section 13.01, Certificates registered in the name of the Depositor or any Affiliate of the Depositor shall be entitled to the same Voting Rights with respect to matters described above as they would if any other Person held such Certificates, so long as neither the Depositor nor any of its Affiliates is performing servicing duties with respect to any of the Mortgage Loans.

    -439-

     

    
 

amended by the parties hereto (at the expense of the party requesting such amendment (or, if the Master Servicer or Special Servicer is requesting such amendment in connection with the fulfillment of its duties under this Agreement, at the expense of the Trust)), without the consent of any Certificateholder, to add or modify provisions relating to the applicable Repurchased Note for purposes of the servicing and administration of such Repurchased Note provided that the amendment shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Certificateholders, as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency (obtained at the expense of the Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller) with respect to such amendment (or, if no such Rating Agency Confirmation is actually received, by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect). Prior to the effectiveness of such amendment, if one but not all of the Mortgage Notes with respect to a Joint Mortgage Loan is repurchased, the terms of Section 3.30 shall govern the servicing and administration of such Joint Mortgage Loan.

 

Section 13.02  Recordation of Agreement; Counterparts.

(b)        For the purpose of facilitating the recordation of this Agreement as herein provided and for other purposes, this Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement in Portable Document Format (PDF) or by facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed original counterpart of this Agreement.

(b)        No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as expressly provided for herein) or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management of the Trust, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything herein set forth, or contained in the terms of the Certificates, be construed so as to constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as partners or members of an association; nor shall any Certificateholder be under any liability

The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it hereunder or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the Holders of Certificates unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or hereby. It is understood and intended, and expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with every other Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatsoever by virtue of any provision of this Agreement or the Certificates to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other of such Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder, which priority or preference is not otherwise provided for herein, or to enforce any right under this Agreement or the Certificates, except in the manner herein or therein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Certificateholders.

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

 

Section 13.07  Grant of a Security Interest. The Depositor intends that the conveyance of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute a sale and not a pledge of security for a loan. If such conveyance is deemed to be a pledge of security for a loan, however, the Depositor intends that the rights and obligations of the parties to such loan shall be established pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee (in such capacity) a first priority security interest in the Depositor’s entire right, title and interest in, to and under the Conveyed Assets and all proceeds thereof, in each case, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising. This Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law. This Section 13.07 shall constitute notice to the Trustee pursuant to any of the requirements of the applicable UCC.

 

Section 13.08  Successors and Assigns; Third Party Beneficiaries. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto, and all such provisions shall inure to the benefit of the Certificateholders. Each Mortgage Loan Seller (and its respective agents), each Companion Holder (and its respective agents), each Underwriter, each depositor of a Regulation AB Companion Loan Securitization and each Initial Purchaser is an intended third-party beneficiary to this Agreement in respect of the respective rights afforded it hereunder. No other person,

 

    -447-

     

    
 

including, without limitation, any Mortgagor, shall be entitled to any benefit or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Agreement. If one, but not all, of the Mortgage Notes evidencing any Joint Mortgage Loan is repurchased, the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller shall be a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement to the same extent as if it were a holder of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, as contemplated by Section 3.30 hereof.

 

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

 

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

 

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

A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial [Certificate Balance][Notional Amount] of the Class [__] Certificates.

This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is bound.

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

 

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

 

Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of thirty (30) days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the applicable Pass-Through Rate specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement on the [Certificate Balance][Notional Amount] of this Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution Date.

 

Interest [FOR PRINCIPAL BALANCE CERTIFICATES: and principal] allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the Available Funds to be distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

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

 

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

 

    A-1-7

     

    

 

for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration of the Trust Fund.

 

All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

 

Any funds not distributed 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 of final payment has been given shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six (6) months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate, subject to applicable law with respect to escheatment of funds. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

MORGAN STANLEY CAPITAL I INC.

 

THIS CERTIFIES THAT [______________________] is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the Class V Certificates issued by the Trust created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of February 1, 2020 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between Morgan Stanley Capital I Inc. (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Operating Advisor. A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing the Percentage Interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof. The Certificates are designated as the Morgan Stanley Capital I Trust 2020-L4, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2020-L4 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust Fund.

 

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

 

This Certificate represents an undivided beneficial interest in a portion of a grantor trust that holds the Excess Interest and related amounts in the Excess Interest Distribution Account. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding

 

    A-2-4

     

    

 

sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.

 

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

 

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

 

All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

 

Any funds not distributed 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 of final payment has been given shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six (6) months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to

 

    A-2-5

     

    

 

contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate, subject to applicable law with respect to escheatment of funds. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

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

 

The Class V Certificates will be issued in full, registered, certificated form, in minimum percentage interests of 5% and integral multiples of 1% in excess thereof.

 

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

 

The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of any of them, shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

 

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Certificateholders under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement at any time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than a majority of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the Class. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon the Certificate. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement also permits

 

    A-2-6

     

    

 

the amendment thereof, in certain circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

 

The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates, in that order of priority, may, at their option, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by clause (ii) of the first paragraph of Section 9.01 in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by giving written notice to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement no later than sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated date of purchase; provided, that the Holders of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may so elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of the Mortgage Loans as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-SB Class A-2, Class A-3, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates are no longer outstanding (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class V Certificates and Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, by giving written notice to all parties thereto the Pooling and Servicing Agreement no later than sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated date of exchange, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class V Certificates and Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

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

 

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

MORGAN STANLEY CAPITAL I INC.

