This Pooling and Servicing Agreement is dated and effective as of February 1, 2020, among Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as General Master Servicer, KeyBank National Association, as General Special Servicer, National Cooperative Bank, N.A., as NCB Master Servicer and as NCB Special Servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee, and Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor and as 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 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 and the RR Interest 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 and the holders of the RR Interest will be the beneficial owners of the Class V Specific Grantor Trust Assets and the RR Interest Specific Grantor Trust Assets, respectively, under Section 671 of the Code (such a trust, a “Grantor Trust”). As provided herein, the Certificate Administrator shall take all actions expressly required hereunder to ensure that the portion of the Trust Fund consisting of the Grantor Trust maintains its status as a grantor trust under federal income tax law and will not be treated as part of either Trust REMIC.

 

The REMIC structure set forth in this Preliminary Statement is intended to cause all of the cash flow from the Mortgage Loans to flow through to the Upper-Tier REMIC as cash flow on REMIC regular interests, without creating any shortfall, actual or potential (other than for credit losses), to any REMIC regular interest issued hereunder. To the extent that any party hereto believes the structure to diverge from such intention (without implying any duty of any such party to identify any such ambiguity), the party or parties identifying the subject defect or ambiguity in this Agreement shall notify the other parties hereto, whereupon the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator and the Tax Administrator shall use commercially reasonable efforts to rectify or resolve the subject defect or ambiguity to accomplish the intended result without Certificateholder approval (but with guidance of counsel), including, to the extent necessary, making any amendments in accordance with Section 13.01(a) of this Agreement, but subject to any conditions in Section 13.01. The other parties hereto agree to reasonably cooperate with the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator and the Tax Administrator in connection with any amendment to this Agreement in furtherance of the foregoing.

 

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

For the avoidance of doubt, Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts shall constitute Nonrecoverable Advances only when the Person making such determination in accordance with the procedures specified herein, and taking into account factors such as all other outstanding Advances, either (a) has determined that such Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts, would not ultimately be recoverable from Late Collections, Default Interest, Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds or any other recovery on or in respect of such Mortgage Loan or the related REO Property (without giving effect to potential recoveries on deficiency judgments or recoveries from guarantors), or (b) has determined that such Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount, along with any other Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts (that have not been reimbursed to the party that made such Advance) or unreimbursed Nonrecoverable Advances, would not be ultimately recoverable from the principal portion of future general collections on the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties.

the applicable Master Servicer (and with respect to a Serviced Mortgage Loan, to any Other Servicer, and with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer and Non-Serviced Special Servicer), the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor and the 17g-5 Information Provider notice of such determination. Any such determination (other than by the applicable Special Servicer) shall not be binding upon (but may be conclusively relied upon by) the applicable Master Servicer and the Trustee, and any such determination by the applicable Special Servicer shall be conclusive and binding upon the applicable Master Servicer and the Trustee (but this statement shall not be construed to entitle the applicable Special Servicer to reverse the determination of the applicable Master Servicer or the Trustee or to prohibit the applicable Master Servicer or the Trustee from making a determination that a P&I Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance), provided, however, that such 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 such Special Servicer that such P&I Advance is or would be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, such decision shall remain with the applicable Master Servicer or Trustee, as applicable. If a 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, the applicable 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, Non-Serviced Trustee 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 applicable Master Servicer and 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 Mortgage Loan, if the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable 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, Non-Serviced Special Servicer and related Non-Serviced Trustee as it relates to any proposed P&I Advance with respect to the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan (unless the related Non-Serviced PSA provides otherwise). In making such recoverability determination, the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer or the 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 applicable Master Servicer or the applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer and the applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee, solely in its capacity as Trustee)

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 a 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 applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer’s, the applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer, the applicable 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 applicable Special Servicer or the applicable Master Servicer to the other and to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Certificateholder (but, in the case of the Directing Certificateholder, only prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event and only with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan as to such party) (and in the case of a Serviced Mortgage Loan, any Other Servicer), the Operating Advisor (but only in the case of a Special Servicer) and the Depositor, or by the Trustee to the Depositor, the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Certificate Administrator (and, in the case of the Serviced Mortgage Loan, any Other Servicer). The Officer’s Certificate shall set forth such determination of nonrecoverability and the considerations of the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable 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 (or, with respect to the residential cooperative properties, maintenance schedules), occupancy status, property inspections and any other information used by such Master Servicer, such 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 applicable Master Servicer’s or the applicable Special Servicer’s determination that a P&I Advance is or would be nonrecoverable, and each Master Servicer and the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on and shall be bound by the applicable Special Servicer’s determination that a P&I Advance is or would be nonrecoverable.

“Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance”: Any Servicing Advance previously made or proposed to be made in respect of a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), Serviced Whole Loan or REO Property which the Trustee determines in its good faith business judgement or the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard 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 applicable Master Servicer or the applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer or the applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer or the applicable 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 which, at the time of such consideration, the recovery of which are being deferred or delayed by the applicable 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 a 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 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 applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer’s, the applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer, the applicable 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 the applicable Special Servicer or the applicable Master Servicer to the other and to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Certificateholder (but, in the case of the Directing Certificateholder, only prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event and only with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan as to such party) (and in the case of a Serviced Mortgage Loan, any Other Servicer), the Operating Advisor (but only in the case of a Special Servicer) and the Depositor, or by the Trustee to the Depositor, the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Certificate Administrator (and in the case of a Serviced Mortgage Loan, any Other Servicer); provided, however, that the applicable Special Servicer may, at its option, make a determination in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that any Servicing Advance previously made or proposed to be made is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance and shall deliver to the applicable Master Servicer (and with respect to a Serviced Mortgage Loan, to any Other Servicer), the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor and the 17g-5 Information Provider notice of such determination. Any such determination (other than by the applicable Special Servicer) shall not be binding upon (but may be conclusively relied upon by) the applicable Master Servicer and the Trustee, and any such determination by the applicable Special Servicer shall be binding upon the applicable Master Servicer and the Trustee (but this statement shall not be construed to entitle the applicable Special Servicer to reverse the determination of the applicable Master Servicer or the Trustee or to prohibit the applicable Master Servicer or the Trustee from making a determination that a Servicing Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance), provided, however, that the applicable 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 applicable Special Servicer that such Servicing Advance is or would be a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, such decision shall remain with the applicable Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable. If the applicable 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 applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer, the applicable 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 (or, with respect to residential cooperative properties, maintenance schedules), occupancy status, property inspections and any other information used by such Master Servicer, such 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 applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer’s or the applicable Special Servicer’s determination that a Servicing Advance is or would be nonrecoverable, and the applicable Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the applicable Special Servicer’s determination that a Servicing Advance is or would be nonrecoverable.

Special Servicer requests that the applicable Master Servicer make a Servicing Advance, such Master Servicer may conclusively rely on such request as evidence that such advance is not a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance; provided, however, that such Special Servicer shall not be entitled to make such a request more frequently than once per calendar month with respect to Servicing Advances other than emergency advances (although such request may relate to more than one Servicing Advance). 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.

(iv)       Unless otherwise specifically provided for herein, all net present value calculations and determinations made with respect to a Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan, Mortgaged Property or REO Property (including for purposes of the definition of “Servicing Standard”) shall be made, in the event the Mortgage Loan documents are silent, using a discount rate (a) for principal and interest payments on a Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable, or sale by the applicable Special Servicer of a Defaulted Loan, the highest of (x) the rate determined by the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as applicable, that approximates the market rate that would be obtainable by the related Mortgagor on similar non-defaulted debt of such Mortgagor as of such date of determination, (y) the Mortgage Rate on the applicable Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan based on its outstanding principal balance and (z) the yield on 10-year U.S. treasuries as of such date of determination, and (b) for all other cash flows, including property cash flow, the “discount rate” set forth in the most recent Appraisal (or update of such Appraisal) of the related Mortgaged Property.

(b)        In connection with the Depositor’s assignment pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Depositor shall direct, and hereby represents and warrants that it has directed, the Mortgage Loan Sellers pursuant to the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to deliver and deposit with, or cause to be delivered to and deposited with, the Custodian, (A) on or before the Closing Date, the Mortgage Note relating to each Mortgage Loan so assigned, endorsed to the Trustee or in blank as specified in clause (i) of the definition of “Mortgage File” (or, alternatively, if the original executed Mortgage Note has been lost, a lost note affidavit and indemnity with a copy of such Mortgage Note as specified in clause (i) of the definition of “Mortgage File”) and (B) on or before the date that is 45 days following the Closing Date, the remainder of the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan (together with the related Mortgage Loan Checklist) and, except in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Serviced Whole Loan as of the Closing Date, any other items required to be delivered or deposited by the Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to this Agreement (other than amounts from reserve accounts and originals of letters of credit, which shall be transferred to the applicable Master Servicer) for each Mortgage Loan. If the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller cannot deliver, or cause to be delivered, as to any Mortgage Loan, the original Mortgage Note, the delivery requirements of the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Section 2.01(b) shall be deemed to have been satisfied upon such Mortgage Loan Seller’s delivery of a copy or duplicate original of such Mortgage Note, together with an affidavit certifying that the original thereof has been lost or destroyed and indemnifying the Trustee and the Trust. If the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller cannot deliver, or cause to be delivered, as to any Mortgage Loan, any of the documents and/or instruments referred to in clauses (ii), (iv), (vii) and (ix) of the definition of “Mortgage File” (or, if applicable, a copy thereof) with evidence of filing or recording thereon (if intended to be recorded or filed), solely because of a delay caused by the public filing or recording office where such document or instrument has been delivered, or will be delivered within 10 Business Days of the Closing Date, for filing or recordation, the delivery requirements of the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Section 2.01(b) shall be deemed to have been satisfied on a provisional basis as of the Closing Date as to such non-delivered document or instrument, and such non-delivered document or instrument shall be deemed to have been included in the Mortgage File, if a duplicate original or a photocopy of such non-delivered document or instrument (certified by the applicable public filing or recording office, the applicable title insurance company or the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller to be a true and complete copy of the original thereof submitted or to be submitted for filing or recording) is delivered to the Custodian

    -141- 

     

    
on or before the date set forth herein, and either the original of such non-delivered document or instrument, or a photocopy thereof (certified by the appropriate county recorder’s office or the applicable title insurance company, in the case of the documents and/or instruments referred to in clause (ii) of the definition of “Mortgage File”, to be a true and complete copy of the original thereof submitted for recording), with evidence of filing or recording thereon, is delivered to the Custodian within one hundred-eighty (180) days of the Closing Date (or within such longer period, not to exceed eighteen (18) months, after the Closing Date as the Custodian shall consent to as long as the 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 such original or photocopy). If the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller is required to, but cannot, deliver, or cause to be delivered, as to any Mortgage Loan, any of the documents and/or instruments referred to in clauses (ii), (iv), (vii), and (ix) (or, if applicable, a copy thereof) of the definition of “Mortgage File,” with evidence of filing or recording thereon (if intended to be recorded or filed), for any other reason, including, without limitation, that such non-delivered document or instrument has been lost or destroyed, the delivery requirements of the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Section 2.01(b) shall be deemed to have been satisfied as to such non-delivered document or instrument, and such non-delivered document or instrument shall be deemed to have been included in the Mortgage File, if a photocopy of such non-delivered document or instrument (with evidence of filing or recording thereon and certified in the case of the documents and/or instruments referred to in clause (ii) of the definition of “Mortgage File” by the appropriate county recorder’s office or the applicable title insurance company to be a true and complete copy of the original thereof submitted for recording) is delivered to the Custodian on or before the date set forth herein. 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 (iii), clause (v), or clause (x) 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 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 clause (e) and clause (f) of the first proviso to the definition of “Mortgage File” herein. As to any Mortgage Loan, the

    -142- 

     

    
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 (iii), clause (v), or clause (x) 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 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 applicable 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 the applicable Master Servicer on behalf of the Trust as required hereunder and shall cooperate with the reasonable requests of the applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer on behalf of the Trust. Regardless of the manner of delivery, the related Mortgage Loan Seller is required pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to indemnify the Trust for any liabilities, charges, costs, fees or other expenses accruing from the 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, the related Mortgage Loan Seller is required at its sole cost and expense, to itself, or to engage a third party to, put each Assignment of Mortgage, each assignment of Assignment of Leases and each assignment of each UCC Financing Statement (collectively, the “Assignments” and, individually, “Assignment”) relating to the Mortgage Loans conveyed by it under the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in proper form for filing or recording, as applicable, and to 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 Mortgage Loan Sellers 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). Except under the circumstances provided for in the last sentence of this Section 2.01(c) and except in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage Loan Seller will itself, or a third party at such Mortgage Loan Seller’s expense will, promptly (and in any event within one hundred-twenty (120) days after the later of the Closing Date and the related Mortgage Loan Seller’s actual receipt of the related

 

    -143- 

     

    
 

documents and the necessary recording and filing information) cause to be submitted for recording or filing, as the case may be, in the appropriate public office for real property records or UCC Financing Statements, as appropriate, each Assignment. Each such Assignment submitted for recording shall reflect that it (or a file copy thereof in the case of a UCC Assignment) 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 pay the expenses for the preparation of 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 foregoing, there shall be no requirement to record any assignment to the Trustee referred to in clause (iii) or (v) of the definition of “Mortgage File,” or to file any UCC-3 to the Trustee referred to in clause (ix) of the definition of “Mortgage File,” in those jurisdictions where, in the written opinion of local counsel (which opinion shall be an expense of the related Mortgage Loan Seller) acceptable to the Depositor and the Trustee, such recordation and/or filing is not required to protect the Trustee’s interest in the related Mortgage Loan against sale, further assignment, satisfaction or discharge by the related Mortgage Loan Seller, the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer, any Sub-Servicer or the Depositor.

 

(d)       All documents and records in the Depositor’s or the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s possession relating to the Mortgage Loans (including, in the case of such Mortgage Loan Seller, and except in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Non-Serviced Whole Loan, originals or copies of all financial statements, operating statements, appraisals,

environmental reports, engineering reports, Insurance Policies, certificates, guaranty/indemnity agreements, property inspection reports, escrow analysis, tax bills, third-party management agreements, asset summary and financial information on the borrower/sponsor and any guarantor, but in any case excluding the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s internal communications (including such communications between such Mortgage Loan Seller and its Affiliates) or underwriting analysis (including documents prepared by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller or any of its Affiliates for such purposes), draft documents or any documents or materials prepared by it or its Affiliates for internal uses, attorney-client communications that are privileged communications or constitute legal or other due diligence analyses or 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 Mortgage File and each Mortgage Loan Checklist, shall be delivered or otherwise made available by the Depositor or the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller to the applicable Master Servicer within five (5) Business Days after the Closing Date and shall be held by such 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. 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.

 

(e)        In connection with the Depositor’s assignment pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Depositor shall deliver to the Trustee and the applicable 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 (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) 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 applicable Master Servicer (or a Sub-Servicer) for deposit into Servicing Accounts.

 

(g)        With respect to the Mortgage Loans secured by the Mortgaged Properties identified as Mortgage Loan Numbers 10, 16, 20, 23, 25, 26, 48 and 51 on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, 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 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 applicable Master Servicer) within forty-five (45) days of the Closing Date (or any shorter period if required by the applicable comfort letter), and the applicable Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts in accordance with the Servicing Standard to acquire such replacement comfort letter, if necessary (or to

    -145- 

     

    
acquire any such new document or acknowledgement as may be contemplated under the existing comfort letter). If the applicable Master Servicer is unable to acquire any such replacement comfort letter (or new document or acknowledgement, as applicable) within 120 days of the Closing Date, such Master Servicer shall notify the related Mortgage Loan Seller that no such replacement comfort letter has been received.

 

(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 Files for each of its Mortgage Loans to the Depositor by uploading such Diligence Files to the Designated 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 the Depositor a certificate (with a copy (which may be sent by e-mail) to each of the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Certificateholder, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Operating Advisor and the Risk Retention Consultation Party) certifying that the electronic copies of the documents and information uploaded to the Designated Site constitute all documents and information 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 the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (the “Diligence File Certification”).

 

(i)         Within five (5) Business Days of the Closing Date, the Depositor shall deliver in EDGAR-Compatible Format and Excel format to each Master Servicer via email to ssreports@wellsfargo.com (in the case of the General Master Servicer) and investorreporting@ncb.coop (in the case of the NCB Master Servicer) the Initial Schedule AL File covering all of the Mortgage Loans (in the case of the General Master Servicer) or the NCB Mortgage Loans (in the case of the NCB Master Servicer), the Initial Schedule AL Additional File covering all of the Mortgage Loans (in the case of the General Master Servicer) or the NCB Mortgage Loans (in the case of the NCB Master Servicer) and the Annex A-1 to the Prospectus.

 

(j)         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.01 or in Section 2.02, in connection with each Servicing Shift Whole Loan, (1) instruments of assignment to the Trustee may be in blank and need not be recorded pursuant to this Agreement (other than the endorsements to the note(s) evidencing the related Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan) until the earlier of (i) the Servicing Shift Securitization Date, in which case such instruments shall be assigned and recorded in accordance with the related Non-Serviced PSA, and (ii) the Servicing Shift Whole Loan becoming a Specially Serviced Loan prior to the Servicing Shift Securitization Date, in which case assignments and recordations shall be effected in accordance with this Section 2.01 until the occurrence, if any, of the Servicing Shift Securitization Date, (2) no letter of credit need be amended (including, without limitation, to change the beneficiary thereon) until the earliest of (i) the Servicing Shift Securitization Date, in which case such amendment shall be in accordance with the related Non-Serviced PSA, (ii) the Servicing Shift Whole Loan becoming a Specially Serviced Loan prior to the Servicing Shift Securitization Date in which case such amendment shall be effected in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.01 and (iii) the earlier of (A) 180 days after the Closing Date and (B) any such time as any such letter of credit is required to be drawn upon by the Master Servicer in which case such amendment shall be effected in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.01, and

(b)        Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date (or with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan within sixty (60) days after the Due Date in the month of substitution), the Custodian shall review the Mortgage Loan documents delivered or caused to be delivered by the Mortgage Loan Sellers constituting the Mortgage Files; and, promptly following such review (but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the Closing Date), the Custodian shall, in the form attached as Exhibit Q, certify in writing to the Depositor, the Master Servicers, the Special Servicers, the Directing Certificateholder (so long as no Consultation Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing and only with respect to Mortgage Loans other than any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder), the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Operating Advisor and the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan paid in full)) that, except as specifically identified in any exception report annexed to such writing (the “Custodial Exception Report”), (i) subject to the first proviso of the definition of “Mortgage File” herein and Section 2.01, all documents specified in clauses (i) through (v), (viii), (ix), (xi), (xii) and (xiii), if any, of the definition of “Mortgage File”, as applicable, are in its possession, (ii) the foregoing documents delivered or caused to be delivered by the Mortgage Loan Sellers have been reviewed by the Custodian and appear regular on their face and appear to be executed and to relate to such Mortgage Loan, and (iii) based on such examination and only as to the foregoing documents, the information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule with respect to the items specified in clauses (iv), (vi) and (viii)(c) in the definition of “Mortgage Loan Schedule” is correct. With respect to each Mortgage Loan listed on the Custodial Exception Report, the Custodian shall specifically identify such Mortgage Loan together with the nature of such exception (in the form reasonably acceptable to the Custodian and the related Mortgage Loan Seller and separating items required to be in the Mortgage File but never delivered from items which were delivered by the related Mortgage Loan Seller but are out for filing or recording and have not been returned by the filing office or the recorder’s office).

 

(c)        The Custodian shall review the Mortgage Loan documents received subsequent to the Closing Date; and, on or about the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Custodian shall, in the form attached as Exhibit Q, certify in writing to each of the Depositor, the Master Servicers, the Special Servicers, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Certificateholder and the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (as to each Mortgage Loan listed on the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any related Mortgage Loan as to which a Liquidation Event has occurred) or any related Mortgage Loan specifically identified in any exception report annexed to such writing) that, (i) subject to the first proviso of the definition of “Mortgage File” herein and Section 2.01, all documents specified in clauses (i) through (v), (viii), (ix), (xi), (xii) and (xiii), if any, of the definition of “Mortgage File”, as applicable, are in its possession, (ii) the foregoing documents delivered or caused to be delivered by the Mortgage Loan Sellers have been reviewed by the Custodian and appear regular on their face and appear to be executed and relate to such Mortgage Loan, if applicable, and (iii) based on such examination and only as to the foregoing documents, the information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule with respect to the items specified in clauses (iv), (vi) and (viii)(c) in the definition of “Mortgage Loan Schedule” is correct.

 

(d)       Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 2.02 and Section 2.03(b) to the contrary, in the case of a Material Defect in any of the documents

    -148- 

     

    
specified in clauses (ii) through (v), (vii), (viii) and (ix) in the definition of “Mortgage File”, which Material Defect results solely from a delay in the return of the related documents from the applicable filing or recording office and gives rise to a repurchase or substitution obligation on the part of the related Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to the subject Mortgage Loan pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Directing Certificateholder, in its sole judgment, may (other than with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder and, with respect to any other Mortgage Loan, only prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event), and the applicable Special Servicer may, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, permit the related Mortgage Loan Seller in lieu of repurchasing or substituting for the related Mortgage Loan, to deposit with the applicable Master Servicer an amount, to be held in trust in a segregated Eligible Account (which may be a sub-account of the related Collection Account), equal to 25% of the Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan (in the alternative, the related Mortgage Loan Seller may deliver to the applicable Master Servicer a letter of credit in such amount, with a copy to the Custodian). Such funds or letter of credit, as applicable, shall be held by the applicable Master Servicer (i) until the date on which the Custodian determines and notifies such 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 such 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 applicable Master Servicer or the applicable 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 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, however, 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 applicable Master Servicer in accordance with this Section 2.02(d), such Master Servicer shall, to the extent necessary, draw on the letter of credit and deposit the proceeds of such draw, into its 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 Accounts shall be invested in Permitted Investments, at the direction and for the benefit of the related Mortgage Loan Seller.

 

    -149- 

     

    
 

 

 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 (vi), (vii) and (xii) through (xviii) of the definition of “Mortgage File” exist or are required to be delivered by the Depositor, the Mortgage Loan Sellers or any other Person (unless identified on the Mortgage Loan Checklist) 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 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 and required to be delivered or caused to be delivered by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (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 applicable Master Servicer, the applicable 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

    -150- 

     

    
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 a Master Servicer or a 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”) (such Master Servicer or such 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 applicable Master Servicer or the applicable 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 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, either 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 applicable Master Servicer, if relating

 

    -151- 

     

    
 

to a Non-Specially Serviced Loan, or to the applicable 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 BANK 2020-BNK25, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2020-BNK25 requiring action by you as the ‘Repurchase Request Recipient’ thereunder.” Upon receipt of such 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request by the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, then such party shall give notice of such withdrawal or rejection to such Master Servicer or such 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 applicable Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans) or the applicable Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) shall promptly notify the Depositor of such repurchase or replacement.

equity (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;

 

(iv)       There is no action, suit or proceeding pending or, to the Depositor’s knowledge, threatened against the Depositor in any court or by or before any other governmental agency or instrumentality which would materially and adversely affect the validity of the Mortgage Loans or the ability of the Depositor to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and

 

(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, not later than ninety (90) days after (i) except in the case of the succeeding clause (ii), the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s receipt of such notice of such Repurchase Request or, if earlier, such Mortgage Loan Seller’s discovery of such Material Defect or (ii) in the case of a Material Defect relating to a Mortgage Loan not being a Qualified Mortgage, the earlier of (x) discovery by the related Mortgage Loan Seller or any party to this Agreement of such Material Defect and (y) receipt of notice of the Material Defect from any party to this Agreement (such ninety (90) day period, 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 REO Loan (excluding any related Serviced Companion Loan, if applicable) (or, in the case of a 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 (other than with respect to the Whole Loans, for which no substitution will be permitted) for such affected Mortgage Loan or REO Loan (provided that in no event shall any such substitution occur on or after the second anniversary of the Closing Date) and pay the applicable Master Servicer for deposit into the related Collection Account, any Substitution Shortfall Amount in connection therewith and in conformity with the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Agreement; provided, however, that except with respect to a Material Defect resulting

 

    -153- 

     

    
 

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, 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 REO Loan (excluding any related Serviced Companion Loan, if applicable) (or, in the case of a Joint Mortgage Loan, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller Percentage Interest thereof) or substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (other than with respect to the Whole Loans, for which no substitution will be permitted)) and provided, further, that with respect to such Extended Cure Period the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall have delivered 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 applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and (with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder, prior to the occurrence and continuance 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; and 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 related 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 until eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date for so long as such Mortgage Loan Seller certifies to the Trustee, the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer, the Directing Certificateholder (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) and the Certificate Administrator no less than every ninety (90) days, beginning at the end of such Extended Cure Period, that such Material Defect is still in effect solely because of its failure to have received the recorded document and that such Mortgage Loan Seller is diligently pursuing the cure of such Material Defect (specifying the actions being taken). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Defect or Breach which causes any Mortgage Loan not to be a Qualified Mortgage shall be deemed to materially and adversely affect the interests of Certificateholders therein, and (subject to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s right to cure such Defect or Breach during the Initial Cure Period) such Mortgage Loan shall be repurchased or substituted for without regard to the Extended Cure Period described in the preceding sentence. If the affected Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased, the funds in the amount of the Purchase Price remitted by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller are to be remitted by wire transfer to the applicable Master Servicer for deposit into its 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 to the Special Servicer a copy of the Servicing File with respect to any such Non-Specially Serviced Loan.

 

    -154- 

     

    
If a Mortgage Loan Seller, in connection with a Material Defect (or an allegation of a Material Defect) pertaining to a Mortgage Loan, makes a cash payment pursuant to an agreement or a settlement between the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller and the Enforcing Servicer on behalf of the Trust (and, for so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and in respect of any Mortgage Loan that is not an Excluded Loan or a Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder, 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 Payment shall be deposited 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 applicable Master Servicer shall promptly provide the applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer’s possession or otherwise reasonably available to the applicable Master Servicer, and reasonably required by the applicable 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 Enforcing 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 (or, in the case of a Joint Mortgage Loan, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller Percentage Interest thereof) and not previously paid by the Mortgage Loan Seller. If such Loss of Value Payment is made, the Loss of Value Payment shall serve as the sole remedy available to the Certificateholders and the Trustee on their behalf regarding any such Material 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 Enforcing 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 Enforcing Servicer 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 Material Defect as a result of a Mortgage Loan not constituting a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code (but without regard to the rule of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that causes a defective Mortgage Loan to be treated as a “qualified mortgage”) 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 applicable Master Servicer, the

 

    -155- 

     

    
 

applicable 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 by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Asset Representations Reviewer 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. Except as provided in the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall remit the amount of such costs and expenses and, upon its making such remittance, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall be deemed to have cured such Breach in all respects. To the extent any fees or expenses that are the subject of a cure by the related Mortgage Loan Seller are subsequently obtained from the related 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 each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (if any) after the related Due Date in the month of substitution, and Periodic Payments due with respect to each Mortgage Loan being repurchased or replaced after the related Cut-off Date and received by the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust on or prior to the related date of repurchase or substitution, shall be part of the Trust Fund. Periodic Payments due with respect to each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (if any) on or prior to the related Due Date in the month of substitution, and Periodic Payments due with respect to each Mortgage Loan being repurchased or replaced and received by the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust after the related date of repurchase or substitution, shall not be part of the Trust Fund and are to be remitted by such Master Servicer (or by such Special Servicer to the Master Servicer who shall remit such funds) to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller effecting the related repurchase or substitution promptly following receipt. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, a delay in either the discovery of a Material Defect or in providing notice of such Material Defect shall relieve the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller of its obligation to cure, repurchase or substitute for (or make a Loss of Value Payment with respect to) the related Mortgage Loan if it is otherwise required to do so under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and/or this Article II if (i) the related Mortgage Loan Seller did not otherwise discover or have knowledge of such Material Defect, (ii) such delay is a result of the failure by a party to the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, or this Agreement, to provide prompt notice as required by the terms of the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, or this Agreement, after such party has actual knowledge of such Material Defect (knowledge shall not be deemed to exist by reason of the Custodial Exception Report), (iii) such Material Defect does not relate to the applicable Mortgage Loan not being a Qualified Mortgage and (iv) such delay or failure to provide notice (as required by the terms of the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or this Agreement) prevented the Mortgage Loan Seller from being able to cure such Material Defect and such Material Defect was otherwise curable. 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

 

    -156- 

     

    
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 with respect to 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 in lieu of repurchase would not (A) cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or (B) result in the imposition of a tax upon any Trust REMIC or the Trust and (iii)each applicable Rating Agency has provided a Rating Agency Confirmation.

 

(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 shall cause a document in the Mortgage File to be deemed to have a Material Defect: (i) 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; (ii) the absence from the Mortgage File of the original signed Mortgage 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; (iii) the absence from the Mortgage File of the item called for by clause (viii) of the definition of “Mortgage File”; (iv) the absence from the Mortgage File of any intervening assignments required to create a complete chain of assignments to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust, unless there is included in the Mortgage File either a copy of the assignment with evidence of recording thereon or a copy of the intervening assignment and a certificate from the related Mortgage Loan Seller stating that the original intervening assignments were sent for filing or recordation, as applicable; (v) the absence from the Mortgage File of any required letter of credit; or (vi) with respect to any related leasehold Mortgage Loan, the absence from the related Mortgage File of a copy (or an original, if available) of the related Ground Lease; provided, however, that no Defect (except the Defects previously described in sub-clauses (ii) through (vi) of this Section 2.03(c)) shall be considered to materially and adversely affect the value of the related Mortgage Loan, the value of the related Mortgaged Property or the interests of the Trustee or Certificateholders unless the document with respect to which the 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 any collateral securing the related Mortgage Loan or for any immediate significant servicing obligation; provided, further, that no Defect relating to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan previously described in sub-clauses (ii) through (vi) 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 Trustee or Certificateholders unless the related Mortgage Loan Seller, after receipt of notice of such Defect,

    -157- 

     

    
 

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.

 

(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, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the applicable Master Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer shall each tender to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, upon delivery to each of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the applicable Master Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer of a trust receipt executed by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller evidencing such repurchase or substitution, all portions of the Mortgage File and other documents pertaining to such Mortgage Loan possessed by each of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the applicable Master Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer (other than attorney-client communications that are privileged communications), and each document that constitutes a part of the Mortgage File that was endorsed or assigned to the Trustee shall be endorsed or assigned, as the case may be to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller in the same manner as provided in Section 5 of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and, if applicable, the definition of “Mortgage File” herein, so as to vest in such Mortgage Loan Seller the legal and beneficial ownership of such repurchased or substituted Mortgage Loan (including property acquired in respect thereof and proceeds of any insurance policy with respect thereto) and the related Mortgage Loan documents.

 

(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 applicable Master Servicer or the applicable 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

    -158- 

     

    
 

carried out in the
best interest of the Certificateholders in accordance with the Servicing Standard. Any costs incurred by an 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, be deemed to be
Servicing Advances to the extent not otherwise provided for herein. The applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special
Servicer, as applicable, 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)(vii)
herein out of general collections on the Mortgage Loans on deposit in the related 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, however, 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 Servicers and the Special Servicers 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 Master Servicers or the Special Servicers, and unpaid or unreimbursed expenses of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Trust, the Master Servicers or the Special Servicers allocable to such Mortgage Loan. The Enforcing 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, however, that the Enforcing Servicer determines in the exercise of its sole discretion consistent with the Servicing Standard that such actions by it will not impair the Enforcing Servicer’s collection or recovery of principal, interest and other sums due with respect to the related Mortgage Loan that would otherwise be payable to the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Certificateholders pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; provided, further, that such 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

    -159- 

     

    
 

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, however, 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 Section 2.03(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 Enforcing 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, 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

 

    -160- 

     

    
 

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 applicable Master Servicer and the applicable 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, a Master Servicer, a 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, the Directing Certificateholder 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”) and the Enforcing Servicer shall promptly send the PSA Party Repurchase Request to the related Mortgage Loan Seller. 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 applicable Master Servicer (in the case of Non-Specially Serviced Loans) or the applicable Special Servicer (in the case of Specially Serviced Loans) from exercising any of their respective 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.

 

(iv)       Within two (2) Business Days after a Resolution Failure occurs with respect to a Repurchase Request made by any Person other than the applicable Special Servicer, the Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder relating to a Non-Specially Serviced Loan, the applicable Master Servicer shall send a written notice (a “Master Servicer Proposed Course of Action Notice”) to the applicable Special Servicer, indicating such Master Servicer’s analysis and recommended course of action with respect to such Repurchase Request. The applicable Master Servicer shall also deliver to the applicable Special Servicer the Servicing File and all information, documents and records (including records stored electronically on computer tapes, magnetic discs and the like) relating to such Non-Specially Serviced Loan and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan, either in such Master Servicer’s possession or otherwise reasonably available to such Master Servicer, and reasonably requested by the applicable Special Servicer to enable it to assume its duties hereunder to the extent set forth in this Agreement for such Non-Specially Serviced Loan. Upon

 

    -161- 

     

    
receipt of such Master Servicer Proposed Course of Action Notice and such Servicing File and other material, the applicable Special Servicer shall become the Enforcing Servicer with respect to such Repurchase Request.

 

(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, a party to this Agreement or the Directing Certificateholder), and, if applicable, after the applicable Master Servicer sends the Master Servicer Proposed Course of Action Notice, 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 trustadministrationgroup@wellsfargo.com). The Certificate Administrator shall make the Proposed Course of Action 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 (a “Proposed Course of Action”). The Proposed Course of Action Notice shall include (a) a request to Certificateholders to indicate their agreement with or dissent from such Proposed Course of Action, by clearly marking “agree” or “disagree” to the Proposed Course of Action on such notice within thirty (30) days after the date of such notice and a disclaimer that responses received after such thirty (30)-day period will not be taken into consideration, (b) a statement that in the event any Certificateholder disagrees with the Proposed Course of Action, the Enforcing Servicer (either as the Enforcing Party or as the Enforcing Servicer in circumstances where a Certificateholder is acting as the Enforcing Party) shall be compelled to follow the course of action agreed to and/or proposed by the majority of the responding Certificateholders that involves referring the matter to mediation or arbitration, as the case may be, in accordance with the procedures relating to the delivery of Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notices and Final Dispute Resolution Election Notices described in this Section 2.03(l), (c) a statement that responding Certificateholders will be required to certify their holdings in connection with such response, (d) a statement that only responses clearly marked “agree” or “disagree” with such Proposed Course of Action will be taken into consideration and (e) instructions for responding Certificateholders to send their responses to the Enforcing Servicer and the Certificate Administrator. The Certificate Administrator shall, within three (3) Business Days after the expiration of the 30-day response period, tabulate the responses received from the Certificateholders and share the results with the Enforcing Servicer. The Certificate Administrator shall only count responses timely received that clearly indicate agreement or dissent with the related Proposed Course of Action and additional verbiage or qualifying language shall not be taken into consideration for purposes of determining whether the related Certificateholder agrees or disagrees with the Proposed Course of Action. The Certificate Administrator shall be under no obligation to answer any questions from Certificateholders regarding such Proposed Course of Action. For the avoidance of doubt, the Certificate Administrator’s obligations in connection with this Section 2.03(l) shall be limited solely to tabulating Certificateholder responses of “agree” or “disagree” to the Proposed Course of Action, and such obligation shall not be construed to impose any enforcement obligation on the Certificate Administrator. The Enforcing Servicer may conclusively rely (without investigation) on the Certificate Administrator’s tabulation of the responses of the responding Certificateholders and whether that amount constitutes a majority. If (a) the Enforcing Servicer’s intended course of action with respect to the Repurchase Request does not involve pursuing

 

    -162- 

     

    
 

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 (other than the Holder of the RR Interest) 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 after 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 (including non-binding arbitration) or arbitration. In the event that (a) the Enforcing Servicer’s initial Proposed Course of Action indicated a recommendation to undertake mediation (including non-binding arbitration) or arbitration, (b) any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner delivers a Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice, and (c) the Enforcing Servicer also received responses from other Certificateholders or Certificate Owners supporting the Enforcing Servicer’s initial Proposed Course of Action, such additional responses from other Certificateholders or Certificate Owners will also be considered Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notices supporting such Proposed Course of Action for purposes of determining the course of action approved by the majority of responding Certificateholders.

 

(ii)        If neither the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, nor any other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner entitled to do so delivers a Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice prior to the Dispute Resolution Cut-off Date, no Certificateholder or Certificate Owner otherwise entitled to do so 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 (in each case, other than of the RR Interest) (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 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)

    -163- 

     

    
 

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 there is more than one Requesting Certificateholder that 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. 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, however, 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 posted on the certificate administrator’s website, 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 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.

 

    -164- 

     

    
 

(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)    For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Depositor, the Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to the subject Mortgage Loan or any of their respective affiliates shall be entitled to be an Initial Requesting Certificateholder or a Requesting Certificateholder, to act as a Certificateholder for purposes of delivering any Preliminary Dispute Resolution Notice or Final Dispute Resolution Notice or otherwise to vote Certificates owned by it or such affiliate(s) with respect to a course of action proposed or undertaken pursuant to the procedures described under this Section 2.03(l).

 

(ix)       Subject to the other provisions of this Section 2.03(l), 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 within sixty (60) days of receipt of written notice of the Enforcing Party’s selection of mediation (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.

 

(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.

 

    -165- 

     

    
(vi)       Out of pocket costs and expenses of the applicable 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 within sixty (60) days of receipt of written notice of the Enforcing Party’s selection of arbitration (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 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,

 

    -166- 

     

    
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.

The applicable Master Servicer and the applicable 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 applicable Special Servicer shall be obligated to service and administer (i) any Mortgage Loans (other than the Non-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 and (ii) any REO Properties (other than the Non-Serviced Mortgaged Properties); provided that the applicable 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 applicable 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 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, however, that the applicable Master Servicer shall not be liable for failure to comply with such duties insofar as such failure results from a failure of the applicable Special Servicer to provide sufficient information to such Master Servicer to comply with such duties or failure by such Special Servicer to otherwise comply with its obligations hereunder. No Master Servicer or Special Servicer, in its capacity as a Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall have any responsibility for the performance by any other Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, in its capacity as a Master Servicer or Special Servicer, of its duties under this Agreement.

The applicable Special Servicer shall make the property inspections, use its reasonable efforts to collect the financial statements, budgets, operating statements and rent rolls (or, with respect to residential cooperative properties, maintenance schedules) and forward to the applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer may contact the Mortgagor of any Non-Specially Serviced Loan if efforts by such Master Servicer to collect required financial information have been unsuccessful or any other issues remain unresolved.

Any provision in this Agreement for any Advance by either 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 Servicers or the Special Servicers 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, each of the Master Servicers and the Special Servicers 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 Master Servicer and each 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 Loan it is obligated to service under this Agreement: (i) any and all financing statements, continuation statements and other documents or instruments necessary to maintain the lien created by the related Mortgage or other security document in the related Mortgage File on the related Mortgaged Property and related collateral, and shall, from time to time, execute and/or deliver such financing statements, continuation statements and other documents or instruments as necessary to maintain the lien created by the related Mortgage or other security document in the related Mortgage File on the related Mortgaged Property and related collateral; (ii) subject to Sections 3.08, 3.18 and 6.08, any and all modifications, waivers, amendments or consents to, under or with respect to any documents contained in the related Mortgage File; (iii) any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, pledge agreements and other documents in connection with a defeasance, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments; and (iv) any or all complaints or other pleadings to initiate and/or to terminate any action, suit or proceeding on behalf of the Trust in their representative capacities (except as set forth below in this paragraph). The applicable Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans) and the applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer and the applicable 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 such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as applicable) and (ii) upon request, furnish, or cause to be furnished, to the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer any powers of attorney substantially in the form of Exhibit R-1 or

 

    -173-

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall not, without the Trustee’s written consent: (i) initiate any action, suit or proceeding solely under the Trustee’s name without indicating such Master Servicer’s or such Special Servicer’s, as the case may be, representative capacity (unless prohibited by any requirement of the applicable jurisdiction in which any such action, suit or proceeding is brought and if so prohibited, in the manner required by such jurisdiction (provided that such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as applicable, shall then provide five (5) Business Days’ written notice to the Trustee of the initiation of such action, suit or proceeding (or such shorter time period as is reasonably required in the judgment of such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as applicable, made in accordance with the Servicing Standard) prior to filing such action, suit or proceeding, and shall not be required to obtain the Trustee’s consent or indicate such Master Servicer’s or such Special Servicer’s, as applicable, representative capacity)) or (ii) take any action with the intent to cause, and that actually causes, the Trustee to be required to be registered to do business in any state.

 

(c)        To the extent the applicable Master Servicer is permitted pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents or Companion Loan documents (including any related Intercreditor Agreement) to exercise its discretion with respect to any action that requires 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 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), the applicable Master Servicer shall require the costs of such Rating Agency Confirmation to be borne by the related Mortgagor. 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 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), the applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer

 

    -174- 

     

    
shall use reasonable efforts to have the Mortgagor bear such costs and expenses. The applicable 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 Servicers and the Special Servicers 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)        Each 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.

The costs and expenses of any modifications to Ground Leases shall be paid by the related Mortgagor.

 

With respect to letters of credit delivered in accordance with subclause (B) of clause (xii) of the definition of “Mortgage File”, (a) within sixty (60) days of the Closing Date or such shorter period as is required by the terms of such letter of credit or other applicable Mortgage Loan documents, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall notify the bank issuing the letter of credit that the applicable Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee shall be the beneficiary under such letter of credit, and (b) within sixty (60) days of the Closing Date, the applicable Master Servicer shall present such letter of credit and the related assignment documentation delivered by the Mortgage Loan Seller in accordance with such subclause of the definition of “Mortgage File” to the letter of credit bank issuing such letter of credit and request that such letter of credit bank reissue the letter of credit in the name of (x) in the case of the Mortgage Loans other than the NCB Mortgage Loans, “Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as General Master Servicer, on behalf of Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee, for the benefit of registered holders of BANK 2020-BNK25, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2020-BNK25” or (y) in the case of the NCB Mortgage Loans, “National Cooperative Bank, N.A., as NCB Master Servicer, on behalf of Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee, for the benefit of registered holders of BANK 2020-BNK25, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2020-BNK25”.

(g)        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 clause (f) above, such Mortgage Loan

 

    -175- 

     

    
Seller shall cooperate with the reasonable requests of the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer has exercised reasonable efforts to collect such costs and expenses from such Mortgagor, then such 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 applicable Master Servicer nor the applicable 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.

 

Each Master Servicer acknowledges that any letter of credit held by it shall be held in its capacity as agent of the Trust, and if such Master Servicer sells its rights to service the applicable Mortgage Loan, such Master Servicer shall assign the applicable letter of credit to the Trust or (with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan) at the direction of the applicable Special Servicer to such party as such Special Servicer may instruct, in each case at the expense of the applicable Master Servicer. Each Master Servicer shall indemnify the Trust for any loss caused by the ineffectiveness of such assignment.

 

(h)        Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the applicable Master Servicer (or the Trustee, as applicable) make an Advance with respect to any Companion Loan to the extent the related Serviced Mortgage Loan has been paid in full or is no longer included in the Trust Fund.

 

(i)         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.

 

(j)         The applicable 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 such 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.

(k)        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 Servicers nor the Special Servicers 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, 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 applicable 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, however, 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 applicable 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 second proviso to the preceding sentence, the applicable 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 such 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 such Master Servicer hereunder.

 

(l)         Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the applicable Master Servicer’s and the applicable Special Servicer’s obligations and responsibilities hereunder and the applicable Master Servicer’s and the applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer (or, with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan, the applicable Special Servicer) shall use reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standards to enforce the rights of the Trustee (as holder of a

 

    -177- 

     

    
Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) under the related Non-Serviced Intercreditor Agreement and Non-Serviced PSA.

 

(m)       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 then-current ratings of any Class of Certificates then outstanding.

 

(n)        Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the applicable Master Servicer’s and the applicable Special Servicer’s obligations and responsibilities hereunder and the applicable Master Servicer’s and the applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer (or, if a Serviced Whole Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan, the applicable 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.

 

(o)        In connection with the securitization of any Serviced Companion Loan (in each case, only 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 applicable Master Servicer (if such Serviced Companion Loan is not a Specially Serviced Loan), the applicable 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 the related Whole Loan, and that such Serviced Companion Noteholder reasonably determines to be necessary or appropriate, for inclusion in any disclosure document(s) relating to such Other Securitization.

 

(p)        For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Master Servicers, the Special Servicers, the Certificate Administrator or 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 applicable 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

 

    -178- 

     

    
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.

 

(q)        Nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit the ability of the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer to lend money to (to the extent not secured, in whole or in part, by any Mortgaged Property, except, in the case of an NCB Co-op Mortgage Loan, any such indebtedness as to which the NCB Subordinate Debt Conditions have been satisfied, which indebtedness may be secured by a lien on the related Mortgaged Property), accept deposits from or otherwise generally engage in any kind of business or dealings with any Mortgagor as though the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer was not a party to this Agreement or to the transactions contemplated hereby; provided that this sentence shall not be construed to modify or supersede the Servicing Standard.

 

Section 3.02    Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments. (a) Each of the applicable Master Servicer and the applicable 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, for so long as the related Mortgagor is in compliance with each provision of the related Mortgage Loan documents, the applicable Master Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer shall be permitted to take any enforcement action with respect to the failure of the related Mortgagor to make any payment of Excess Interest to the extent permitted under the related Mortgage Loan documents; provided, further, that the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as applicable, may in its discretion waive any Penalty Charge in connection with any delinquent payment on a Mortgage Loan or Serviced 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 such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as applicable, may in its discretion waive any Penalty Charge in connection with any delinquent payment on a Mortgage Loan or Serviced 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 Serviced 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 applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, has, prior to the occurrence and continuance 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 such Master Servicer or such 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 applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, may

 

    -179- 

     

    
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 or consultation rights with respect to the foregoing waivers in relation to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder.

 

(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 (including any related Intercreditor Agreement); provided, however, 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:

None of the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee shall be responsible for any failure of the related Mortgagor to pay any Excess Interest or prepayment penalty. The preceding statements shall not, however, be construed to limit the provisions of Section 3.02(a).

(a) Each Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (the “Servicing Accounts”), into which all Escrow Payments received by it shall be deposited and retained, and shall administer such Servicing Accounts in accordance with the related 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 Noteholders collectively, but this shall not be construed to modify the respective interests of any noteholder therein as set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement. Amounts on deposit in 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.

If allowed by the related Mortgage Loan documents and applicable law, the applicable Master Servicer may charge the related Mortgagor an administrative fee for maintenance of the Servicing Accounts.

(b)        The applicable Special Servicer, in the case of REO Loans (other than any REO Loan succeeding a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), and the applicable Master Servicer, in the case of all other related Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and each related 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 applicable Special Servicer, in the case of REO Loans (other than any REO Loan succeeding a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), and the applicable Master Servicer, in the case of all other related Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and each related 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 applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer at the written direction of the applicable Special Servicer in the case of REO Loans) as allowed under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and Companion Loan. Other than with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the applicable 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 Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-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 applicable Special Servicer, in the case of REO Loans, and the applicable 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 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 Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) and each Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, the applicable 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, however, that the particular advance would not, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance and provided, further, however, that with respect to the payment of taxes and assessments, the applicable Master Servicer shall not be required to make such advance until the later of (i) five (5) Business Days after such Master Servicer, the applicable 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

 

    -186- 

     

    
accrue in respect of such taxes or assessments. The applicable Special Servicer shall give the applicable Master Servicer and the Trustee no less than five (5) Business Days’ written (facsimile or electronic) notice before the date on which such Master Servicer is requested to make any Servicing Advance with respect to a given Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property; provided, however, 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 the applicable Special Servicer shall not be entitled to make such a request (other than for Servicing Advances required to be made on an urgent or emergency basis) more frequently than once per calendar month (although such request may relate to more than one Servicing Advance). The applicable Master Servicer may pay the aggregate amount of such Servicing Advances listed on a monthly request to the applicable Special Servicer, in which case such Special Servicer shall remit such Servicing Advances to the ultimate payees. The applicable 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, such Special Servicer may make a Servicing Advance in its sole discretion. Within five (5) Business Days of making such a Servicing Advance, the applicable Special Servicer shall deliver to the applicable Master Servicer a request for reimbursement for such Servicing Advance, along with all information and documentation in such Special Servicer’s possession regarding the subject Servicing Advance as such Master Servicer may reasonably request, and such Master Servicer shall be obligated, out of such Master Servicer’s own funds, to reimburse such Special Servicer for any unreimbursed Servicing Advances (other than Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances) made by such 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 within five (5) Business Days of the written request therefor pursuant to the preceding sentence by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by such Special Servicer. Upon the applicable Master Servicer’s reimbursement to the applicable Special Servicer of any Servicing Advance and payment to such Special Servicer of interest thereon, all in accordance with this Section 3.03, such Master Servicer shall for all purposes of this Agreement be deemed to have made such Servicing Advance at the same time as such Special Servicer actually made such Servicing Advance, and accordingly, such Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed for 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 such Master Servicer would otherwise have been entitled if it had actually made such Servicing Advance at the time such Special Servicer did. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.03(c), the applicable Master Servicer shall not be required to reimburse the applicable Special Servicer out of its own funds for, or to make at the direction of such Special Servicer, any Servicing Advance if such Master Servicer determines in its reasonable judgment that such Servicing Advance, although not characterized by such Special Servicer as a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, is in fact a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. The applicable Master Servicer shall notify such Special Servicer in writing of such determination and, if applicable, such Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance shall instead be reimbursed to such Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.05 of this Agreement.

 

Any request by a Special Servicer that the applicable Master Servicer make a Servicing Advance shall be deemed to be a determination by such Special Servicer that such requested Servicing Advance is not a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, and such Master

 

    -187- 

     

    
Servicer and the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such determination, provided that the determination shall not be binding on such Master Servicer or Trustee. On the first Business Day after the Determination Date for the related Distribution Date, the applicable Special Servicer shall report to the applicable Master Servicer if such Special Servicer determines any Servicing Advance previously made by such Master Servicer with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan or REO Loan is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. Such Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such a determination, and such determination shall be binding upon such Master Servicer, and shall in no way limit the ability of such Master Servicer in the absence of such determination to make its own determination that any Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance. If the applicable 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 applicable 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. If the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer or the Trustee determines that a proposed Servicing Advance with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, if made, or any outstanding Servicing Advance with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan previously made, would be, or is, as applicable, a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall provide the applicable Other Servicer written notice of such determination within two (2) Business Days of the date of such determination. Any such determination by the applicable Special Servicer that such Servicing Advance is or would be a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance shall be binding on the applicable Master Servicer and the Trustee. 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 a Master Servicer or a 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 a 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 Servicers shall consider Unliquidated Advances in respect of prior Servicing Advances for purposes of nonrecoverability determinations. The Special Servicers 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 applicable Master Servicer may in its good faith judgment elect (but shall not be required unless directed by the applicable Special Servicer with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and REO Loans) to make a payment from amounts on deposit in its 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 comprising general collections) to pay for certain expenses set forth below notwithstanding that the applicable Master Servicer (or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be) has determined that a Servicing Advance with respect to such

 

    -188- 

     

    
expenditure
would be a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance (unless, with respect to Specially Serviced Loans or REO Loans, the applicable
Special Servicer has notified the applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer or the applicable
Special Servicer, as the case may be, 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 pari
passu nature of any Companion Loans). The applicable Master Servicer or the 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 applicable 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 applicable Special Servicer and then the applicable 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 applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer shall reimburse itself, the applicable 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 applicable Collection Account (or any Companion Distribution Account maintained as a subaccount thereof by the Companion Paying Agent, if applicable) subject to the applicable Master Servicer’s or the Trustee’s options and rights to defer recovery of such amounts as provided herein; provided, however, that such Master Servicer’s or Trustee’s options and rights to defer recovery of such amounts shall not alter such Master Servicer’s obligation to reimburse such 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 applicable 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 Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), the applicable 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

 

    -189- 

     

    
improvements, actions or remediations are required to have been taken or completed pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), the applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer shall report any such failure to the applicable 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.

Notwithstanding the foregoing requirements, a Master Servicer need not deposit into its Collection Account any amount that such Master Servicer would be authorized to withdraw immediately from such account in accordance with the terms of Section 3.05 and shall be entitled to instead immediately pay such amount directly to the Person(s) entitled thereto; provided that such amounts shall be applied in accordance with the terms hereof and shall be reported as if deposited in its Collection Account and then withdrawn.

 

The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection Accounts shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, actual payments from Mortgagors in the nature of Escrow Payments, charges for beneficiary statements or demands, assumption fees, modification fees, extension fees, defeasance fees, amounts collected for Mortgagor checks returned for insufficient funds or other amounts either Master Servicer or either Special Servicer would be entitled to retain as additional servicing compensation need not be deposited by such Master Servicer in its Collection Account. If either Master Servicer shall deposit in its Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from its 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 applicable 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 applicable Special Servicer shall remit within one (1) Business Day such amounts to the applicable Master Servicer for deposit into the applicable 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 applicable 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 applicable Special Servicer shall remit such amounts to the applicable Master Servicer within two (2) Business Days of receipt of such amounts.

Each Master Servicer shall give written notice to the Trustee, the Special Servicers, the Certificate Administrator and the Depositor of the new location of its Collection Account prior to any change thereof.

 

(b)        The Certificate Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, shall establish and maintain (i) the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and the Retained Certificate Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders (other than the Holders of the Class V Certificates), (ii) the Upper Tier REMIC Distribution Account in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders (other than the Holders of the Class V Certificates), and (iii) the Excess Interest Distribution Account in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Class V Certificates and the RR Interest.

For the avoidance of doubt, so long as Wells Fargo Bank, National Association is the Certificate Administrator, all funds held in the Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account and the Excess Interest Distribution Account shall remain uninvested. The Certificate Administrator shall, on any Distribution Date, make withdrawals from the Excess Interest Distribution Account to the extent required to make the distributions of Excess Interest required by Section 4.01(j) of this Agreement.

The Certificate Administrator shall, upon receipt, deposit in the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account or the Excess Interest Distribution Account, as applicable, any and all amounts received by the Certificate Administrator that are required by the terms of this Agreement to be deposited therein by the applicable Master Servicer.

 

Promptly on each Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall be deemed to withdraw from the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account and deposit in the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account an aggregate amount of immediately available funds equal to the Lower-Tier Distribution Amount and the amount of any Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges for such Distribution Date allocated in payment of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests as specified in Section 4.01(a), Section 4.01(b) and Section 4.01(e), as applicable.

 

Funds on deposit in the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account, the Retained Certificate Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account or the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account shall not be invested for so long as Wells Fargo Bank, National Association is the Certificate Administrator; provided, however, that such funds may be invested and, if invested, shall be invested by, and at the risk of, the Certificate Administrator (but only if the Certificate Administrator is not Wells Fargo Bank, National Association) in Permitted Investments selected by the party hereunder that maintains such account which shall mature, unless payable on demand, not later than such time on the Distribution Date which will allow the Certificate Administrator to make withdrawals from the Distribution Account, and any such Permitted Investment shall not be sold or disposed of prior to its maturity unless payable on demand. All such Permitted Investments to be administered by the Certificate Administrator, shall be made in the name of “Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, for the benefit of Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee for the Holders of the BANK 2020-BNK25, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2020-BNK25 as their interests may appear”, or in the name of any successor trustee, as Trustee for the Holders of the BANK 2020-BNK25, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2020-BNK25 as their interests may appear. None of the Trust, the Depositor, the Mortgagors, the Master Servicers or the Special Servicers shall be liable for any loss incurred on such Permitted Investments.

 

An amount equal to all income and gain realized from any such investment shall be paid to the Certificate Administrator as additional compensation and shall be subject to its withdrawal at any time from time to time. 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

 

    -194- 

     

    
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.

 

On the Closing Date, the Depositor shall deposit $250,000 with the Certificate Administrator, to be credited to the Legal Fee Reserve Account. Funds held in the Legal Fee Reserve Account shall remain uninvested. Annually, on or about April 1st beginning 2021 upon receipt by the Certificate Administrator from the Depositor of a legal invoice related to Commission compliance matters, the Certificate Administrator shall pay such legal invoice from and solely to the extent of funds then on deposit in the Legal Fee Reserve Account. Any such instruction shall be sent by email to cts.cmbs.bond.admin@wellsfargo.com, along with a copy of the invoice, and a subject line reference of “BANK-2020-BNK25- Legal Fee Reserve Account”. The Legal Fee Reserve Account will not be a part of the Trust Fund, either Trust REMIC or the Grantor Trust. The Depositor will be the beneficial owner of the Legal Fee Reserve Account for all federal income tax purposes, and shall be taxable on all income earned therefrom.

 

Upon the depletion of the Legal Fee Reserve Account, or if there are insufficient funds to pay any invoice, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Depositor, and thereafter the Depositor shall pay any additional legal invoices from its own funds and the Certificate Administrator shall have no responsibility in connection therewith.

 

The Certificate Administrator shall have no responsibility for verifying the accuracy, reasonableness, or appropriateness of any invoice received. On the final Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall pay to the Depositor any funds then remaining in the Legal Fee Reserve Account in accordance with directions provided by the Depositor.

 

As of the Closing Date, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account and the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account shall be located at the offices of the Certificate Administrator. The Certificate Administrator shall give notice to the Trustee, the Master Servicers and the Depositor 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 and the Retained Certificate Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account prior to any change thereof.

 

For the avoidance of doubt, the Collection Accounts (other than (i) any portion holding Excess Interest and (ii) the Companion Distribution Account, if it is a sub-account of a Collection Account), the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account, the Retained Certificate 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 Accounts 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 and the RR Interest; 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

 

    -195-

(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 a Master Servicer or a 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 and the RR Interest, which shall be an asset of the Grantor Trust, but shall not be an asset of any Trust REMIC. 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 applicable Master Servicer shall remit to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Excess Interest Distribution Account an amount equal to the Excess Interest received by such Master Servicer prior to the Determination Date for the applicable Collection Period.

 

(d)        Following the distribution of the applicable portions of Excess Interest to Holders of the Class V Certificates and the RR Interest, as applicable, 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 applicable Special Servicer of an event occurring that generates Gain-on-Sale Proceeds) and maintain (i) the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account for the benefit of the Certificateholders (other than Holders of the RR Interest) and (ii) the Retained Certificate Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account for the benefit of the Holders of the RR Interest. Each of the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and the Retained Certificate 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 applicable Special Servicer will calculate the Gain-on-Sale Proceeds, if any, realized that are allocable to the Mortgage Loan and any gain that is allocable to any related Serviced Companion Loan in connection with such sale and remit such funds to the applicable Master Servicer on the later of (x) the date that is on or prior to each Determination Date or (y) two (2) Business Days after such amounts are received and properly identified, along with a notation of the amount of Gain-on-Sale Proceeds in the CREFC® REO Liquidation Report. On the related Remittance Date, the applicable Master Servicer shall remit such funds that are allocable to the Mortgage Loan to the Certificate Administrator, who shall (i) deposit the Non-Retained Percentage of such funds into the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and (ii) deposit the Required Credit Risk Retention Percentage of such funds into the Retained Certificate 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.

 

    -196- 

     

    
(f)        Any Non-Serviced Gain-on-Sale Proceeds received with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan pursuant to the related Non-Serviced PSA shall be remitted to the Certificate Administrator as follows: (i) the Non-Retained Percentage of such funds for deposit into the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and (ii) the Required Credit Risk Retention Percentage of such funds for deposit into the Retained Certificate Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account.

 

(g)        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 applicable 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.

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

 

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

 

(v)        On the final Distribution Date after all distributions have been made as set forth in clause (i) through (iv) above, to each Mortgage Loan Seller, its pro rata share, based on the amount that it contributed, net of any amount contributed by such Mortgage

 

    -207- 

     

    
Loan Seller that was used pursuant to clauses (i)-(iii) to offset any portion of Realized Losses or Retained Certificate Realized Losses, as applicable, that are attributable to such Mortgage Loan or related REO Property, as the case may be, additional trust fund expenses or any Nonrecoverable Advances incurred with respect to the Mortgage Loan related to such contribution.

 

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

 

(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, REO Account and Loss of Value Reserve Fund. (a) Each Master Servicer may direct any depository institution maintaining its Collection Account, the Companion Distribution Account, or any Servicing Account maintained by or for such Master Servicer (for purposes of this Section 3.06, an “Investment Account”), each Special Servicer may direct any depository institution maintaining its REO Account and Loss of Value Reserve Fund (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 applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, on behalf of the Trustee (in its capacity as such) for the benefit of the Certificateholders. Each Master Servicer (in the case of the Collection Account, the Companion Distribution Account or any Servicing Account maintained by or for such Master Servicer), each Special Servicer (in the case of the REO Account, Loss of Value Reserve Fund or any Servicing Account maintained by or for such Special Servicer) on behalf of the Trustee, shall maintain continuous physical possession of any Permitted Investment of amounts in such Collection Account, such Companion Distribution Account, such Servicing Accounts, such Loss of Value Reserve Fund or such REO Account, 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), each Master Servicer or each Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall take or cause to

 

    -208- 

     

    
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 applicable Master Servicer (in the case of the Collection Account, the Companion Distribution Account or any Servicing Account maintained by or for such Master Servicer) or the applicable Special Servicer (in the case of the REO Account, Loss of Value Reserve Fund or any Servicing Account maintained by or for such 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 applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator 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 Servicing Account maintained by or for the applicable 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 applicable 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, Loss of Value Reserve Fund or any Servicing Account maintained by or for the applicable 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 applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer or applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, would have been entitled to any Net Investment Earnings hereunder) directed to be made by the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, and on deposit in any of the Collection Account, the Companion Distribution Account, the Servicing Account, Loss of Value Reserve Fund or the REO Account, the applicable Master Servicer (in the case of the Collection Account, the Companion Distribution Account or any Servicing Account maintained by or for such Master Servicer), the applicable Special Servicer (in the case of the REO Account, Loss of Value Reserve Fund or any Servicing Account maintained by or for such 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 applicable Master Servicer nor the applicable Special Servicer shall be required to deposit any loss on an investment of funds in an Investment

 

    -209- 

     

    
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 such federal or state chartered depository institution or trust company is not an Affiliate of such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as applicable, 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 applicable 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) Each Master Servicer (with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Serviced Companion Loan) shall use its efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the Mortgagor to maintain (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), and each Special Servicer (with respect to REO Properties other than any Non-Serviced Mortgaged Properties) 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 applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be). If the Mortgagor does not so maintain such insurance coverage, subject to its recoverability determination with respect to any required Servicing Advance, each Master Servicer (with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Serviced Companion Loan) or each Special Servicer (with respect to REO Properties other than a Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) 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 such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as applicable, and, if available, can be obtained at commercially reasonable rates, as determined (provided that any determination that such insurance coverage is not available or not available at commercially reasonable rates shall be made (i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Termination Event and other than with respect to any Excluded Loan as to the Directing Certificateholder, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder, (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, after consultation with the Directing Certificateholder, and (iii) with respect to any REO Property and other than with respect to an Excluded Loan as to the Risk Retention Consultation Party, after consultation with the Risk Retention Consultation Party (pursuant to Section 6.08(a) or, in each case, with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a related AB Control Appraisal Period, with the consent of the holder of the related AB Subordinate Companion Loan) and, after consultation by the applicable Special Servicer with the Risk Retention Consultation Party pursuant to Section 6.08(a) (in the case of the Directing Certificateholder and Risk

 

    -210- 

     

    
Retention Consultation Party, other than with respect to any Excluded Loan as to such party)). Such determination shall be made by the applicable Special Servicer except to the extent that the failure of the related Mortgagor to do so is an Acceptable Insurance Default as determined by such Master Servicer (with respect to a Non-Specially Serviced Loan) or such Special Servicer (with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan); provided, however, that if any Mortgage permits the holder thereof to dictate to the Mortgagor the insurance coverage to be maintained on such Mortgaged Property, such Master Servicer or, with respect to REO Property, such 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, with respect to the immediately preceding proviso, a Master Servicer shall 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 applicable Master Servicer (with respect to a Non-Specially Serviced Loan) or the applicable Special Servicer (with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan)) (i) unless a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and other than with respect to any Excluded Loan as to the Directing Certificateholder, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder, (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event and other than with respect to an Excluded Loan as to the Directing Certificateholder, after consultation with the Directing Certificateholder, (iii) with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan other than an Excluded Loan as to the Risk Retention Consultation Party, after consultation with the Risk Retention Consultation Party pursuant to Section 6.08(a) (or, in each case, with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a related AB Control Appraisal Period, the applicable Special Servicer with the consent of the Serviced AB Whole Loan Controlling Holder) and (iv) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan, the consent of the Directing Certificateholder, and only in the event the Trustee has an insurable interest therein and such insurance is available to the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, and, if available, can be obtained at commercially reasonable rates. Each Master Servicer and each 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. Subject to Section 3.15(a) and the costs of such insurance being reimbursed or paid to the applicable Special Servicer as provided in the third-to-last sentence of this paragraph, such Special Servicer shall maintain for each REO Property (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) no less insurance coverage than was previously required of the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan documents unless such Special Servicer determines ((i) unless a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and other than with respect to any Excluded Loan as to the Directing Certificateholder, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder, (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event and other than with respect to an Excluded Loan as to the Directing Certificateholder, after consultation with the Directing Certificateholder, and (iii) with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan other than an Excluded Loan as to the applicable Special Servicer, after consultation with the Risk Retention Consultation Party pursuant to Section 6.08(a) (or, in each case, with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a related AB Control Appraisal Period, with the consent of

 

    -211- 

     

    
the Serviced AB Whole Loan Controlling Holder)) that such insurance is not available at commercially reasonable rates or that the Trustee does not have an insurable interest, in which case the applicable Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such Special Servicer’s determination. All Insurance Policies maintained by a Master Servicer or a Special Servicer shall (i) contain a “standard” mortgagee clause, with loss payable to the applicable 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 applicable 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 (including any related Serviced Companion Loan) or REO Loan, as applicable, and in 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 a Master Servicer or a 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 a 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 such 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 applicable 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 a 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 applicable 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 applicable 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, no Master Servicer shall be required to maintain, and will not be in default for failing to obtain, any earthquake or environmental insurance on any Mortgaged Property unless

 

    -212- 

     

    
such insurance was required at the time of origination of the related Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and is currently available at commercially reasonable rates.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) 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 applicable 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 such Master 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) if the related Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan, notify the applicable Special Servicer if it has knowledge that any insurance policy contains Additional Exclusions or if it has knowledge (such knowledge to be based upon such Master Servicer’s 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. In addition, upon the written request of the Risk Retention Consultation Party with respect to any individual triggering event, the applicable Special Servicer will be required to consult on a non-binding basis pursuant to Section 6.08(a) with the Risk Retention Consultation Party (only with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan and other than with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is an Excluded Loan as to such party) within the same time period as it would obtain consent of, or consult with, the Directing Certificateholder in connection with any such determination, by such Special Servicer, of an Acceptable Insurance Default. If the applicable Master Servicer (with respect to a Non-Specially Serviced Loan) or the applicable Special Servicer (with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan) determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such failure is not an Acceptable Insurance Default, such Special Servicer (with respect to such determination made by the Special Servicer) shall notify the applicable Master Servicer and such Master Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause such insurance to be maintained. Each Master Servicer and each Special Servicer (at the expense of the Trust) shall be entitled to rely on insurance consultants in making such determinations. Each Master Servicer shall be entitled to rely on insurance consultants (at the expense of such Master Servicer) in determining whether Additional Exclusions exist. Furthermore, each Master Servicer or each Special Servicer, as applicable, 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 applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer is evaluating the availability of such insurance or waiting for a response from the Directing Certificateholder or the holder of any Companion Loan, and/or (solely with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) upon the request of the Risk Retention Consultation Party, consulting (on a non-binding basis) with the Risk Retention Consultation Party, neither the applicable Master Servicer nor the

 

    -213- 

     

    
applicable 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 such Master Servicer will not itself maintain such insurance or cause such insurance to be maintained.

 

(b)        (i) If either Master Servicer or either 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, such Master Servicer or such 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 applicable Master Servicer or the applicable 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 its 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 applicable 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. Each 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.

 

(ii)        If either Master Servicer or either 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 such Master Servicer or such 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, such Master Servicer or such 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 either Master Servicer or either 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 such Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance. Such master single interest or force-placed policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer shall, in

 

    -214- 

     

    
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 applicable 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 Master Servicer and each 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 an officer’s or employee’s misappropriation of funds or errors or omissions. Such amount of coverage shall be in such form and amount as are consistent with the Servicing Standard. Coverage of the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer under a policy or bond obtained by an Affiliate of such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer and providing the coverage required by this Section 3.07(c) shall satisfy the requirements of this Section 3.07(c). Each Special Servicer and each Master Servicer will promptly report in writing to the Trustee any material changes that may occur in their respective fidelity bonds, if any, and/or their respective errors and omissions insurance policies, as the case may be, and will furnish 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. Notwithstanding that the Hilton Denver Dual Brand Mortgage Loan permits the related Mortgagor to maintain insurance coverage for the related Mortgaged Property that is inconsistent with the requirements specifically set forth in the related Loan Agreement if (i) it receives the consent of lender and (ii) if required by lender, a Rating Agency Confirmation is received, the applicable Master Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer shall not consent to the related Mortgagor obtaining any such insurance policy inconsistent with the applicable S&P criteria without obtaining a Rating Agency Confirmation from S&P.

 

(d)       At the time the applicable Master Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that any Mortgaged Property (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) is in a federally designated special flood hazard area (and such flood insurance has been made available), such 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 such 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 Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or 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

 

    -215- 

     

    
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, such Master Servicer shall promptly make a Servicing Advance for such costs.

 

(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 applicable Special Servicer will cause to be maintained, to the extent available at commercially reasonable rates (as determined by such Special Servicer prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder (other than with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is an Excluded Loan as to such party)) and, with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan and upon request of the Risk Retention Consultation Party within the same time period as it would obtain the consent of, or consult with, the Directing Certificateholder in accordance with and to the extent provided in Section 6.08 (in either such case, 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 maximum amount of insurance which is available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, amended, plus such additional excess flood coverage with respect to the Mortgaged Property, if any, in an amount consistent with the Servicing Standard. 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 applicable Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance.

 

(f)        Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the long-term debt obligations or the deposit account or claims-paying ability of the applicable Master Servicer (or its immediate or remote parent) or the applicable Special Servicer (or its immediate or remote parent), as applicable, is rated at least “A-” by S&P or “A-” by Fitch (if rated by Fitch), such Master Servicer (or its public parent) or such Special Servicer (or its public parent), as applicable, shall be allowed to provide self-insurance with respect to any of its obligations 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 Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-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, the applicable Master Servicer (with respect to any Non-Specially Serviced Loan as to which such matter does not involve a Major Decision) or the applicable Special Servicer (with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan or any Non-Specially Serviced Loan as to which such matter involves a Major Decision), on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, shall (a) exercise any right it may have with respect to such Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan (x) to accelerate the payments thereon or (y) to withhold its consent to any sale or transfer, consistent with the Servicing Standard or (b) waive any right to exercise such rights, provided that if such matter is a Major Decision, (i) the applicable Special Servicer (A) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and other than with respect to an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder has obtained the consent (or deemed consent) of the Directing Certificateholder to the extent required by, and pursuant to the process described under Section 6.08(a), (B) if such Mortgage Loan is not an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder, a Control Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing, and no Consultation Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the applicable Special Servicer shall have consulted with the Directing Certificateholder if and to the extent required pursuant to Section 6.08(a) and (C) if such Mortgage Loan is not an Excluded Loan as to the Risk Retention Consultation Party and (x) such Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan or (y) a Consultation Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the applicable Special Servicer shall have consulted with the Risk Retention Consultation Party if and to the extent required pursuant to Section 6.08(a) (provided that in the case of clause (A), clause (B) and clause (C) such consent shall be deemed given or such consultation shall be deemed to have occurred, as applicable, if a response to the request for consent or consultation, as the case may be, is not provided within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the applicable Special Servicer’s written recommendation and analysis and all information reasonably requested by the Directing Certificateholder or the Risk Retention Consultation Party, as applicable, and reasonably available to such Special Servicer in order to grant or withhold such consent or conduct such consultation), and (ii) with respect to any Mortgage Loan (x) with a Stated Principal Balance greater than or equal to $20,000,000, (y) with a Stated Principal Balance greater than or equal to 5% of the aggregated Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans then outstanding or (z) 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 (10) largest Mortgage Loans outstanding (by Stated Principal Balance), the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, prior to consenting to any action, shall obtain, a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency 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), provided, however, that with respect to sub-clauses (y) and (z) of this sub-clause (ii), such Mortgage Loan shall also have a Stated Principal Balance of at least $10,000,000 for such Rating Agency Confirmation requirement to apply. Notwithstanding

anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class (regardless of whether a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing), the applicable 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.

 

With respect to any “due-on-sale” matter described above that is a Major Decision related to any Mortgage Loan that is not an Excluded Loan with respect to the Risk Retention Consultation Party or the holder of the majority of the RR Interest, upon request of the Risk Retention Consultation Party, the applicable Special Servicer shall consult on a non-binding basis with the Risk Retention Consultation Party with respect to (i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, Specially Serviced Loans; and (ii) following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, all Mortgage Loans, within the same time period as it would obtain the consent of, or consult with, the Directing Certificateholder with respect to such Major Decision.

 

In connection with any request for a Rating Agency Confirmation from a Rating Agency (or, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the related rating agencies) pursuant to this Section 3.08(a), the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall (if not already provided in accordance with Section 3.25 of this Agreement) deliver a Review Package to the 17g-5 Information Provider (or, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the related 17g-5 information provider) in accordance with Section 3.25 of this Agreement.

 

If any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-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 contained in the related Mortgage Loan documents are satisfied where no mortgagee discretion is necessary in order to determine if such conditions are satisfied, then for so long as such Mortgage Loan or related Serviced Companion Loan is being serviced under this Agreement, the applicable Master Servicer (with respect to all Non-Specially Serviced Loans) and the applicable Special Servicer (with respect to all Specially Serviced 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.

 

(b)        As to each Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Serviced Companion Loan that contains a provision in the nature of a “due-on-encumbrance” clause that 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

 

    -218- 

     

    
(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, the applicable Master Servicer (with respect to any Non-Specially Serviced Loan as to which such matter does not involve a Major Decision) or the applicable Special Servicer (with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan or any Non-Specially Serviced Loan as to which such matter involves a Major Decision), on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, shall (a) exercise any right it may have with respect to such Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan (x) to accelerate the payments thereon or (y) to withhold its consent to the creation of any additional lien or other encumbrance, consistent with the Servicing Standard or (b) waive its right to exercise such rights, provided that, if such matter is a Major Decision, (i) (A) if such Mortgage Loan is not an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder, no Control Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing and the matter involves a Major Decision, the consent (or deemed consent) of the Directing Certificateholder shall have been obtained by the Special Servicer to the extent required by, and pursuant to the process described under, Section 6.08(a), and (B) if such Mortgage Loan is not an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder, a Control Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing, and no Consultation Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the applicable Special Servicer shall have consulted with the Directing Certificateholder if and to the extent required pursuant to Section 6.08(a) and (C) if such Mortgage Loan is not an Excluded Loan as to the Risk Retention Consultation Party and (x) such Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan or (y) a Consultation Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the applicable Special Servicer shall have consulted with the Risk Retention Consultation Party if and to the extent required pursuant to Section 6.08(a) (provided that in the case of clause (A), clause (B) and clause (C) such consent shall be deemed given or such consultation shall be deemed to have occurred, as applicable, if a response to the request for consent or consultation, as the case may be, is not provided within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the applicable Special Servicer’s written recommendation and analysis and all information reasonably requested by the Directing Certificateholder or the Risk Retention Consultation Party, as applicable, and reasonably available to such Special Servicer in order to grant or withhold such consent or conduct such consultation), and (ii) such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as the case may be, has obtained Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency 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) if such Mortgage Loan (A) has an outstanding principal balance that is greater than or equal to 2% of the Stated Principal Balance of the outstanding Mortgage Loans or (B) has an LTV Ratio greater than 85% (including any existing and proposed debt) or (C) has a debt service coverage ratio less than 1.20x (in each case, determined based upon the aggregate of the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan and related Companion Loan, if any, and the principal amount of the proposed additional lien) or (D) is one of the ten largest Mortgage Loans (by Stated Principal Balance) or (E) has a Stated Principal Balance greater than $20,000,000; provided, however, that with respect to sub-clauses (A), (B), (C) and (D) of this sub-clause (ii), such Mortgage Loan shall also

 

    -219- 

     

    
have a Stated Principal Balance of at least $10,000,000 for such Rating Agency Confirmation requirement to apply. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder (regardless of whether a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing), the applicable 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.

 

With respect to any “due-on-encumbrance” matter described above that is a Major Decision related to any Mortgage Loan that is not an Excluded Loan with respect to the Risk Retention Consultation Party or the holder of the majority of the RR Interest, upon request of the Risk Retention Consultation Party, the applicable Special Servicer shall consult on a non-binding basis with the Risk Retention Consultation Party with respect to (i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, Specially Serviced Loans; and (ii) following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, all Mortgage Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, other than with respect to any transfer or assumptions provided for in clause (xiv) or (xvi) of the definition of “Master Servicer Decision” or any waiver of a “due-on-encumbrance” clause which waiver constitutes a Master Servicer Decision pursuant to clause (xiv), (xv) or (xvi) of the definition thereof), within the same time period as it would obtain the consent of, or consult with, the Directing Certificateholder with respect to such Major Decision.

 

In connection with any request for a Rating Agency Confirmation from a Rating Agency (or, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the related rating agencies) pursuant to this Section 3.08(b), the applicable Special Servicer shall (if not already provided in accordance with Section 3.25 of this Agreement) deliver a Review Package to the 17g-5 Information Provider (or, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the related 17g-5 information provider) 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 or in Section 3.08(a) 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 applicable Special Servicer 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.

 

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 contained in the related Mortgage Loan documents are satisfied where no mortgagee discretion is necessary in order to determine if such conditions are satisfied, then for so long as such Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan is being serviced under this Agreement, the applicable Master Servicer (with respect to all Non-Specially Serviced Loans) and the applicable Special Servicer (with respect to all Specially Serviced Loans), on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, shall determine whether such conditions have been satisfied.

 

    -220- 

     

    
After receiving a request for any matter described in Section 3.08(a) or this Section 3.08(b) that constitutes a consent or waiver with respect to a “due-on-sale” or “due-on-encumbrance” clause with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Specially Serviced Loan as to which such matter involves a Major Decision, the applicable Master Servicer shall promptly provide the applicable Special Servicer with written notice of any such request for such matter, and, unless the applicable Master Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer mutually agree that such Master Servicer shall process such request, such Special Servicer shall process such request (including, without limitation, interfacing with the Mortgagor) and such Master Servicer shall have no further obligation with regard to such request or due-on-sale or due-on-encumbrance. If the applicable Master Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer mutually agree that the applicable Master Servicer shall process such request, the applicable Master Servicer will be required to provide the applicable Special Servicer with such Master Servicer’s written recommendation and analysis, to the extent such Master Servicer is recommending approval, and all information in such Master Servicer’s possession that may be reasonably requested in order to grant or withhold such consent by the applicable Special Servicer or the Directing Certificateholder or other person with consent or consultation rights; provided that in the event that such Special Servicer does not respond within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such written recommendation and analysis and all such reasonably requested information, plus the time period provided to the Directing Certificateholder or other relevant party under this Agreement and, if applicable, any additional time period provided to a Companion Holder under a related Intercreditor Agreement, such Special Servicer’s consent to such matter shall be deemed granted.