 

THIS CERTIFIES THAT [____________________] is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the Class R Certificates issued by the Trust created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of February 1, 2020 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between Morgan Stanley Capital I Inc. (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Operating Advisor. A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing the Percentage Interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof. The Certificates are designated as the Morgan Stanley Capital I Trust 2020-L4, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2020-L4 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust Fund.

 

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

 

This Class R Certificate represents a “residual interest” in two “real estate mortgage investment conduits”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(2) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this

 

    A-3-5

     

    

 

Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income. By acceptance of this Certificate, the Holder of this Class R Certificate hereby agrees to (A) the irrevocable designation of the Certificate Administrator as the “partnership representative” of each Trust REMIC within the meaning of Section 6223 of the Code, and (B) the Certificate Administrator making any elections allowed to avoid (1) the application of Code Section 6221 to the Trust REMIC and (2) payment by the Trust REMIC under Code Section 6225 of any tax, penalty, interest or other amount imposed under the Code that would otherwise be imposed on the holders of the Class R Certificates.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, distributions, if any, on this Certificate shall be made by the Certificate Administrator in an amount equal to the applicable pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of the distributions, if any, allocated to the Class R Certificates on the subject Distribution Date to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date. All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.

 

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

 

All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

 

    A-3-6

     

    
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 of final payment has been given shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six (6) months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate, subject to applicable law with respect to escheatment of funds. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

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

 

Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions. The rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions: (A) no Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate shall be a Disqualified Organization or agent thereof (including a nominee, middleman or similar person) (an “Agent”), a Plan or a Person acting on behalf of or investing the assets of a Plan (such Plan or Person, an “ERISA Prohibited Holder”) or a Disqualified Non-U.S. Tax Person and shall promptly notify the Certificate Registrar of any change or impending change to such status; (B) in connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall require delivery to it, and no Transfer of any Class R Certificate shall be registered until the Certificate Registrar receives, an affidavit substantially in the form attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as Exhibit D-1 (a “Transferee Affidavit”) from the proposed Transferee, in form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar, representing and warranting, among other things, that such Transferee is not a Disqualified Organization or Agent thereof, an ERISA Prohibited Holder or a Disqualified Non-U.S. Tax Person, and that it has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.03(n) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and agrees to be bound by them; (C) notwithstanding the delivery of a Transferee

 

    A-3-7

     

    

 

Affidavit by a proposed Transferee under clause (B) above, if the Certificate Registrar has actual knowledge that the proposed Transferee is a Disqualified Organization or Agent thereof, an ERISA Prohibited Holder or a Disqualified Non-U.S. Tax Person, no Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate to such proposed Transferee shall be effected; and (D) each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate shall agree (1) to require a Transferee Affidavit from any prospective Transferee to whom such Person attempts to transfer its Ownership Interest in such Class R Certificate and (2) not to transfer its Ownership Interest in such Class R Certificate unless it provides to the Certificate Registrar a letter substantially in the form attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as Exhibit D-2 (a “Transferor Letter”) certifying that, among other things, it has no actual knowledge or reason to know that the proposed Transferee’s statements in such Transferee Affidavit are false.

 

The Class R Certificates will be issued in fully registered, certificated form, in minimum percentage interests of 5% and integral multiples of 1% in excess thereof.

 

No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange of any Certificate (other than Definitive Certificates) referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.

 

The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of any of them, shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

 

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Certificateholders under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement at any time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than a majority of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the Class. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon the Certificate. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

 

The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates, in that order of priority, may, at their option, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by clause (ii) of the first paragraph of Section 9.01 in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by giving written notice to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement no later than sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated date of purchase; provided, that the Holders of the Controlling

 

    A-3-8

     

    

 

Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may so elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of the Mortgage Loans as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-SB, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates are no longer outstanding (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class V Certificates and Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, by giving written notice to all parties thereto the Pooling and Servicing Agreement no later than sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated date of exchange, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class V Certificates and Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

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

 

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

 

THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE ARISING HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER RELATED HERETO OR THERETO, THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES TO THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT, AND/OR THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF THE PARTIES TO THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS AND DECISIONS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CHOICE OF LAW RULES THEREOF. THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW SHALL APPLY TO THIS CERTIFICATE AND TO THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

This letter is delivered pursuant to Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of February 1, 2020 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), and executed in connection with the above-referenced transaction, on behalf of the holders of Morgan Stanley Capital I Trust 2020-L4, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2020-L4 (the “Certificates”) in connection with the transfer by _________________ (the “Seller”) to the undersigned (the “Purchaser”) of $_______________ aggregate Certificate Balance of Class ___ Certificates (the “Certificate”).

knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Certificates, and the Purchaser and any accounts for which it is acting are each able to bear the economic risk of the Purchaser’s or such account’s investment.  The Purchaser is acquiring the Certificates purchased by it for its own account or for one or more accounts, each of which is an Institutional Accredited Investor, as to each of which the Purchaser exercises sole investment discretion.  The Purchaser hereby undertakes to reimburse the Trust for any costs incurred by it in connection with this transfer.

 

	
 

	
☐

The Purchaser understands that the Certificate (and any subsequent Certificate) has not been registered under the Securities Act, by reason of a specified exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the Purchaser’s investment intent (or intent to reoffer, resell, pledge or transfer the Certificate only to certain investors in certain exempted transactions) as expressed herein.

 

4.         The Purchaser has reviewed the Prospectus (and, with respect to Non-Registered Certificates, the Private Placement Memorandum) and the agreements and other materials referred to therein and has had the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Prospectus.