 

(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 Servicers nor the Special Servicers 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 applicable Master Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, 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 (for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.25) 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)        [RESERVED].

 

(f)        For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer may waive its rights or grant its consent under any “due-on-sale” or “due-on-encumbrance” clause other than in compliance with the provisions of Section 3.08(a)

 

    -221- 

     

    
through (d) hereof or, with respect to an NCB Co-op Mortgage Loan, in compliance with the provisions of the following paragraph. In the case of a Special Servicer, no such waiver or consent that constitutes a Major Decision shall be made without (x) (i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder, the consent (or deemed consent) of the Directing Certificateholder having been obtained if and to the extent required by, and pursuant to the process described under Section 6.08(a), (y) (i) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event but prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder, after having consulted with the Directing Certificateholder if and to the extent required pursuant to Section 6.08(a) or (z) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Risk Retention Consultation Party, after having consulted with the Risk Retention Consultation Party if and to the extent required pursuant to Section 6.08(a).

 

(g)        Notwithstanding the foregoing, and regardless of whether a particular NCB Co-op Mortgage Loan contains specific provisions regarding the incurrence of subordinate debt, or prohibits the incurrence of subordinate debt, or requires the consent of the mortgagee in order to incur subordinate debt, the NCB Master Servicer may, nevertheless, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, without the need to obtain any consent or approval of, or to consult with, the Directing Certificateholder hereunder (and without the need to obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation), permit the related Mortgagor to incur subordinate debt if the NCB Subordinate Debt Conditions have been met; provided that, subject to the related Mortgage Loan documents and applicable law, the NCB Master Servicer shall not waive any right it has, or grant any consent it is otherwise entitled to withhold, in accordance with any related “due-on-encumbrance” clause under any Mortgage Loan, pursuant to this paragraph, unless in any such case, all associated costs and expenses are covered without any expense to the Trust.

 

(h)        Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.08, if a Master Servicer or a Special Servicer, as applicable, makes a determination under Section 3.08(a) or Section 3.08(b) 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 applicable 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 applicable Special Servicer. The applicable Special Servicer shall, subject to subsections (b) through (d) of this Section 3.09, Section 3.24, subject to the Directing Certificateholders’ and the Risk Retention Consultation Party’s respective 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

 

    -222- 

     

    
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 Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-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 applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer shall not be required to make a Servicing Advance and expend funds toward the restoration of such property unless such 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 such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as applicable, for such Servicing Advance, and such Master Servicer or such 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 applicable Special Servicer in any such proceedings shall be advanced by the applicable 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 a Master Servicer or a Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust, to make a bid on any Mortgaged Property at a foreclosure sale or similar proceeding that is in excess of the fair market value of such property, as determined by the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable 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 applicable Special Servicer or the applicable 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 bidding at foreclosure or otherwise, the applicable Special Servicer or the applicable 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 such Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance.

 

(b)        The applicable 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 such Special Servicer; or

 

(ii)        such Special Servicer shall have obtained an Opinion of Counsel (the cost of which shall be paid by the applicable 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.

 

(c)        Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.09 and Section 3.24, neither the applicable Master Servicer nor the applicable 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,

 

    -223- 

     

    
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 applicable 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 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 applicable 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 applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer from its 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 applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer and, with respect to Specially Serviced Loans, the applicable 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

 

    -224- 

     

    
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, in the case of a Serviced Mortgage Loan, any related 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 applicable 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, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder and after consultation with the Risk Retention Consultation Party pursuant to Section 6.08(a) (in each case, (A) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event (or with respect to any AB Mortgage Loan, after the occurrence and during the continuation of an AB Control Appraisal Period, but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event) and (B) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan as to such party) 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 applicable Special Servicer shall have notified the Rating Agencies, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the applicable Master Servicer, the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party ((A) in the case of the Directing Certificateholder, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event and (B) in the case of the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party, other than with respect to any Excluded Loan as to such party), 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 applicable 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 more than 50% 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 applicable 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)        Each Special Servicer shall provide written reports and a copy of any Environmental Assessments in electronic format to the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party (in each case, other than with respect to any Excluded Loan as to such party), the Master Servicers and the 17g-5 Information Provider monthly regarding any actions taken by such Special Servicer with respect to any Mortgaged Property securing a

 

    -225- 

     

    
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)        Each Special Servicer shall notify the applicable Master Servicer of any abandoned and/or foreclosed properties which require reporting to the Internal Revenue Service and shall provide such 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 such Master Servicer shall report to the Internal Revenue Service and the related Mortgagor, in the manner required by applicable law, such information and such 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 such Master Servicer by such Special Servicer. Upon request, the applicable Master Servicer shall deliver a copy of any such report to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator.

 

(g)        Each 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 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)        Each 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 and the Risk Retention Consultation Party (but in the case of the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party, other than with respect to any Excluded Loan as to such party) and the applicable Master Servicer and in no event later than the next succeeding P&I Advance Determination Date.

(a) Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), or the receipt by the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer or the applicable 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 applicable Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.04(a) or remitted to the applicable 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

 

    -226- 

     

    
applicable Master Servicer or the applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer or the applicable 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 Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) (and any related Companion Loan), the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer or the applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer or the applicable 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 applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer (or a designee), as the case may be, with the original being released upon termination of the Trust.

 

(c)        Within seven (7) Business Days (or within such shorter period as delivery can reasonably be accomplished if the applicable Special Servicer notifies the Trustee of an exigency) of receipt thereof, the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the applicable 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 applicable 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

 

    -227- 

     

    
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, each Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Servicing Fee with respect to each Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan and REO Loan (other than the portion of any REO Loan related to any Non-Serviced Companion Loan) (including Specially Serviced Loans and any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan constituting a “specially serviced loan” under any related Non-Serviced PSA) for which it acts as a master servicer. As to each Mortgage Loan, 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, Companion Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be, and in the same manner as interest is calculated on such Mortgage Loan, 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 Companion Loan or deemed to be due on such REO Loan is computed. The Servicing Fee with respect to any Mortgage Loan, 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 Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan and REO Revenues allocable as interest on each REO Loan, and as otherwise provided by Section 3.05(a). Each Master Servicer shall be entitled to recover unpaid Servicing Fees in respect of any applicable Mortgage Loan, 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 applicable Master Servicer’s duties and obligations hereunder to a successor servicer in accordance with the terms hereof). With respect to each Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, the Servicing Fee shall be payable to the applicable Master Servicer from amounts payable in respect of such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, subject to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement.

 

Each Master Servicer shall be entitled to retain, and shall not be required to deposit in its Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.04(a), additional servicing compensation (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) in the form of the following amounts to the extent collected from the related Mortgagor and any related Companion Loan for which it acts as Master Servicer: (i) 100% of Excess Modification Fees related to any modifications, waivers, extensions or amendments of any Non-Specially Serviced Loans (including any related Serviced Companion Loan, to the extent not prohibited by the related Intercreditor Agreement) that are Master Servicer Decisions; provided, that if any such matter involves a Major Decision (regardless of whether it relates to a Master Servicer Decision), then such Master Servicer shall

 

    -228- 

     

    
be entitled to 50% of such Excess Modification Fees, (ii) 100% of all assumption application fees and other similar items received on any Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) that are Non-Specially Serviced Loans (including any related Serviced Companion Loan, to the extent not prohibited by the related Intercreditor Agreement) to the extent the applicable Master Servicer is processing the underlying transaction and 100% of all defeasance fees (provided that for the avoidance of doubt, any such defeasance fee shall not include any Modification Fees in connection with a defeasance that the applicable Special Servicer is entitled to under this Agreement); and (iii) 100% of assumption, waiver, consent and earnout fees, and other similar fees (other than assumption application and defeasance fees) or other actions performed in connection with this Agreement on the Non-Specially Serviced Loans (including any related Serviced Companion Loan, to the extent not prohibited by the related Intercreditor Agreement) relating to Master Servicer Decisions; provided, that if any such matter involves a Major Decision (regardless of whether it relates to a Master Servicer Decision), then such Master Servicer shall be entitled to 50% of such assumption, waiver, consent and earnout fees and other similar fees. In addition, the applicable Master Servicer shall be entitled to charge and retain as additional servicing compensation (other than with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) any charges for beneficiary statements or demands (to the extent such beneficiary statements or demands are prepared by the applicable Master Servicer) and other customary charges, amounts collected for checks returned for insufficient funds (relating to the accounts held by such applicable Master Servicer) and reasonable review fees in connection with any Mortgagor request to the extent such review fees are not prohibited under the related Mortgage Loan documents, in each case only to the extent actually paid by or on behalf of the related Mortgagor and shall not be required to deposit such amounts in its Collection Account or the Companion Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.04(a) or Section 3.04(b), respectively. Subject to Section 3.11(d), the applicable Master Servicer shall also be entitled to additional servicing compensation in the form of: (i) Penalty Charges to the extent provided in Section 3.11(d), (ii) interest or other income earned on deposits relating to the Trust Fund in its 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), (iii) interest or other income earned on deposits in its Servicing Accounts which are not required by applicable law or the related Mortgage Loan to be paid to the Mortgagor, and (iv) the difference, if positive, between Prepayment Interest Excesses and Prepayment Interest Shortfalls collected on the 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. The applicable Master 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 due and owing to any of its Sub-Servicers and the premiums for any blanket Insurance Policy insuring against hazard losses pursuant to Section 3.07), if and to the extent such expenses are not payable directly out of its Collection Account and the applicable Master 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 applicable Master Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer are entitled to receive a portion thereof (other than a split fee with respect to Penalty Charges), such Master Servicer and such Special Servicer shall each have the right in their sole discretion, but not any obligation, to reduce or elect not to charge

 

    -229- 

     

    
its respective portion of such fee; provided, that (A) neither the applicable Master Servicer nor the applicable 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 of the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer decides not to charge any fee (other than Penalty Charges), the applicable Special Servicer shall nevertheless be entitled to charge its portion of the related fee to which such Special Servicer would have been entitled if such Master Servicer had charged a fee and such Master Servicer will not be entitled to any of such fee charged by such Special Servicer. Similarly, if the applicable Special Servicer decides not to charge any fee (other than Penalty Charges), the applicable Master Servicer shall nevertheless be entitled to charge its portion of the related fee to which such Master Servicer would have been entitled if such Special Servicer had charged a fee and such Special Servicer shall not be entitled to any portion of such fee charged by such Master Servicer.

 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association and National Cooperative Bank, N.A. may, at its option, assign or pledge to any third party or retain for itself the Transferable Servicing Interest with respect to any Mortgage Loan and any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (and any successor REO Loan) for which it acts as Master Servicer; provided, however, that in the event of any resignation or termination of such Master Servicer, all or any portion of the Transferable Servicing Interest may be reduced by the Trustee to the extent reasonably necessary (in the sole discretion of the Trustee) for the Trustee to obtain a qualified successor master servicer that meets the requirements of Section 6.05 and who requires market-rate servicing compensation that accrues at a per annum rate in excess of the Retained Fee Rate, and any such assignment of the Transferable Servicing Interest shall, by its terms be expressly subject to the terms of this Agreement and such reduction. The applicable Master Servicer shall pay the Transferable Servicing Interest to the holder of the Transferable Servicing Interest at such time and to the extent such Master Servicer is entitled to receive payment of its Servicing Fees hereunder, notwithstanding any resignation or termination of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as General Master Servicer or National Cooperative Bank, N.A. as NCB Master Servicer, as applicable, hereunder (subject to reduction pursuant to the preceding sentence).

 

A Liquidation Fee shall be payable to each Master Servicer with respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) with respect to which such Master Servicer is acting as Enforcing Servicer and obtains Liquidation Proceeds described in clauses (iv) or (vii) of the definition thereof.

 

(b)        As compensation for its activities hereunder, each Special Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Special Servicing Fee with respect to each Specially Serviced Loan and REO Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and any REO Loan relating to a Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property). 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

 

    -230- 

     

    
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. The Special Servicing Fee with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan or REO Loan shall cease to accrue if a Liquidation Event occurs with respect to the related Mortgage Loan. The Special Servicing Fee shall be payable monthly, on a loan-by-loan basis, in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.05(a). The right to receive the Special Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of all of the applicable Special Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement. The Special Servicers shall not be entitled to any Special Servicing Fees with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan.

 

(c)        Each Special Servicer shall be entitled to additional servicing compensation in the form of

 

(i)         100% of all Excess Modification Fees related to modifications, waivers, extensions or amendments of any Specially Serviced Loans,

 

(ii)        100% of all assumption application fees and other similar items received with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and 100% of all assumption application fees and other similar items received with respect to Mortgage Loans (other than Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) and Serviced Companion Loans that are Non-Specially Serviced Loans to the extent such Special Servicer processes the underlying transaction,

 

(iii)       100% of waiver, consent and earnout fees, or other actions performed in connection with this Agreement on the Specially Serviced Loans or certain other similar fees paid by the related Mortgagor on Specially Serviced Loans,

 

(iv)       100% of assumption fees and other similar fees received with respect to Specially Serviced Loans,

 

(v)        50% of all Excess Modification Fees and assumption, waiver, consent and earnout fees and other similar fees (other than assumption application fees and defeasance fees) received with respect to any Mortgage Loans (other than Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans, but including any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s)) that are Non-Specially Serviced Loans to the extent that the matter involves a Major Decision,

 

(vi)       with respect to the accounts held by such applicable Special Servicer, 100% of charges by such Special Servicer collected for checks returned for insufficient funds, and

 

(vii)      100% of charges for beneficiary statements and demand charges actually paid by the Mortgagors to the extent such beneficiary statements or demand charges are prepared by the applicable Special Servicer,

 

shall be promptly paid to the applicable Special Servicer by the applicable Master Servicer (or directly from the related Mortgagor) to the extent such fees are paid by the Mortgagor and shall not be required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.04(a). Subject to Section 3.11(d), the applicable Special Servicer shall also be entitled to additional servicing compensation in the form of: (i) Penalty Charges to the extent provided in Section 3.11(d) and

 

    -231- 

     

    
(ii) interest or other income earned on deposits relating to the Trust Fund in the REO Account and Loss of Value Reserve Fund 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 such Distribution Date). In addition, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to 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. Each 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, however, that after receipt by the applicable 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 applicable Special Servicer; provided, further, however, 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 applicable 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) being 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 again becomes a Corrected Loan. The Special Servicers shall not be entitled to any Workout Fee with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan. If the applicable 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 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 applicable 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 (3) consecutive timely Periodic Payments and which subsequently becomes a Corrected Loan as a result of the Mortgagor making such three (3) consecutive timely Periodic Payments. The successor special servicer will not be entitled to any portion of such Workout Fees. The applicable Special Servicer will not be entitled to receive any Workout Fees after termination for cause. A Liquidation Fee will be payable to the Special Servicer with respect to (a) each Non-Specially Serviced Loan with respect to which the Special Servicer acts as the Enforcing Servicer, (b) each Specially Serviced Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), (c) each REO Property (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) as to which the applicable Special Servicer receives any Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds and (d) each Mortgage Loan

 

    -232- 

     

    
repurchased by a Mortgage Loan Seller or for which a Loss of Value Payment was paid, 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 applicable 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, a 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(b), each Special Servicer will also be entitled to additional fees in the form of Penalty Charges. The applicable 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 applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer are entitled to receive a portion thereof (other than a split fee with respect to Penalty Charges), the applicable Master Servicer and the applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer nor the applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer or the applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer decides not to charge any fee (other than Penalty Charges), the applicable Special Servicer shall nevertheless be entitled to charge its portion of the related fee to which the applicable Special Servicer would have been entitled if the applicable Master Servicer had charged a fee and the applicable Master Servicer will not be entitled to any of such fee charged by the applicable Special Servicer. Similarly, if the applicable Special Servicer decides not to charge any fee (other than Penalty Charges), the applicable Master Servicer shall nevertheless be entitled to charge its portion of the related fee to which the applicable Master Servicer would have been entitled if the applicable Special Servicer had charged a fee and the applicable Special Servicer shall not be entitled to any portion of such fee charged by the applicable Master Servicer.

 

(d)       In determining the compensation of the Master Servicers or the Special Servicers, as applicable, with respect to Penalty Charges, on any Distribution Date, the aggregate

 

    -233- 

     

    
Penalty Charges collected on any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Companion Loan since the prior Distribution Date shall be applied (in such order) to reimburse (i) the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer or the Trustee for interest on Advances on such Mortgage Loan or related 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 applicable Master Servicer or the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(vi) (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 (including Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees and Liquidation Fees), including without limitation, inspections by the applicable Special Servicer and all unpaid Advances incurred since the Closing Date with respect to such Mortgage 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 applicable 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 applicable 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 Servicers and the Special Servicers shall be distributed between the applicable Master Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer, on a pro rata basis, based on such Master Servicer’s and such Special Servicer’s respective entitlements to such compensation described in the previous sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else herein to the contrary, 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).

 

If a Servicing Shift Whole Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan prior to the applicable Servicing Shift Securitization Date, the applicable Special Servicer shall service and administer such Servicing Shift Whole Loan and any related REO Property in the same manner as any other Specially Serviced Loan or Serviced REO Property and shall be entitled to all rights and compensation earned with respect to such Serviced Whole Loan as the applicable Special Servicer of such Serviced Whole Loan. With respect to a Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan, prior to the applicable 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 applicable Servicing Shift Securitization Date, the Non-Serviced Special Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer shall be entitled to compensation with respect to such Servicing Shift Whole Loan as if such Special Servicer were being terminated as the Special Servicer with respect to such Servicing Shift Whole Loan and the Non-Serviced Special Servicer were replacing such Special Servicer as the successor Special Servicer with respect to such Servicing Shift Whole Loan.

(e)        With respect to each Distribution Date, each Special Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the applicable Master Servicer within two (2) Business Days following the Determination Date, and such 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 applicable Special Servicer) that discloses and contains an itemized listing of any Disclosable Special Servicer Fees received by the applicable 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)        Each 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, 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 Servicers in writing at least two Business Days prior to the Remittance Date) the CREFC® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee on a monthly basis. Each Master Servicer shall withdraw from its Collection Account and, to the extent sufficient funds are on deposit therein, pay the CREFC® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee to CREFC® in accordance with Section 3.05(a)(xii) on a monthly basis, from funds on deposit in its Collection Account.

 

Section 3.12   
Inspections; Collection of Financial Statements; Delivery of Reports. (a) Each 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 Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, an REO Loan or a Specially Serviced Loan) for which it is acting as
Master Servicer with a Stated Principal Balance of (i) $2,000,000 or more at least once every twelve (12) months and (ii) less

Property shall be inspected on or prior to December 31, 2022); provided, however, that if a physical inspection
has been performed by the applicable Special Servicer in the previous twelve (12) months, such Master Servicer will not be required
to perform, or cause to be performed, such physical inspection; provided, further, that if any scheduled payment
becomes more than sixty (60) days delinquent on the related Mortgage Loan, the applicable 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 a

(e)        Each Special Servicer shall deliver to the applicable Master Servicer the reports and information required of such Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.11(e), Section 3.12(b) and Section 3.12(c), and such Master Servicer shall deliver or make available to the Certificate Administrator the reports and data files set forth in Section 3.12(d). Each Master Servicer may, absent manifest error, conclusively rely on the reports and/or data to be provided by the applicable Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.11(e), 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 applicable Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12(d). In the case of information or reports to be furnished by the applicable 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 applicable 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 applicable Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.11(e), Section 3.12(b) or Section 3.12(c), the applicable 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 applicable Special Servicer, and the applicable 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 applicable Special Servicer’s failure to timely provide any information or report required under Section 3.11(e), Section 3.12(b) or Section 3.12(c) of this Agreement.

 

(f)        Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, the failure of a Master Servicer or a 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 such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer so fails because such disclosure, in the reasonable belief of such Master Servicer or such 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. A Master Servicer and a 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. A Master Servicer or a 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).

 

(g)        Unless otherwise specifically stated herein, if a Master Servicer or a Special Servicer is required to deliver any statement, report or information under any provisions of this Agreement, such Master Servicer or such 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 such Master Servicer’s website (with respect to items delivered by such Master Servicer (except with respect to items delivered by such Master Servicer to the Certificate Administrator)) or the Certificate Administrator’s Website, unless this Agreement expressly specifies a particular method of delivery.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, each Master Servicer and each Special Servicer shall deliver any required statements, reports or other information to the Certificate Administrator in an electronic format mutually agreeable to the Certificate

 

    -241- 

     

    

 

Administrator and the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be. The applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer may physically deliver a paper copy of any such statement, report 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 Master Servicer and 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 applicable Master
Servicer, the applicable 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 such Master Servicer, such 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 a Master Servicer or a 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 Servicers and Special Servicers 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 applicable Master Servicer’s or the applicable 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 a Master Servicer or a 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 such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as the case may be, determines, in its reasonable good faith judgment consistent with the applicable Servicing Standard, that such

 

    -242- 

     

    

 

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, a Master Servicer or a Special Servicer may refrain from disclosing information that it reasonably determines would prejudice the interests 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 AB Subordinate Companion Loan related to a Serviced AB Whole Loan, the holder of such AB Subordinate Companion Loan) that has delivered an Investor Certification to the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, the applicable Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans) or the applicable Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans), as applicable, may provide (or make available electronically) or make available at the expense of such Certificateholder or holder of such AB Subordinate Companion Loan, as applicable, copies of any appraisals, operating statements, rent rolls (or, with respect to residential cooperative properties, maintenance schedules) 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 an AB Subordinate Companion Loan, as the case may be) obtained by the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be; provided that, in connection with such request, such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as applicable, may require a written confirmation executed by the requesting Person substantially in such form as may be reasonably acceptable to such Master Servicer or such 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 AB 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 (except, with respect to a Mortgage Loan Seller, to the extent necessary for such party to comply with its obligations under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, and except for the Master Servicers and the Certificate Administrator, acting in such capacities) or beneficial 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:

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 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 applicable 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, such 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 such 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 Accounts pursuant
to Section 3.05(a).

 

(b)        Each 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 applicable 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 applicable Special Servicer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, in the REO Account, within two (2) Business Days after receipt of properly identified 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 applicable Special Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, and the applicable 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 applicable 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 or prior to each Determination Date (or with respect to a Serviced Companion Loan, on the Business Day preceding each Serviced Whole Loan Remittance Date), the applicable Special Servicer shall withdraw from the REO Account and remit to the applicable Master Servicer, which shall deposit into the applicable Collection Account (or the Companion Distribution Account, as applicable), the aggregate of all amounts received in respect of each REO Property during the most recently ended Collection Period, 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, however, that such 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 applicable Special Servicer remits funds as provided in this Section 3.14(c), the applicable Special Servicer shall provide the applicable Master Servicer with a written accounting of amounts remitted to such Master Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account, as applicable, on such date. Such Master Servicer shall apply all such amounts as instructed by such Special Servicer on the Determination Date (or with respect to a Serviced Companion Loan, on each Serviced Whole Loan Remittance Date) for the related Distribution Date.

 

(d)       The applicable 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 applicable 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 applicable 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 pari passu nature of any Companion Loan, as the case may
be) (as determined by the applicable 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 applicable Special Servicer may allow the Trust or any

 

    -257- 

     

    

 

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 earning such income is in the best interests of Certificateholders
and, if applicable, any related Companion Holder(s) on a net after-tax basis as compared with net leasing such REO Property or
operating such REO Property on a different basis. In connection therewith, the applicable 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
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 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 applicable Master Servicer (subject to receiving notice from the applicable 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 applicable Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator and the Directing Certificateholder (with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder, and prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event)) such advances would, if made, constitute Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances.

 

(b)        Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Special Servicer shall:

 

(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

 

    -258- 

     

    

 

(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 applicable Special Servicer has obtained an Opinion of Counsel (the cost of which shall be paid by the applicable 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 applicable Special Servicer may take such actions as are specified in such Opinion of Counsel.

 

(c)        Each 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 applicable 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 applicable Special Servicer of any of its duties and obligations hereunder with respect to the operation and management of any such REO Property; and

 

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

 

Each 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 applicable 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, each Special Servicer shall send to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the applicable Master Servicer a statement prepared by such 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 Section 3.15(a) and Section 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 applicable 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, however, that if the applicable Special Servicer is then in the process of obtaining
an Appraisal with respect to the related Mortgaged Property, such 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 applicable
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 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 applicable Special Servicer shall
promptly notify the applicable 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 applicable Special Servicer (with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan) or the applicable 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 applicable 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 maximize the value of the Defaulted Loan on a net present value basis, if and when the applicable 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 a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the extent permitted under the related Intercreditor Agreement, and such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is not sold together with the Non-Serviced Companion Loan by the Non-Serviced Special Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer will be entitled to sell ((i) with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder if no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and (ii) after consulting with the Risk Retention Consultation Party pursuant to Section 6.08(a),

 

    -260- 

     

    

 

in each case, provided such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is not an Excluded Loan as to such party) 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 (and provided that the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer will not be entitled to a liquidation fee), the applicable Special Servicer will 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. Each Special Servicer is required to give the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the applicable Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party (in the case of the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party, other than in respect of any Excluded Loan as to such 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 applicable Special Servicer may purchase the Defaulted Loan for the Purchase Price or may accept the first cash offer received from any Person that constitutes a fair price for the Defaulted Loan.

 

(iv)       (A) In the case of a Specially Serviced Loan as to which a default has occurred and is continuing, in the absence of any offer at least equal to the Purchase Price pursuant to clause (iii) above (or purchase by the applicable Special Servicer for such price), the applicable Special Servicer shall solicit offers and, subject to sub-clause (B) below, accept the highest offer received from any Person that is determined by such 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 offer from a Person other than an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for any Defaulted Loan, the applicable Special Servicer shall take into account (in addition to the results of any Appraisal, updated Appraisal or narrative appraisal that it may have obtained pursuant to this Agreement within the prior 9 months), 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 offeror is an Interested Person (provided that the Trustee may not be an offeror), 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 two other offers are received from independent third parties. In determining whether any offer received from an Interested Person represents a fair price for any such Defaulted Loan, the Trustee shall 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 applicable 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 must (at the expense of the Interested Person)

 

    -261- 

     

    

 

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 applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance but the applicable 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.

 

(B)       The applicable Special Servicer will not be obligated to accept the highest offer if the applicable Special Servicer determines (in consultation with the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party, subject to the limitations on consultation set forth in and in accordance with Section 6.08(b) (in each case, unless a Consultation Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing and other than with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is an Excluded Loan as to such party) 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). In addition, the applicable Special Servicer may accept a lower offer from any Person other than an Affiliate of such Special Servicer if it determines, 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) (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 applicable Special Servicer or a Person that is an Affiliate of such Special Servicer. The applicable 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,

 

    -262- 

     

    

 

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 applicable Special Servicer shall pursue such other resolution strategies with respect to such Specially Serviced Loan, including, without limitation, workout and foreclosure, as the applicable Special Servicer may deem appropriate, consistent with the Asset Status Report and the Servicing Standard and the REMIC Provisions.

 

(b)        (i) The applicable 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 applicable 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 applicable 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. Each Special Servicer shall give the Trustee, the applicable Master Servicer, each Companion Holder, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party ((A) in the case of the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party, in respect of any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan as to such party and (B) in the case of the Directing Certificateholder, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice of the Purchase Price and its intention to (i) purchase any REO Property at the Purchase Price therefor or (ii) sell any REO Property, in which case such 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 applicable Master Servicer, an Affiliate of the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer or an Affiliate of such 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.

 

(ii)        In the absence of any such offer as set forth in sub-clause (A) above, the applicable Special Servicer shall, subject to sub-clause (C) below, accept the highest offer for such REO Property received from any Person that is determined to be a fair price (1) by such Special Servicer, if the highest offeror is a Person other than an Interested Person, or (2) by the Trustee, if the highest offeror 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, however, 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.

 

    -263- 

     

    

 

(iii)       The Special Servicers shall not be obligated by either of the foregoing paragraphs or otherwise to accept the highest offer if such Special Servicer determines, 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 nature of any Serviced Companion Loans). In addition, such 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 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 applicable Special Servicer or a Person that is an Affiliate of such Special Servicer.

 

(iv)       In determining whether any offer received from an Interested Person represents a fair price for any REO Property, the Trustee shall obtain and may 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 applicable Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance but the applicable 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 applicable 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.

 

(v)        Subject to the Servicing Standard, the applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor 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 Servicers, the Special

 

    -264- 

     

    

 

Servicers, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor 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 applicable 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 Pari Passu Whole Loan, pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, if the related Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan becomes a Defaulted Loan, and if the applicable Special Servicer determines to sell the related Mortgage Loan that has become a Defaulted Loan in accordance with this Section 3.16, then the applicable Special Servicer shall sell the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan together with such Mortgage Loan as one whole loan and shall require that all offers be submitted to such Special Servicer in writing. 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 applicable Special Servicer unless the offeror is an Interested Person and by the Trustee if the offeror is an Interested Person and the offer is less than the Purchase Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the applicable 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 applicable 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 amendments to such bid packages) received by the applicable 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; 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 and the Risk Retention Consultation Party) 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 applicable Master Servicer or the applicable 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

 

    -265- 

     

    

 

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 applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance but the applicable 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, with respect to each Serviced AB Whole Loan, pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement, the related Subordinate Companion Holder will have the right to purchase the related Mortgage Loan or related REO Property, as applicable. Such right of such Subordinate Companion Holder 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 such Subordinate Companion Holder, repurchased by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller or otherwise ceases to be subject to this Agreement, the related AB 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 applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer has the right to purchase any Companion Loan on behalf of the Trust pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement, neither such Master Servicer nor such Special Servicer shall exercise such right.

 

Section 3.17   
Additional Obligations of Master Servicers and Special Servicers.  (a) Each Master Servicer shall deliver all
Compensating Interest Payments with respect to the Mortgage Loans for which it acts as Master Servicer (other than the portion
of any Compensating Interest Payment allocated to a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) 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. Each 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)        Each Master Servicer or each Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide to each applicable Companion Holder any reports or notices required to be delivered to such Companion Holder pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement.

 

(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 Accounts and available for distribution on the next Distribution Date, the applicable 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 refrain from obtaining such reimbursement for such portion of the Nonrecoverable Advance during the one month collection period ending on then-current Determination Date, for successive one-month periods for a total period not to exceed twelve (12) months (provided that, with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class, 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 applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer or the Trustee to refrain from the reimbursement of a particular Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof during the Collection Period for any Distribution Date, the applicable Master Servicer or the Trustee shall further be authorized to wait for principal collections on the Mortgage Loans serviced by such Master Servicer to be received until the end of such Collection Period before making its determination of whether to refrain from the reimbursement of a particular Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof; provided, however, that if, at any time the applicable Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, elects, in its sole discretion, not to refrain from obtaining 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 applicable Collection Account for such Distribution Date, then such Master 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 applicable Master 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 applicable Master 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) in the case of a Master Servicer, it has not timely

 

    -267- 

     

    

 

received from the Trustee information required by such Master Servicer 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 applicable 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 in no way affect the applicable Master Servicer’s or the Trustee’s election whether to refrain from obtaining such reimbursement or right to obtain such reimbursement as described in this Section 3.17(c). Nothing herein shall give the applicable 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 applicable Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(v). The applicable Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, 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 3.17(c) or to comply with the terms of this Section 3.17(c) and the other provisions of this Agreement that apply once such an election, if any, has been made; provided, however, 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 applicable Master Servicer or the applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, determines, in its sole discretion, to fully recover the Nonrecoverable Advances immediately instead of deferring such reimbursement, then such Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to immediate reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances with interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate from all amounts in the applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer’s or the Trustee’s, as the case may be, 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 such Master 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 such Master 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 applicable Master Servicer, the Trustee or the other parties to this Agreement shall have any liability to one another or to any of the Certificateholders or any of the Companion Holders for any such election that such party makes as contemplated by this Section 3.17(c) or for any losses, damages or other adverse economic or other effects that may

 

    -268- 

     

    

 

arise from such an election, nor shall such election constitute a violation of the Servicing Standard or any duty under this Agreement. Neither the applicable Master 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 a Master 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 applicable Master Servicer (or the Trustee, as applicable) to subordinate (in respect of realizing losses), to any Class of Certificates, such party’s right to such reimbursement during such period of deferral.

 

With respect to any modification or amendment of any Intercreditor Agreement related to a Serviced Whole Loan (to the extent received), the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, 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 applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, 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) The applicable Special Servicer shall process waivers, modifications,
amendments and consents with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and all such matters that involve a Major Decision for all Mortgage
Loans (and any related Serviced Companion Loan) that are Non-Specially Serviced Loans, and the applicable Master Servicer shall
process waivers, modifications, amendments and consents with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage
Loan) and any related Serviced Companion Loan that, in either case, is not a Specially Serviced Loan and does not involve a Major
Decision. The applicable Master Servicer and applicable Special Servicer may mutually agree that a modification, waiver, amendment
or consent that constitutes a Major Decision shall be processed by the applicable Master Servicer, subject to the applicable Special
Servicer’s consent. Except as set forth in Section 3.08(a), Section 3.08(b), this Section 3.18(a), Section 3.18(d),
Section 3.18(h), Section 3.18(i), Section 3.18(m) and

Section 6.08, but subject to any other conditions set forth thereunder and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or any Serviced Whole Loan (and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, subject to the rights of the related Companion Holder, as applicable, to advise or consult with the applicable Master Servicer or applicable Special Servicer with respect to, or to consent to, a modification, waiver or amendment, in each case, pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement), the applicable Special Servicer shall not modify, waive or amend the terms of a Mortgage Loan and/or related Companion Loan (and the applicable Special Servicer shall not consent to any such modification, waiver or amendment by the applicable Master Servicer) that would constitute a Major Decision without (x) (i) prior to the occurrence of a Control Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder, the consent (or deemed consent) of the Directing Certificateholder having been obtained by the applicable Special Servicer to the extent required by, and pursuant to the process described under, Section 6.08(a) or (y) (i) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder, but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the applicable Special Servicer having consulted with the Directing Certificateholder if and to the extent required pursuant to Section 6.08(a); and provided, further, that no extension entered into pursuant to this Section 3.18(a) shall extend the Maturity Date beyond the earlier of (i) five (5) years prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date and (ii) in the case of a Mortgage Loan secured solely or primarily by a leasehold estate and not also the related fee interest, the date twenty (20) years or, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard giving due consideration to the remaining term of the Ground Lease, ten (10) years, prior to the expiration of such leasehold estate. If such extension 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, (1) the applicable Special Servicer shall provide the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the applicable Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party (in the case of the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party, (i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is an Excluded Loan as to such party), 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, (x) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and other than with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder, the applicable Special Servicer shall obtain the consent (or deemed consent) of the Directing Certificateholder, (y) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, and other than with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder, consult with the Directing Certificateholder and (z) (i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan other than an Excluded Loan

 

    -270- 

     

    

 

with respect to the Risk Retention Consultation Party and (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan with respect to the Risk Retention Consultation Party, consult with the Risk Retention Consultation Party, in each case, pursuant to the process described in Section 6.08(a).

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to the rights of the related Companion Holder to advise the applicable Master Servicer with respect to, or consent to, such modification, waiver or amendment pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement, the applicable Master Servicer, with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans, without the consent of the applicable Special Servicer or the Directing Certificateholder, may modify or amend the terms of any Non-Specially Serviced Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan in order to (i) cure any ambiguity or mistake therein or (ii) correct or supplement any provisions therein which may be inconsistent with any other provisions therein or correct any error; provided that, if the Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and/or related Serviced Companion Loan is not in default or default with respect thereto is not reasonably foreseeable, such modification or amendment 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).

 

Subject to Section 6.08, applicable law and the Mortgage Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan documents, neither the applicable Master Servicer nor the applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, 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 applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, 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).

 

Upon receiving a request for any matter described in this Section 3.18(a) that constitutes a Major Decision with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Specially Serviced Loan, the applicable Master Servicer shall forward such request to the applicable Special Servicer and, unless the applicable Master Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer mutually agree that such Master Servicer shall process such request, such Special Servicer shall process such request (including, without limitation, interfacing with the Mortgagor) and, except as

 

    -271- 

     

    

 

provided in the next sentence, such Master Servicer shall have no further obligation with respect to such request or the Major Decision. With respect to such request, the applicable Master Servicer shall continue to cooperate with the applicable Special Servicer by delivering any additional information in the applicable Master Servicer’s possession to the applicable Special Servicer requested by the applicable Special Servicer relating to such Major Decision. The applicable Master Servicer shall not be required to interface with the Mortgagor or provide a written recommendation and/or analysis with respect to any Major Decision. If the applicable Master Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer mutually agree that such Master Servicer will (subject to the consent (or deemed consent) of such Special Servicer) process a request with respect to a Major Decision and such Master Servicer is recommending approval of such request, such Master Servicer will prepare and submit its written analysis and recommendation to such Special Servicer with all information in the possession of such Master Servicer that such Special Servicer may reasonably request in order to withhold or grant its consent, and in all cases such Special Servicer will be entitled (subject to any applicable consultation rights of the Operating Advisor or any applicable consent or consultation rights of the Directing Certificateholder or any applicable consultation rights of any related Companion Holders) to approve or disapprove any modification, waiver, amendment or other action that constitutes a Major Decision. In addition, the applicable Master Servicer shall provide the applicable Special Servicer with any notice that it receives relating to a default by the Mortgagor under a Ground Lease where the collateral for the Mortgage Loan is the Ground Lease, and such Special Servicer will determine in accordance with the Servicing Standard whether the Trust as lender should cure any Mortgagor defaults relating to Ground Leases. Any costs relating to any such cure of a Mortgagor default relating to a Ground Lease shall be paid by the applicable Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance.

 

Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall enter into, or structure (including, without limitation, by way of the application of credits, discounts, forgiveness or otherwise), any modification, waiver, amendment, work-out, consent or approval with respect to a Mortgage Loan in a manner that would be inconsistent with the allocation and payment priorities set forth in Section 3.02(b) or in the related Intercreditor Agreement.

 

(b)        If the applicable 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 the Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-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 applicable Special Servicer’s judgment, reasonably foreseeable (as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of such 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 applicable Special Servicer may agree to a modification, waiver or amendment of such Specially Serviced Loan, subject to (w) the provisions of this Section 3.18(b) and Section 3.18(c), (x) (a) the approval of the Directing Certificateholder with respect to any Major Decision, with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than any Excluded Loan as to such party (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event or after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination

 

    -272- 

     

    

 

Event, but prior to the occurrence and
continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, upon consultation with the Directing Certificateholder) as provided in Section
6.08, and (b) with respect to any Major Decision in respect of a Specially Serviced Loan other than an Excluded Loan with
respect to the Risk Retention Consultation Party, upon consultation with the Risk Retention Consultation Party as provided in Section
6.08, and (y) with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan, any rights of the related Subordinate Companion Holder to
consent to such modification, waiver or amendment and (z) additionally, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, the rights of
the related Serviced Companion Noteholder or with respect to a Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) with
mezzanine debt, the rights of the related mezzanine lender, to advise or consult with the applicable 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 with respect to any
Serviced AB Whole Loan, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a related AB Control Appraisal Period, the related
Serviced AB Whole Loan Controlling Holder will be required to the extent set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement and
the Directing Certificateholder shall have no consent or consultation rights, and the Risk Retention Consultation Party shall
have no consultation rights, regarding the matter; provided, further, that in the case of any release or
substitution of collateral (other than a defeasance), the applicable Special Servicer shall have obtained an Opinion of
Counsel that such release or substitution would not be a “significant modification” of 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 with respect to the Directing Certificateholder (regardless of
whether a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing), the applicable 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 (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 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 applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, 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 calculated is greater than 125%, the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall require payment of principal by a “qualified amount” as determined under Revenue Procedure 2010-30 or successor provisions, unless the related Mortgagor provides an Opinion of

 

    -273- 

     

    

 

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.

 

The applicable Special Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to the extent possible to cause each Specially Serviced Loan to fully amortize prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date and shall not agree to a modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Specially Serviced Loan for which it is acting as special servicer if such modification, waiver or amendment would (1) extend the maturity date of any such Specially Serviced Loan to a date occurring later than the earlier of (a) five (5) years prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date and (b) if such Specially Serviced Loan is secured solely or primarily by a leasehold estate and not also 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) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder and (B) to the extent such modification, waiver or amendment constitutes a Major Decision, after consultation with the Risk Retention Consultation Party pursuant to Section 6.08(a), (in each case, other than with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is an Excluded Loan as to such party), ten (10) years prior to the expiration of such leasehold estate (including any options to extend such leasehold estate exercisable unilaterally by the related Mortgagor), or (2) provide for the deferral of interest unless interest accrues on the related Mortgage Loan, or Serviced Whole Loan generally at the related Mortgage Rate.

 

(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 any 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, the first sentence of Section 3.18(a), and Section 6.08), the applicable Master Servicer (as provided in Section 3.08(a), Section 3.08(b) and Section 3.18 if such matter constitutes a Master Servicer Decision) or the applicable Special Servicer (as provided in Section 3.08(a), Section 3.08(b) and Section 3.18(a) if any such waiver, modification or amendment constitutes a Major Decision or relates to a Specially Serviced Loan) 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 the 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 applicable Master Servicer or the

 

    -274- 

     

    

 

applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer nor the applicable 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.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, such 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 such 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, however, 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 applicable 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 applicable 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, however, that no such confirmation from any Rating Agency shall be required to the extent that the applicable 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:

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 applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer reasonably determines that allowing their use would not cause a default or event of default to become reasonably foreseeable and the applicable 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; and provided, further, that the requirements set forth in Section 3.18(h) (including receipt of any Rating Agency Confirmation) are satisfied; and provided, further, that such securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government, or the applicable 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 (i) all of the Mortgage Loans originated or acquired by Bank of America, National Association that are subject to defeasance and (ii) all of the Mortgage Loans originated or acquired by Morgan Stanley Mortgage Capital Holdings LLC that are subject to defeasance, each of Bank of America, National Association and Morgan Stanley Mortgage Capital Holdings LLC, as applicable, has transferred to a third party or has retained on behalf of itself or an Affiliate the related Retained Defeasance Rights and Obligations. In the event the General Master Servicer receives notice of a defeasance request with respect to a Mortgage Loan for which Bank of America, National Association or Morgan Stanley Mortgage Capital Holdings LLC, as applicable, is the related Mortgage Loan Seller, which such Mortgage Loan provides for Retained Defeasance Rights and Obligations in the related Mortgage Loan documents, the General Master Servicer shall provide, within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such notice, written notice of such defeasance request to Bank of

(j)         If required under the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan documents or if otherwise consistent with the Servicing Standard, the applicable Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (the “Defeasance Accounts”), which shall be Eligible Accounts, into which all payments received by such Master Servicer from any defeasance collateral substituted for any Mortgaged Property shall be deposited and retained, and shall administer such Defeasance Accounts in accordance with the Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the applicable Master Servicer permit such amounts to be maintained in the Defeasance Account for a period in excess of ninety (90) days, unless such amounts are reinvested by such Master Servicer in “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). To the extent not required or permitted to be placed in a separate account, the applicable Master Servicer shall deposit all payments received by it from defeasance collateral substituted for any Mortgaged Property into the Collection Account and treat any such payments as payments made on the Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan in advance of its Due Date in accordance with clause (a)(i) of the definition of “Aggregate Available Funds” and not as a prepayment of the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan.

(m)       Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 3.18 or Section 3.08, but subject to any related Intercreditor Agreement, the applicable Master Servicer may, without any Directing Certificateholder approval, consent or consultation (except as otherwise provided below in the definition of Master Servicer Decision), Risk Retention Consultation Party consultation or the applicable Special Servicer’s approval, consent or consultation take any of the following actions with respect to Mortgage Loans that are not Specially Serviced Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loans (each such action, a “Master Servicer Decision”): (i) grant waivers of non-material covenant defaults (other than financial covenants) including late (but not waived) financial statements (except that, other than with respect to any NCB Co-op Mortgage Loan or any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the holder of the majority of the Controlling Class, and prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder’s consent (or deemed consent) shall be required to grant waivers of more than 3 consecutive late deliveries of financial statements); (ii) consents to releases of non-material, non-income producing parcels of a Mortgaged Property that do not materially affect the use or value of the related Mortgaged Property or the ability of the related Mortgagor to pay amounts due in respect of the Mortgage Loan as and when due, provided such releases are required by the related Mortgage Loan documents; (iii) approve or consent to grants of easements or rights of way (including, without limitation, for utilities, access, parking, public improvements or another purpose) or subordination of the lien of the Mortgage Loan to easements except that, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and other than in the case of any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the holder of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Directing

(d)       No later than sixty (60) days after a Servicing Transfer Event for a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and, if applicable, the related Companion Loan, the applicable Special Servicer shall deliver in electronic format a report (the “Asset Status Report”) with respect to such Mortgage Loan and related Companion Loan, if applicable, and the related Mortgaged Property to the applicable Master Servicer, the Directing Certificateholder (but with respect to the Directing Certificateholder, only in respect of any Mortgage Loan other than (A) any Excluded Loan as to the Directing Certificateholder or (B) any Serviced AB Whole Loan prior to the occurrence of an AB Control Appraisal Period, and in any event prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event), the Risk Retention Consultation Party (but only in respect of any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan as to the Risk Retention Consultation Party), the Operating Advisor (but, other than with respect to an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class, only after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination 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)) 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 applicable master servicer of such Other Securitization into which the related Serviced Companion Loan has been sold; the applicable Special Servicer shall also

For the avoidance of doubt, neither Master Servicer shall make any Asset Status Reports available to any Certificateholders on 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. The applicable Special Servicer shall notify the Operating Advisor of whether any Asset Status Report delivered to the Operating Advisor is a Final Asset Status Report, which notification may be satisfied by (i) delivery of an Asset Status Report that is either signed by the Directing Certificateholder or that otherwise includes an indication that such Asset Status Report is deemed approved due to the passage of any required consent or consultation time period or (ii) such other method as reasonably agreed to by the Operating Advisor and the applicable Special Servicer. Further, the Certificate Administrator shall not request any Asset Status Report or Final Asset Status Report from either Master Servicer. Such Asset Status Report shall set forth the following information to the extent reasonably determinable based on the information that was delivered to the applicable Special Servicer in connection with the transfer of servicing pursuant to the Servicing Transfer Event:

(iv)       (A) the applicable 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 applicable 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 such 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;

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

 

(x)         such other information as the applicable 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 does not disapprove such Asset Status Report in writing or if the applicable Special Servicer makes a determination, in accordance with the Servicing Standard that the disapproval by the Directing Certificateholder (communicated to the applicable 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 (taking into account the pari passu or subordinate nature of any Companion Loan), the applicable Special Servicer shall implement the recommended action as outlined in such Asset Status Report; provided, however, that the applicable 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 Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class, prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder disapproves such Asset Status Report within ten (10) Business Days of receipt and the applicable Special Servicer has not made the affirmative determination described above, the applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer, the Directing Certificateholder (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event and, in the case of a Serviced AB Whole Loan, only prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event and during an AB Control Appraisal Period with respect to the related AB Subordinate Companion Loan), the Operating Advisor (but only after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination 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 Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class, prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Termination Event, the applicable 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 applicable Special Servicer makes a determination, in accordance with the

 

    -286- 

     

    
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 (taking into account the pari passu or subordinate nature of any Companion Loan); 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 applicable Special Servicer shall act pursuant to the Directing Certificateholder’s direction, if consistent with the Servicing Standard, and after the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, may act upon the most recently submitted form of Asset Status Report; provided, however, 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. Each 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 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 with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class (regardless of whether a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing), the applicable Special Servicer shall consult with the Operating Advisor, on a non-binding basis, in connection with an Asset Status Report for an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class that 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.

 

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 applicable Special Servicer, shall (a) require or cause the applicable Special Servicer to violate the terms of a Specially Serviced Loan, applicable law or any provision of this Agreement, including the applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer, the applicable 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 applicable Special Servicer’s, the Trustee’s or the applicable Master Servicer’s responsibilities under this Agreement.

 

If a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing (or, with respect to a Serviced AB Whole Loan, if both a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and an AB Control Appraisal Period is in effect), the applicable Special Servicer shall promptly deliver each Asset Status Report prepared in connection with a Specially Serviced Loan to the Operating Advisor (and the Directing Certificateholder (if no Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and such Specially Serviced Loan is not an Excluded Loan as to such party)). The Operating Advisor shall provide comments to the applicable 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

 

    -287- 

     

    
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 applicable Special Servicer shall consider such
alternative courses of action and any other feedback provided by the Operating Advisor (and the Directing Certificateholder
(in each case, if no Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and such Specially Serviced Loan is not an
Excluded Loan as to such party or a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan)) in connection with the applicable Special Servicer’s
preparation of any Asset Status Report. The applicable Special Servicer may revise the Asset Status Report as it deems
necessary to take into account any input and/or comments from the Operating Advisor (and the Directing Certificateholder (if
no Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and such Specially Serviced Loan is not an Excluded Loan as
to such party)), to the extent the applicable 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
applicable Special Servicer shall revise the Asset Status Report, if applicable, and deliver to the Operating Advisor and the
Directing Certificateholder the revised Asset Status Report (until a Final Asset Status Report is issued) or notice that the
applicable Special Servicer has decided not to revise such Asset Status Report, as applicable.

 

After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event (and at any time with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class), 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 and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder (except with respect to any Excluded Loan as to such party) and the Operating Advisor shall consult with the applicable Special Servicer and propose alternative courses of action and provide other feedback in respect of any Asset Status Report. The Directing Certificateholder (other than in its capacity as a Certificateholder) (in each case, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event (and at any time with respect to any Excluded Loan as to such party)), shall have no right to receive any Asset Status Report or otherwise consult with the applicable Special Servicer with respect to Asset Status Reports and the applicable Special Servicer shall only be obligated to consult with the Operating Advisor with respect to any Asset Status Report as described above. The applicable 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.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the occurrence and continuance of an AB Control Appraisal Period with respect to an AB Subordinate Companion Loan, the applicable Special Servicer shall prepare an Asset Status Report for any Serviced AB Whole Loan, upon it

 

    -288- 

     

    
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.

 

(e)       (i) Upon receiving notice of the occurrence of the events described in clause (iv) or (ix) of the definition of Servicing Transfer Event (without regard to the 60-day or 30-day period, respectively, set forth therein), the applicable Master Servicer shall with reasonable promptness give notice thereof, and shall use its reasonable efforts to provide the applicable Special Servicer with all information relating to the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan and reasonably requested by such Special Servicer to enable it to negotiate with the related Mortgagor. The applicable 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 a Control Termination 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 applicable Master Servicer shall deliver notice
thereof to the Operating Advisor at the same time such notice is provided to the applicable Special Servicer pursuant to
clause (i) above.

 

(f)        Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, no later than two (2) Business Days following the establishment of a Final Asset Status Report with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan, the applicable Special Servicer shall deliver in electronic format to the Directing Certificateholder (other than any Excluded Loan with respect to such party) 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 Asset Status Report with respect to a Serviced AB Mortgage Loan prior to the occurrence and continuance of an AB Control Appraisal Period (to the extent approved by the related Serviced AB Whole Loan Controlling Holder), to the Directing Certificateholder). With respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class, if, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, 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 applicable 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 applicable Special Servicer shall revise the summary and deliver such new summary to the Directing Certificateholder until the Directing Certificateholder approves such draft summary; provided, however, 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 applicable Special Servicer prior to such 20th Business Day shall be deemed to be the final summary of the Final Asset Status Report; provided, further, however, that if at any

 

    -289- 

     

    
time the applicable 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 and the holder of any related Companion Loan, as a collective whole (taking into account the pari passu or subordinate nature of any Companion Loan), pursuant to the Servicing Standard, the applicable 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 applicable 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 applicable 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 an AB Subordinate Companion Loan is not subject to an AB Control Appraisal Period, which Final Asset Status Report has been approved or deemed approved by the holder of the related AB 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 a 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) Each Master Servicer and each 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 applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, 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 under the circumstances described therein (subject to Section 3.20(g)); (iii) provides that the Trustee (for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the related Companion Holder (if applicable)) and the Trustee (as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests) shall be a third party beneficiary under such Sub-Servicing Agreement, but that (except to the extent the Trustee or its designee assumes the obligations of such party thereunder as contemplated by the immediately preceding clause (ii)) none of the Trust, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicers or Special Servicers, as applicable (other than the applicable Master Servicer or applicable Special Servicer that enters into such Sub-Servicing Agreement), any successor master servicer or successor special servicer or any Certificateholder (or the related Companion Holder, if applicable) shall have any duties under such Sub-Servicing Agreement or any liabilities arising therefrom; (iv) permits any purchaser of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement to terminate such Sub-Servicing Agreement with respect to such purchased Mortgage Loan at its option and without penalty; provided, however, that the Initial Sub-Servicing Agreements may only be terminated by the

 

    -290- 

     

    
Trustee or its designees as contemplated by Section 3.20(g) and in such additional manner and by such other Persons as is provided in such Sub-Servicing Agreement; (v) does not permit the Sub-Servicer any direct rights of indemnification that may be satisfied out of assets of the Trust except through the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, if and only to the extent provided pursuant to Section 6.04; (vi) does not permit the Sub-Servicer to modify any Mortgage Loan unless and to the extent the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, is permitted hereunder to modify such Mortgage Loan; (vii) does not permit the Sub-Servicer to take any action constituting a Major Decision without the consent of the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as applicable (which consent shall not be granted except in accordance with Section 6.08); (viii) with respect to any Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into after the Closing Date, if such Sub-Servicer is a Servicing Function Participant or an Additional Servicer, such Sub-Servicer, at the time the related Sub-Servicing Agreement is entered into, is not a Prohibited Party; and (ix) provides that the Sub-Servicer shall be in default under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement and such Sub-Servicing Agreement shall be terminated (following the expiration of any applicable grace period) if the Sub-Servicer fails (A) to deliver by the due date any Exchange Act reporting items required to be delivered to the applicable 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 that the Depositor is a party to. Any successor master servicer or successor special servicer, as applicable, hereunder shall, upon becoming a successor master servicer or successor special servicer, as applicable, be assigned and may assume any Sub-Servicing Agreements from the predecessor Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be (subject to Section 3.20(g)). In addition, each Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into by the applicable 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, however, 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 Primary 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 applicable Master Servicer or applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall deliver to the Trustee copies of all Sub-Servicing Agreements, and 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 applicable Master Servicer include actions taken or to be taken by a Sub-Servicer on behalf of each 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

 

    -291- 

     

    
 

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

 

(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 applicable Master Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement.

 

(c)     As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the applicable Master Servicer and the applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer shall be required only to use reasonable efforts to cause any Initial Sub-Servicer to comply with the requirements of Article XI. 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. The applicable Master 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 a successor master servicer and assumes the rights and obligations of a Master Servicer under any Sub-Servicing Agreement, the applicable 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 Sub-Servicer that is an Initial Sub-Servicer, the applicable Master Servicer shall remain obligated and responsible to the Trustee, the applicable Special Servicer, holders of the Companion Loans serviced hereunder and the Certificateholders for the performance of its

 

    -292- 

     

    
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 applicable 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 applicable 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)         Each Sub-Servicing Agreement shall provide that, in the event the Trustee or any other Person becomes a 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 applicable Master Servicer’s servicing rights under this Agreement; provided that the Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement has not been terminated in accordance with its provisions; (ii) any successor master servicer, including, without limitation, the Trustee (if it assumes the servicing obligations of the applicable Master Servicer) shall be deemed to automatically assume and agree to the then-current Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement 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 either Master Servicer, the applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

(i)         Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Special Servicer shall enter into any Sub-Servicing Agreement that provides for the performance by third parties of any or all of its obligations herein, without, prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Termination Event and other than with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder, the consent of the Directing Certificateholder, except to the extent necessary for the applicable Special Servicer to comply with applicable regulatory requirements.

Section 3.23    Controlling Class Certificateholders, Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party; Certain Rights and Powers of Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party. (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 applicable Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the applicable 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 (other than the Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder) is hereby deemed to have agreed by virtue of its purchase of a Certificate to notify the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable 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 is also the General Special Servicer, it shall be the Directing Certificateholder.

 

    -294- 

     

    
On the Closing Date, the initial Directing Certificateholder (other than any Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder) shall execute and 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 (other than any Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder), any successor directing certificateholder shall 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.

 

On the Closing Date, the initial Risk Retention Consultation Party shall execute and deliver to the parties to this Agreement a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1H to this Agreement. Upon the resignation or removal of the existing Risk Retention Consultation Party, any successor Risk Retention Consultation Party shall deliver to the parties to this Agreement a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1H to this Agreement prior to being recognized as the new Risk Retention Consultation Party.

 

(b)        Once a Directing Certificateholder has been selected, each of the Master Servicers, the Special Servicers, 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 applicable Master Servicer, the applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the applicable Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Operating Advisor that it is the new Directing Certificateholder; provided that the applicable Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the applicable 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. The foregoing provisions shall not be applicable to the Directing Certificateholder that is a Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder. Additionally, once a Risk Retention Consultation Party has been selected, each of the Master Servicers, the Special Servicers, 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 Holders of the RR Interest entitled to appoint the Risk Retention Consultation Party, by Certificate Balance, or such Risk Retention Consultation Party shall have notified the Master Servicers, the Special Servicers, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator,

 

    -295- 

     

    
the Operating Advisor and each other Holder of the RR Interest, in writing, of the selection of a new Risk Retention Consultation Party.

 

(c)        Until it receives notice to the contrary, each of the Master Servicers, the Special Servicers, 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, the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party.

 

(d)       In the event that no Directing Certificateholder or Risk Retention Consultation Party, as applicable, has been appointed or identified to either Master Servicer or either Special Servicer, as applicable, and such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as the case may be, has attempted to obtain such information from the Certificate Administrator and no such entity has been identified to such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as applicable, then until such time as the new Directing Certificateholder or Risk Retention Consultation Party, as applicable, is identified to such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as applicable, such Master Servicer or such 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 or Risk Retention Consultation Party, as applicable, as the case may be.

 

(e)      Upon request, the Certificate Administrator shall deliver to the Depositor, Trustee, the Special Servicers, the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicers and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder, a list of each Controlling Class Certificateholder as reflected in the Certificate Register, including names and addresses. In addition to the foregoing, within five (5) Business Days of receiving notice of the selection of a new Directing Certificateholder or Risk Retention Consultation Party or the existence of a new Controlling Class Certificateholder, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the applicable Master Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) ECMBS LLC shall be the initial Directing Certificateholder (but not the Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder) and shall remain so until a successor is appointed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or until a Consultation Termination Event occurs and is continuing; provided that if such Directing Certificateholder resigns, there shall be no Directing Certificateholder until such time as one is appointed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Special Servicer or any other party under this Agreement shall not be required to consent or consult with, or provide notices or documents to, such Directing Certificateholder, and (B) Wells Fargo Bank, National Association shall be the initial Risk Retention Consultation Party and shall remain so until a successor is appointed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or until a Consultation Termination Event occurs and is continuing.

 

Until it receives notice to the contrary, each of the Master Servicers, the Special Servicers, 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 and the Risk Retention Consultation Party.

 

(f)         If the Certificate Administrator determines that a Class of Book-Entry Certificates is the Controlling Class, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the related

 

    -296- 

     

    
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: (i) the Directing Certificateholder may have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of Holders of one or more Classes of Certificates; (ii) the Directing Certificateholder may act solely in the interests of the Holders of the Controlling Class or in its own interest; (iii) the Directing Certificateholder does not have any liability or duties to the Holders of any Class of Certificates other than the Controlling Class (or in the case of the Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder has no liabilities or duties to the Controlling Class or the Holders of any Class of Certificates); (iv) the Directing Certificateholder may take actions that favor interests of the Holders of one or more Classes including the Controlling Class or itself over the interests of the Holders of one or more other Classes of Certificates, or in the case of the Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder, its own interests; and (v) the Directing Certificateholder shall have no liability whatsoever (other than to a Controlling Class Certificateholder; provided that the Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder shall have no such liability) 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.

 

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

 

(h)       All requirements of each Master Servicer and each 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, however, 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 Servicers, the Special Servicers, 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

 

    -297- 

     

    
information of the Controlling Class Certificateholder, the Directing Certificateholder, the Risk Retention Consultation Party 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 then-current Controlling Class within two (2) Business Days of a request from the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer, 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 Servicers, the Special Servicers 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 Servicers and the Special Servicers within ten (10) Business Days of the existence or cessation of (i) any Control Termination Event, or (ii) any Consultation Termination Event. Upon the Certificate Administrator’s determination that a Control Termination Event or a Consultation Termination 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 pursuant to clause (i) of the definition thereof, such special notice shall state “A Control Termination Event has occurred due to the reduction of the Certificate Balance of the Class F Certificates to less than 25% of the aggregate Original Certificate Balance thereof, with regard to the application of any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts.”

 

In the event that a Consultation Termination Event has occurred pursuant to clause (i) of the definition thereof, such special notice shall state “A Consultation Termination Event has occurred due to the reduction of the Certificate Balance of the Class F Certificates to less than 25% of the aggregate Original Certificate Balance thereof, without regard to the application of any Allocated Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts.”

 

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 Allocated 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

 

    -298- 

     

    
each case without regard to the application of any Allocated Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts.”

 

In the event of any transfer of a Class F Certificate, and upon notice to the Certificate Administrator in the form of Exhibit MM that results in a termination of a Control Termination Event or a Consultation Termination Event, such “special notice” shall state: “A Consultation Termination Event or a Control Termination Event has been terminated and is no longer in effect due to a transfer of a majority interest of the Controlling Class Certificates to an unaffiliated third party which has terminated any waiver by the prior Holder.”

 

The Directing Certificateholder shall not have any consent or consultation rights with respect to any Mortgage Loan determined to be an Excluded Loan as to either the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class. Likewise, the Risk Retention Consultation Party shall not have any consultation rights with respect to any Mortgage Loan determined to be an Excluded Loan as to either such Risk Retention Consultation Party or the Holder of the majority of the RR Interest. Notwithstanding the proviso to each of the definitions of “Control Termination Event” and “Consultation Termination Event”, in either such case, in respect of the servicing of any such Excluded Loan, a Control Termination Event and Consultation Termination Event will be deemed to have occurred with respect to such Excluded Loan.

 

Section 3.24    Intercreditor Agreements. (a) Each 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 and each agrees to service each such Serviced Whole Loan, and each Mortgage Loan with mezzanine debt in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, including, without limitation, effecting distributions and allocating reimbursement of expenses in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement 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 Servicers and Special Servicers 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 Servicers and Special Servicers 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 Master Servicer and each Special Servicer further acknowledges and agrees that any Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder will have the right to replace the applicable Special Servicer solely with respect to the related Serviced Whole Loan, to the extent provided for herein and in the related Intercreditor Agreement.

 

(b)        Neither the applicable Master Servicer nor the applicable 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

 

    -299- 

     

    
between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of such Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision of any Intercreditor Agreement that may otherwise require such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer to abide by any instruction or direction of a Companion Holder or a mezzanine lender, neither such Master Servicer nor such 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 applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer for its own account without reimbursement. In no event shall the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, 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 such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as applicable, as required under Section 3.23(e) or such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as applicable, have actual knowledge of the identity and contact information of a new Directing Certificateholder or 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 applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer to violate the terms of a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan, applicable law or any provision of this Agreement, including such Master Servicer’s or such 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, (b) result in the imposition of a “prohibited transaction” or “prohibited contribution” tax under the REMIC Provisions or (c) materially expand the scope of the applicable Special Servicer’s, Trustee’s, the Certificate Administrator’s or the applicable Master Servicer’s responsibilities under this Agreement.

 

(d)        With respect to any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, notwithstanding any rights the Operating Advisor, 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 and 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 applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, 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

 

    -300- 

     

    
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 applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, 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 applicable 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 and continuance of a Control Termination Event or the occurrence and continuance of 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 applicable 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 applicable 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, such 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, such Special Servicer may make any Major Decision or take any action set forth in the Asset Status Report before the expiration of the aforementioned ten (10) Business Day period if such 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 applicable Special Servicer be obligated at any time to follow or take any alternative actions recommended by the related Companion Holder.

 

(f)        Each Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder shall have the right to attend (in person or telephonically, in the discretion of the applicable Master Servicer or applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be) annual meetings with the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer at the offices of such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as applicable, upon reasonable notice and at times reasonably acceptable to such Master Servicer or such 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 applicable Special Servicer shall not modify, waive or amend the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement such that the

 

    -301- 

     

    
monthly remittance to the holder of the related Companion Loan is required earlier than 2 Business Days after receipt by the applicable Master Servicer of the related Periodic Payment without the consent of such 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 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 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 (as if such requirement did not exist) with respect to such Rating Agency and the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, may then take such action if the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, 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 applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, such condition shall be deemed not to apply (as if such requirement did not exist) if (i) the 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

 

    -302- 

     

    
special servicer is rated at least “CMS3” (in the case of the replacement master servicer) or “CSS3” (in the case of the replacement special servicer), if Fitch is the non-responding Rating Agency or (iii) KBRA has not publicly cited servicing concerns with respect to 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 commercial mortgage-backed securitization 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 Servicers, Special Servicers, 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 applicable Master Servicer’s or the applicable 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 (as if such requirement did not exist), such Master Servicer or such 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 applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer would have been permitted to waive obtaining or to make a determination with respect to such Rating Agency Confirmation pursuant to Section 3.25(a) shall be deemed not to apply (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.

 

(d)        With respect to any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan as to which there exists Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Securities, if any action relating to the servicing and administration of the related Whole Loan or any related REO Property (including, but not limited to, the replacement of the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer or a sub-servicer) (the “Relevant Action”) requires delivery of a Rating Agency Confirmation as a condition precedent to such action pursuant to this Agreement, then such action will also require delivery of a confirmation of each Companion Loan Rating Agency that

 

    -303- 

     

    
such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any Serviced Pari Passu 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) as a condition precedent to such action, which confirmation shall be sought by the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as applicable, seeking the corresponding Rating Agency Confirmation(s) in connection with the Relevant Action.

 

Section 3.26    The Operating Advisor. (a) The Operating Advisor shall promptly review (i) all information made available to Privileged Persons on the Certificate Administrator’s Website (A) that relates to any Specially Serviced Loan, and (B) that is contained in the CREFC® Servicer Watch List prepared by the applicable Master Servicer and (ii) each Final Asset Status Report delivered to the Operating Advisor by the applicable Special Servicer.

 

(b)       The Operating Advisor and its Affiliates will be obligated to keep confidential any Privileged Information received from the applicable Special Servicer or Directing Certificateholder in connection with the Directing Certificateholder’s exercise of its rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, in connection with the review and/or approval of any Asset Status Report), subject to any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree requiring the disclosure of such Privileged Information. 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 applicable Special Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement solely for purposes of complying with its duties and obligations hereunder.

 

(c)       (i) After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, based on the Operating Advisor’s review of any assessment of compliance report, attestation report, Asset Status Report and other information (other than any communications between the Directing Certificateholder and the applicable Special Servicer that would be Privileged Information) delivered to the Operating Advisor by such Special Servicer, including each Asset Status Report delivered during the prior calendar year, the Operating Advisor shall (if any Mortgage Loans were Specially Serviced Loans during the prior calendar year) deliver to the Certificate Administrator, the applicable Special Servicer and the 17g-5 Information Provider within one hundred-twenty (120) days of the end of the prior calendar year for which a Control Termination Event was continuing as of December 31, 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, however, 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 of the applicable Special Servicer’s performance of its duties under this Agreement during the prior calendar year with respect to the resolution and/or liquidation of Specially Serviced Loans that the applicable Special Servicer is responsible for servicing under this Agreement; provided, further, however, that in the event the applicable Special Servicer is replaced, the Operating Advisor Annual Report shall only relate to such 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. Notwithstanding the

 

    -304- 

     

    
foregoing, with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan, no Operating Advisor Annual Report will be permitted to include an assessment of the applicable Special Servicer’s performance in respect of such Serviced AB Whole Loan until after the occurrence and during the continuance of an AB Control Appraisal Period under the related Intercreditor Agreement. Subject to the restrictions in this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 3.26(c), each such Operating Advisor Annual Report shall (A) identify any material deviations (i) from the Servicing Standard and (ii) from the applicable Special Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement with respect to the resolution or liquidation of Specially Serviced Loans or REO Properties that the applicable Special Servicer is responsible for servicing under this Agreement (other than with respect to any REO Property related to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan or any Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan) and (B) comply with all of the confidentiality requirements described in this Agreement regarding Privileged Information (subject to any permitted exceptions); provided that the Operating Advisor shall not be required to report on any instances of non-compliance with, or deviations from, the Servicing Standard or the applicable Special Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement that the Operating Advisor determines, in accordance with the Operating Advisor Standard, to be immaterial. Such Operating Advisor Annual Report shall be delivered to the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer, 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)) 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, however, that the applicable Special Servicer shall be given an opportunity to review the Operating Advisor Annual Report at least five (5) Business Days prior to its 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 applicable Special Servicer. The Operating Advisor Annual Report shall be prepared on the basis of the applicable Special Servicer’s performance of its duties as they relate to the resolution and/or liquidation of Specially Serviced Loans, taking into account the applicable 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 the items required to be reviewed by it pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Operating Advisor Annual Report shall be required from the Operating Advisor with respect to any calendar year as to which no Final Asset Status Report was prepared by the applicable Special Servicer in connection with a Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property.

 

(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 the accuracy and completeness of any information it is provided without liability for any such reliance hereunder. 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 shall set forth any such limitations or prohibitions in

 

    -305- 

     

    
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)       Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event (or, with respect to a Serviced AB Whole Loan, prior to the occurrence and continuance of both a Control Termination Event and a related AB Control Appraisal Period), the applicable Special Servicer will forward any Appraisal Reduction Amount and net present value calculations used in the applicable Special Servicer’s determination of what course of action to take in connection with the workout or liquidation of a Specially Serviced Loan to the Operating Advisor after such calculations have been finalized. The Operating Advisor shall review such calculations but shall not opine on or take any affirmative action with respect to such Appraisal Reduction Amount calculations and/or net present value calculations (except that if the Operating Advisor discovers a mathematical error contained in such calculations, them the Operating Advisor shall notify the Special Servicer of such error).

 

(e)        (i) After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, and with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan, after the occurrence and during the continuance of both a Control Termination Event and an AB Control Appraisal Period, after the calculation but prior to the utilization by the applicable Special Servicer of any of the calculations related to (i) Appraisal Reduction Amounts or Collateral Deficiency Amount (if the applicable Special Servicer has calculated any such Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount) or (ii) net present value in accordance with Section 1.02(iv), the applicable 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 Communications), to the Operating Advisor promptly, but in any event no later than two (2) Business Days after preparing such calculations, 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), in the event the Operating Advisor does not agree with the mathematical calculations of the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount (if calculated by the applicable 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 the applicable Special Servicer shall consult with each other in order to resolve any inaccuracy in the mathematical calculations or the application of the non-discretionary portions of the related formula in arriving at those mathematical calculations or any disagreement within five (5) Business Days of delivery of such calculations. The applicable Master Servicer shall cooperate with such Special Servicer and provide any information reasonably requested by such Special Servicer necessary for the calculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount that is either in such Master Servicer’s possession or, solely with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans, reasonably obtainable by such Master Servicer. In the event the Operating

 

    -306- 

     

    
Advisor and the applicable 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 Operating Advisor and the applicable Special Servicer and determine which calculation is to apply and shall provide such parties prompt written notice of its determination.

 

(iii)       Notwithstanding the foregoing, the consultation duties of the Operating Advisor set forth in this Agreement shall not be permitted to be exercised by the Operating Advisor with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan until after the occurrence and during the continuance of both a Control Termination Event (except with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class) and a related AB Control Appraisal Period.

 

(f)        Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Control Termination Event, the Operating Advisor will be limited to an after-the-action review of any assessment of compliance, attestation report, Final Asset Status Report and other information delivered to the Operating Advisor by the applicable 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 specific involvement with respect to collateral substitutions, assignments, workouts, modifications, consents, waivers, lockbox management, insurance policies, borrower substitutions, lease changes, additional borrower debt, defeasances, property management changes, releases from escrow, assumptions and other similar actions that such Special Servicer may perform under this Agreement.

 

(g)     The Operating Advisor and its Affiliates shall keep all Privileged Information confidential 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 to this Agreement 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 concerning allegations of 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 applicable Special Servicer. Each party to this Agreement that receives Privileged Information from the Operating Advisor 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 applicable Special Servicer and, unless a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Certificateholder (with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than a Non-Serviced Whole Loan and other than any Mortgage Loan that is an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class) 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.

 

    -307- 

     

    
(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 (including each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan, but not any Companion Loan) and each 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. In addition, the Depositor shall pay the Operating Advisor a fee of $10,000 (the “Operating Advisor Upfront Fee”) on the Closing Date.

 

The Operating Advisor shall be entitled to reimbursement of any Operating Advisor Expenses provided for pursuant to Section 3.26(d) and/or 6.04(b), such amounts to be reimbursed from amounts on deposit in the applicable Collection Account as provided by Section 3.26(e). 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 Accounts as provided in Section 3.05(a)(ii) of this Agreement, but, with respect to the period when the outstanding Certificate Balances of the Control Eligible Certificates has not been reduced to zero as a result of the allocation of Realized Losses to such Certificates, 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 applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, 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 only to the extent not prohibited by the related Mortgage Loan documents, and in no event will it take any enforcement action with respect to the collection of such Operating Advisor Consulting Fee. The applicable Master Servicer or applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, 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 such Master Servicer or such 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 the foregoing, the Operating Advisor will have no obligations or consultation rights in its capacity as operating advisor with respect to: (i) any Non-Serviced Whole Loan or

 

    -308- 

     

    
any related REO Property, (ii) any Serviced AB Whole Loan, prior to the occurrence and continuance of both an AB Control Appraisal Period and a Control Termination Event or (iii) any Servicing Shift Whole Loan or related REO Property; provided, further, that the Operating Advisor shall not be entitled to 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, the Operating Advisor may be removed upon (i) the written direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of Allocated Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances of Classes to which such Allocated Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts are allocable) requesting a vote to replace the Operating Advisor with a replacement Operating Advisor selected by such Certificateholders (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 and the Certificate Administrator of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency (which confirmations will be obtained by the Certificate Administrator at the expense of such Holders and will not constitute an additional expense of the Trust). 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 evidencing at least 75% of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of Allocated Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances of Classes to which such Allocated Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts are allocable), 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, and upon the written direction of Holders of Certificates representing at least 25% of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of any Allocated Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balance of the Classes of 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 will, as soon as possible, be required to give written notice of the termination and appointment to the Special Servicers, the Master Servicers, the Certificate Administrator, the 17g-5 Information Provider (for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website), the Depositor, the Directing Certificateholder, the Risk Retention Consultation Party, any Companion Holder and the Certificateholders.

 

    -309- 

     

    
(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 will 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)       Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder shall have the right to consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, to the identity of any replacement Operating Advisor appointed pursuant to this Section 3.26; provided, further, that such consent will be deemed to have been granted if no objection is made within ten (10) Business Days following the Directing Certificateholder’s receipt of the request for consent and, if granted or deemed granted, such consent cannot thereafter be revoked or withdrawn.

 

(n)        The Operating Advisor may resign from its obligations and duties hereby imposed on it (a) upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Depositor, the Master Servicers, the Special Servicers, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party, if applicable, and (b) upon the appointment of, and the acceptance of such appointment by, a successor operating advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor and receipt by the Trustee of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency. 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. The resigning Operating Advisor shall pay all 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)        In the event there are no Classes of Certificates outstanding other than the Control Eligible Certificates, the Class V Certificates, the Class R Certificates and the RR Interest, then all of the rights and obligations of the Operating Advisor shall terminate without payment of any termination fee (other than any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination (including accrued and unpaid compensation) and other than indemnification rights arising out of events occurring prior to such termination). In connection with any termination pursuant to this Section 3.26(o), no successor operating advisor shall be appointed. Upon receipt of written notice of such acts by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall provide the Operating Advisor with prompt notice upon its termination pursuant to this Section 3.26(o).

 

(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.

 

    -310- 

     

    
(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 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)        Neither the Operating Advisor nor any of its Affiliates shall make any investment in any Class of Certificates; provided, however, that such prohibition shall not apply to (i) riskless principal transactions effected by a broker-dealer Affiliate of the Operating Advisor or (ii) investments by an Affiliate of the Operating Advisor if the Operating Advisor and such Affiliate maintain policies and procedures that (A) segregate personnel involved in the activities of the Operating Advisor 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 Operating Advisor and its personnel from gaining access to such Affiliate’s information regarding its investment activities.

 

(s)        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. 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.

 

(t)        The Operating Advisor may delegate its duties and obligations to agents or subcontractors 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 affiliated with a Sponsor, the Master Servicers, the Special Servicers, 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, the Master Servicers, the Special Servicers, 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 agents or subcontractor to the same extent and under the same terms 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.

 

    -311- 

     

    
(u)        With respect to the determination of whether a Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, or has terminated, the Operating Advisor is entitled to rely solely on its receipt from the Certificate Administrator of notice thereof pursuant to Section 3.23(m), and, with respect to any obligations of the Operating Advisor that are performed only after the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and/or Consultation Termination Event, the Operating Advisor shall have no obligation to perform any such duties until the receipt of such notice or actual knowledge of the occurrence of a Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event, as applicable.

 

Section 3.27    Companion Paying Agent. (a) With respect to each of the Serviced Companion Loans, the applicable 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, however, 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 applicable Master Servicer pursuant to Article VII of this Agreement, the applicable 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    Serviced Companion Noteholder Register. The Companion Paying Agent shall maintain a register (the “Serviced Companion Noteholder Register”) with respect to each Serviced Companion Loan on which it will record the names and address of, and wire transfer instructions for, the Serviced Companion Noteholders from time to time, to the extent such information is provided in writing to it by each Serviced Companion Noteholder. The initial Serviced Companion Noteholders, along with their respective name and address, are listed on Exhibit S hereto. In the event a Serviced Companion Noteholder transfers a Serviced Companion Loan without notice to the Companion Paying Agent, the Companion Paying Agent shall have no liability for any misdirected payment in such Serviced Companion Loan and shall have no obligation to recover and redirect such payment.

 

    -312- 

     

    
The Companion Paying Agent shall promptly provide the name and address of any Serviced Companion Noteholder to any party hereto or any successor Serviced Companion Noteholder 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 Serviced Companion Noteholder with respect to a Serviced 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 Whole Loans.

(d)       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 applicable 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.

Consultation Termination Event, shall be entitled to exercise any 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.