(ii) a foreign government, any international organization or any agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing, (iii) any organization which is exempt from the tax imposed by Chapter 1 of the Code (including the tax imposed by Section 511 of the Code on unrelated business taxable income) on any excess inclusions (as defined in Section 860E(c)(1) of the Code) with respect to the Class R Certificates (except certain farmers’ cooperatives described in Section 521 of the Code), (iv) rural electric and telephone cooperatives described in Section 1381(a)(2)(C) of the Code and (v) any other Person so designated by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator based upon an Opinion of Counsel as provided to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator (at no expense to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator) that the holding of an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate by such Person may cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates are outstanding or any Person having an Ownership Interest in any Class of Certificates (other than such Person) to incur a liability for any federal tax imposed under the Code that would not otherwise be imposed but for the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate to such Person.  The terms “United States,” “State” and “international organization” shall have the meanings set forth in Section 7701 of the Code or successor provisions.

 

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

 

5.         The Purchaser is a Permitted Transferee and, to the extent applicable, the Purchaser’s U.S. taxpayer identification number is [__________].

 

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

 

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

 

8.         Check the applicable paragraph:

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

For purposes of this calculation, (i) the Purchaser is assumed to pay tax at the highest rate currently specified in Section 11(b) of the Code (but the tax rate in

 

    Exhibit D-1-2

     

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

☐         None of the above.

 

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

 

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

 

11.       The Purchaser is aware that the Certificate Registrar will not register any transfer of a Class R Certificate by the Transferor unless the Purchaser, or such Purchaser’s agent, delivers to the Certificate Registrar, among other things, an affidavit and agreement in substantially the same form as this affidavit and agreement.  The Purchaser expressly agrees that it will not consummate any such transfer to any person that does not provide such affidavit or agreement, if it knows or believes that any representation contained in such affidavit and agreement is false or if it has actual knowledge that such person is not a Permitted Transferee or is acting as an agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) for a person that is not a Permitted Transferee.

 

    Exhibit D-1-3

     

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

 

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

 

14.       The Purchaser has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, a description of which provisions is set forth in the Class R Certificates; and the Purchaser expressly agrees to be bound by and to comply with such provisions.

 

15.       The Purchaser consents to the designation of the Certificate Administrator as the “partnership representative” under Code Section 6223, of each Trust REMIC pursuant to Section 10.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and to the Certificate Administrator making any elections allowed to avoid (A) the application of Code Section 6221 to the Trust REMIC and (B) payment by the Trust REMIC under Code Section 6225 of any tax, penalty, interest or other amount imposed under the Code that would otherwise be imposed on the holders of the Class R Certificates.

Re:       Morgan Stanley Capital I Trust 2020-L4, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2020-L4 (the “Certificates”)

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

This letter is delivered to you in connection with the transfer by [______] (the “Transferor”) to [______] (the “Transferee”) of Class R Certificates evidencing a [__]% Percentage Interest in such Class (the “Residual Certificates”).  The Certificates, including the Residual Certificates, were issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and executed in connection with the above-referenced transaction.  All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  The Transferor hereby certifies, represents and warrants to you, as Certificate Registrar, that:

 

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

 

(2)        The Transferor understands that the Transferee has delivered to you a Transferee Affidavit and Agreement in the form attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as Exhibit D-1.  The Transferor has no actual knowledge that the Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee and has no actual knowledge or reason to know that the Transferee’s statements in the Transferee Affidavit are false.

 

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

respected for United States income tax purposes (and the Transferor may continue to be liable for United States income taxes associated therewith) unless the Transferor has conducted such an investigation.

Service Coverage Ratios are updated periodically as new NOI figures become available from borrowers on an asset level. In all
cases the most current DSCR provided by the Servicer is used. To the extent that no DSCR is provided by the Servicer,
information from the offering document is used. The Trustee makes no representations as to the accuracy of the data provided
by the borrower for this calculation.

	 
	 	 	 
	 	(2)
Anticipated Remaining Term and WAM are each calculated based upon the term from the current month to the earlier of the Anticipated
Repayment Date, if applicable, and the Maturity Date. 

	 
	 	 	 
	 	(3) Data in this table was calculated by allocating pro-rata the current
loan information to the properties based upon the Cut-Off Date balance of each property as disclosed in the offering document.

Scheduled Balance Totals reflect the aggregate balances of all pooled loans as reported in the CREFC Loan Periodic Update File.
To the extent that the Scheduled Balance Total figure for the “State” and “Property” stratification tables
is not equal to the sum of the scheduled balance figures for each state or property, the difference is explained by loans that
have been modified into a split loan structure. The “State” and “Property” stratification tables do not
include the balance of the subordinate note (sometimes called the B-piece or a “hope note”) of a loan that has been
modified into a split-loan structure. Rather, the scheduled balance for each state or property only reflects the balance of the
senior note (sometimes called the A-piece) of a loan that has been modified into a split-loan structure.	 
	 	 	 
	 	Note: There are no Hyper-Amortization
Loans included in the Mortgage Pool.