 

(f)        With respect to each Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole 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 any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if the applicable Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall receive any communication from the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer or Non-Serviced Special Servicer regarding any “Master Servicer Decision” pursuant to clause (x) of the definition of such term, then such Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall forward the communication to the Directing Certificateholder (other than with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the holder of the majority of the Controlling Class and other than amendments to split or resize notes consistent with the terms of such Intercreditor Agreement) (and to the applicable Master Servicer, if the applicable Special Servicer is forwarding such communication), and the applicable Master Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer or the applicable Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as the case may be, in effecting any action by the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer or the applicable Non-Serviced Special Servicer, in any such case subject to and consistent with the related Intercreditor Agreement.

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 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

 

    -315- 

     

    
Loan does
not repurchase 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(l), 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 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(l) 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. With respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, clauses
(b)–(j) below shall not apply, and the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement shall continue to govern
the relationship between the related Mortgage Notes as if each related Repurchased Note were a Serviced Pari Passu Companion
Loan or Non-Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, as applicable. With respect to any other Joint Mortgage Loan, clauses
(b)–(j) below shall apply to such Joint 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 or, with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Non-Serviced Custodian as provided under the related Non-Serviced PSA, 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 with each other, 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 applicable Master Servicer and shall be applied upon receipt by such 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 applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer) to the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee by the applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer pro rata to each related Mortgage Note based on its respective Mortgage Loan Seller

 

    -316- 

     

    
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 applicable Master Servicer or the applicable 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 such 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 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 that is not a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and 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, (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 applicable Master Servicer, the applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer or the applicable 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)       With respect to a Joint Mortgage Loan that is not a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and to which this Section 3.30 applies, 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 applicable Master Servicer or the applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor with respect to each Repurchased Note as provided in this Agreement as if each such Repurchased Note were

 

    -317- 

     

    
a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan. None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer and the applicable 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 applicable 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 such Special Servicer under this Agreement as with respect to a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan.

 

(d)       If (A) the applicable 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 such Master Servicer, then the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller shall promptly on demand by such Master Servicer return such amount to such Master Servicer. If such Master Servicer determines at any time that any amount received or collected by such 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, such 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 such Master Servicer repay (which obligation shall survive the termination of this Agreement) any portion thereof that such Master Servicer shall have distributed to such Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller, together with interest thereon at such rate, if any, as such Master Servicer may pay to the related Mortgagor or such other person or entity with respect thereto.

 

(e)        With respect to a Joint Mortgage Loan that is not a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and to which this Section 3.30 applies, 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 applicable Master Servicer or the applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer or the applicable 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

 

    -318- 

     

    
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 applicable Master Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer shall each be subject to the same degree of care with respect to the administration and servicing of the Joint Mortgage Loans that are not Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans and 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 applicable Master Servicer or the applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer (and amounts due to the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be offset) for Advances or interest thereon or any amounts related to any Mortgage Loans or any other Joint Mortgage Loan other than such amounts relating to the applicable Repurchased Note. To the extent that the applicable Repurchasing 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 applicable Master Servicer’s or the applicable 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, with respect to a Joint Mortgage Loan that is not a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and to which this Section 3.30 applies, the assignee of the related Repurchased Note shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.

 

(i)         With respect to a Joint Mortgage Loan that is not a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and to which this Section 3.30 applies, the applicable Master Servicer and the applicable 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

 

    -319- 

     

    
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 applicable Master Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer any powers of attorney or other documents necessary or appropriate to enable such Master Servicer or such 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 applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as applicable, for any negligence with respect to, or misuse of, any such power of attorney by such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as the case may be; provided, further, that the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer or the applicable 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    [RESERVED].

 

Section 3.32    Litigation Control. (a) With respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), any Serviced Companion Loan or any related REO Loan or related REO Property, the applicable Special Servicer shall, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, direct, manage, prosecute and/or defend any action brought by a Mortgagor, guarantor, or other obligor on the related Note or any Affiliates thereof (each a “Borrower-Related Party”) against the Trust, either Master Servicer and/or any 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 Serviced 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 either Master Servicer is named in any Trust-Related Litigation but neither of the Special Servicers is named in such Trust-Related Litigation (regardless of whether the Trust is named in such Trust-Related Litigation), the applicable Master Servicer shall notify the applicable Special Servicer of such litigation as soon as practicable but in any event no later than within ten (10) Business Days of such Master Servicer receiving service of such Trust-Related Litigation. The Operating Advisor shall not be required to review the actions of the applicable Special Servicer with respect to Trust-Related

 

    -320- 

     

    
Litigation unless such review is otherwise related to the performance of the Operating Advisor’s duties, rights and obligations in respect of a Final Asset Status Report and/or Asset Status Report.

 

(b)        To the extent a Master Servicer is named in the Trust-Related Litigation, and neither the Trust nor a Special Servicer is named, in order to effectuate the role of the applicable Special Servicer as contemplated by the immediately preceding subsection, such Master Servicer shall (i) provide monthly status reports to the applicable Special Servicer regarding such Trust-Related Litigation; (ii) seek to have the Trust replace such Master Servicer as the appropriate party to the lawsuit; and (iii) so long as such Master Servicer remains a party to the lawsuit, consult with and act at the direction of the applicable Special Servicer with respect to decisions and resolutions related to the interests of the Trust in such Trust-Related Litigation, including but not limited to the selection of counsel; provided that such Master Servicer shall have the right to engage separate counsel relating to claims against such Master Servicer to the extent set forth in Section 3.32(e); and provided, however, that if there are claims against such Master Servicer and such Master Servicer has not determined that separate counsel is required for such claims, such counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to such Master Servicer.

 

(c)        Neither Special Servicer shall (i) undertake (or direct either Master Servicer to undertake) any material settlement of any Trust-Related Litigation or (ii) initiate any material Trust-Related Litigation unless and until it has notified in writing the Directing Certificateholder (only if the related Mortgage Loan is not an Excluded Loan and prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) (to the extent the identity of the Directing Certificateholder is actually known to such Special Servicer; provided that such 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 such Special Servicer) and the Directing Certificateholder (only if the related Mortgage Loan is not an Excluded Loan and prior to the occurrence and continuation of a Control Termination Event) 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 such Special Servicer within such 5 Business Day period, then the Directing Certificateholder shall be deemed to have approved the taking of such action); provided that, if the applicable Special Servicer determines (consistent with the Servicing Standard) that immediate action is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holders, such Special Servicer may take such action without waiting for the Directing Certificateholder’s response.

 

(d)       Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Special Servicers or Master Servicers shall follow any advice, direction or consultation provided by the Directing Certificateholder or the Risk Retention Consultation Party (or any other party to this Agreement) that would require or cause such Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, to violate any applicable law, be inconsistent with the Servicing Standard, require or cause such Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, to violate provisions of this Agreement, require or

 

    -321- 

     

    
cause such Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, to violate the terms of any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, expose any Certificateholder or any party to this Agreement or their Affiliates, officers, directors or agents to any claim, suit or liability, cause any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC, result in the imposition of a “prohibited transaction” or “prohibited contribution” tax under the REMIC Provisions or materially expand the scope of such Special Servicer’s or Master Servicer’s, as the case may be, responsibilities under this Agreement.

 

(e)        Notwithstanding the right of a Special Servicer to represent the interests of the Trust in Trust-Related Litigation, and subject to the rights of such Special Servicer to direct the applicable Master Servicer’s actions in this Section 3.32, such Master Servicer shall retain the right to make determinations relating to claims against such Master Servicer, including but not limited to the right to engage separate counsel and to appear in any proceeding on its own behalf in such Master Servicer’s reasonable discretion, the cost of which shall be subject to indemnification as and to the extent provided in this Agreement.

 

(f)         Further, nothing in this section shall require a Master Servicer to take or fail to take any action which, in such Master Servicer’s good faith and reasonable judgment, may (i) result in a violation of the REMIC Provisions or (ii) subject such Master Servicer to liability or materially expand the scope of such Master Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement.

 

(g)       Notwithstanding either Master Servicer’s right to make determinations relating to claims against such Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer shall have the right at any time in accordance with the Servicing Standard to (i) direct such Master Servicer to settle any claims asserted against such Master Servicer (whether or not the Trust or the applicable Special Servicer is named in any such claims or Trust-Related Litigation) (and with respect to any material settlements with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan, with the consent or consultation of the Directing Certificateholder prior to a Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event, respectively) and (ii) otherwise reasonably direct the actions of such Master Servicer relating to claims against such Master Servicer (whether or not the Trust or the applicable Special Servicer is named in any such claims or Trust-Related Litigation), provided in either case that (A) such settlement or other direction does not require any admission of liability or wrongdoing on the part of such Master Servicer, (B) 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, (C) such Master Servicer is and shall be indemnified as and to the extent provided in this Agreement for all costs and expenses of such Master Servicer incurred in defending and settling the Trust-Related Litigation and for any judgment, (D) any such action taken by such Master Servicer at the direction of the applicable Special Servicer shall be deemed (as to such Master Servicer) to be in compliance with the Servicing Standard and (E) the applicable Special Servicer provides such Master Servicer with assurance reasonably satisfactory to such Master Servicer as to the items in clauses (A), (B) and (C).

 

(h)       In the event both a Master Servicer and a Special Servicer or Trust are named in Trust-Related Litigation, such Master Servicer and Special Servicer shall cooperate with each other to afford such Master Servicer and Special Servicer the rights afforded to such party in this Section 3.32.

 

    -322- 

     

    
This Section 3.32 shall not apply in the event the applicable Special Servicer authorizes the applicable Master Servicer, and such Master Servicer 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.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) in the event that any action, suit, litigation or proceeding names the Trustee in its individual capacity, or in the event that any judgment is rendered against the Trustee in its individual capacity, the Trustee, upon prior written notice to the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, may retain counsel and appear in any such proceeding on its own behalf in order to protect and represent its interests (but not to otherwise direct, manage or prosecute such litigation 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, or otherwise relating to one or more Mortgage Loans or Mortgaged Properties, none of the applicable Master Servicers or Special Servicers shall, without the prior written consent of the Trustee, (A) initiate an action, suit, litigation or proceeding in the name of the Trustee, whether in such capacity or individually, (B) engage counsel to represent the Trustee, or (C) prepare, execute or deliver any government filings, forms, permits, registrations or other documents or take any other similar actions with the intent to cause, and that actually causes, the Trustee to be registered to do business in any state (provided that none of the Master Servicers or Special Servicers shall be responsible for any delay due to the unwillingness of the Trustee to grant such consent); and (iii) in the event that any court finds that the Trustee 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 Trustee 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 Trustee or individually (but not to otherwise direct, manage or prosecute such litigation or claim); provided, however, that nothing in this subsection shall be interpreted to preclude the applicable Special Servicer (with respect to any material Trust-Related Litigation with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan, with the consent or consultation of the Directing Certificateholder prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event, respectively, to the extent required in Section 3.32(c), respectively) from initiating any action, suit, litigation or proceeding in its name as representative of the Trustee of the Trust.

 

Section 3.33    Delivery of Excluded Information to the Certificate Administrator. Any Excluded Information that a Master Servicer, a Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor identifies and delivers to the Certificate Administrator for posting to the Certificate Administrator’s Website shall be delivered to the Certificate Administrator via e-mail (or such other electronic means as is mutually acceptable to the parties) in one or more separate files labeled “Excluded Information” followed by the applicable loan name and loan file to cmbsexcludedinformation@wellsfargo.com. For the avoidance of doubt, any information that is not appropriately labeled and delivered in accordance with this Section 3.33 shall not be separately posted as Excluded Information on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, and any information appropriately labeled and delivered to the Certificate Administrator pursuant to this Section 3.33 shall be posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website under the “Excluded Information” section, as provided under Section 3.13.

    -323- 

     

    
Excluded Controlling Class Loans on the Certificate Administrator’s Website (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). None of the Master Servicers, the Special Servicers or the Operating Advisor shall have any obligations to separately label and deliver any Excluded Information in accordance with this Section 3.33 until such party has received written notice with respect to the related Excluded Controlling Class Loan in the form of Exhibit P-1E to this Agreement. Nothing set forth 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 or such Controlling Class Certificateholder is not a Borrower Party and, if such Excluded Information is not available on the Certificate Administrator’s Website on account of it constituting Excluded Information, such Directing Certificateholder or Controlling Class Certificateholder that is not a Borrower Party with respect to the related Excluded Controlling Class Loan shall be permitted to obtain such information in accordance with Section 4.02(f) of this Agreement.

If, in connection with any Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator has reported the amount of an anticipated distribution to DTC based on the receipt of payments as of the Determination Date and additional Periodic Payments, balloon payments or unscheduled principal payments are subsequently received by the applicable Master Servicer and required to be part of the Aggregate Available Funds for such Distribution Date, such Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Certificate Administrator and the Certificate Administrator will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause DTC to make the revised distribution on a timely basis on such Distribution Date. None of the Master Servicers, the Special Servicers or the Certificate Administrator shall be liable or held responsible for any resulting delay in the making of such distribution to Certificateholders solely on the basis of the actions described in the preceding sentence.

 

(b)        Distributions of Retained Certificate Available Funds. On each Distribution Date, to the extent of the Retained Certificate Available Funds for such Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall be deemed to transfer the Lower-Tier Distribution Amount from the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account to the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account in the amounts and priorities set forth in Section 4.01(c) with respect to the LRR Uncertificated Interest, and immediately thereafter, shall make distributions thereof from the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account in the following order of priority, satisfying in full, to the extent required and possible, each priority before making any distribution with respect to any succeeding priority:

 

(i)     first, to the Holders of the RR Interest, in respect of interest, up to an amount equal to the Retained Certificate Interest Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date;

 

(ii)   second, to the Holders of the RR Interest, in reduction of the Certificate Balance thereof, an amount equal to the Retained Certificate Principal Distribution

 

    -329- 

     

    
Amount for such Distribution Date, until the outstanding Certificate Balance of the RR Interest has been reduced to zero; and

 

(i)          third, to the Holders of the RR Interest, in an amount equal to the Retained Certificate Realized Loss Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date;

 

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

 

(c)        On each Distribution Date, each Lower-Tier Regular Interest shall be deemed to receive distributions in respect of principal or reimbursement of Realized Losses or Retained Certificate Realized Losses, as applicable, in an amount equal to the amount of principal or reimbursement of Realized Losses or Retained Certificate Realized Losses, as applicable, actually distributable to the Holders of the respective Related Certificates as provided in Section 4.01(a), Section 4.01(b), Section 4.01(d), Section 4.01(f) and Section 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 or Retained Certificate Interest Distribution Amount, as applicable, in respect of its Related Certificates, plus (A) a pro rata portion of the Interest Distribution Amount in respect of (i) in the case of the Class LA1, Class LA2, Class LA3, Class LASB, Class LA4 and Class LA5 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 LD and Class LE Uncertificated Interests, the Class X-D Certificates, (iv) in the case of the Class LF Uncertificated Interest, the Class X-F Certificates, (vi) in the case of the Class LG Uncertificated Interest, the Class X-G Certificates, and (vii) in the case of the Class LH Uncertificated Interest, the Class X-H Certificates, and (B) in the case of the LRR Uncertificated Interest, the Retained Certificate Interest Distribution Amount in respect of the RR Interest, 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) or Section 4.01(b), as applicable. 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 and Retained Certificate Realized Losses, as provided in Section 4.01(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.

 

    -330- 

     

    
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 Aggregate 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 or Retained Certificate Realized Losses, as applicable (with interest as provided herein) 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, in each case net of any Liquidation Fees payable therefrom, shall be distributable as follows: if any Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium is collected during any particular Collection Period with respect to any Mortgage Loan, then on the Distribution Date corresponding to that Collection Period, the Certificate Administrator shall pay that Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium (net of Liquidation Fees or Workout Fees payable therefrom) in the following manner: (x)(i) to each of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-SB, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates, the product of (A) the Non-Retained Percentage of such Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium, (B) the related Base Interest Fraction for such Class of Certificates, and (C) a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the amount of principal distributed to such Class of Certificates for that Distribution Date, and the denominator of which is the total amount of principal distributed to all Principal Balance Certificates (other than the RR Interest) for that Distribution Date, (ii) to the Class X-A Certificates, the excess, if any, of (A) the product of (I) the Non-Retained Percentage of such Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium and (II) a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the amount of principal distributed to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-SB, Class A-4 and Class A-5 for that Distribution Date, and the denominator of which is the total amount of principal distributed to all Principal Balance Certificates (other than the RR Interest) for that Distribution Date, over (B) the amount of such Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium distributed to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-SB, Class A-4 and Class A-5 Certificates as described above, and (iii) to the Class X-B Certificates, any remaining portion of the Non-Retained Percentage of such Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium and (y) to the RR Interest, the Required Credit Risk Retention Percentage of such Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium.

 

For purposes of the first paragraph of 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 (other than the RR Interest), 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

 

    -331- 

     

    
on such Mortgage Loan and (ii) the applicable Discount Rate; provided that: (a) under no circumstances will the Base Interest Fraction be greater than 1.0; (b) if the applicable Discount Rate is greater than or equal to the Mortgage Rate on such Mortgage Loan and is greater than or equal to the Pass-Through Rate on such Class 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 or REO Loan and distributable on any Distribution Date shall be a rate per annum equal to (i) if a discount rate was used in the calculation of the applicable Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge pursuant to the terms of the relevant Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be, 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 or REO Loan, as the case may be, the yield calculated by the linear interpolation of the yields (as reported under the heading “U.S. Government Securities/Treasury Constant Maturities” in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) published by the Federal Reserve Board for the week most recently ended before the date of the relevant prepayment (or deemed prepayment) of U.S. Treasury constant maturities with a maturity date, one longer and one shorter, most nearly approximating the related stated Maturity Date (in the case of a Mortgage Loan or REO Loan that is not related to an ARD Loan) or the related Anticipated Repayment Date (in the case of a Mortgage Loan or REO 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 Class X-D, Class X-F, Class X-G, Class X-H, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class V or Class R Certificates. After the Certificate Balances of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-SB, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates have been reduced to zero, the Non-Retained Percentage of all Yield Maintenance Charges and Prepayment Premiums with respect to the Mortgage Loans shall be distributed to the Class X-B Certificates and the Required Credit Risk Retention Percentage of all Yield Maintenance Charges and Prepayment Premiums with respect to the Mortgage Loans shall be distributed to the RR Interest.

 

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 this 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.

    -332- 

     

    
 

(f)        On each Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall (i) withdraw amounts from the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and shall distribute such amounts to reimburse the Holders of the Regular Certificates (other than the RR Interest) (in order of distribution priority) (first deeming such amounts to be distributed with respect to the Related Lower Tier Regular Interests) up to an amount equal to all Realized Losses, if any, previously deemed allocated to them and unreimbursed after application of the Available Funds for such Distribution Date and (ii) withdraw amounts from the Retained Certificate Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and shall distribute such amounts to reimburse the Holders of the RR Interest (first deeming such amounts to be distributed with respect to the Related Lower Tier Regular Interests) up to an amount equal to all Retained Certificate Realized Losses, if any, previously deemed allocated to them and unreimbursed after application of the Retained Certificate Available Funds for such Distribution Date. Amounts paid from the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and the Retained Certificate Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account shall not reduce the Certificate Balances of the Classes of Certificates receiving such distributions. Any amounts remaining in the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and the Retained Certificate Gain-on-Sale Account after such distributions shall be applied to offset future shortfalls and Realized Losses and Retained Certificate Realized Losses, as applicable, with respect to the Principal Balance Certificates and related Realized Losses and Retained Certificate Realized Losses, as applicable, in each case allocable to the Regular Certificates. Upon termination of the Trust, any amounts remaining in the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and the Retained Certificate 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 Section 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 or Retained Certificate Realized Losses, as applicable, previously allocated to such Certificate) will be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

 

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

 

    -333- 

     

    

 

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

 

(i)         Distributions in reimbursement of Realized Losses or Retained Certificate Realized Losses, as applicable, previously allocated to the Regular Certificates shall be made in the amounts and manner specified in Section 4.01(a), Section 4.01(b) or Section 4.01(d), 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 or Retained Certificate Realized Losses, as applicable, previously allocated to a Class of Certificates which has since been retired shall be to the prior

(c)        Each of the Master Servicers and the Special Servicers 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 such Master Servicer or such 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 such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as applicable, with an Investor Certification or has executed a “click-through” confidentiality agreement in accordance with Section 3.13 (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 applicable Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s Internet website, such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as applicable, 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. No Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall be liable for dissemination of this information in accordance with this Agreement, and no Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be responsible for any information delivered, produced, or made available pursuant to Section 3.13, other than information produced by such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as applicable; provided that such information otherwise meets the requirements set forth herein with respect to the form and substance of such information or reports.

supplemental information to be provided by the applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer. Unless the Certificate Administrator has actual knowledge that any report or file received from such 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 and/or Retained Certificate Realized Losses, as applicable, to the Certificates in accordance with Section 4.04.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of a Master Servicer or a 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 such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer so fails because such disclosure, in the reasonable belief of such Master Servicer or such 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 applicable Master Servicer or the applicable 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).

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

    -341- 

     

    

 

Master Servicer’s or such Special Servicer’s possession, as applicable, such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, shall provide or make available (or make available 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 applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer may require a written confirmation executed by the requesting Person substantially in such form as may be reasonably acceptable to such Master Servicer or such 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 such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer may conclusively rely. In addition, the applicable Master Servicer and the applicable 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-1B that the 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 applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer shall (i) remit to the Certificate Administrator for deposit from its own funds into the Lower-Tier

Loans serviced by such Master Servicer 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 such P&I Advances or (iii) make such P&I Advances in the form of any combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the
total amount of P&I Advances to be made. Any amounts held in the applicable Collection Account for future distribution and
so used to make P&I Advances shall be appropriately reflected in the applicable Master Servicer’s records and replaced
by such Master Servicer by deposit in its 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 applicable Master Servicer shall notify the Certificate Administrator of (i) the aggregate
amount of P&I Advances to be made by such Master Servicer for a Distribution Date and (ii) the amount of any Nonrecoverable
P&I Advances with respect to Mortgage Loans serviced by such Master Servicer for such Distribution Date, on or before two
(2) Business Days prior to such Distribution Date. If the applicable 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 such Master

 

    -342- 

     

    

 

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 applicable 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 applicable Collection Account for payment to CREFC® on such Distribution
Date.

 

If the applicable Master Servicer or the Trustee makes a P&I Advance with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan with a related Serviced Companion Loan, then it shall provide to the related other master servicer and Other Trustee under the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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.

 

If the applicable Master Servicer or the Trustee makes a P&I Advance with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, then it shall provide to the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer and Non-Serviced Trustee written notice of the amount of such P&I Advance 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 each Master Servicer with respect to any Distribution Date, and each Mortgage Loan for which it acts as Master Servicer, shall be equal to: (i) the Periodic Payments (net of related Servicing Fees and, in the case of any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, a fee accruing at the related Non-Serviced Primary Servicing Fee Rate) other than Balloon Payments, that were due on such Mortgage Loan (including any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any REO Loan (other than any portion of an REO Loan related to a Companion Loan) for which it acts as Master Servicer 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 applicable Master Servicer) and (ii) with respect to each such Mortgage Loan for which it acts as Master Servicer that is delinquent in respect of its Balloon Payment as of the P&I Advance Date (including any REO Loan (other than any portion of an REO Loan related to a Companion 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 applicable Master Servicer to make such P&I Advances is mandatory, and with respect to any Mortgage Loan (including any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or REO Loan (other than any portion of an REO Loan related to a Companion 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.

 

(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 Serviced Mortgage Loan, the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer or the Trustee shall make its determination that a P&I Advance

 

    -343- 

     

    

 

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

 

With respect to each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer or the Trustee shall make its determination (based on information provided by the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer and Non-Serviced Special Servicer) that a P&I Advance that has been made on such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan 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 independently of any determination made by the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer, the applicable Non-Serviced Special Servicer or the Non-Serviced Trustee, as the case may be, under the applicable Non-Serviced PSA in respect of the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan. If the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer or the Trustee determines that a proposed P&I Advance with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if made, or any outstanding P&I Advance with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan previously made, would be, or is, as applicable, a Nonrecoverable Advance, the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall provide the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer and Non-Serviced Special Servicer written notice of such determination within two (2) Business Days of the date of such determination. If the applicable Master Servicer receives written notice from the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or the

 

    -344- 

     

    

 

related Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as the case may be, that either has determined, or the Non-Serviced Trustee 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 applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special 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 applicable Master Servicer and the Trustee shall not be required to make any additional P&I Advances with respect to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan unless and until such 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 applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special 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 applicable 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 applicable 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, however, 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 applicable 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.

 

(e)        Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) neither the applicable 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 and (ii) if an Appraisal Reduction Amount has been determined with respect to any Mortgage Loan (or, in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, an “appraisal reduction amount” has been made in accordance with the related Non-Serviced PSA and the applicable 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 Section 4.03(e), and (y) a fraction, expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which is equal to the Stated Principal

 

    -345- 

     

    

 

Balance of such Mortgage Loan immediately prior to such Distribution Date, net of the related Appraisal Reduction Amount (or, in the case of any 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 applicable Master Servicer or the Trustee be required to make a P&I Advance with respect to any Companion Loan.

 

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 Realized Loss and Retained
Certificate Realized Loss for such Distribution Date. Any allocation of Realized Losses or Retained Certificate 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 or Retained Certificate 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 or Retained
Certificate Realized Losses shall constitute an allocation of losses and other shortfalls experienced by the Trust. Reimbursement
of previously allocated Realized Losses and Retained Certificate 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 applicable 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 Aggregate Principal Distribution Amount (and corresponding to a reduction of the Principal
Distribution Amount and Retained Certificate Principal Distribution Amount) are subsequently recovered on the related Mortgage
Loan, the amount of such recovery will be added to the Certificate Balance of the Class or Classes of Principal Balance Certificates
that previously were allocated Realized Losses and Retained Certificate Realized Losses, as applicable, and in the case of Realized
Losses, in sequential order according to the priority of payments for the Principal Balance Certificates (other than the RR Interest)
(and in the case of the Principal Balance Certificates that are Senior Certificates, on a pro rata basis according to the
amount of unreimbursed Realized Losses on such Classes), in each case up to the amount of the unreimbursed Realized Losses and
Retained Certificate Realized Losses, as applicable, allocated to such Class of Principal Balance Certificates.

 

(b)        (I) On each Distribution Date, the Certificate Balances of the Principal Balance Certificates (other than the RR Interest) 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; (II) on each Distribution Date, the Certificate Balance of the RR Interest will be reduced without distribution, as a write-off to the extent of any Retained Certificate Realized Losses with respect to such Distribution Date. Any such write off under (I) above shall be allocated in the following order:

 

    -346- 

     

    

 

(i)         first, to the Class H certificates;

 

(ii)        second, to the Class G certificates;

 

(iii)       third, to the Class F certificates;

 

(iv)       fourth, to the Class E certificates;

 

(v)        fifth, to the Class D certificates;

 

(vi)       sixth, to the Class C certificates;

 

(vii)      seventh, to the Class B certificates; and

 

(viii)     eighth, to the Class A-S Certificates and then, pro rata (based on their respective Certificate Balances), to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-SB, Class A-4 and Class A-5 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 or Retained Certificate Realized Losses allocated to a Class of Principal Balance Certificates pursuant to Section 4.04(a) or Section 4.04(b), 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 has occurred and is continuing) and (y) determining the Voting
Rights of the related Classes for purposes of removal of the applicable Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, Allocated
Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts (with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, to the extent allocated to the related
Mortgage Loan) shall be allocated to each Class of Certificates (other than the RR Interest) in reverse sequential order to
notionally reduce the related Certificate Balances until the Certificate Balance of each such Class is reduced to zero
(i.e., first, to the Class H Certificates, second, to the Class G Certificates, third, to the
Class F Certificates, fourth, to the Class E Certificates, fifth, to the Class D Certificates, sixth, to
the Class C Certificates, seventh, to the Class B Certificates, eighth, to the Class A-S Certificates, and finally, pro
rata based on their respective interest entitlements, to the Senior Certificates (other than the Class X-A, Class X-B,
Class X-D, Class X-F, Class X-G and Class X-H Certificates)).

 

Appraisal Reduction Amounts and Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts allocated to a related Mortgage Loan will be allocated between the RR Interest on the one hand and the Senior Certificates and Subordinate Certificates, on the other hand, based on the Required Credit Risk Retention Percentage and the Non-Retained Percentage, respectively.

 

As of the first Determination Date following a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) becoming an AB Modified Loan, the applicable 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 applicable Special Servicer

 

    -347- 

     

    

 

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 applicable Master Servicer that a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan has become an AB Modified Loan, the applicable Master 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 applicable Master Servicer to calculate whether a Collateral Deficiency Amount exists with respect to such AB Modified Loan, and (ii) as of the first Determination Date following receipt by the applicable Master Servicer of the appraisal and any other information set forth in the immediately preceding clause (i) that the applicable Master Servicer reasonably expects to receive, calculate whether a Collateral Deficiency Amount exists with respect to such AB Modified Loan, taking into account the most recent appraisal obtained by the Non-Serviced Special Servicer with respect to such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, and all other information in its possession 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 applicable Master Servicer thereof. Upon reasonable prior written request, the applicable Master Servicer shall provide the applicable Special Servicer with information in its possession that is reasonably required to calculate or recalculate any Collateral Deficiency Amount. None of the Master Servicers (with respect to Mortgage Loans (other than the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans)), the Special Servicers (with respect to Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans), the Operating Advisor, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall calculate or verify any Collateral Deficiency Amount.

 

For purposes of determining the Controlling Class and whether a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, Collateral Deficiency Amounts allocated to an AB Modified Loan will be allocated to each Class of Control Eligible Certificates in Reverse Sequential Order to notionally reduce the related Certificate Balances until the Certificate Balance of each such Class of Control Eligible Certificates is reduced to zero. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of determining the Controlling Class or the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, any Class of Control Eligible Certificates shall be allocated both applicable Appraisal Reduction Amounts and applicable Collateral Deficiency Amounts (the sum of which shall constitute the applicable Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount), in accordance with this Section 4.05(a), but only to the extent of the Allocated Appraisal Reduction Amounts and Allocated Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts.

 

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

 

The applicable Special Servicer (in the case of a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan)) shall promptly notify the applicable Master Servicer, and the applicable Master Servicer shall notify the Certificate Administrator, to the extent it receives such information, of the amount of any Appraisal Reduction Amount, any Collateral Deficiency

 

    -348- 

     

    

 

Amount and any resulting Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount allocated to each Mortgage Loan, AB Modified Loan or Serviced Whole Loan (which notification shall be satisfied through delivery of such Appraisal Reduction Amount as included in the CREFC® Appraisal Reduction Amount Template included in the CREFC® Investor Reporting Package with respect to the Collateral Deficiency Amount and the Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount) and the Certificate Administrator shall promptly post notice of such Appraisal Reduction Amount, Collateral Deficiency Amount and/or Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount, as applicable, to the Certificate Administrator’s Website. Based on information in its possession, the Certificate Administrator shall determine from time to time which Class of Certificates is the Controlling Class. Promptly upon its determination of a change in the Controlling Class, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor of such event, including the identity and contact information of the new Controlling Class Certificateholder and the identity of the Controlling Class as set forth in Section 3.23(m) (the cost of obtaining such information from the Depository being an expense of the Trust).

 

(b)        (i) The Holders of the majority of Voting Rights 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 (as applicable) in respect of such Class shall have the right, at their sole expense, to require the applicable Special Servicer to order (or, with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, require the applicable Master Servicer to request from the applicable Non-Serviced Special Servicer) a second Appraisal with respect to 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”). The applicable Special Servicer shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that such second Appraisal is delivered within thirty (30) days from receipt of the Requesting Holders’ written request and shall 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 applicable Special Servicer to obtain an additional Appraisal). With respect to any such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the applicable 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 applicable Special Servicer.

 

(ii)        Upon receipt of any supplemental Appraisal pursuant to clause (i) above, the applicable Master Servicer (for Collateral Deficiency Amounts on Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans), 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 applicable Special Servicer (for any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan)) 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 (as applicable) is warranted, and if so warranted, such Person shall recalculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount, as applicable, based on such supplemental Appraisal and (for any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan)) any information received from the

 

    -349- 

     

    

 

applicable Master Servicer. If required by such recalculation, the Appraised-Out Class shall be reinstated as the Controlling Class and each other 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, Allocated Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount, as applicable. The Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and the Special Servicers shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the applicable Master Servicer’s calculation or determination of any Collateral Deficiency Amount with respect to Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans. The Holders of an Appraised-Out Class requesting any supplemental Appraisal pursuant to clause (i) above shall refrain from exercising 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 applicable Special Servicer of any request to obtain a supplemental Appraisal pursuant to clause (i) above to but excluding the date on which either (A) the applicable Special Servicer determines that no recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount is warranted or (B) the applicable 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 next most senior Class of Control Eligible Certificates that is not an Appraised-Out Class, if any.

 

(c)        With respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), and each 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 applicable Special Servicer shall (1) within thirty (30) days of the occurrence or 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 applicable 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 applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor and ((i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Consultation Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is an Excluded Loan as to such party) 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 applicable Special Servicer from the applicable Master Servicer that is in the possession of such Master Servicer and reasonably necessary to calculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount, the applicable Special Servicer shall determine or redetermine, as applicable, and report to the applicable Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor and ((i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Consultation Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is an Excluded Loan as to such party) the Directing Certificateholder, the amount and calculation or recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction

 

    -350- 

     

    

 

Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount with respect to such Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, and such report shall be delivered in the CREFC® Appraisal Reduction Template format; provided, however, that the applicable Special Servicer shall not be liable for failure to comply with such duties insofar as such failure results from a failure of the applicable Master Servicer to provide sufficient information to the applicable Special Servicer to comply with such duties or failure by the applicable Master Servicer to otherwise comply with its obligations hereunder. Following the applicable Master Servicer’s receipt from the applicable Special Servicer of the calculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amounts, the applicable Master Servicer shall provide such information to the Certificate Administrator in the form of the CREFC® Loan Periodic Update File and the CREFC® Appraisal Reduction Template provided to it by the applicable Special Servicer or such other report or reports mutually agreed upon between the applicable Master Servicer and the Certificate Administrator will calculate the Allocated Appraisal Reduction Amount and the Allocated Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount. Such report of the Appraisal Reduction Amount shall also be promptly forwarded by the applicable Master Servicer (or the applicable Special Servicer if the related Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan), to the extent the related Serviced Companion Loan has been included in an Other Securitization, to the Other Servicer and Other Trustee of such Other Securitization into which the related Serviced Companion Loan has been sold, or to the holder of any related Serviced Companion Loan by the applicable Master Servicer (or the applicable Special Servicer if the related Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan). If the applicable Special Servicer is required to redetermine the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount, such redetermined Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount shall replace the prior Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount, as applicable, with respect to such Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable. Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event (and unless the related Mortgage Loan is an Excluded Loan as to such party), the applicable Special Servicer shall consult with the Directing Certificateholder with respect to any Appraisal, valuation or downward adjustment in connection with an Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to Section 4.05(b), the applicable Special Servicer will not be required to obtain an Appraisal or conduct an internal valuation, as applicable, with respect to a Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan or Serviced Whole Loan as to which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred to the extent the applicable 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 such Appraisal Reduction Event. Instead, the applicable Special Servicer may use such prior Appraisal or valuation, as applicable, in calculating any Appraisal Reduction Amount with respect to such Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan or Serviced Whole Loan; provided that the applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer shall deliver by electronic mail to the applicable Special Servicer any information in its possession that is reasonably required to determine, calculate, redetermine or recalculate any Appraisal Reduction Amount and Allocated Appraisal Reduction Amount, using reasonable efforts to deliver such information, within four (4) Business Days following the applicable Special Servicer’s reasonable request therefor; provided that the

 

    -351- 

     

    

 

applicable Special Servicer’s failure to timely make such request shall not relieve the applicable Master Servicer of its obligation to use reasonable efforts to provide such information to the applicable Special Servicer within four (4) Business Days following the applicable Special Servicer’s reasonable request. The Master Servicer shall not calculate Appraisal Reduction Amounts.

 

(d)       Any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), any related Serviced Companion Loan and any Serviced Whole Loan previously subject to an Appraisal Reduction Amount and Allocated 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 and Allocated 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 AB 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 any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loans. Any Appraisal Reduction Amount in respect of any Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan will be allocated in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement or, if no allocation is specified in the related Intercreditor Agreement, then, pro rata, between the related Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan and the 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 portions 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 subpart E, part I of subchapter J 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 or the RR Interest 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, 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 and the RR Interest
their allocable share of the Excess Interest and Excess Interest Distribution Account, in the time or times and in the manner
required by the Code.

 

    -352- 

     

    

 

(b)        If the Certificate Administrator receives notice that any Class V Certificate or an RR Interest is held through a “middleman” as defined by the WHFIT Regulations, 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 notice 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 any notice received pursuant to the first sentence of this paragraph is incorrect. As of the Closing Date, no Class V Certificate or RR Interest is held through a middleman.

 

(c)        The Certificate Administrator shall report required WHFIT information using the 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 or an RR Interest, 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 or an RR Interest, 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.

 

(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 Rule 144A 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 beneficial owners of Certificates that are Privileged Persons may submit questions to (A) the

3.13(e), the Mortgage Loans (excluding any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) 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 applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer, the
applicable 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 General Master Servicer to the following: REAM_InvestorRelations@wellsfargo.com), in each case within a
commercially reasonable period of time following receipt thereof. Following receipt of an Inquiry, the applicable
Master Servicer, the applicable 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 such
Master Servicer, such 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 applicable Master
Servicer, the applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer, the applicable 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 answering the Inquiry would or is
reasonably expected to result in a waiver of an attorney-client privilege or 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 applicable Master Servicer, the applicable 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

and Servicing Agreement provides that a
Master Servicer, a 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, a Master Servicer, a 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 a Master Servicer, a

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 by the Initial Purchasers to ECMBS LLC or an affiliate
thereof) is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the Securities Act, and under the applicable state securities laws,
then the following subsections (a)-(d) shall apply.

 

(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 (other than any Class V Certificates) 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 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 any Risk Retention Certificates or RR Interest during the RR Interest Transfer Restriction Period) offered and sold to Qualified Institutional Buyers in reliance on 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. Additionally, the Class R and Class V Certificates shall only be in the form of Definitive Certificates, and the RR Interest shall be issued in the form of Definitive Certificates at all times during the RR Interest Transfer Restriction Period.

 

(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, however, 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 form of Definitive Certificates (bearing, in the case of a Definitive Certificate issued for a Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate, the same legends regarding transfer restrictions borne by such Book-Entry Certificate), and

 

    -360- 

     

    

 

thereafter the Certificate Registrar shall recognize the Holders of such Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders under this Agreement. 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.

The Certificate Administrator shall hold the RR Interest in safekeeping and shall release the Definitive Certificate representing a portion of the requesting Retaining Party’s RR Interest only upon receipt of written instructions from the applicable Holder of the RR Interest and the Retaining Sponsor’s written consent, or in connection with a transfer, in accordance with Section 5.03(i), and in accordance with any authentication procedures as may be utilized by the Certificate Administrator and with this Agreement. There shall be, and hereby is, established by the Certificate Administrator an account which will be designated the “Retained Interest Safekeeping Account” and into which the RR Interest shall be held and which shall be governed by and subject to this Agreement. In addition, on and after the date hereof, the Certificate Administrator may establish any number of subaccounts to the Retained Interest Safekeeping Account for each Retaining Party. The RR Interest to be delivered in physical form to the Certificate Administrator shall be delivered as set forth herein. No amounts distributable to the RR Interest shall be remitted to the Retained Interest Safekeeping Account, but shall be remitted directly to each Retaining Party in accordance with written instructions provided separately by each Retaining Party to the Certificate Administrator. Under no circumstances by virtue of safekeeping the RR Interest shall the Certificate Administrator be obligated to bring legal action or institute proceedings against any person on behalf of the Retaining Parties. During the RR Interest Transfer Restriction Period and for such longer time as the Retaining Parties may request, the Certificate Administrator shall hold the Definitive Certificate representing the RR Interest at the below location, or any other location; provided the Certificate Administrator has given notice to each of the Retaining Parties of such new location:

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

 

(g)        Non-Book Entry Certificate to Book-Entry Certificate. If a holder of a Non-Book Entry Certificate (other than (a) a Risk Retention Certificate or a Vertical RR Interest during the Transfer Restriction Period or (b) a Class R Certificate) wishes at any time to exchange its interest in such Non-Book Entry Certificate for an interest in a Book-Entry Certificate of the same Class, or to transfer all or part of such Non-Book Entry Certificate to a Person who is entitled to take delivery thereof in the form of an interest in a Book-Entry Certificate, such holder may, subject to the rules and procedures of Euroclear or Clearstream, if applicable, and the Depository, cause the exchange of all or part of such Non-Book Entry Certificate for an equivalent beneficial interest in the appropriate Book-Entry Certificate of the same Class. Upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, at its office designated in Section 5.07, of (1) such Non-Book Entry Certificate, duly endorsed as provided herein, (2) instructions from such holder directing the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, to credit, or cause to be credited, a beneficial interest in the applicable Book-Entry Certificate equal to the portion of the Certificate Balance of the Non-Book Entry Certificate to be exchanged, such instructions to contain information regarding the participant account with the Depository to be credited with such increase and (3) a certificate in the form of Exhibit M hereto (in the event that the applicable Book-Entry Certificate is the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate), in the form of Exhibit N hereto (in the event that the applicable Book-Entry Certificate is the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate) or in the form of Exhibit O hereto (in the event that the applicable Book-Entry Certificate is the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate), then the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, shall cancel, or cause to be canceled, all or part of such Non-Book Entry

 

    -365- 

     

    

 

Certificate, shall, if applicable, execute, authenticate and deliver to the transferor a new Non-Book Entry Certificate equal to the aggregate Certificate Balance of the portion retained by such transferor and shall instruct the Depository to increase, or cause to be increased, such Book-Entry Certificate by the aggregate Certificate Balance of the portion of the Non-Book Entry Certificate to be exchanged and to credit, or cause to be credited, to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the applicable Book-Entry Certificate equal to the Certificate Balance of the portion of the Non-Book Entry Certificate so canceled. Upon the written direction of the Depositor (which may be by email to cts.cmbs.bond.admin@wellsfargo.com) or its Affiliate, the Certificate Registrar shall execute any instrument as may be reasonably required by the Depository to effect such exchange.

 

(h)        Non-Book Entry Certificates on Initial Issuance Only. Subject to the issuance of Definitive Certificates, if and when permitted by Section 5.02(d), and subject to the issuance and transfer of a Risk Retention Certificate or a Vertical RR Interest during the Transfer Restriction Period in accordance with Section 5.03(i), no Non-Book Entry Certificate shall be issued to a transferee of an interest in any Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate, Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or to a transferee of a Non-Book Entry Certificate (or any portion thereof).

 

(i)         Transfers of RR Interest. At all times, if a Transfer of any RR Interest after the Closing Date is to be made, then the following documents shall be delivered to the Certificate Administrator, who will facilitate the transfer in conjunction with the Certificate Registrar who shall refuse to register such transfer unless it receives (and, upon receipt, may conclusively rely upon) (i) if such RR Interest is in the possession of the Certificate Administrator, a letter notifying the Certificate Administrator in writing of the Holder of an RR Interest’s intention to transfer such RR Interest from the Retained Interest Safekeeping Account and identifying the transferee, (ii) a certification from such Certificateholder’s prospective Transferee substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D-3, which such certification must be countersigned by the Retaining Sponsor with a medallion stamp guarantee of the Retaining Sponsor, (iii) a certification from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D-4, which such certification must be countersigned by the Retaining Sponsor with a medallion stamp guarantee of the Retaining Sponsor, (iv) if such RR Interest will be in the possession of the Certificate Administrator after such transfer, a completed W-9 by the prospective transferee and (v) contact information and wiring instructions for the prospective transferee. Upon the completion of any transfer during the RR Interest Transfer Restriction Period, the Certificate Administrator shall issue a receipt to such transferor and transferee. Upon receipt of the foregoing certifications, the Certificate Registrar shall, subject to Section 5.02(e) and Section 5.03(n), reflect such RR Interest in the name of the prospective Transferee. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall an RR Interest be held as a Book-Entry Certificate during the RR Interest Transfer Restriction Period. Any attempted or purported transfer in violation of this Section 5.03(i) shall be null and void ab initio and shall vest no rights in any purported transferee and shall not relieve the transferor of any obligations with respect to the applicable Certificates.

 

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

 

    -366- 

     

    

 

(including the certification requirements intended to ensure that such transfers comply with Rule 144A or Regulation S under the Act, at the case may be) and such other procedures as may from time to time be adopted by the Certificate Registrar.

 

(k)        Restricted Period. Prior to the termination of the Restricted Period with respect to the issuance of the Certificates, transfers of interests in the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate to U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S) shall be limited to transfers made pursuant to the provisions of subsection (e) above.

 

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

 

(m)       All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer and exchange shall be canceled and subsequently destroyed by the Certificate Registrar in accordance with the Certificate Registrar’s customary procedures.

 

(n)        With respect to the ERISA Restricted Certificates, no sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition (other than any initial transfer to the Initial Purchasers or, with respect to the Risk Retention Certificates and the RR Interest, the applicable Retaining Parties) of any such Certificate shall be made unless the Trustee and Certificate Administrator shall have received either (i) a representation letter from the proposed purchaser or transferee of such Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1 attached hereto, to the effect that such proposed purchaser or transferee is not and will not be (A) an employee benefit plan subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA or a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code, or a governmental plan (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA) or other plan subject to any federal, state or local law (“Similar Law”) which is, to a material extent, similar to the foregoing provisions of ERISA or the Code (each, a “Plan”) or (B) a person acting on behalf of or using the assets of any such Plan (including an entity whose underlying assets include Plan assets by reason of investment in the entity by such Plan and the application of Department of Labor Regulation § 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA), other than an insurance company using the assets of its general account under circumstances whereby the purchase and holding of such Certificates by such insurance company will be exempt from the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA and the Code under Sections I and III of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 (or, in the case of a Plan subject to Similar Law, where the purchase, holding and disposition of such Certificate will not constitute or result in a non-exempt violation of Similar Law) or (ii) if such Certificate is presented for registration in the name of a purchaser or transferee that is any of the foregoing, an Opinion of Counsel in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Depositor to the effect that the acquisition and holding of such Certificate by such purchaser or transferee will not constitute or result in a non-exempt “prohibited transaction” within the meaning of ERISA or Section 4975 of 

    -367- 

     

    

 

the Code or a non-exempt violation of any Similar Law, and will not subject the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Master Servicers, the Special Servicers, any sub-servicer, the Initial Purchasers, the Underwriters, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Depositor to any obligation or liability (including obligations or liabilities under ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or any such Similar Law) in addition to those set forth in the Agreement. The Trustee and Certificate Administrator shall not register the sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition of any ERISA Restricted Certificate unless the Trustee and Certificate Administrator have received either the representation letter described in clause (i) above or the Opinion of Counsel described in clause (ii) above. The costs of any of the foregoing representation letters or Opinions of Counsel shall not be borne by any of the Depositor, either Master Servicer, either Special Servicer, any sub-servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Initial Purchasers, the Underwriters, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Trust. Each Certificate Owner of an ERISA Restricted Certificate shall be deemed to represent that it is not and will not become 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(n) shall be deemed absolutely null and void ab initio, to the extent permitted under applicable law. The RR Interest may not be purchased by or transferred to any prospective purchaser or transferee that is or will be a Plan, or any person acting on behalf of a Plan or using the assets of a Plan (including an entity whose underlying assets include Plan assets by reason of investment in the entity by such Plan and the application of Department of Labor Regulation § 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA) to purchase such Class R or Class V Certificate.

 

(o)        No Class R or Class V Certificate may be purchased by or transferred to any prospective purchaser or transferee that is or will be a Plan, or any person acting on behalf of a Plan or using the assets of a Plan (including an entity whose underlying assets include Plan assets by reason of investment in the entity by such Plan and the application of Department of Labor Regulation § 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA) to purchase such Class R or Class V Certificate. Each prospective transferee of a Class R or Class V Certificate shall deliver to the transferor and the Certificate Administrator a representation letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2, stating that the prospective transferee is not and will not become a Plan or a person acting on behalf of or using the assets of a Plan. Each Holder of a Class R or Class V Certificate shall be deemed to represent that it is not and will not become a Person specified in the second preceding sentence. Any attempted or purported transfer in violation of these transfer restrictions shall be null and void ab initio and shall vest no rights in any purported transferee and shall not relieve the transferor of any obligations with respect to the applicable Certificates.

 

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

 

(i)         Each Person acquiring or holding any Residual Ownership Interest shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall not acquire or hold such Residual Ownership Interest

 

    -368- 

     

    

 

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

 

(ii)        No Residual Ownership Interest may be Transferred, and no such Transfer shall be registered in the Certificate Register, without the express written consent of the Certificate Registrar, and the Certificate Registrar shall not recognize the Transfer, and such proposed Transfer shall not be effective, without such consent with respect thereto. In connection with any proposed Transfer of any Residual Ownership Interest, the Certificate Registrar shall, as a condition to such consent, (x) require the proposed transferee to deliver, and the proposed transferee shall deliver to the Certificate Registrar and to the proposed transferor, an affidavit in substantially the form attached as Exhibit D-1 (a “Transferee Affidavit”) of the proposed transferee (A) that such proposed transferee is a Permitted Transferee and (B) stating that (1) the proposed transferee historically has paid its debts as they have come due and intends to do so in the future, (2) the proposed transferee understands that, as the holder of a Residual Ownership Interest, it may incur tax liabilities in excess of cash flows generated by the residual interest, (3) the proposed transferee intends to pay taxes associated with holding the Residual Ownership Interest as they become due, (4) the proposed transferee will not cause income with respect to the Residual Ownership Interest to be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty, of such proposed transferee or any other U.S. Tax Person, (5) the proposed transferee will not transfer the Residual Ownership Interest to any Person that does not provide a Transferee Affidavit or as to which the proposed transferee has actual knowledge that such Person is not a Permitted Transferee or is acting as an agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) for a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, and (6) the proposed transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and to abide by the provisions of this Section 5.03(p) and (y) other than in connection with the initial issuance of a Class R Certificate, require a statement from the proposed transferor substantially in the form attached as Exhibit D-2 (the “Transferor Letter”), that the proposed transferor has no actual knowledge that the proposed transferee is not a Permitted Transferee and has no actual knowledge or reason to know that the proposed transferee’s statements in its Transferee Affidavit are false.

 

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

 

    -369- 

     

    

 

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

 

(q)        The Class R Certificates may only be transferred to and owned by Qualified Institutional Buyers.

 

(r)        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 the Certificateholders shall be required to provide the Certificate Administrator with such forms and such other information reasonably required by the Certificate Administrator. 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.

(ii)        Such Certificate Owner understands that the Non-Registered Certificates have not been and will not be registered or qualified under the Securities Act or any state

(iii)       Such Certificate Owner understands that, if the purchaser of a Non-Registered Certificate is not a Qualified Institution Buyer or a non-United States Securities Person, the Non-Registered Certificates purchased by such purchaser may not be transferred in book-entry form and may be transferred in physical form only in compliance with the restrictions in clause (ii)(C) above and no such transfer of the Non-Registered Certificates owned by such Certificate Owner will be permitted unless the purchaser provides certification that the transfer complies with such restrictions, as described in this Section 5.03(s).

 

(iv)       Such Certificate Owner is duly authorized to purchase the Non-Registered Certificates and its purchase of investments having the characteristics of the Non-Registered Certificate is authorized under, and not directly or indirectly in contravention of, any law, rule, regulation, charter, trust instrument or other operative document, investment guidelines or list of permissible or impermissible investments that is applicable to such Certificate Owner.

 

(t)        Each beneficial owner of a Certificate or any interest therein that is a Plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (an “ERISA Plan”) or a person acting on behalf of an ERISA Plan, as a condition of its purchase of such Certificate, will be deemed to have represented that (i) none of the Depositor, any Underwriter, any Initial Purchaser, the Trustee, the Master Servicers, the Special Servicers, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor or the Asset Representations Reviewer, or any of their respective affiliated entities (the “Transaction Parties”), has provided any investment recommendation or investment advice on which the ERISA Plan or the fiduciary making the investment decision for the Plan has relied in connection with the decision to acquire Certificates, and the Transaction Parties are not otherwise acting as a fiduciary (within the meaning of Section 3(21) of ERISA or Section 4975(e)(3) of the Code) to the ERISA Plan in connection with the ERISA Plan’s acquisition of Certificates (except where an exemption applies (all of the conditions of which are satisfied) or it would not otherwise result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code), and (ii) the Plan fiduciary is exercising its own independent judgment in evaluating the investment in the Certificates.

 

Section
5.04    Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If (a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered
to the Certificate Registrar, or the Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft
of any Certificate and (b) there is delivered to the Certificate Registrar such security or indemnity as may be required by it
to save it harmless, then, in the absence of actual notice to the Certificate Registrar that such

other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Master Servicers, the Special Servicers, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee,
the Certificate Registrar or any agent of any of them shall be affected by any notice to the contrary; provided, however,

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

(b)        In connection with any vote administered pursuant to this Agreement, voting Holders shall be required to certify their holdings in the manner set forth on the ballot, unless a specific manner is otherwise provided herein. Holders may only vote in accordance with their Voting Rights. Voting Rights with respect to any outstanding Class of Certificates shall be calculated by the Certificate Administrator in accordance with the definition of Voting Rights as of the record date for the vote. Only Classes with an outstanding Certificate Balance greater than zero as of the record date of the vote shall be permitted to vote. Once a Holder has cast its vote, the vote may be changed or retracted on or before the vote deadline. Any changes or retractions shall be communicated by the Certificateholder to the Certificate Administrator in writing on a ballot. After the vote deadline has passed, votes may not be changed or retracted by any Holder unless the Holder wishing to change or retract its vote holds a sufficient portion of the Voting Rights such that the Holder, by its vote alone, could approve or deny the proposition subject to a vote without taking into consideration the votes cast by any other Holder. Transferees or purchasers of any Class of Certificates are subject to and shall be bound by all votes of Holders initiated or conducted prior to its acquisition of such Certificate.

 

(c)        The Certificate Administrator may take up to fifteen (15) Business Days to tabulate the results of any vote. The Certificate Administrator shall use its reasonable efforts to resolve any illegible or incomplete ballots received prior to the voting deadline. Illegible or incomplete ballots that are received on the voting deadline or that cannot be resolved by the voting deadline shall not be counted. Promptly after the votes are tabulated, the Certificate Administrator shall prepare a notice announcing the results of the vote. Such notice shall include the percentage of Voting Rights in favor of the proposition, the percentage against the proposition and the percentage abstaining. In addition, the notice will announce whether the proposition has been adopted by Certificateholders. The notice shall be distributed in accordance with the methods described in Section 5.10(a) above. The Certificate Administrator shall also include such notice on the Form 10-D prepared in connection with the distribution period that corresponds with the date such notice is distributed. All vote tabulations shall be final and the Certificate Administrator shall not, absent manifest error, re-tabulate the votes or conduct a new vote for the same proposition.

 

(d)       Any and all reasonable expenses incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with administering any vote shall be borne by the Trust. The Certificate Administrator is under no obligation to advise Holders about the matter being voted on or answer questions other than process-related questions regarding the administration of the vote.

 

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

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 Servicers (including in its capacity as Companion Paying Agent, if applicable), the Special Servicers, 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 applicable Collection Account (including, without duplication, any subaccount thereof), as provided by Section 3.05(a)(xii).

Any failure to so notify the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable 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 such Master Servicer’s or such Special Servicer’s, as the case may be, defense of such claim is materially prejudiced thereby.

 

Each of the Master Servicers and the Special Servicers shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor from and against any claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses incurred by the Depositor or its Affiliates that arise out of or are based upon, severally and not jointly (i) a breach by such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as applicable, of any obligation it has to deliver information to the 17g-5 Information Provider as set forth in this Agreement, including Section 3.07(a), Section 3.08, Section 3.09(e), Section 3.12, Section 3.17(c) and Section 3.18(g) or (ii) a breach by such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as applicable, of any obligation it has set forth in Section 3.13(d), Section 3.13(g) and Section 3.13(i).

(h)        The Asset Representations Reviewer agrees to indemnify each Master Servicer (including in its capacity as Companion Paying Agent, if applicable), each 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, judgments, and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses (for the avoidance of doubt, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and expenses relating to the enforcement of such indemnity) 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; provided that such indemnity shall not cover indirect or consequential damages.

Section
6.05    Depositor, Master Servicers and Special Servicers Not to Resign. Subject to the provisions
of Section 6.03, none of the Master Servicers or the Special Servicers shall resign from their respective obligations and
duties hereby imposed on each of them except upon (a) determination that such party’s duties hereunder are no longer permissible
under applicable law or (b) in the case of a Master Servicer or a 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 such Master Servicer or such 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 and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) the Directing Certificateholder.
Unless applicable law requires the resignation of such Master Servicer or such 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 such Master
Servicer or such Special Servicer under clause (a) above shall become effective until the Trustee or a successor master
servicer or special servicer, as applicable, shall have assumed such Master Servicer’s or such Special Servicer’s,
as applicable, responsibilities and obligations in accordance with Section 7.02 and no such resignation by such Master
Servicer or such Special Servicer shall become effective until the Certificate Administrator shall have filed any required Form
8-K pursuant to Section 11.07 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 such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer,
pursuant to this Section 6.05, such Master Servicer or such 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 to be unreasonably withheld. The resigning party shall
pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable 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 such Master Servicer or such 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 6.08    The Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party.

provided, however, that, in the event that the applicable Special Servicer or the applicable Master Servicer, as the case may be, determines that immediate action, with respect to the foregoing matters or any Master Servicer Decision, or any other matter requiring consent of the Directing Certificateholder prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event in this Agreement (or any matter requiring consultation with the Directing Certificateholder, the Risk Retention Consultation Party or the Operating Advisor), is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders (or, with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the interest of the Certificateholders and the holders of any related Serviced Companion Loan) (as a collective whole (taking into account the subordinate or pari passu nature of any Companion Loans)), the applicable Special Servicer or the applicable Master Servicer, as the case may be, may take any such action without waiting for the Directing Certificateholder’s response (or without waiting to consult with the Directing Certificateholder, the Risk Retention Consultation Party or the Operating Advisor, as the case may be); provided that if such matter requires consent of or consultation with the Directing Certificateholder, the Risk Retention Consultation Party or the Operating Advisor pursuant to this Agreement, the applicable Special Servicer or the applicable Master Servicer, as the case may be, provides the Directing Certificateholder (or the Operating Advisor, if applicable) and the Risk Retention Consultation Party (if applicable) with prompt written notice following such action including a reasonably detailed explanation of the basis therefor. None of the Master Servicers or the Special Servicers is required to obtain the consent of the Directing Certificateholder for any of the foregoing actions or any other matter requiring consent of the Directing Certificateholder after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event; provided, however, that, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, the applicable Special Servicer shall consult with the Directing Certificateholder (only prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) in connection with any Major Decision not relating to an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder (and any other actions which otherwise require consultation with the Directing Certificateholder prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event hereunder) and consider alternative actions recommended by the Directing Certificateholder in respect thereof. If the applicable Master Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer have mutually agreed that the applicable Master Servicer will process any Major Decision, the applicable Master Servicer shall not be permitted to take any of the actions that constitute Major Decisions unless it has obtained the consent of the applicable Special Servicer, which consent will be deemed given (unless earlier objected to by the applicable Special Servicer) ten (10) Business Days after the applicable Special Servicer’s receipt from the applicable Master Servicer of the applicable Master Servicer’s written recommendation and analysis with respect to such Major Decision and all information reasonably requested by the applicable Special Servicer and reasonably available to the applicable Master Servicer in order to make an informed decision with respect to such Major Decision plus the time period provided to the Directing Certificateholder or other relevant party under this Agreement and, if applicable, any additional time period permitted in the related Intercreditor Agreement. Additionally, upon request, the applicable Special Servicer shall consult with the Risk Retention Consultation Party on a non-binding basis (provided, that prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the related Mortgage Loan must also be a Specially Serviced Loan) in connection with any Major Decision not relating to an Excluded Loan with respect to the Risk Retention Consultation Party and consider alternative actions recommended by the Risk Retention Consultation Party, in respect thereof. In

 

    -395- 

     

    
the event the applicable Special Servicer receives no response from the Directing Certificateholder or the Risk Retention Consultation Party within ten (10) Business Days following its written request for input on any required consultation, the applicable Special Servicer shall not be obligated to consult with the Directing Certificateholder or the Risk Retention Consultation Party, as applicable, on the specific matter; provided, however, that the failure of the Directing Certificateholder or the Risk Retention Consultation Party to respond shall not relieve the applicable Special Servicer from consulting with the Directing Certificateholder or the Risk Retention Consultation Party, as applicable, on any future matters with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan or an Excluded Loan with respect to such party) or Serviced Whole Loan. In addition, after a Control Termination Event, the applicable Special Servicer will also be required to consult with the Operating Advisor in connection with any proposed Major Decision (and any other actions which otherwise require consultation with the Operating Advisor after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event hereunder) and consider alternative actions recommended by the Operating Advisor, in respect thereof, provided that such consultation is on a non-binding basis. In the event that the applicable 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 applicable Special Servicer shall not be obligated to consult with the Operating Advisor on the specific matter; provided, however, that the failure of the Operating Advisor to respond on any specific matters shall not relieve the applicable Special Servicer from its obligation to consult with the Operating Advisor on any future matter with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan or any other Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the holder of the majority of the Controlling Class (regardless of whether a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing), the applicable 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.

 

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 6.08(a), (i) the applicable Special Servicer shall process all requests in respect of Specially Serviced Loans and any matter (other than as described in clause (ii)(B) below) that constitutes a Major Decision with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans, and (ii) the applicable Master Servicer shall process all requests in respect of (A) any matter that constitutes a Master Servicer Decision with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans and (B) any matter that constitutes a Major Decision with respect to a Non-Specially Serviced Loan that such Master Servicer and such Special Servicer have mutually agreed such Master Servicer shall process.

 

Upon receiving a request for any matter that constitutes a Major Decision with respect to a Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) that is not a Specially Serviced Loan, the applicable Master Servicer shall forward such request to the applicable Special Servicer and, unless such Master Servicer and such Special Servicer mutually agree that such Master Servicer shall process such request, such Special Servicer shall process such request (including, without limitation, interfacing with the Mortgagor) and such Master Servicer will

 

    -396- 

     

    
have no further obligation with respect to such request or the Major Decision. With respect to such request, the applicable Master Servicer shall continue to cooperate with the applicable Special Servicer by delivering any additional information in the applicable Master Servicer’s possession to the applicable Special Servicer requested by the applicable Special Servicer relating to such Major Decision. The applicable Master Servicer shall not be permitted to process any such Major Decision and shall not be required to interface with the Mortgagor or provide a written recommendation and analysis with respect to any such Major Decision. Prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the applicable Special Servicer shall within ten (10) Business Days forward such request to the Directing Certificateholder together with the Special Servicer’s written recommendation and analysis. The Directing Certificateholder shall promptly provide notice to the applicable Special Servicer of any objection the Directing Certificateholder has to such Special Servicer’s written recommendation and analysis (provided that if such written consent has not been received by the applicable Special Servicer within the applicable time period, then the Directing Certificateholder will be deemed to have approved such action).

 

With respect to (i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, any Major Decision relating to a Specially Serviced Loan, and (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, any Major Decision relating to a Mortgage Loan (in each case, other than with respect to an Excluded Loan with respect to the Risk Retention Consultation Party or the holder of the majority of the RR Interest), the Special Servicer shall provide copies of any notice, information and report that it is required to provide to the Directing Certificateholder pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such Major Decision to the Risk Retention Consultation Party, within the same time frame it is required to provide such notice, information or report to the Directing Certificateholder (for this purpose, without regard to whether such items are actually required to be provided to the Directing Certificateholder under this Agreement due to the occurrence of a Control Termination Event or a Consultation Termination Event).

 

In addition, with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class, for so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Certificateholder, subject to any rights, if any, of the related Companion Holder to advise the applicable Special Servicer with respect to the related Serviced Whole Loan, pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement, may direct the applicable 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 paragraphs of this Section 6.08(a) or this paragraph may require or cause the applicable Master Servicer or applicable 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 (and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, subject to the rights of the holders of the related Companion Loan), including without limitation the obligation of either Master Servicer and either Special Servicer to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard, or expose the Master Servicers, the Special Servicers, 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 either

 

    -397- 

     

    
Master Servicer or either Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder or cause either Master Servicer or either Special Servicer, as applicable, to act, or fail to act, in a manner which in the reasonable judgment of the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, is not in the best interests of the Certificateholders.

 

In the event a Special Servicer or a Master Servicer, as applicable, determines that a refusal to consent by the Directing Certificateholder or any advice from the Directing Certificateholder or the Risk Retention Consultation Party, would cause such Special Servicer or such Master Servicer, as applicable, to violate the terms of any Mortgage Loan, applicable law or this Agreement, including without limitation, the Servicing Standard, such Special Servicer or such Master Servicer, as applicable, shall disregard such refusal to consent or advise and notify the Directing Certificateholder or the Risk Retention Consultation Party, respectively, and 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 such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer in accordance with the direction of or approval of the Directing Certificateholder or the approval of the Risk Retention Consultation Party 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 such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer.

 

With respect to any matter for which the consent of the Directing Certificateholder is required, to the extent no specific time period for deemed consent is expressly stated, in the event no response from the Directing Certificateholder is received within ten (10) Business Days following written request for consent and its receipt of all reasonably requested information on any required consent, the Directing Certificateholder shall be deemed to have consented to or approved the specific matter; provided that the failure of the Directing Certificateholder to respond will not affect any future matters with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan.

 

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, however, 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. By its acceptance of a Certificate, each Certificateholder acknowledges and agrees that the Directing Certificateholder may take actions that favor the interests of one or more Classes of the Certificates including the Holders of the Controlling Class over other Classes of the Certificates, and that the Directing Certificateholder may have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of Holders of some Classes of the Certificates, that the Directing Certificateholder may act solely in the interests of the Holders of the Controlling Class, including the Holders of the Controlling Class, that the Directing Certificateholder does not have any duties or liability to the Holders of any Class of Certificates other than the Controlling Class, that the Directing Certificateholder shall not be liable to any Certificateholder, by reason of its having acted solely in the interests of the Holders of the Controlling Class, and that the Directing Certificateholder shall have no liability whatsoever for having so acted, and no Certificateholder may take any action whatsoever against

 

    -398- 

     

    
the Directing Certificateholder or any director, officer, employee, agent or principal thereof for having so acted.

 

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 a Holder of an RR 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 RR Interest or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations or duties owed to the Holders of the RR Interest. By its acceptance of a Certificate, each Certificateholder acknowledges and agrees that the Risk Retention Consultation Party may take actions that favor the interests of one or more Classes of the Certificates including the Holders of an RR Interest over other Classes of the Certificates, and that the Risk Retention Consultation Party may have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of Holders of some Classes of the Certificates, that the Risk Retention Consultation Party may act solely in the interests of the Holders of an RR Interest, that the Risk Retention Consultation Party does not have any duties or liability to the Holders of any Class of Certificates other than the RR Interest, that the Risk Retention Consultation Party shall not be liable to any Certificateholder, by reason of its having acted solely in the interests of the Holder of the RR Interest, and that the Risk Retention Consultation Party shall have no liability whatsoever for having so acted, and no Certificateholder may take any action whatsoever against the Risk Retention Consultation Party or any director, officer, employee, agent or principal thereof for having so acted.

 

Any Non-Serviced Whole Loan 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 Whole Loan Controlling Holder, with respect to the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan, may take actions that favor the interests of one or more classes of the certificates issued under the related Non-Serviced PSA including the holders of the controlling class under such Non-Serviced PSA over other classes of the certificates issued under the Non-Serviced PSA and/or any Class of Certificates, and that such Non-Serviced Whole Loan 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 Whole Loan Controlling Holder, with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan, may act solely in the interests of the Holders of the controlling class under the related Non-Serviced PSA, that such Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder, shall not be liable to any Certificateholder, by reason of its having acted solely in the interests of the Holders of the controlling class under the related Non-Serviced PSA, and that the Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder, with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan, shall have no liability whatsoever for having so acted, and no Certificateholder may take any action whatsoever against such Non-Serviced Whole Loan 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 (and at any time with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to a Directing Certificateholder), the Directing

 

    -399- 

     

    
Certificateholder shall have no right to consent to or direct any action taken or not taken by any party to this Agreement; (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder (other than a Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder) and the Risk Retention Consultation Party shall remain entitled to receive any notices, reports or information to which it is entitled pursuant to this Agreement, and the applicable Special Servicer and any other applicable party shall consult (on a non-binding basis) with the Directing Certificateholder and, with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan, the Risk Retention Consultation Party (in each case, other than with respect to any Excluded Loan as to such party) to the extent set forth herein in connection with any action to be taken or refrained from being taken to the extent set forth herein; and (iii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event (and at any time with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the holder of the majority of the Controlling Class), the Directing Certificateholder (other than a Loan-Specific 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 and, other than with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Risk Retention Consultation Party or the holder of a majority of the RR Interest, the Risk Retention Consultation Party shall remain entitled to receive any notices, reports or information to which it is entitled pursuant to this Agreement, and the applicable Special Servicer and any other applicable party shall consult with the Risk Retention Consultation Party to the extent set forth herein in connection with any action to be taken or refrained from being taken to the extent set forth herein.

(b)       If any Servicer Termination Event with respect to a Master Servicer or a 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 may, and at the written direction of ((i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class) the Directing Certificateholder (solely with respect to the Special Servicer) or the Holders of Certificates entitled to 25% or more of the Voting Rights, the Trustee shall, terminate (and the Depositor may direct the Trustee to terminate each of such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as the case may be, upon five (5) Business Days’ written notice if there is a Servicer Termination Event under clause (A) in the parenthetical in Section 7.01(a)(iii) 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, however, 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 such Master Servicer or such 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. Such Master Servicer and such 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 such Master Servicer’s or such 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 such 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 such Master Servicer to its Collection Account or any Servicing Account (if it is the Affected Party), by such Special Servicer to the REO Account (if it is the Affected Party) or thereafter be received with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loans or any REO Property (provided, however, that such Master Servicer and such Special Servicer each shall, if terminated pursuant to this Section 7.01(b) or pursuant to Section 7.01(d) (with respect to such Special Servicer), continue

 

    -403- 

     

    
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 such Special Servicer or such 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).

 

(c)        If a 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), such 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 such Master Servicer can sell its rights to service the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement. During such forty-five (45) day period such Master Servicer may continue to serve as a Master Servicer hereunder. In the event that such Master Servicer is unable, within such forty-five (45) day period, to cause a qualified successor master servicer to assume the duties of such Master Servicer hereunder, then and in such event, the Trustee shall assume the obligations of such Master Servicer hereunder.

 

Notwithstanding Section 7.01(b), if any Servicer Termination Event on the part of the General Special Servicer shall occur and be continuing that affects the Holder of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, then, so long as the General 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 General Special Servicer with respect to the related Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan. The General Special Servicer appointed to replace the General Special Servicer with respect to a Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage 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 General 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 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)       Subject to the rights of the holder of any Subordinate Companion Holder pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement at any time prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and other than with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder, the Directing Certificateholder shall be entitled to terminate the rights (subject to Section 3.11 and Section 6.04) and obligations of such Special Servicer under this Agreement, with or without cause, upon ten (10) Business Days’ notice to such Special Servicer, the Master Servicers, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Operating Advisor; such termination to be effective upon the appointment of a successor special servicer meeting the requirements of this Section 7.01(d); provided that, with respect to a

Servicing Shift Whole Loan, the ten (10) Business Days’ notice set forth in this Section 7.01(d) shall not apply to the related Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder’s right to terminate the applicable Special Servicer’s rights and obligations under this Agreement without cause with respect to such Servicing Shift Whole Loan pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement. Upon a termination of such Special Servicer, the Directing Certificateholder (other than with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder) shall appoint a successor special servicer to assume the duties of such Special Servicer hereunder; provided, however, that (i) such successor will meet the requirements set forth in Section 7.02, (ii) each Rating Agency delivers Rating Agency Confirmation and, in the case of any class of any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the applicable rating agencies deliver a confirmation that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25) and (iii) no replacement of such Special Servicer shall be effective until the Certificate Administrator shall have filed any required Form 8-K pursuant to Section 11.07 and any other Form 8-K filings have been completed with respect to any related Companion Loan.

 

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 (taking into account the application of any Allocated Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances pursuant to Section 4.05) of the Principal Balance Certificates (other than the RR Interest) requesting a vote to replace the applicable Special Servicer with a new special servicer designated in such written direction to assume the duties of such 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 the Certificate Administrator and Trustee of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency (which Rating Agency Confirmation shall be obtained at the expense of such Holders) and confirmation from the applicable rating agencies that such appointment (or replacement) will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of then-current ratings of any class of any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Securities, 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, conduct the solicitation of votes of all Certificates (other than the RR Interest) in such regard, which requisite affirmative votes must be received within one hundred-eighty (180) days of the posting of such notice, and if not so received, such votes shall be null and void ab initio. Upon the written direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing at least 66-2/3% of a Certificateholder Quorum of Certificates, the Trustee shall terminate all of the rights and obligations of the applicable 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 a Special Servicer

 

    -405- 

     

    
shall not apply to any Serviced AB Whole Loan that is not subject to an AB Control Appraisal Period or to any Servicing Shift Whole Loan.

 

A Serviced AB Whole Loan Controlling Holder shall have the right, prior to the occurrence and continuance of an AB Control Appraisal Period, to replace the applicable 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 a Special Servicer) all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of such Special Servicer under this Agreement from and after the date it becomes a 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) 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 the applicable Non-Serviced 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 the occurrence and continuance of a consultation termination event under the related Non-Serviced PSA, by the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder; provided, however, that any successor special servicer appointed to replace such 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.

 

Following the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, subject to the immediately succeeding paragraph, if the Operating Advisor determines in its sole discretion exercised in good faith that the applicable Special Servicer is not performing its duties as required hereunder or is otherwise not acting in accordance with the Servicing Standard, the Operating Advisor shall deliver to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, with a copy to such Special Servicer, a written report 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

 

    -406- 

     

    
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 affirmative vote of Holders of Principal Balance Certificates
evidencing at least a majority of the aggregate Voting Rights (taking into account the application of any Appraisal Reduction
Amounts to notionally reduce the respective Certificate Balances of such Certificates) of all Principal Balance Certificates
on an aggregate basis within 180 days of posting of the Operating Advisor’s recommendation to the Certificate
Administrator’s Website, and if not so received, such votes shall be null and void ab
initio, and (ii) receipt by the Certificate Administrator following
satisfaction of the foregoing clause (i) of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and confirmation from
the applicable rating agencies that such appointment (or replacement) will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or
qualification of then-current ratings of any class of any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Securities, the Trustee
shall (i) terminate all of the rights and obligations of such Special Servicer under this Agreement and appoint a successor
special servicer approved by the Certificateholders 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 obtaining such Rating Agency Confirmations 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 such Special Servicer. Prior to the appointment of any replacement special servicer, such replacement
special servicer shall have agreed to succeed to the obligations of such Special Servicer under this Agreement and to act as
such Special Servicer’s successor hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Operating Advisor shall not be
permitted to recommend the replacement of a Special Servicer with respect to an AB Whole Loan so long as the related Serviced
Companion Noteholder is not subject to an AB Control Appraisal Period under the related Intercreditor Agreement or with
respect to 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 a Special Servicer), or the result of the vote of the Certificateholders (regarding removal of a Special Servicer).

 

(e)         Each Master Servicer and each 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

 

    -407- 

     

    
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 with respect to such Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable. In no event shall the remedy for a breach of the foregoing covenant extend beyond termination pursuant to Section 7.01(a)(viii) 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).

 

(f)        Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) if any Servicer Termination Event on the part of a Master Servicer affects a Serviced Companion Loan, the related holder of a Serviced Companion Loan or the rating on any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, and if such Master Servicer is not otherwise terminated, or (2) if a Servicer Termination Event on the part of a Master Servicer affects only a Serviced Companion Loan, the related holder of a Serviced Companion Loan or the rating on any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, then such 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 Serviced Companion Loan Securities, but upon the written direction of the related holder of such Serviced Companion Loan, such 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 related 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 with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Directing Certificateholder shall select 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 at any time the applicable Excluded Special Servicer Loan is also an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class or if the Directing Certificateholder is entitled to appoint the Excluded Special Servicer but does not so appoint within 30 days of notice of resignation, the resigning Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to 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. 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 each NRSRO hired to provide ratings with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities makes the equivalent confirmation, (ii) the related Excluded Special Servicer is a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer and (iii) the related 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 under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K pursuant to the Exchange Act regarding itself in its role as Excluded Special Servicer.

 

If at any time the applicable Special Servicer that had previously acted as a 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

 

    -408- 

     

    
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) such original Special Servicer shall become the Special Servicer again for such related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan and (4) such original 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.

 

The applicable Excluded Special Servicer shall perform all of the obligations of the applicable 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 (provided that the applicable Special Servicer shall 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).

 

If a Servicing Officer of the applicable Master Servicer, a related Excluded Special Servicer, or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, 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 applicable Master Servicer, the related Excluded Special Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, 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 a Master Servicer or a 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 that Master Servicer or that 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 such Master Servicer or such 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, responsibilities, duties, liabilities and limitations on liability relating thereto and that arise thereafter placed on or for the benefit of such Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, by the terms and provisions hereof; provided, however, 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 such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall not be liable for any of the representations and warranties of such Master Servicer or such 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

 

    -409- 

     

    
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 that Master Servicer would have been entitled to if such 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 such Special Servicer shall be entitled to the Special Servicing Fees to which such Special Servicer would have been entitled if such Special Servicer had continued to act hereunder. Should the Trustee succeed to the capacity of such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as the case may be, the Trustee shall be afforded the same standard of care and liability as such Master Servicer or such 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 that Master Servicer or that 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 such Special Servicer) ((i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class) or the Holders of Certificates entitled to more than 50% of the Voting Rights 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 that Master Servicer or that Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer hereunder. No appointment of a successor to such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer hereunder shall be effective until (i) the assumption in writing by the successor to such Master Servicer or such 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 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), (iii) such appointment (solely with respect to such 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 such Master Servicer or such 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 such Master Servicer or such 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, however, that no such compensation with respect to a successor master servicer or successor special servicer, as

 

    -410- 

     

    
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 non-terminated Master Servicer or the non-terminated Special Servicer 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 a Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in accordance with this Agreement at the direction of any party or parties permitted to direct the Trustee to so terminate such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, the Trustee shall not have any liability for such expenses pursuant to this paragraph.