(together with its affiliates, the “Furnishing Entities” and each a “Furnishing Entity”) furnishing certain financial, operational, structural and other information relating to the issuance of the Morgan Stanley Capital I Trust 2020-L4, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2020-L4 (the “Certificates”) pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of February 1, 2020 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between Morgan Stanley Capital I Inc., as Depositor (the “Depositor”), Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, LNR Partners, LLC, as Special Servicer, Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor and Asset Representations Reviewer and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, Certificate Administrator and Custodian, and the assets underlying or referenced by the Certificates, including the identity of, and financial information with respect to borrowers, sponsors, guarantors, managers and lessees with respect to such assets (together, the “Collateral”) to you (the “NRSRO”) through the website of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as 17g-5 Information Provider under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, including the [section of the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website that hosts the Depositor’s 17g-5 website after the Closing Date (as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement)]. Information provided by each Furnishing Entity is labeled as provided by the specific Furnishing Entity.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Information to Be Held in Confidence.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

- disclose the Confidential Information to any of the NRSRO’s affiliates, directors, officers, employees, legal representatives, agents and advisors (each, a “NRSRO Representative”) who, in the

 

    Exhibit P-2-2

     

    
reasonable judgment of the NRSRO, need to know such Confidential Information in connection with the Intended Purpose; provided, that, prior to disclosure of the Confidential Information to a NRSRO Representative, the NRSRO shall have taken reasonable precautions to ensure, and shall be satisfied, that such NRSRO Representative will act in accordance with this Confidentiality Agreement;

 

- solely to the extent required for compliance with Rule 17g-5(a)(3) of the Act (17 C.F.R. 240.17g-5),post the Confidential Information to the NRSRO’s password protected website; and

 

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

 

Disclosures Required by Law. If you or any NRSRO Representative is requested or required (orally or in writing, by interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigatory demand, request for information or documents, deposition or similar process relating to any legal proceeding, investigation, hearing or otherwise) to disclose any Confidential Information, you agree to provide the relevant Furnishing Entity with notice as soon as practicable (except in the case of regulatory or other governmental inquiry, examination or investigation, and otherwise to the extent practical and permitted by law, regulation or regulatory or other governmental authority) that a request to disclose the Confidential Information has been made so that the relevant Furnishing Entity may seek an appropriate protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information if it so chooses. Unless otherwise required by a court or other governmental or regulatory authority to do so, and provided that you been informed by written notice that the related Furnishing Entity is seeking a protective order or other reasonable assurance for confidential treatment with respect to the requested Confidential Information, you agree not to disclose the Confidential Information while the Furnishing Entity’s effort to obtain such a protective order or other reasonable assurance for confidential treatment is pending. You agree to reasonably cooperate with each Furnishing Entity in its efforts to obtain a protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to the portion of the Confidential Information that is being disclosed, at the sole expense of such Furnishing Entity; provided, however, that in no event shall the NRSRO be required to take a position that such information should be entitled to receive such a protective order or reasonable assurance as to confidential treatment. If a Furnishing Entity succeeds in obtaining a protective order or other remedy, you agree to comply with its terms with respect to the disclosure of the Confidential Information, at the sole expense of such Furnishing Entity. If a protective order or other remedy is not obtained or if the relevant Furnishing Entity waives compliance with the provisions of this Confidentiality Agreement in writing, you agree to furnish only such information as you are legally required to disclose, at the sole expense of the relevant Furnishing Entity.

 

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

 

    Exhibit P-2-3

     

    
Violations of this Confidentiality Agreement.

 

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

 

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

 

You acknowledge and agree that the Furnishing Entities would not have an adequate remedy at law and would be irreparably harmed in the event that any of the provisions of this Confidentiality Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that each Furnishing Entity shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive relief to prevent breaches of this Confidentiality Agreement and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which a Furnishing Entity may be entitled at law or in equity. It is further understood and agreed that no failure to or delay in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 ____________________

 

Reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement described above. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

    Exhibit U-1

     

    
 

As Master Servicer
under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, we hereby:

 

(a)  Notify you that the Mortgagor has consummated a defeasance of the
Mortgage Loan pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan, of the type checked below:

 

____   
a full defeasance of the entire principal balance of the Mortgage Loan; or

 

____    a partial defeasance of a portion
of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan that represents and, an allocated loan amount of $____________ or _______% of the
entire principal balance of the Mortgage Loan;

 

(b)      Certify that each of the following is true, subject to those exceptions set forth with explanatory notes on Exhibit A hereto, which exceptions the Master Servicer has determined, consistent with the Servicing Standards, will have no material adverse effect on the Mortgage Loan or the defeasance transaction:

 

(i)      The Mortgage Loan documents permit the defeasance, and the terms and conditions for defeasance specified therein were satisfied in all material respects in completing the defeasance.

 

(ii)      The defeasance was consummated on __________, 20__.

 

(iii)     The defeasance collateral consists of securities that (i) constitute “government securities” as defined in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 as amended (15 U.S.C. 80A1), (ii) are listed as “Qualified Investments for ‘AAA’ Financings” under Paragraphs 1, 2 or 3 of “Cash Flow Approach” in Standard & Poor’s Public Finance Criteria 2000, as amended to the date of the defeasance, (iii) if they include a principal obligation, the principal due at maturity cannot vary or change, and (iv) are not subject to prepayment, call or early redemption.

 

(iv)      The Master Servicer received an opinion of counsel (from counsel approved by the Master Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard) that the defeasance will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event.

 

(v)      The Master Servicer determined that the defeasance collateral will be owned by an entity (the “Defeasance Obligor”) that is a Single-Purpose Entity (as defined in Standard & Poor’s Structured Finance Ratings Real Estate Finance Criteria, as amended to the date of the defeasance (the “S&P Criteria”)) or is subject to restrictions in its organizational documents substantially similar to those contained in the organization documents of the original Borrower with respect to bankruptcy remoteness and single purpose as of the date of the defeasance, and after the defeasance owns no assets other than the defeasance collateral and real property securing Mortgage Loans included in the pool.

 

(vi)    The defeasance documents require the crediting of the defeasance collateral to an Eligible Account (as defined in the S&P Criteria) in the name of the Trustee on behalf of the Trust, which account is maintained as a securities account by a securities intermediary and has been pledged to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust.

 

    Exhibit U-2

     

    
(vii)
  The agreements executed in connection with the defeasance (i) grant control of the pledged securities account to
Trustee on behalf of the Trust, (ii) 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”), (iii) permit reinvestment of proceeds of the
defeasance collateral only in Permitted Investments (as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or as defined in the
documents evidencing the defeasance), (iv) permit release of surplus defeasance collateral and earnings on reinvestment from
the pledged securities account only after the Mortgage Loan has been paid in full, if any such release is permitted, (v)
prohibit transfers by the Defeasance Obligor of the defeasance collateral and subordinate liens against the defeasance
collateral, and (vi) provide for payment from sources other than the defeasance collateral or other assets of the Defeasance
Obligor of all fees and expenses of the securities intermediary for administering the defeasance and the securities account
and all fees and expenses of maintaining the existence of the Defeasance Obligor.

 

(viii)   The Master Servicer received 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 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 Maturity Date (or, in the case of an ARD Loan, on its Anticipated Repayment Date), (ii) the revenues received in any month from the defeasance collateral will be applied to make Scheduled Payments within four (4) months after the date of receipt, and (iii) interest income from the defeasance collateral to the Defeasance Obligor in any calendar or fiscal year will not exceed such Defeasance Obligor’s interest expense for the Mortgage Loan (or the allocated portion thereof in a partial defeasance) for such year.

 

(ix)     The Mortgage Loan is not among the ten (10) largest loans in the pool as of the date of the Current Report (as defined below). The entire principal balance of the Mortgage Loan as of the date of defeasance was less than both $[______] and five percent of pool balance, which is less than [__]% of the aggregate Certificate Balance of the Certificates as of the date of the most recent Distribution Date Statement received by us (the “Current Report”).

 

(x)     The Master Servicer has received opinions of counsel stating that the Trustee on behalf of the Trust possesses a valid, perfected first priority security interest in the defeasance collateral and that the documents executed in connection with the defeasance are enforceable in accordance with their respective terms.

 

    Exhibit U-3

     

    
(c)        Certify that Exhibit B hereto is a list of the material agreements, instruments, organizational documents for the Defeasance Obligor, and opinions of counsel and independent accountants executed and delivered in connection with the defeasance.

 

(d)       Certify that the individual under whose hand the Master Servicer has caused this Notice and Certification to be executed did constitute a Servicing Officer as of the date of the defeasance described above.

 

(e)        Agree to provide copies of all items listed in Exhibit B to you upon request.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Master Servicer has caused this Notice and Certification to be executed as of the date captioned above.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

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

 

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

 

[Midland/LNR] will provide the Company with certain confidential, non-public servicing information (the “Confidential Information”) pertaining to the Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgaged Properties and borrowers. The Company acknowledges that the Confidential Information (a) includes or may be based upon information provided to [Midland/LNR] by third parties, (b) may not have been verified by [Midland/LNR], and (c) may be incomplete or contain inaccuracies. The Company agrees that [Midland/LNR], the [“Master Servicer”/”Special Servicer”] (as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and its respective Representatives (as defined below) shall not have any liability to the Company or its

Representatives resulting from (x) any inaccuracies or omissions in the Confidential Information, (y) any use of the Confidential Information, or (z) [Midland/LNR]’s failure or inability to provide the Confidential Information to the Company for any reason. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following will not constitute “Confidential Information“ for purposes of this letter agreement: (a) information that was already in Company’s possession prior to its receipt from [Midland/LNR]; (b) information that is obtained by Company from a third person who, insofar as is known to Company, is not prohibited from transmitting the information to Company by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation to [Midland/LNR]; (c) information that is or becomes publicly available through no fault of Company; and (d) information that is independently developed by Company. The term “Representatives” with respect to any entity shall mean the officers, directors, general partners, employees, agents, affiliates, auditors and legal counsel (which may be internal counsel) of that entity.

 

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

ASSET REVIEW PROCEDURES 

 

Pursuant
to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the “PSA”), the
Asset Representations Reviewer (“Asset Representations Reviewer”) shall perform an Asset Review with respect
to each representation and warranty made by the related Mortgage Loan Seller only with respect to each Delinquent Loan in accordance
with the procedures set forth below (each such procedure, a “Test”); provided, however, the Asset
Representations Reviewer may, but is under no obligation to, modify any Test and/or associated Review Materials described in this
Exhibit QQ if, and only to the extent, the Asset Representations Reviewer determines pursuant to the Asset Review Standard
that it is necessary to modify such Test and/or such associated Review Materials in order to facilitate its Asset Review in accordance
with the Asset Review Standard. Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein have the meaning set forth in the PSA or,
solely with respect to a representation and warranty, the meaning set forth in the related mortgage loan purchase agreement (the
“Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement”). For the avoidance of doubt, in connection with the performance of the following
Tests:

 

	(A)	With respect to any representation and warranty
that includes a knowledge qualifier (e.g., to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, etc.), the Asset Representations
Reviewer shall not be responsible for any investigation or review beyond that set forth in the applicable Test related to such
representation and warranty;

 

	(B)	With respect to any representation and warranty
that includes the examination of an insurance policy or Title Policy, the Asset Representations Reviewer will be permitted to engage
a qualified consultant to perform a review of the applicable policy, and will be allowed to rely upon the conclusions of the consultant
when making a determination as to whether there is a Test pass.