 

Section 7.03    Notification to Certificateholders. (a) Upon any resignation of a Master Servicer or a Special Servicer pursuant to Section 6.05, any termination of a Master Servicer or a Special Servicer pursuant to Section 7.01 or any appointment of a successor to a Master Servicer or a 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 representing 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, however, that a Servicer Termination Event under clause (i), (ii) or (viii) 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, subject to the rights of any affected holder of a Serviced Companion Loan under Section 7.01(c) or Section 7.01(f), such Servicer

 

    -411- 

     

    
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 all costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with enforcement action taken with respect to such Servicer Termination Event prior to such waiver from the Trust. 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 a 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 a Master Servicer with respect to Servicing Advances resulting in a Servicer Termination Event under Section 7.01(a)(iii) 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 such Master Servicer’s rights with respect to Advances hereunder, including, without limitation, such 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, however, that if Advances made by the Trustee and a 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 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 such Master Servicer for such Advances. The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any notice given with respect to a Nonrecoverable Advance hereunder.

If a Servicer Termination Event occurs and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances

(c)        No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct or bad faith; provided, however, that:

 

(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, as applicable, 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 greater than 25% (i) of the Percentage Interest 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,

 

    -413- 

     

    
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.

 

Section 8.02   
Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator.  Except as otherwise provided in Section
8.01:

 

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

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, however, 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;

A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to each Master Servicer, each Special Servicer, the Certificateholders and the Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, 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 resignation, the resigning Trustee or Certificate Administrator may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee or certificate administrator, as applicable, and such petition will be an expense of the Trust.

 

(b)        If at any time the Trustee or Certificate Administrator shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.06 (and in the case of the Certificate Administrator, Section 5.08) and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Depositor or a Master Servicer, or if at any time the Trustee or Certificate Administrator shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or Certificate Administrator or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, or if the Trustee or Certificate Administrator (if different than the Trustee) shall fail to timely publish any report to be delivered, published or otherwise made available by the Certificate Administrator pursuant to Section 4.02 and such failure shall continue unremedied for a period of five (5) days, or if the

Certificate Administrator fails to make distributions required pursuant to Section 4.01 or Section 9.01, then the Depositor may remove the Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, and appoint a successor trustee or certificate administrator acceptable to the requesting Master Servicer, by written instrument, in duplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee or Certificate Administrator so removed and to the successor trustee or certificate administrator in the case of the removal of the Trustee or Certificate Administrator. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to each Master Servicer, each 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.

 

(c)      The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 75% of the Voting Rights may, upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice, with or without cause, remove the Trustee or Certificate Administrator and appoint a successor trustee or certificate administrator by written instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by such Holders or their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which instruments shall be delivered to each Master Servicer, one complete set to the Trustee or Certificate Administrator so removed and one complete set to the successor so appointed. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the Depositor, each Special Servicer and the remaining Certificateholders by the Master Servicers.

Further, the resigning Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, shall pay all costs and expenses associated with the transfer of its duties.

 

If the same party is acting as Trustee and Certificate Administrator pursuant to this Agreement, any removal of either such party in its capacity as Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, shall also result in such party’s removal in its capacity as Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, and the Depositor shall appoint a successor certificate administrator and a successor trustee, in each instance meeting the eligibility requirements set forth hereunder.

 

Upon any succession of the Trustee or Certificate Administrator under this Agreement, the predecessor Trustee or Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to the payment of accrued and unpaid compensation and reimbursement as provided for under this Agreement for services rendered and expenses incurred (including without limitation, unreimbursed Advances). No Trustee or Certificate Administrator shall be personally liable for any action or omission of any successor trustee or certificate administrator.

    -421- 

     

    
Custodian, at Custodian’s option shall become the agent of the successor trustee), and the Depositor, the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer and the predecessor Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required to more fully and certainly vest and confirm in the successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations, and to enable the successor trustee to perform its obligations hereunder.

 

(b)        No successor trustee or successor certificate administrator shall, as applicable, accept appointment as provided in this Section 8.08 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee or successor certificate administrator, as applicable, shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Fund or property securing the same may at the time be located, the Master Servicers and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity, such title to the Trust, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Master Servicers and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Master Servicers shall not have joined in such appointment within fifteen (15) days after the receipt by it of a request to do

 

    -422- 

     

    
so, or in case a Servicer Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment.

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

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

 

(e)        The appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee under this Section 8.10 shall not relieve the Trustee of its duties and responsibilities hereunder.

The Custodian shall be subject to the same obligations and standard of care as would be imposed on the Certificate Administrator hereunder in connection with the retention of Mortgage Files directly by the Certificate Administrator. Upon termination or resignation of the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator may appoint another Custodian meeting the foregoing requirements. The appointment of one or more

 

    -423- 

     

    
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.

(ii)        The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Trustee, and the performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement by the Trustee, will not violate the Trustee’s charter and by-laws or constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default) under, or result in the breach of, any material agreement or other instrument to which it is a party or which is applicable to it or any of its assets;

 

(iii)       The Trustee has the full power and authority to enter into and consummate all transactions contemplated by this Agreement, has duly authorized the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, and has duly executed and delivered this Agreement;

(v)         The Trustee is not in violation of, and its execution and delivery of this Agreement and its performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement will not constitute a violation of, any law, any order or decree of any court or arbiter, or any order, regulation or demand of any federal, state or local governmental or regulatory authority, which violation, in the Trustee’s good faith and reasonable judgment, is likely to affect materially and adversely the ability of the Trustee to perform its obligations under this Agreement;

 

(vi)       No litigation is pending or, to the best of the Trustee’s knowledge, threatened against the Trustee which would prohibit the Trustee from entering into this Agreement or, in the Trustee’s good faith and reasonable judgment, is likely to materially

 

    -424- 

     

    
and adversely affect the ability of the Trustee to perform its obligations under this Agreement; and

 

(vii)      No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Trustee, or compliance by the Trustee with, this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except for any consent, approval, authorization or order which has not been obtained or cannot be obtained prior to the actual performance by the Trustee of its obligations under this Agreement, and which, if not obtained would not have a materially adverse effect on the ability of the Trustee to perform its obligations hereunder

created hereby 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’s, living on the date hereof. Upon termination of the Trust pursuant to clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Custodian shall release or cause to be released to the Master Servicer, at the address provided in Section 13.05 of this Agreement or to such other address designated by the Master Servicer in writing, any Mortgage File remaining in its possession.

 

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-SB, Class A-4, Class A-5, 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 then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class V and Class R Certificates and the RR Interest)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, with the consent of the Master Servicers, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class V and Class R Certificates and the RR Interest) together with the payment or deemed payment of the Termination Purchase Amount for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by clause (iii) of the first paragraph of this Section 9.01 by giving written notice to all the parties hereto no later than sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated date of exchange.

In addition, each 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 on the Certificates is to occur from the Collection Accounts pursuant to the first paragraph of Section 3.04(b) (provided, however, 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 and the RR Interest) on the applicable Distribution Date, (i) the Certificate Administrator shall remit to the Holders of the RR Interest in immediately available funds an amount equal to the product of the Required Credit Risk Retention Percentage and the Termination Purchase Amount and (ii) the Custodian shall, upon receipt of a Request for Release from the Master Servicers, release or cause to be released to the Sole Certificateholder or any designee thereof, the Mortgage Files for

 

    -428- 

     

    
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 Servicers, the Special Servicers, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Companion Paying Agent shall terminate with respect to any 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 Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer servicing the greater principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of that time, the other Special Servicer, the Master Servicer servicing the greater principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of that time, the other 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, however, that the Holders of the Controlling Class, either Special Servicer, either 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 Preliminary Statement (solely for the purposes of this calculation, if such right is being exercised after the Distribution Date in February 2030 and any of the Mortgage Loans identified as Mortgage Loan Numbers 11 and 37 on the Mortgage Loan Schedule is still an asset of the Trust, then such Mortgage Loan will be excluded from the then-aggregate stated principal balance of the pool of Mortgage Loans and from the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of the Mortgage Loans) (in order to make such determination, the General Master Servicer may, at any time, request that the NCB Master Servicer commence to periodically inform the General Master Servicer of the Stated Principal Balance of the NCB Mortgage Loans and, commencing upon such request of the General Master Servicer, the NCB Master Servicer shall inform the General Master Servicer (which may be through providing the General Master Servicer access to the NCB Master Servicer’s website) of the Stated Principal Balance of the NCB Mortgage Loans on a monthly basis, or at an accelerated interval as requested by the General Master Servicer of the NCB Master Servicer). This purchase shall terminate the Trust and retire then-outstanding Certificates. In the event that a Master Servicer or a Special Servicer purchases, or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class or the Holders of the Class R Certificates purchase, all of

 

    -429- 

     

    
the Mortgage Loans and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund in accordance with the preceding sentence, the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer, the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class or the Holders of the Class R Certificates, as the case may be, 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 Certificateholders pursuant to Section 3.05(a), which portion shall be deposited in the Collection Account of the General Master Servicer). In addition, each 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 its Collection Account pursuant to the first paragraph of Section 3.04(b), together with any other amounts on deposit in its 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 applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer, the Holder 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 applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer, the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class or the Holders of the Class R Certificates, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to effectuate transfer of the Mortgage Loans as assets of the Trust and REO Properties remaining in the Trust Fund. If the Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the General Special Servicer, the NCB Special Servicer (if not then NCB), the General Master Servicer or the NCB Master Servicer (if not then NCB) makes such an election, then NCB (so long as NCB is either the NCB Special Servicer or the NCB Master Servicer) will have the option, by giving written notice to the other parties hereto no later than 30 days prior to the anticipated date of purchase, to purchase all of the NCB Mortgage Loans and each related REO Property remaining in the Trust, and the other party will then have the option to purchase only the remaining Mortgage Loans and each related REO Property.

 

For purposes of this Section 9.01, the Holder 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 servicing the greater principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of that time, then the other Special Servicer, then the Master Servicer servicing the greater principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of that time, then the other 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

 

    -430- 

     

    
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 the Holders of the Excess Interest Certificates or the RR Interest 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 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(b), 4.01(c), 4.01(e) and Section 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 applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer, the Holders of the Controlling Class or the Holders of the Class R Certificates, as applicable, for cash; and

 

    -431- 

     

    
(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 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 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 Servicers, the Master Servicers 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. The Certificate Administrator shall prepare or cause to be prepared and timely produced to the Trustee to sign (and the Trustee shall timely sign) and file or cause to be filed with the Internal Revenue Service, on behalf of each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC, an application for a taxpayer identification number for such Trust REMIC on IRS Form SS-4 or obtain such number by other permissible means. The Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for the preparation of the related IRS Form W-9, if such form is requested. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the information contained therein, and is hereby directed to execute such IRS Form W-9; provided, however, the Certificate Administrator shall also be directed to execute such IRS Form W-9 (in lieu of the Trustee) if permitted by IRS regulations.

 

(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

 

    -432- 

     

    
entitled to reimbursement therefor out of amounts attributable to the Mortgage Loans and any REO Properties on deposit in the Collection Accounts as provided by Section 3.05 unless such legal expenses and costs are incurred by reason of the Certificate Administrator’s willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence. The Certificate Administrator is hereby designated as the “partnership representative” (within the meaning of Section 6223 of the Code) of each Trust REMIC and shall perform all the functions thereof. By their acceptance thereof, the Holders of the Class R Certificates hereby agree to such designation.

 

(d)       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. The Certificate Administrator shall prepare or cause to be prepared, and file or cause to be filed with the IRS, on behalf of each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC, an application for a taxpayer identification number for such REMIC on IRS Form SS-4 or obtain such number by other permissible means.

 

(e)         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 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) to the Internal Revenue Service on Form 8811, within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, the name, title, address and telephone number of the “partnership representative” who will serve as the representative of each of the Trust REMICs created hereunder.

 

(f)        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 Servicers nor the Special Servicers 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

 

    -433- 

     

    
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, cause the loss of 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.

 

(g)       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(g); 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 applicable 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 Administrator in writing), and shall remit to the applicable Master Servicer such reserved amounts as the applicable Master Servicer shall request in order to pay such taxes. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, the applicable Master Servicer shall withdraw from the applicable 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 or Retained Certificate Realized Losses, as applicable, 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

 

    -434-

Article XI

 

EXCHANGE ACT REPORTING AND REGULATION AB COMPLIANCE

 

Section 11.01  Intent of the Parties; Reasonableness. 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

 

    -437- 

     

    
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 BANK 2020-BNK25, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2020-BNK25, and any Other Securitization subject to Regulation AB that includes a Serviced Companion Loan, each of the Master Servicers, the Special Servicers, 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 Servicers, the Special Servicers, 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. Each party to this Agreement shall have a reasonable period of time to comply with any written request made under this Section 11.01, but in any event, shall, upon reasonable advance written request, provide information in sufficient time to allow the Depositor and each Other Depositor to satisfy any related filing requirements. For purposes of this Article XI, to the extent any party has an obligation to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to cause a third party to perform, such party hereunder shall not be required to bring any legal action against such third party in connection with such obligation.

 

Section 11.02  Succession; Subcontractors. (a) As a condition to the succession to either Master Servicer and either Special Servicer or to any Sub-Servicer (but only if such Sub-Servicer is a servicer as contemplated by Item 1108(a)(2)) as servicer or sub-servicer or succession to the Certificate Administrator under this Agreement by any Person (i) into which the applicable Master Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer, such Sub-Servicer or Certificate Administrator may be merged or consolidated, or (ii) which may be appointed as a successor to the applicable Master Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer or to any such Sub-Servicer or Certificate Administrator, the person removing and replacing a Master Servicer and a Special Servicer or Certificate Administrator shall provide to the Depositor, the Master Servicers, the Special Servicers, the Certificate Administrator and each Other Depositor (and Other Certificate Administrator, as applicable), at least fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the effective date of such succession or appointment (or such shorter period as is agreed to by the Depositor), (x) written notice to the Depositor, the Other Depositor and the Other Certificate Administrator of such succession or appointment and (y) in writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor and the Other Depositor, all information relating to such successor reasonably requested by the Depositor, Other Depositor or Other Certificate Administrator in order to comply with its reporting obligation 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); provided, however that if disclosing such information prior to such effective date would violate any applicable law or confidentiality agreement, the Master

 

    -438- 

     

    
 

 

Servicers, the Special Servicers, any Additional Servicer or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, shall submit such disclosure to the Depositor and the Other Depositor no later than the effective date of such succession or appointment.

 

(b)       Each of the Master Servicers, the Special Servicers, the Sub-Servicer, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor and the Certificate Administrator (each of the Master Servicers, the Special Servicers, 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 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. As a condition to the utilization by such Servicer of any Subcontractor determined to be a Servicing Function Participant, such Servicer shall (i) with respect to any such Subcontractor engaged by such Servicer that is an Initial Sub-Servicer, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause, and (ii) with respect to any other subcontractor with which it has entered into a servicing relationship, cause such Subcontractor used by such Servicer for the benefit of the Depositor and the Trustee (and any Other Trustee, Other Certificate Administrator and Other Depositor related to any Other Securitization that includes a related Serviced Companion Loan) to comply with the provisions of Section 11.10 and Section 11.11 of this Agreement to the same extent as if such Subcontractor were such Servicer. With respect to any Servicing Function Participant engaged by such Servicer that is an Initial Sub-Servicer, such Servicer shall be responsible for using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, and with respect to each other Servicing Function Participant engaged by such Servicer, such Servicer shall obtain from each such Servicing Function Participant and deliver to the applicable Persons any assessment of compliance report and related accountant’s attestation required to be delivered by such Subcontractor under Section 11.10 and Section 11.11, in each case, as and when required to be delivered. For the avoidance of doubt, the Custodian shall not be permitted to utilize any Subcontractor to perform any of its obligations hereunder.

 

(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

 

    -439- 

     

    
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 applicable 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 notice and/or information furnished or required to be furnished pursuant to this Section 11.02 shall also be provided 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.

 

Section 11.03  Filing Obligations. (a) The Master Servicers, the Special Servicers, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Trustee shall reasonably cooperate with the Depositor in connection with the satisfaction of the Trust’s reporting requirements under the Exchange Act. Pursuant to Sections 11.04, 11.05, 11.06 and 11.07 of this Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall prepare for execution by the Depositor any Forms 10-D, ABS-EE, 10-K and 8-K required by the Exchange Act, in order to permit the timely filing thereof, and the Certificate Administrator shall file (via the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval System (“EDGAR”)) such Forms executed by the Depositor.

 

Each party hereto shall be entitled to rely on the information in the Prospectus or this Agreement with respect to the identity of any “sponsor”, credit enhancer, derivative provider or “significant obligor” as of the Closing Date other than with respect to itself or any information required to be provided by it or indemnified for by it pursuant to any separate agreement.

(b)       
In the event that the Certificate Administrator is unable to timely file with the Commission all or any required portion of
any Form 10-D, ABS-EE, 10-K or 8-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
Servicers, 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. In the event that any previously filed Form 10-D, Form ABS-EE, Form 10-K or Form 8-K needs to be
amended, the Certificate Administrator will notify the Depositor, and such other parties as needed and the parties hereto
will cooperate with the Certificate Administrator to prepare any necessary Form 10-D/A, Form ABS-EE/A, Form 10-K/A or Form
8-K/A. Any Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendment to Form 10-D, Form ABS-EE, Form 10-K or Form 8-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 10-D, Form ABS-EE, Form 10-K or Form 8-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 10-D, Form ABS-EE, Form 10-K or Form 8-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 10-D, Form
ABS-EE, Form 10-K or Form 8-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

(b)        Each of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicers and the Special Servicers shall, and each of the applicable Master Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any Servicing Function Participant appointed thereby with respect to a Serviced Securitized Companion Loan to (provided that (a) such party has received notice of the occurrence of the related Regulation AB Companion Loan Securitization, or (b) such party is also a party to the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, or (c) the applicable Regulation AB Companion Loan Securitization closed prior to the Closing Date, as reflected on Exhibit S), cooperate with the depositor, trustee, certificate administrator, master servicer and special servicer for any Regulation AB Companion Loan Securitization in preparing each Form 10-D, Form ABS-EE, Form 8-K and Form 10-K required to be filed by such Regulation AB Companion Loan Securitization (until January 30 of the first year in which the trustee or other applicable party for such Regulation AB Companion Loan Securitization files a Form 15 Suspension Notification with respect to the related trust) and shall provide to such depositor, trustee, certificate administrator and master servicer within the time period set forth in the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement (so long as such time period is no earlier than the time periods set forth herein) for such Regulation AB Companion Loan Securitization such information relating to a Serviced Securitized Companion Loan as may be reasonably necessary for the depositor, trustee, certificate administrator and master servicer of the Regulation AB Companion Loan Securitization to timely comply with the reporting requirements of Regulation AB and the Exchange Act; provided, however, that any parties to any Regulation AB Companion Loan Securitization shall consult with the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the applicable Master Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer (and the applicable Master Servicer shall consult with any sub-servicer appointed by it with respect to the related Serviced Whole Loan), and the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, such Master Servicer and such Special Servicer shall cooperate with such parties in respect of establishing the time periods for preparation of the Form 10-D and Form ABS-EE reports in the documentation for such Regulation AB Companion Loan Securitization. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, complies in all material respects with the timing, reporting and attestation requirements imposed on such party in Article XI of this Agreement (other than

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, complies in all

 

    -463- 

     

    
material respects with the timing, reporting and attestation requirements imposed on such party in Article XI of this Agreement (other than this Section 11.15) with respect to the comparable timing, reporting and attestation requirements contemplated in this Section 11.15(d) with respect to such Regulation AB Companion Loan Securitization, such party shall be deemed to be in compliance with the provisions of this Section 11.15(d).

 

(e)        On or before March 1st of each year during which a Regulation AB Companion Loan Securitization is required to file an annual report on Form 10-K (and not in respect of any year in which such Regulation AB Companion Loan Securitization is not required to file an annual report on Form 10-K because a Form 15 Suspension Notification with respect to the related trust was filed), each of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the applicable Master Servicers and the applicable Special Servicers shall, and the applicable Master Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any Servicing Function Participant appointed with respect to a Serviced Securitized Companion Loan to, to the extent required pursuant to Item 1123 of Regulation AB, deliver, with respect to itself, to the depositor, trustee or certificate administrator under such Regulation AB Companion Loan Securitization (provided that (a) such party has received notice of the occurrence of the related Regulation AB Companion Loan Securitization, or (b) such party is also a party to the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, or (c) the applicable Regulation AB Companion Loan Securitization closed prior to the Closing Date, as reflected on Exhibit S), under such Regulation AB Companion Loan Securitization a servicer compliance statement signed by an authorized officer of such Person that satisfies the requirements of Item 1123 of Regulation AB. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, complies in all material respects with the timing, reporting and attestation requirements imposed on such party in Article XI of this Agreement (other than this Section 11.15) with respect to the comparable timing, reporting and attestation requirements contemplated in this Section 11.15(e) with respect to such Regulation AB Companion Loan Securitization, such party shall be deemed to be in compliance with the provisions of this Section 11.15(e). 

 

(f)        Each of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the applicable Master Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause a Servicing Function Participant to agree (severally but not jointly) to indemnify (such indemnity limited to each such parties respective failure described below) and hold the related Mortgage Loan Seller (or permitted transferee), depositor, sponsor(s), trustee, certificate administrator or master servicer under a Regulation AB Companion Loan Securitization harmless for any costs, liabilities, fees and expenses incurred by such Mortgage Loan Seller, depositor, sponsor(s), trustee, certificate administrator or master servicer as a result of any failure by the Servicing Function Participant to comply with the reporting requirements to the extent applicable set forth under Sections 11.15(b), (c), (d) or (e) above.

 

Any subservicing agreement related to a Serviced Securitized Companion Loan shall contain a provision requiring the related Sub-Servicer to provide to the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as applicable, information, reports, statements and certificates with respect to itself and such Serviced Securitized Companion Loan comparable to any information, reports, statements or certificates required to be provided by the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer pursuant to this Section 11.15, even if such

 

    -464- 

     

    
Sub-Servicer is not otherwise required to provide such information, reports or certificates to any Person in order to comply with Regulation AB. Such information, reports or certificates shall be provided to the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, no later than two Business Days prior to the date on which the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, is required to deliver its comparable information, reports, statements or certificates pursuant to this Section 11.15.

 

(g)        With respect to any Mortgaged Property that secures a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan that the applicable Other Depositor has notified the applicable Master Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer in writing is a “significant obligor” (within the meaning of Item 1101(k) of Regulation AB) (together with notification of the relevant Distribution Date) with respect to an Other Securitization that includes such Serviced Companion Loan, to the extent that the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer is in receipt of the updated financial statements of such “significant obligor” for any calendar quarter (other than the fourth calendar quarter of any calendar year) from the Mortgagor, beginning with the first calendar quarter in which such notice from the Other Depositor was received, or the updated financial statements of such “significant obligor” for any calendar year, beginning for the calendar year in which such notice from the Other Depositor was received, as applicable, the applicable Master Servicer the applicable Special Servicer shall deliver to the Other Depositor, on or prior to the day that occurs two (2) Business Days prior to the related Significant Obligor NOI Quarterly Filing Deadline or seven (7) Business Days prior to the related Significant Obligor NOI Yearly Filing Deadline, as applicable, (A) if such financial statement receipt occurs twelve (12) or more Business Days prior to the related Significant Obligor NOI Quarterly Filing Deadline or seventeen (17) or more Business Days prior to the related Significant Obligor NOI Yearly Filing Deadline, as applicable, the financial statements of such “significant obligor”, together with the net operating income of such “significant obligor” for the applicable period as calculated by the applicable Master Servicer (or by the applicable Special Servicer and provided to the applicable Master Servicer solely in the case of any related Specially Serviced Loan or the applicable Special Servicer with respect to any Serviced REO Property and provided by the applicable Special Servicer to the applicable Master Servicer) in accordance with CREFC® guidelines and (B) if such financial statement receipt occurs less than twelve (12) Business Day prior to the related Significant Obligor NOI Quarterly Filing Deadline or less than seventeen (17) Business Days prior to the related Significant Obligor NOI Yearly Filing Deadline, as applicable, such financial statements of the “significant obligor”, together with the net operating income of such “significant obligor” for the applicable period as reported by the related Mortgagor in such financial statements (or as reported by the related Mortgagor to the applicable Special Servicer and provided by the applicable Special Servicer to the applicable Master Servicer solely in the case of any related Specially Serviced Loan or as reported by the applicable Special Servicer with respect to Serviced REO Property and provided by the applicable Special Servicer to the applicable Master Servicer). 

 

If the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer does not receive such financial information satisfactory to comply with Item 6 of Form 10-D or Item 1112(b)(1) of Form 10-K, as the case may be, of such “significant obligor” within ten (10) Business Days after the date such financial information is required to be delivered under the related Mortgage Loan documents, the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer shall notify the Other Depositor with respect to such Other Securitization that includes

 

    -465- 

     

    
the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (and shall cause each applicable Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into after receipt of written notice from the Other Depositor that such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan is a significant obligor to require the related Sub-Servicer to notify such Other Depositor) that it has not received such financial information. The applicable Master Servicer (in the case of Non-Specially Serviced Loans) or the applicable Special Servicer (in the case of Specially Serviced Loans) shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard (taking into account, in addition, the ongoing reporting obligations of such Other Depositor under the Exchange Act) to obtain the periodic financial statements required to be delivered by the related Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan documents.

 

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

 

(h)        If any Other Securitization includes a Serviced Companion Loan and is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, then the obligations of the parties hereto set forth in this Article XI with respect such Other Securitization shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding that the Trust may cease to be subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. 

 

Section
11.16  Certain Matters Regarding Significant Obligors.  As of the Closing Date, with respect to the Trust, there
is no “significant obligor” within the meaning of Item 1101(k) of Regulation AB (“Significant Obligor”).

 

Section
11.17  Impact of Cure Period.  For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Master Servicers nor the Special Servicers
shall be subject to a Servicer Termination Event pursuant to clause (iii) of the definition thereof prior to the expiration of
the grace period applicable to such party’s obligations under this Article XI as provided for in such clause (iii)
nor shall any such party be deemed to not be in compliance under this Agreement, during any grace period provided for in this
Article XI; provided that if any such party fails to comply with the delivery requirements of this Article XI
by the expiration of any applicable grace period such failure shall constitute a Servicer Termination Event. Neither the Master
Servicer nor the Special Servicers shall be subject to a Servicer Termination Event pursuant to clause (iii) of the

 

    -466- 

     

    
definition thereof prior to the expiration of the grace period applicable to such party’s obligations under this Article XI as provided for in such clause (iii) nor shall any such party be deemed to not be in compliance under this Agreement, for failing to deliver any item required under this Article XI by the time required hereunder with respect to any reporting period for which the Trust (or any trust in a related Other Securitization) is not required to file Exchange Act reports.

Article XII

 

THE
ASSET REPRESENTATIONS REVIEWER

 

Section 12.01  Asset Review.

 

(a)        On or prior to each Distribution Date, based either on the CREFC® Delinquent Loan Status Report and/or the CREFC® Loan Periodic Update File delivered by the applicable Master Servicer for such Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall determine if an Asset Review Trigger has occurred. If an Asset Review Trigger is determined to have occurred, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide notice to all Certificateholders and each other party to this Agreement. Any notice required to be delivered to the Certificateholders pursuant to this Article XII shall be delivered by the Certificate Administrator by posting such notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, by mailing such notice to the Certificateholders’ addresses appearing in the Certificate Register in the case of Definitive Certificates and by delivering such notice via the Depository in the case of Book-Entry Certificates. The Certificate Administrator shall include in the Form 10-D relating to the reporting period in which the Asset Review Trigger occurred the following statement describing the events that caused the Asset Review Trigger to occur: “As of the [Date of Distribution], the following Mortgage Loans identified below are 60 or more days delinquent and an Asset Review Trigger as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement has occurred.” On each Distribution Date occurring after providing such notice to Certificateholders, the Certificate Administrator, based on information provided to it by the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, 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 applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer. 

 

If Certificateholders (other than Holders of the RR Interest) evidencing 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 (with a copy to 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 evidencing at least (i) a majority of

 

    -467- 

     

    
those Certificateholders who cast votes and (ii) a majority of an Asset Review Quorum within one-hundred fifty (150) days of 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 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 will be paid as an expense of the Trust from the applicable Collection Account. 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), the applicable Master Servicer (with respect to clauses (6) and (7) below for Non-Specially Serviced Loans for which it acts as Master Servicer) and the applicable Special Servicer (with respect to clauses (6) and (7) below for Specially Serviced Loans) shall promptly, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days, provide the following materials in electronic format to the extent in their possession to the Asset Representations Reviewer (collectively, with the Diligence Files posted on the Secure Data Room by the Certificate Administrator pursuant to Section 4.08, 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;

 

    -468- 

     

    
(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)        copies 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 applicable Master Servicer or applicable Special Servicer, as applicable, of any alleged defect or breach with respect to any Delinquent Loan; and

 

(7)        a copy of any other related documents that were entered into or delivered in connection with the origination of the related Mortgage Loan that the Asset Representations Reviewer has determined are necessary in connection with its completion of any Asset Review and that are requested by the Asset Representations Reviewer, in the time frames and as otherwise described in clause (ii) hereof. 

 

(ii)       
In addition, in the event that, as part of an Asset Review of a Mortgage Loan, the Asset Representations Reviewer determines
it is missing any document that is required to be part of the Review Materials for such Mortgage Loan and that is necessary
in connection with its completion of the Asset Review, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall promptly, but in no event
later than ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Review Materials, notify the applicable Master Servicer (with respect
to Non-Specially Serviced Loans) or the applicable Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans), as
applicable, of such missing document(s), and request that the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer,
as the case may be, 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 document(s) to the extent in its
possession; provided that any such notification and/or request shall be in writing, specifically identifying the
documents being requested and sent to the notice address for the related party set forth in Section 13.05 of this
Agreement. In the event any missing documents are not provided by the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special
Servicer, as the case may be, within such ten (10) Business Day period, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall request such
documents from the related Mortgage Loan Seller; provided that the Mortgage Loan Seller shall be required under the
related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to deliver such missing document only to the extent such document is in the
possession of such party 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.

 

    -469- 

     

    
(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 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”). 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”); provided, however, the Asset Representations Reviewer may, but is under no obligation to, modify any Test and/or associated Review Materials described in Exhibit PP 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. 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 fifty-six (56) days after the date on which access to the Secure Data Room is provided, subject to the last sentence of this paragraph. In the event that the Asset Representations Reviewer determines that the Review Materials are insufficient to complete a Test and such missing documentation is not delivered to the Asset Representations Reviewer by the applicable Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans), the applicable Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) to the extent in the possession of the applicable

 

    -470- 

     

    
Master Servicer or applicable Special Servicer, as applicable, or from the related Mortgage Loan Seller within ten (10) Business Days following the request by the Asset Representations Reviewer to the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer or the related Mortgage Loan Seller, as the case may be, 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 applicable Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans) or the applicable Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans), and 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 or explanations to support the related Mortgage Loan Seller’s claim that the representation and warranty has not failed a Test or that any missing information or documents in the Review Materials are not required to complete a Test shall be sent by such Mortgage Loan Seller to the Asset Representations Reviewer. For avoidance of doubt, 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 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 within the ten (10) days after the expiration of the Cure/Contest Period (whichever is later), 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 Special Servicer, the Master Servicer and the Certificate Administrator. 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 a responsibility of the applicable Enforcing Servicer pursuant to Section 12.01(b)(x) of this Agreement.

 

    -471- 

     

    
(ix)       In addition, in the event that the Asset Representations Reviewer does not receive any documentation that it requested from the applicable Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans), the applicable 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 thirty (30) days after receipt of an Asset Review Report with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the Enforcing Servicer shall determine whether at that time, based on the Servicing Standard, there exists a Material Defect with respect to such Mortgage Loan. If the Enforcing Servicer determines that a Material Defect exists, the Enforcing Servicer 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 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 applicable Special Servicer other than pursuant to a Privileged Information Exception. 

 

(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 subcontractor may (i) be affiliated with any Mortgage Loan Seller, either Master Servicer, either 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, a Master Servicer, a 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

 

    -472- 

     

    
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 Depositor shall pay the Asset Representations Reviewer 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 be equal to the product of a rate equal to 0.00025% per annum (the “Asset Representations Reviewer Fee Rate”) and 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 each Mortgage Loan that is a Delinquent Loan and is subject to an Asset Review (for purposes of this paragraph, each a “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 (a) in the case of a Subject Loan that is not an NCB Co-op Mortgage Loan, (i) $15,000 plus $1,000 per additional Mortgaged Property with respect to a Subject 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 Subject 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 Subject Loan with a Cut-off Date Balance greater than or equal to $40,000,000, and (b) in the case of a Subject Loan that is an NCB Co-op Mortgage Loan, $10,000 (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, however, that if the related Mortgage Loan Seller is insolvent or fails to pay such amount within ninety (90) days of written invoice therefor by the Asset Representations Reviewer, such fee shall be paid by the Trust following delivery by the Asset Representations Reviewer of a certification to the applicable Master Servicer that the requirements for payment set forth in this Section 12.02(b) have been met. The Asset Representations Reviewer shall not deliver any such certificate unless it has invoiced payment of such amount and otherwise met the requirements for payment set forth in this Section 12.02(b), including receipt of evidence of such insolvency or failure to pay such amount. A Mortgage Loan Seller shall be deemed to have failed to pay such amount hereunder ninety (90) days after delivery by the Asset Representations Reviewer of an itemized invoice to such Mortgage Loan Seller by registered mail or overnight courier to the address listed in this Agreement for such Mortgage Loan Seller, or to such other address as shall be provided by such Mortgage Loan Seller for delivery of notices in accordance with this Agreement, or ninety (90) days following attempted delivery of such invoice by registered mail or overnight courier and reasonable follow -up by telephone or e-mail. Notwithstanding any payment of such fee by the Trust to the Asset Representations Reviewer, such fee will remain an

 

    -473- 

     

    
obligation of the related Mortgage Loan Seller and the Enforcing Servicer shall pursue remedies against such Mortgage Loan Seller to recover any such amounts to the extent paid by the Trust.

 

(c)        Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee with respect to a Delinquent Loan shall be included in the Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan that was the subject of a completed Asset Review that is repurchased or substituted by a Mortgage Loan Seller, and such portion of the Purchase Price 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, however, 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

 

    -474- 

     

    
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 evidencing greater than 25% of the Voting Rights, provided that any such failure that is not curable within such thirty (30) day period, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall have an additional cure period of thirty (30) days to effect such cure so long as it has commenced to cure such failure within the initial thirty (30) day period and has provided the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator with an officer’s certificate certifying that it has diligently pursued, and is continuing to pursue, such cure;

 

(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.

 

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.

 

    -475- 

     

    
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 or (ii) upon the written direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing at least 25% of the Voting Rights (without regard to the application of any Allocated 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 evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights (without regard to the application of any Allocated 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 evidencing at least 75% of a Certificateholder Quorum (without regard to the application of any Allocated 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 Certificateholders 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 the Certificates evidencing at least 75% of the Voting Rights (without regard to the application of any Allocated 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.

 

(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

 

    -476- 

     

    
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 Servicers, the Special Servicers, 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 Servicers, the Special Servicers, 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 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, as soon as possible, give written notice thereof to the Special Servicers, the Master Servicers, 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, each Rating Agency and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder. 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).

(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. 

 

(k)        This Agreement may not be amended without the consent of any holder of a Companion Loan if such amendment would materially and adversely affect the rights of such Companion Holder hereunder.

    -482- 

     

    
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
13.06  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 Conveyed Property shall
constitute a sale and not a pledge of security for a loan. If such conveyance is deemed to be a pledge of security for a loan,
however, the Depositor intends that the rights and obligations of the parties to such loan shall be established pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement. The Depositor also intends and agrees that, in such event, (i) the Depositor shall be deemed to have
granted to the Trustee (in such capacity) a first priority security interest in the Depositor’s entire right, title and
interest in, to and under, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising, the Conveyed Property and all proceeds
thereof and (ii) this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law. The Depositor shall file or cause
to be filed, as a precautionary filing, a UCC Financing Statement in all appropriate locations in the State of Delaware promptly
following the initial issuance of the Certificates, and the Certificate Administrator shall, at the expense of the Depositor (to
the extent reasonable), prepare and file continuation statements with respect thereto, in each case in the six-month period prior
to every fifth anniversary of the date of the initial UCC Financing Statement. The Depositor shall cooperate in a reasonable manner
with the Certificate Administrator in the preparation and filing of such continuation statements. This Section 13.07 shall
constitute notice to the Certificate Administrator and 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, each Other Exchange Act
Reporting Party (with respect to its rights under Article XI of this Agreement) 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, 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 Companion Holder, 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, Non-Serviced Master Servicer, Non-Serviced Special Servicer, Non-Serviced Depositor, Non-Serviced Paying Agent 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)(iv) 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).

 

Section
13.09  Article and Section Headings.  The article and section headings herein are for convenience of reference
only, and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

 

Section
13.10  Notices to the Rating Agencies.  (a) The Certificate Administrator shall use reasonable efforts promptly
to provide notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to
Section 3.13(c), (and the related 17g-5 information provider for any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities to the

(vi)       any material damage to any Mortgaged Property;

 

(vii)      any assumption with respect to a Mortgage Loan; and

 

(viii)     any release or substitution of any Mortgaged Property.

(d)       The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, either Master Servicer and either Special Servicer, as applicable, shall furnish to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(c), and thereafter to each Rating Agency (and any rating agency for any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities to the extent applicable to any Serviced Whole Loan) with respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) such information as any Rating Agency shall reasonably request and which the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicers or Special Servicers, can reasonably provide in accordance with applicable law and without waiving any attorney-client privilege relating to such information or violating the terms of this Agreement or any Mortgage Loan documents. The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, either Master Servicer and either Special Servicer, as applicable, may include any reasonable disclaimer it deems appropriate with respect to such information. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing in this Section 13.10 shall require a party to provide duplicative notices or copies

 

    -495- 

     

    
to the Rating Agencies with respect to any of the above listed items. In connection with the delivery by either Master Servicer or either Special Servicer to the 17g-5 Information Provider of any information, report, notice or document for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website, the 17g-5 Information Provider shall notify such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer when such information, report, notice or document has been posted. The applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, may, but shall not be obligated to send such information, report, notice or document to the applicable Rating Agency so long as such information, report, notice or document (i) was previously provided to the 17g-5 Information Provider or (ii) is simultaneously provided, by 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day, to the 17g-5 Information Provider.

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.

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.

(ix)       to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that such amendment shall not adversely affect in any material respects the interests of any Certificateholders (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Holder of the RR Interest), as evidenced by (x) an Opinion of Counsel or (y) if any Certificate is then rated, receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency rating such Certificates; and provided, further, that the Certificate Administrator shall give notice of any such amendment to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Certificate Administrator shall post such notice to the Certificate Administrator’s Website;

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment (A) may change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations or rights 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 under the Pooling

 

A-1-12

 

and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller or (B) may materially and adversely affect the holder of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent.

 

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to 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 for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

 

(i)         reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Mortgage Loans or Whole Loans that are required to be distributed on a Certificate of any Class without the consent of the Holder of the Certificate or which are required to be distributed to a Companion Holder without the consent of such Companion Holder; or

 

(ii)        reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or remove the requirement to obtain consent of any Companion Holder, in any such case without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then-outstanding or such Companion Holders, as applicable; or

 

(iii)       adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of Certificates without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or

 

(iv)       change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller; or

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicers or the Special Servicers shall consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing

 

A-1-13

 

Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, that all conditions precedent have been satisfied 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. Furthermore, no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes any provision specifically required to be included therein by an Intercreditor Agreement related to a Companion Loan without in each case the consent of the holder of the related Companion Loan(s).

 

The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer servicing the greater principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of that time, the other Special Servicer, the Master Servicer servicing the greater principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of that time, the other 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, however, that the Holders of the Controlling Class, either Special Servicer, either 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 (solely for the purposes of this calculation, if such right is being exercised after the Distribution Date in February 2030 and any of the Mortgage Loans identified as Mortgage Loan Numbers 11 and 37 on the Mortgage Loan Schedule is still an asset of the Trust, then such Mortgage Loan will be excluded from the then-aggregate stated principal balance of the pool of Mortgage Loans and from the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of the Mortgage Loans).

 

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-SB, Class A-4, Class A-5, 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 and Class R Certificates and the RR Interest)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, with the consent of the Master Servicers, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class V and Class R Certificates and the RR Interest) together with the payment or deemed payment of the Termination Purchase Amount 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

 

A-1-14

 

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 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James’s, living on the date hereof.

 

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.

(hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the General Master Servicer, the General Special Servicer, the NCB Master Servicer, the NCB Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer. 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 percentage interest specified on the face hereof. The Certificates are designated as the BANK 2020-BNK25, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2020-BNK25 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 Trustee and the Certificate Administrator. 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)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the

 

A-2-5

 

treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income. The Certificate Administrator shall be the “partnership representative” within the meaning of Section 6223 of the Code for each Trust REMIC and shall perform all the functions thereof. The Holders of the Class R Certificates, by their acceptance hereof, agree to such designation.

 

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 such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) thereof and to the extent and subject to the limitations set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, on the 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 Accounts 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 each Master Servicer (with respect to its 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 Accounts will be paid to the Master Servicers as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Accounts 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 wire instructions at least 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 presentment 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

 

A-2-6

 

which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation 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 Section 4.01(h) of 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 using the assets of a Plan (such Plan or Person, an “ERISA Prohibited Holder”) or a Disqualified Non-U.S. Tax Person and each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate 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 (I) 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 or a Disqualified Non-U.S. Tax Person, and that it has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.03(p) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and agrees to be bound by them and (II) a representation letter, substantially in the form attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as Exhibit F-2 from the proposed Transferee, in form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar, representing and warranting, among other things, that such Transferee is not an ERISA Prohibited Holder; (C) notwithstanding the delivery of a

 

A-2-7

 

Transferee 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 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 10% 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 Servicers, the Special Servicers 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 none of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicers, the Special Servicers, the Certificate Registrar, or any agent of any of them, shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

 

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties thereto, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or the Companion Holders:

 

(i)         to correct any defect or ambiguity in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in order to address any manifest error in any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;

 

(ii)        to cause the provisions in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to conform or be consistent with or in furtherance of the statements made in the Prospectus (or in an offering document for any related non-offered certificates) with respect to the Certificates, the Trust or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or to correct or supplement any of its provisions which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions therein or to correct any error;

 

A-2-8

(iv)       to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as shall be necessary to maintain the qualification of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code at all times that any Certificate is outstanding, or to avoid or minimize the risk of imposition of any tax on the Trust, any Trust REMIC or the Grantor Trust; provided that the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party requesting such amendment) to the effect that (a) such action is necessary or desirable to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any such tax and (b) such action will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Holder of an RR Interest) or Companion Holder;

 

(v)        to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of Section 5.03(o) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement restricting transfer of the Class R Certificates; provided the Depositor has determined that such change shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, cause the Trust, any Trust REMIC or any of the Certificateholders (other than the Transferor) to be subject to a federal tax caused by a Transfer to a Person that is a Disqualified Organization or a Disqualified Non-U.S. Tax Person;

 

(vi)       to revise or add any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other change; provided that the required action shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Holder of an RR Interest) or any holder of a Serviced Companion Loan not consenting to such revision or addition as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party requesting such amendment or as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies with respect to such amendment or supplement 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 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 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement);

 

(vii)      to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the then-current ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by each Rating Agency, as evidenced by a Rating Agency

 

A-2-9

 

Confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies 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 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 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement); provided that such amendment or supplement shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Holder of an RR Interest) not consenting to such amendment or supplement, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel;

 

(viii)     to modify the provisions of Sections 3.05 and 3.17 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (with respect to reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances and Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts) if (a) the Depositor, the Master Servicers, the Trustee and, for so long as a Control Termination Event has not occurred and is not continuing and with respect to the Mortgage Loans other than any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder, the Directing Certificateholder, determine that the commercial mortgage-backed securities industry standard for such provisions has changed, in order to conform to such industry standard, (b) such modification does not adversely affect the status of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC or the status of the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel and (c) each Rating Agency has delivered a Rating Agency Confirmation and, with regard to any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the applicable rating agencies have delivered a confirmation that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement);

 

(ix)       to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that such amendment shall not adversely affect in any material respects the interests of any Certificateholders (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Holder of the RR Interest), as evidenced by (x) an Opinion of Counsel or (y) if any Certificate is then rated, receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency rating such Certificates; and provided, further, that the Certificate Administrator shall give notice of any such amendment to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Certificate Administrator shall post such notice to the Certificate Administrator’s Website;

A-2-10

 

this securitization transaction are amended or repealed, to the extent required to comply with any such amendment or to modify or eliminate the provision related to the risk retention requirements in the event of such repeal.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment (A) may change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations or rights 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 under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller or (B) may materially and adversely affect the holder of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent.

 

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to 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 for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

 

(i)         reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Mortgage Loans or Whole Loans that are required to be distributed on a Certificate of any Class without the consent of the Holder of the Certificate or which are required to be distributed to a Companion Holder without the consent of such Companion Holder; or

 

(ii)        reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or remove the requirement to obtain consent of any Companion Holder, in any such case without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then-outstanding or such Companion Holders, as applicable; or

 

(iii)       adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of Certificates without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or

 

(iv)       change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller; or

 

(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 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

 

A-2-11

 

considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the Subordinate Companion Holder(s) for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicers or the Special Servicers shall consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, that all conditions precedent have been satisfied 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. Furthermore, no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes any provision specifically required to be included therein by an Intercreditor Agreement related to a Companion Loan without in each case the consent of the holder of the related Companion Loan(s).

 

The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer servicing the greater principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of that time, the other Special Servicer, the Master Servicer servicing the greater principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of that time, the other 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, however, that the Holders of the Controlling Class, either Special Servicer, either 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 (solely for the purposes of this calculation, if such right is being exercised after the Distribution Date in February 2030 and any of the Mortgage Loans identified as Mortgage Loan Numbers 11 and 37 on the Mortgage Loan Schedule is still an asset of the Trust, then such Mortgage Loan will be excluded from the then-aggregate stated principal balance of the pool of Mortgage Loans and from the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of the Mortgage Loans).

 

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-SB, Class A-4, Class A-5, 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 and Class R Certificates

 

A-2-12

 

and the RR Interest)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, with the consent of the Master Servicers, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class V and Class R Certificates and the RR Interest) together with the payment or deemed payment of the Termination Purchase Amount 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 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James’s, living on the date hereof.

 

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 SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES APPLIED IN NEW YORK.

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”), among WELLS FARGO COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE SECURITIES, INC. (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the General Master Servicer, the General Special Servicer, the NCB Master Servicer, the NCB Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer. 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 percentage interest specified on the face hereof. The Certificates are designated as the BANK 2020-BNK25, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2020-BNK25 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 Trustee and the Certificate Administrator. 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-3-4

 

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 such 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, the portion of Excess Interest actually collected on the Mortgage Loans allocated to such Certificate, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Accounts 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 each Master Servicer (with respect to its 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 Accounts will be paid to the Master Servicers as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Accounts 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 wire instructions at least 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 presentment 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 has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such

 

A-3-5

 

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 Section 4.01(h) of 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 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. 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 Servicers, the Special Servicers 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 none of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicers, the Special Servicers, the Certificate Registrar, or any agent of any of them, shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

 

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties thereto, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or the Companion Holders:

 

(i)         to correct any defect or ambiguity in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in order to address any manifest error in any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;

(iv)       to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as shall be necessary to maintain the qualification of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code at all times that any Certificate is outstanding, or to avoid or minimize the risk of imposition of any tax on the Trust, any Trust REMIC or the Grantor Trust; provided that the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party requesting such amendment) to the effect that (a) such action is necessary or desirable to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any such tax and (b) such action will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Holder of an RR Interest) or Companion Holder;

 

(v)        to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of Section 5.03(o) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement restricting transfer of the Class R Certificates; provided the Depositor has determined that such change shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, cause the Trust, any Trust REMIC or any of the Certificateholders (other than the Transferor) to be subject to a federal tax caused by a Transfer to a Person that is a Disqualified Organization or a Disqualified Non-U.S. Tax Person;

(viii)     to modify the provisions of Sections 3.05 and 3.17 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (with respect to reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances and Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts) if (a) the Depositor, the Master Servicers, the Trustee and, for so long as a Control Termination Event has not occurred and is not continuing and with respect to the Mortgage Loans other than any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder, the Directing Certificateholder, determine that the commercial mortgage-backed securities industry standard for such provisions has changed, in order to conform to such industry standard, (b) such modification does not adversely affect the status of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC or the status of the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel and (c) each Rating Agency has delivered a Rating Agency Confirmation and, with regard to any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the applicable rating agencies have delivered a confirmation that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement);

 

(ix)       to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that such amendment shall not adversely affect in any material respects the interests of any Certificateholders (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Holder of the RR Interest), as evidenced by (x) an Opinion of Counsel or (y) if any Certificate is then rated, receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency rating such Certificates; and provided, further, that the Certificate Administrator shall give notice of any such amendment to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Certificate Administrator shall post such notice to the Certificate Administrator’s Website;

 

A-3-8

(xi)       to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions in the event the Risk Retention Rules or any other regulations applicable to the risk retention requirements for this securitization transaction are amended or repealed, to the extent required to comply with any such amendment or to modify or eliminate the provision related to the risk retention requirements in the event of such repeal.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment (A) may change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations or rights 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 under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller or (B) may materially and adversely affect the holder of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent.

 

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to 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 for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

 

(i)         reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Mortgage Loans or Whole Loans that are required to be distributed on a Certificate of any Class without the consent of the Holder of the Certificate or which are required to be distributed to a Companion Holder without the consent of such Companion Holder; or

 

(ii)        reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or remove the requirement to obtain consent of any Companion Holder, in any such case without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then-outstanding or such Companion Holders, as applicable; or

 

(iii)       adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of Certificates without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or

 

(iv)       change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller; or

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicers or the Special Servicers shall consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, that all conditions precedent have been satisfied 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. Furthermore, no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes any provision specifically required to be included therein by an Intercreditor Agreement related to a Companion Loan without in each case the consent of the holder of the related Companion Loan(s).

 

The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer servicing the greater principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of that time, the other Special Servicer, the Master Servicer servicing the greater principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of that time, the other 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, however, that the Holders of the Controlling Class, either Special Servicer, either 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 (solely for the purposes of this calculation, if such right is being exercised after the Distribution Date in February 2030 and any of the Mortgage Loans identified as Mortgage Loan Numbers 11 and 37 on the Mortgage Loan Schedule is still an asset of the Trust, then such Mortgage Loan

 

A-3-10

 

will be excluded from the then-aggregate stated principal balance of the pool of Mortgage Loans and from the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of the Mortgage Loans).

 

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-SB, Class A-4, Class A-5, 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 and Class R Certificates and the RR Interest)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, with the consent of the Master Servicers, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class V and Class R Certificates and the RR Interest) together with the payment or deemed payment of the Termination Purchase Amount 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 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James’s, living on the date hereof.

 

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 SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES APPLIED IN NEW YORK.

THIS CERTIFIES THAT [FOR BOOK-ENTRY CERTIFICATES AND SOLELY FOLLOWING THE RR INTEREST TRANSFER RESTRICTION PERIOD: CEDE & CO.] [FOR DEFINITIVE CERTIFICATES: [WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION][BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION][MORGAN STANLEY BANK, N.A.]] is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the RR Interest issued by the Trust created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of February 1, 2020 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among WELLS FARGO COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE SECURITIES, INC. (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the General Master Servicer, the General Special Servicer, the NCB Master Servicer, the NCB Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer. 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 of the RR Interest. The Certificates are designated as the BANK 2020-BNK25, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2020-BNK25 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 Trustee and the Certificate Administrator. 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

 

A-4-3

 

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 (i) 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 (the “Code”) and (ii) 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 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 principal and interest (including Excess Interest) then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such 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 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 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the rate set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement specified above on the Certificate Balance of this Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution Date. Principal and interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the Aggregate 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.

 

Retained Certificate 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 Retained Certificate Realized Losses allocated to the RR Interest 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 and 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 Accounts 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 each Master Servicer (with respect to its 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

 

A-4-4

 

earned on funds in the Collection Accounts will be paid to the Master Servicers as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Accounts 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 wire instructions at least 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 Retained Certificate Realized Losses previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment 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 has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation 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 Section 4.01(h) of 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 receipt by the Certificate Administrator of (i) a certificate from the
prospective Transferee in the form set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, countersigned by the Retaining Sponsor
with a medallion stamp guarantee of the Retaining Sponsor and (ii) a certificate from the prospective Transferor,
countersigned by the Retaining Sponsor with a medallion stamp guarantee of the Retaining Sponsor, in the form set forth in
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

The RR Interest will be issued in fully registered, certificated form in minimum denominations of $1, and in integral multiples of $0.01 in excess thereof, with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial Certificate Balance of such Class.

 

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 Servicers, the Special Servicers 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 none of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicers, the Special Servicers, the Certificate Registrar, or any agent of any of them, shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

 

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties thereto, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or the Companion Holders:

 

(i) to correct any defect or ambiguity in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in order to address any manifest error in any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;

(iv)  to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as shall be necessary to maintain the qualification of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions

 

A-4-6

(vi)  to revise or add any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other change; provided that the required action shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Holder of an RR Interest) or any holder of a Serviced Companion Loan not consenting to such revision or addition as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party requesting such amendment or as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies with respect to such amendment or supplement 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 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 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement);

 

(vii) to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the then-current ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by each Rating Agency, as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies 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 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 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement); provided that such amendment or supplement shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Holder of an RR Interest) not consenting to such amendment or supplement, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel;

A-4-7

 

Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts) if (a) the Depositor, the Master Servicers, the Trustee and, for so long as a Control Termination Event has not occurred and is not continuing and with respect to the Mortgage Loans other than any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder, the Directing Certificateholder, determine that the commercial mortgage-backed securities industry standard for such provisions has changed, in order to conform to such industry standard, (b) such modification does not adversely affect the status of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC or the status of the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel and (c) each Rating Agency has delivered a Rating Agency Confirmation and, with regard to any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the applicable rating agencies have delivered a confirmation that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement);

 

(ix)  to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that such amendment shall not adversely affect in any material respects the interests of any Certificateholders (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Holder of the RR Interest), as evidenced by (x) an Opinion of Counsel or (y) if any Certificate is then rated, receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency rating such Certificates; and provided, further, that the Certificate Administrator shall give notice of any such amendment to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Certificate Administrator shall post such notice to the Certificate Administrator’s Website;

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment (A) may change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations or rights 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 under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller or (B) may materially and adversely affect the holder of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent.

 

A-4-8

 

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to 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 for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

 

(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Mortgage Loans or Whole Loans that are required to be distributed on a Certificate of any Class without the consent of the Holder of the Certificate or which are required to be distributed to a Companion Holder without the consent of such Companion Holder; or

 

(ii)   reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or remove the requirement to obtain consent of any Companion Holder, in any such case without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then-outstanding or such Companion Holders, as applicable; or

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicers or the Special Servicers shall consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, that all conditions precedent have been satisfied 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

 

A-4-9

 

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. Furthermore, no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes any provision specifically required to be included therein by an Intercreditor Agreement related to a Companion Loan without in each case the consent of the holder of the related Companion Loan(s).

 

The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer servicing the greater principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of that time, the other Special Servicer, the Master Servicer servicing the greater principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of that time, the other 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, however, that the Holders of the Controlling Class, either Special Servicer, either 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 (solely for the purposes of this calculation, if such right is being exercised after the Distribution Date in February 2030 and any of the Mortgage Loans identified as Mortgage Loan Numbers 11 and 37 on the Mortgage Loan Schedule is still an asset of the Trust, then such Mortgage Loan will be excluded from the then-aggregate stated principal balance of the pool of Mortgage Loans and from the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of the Mortgage Loans).

 

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-SB, Class A-4, Class A-5, 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 and Class R Certificates and the RR Interest)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, with the consent of the Master Servicers, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class V and Class R Certificates and the RR Interest) together with the payment or deemed payment of the Termination Purchase Amount 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 21

 

A-4-10

 

years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James’s, living on the date hereof.

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

undertakes to reimburse the Trust for any costs incurred by it in connection with this transfer.

3.         The Purchaser has reviewed the Preliminary Prospectus and the Final Prospectus relating to the Offered Certificates (collectively, the “Prospectus”) (and, with respect to Offered Private Certificates, the Preliminary Private Placement Memorandum and the Final Private Placement Memorandum related to such Offered Private Certificates) 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.

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Exhibit D-1-1

 

thereof, to a Disqualified Organization. For the purposes hereof, a Disqualified Organization is any of the following: (i) the United States, any State or political subdivision thereof, any possession of the United States or any agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing (other than an instrumentality which is a corporation if all of its activities are subject to tax and, except for the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, a majority of its board of directors is not selected by such governmental unit), (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 a 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

 

Exhibit D-1-2

 

(iii)       the present value of the anticipated tax savings associated with holding such Class R Certificate as the related Trust 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 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

 

Exhibit D-1-3

 

substantially the same form as this affidavit and agreement. The Purchaser expressly agrees that it will not consummate any such transfer if it knows or believes that any representation contained in such affidavit and agreement is false.

 

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” of each Trust REMIC pursuant to Section 10.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

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, dated as of February 1, 2020 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as General Master Servicer, KeyBank National Association, as General Special Servicer, National Cooperative Bank, N.A., as NCB Master Servicer and as NCB Special Servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee, and Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer. 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 in the form attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as Exhibit D-1. The Transferor does not know or believe that any representation contained therein is 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

 

Exhibit D-2-1

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.

Debt Service Coverage Ratios are updated periodically as new NOI figures become available from borrowers on an asset level. In
all cases the most current DSCR provided by the Servicer is used. To the extent that no DSCR is provided by the Servicer, information
from the offering document is used. The Trustee makes no representations as to the accuracy of the data provided by the borrower
for this calculation.

	 
	 	 	 
	 	(2)
Anticipated Remaining Term and WAM are each calculated based upon the term from the current month to the earlier of the Anticipated
Repayment Date, if applicable, and the Maturity Date. 

	 
	 	 	 
	 	(3) Data in this table was calculated by allocating pro-rata the current
loan information to the properties based upon the Cut-Off Date balance of each property as disclosed in the offering document.

	 
	 	 	 
	 	The
Scheduled Balance Totals reflect the aggregate balances of all pooled loans as reported in the CREFC Loan Periodic Update File.
To the extent that the Scheduled Balance Total figure for the “State” and “Property” stratification tables
is not equal to the sum of the scheduled balance figures for each state or property, the difference is explained by loans that
have been modified into a split loan structure. The “State” and “Property” stratification tables do not
include the balance of the subordinate note (sometimes called the B-piece or a “hope note”) of a loan that has been
modified into a split-loan structure. Rather, the scheduled balance for each state or property only reflects the balance of the
senior note (sometimes called the A-piece) of a loan that has been modified into a split-loan structure.	 
	 	 	 
	 	Note: There are no Hyper-Amortization
Loans included in the Mortgage Pool.

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:

 

    Exhibit P-2-3

     

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

 

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

 

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.

 

    Exhibit P-2-4

     

    
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.

Exhibit U-1

 

		Re:	BANK 2020-BNK25, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 2020-BNK25

 

Mortgage Loan (the “Mortgage Loan”) identified by loan number _____ [and loan number [_______]] on the Mortgage Loan Schedule attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and heretofore secured by the Mortgaged Properties identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule by the following names:____________________
            ____________________

 

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.

 

As [General][NCB] 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 [General][NCB] 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 [General][NCB] Master Servicer received an opinion of counsel (from counsel approved by the [General][NCB] Master Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard) that the defeasance will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event.

 

Exhibit U-2

 

(v)        The [General][NCB] 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.

 

(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 [General][NCB] 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 [General][NCB] Master Servicer received written confirmation from a firm of independent certified public accountants, who were approved by the [General][NCB] 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

 

Exhibit U-3

 

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 [General][NCB] 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.

 

(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 [General][NCB] 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.

 

Exhibit U-4

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the [General][NCB] Master Servicer has caused this Notice and Certification to be executed as of the date captioned above.

The [General][NCB] Special Servicer has notified the Operating Advisor that [●] Specially Serviced Loans were transferred to special servicing in the prior calendar year [INSERT YEAR].

 

	
 

	
a.

	
[●] of those Specially Serviced Loans are still being analyzed by the [General][NCB] Special Servicer as part of the development of an Asset Status Report.

Executive Summary

 

Based on the requirements and qualifications set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as well as the items listed below, the Operating Advisor (in accordance with the Operating Advisor’s analysis requirements outlined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) has undertaken a limited review of the [General][NCB] Special Servicer’s reported actions on the loans identified in this report. Based solely on such limited review, and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications set forth herein, the Operating Advisor believes, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that the [General][NCB] Special Servicer [is/is not] operating in compliance with the Servicing Standard with respect to its performance of its duties under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement during the prior calendar year on a “platform level basis”. [The Operating Advisor believes, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that the

 

 

1 This report is an indicative report and does not reflect the final form of annual report to be used in any particular year.  The Operating Advisor will have the ability to modify or alter the organization and content of any particular report, subject to the compliance with the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, including, without limitation, provisions relating to Privileged Information.

 

Exhibit V-1

 

[General][NCB] Special Servicer has failed to materially comply with the Servicing Standard as a result of the following material deviations.].

 

● [LIST OF MATERIAL DEVIATION ITEMS]

 

In addition, the Operating Advisor notes the following: [PROVIDE SUMMARY OF ANY ADDITIONAL MATERIAL INFORMATION].

 

● [ADD RECOMMENDATION OF REPLACEMENT OF SPECIAL SERVICER, IF APPLICABLE]

 

In connection with the assessment set forth in this report, the Operating Advisor:

 

	
 

	
1.

	
Reviewed the Asset Status Reports, the [General][NCB] Special Servicer’s assessment of compliance report, attestation report by a third party regarding the [General][NCB] Special Servicer’s compliance with its obligations and net present value calculations and Appraisal Reduction Amount calculations and [LIST OTHER REVIEWED INFORMATION] for the following [ ] Specially Serviced Loans: [List related mortgage loans]

 

	
 

	
2.

	
Consulted with the [General][NCB] Special Servicer as provided under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Operating Advisor’s analysis of the Asset Status Reports (including related net present value calculations and Appraisal Reduction Amount calculations) related to the Specially Serviced Loans should be considered a limited investigation and not be considered a full or limited audit. For instance, we did not review each page of the [General][NCB] Special Servicer’s policy and procedure manuals (including amendments and appendices), re-engineer the quantitative aspects of their net present value calculation, visit any property, visit the [General][NCB] Special Servicer, visit the Directing Certificateholder or interact with any borrower. In addition, our review of the net present value calculations and Appraisal Reduction Amount calculations is limited to the mathematical accuracy of the calculations and the corresponding application of the non-discretionary portions of the applicable formulas, and as such, does not take into account the reasonableness of the discretionary portions of such formulas.

 

	
 

	
III.

	
Specific Items of Review

 

	
 

	
1.

	
The Operating Advisor reviewed the following items in connection with the generation of this report: [LIST MATERIAL ITEMS].

 

	
 

	
2.

	
During the prior year, the Operating Advisor consulted with the [General][NCB] Special Servicer regarding its strategy plan for a limited number of issues related to the following Specially Serviced Loans: [LIST]. The Operating Advisor participated in discussions and made strategic observations and recommended alternative courses of action to the extent it deemed such observations and recommendations appropriate.

 

	
 

	
3.

	
Appraisal Reduction Amount calculations and net present value calculations:

 

Exhibit V-2

 

	
 

	
4.

	
The Operating Advisor [received/did not receive] information necessary to recalculate and verify the accuracy of the mathematical calculations and the corresponding application of the non-discretionary portions of the applicable formulas required to be utilized in connection with any Appraisal Reduction Amount or net present value calculations used in the [General][NCB] Special Servicer’s determination of what course of action to take in connection with the workout or liquidation of a Specially Serviced Loan prior to the utilization by the [General][NCB] Special Servicer.

 

	
 

	
a.

		Re:	Access to Certain Information Regarding BANK 2020-BNK25,
Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2020-BNK25

 

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”), among the Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as General Master Servicer, KeyBank National Association, as General Special Servicer, National Cooperative Bank, N.A., as NCB Master Servicer and as NCB Special Servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee, and Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer. Defined terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

[Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”)][National Cooperative Bank, N.A. (“NCB”)][KeyBank National Association (“KeyBank”)] understands that [____] (the “Company”) is requesting certain confidential or non-public information relating to the

 

Exhibit X-1

 

[                    ] [        ], 20[    ]
Page 2

 

Mortgage Loans to which the Company has continuing rights as a Certificateholder. The Company is requesting such information for the purpose of analyzing asset performance and evaluating any continuing rights the Company may have under the Trust (the “Permitted Purpose”). The Company agrees that the Permitted Purpose shall not include the use or disclosure of the Confidential Information (as defined below) in any manner that violates any applicable law, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the related mortgage loan documents.

 

[Wells Fargo][NCB][KeyBank] 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 [Wells Fargo][NCB][KeyBank] by third parties, (b) may not have been verified by [Wells Fargo][NCB][KeyBank], and (c) may be incomplete or contain inaccuracies. The Company agrees that [Wells Fargo/KeyBank], the [“General Master Servicer”][“NCB Master Servicer”][“General Special Servicer”][“NCB 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) [Wells Fargo][NCB][KeyBank]’s failure or inability to provide the Confidential Information to the Company for any reason. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following will not constitute “Confidential Information“ for purposes of this letter agreement: (a) information that was already in Company’s possession prior to its receipt from [Wells Fargo][NCB][KeyBank]; (b) information that is obtained by Company from a third person who, insofar as is known to Company, is not prohibited from transmitting the information to Company by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation to [Wells Fargo][NCB][KeyBank]; (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 [Wells Fargo][NCB][KeyBank]’s election): (i) responses to reasonable written inquiries received from the Company, (ii) conference calls conducted on a reasonably scheduled basis with [Wells Fargo][NCB][KeyBank]’s surveillance group, or (iii) direct on-line access (read-only capacity) to the information available on the applicable [____] system or any successor or replacement system (“System”). [Wells Fargo][NCB][KeyBank] may cease or defer providing the Company with Confidential Information in the event that (a) the Company or its Representatives violate any provision hereof, or (b) [Wells Fargo][NCB][KeyBank] determines (in its sole discretion) that such termination is necessary for any reason, including its determination that such action is required pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the related Mortgage Loan documents, or any applicable law. [Wells Fargo][NCB][KeyBank] shall cease to provide the Company with Confidential Information if [Wells Fargo][NCB][KeyBank] has actual knowledge that the Company or its Representatives are affiliates of any borrower under the Mortgage Loan documents and [Wells Fargo][NCB][KeyBank] determines that the provision, notice or access to such Confidential Information would violate the accepted servicing practices or servicing standards as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Company’s

 

Exhibit X-2

 

[                    ] [        ], 20[    ]
Page 3

 

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. [Wells Fargo][NCB][KeyBank]’s remedies hereunder, at law or at equity, are cumulative and may be combined.

 

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

 

This letter agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without the application of conflict of laws principles. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, [Wells Fargo][NCB][KeyBank] intends at all times to comply with the terms and provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and nothing in this letter agreement should be construed to limit or qualify any of [Wells Fargo][NCB][KeyBank]’s rights or obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. This letter agreement may be executed in counterparts and by facsimile/Portable Document Format (PDF); each such counterpart shall be deemed to be an original instrument, and all such counterparts together shall constitute one agreement.

 

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

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

 

    Exhibit QQ-1

     

    
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 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.

2. Whole Loan; Ownership of Mortgage Loans. Except with respect to a Mortgage Loan that 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 the Depositor, no Mortgage Note or Mortgage was subject to any assignment (other than assignments to the Mortgage Loan Seller or (with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) to the related Non-Serviced Trustee), participation (it being understood that a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan does not constitute a participation) or pledge, and the Mortgage Loan 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 (other than with respect to agreements among noteholders with respect to a Whole Loan), any other ownership interests and other interests on, in or to such Mortgage Loan other than any servicing rights appointment, subservicing or similar agreement. The Mortgage Loan Seller has full right and authority to sell, assign and transfer each Mortgage Loan, and the assignment to the Depositor 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.

Review the amounts listed on the original Mortgage Note and Mortgage for an indication that they match the amounts listed on the Mortgage Loan Schedule. If the amounts are the same, then such Mortgage Loan would be considered a Whole Loan. If there is more than one property then the Mortgage for each Mortgaged Property would need to be aggregated. If identified as such, it will be a Test pass.

Review any notice previously delivered by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, of any alleged defect or breach with respect to any Delinquent Loan  (collectively, the “MS Servicer Notices”) for notation of any Mortgage Note or Mortgage that was subject to any assignment (other than assignments to the Mortgage Loan Seller or, with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the related Non-Serviced Trustee for the non-serviced securitization trust), participation or pledge, or that the Mortgage Loan Seller did not have good title to, and was the sole owner of, each Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, charges, pledges, encumbrances, participations, any other ownership interests on, in or to such Mortgage Loan other than any servicing rights appointment or similar agreement.

3. Loan Document Status. Each related Mortgage Note, Mortgage, Assignment of Leases (if a separate instrument), guaranty and other agreement executed by or on behalf of the related Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor in connection with such Mortgage Loan is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the related Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor (subject to any non-recourse provisions contained in any of the foregoing agreements and any applicable state anti- deficiency or market value limit deficiency legislation), as applicable, and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by (i) bankruptcy,  insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally  and (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether  such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law and except that certain provisions in such Mortgage Loan  documents (including, without limitation, provisions requiring the payment of

default interest, late fees or Prepayment Premium/Yield Maintenance Charge) may be further limited or rendered

Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, there is no valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right of rescission available to the related Mortgagor with respect to any of the related Mortgage Notes, Mortgages or other Mortgage Loan documents, including, without limitation, any such valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right based on intentional fraud by Mortgage Loan Seller in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan, that would deny the Mortgagee the principal benefits intended to be provided by the Mortgage Note, Mortgage or other Mortgage Loan documents.

If no such notation is found, it will be a Test pass.

	
 

	
4. Mortgage Provisions. The  Mortgage Loan documents for each Mortgage Loan, together with applicable state law, contain provisions that render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the practical realization against the Mortgaged Property of the principal benefits of the

security intended to be provided thereby, including realization by judicial or, if applicable, non-judicial foreclosure subject to

Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each endorsement or assignment of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of Leases from the Mortgage Loan Seller or its Affiliate is in recordable form (but for the insertion of the name of the assignee and any related recording information which is not yet available to the Mortgage Loan Seller) and constitutes a legal, valid and binding endorsement or assignment from the Mortgage Loan Seller, or its Affiliate, as applicable. Each related Mortgage and Assignment of Leases is freely assignable without the consent of the related Mortgagor. Each related Mortgage is a legal, valid and enforceable first lien on the related Mortgagor’s fee (or if identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, leasehold) interest in the Mortgaged Property in the principal amount of such Mortgage Loan or allocated loan amount (subject only to Permitted Encumbrances (as defined below) and the exceptions to representation and warranty 8 below (each such exception, a “Title Exception”)), except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Standard Qualifications. Such Mortgaged Property (subject to Permitted Encumbrances and Title Exceptions) as of origination and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, as of the Cut-off Date, is free and clear of any recorded mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens and other recorded encumbrances that would be 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 are bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by the applicable Title Policy (as described below), and as of origination and, to the Mortgage Loan

8. Permitted Liens; Title Insurance. Each Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan is covered by an American Land Title Association loan title insurance policy or a comparable form of loan title insurance policy approved for use in the applicable jurisdiction (or, if such policy is yet to be issued,

by a pro forma policy, a preliminary title policy or a “marked up” commitment, in each case with escrow instructions and binding on the title insurer) (the “Title Policy”) in the original principal amount of such Mortgage Loan (or with respect to a Mortgage Loan secured by multiple properties, an amount equal to at least the allocated loan amount with respect to the Title Policy for each such property) after all advances of principal (including any advances held in escrow or reserves), that insures for the benefit of the owner of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage, the first priority lien of the

Mortgage (which lien secures the related
Whole Loan, in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan), which lien is subject only to (a) the lien of current
real property taxes, water  charges, sewer rents and assessments not yet due and payable; (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions,
rights of way, easements and other matters of public record specifically identified in the Title Policy; (c) the exceptions (general
and specific) and exclusions set forth in such Title Policy; (d) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject;

provided that none of clauses (a) through (g), individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely interferes with the
value or principal use of the Mortgaged Property, the security intended to be provided by
such Mortgage, or the current ability of the related Mortgaged Property to generate net cash flow sufficient to service the
related Mortgage Loan or the Mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations when they become due (collectively, the
“Permitted Encumbrances”). For purposes of clause (a) of the immediately preceding sentence, any such
taxes, assessments and other charges shall not be considered due and payable until the date on which interest and/or
penalties would be payable thereon. Except as contemplated by clause (f) of the second preceding sentence none of the
Permitted Encumbrances are mortgage liens that are senior to or coordinate and co-equal with the lien of the related
Mortgage. Such Title Policy (or, if it has yet to be issued, the coverage to be provided thereby) is in full force and

In such instance, the PML 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 PML 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 or “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s or “A-” by S&P in an amount not less than 100% of the PML.

 

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 restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property, with respect to all property losses in excess of 5% of the then-outstanding principal amount of the related Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, as applicable, the Mortgagee (or a trustee appointed by it) having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as the repair or restoration progresses, or (b) to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan together with any accrued interest thereon.

In the case of any Mortgage Loan, in the event of a taking of
any portion of a Mortgaged Property by a State or any political subdivision or authority thereof, whether by legal proceeding
or by agreement, unless an opinion of counsel is delivered as specified in clause (y) of the preceding paragraph, the Mortgagor
can be required to pay down the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans)
in an amount not less than the amount required by the REMIC Provisions and, to such extent, the award from any such taking may
not be required to be applied to the restoration of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor, if, immediately after
the release of such portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage (but taking into account the planned restoration)
the fair market value of the real property constituting the remaining Mortgaged Property (reduced by (1) the amount of any lien
on the real property that is senior to the Mortgage Loan and (2) a proportionate amount of any lien on the real property that
is in parity with the Mortgage Loan) is not  equal to at least 80% of the remaining principal balance of the Mortgage Loan

(b)           Subordinated Lender shall have the right without the consent of Lender in each instance to enter into any amendment, deferral, extension, modification, increase, renewal, replacement, consolidation, supplement or waiver (collectively, a “Subordinated Loan Modification”) of the Subordinated Loan or the Subordinated Loan Documents provided that no such Subordinated Loan Modification shall (i) increase the interest rate or principal amount of the Subordinated Loan, (ii) increase in any other material respect any monetary obligations of under the Subordinated Loan Documents, (iii) extend or shorten the scheduled maturity date of the Subordinated Loan (except that Subordinated Lender may permit Borrower to exercise any extension options in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Subordinated Loan Documents), (iv) convert or exchange the Subordinated Loan into or for any other indebtedness or subordinate the Subordinated Loan to any indebtedness of Borrower, (v) provide for any additional contingent interest, additional interest or so called “kicker” measured on the basis of the cash flow or appreciation of the Project (or other similar equity participation), (vi) amend or modify the provisions of the Subordinated Loan Documents limiting transfers of direct or indirect interest in Borrower, (vii) modify or amend the terms and provision of any Subordinated Loan Document with respect to the manner, timing or method of the application of payments under the Subordinated Loan Documents, (vi) cross default the Subordinated Loan with any other indebtedness, or (vii) amend or modify the provisions limiting transfers of interests in the Borrower or the Project. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if an Event of Default exists under the Subordinated Loan Documents, Subordinated Lender shall be permitted to modify or amend the Subordinated Loan Documents in connection with a work out or other surrender, compromise, release, renewal or modification of the Subordinated Loan except that under no conditions shall clause (i), with respect to increases in principal amounts only, clause (ii), clause (iii) (with respect to shortening the maturity only), clause (iv) or clause (v) be modified without the written consent of the Lender. In addition and notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6(b), any amounts funded by the Subordinated Lender under the Subordinated Loan Documents as a result of (A) the making of any Protective Advances or other advances by the Subordinated Lender, or (B) interest accruals or accretions and any compounding thereof (including default interest), shall not be deemed to contravene this Section 6(b).

 

(c)           Lender shall deliver to Subordinated Lender copies of any and all modifications, amendments, extensions, consolidations, spreaders, restatements, alterations, changes or revisions to any one or more of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, any side letters, waivers or consents entered into, executed or delivered by Lender) within a reasonable time after any of such applicable instruments have been executed by Lender.

 

(d)           Subordinated Lender shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all modifications, amendments, extensions, consolidations, spreaders, restatements, alterations,

    Exhibit TT-9

     

    
changes or revisions to any one or more of the Subordinated Loan Documents (including, without limitation, any side letters, waivers or consents entered into, executed or delivered by Subordinated Lender) within a reasonable time after any of such applicable instruments have been executed by Subordinated Lender.

 

5.             Default Notice.

 

(a)           Subordinated Lender shall give Lender notice of any default under the Subordinated Loan Documents promptly upon the giving of such notice of default to Borrower and in all instances prior to accelerating the Subordinated Loan on account of such default. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, cure any such default, in which event Subordinated Lender shall accept such cure by Lender as and for the cure by Borrower.

 

(b)           Lender shall give Subordinated Lender notice of any default under the Loan Documents promptly upon the giving of such notice of default to Borrower and in all instances prior to accelerating the Loan on account of such default. Subordinated Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, cure any such default, in which event Lender shall accept such cure by Subordinated Lender as and for the cure by Borrower.

 

6.             Casualty and Condemnation. In the event of a casualty to the buildings or improvements constructed on any portion of the Project or a condemnation or taking under a power of eminent domain of all or any portion of the Project, Lender shall have a first and prior interest in and to any payments, awards, proceeds, distributions, or consideration arising from any such event (the “Award”). Subordinated Lender acknowledges and agrees that so long as the Loan is outstanding, it has no lien on or security interest in any Award, nor any rights with respect to any Award except as expressly provided in this Agreement, and Subordinated Lender assigns its rights to any Award to Lender up to an amount equal to the then outstanding amount of the Loan. Subordinated Lender agrees to promptly, upon request by Lender, execute and deliver to Lender and/or to any other party as so directed by Lender, a written confirmation of the terms set forth in the immediately preceding sentence and take sure other actions reasonably requested by Lender to further evidence the foregoing agreement (although failure of Subordinated Lender to do so shall not affect the foregoing agreement). If the amount of the Award is in excess of all amounts owed to Lender under the Loan Documents, however, and either the Loan has been paid in full or Borrower is entitled to a remittance of same under the Loan Documents other than to restore the Project, such excess Award or portion to be so remitted to Borrower shall, to the extent permitted in the Loan Documents and required by the Subordinated Loan Documents, be paid to or at the direction of Subordinated Lender, unless other