 

	(C)	The Asset Representations Reviewer shall be under no duty to provide
or obtain a legal opinion, legal review or legal conclusion;

 

	(D)	Unless otherwise provided in the Test, the “as
of” date for the testing of a representation is as of the Closing Date;

 

	(E)	Unless otherwise provided in the Test, if there
is more than one version of the same document with respect to a particular Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged Property, the document that
will be used by the Asset Representations Reviewer in testing is the document that is dated as of the Closing Date or, if none,
the document closest prior to the Closing Date;

 

	(F)	With respect to each representation and warranty
and its related Test(s), the Asset Representations Reviewer shall take into account any exceptions to such representation and warranty
described in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement with respect to a Mortgage Loan, and a Test pass shall be deemed to have occurred
with respect to such Test if the sole reason for not satisfying the applicable Test is caused by such exception(s);

 

	(G)	Evidence of a failure of a Test
could result from (i) an affirmative determination by the Asset Representations Reviewer that the Test failed to achieve a Test
pass, or (ii) a determination by 

 

    QQ-1 

     

    

 

Asset Representations Reviewer
that the documentation included in the Review Materials (after making such request for any missing documents in the manner provided
for in the PSA) is not sufficient to perform the Test; and

 

	(H)	A determination by the Asset Representations Reviewer of a Test pass or a Test failure shall
not constitute a determination by the Asset Representations Reviewer of (i) the existence or nonexistence of a Material Defect,
or (ii) whether the Trust should enforce any rights it may have against the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller.

 

The Asset Representations Reviewer will only
be required to perform the Tests described in this Exhibit QQ, and will not be obligated to perform additional procedures
on any Delinquent Loan, even if a different set of procedures or Review Materials could produce a different outcome. Notwithstanding
the required Tests, the Asset Representations Reviewer will not be required to review any information other than (1) Review
Materials specified in the related Test and (2) if applicable, Unsolicited Information. The Asset Representations Reviewer
may, but is under no obligation to, consider Unsolicited Information relevant to the Tests subject to the terms of the PSA. If
the Asset Representations Reviewer considers Unsolicited Information, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall take into account
such Unsolicited Information, in addition to the Review Materials referred to in the applicable Test(s) procedure when making a
determination as to whether there is a Test pass.

    Whole Loan; Ownership of Mortgage Loans. Except with respect to a Mortgage Loan which is part of a Whole Loan, each
    Mortgage Loan is a whole loan and not a participation interest in a Mortgage Loan. At the time of the sale, transfer and assignment
    to Purchaser, no Mortgage Note or Mortgage was subject to any assignment (other than assignments to Seller, or (with respect
    to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) to the trustee for the related Non-Serviced Securitization Trust), participation (it being
    understood that a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan does not constitute a participation) or pledge, and Seller had
    good title to, and was the sole owner of, each Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, charges, pledges, encumbrances,
    participations (provided in each case a Mortgage Loan may be subject to an agreement among noteholders, co-lender agreement
    or mezzanine intercreditor agreement), any other ownership interests on, in or to such Mortgage Loan other than any servicing
    rights appointment or similar agreement. Seller has full right and authority to sell, assign and transfer each Mortgage Loan,
    and the assignment to Purchaser constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment of such Mortgage Loan free and clear of
    any and all liens, pledges, charges or security interests of any nature encumbering such Mortgage Loan.	1a	Review

    Such Mortgaged Property (subject to and excepting Permitted Encumbrances and the Title Exceptions) as of origination was,
    and as of the Cut-off Date, to Seller’s knowledge, is free and clear of any recorded mechanics’ liens, recorded
    materialmen’s liens and other recorded encumbrances which are prior to or equal with the lien of the related Mortgage
    (which lien secures the related Whole Loan, in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan) except those which

    Seller’s knowledge and subject to the rights of tenants (as tenants only) (subject to and excepting Permitted Encumbrances
    and the Title Exceptions), no rights exist which under law could give rise to any such lien or encumbrance that would be prior

        The
        Mortgaged Property is covered, and required to be covered pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan documents, by a commercial
        general liability insurance policy issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements including coverage for
        property damage, contractual damage and personal injury (including bodily injury and death) in amounts as are generally
        required by Seller for loans originated for securitization, and in any event not less than $1 million per occurrence and
        $2 million in the aggregate.

          

        An
        architectural or engineering consultant has performed an analysis of each of the Mortgaged Properties located in seismic
        zones 3 or 4 in order to evaluate the structural and seismic condition of such property, for the sole purpose of assessing
        the scenario expected limit (“SEL”) for the Mortgaged Property in the event of an earthquake. In such
        instance, the SEL was based on a 475-year return period, an exposure period of 50 years and a 10% probability of exceedance.
        If the resulting report concluded that the SEL would exceed 20% of the amount of the replacement costs of the improvements,
        earthquake insurance on such Mortgaged Property was obtained by an insurer rated at least “A:VIII” by A.M.
        Best Company or “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s or “A-” by S&P in an amount not
        less than 100% of the SEL.

          

        The
        Mortgage Loan documents require insurance proceeds (or an amount equal to such insurance proceeds) in respect of a property
        loss to be applied either (a) to the repair or

        applicable Non-Serviced Trustee). Each related Mortgage Loan obligates the related Mortgagor to maintain all such insurance
        and, at such Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the lender to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s
        cost and expense and to charge such Mortgagor for related premiums. All such insurance policies (other than commercial
        liability policies) require at least 10 days’ prior notice to the lender of termination or cancellation arising
        because of nonpayment of a premium and at least 30 days prior notice to the lender of termination or cancellation (or

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

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

 

1.          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.

 

2.          The
Transferee understands that (a) the Excess Servicing Fee Right has not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act
or registered or qualified under any applicable state securities laws, (b) none of the Depositor, the Trustee, Certificate Administrator
or the Certificate Registrar is obligated so to register or qualify the Excess Servicing Fee Right, and (c) the Excess Servicing
Fee Right may not be resold or transferred unless it is (i) registered pursuant to the Securities Act and registered or qualified

as Exhibit TT-1 to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and (B) each of the Master Servicer and the Depositor have received
a certificate from the prospective transferee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit TT-2 to the Pooling and Servicing

    Exhibit TT-2-1

     

    

 

3.          The
Transferee understands that it may not sell or otherwise transfer the Excess Servicing Fee Right or any interest therein except
in compliance with the provisions of Section 3.11 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, which provisions it has carefully reviewed.

 

4.          Neither
the Transferee nor anyone acting on its behalf has (a) offered, pledged, sold, disposed of or otherwise transferred the Excess
Servicing Fee Right, any interest in the Excess Servicing Fee Right or any other similar security to any person in any manner,
(b) solicited any offer to buy or accept a pledge, disposition or other transfer of the Excess Servicing Fee Right, any interest
in the Excess Servicing Fee Right or any other similar security from any person in any manner, (c) otherwise approached or negotiated

any person in any manner, (d) made any general solicitation with respect to the Excess Servicing Fee Right, any interest in the
Excess Servicing Fee Right or any other similar security by means of general advertising or in any other manner, or (e) taken any
other action with respect to the Excess Servicing Fee Right, any interest in the Excess Servicing Fee Right or any other similar
security, which (in the case of any of the acts described in clauses (a) through (e) above) would constitute a distribution of
the Excess Servicing Fee Right under the Securities Act, would render the disposition of the Excess Servicing Fee Right a violation
of Section 5 of the Securities Act or any state securities law or would require registration or qualification of the Excess Servicing
Fee Right pursuant thereto. The Transferee will not act, nor has it authorized or will it authorize any person to act, in any manner
set forth in the foregoing sentence with respect to the Excess Servicing Fee Right, any interest in the Excess Servicing Fee Right
or any other similar security.

 

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

 

6.          The
Transferee is (a) a “qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act or (b)
an “accredited investor” as defined in any of paragraphs (1), (2), (3) and (7) of Rule 501(a) under the Securities
Act or an entity in which all of the equity owners come within such paragraphs. The Transferee has such knowledge and experience
in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Excess Servicing
Fee Right; the Transferee has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment
decision; and the Transferee is able to bear the economic risks of such investment and can afford a complete loss of such investment.

 

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

8.          The
Transferee acknowledges that the holder of the Excess Servicing Fee Right shall not have any rights under the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement except as set forth in Section 3.11 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and that the Excess Servicing Fee Rate may

			DESCRIPTION OF THE REGISTRANT’S SECURITIES 
		

		
			REGISTERED PURSUANT TO SECTION 12 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 
		

		
			As of December 31, 2019, Clovis Oncology, Inc. had one class of securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended: common stock, $0.001 par value per share.
		

		
			The following summary describes our common stock and preferred stock and the material provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws and certain provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law. Because the following is only a summary, it does not contain all of the information that may be important to you. For a complete description, you should refer to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws, copies of which are on file with the SEC and included as exhibits to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this exhibit to “Clovis,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Clovis Oncology, Inc. together with its consolidated subsidiaries. 
		

		
			Common Stock 
		

		
			The holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders and are not entitled to cumulative votes with respect to the election of directors. The holders of common stock are entitled to receive dividends ratably, if, as and when dividends are declared from time to time by our board of directors out of legally available funds, after payment of dividends required to be paid on outstanding preferred stock, if any. Any decision to declare and pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on, among other things, our results of operations, cash requirements, financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant. Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets that are legally available for distribution after payment of all debts and other liabilities, subject to the prior rights of any holders of preferred stock then outstanding. The holders of common stock have no other preemptive, subscription, redemption, sinking fund or conversion rights. All outstanding shares of our common stock are fully paid and nonassessable. The shares of common stock to be issued upon closing of an offering will also be fully paid and nonassessable. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of common stock are subject to, and may be negatively impacted by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock which we may designate and issue in the future. 
		

		
			Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation authorizes us to issue up to 200 million shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share. As of December 31, 2019, 54,956,341 shares of our common stock were outstanding. 
		

		
			As of December 31, 2019, options to purchase 6,287,025 shares of our common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $42.24 per share were outstanding. 
		

		
			As of December 31, 2019, 2,171,347 shares of our common stock were issuable upon the vesting of restricted stock units outstanding. 
		

		
			As of December 31, 2019, 1,570,713 shares were issuable upon conversion of our 2.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2021, 3,938,340 shares were issuable upon the conversion of our 1.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 and 19,054,275 shares were issuable upon the conversion of our 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024 after giving effect to the repurchases that were announced on January 8, 2020 and certain other conversions of such notes during the period from January 1, 2020 to February 21, 2020. 
		

		
			Transfer Agent and Registrar 
		

		
			Our transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company. 
		

		
			

		 

		

		
			Listing 
		

		
			Our common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “CLVS.” 
		

		
			Preferred Stock 
		

		
			Under our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, our board of directors has the authority, without action by our stockholders, to designate and issue up to 10 million shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, in one or more series and to designate the rights, preferences and privileges of each series, any or all of which may be greater than the rights of our common stock. It is not possible to state the actual effect of the issuance of any shares of preferred stock upon the rights of holders of our common stock until our board of directors determines the specific rights of the holders of preferred stock. However, the effects might include, among other things, restricting dividends on the common stock, diluting the voting power of the common stock, impairing the liquidation rights of the common stock and delaying or preventing a change in control of our common stock without further action by our stockholders and may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. As of December 31, 2019, no shares of our preferred stock were outstanding. 
		

		
			Registration Rights 
		

		
			No holders of our securities are entitled to rights with respect to the registration of their securities under the Securities Act. 
		

		
			Anti-Takeover Provisions of Delaware Law 
		

		
			We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination with an interested stockholder for a period of three years following the date the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination or the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder is approved in a prescribed manner. Generally, a business combination includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. Generally, an interested stockholder is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns or, in the case of affiliates or associates of the corporation, within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status, owned 15% or more of a corporation’s voting stock. The existence of this provision could have anti-takeover effects with respect to transactions not approved in advance by our board of directors, such as discouraging takeover attempts that might result in a premium over the market price of our common stock. The foregoing provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law may have the effect of deterring or discouraging hostile takeovers or delaying changes in control of our company. 
		

		
			Charter and Bylaws Anti-Takeover Provisions 
		

		
			Classified Board of Directors 
		

		
			Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that our board of directors is divided into three classes of directors, with the number of directors in each class to be as nearly equal as possible. Our classified board of directors stagger terms of the three classes and has been implemented through one, two and three-year terms for the initial three classes, followed in each case by full three-year terms. With a classified board of directors, only one-third of the members of our board of directors is elected each year. This classification of directors has the effect of making it more difficult for stockholders to change the composition of our board of directors. 
		

		
			Size of Board of Directors and Removal of Directors 
		

		
			Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws provide that: 
		

		
			•the number of directors will be fixed from time to time exclusively pursuant to a resolution adopted by our board of directors, but must consist of not less than three directors, which will prevent stockholders from circumventing the provisions of our classified board of directors; 
		

		
			•directors may be removed only for cause; and 
		

		
			

		 

		

		
			•vacancies on our board of directors may be filled only by a majority of directors then in office, even though less than a quorum, or by the sole remaining director, at any meeting of the board of directors. 
		

		
			Authorized Preferred Stock 
		

		
			Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides for the issuance by our board of directors, without stockholder approval, of shares of preferred stock, with voting power, designations, preferences and other special rights as may be determined in the discretion of our board of directors. The issuance of preferred stock could decrease the amount of earnings and assets available for distribution to the holders of common stock or could adversely affect the rights and powers, including voting rights, of holders of common stock. In certain circumstances, such issuance could have the effect of decreasing the market price of the common stock. Preferred stockholders could also make it more difficult for a third party to acquire our company. 
		

		
			No Stockholder Action by Written Consent 
		

		
			Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws require that any action required or permitted to be taken by our stockholders must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders and may not be effected by a consent in writing. 
		

		
			Calling of Special Meetings of Stockholders 
		

		
			Our amended and restated bylaws provide that special stockholder meetings for any purpose may only be called by a majority of our board of directors, our chairman or our chief executive officer. 
		

		
			Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals and Director Nominations 
		

		
			Our amended and restated bylaws establish an advance notice procedure for stockholder proposals to be brought before an annual meeting of stockholders, including proposed nominations of candidates for election to the board of directors. Stockholders at an annual meeting may only consider proposals or nominations specified in the notice of meeting or brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the board of directors, or by a stockholder of record on the record date for the meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has delivered timely written notice in proper form to our secretary of the stockholder’s intention to bring such business before the meeting. These provisions could have the effect of delaying until the next stockholder meeting stockholder actions that are favored by the holders of a majority of our outstanding voting stock. These provisions also could discourage a third party from making a tender offer for our common stock, because even if it acquired a majority of our outstanding voting stock, it would be able to take action as a stockholder, such as electing new directors or approving a merger, only at a duly called stockholders meeting and not by written consent. 
		

		
			Exclusive Forum Charter Provision 
		

		
			Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers, employees or agents to us or our stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or our certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine, in each such case subject to said Court of Chancery having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants therein. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of our capital stock shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to this provision of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation. 
		

		
			The exclusive forum provision does not apply to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. We note, however, that federal courts have concurrent jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act. We note that there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce this provision and that investors 

		 

cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. Although we believe this provision benefits us by providing increased consistency in the application of Delaware law in the types of lawsuits to which it applies, this provision may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against our directors and officers. 
		

		
			 
		

		
			Indemnification of Directors and Officers 
		

		
			Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws provide that we will, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware corporate law, subject to certain limitations, indemnify any person made or threatened to be made a party to a proceeding by reason of that person’s former or present official capacity with us against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses. Any such person is also entitled, subject to certain limitations, to payment or reimbursement of reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements and court costs) in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding. 
		

		
			The provision regarding indemnification of our directors and officers in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will generally not limit liability under state or federal securities laws. 
		

		
			We maintain a directors’ and officers’ insurance policy pursuant to which our directors and officers are insured against liability for actions taken in their capacities as directors and officers. We believe that these indemnification provisions and insurance are useful to attract and retain qualified directors and officers. 
		

		
			In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and named executive officers, which also provide, subject to certain exceptions, for indemnification for related expenses, including, among others, reasonable attorney’s fees, judgments, fines and settlements incurred in any action or proceeding. Your investment may be adversely affected to the extent that, in a class action or direct suit, we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions. 
		

		
			Insofar as the foregoing provisions permit indemnification of directors, officers or persons controlling us for liability arising under the Securities Act, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC, this indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
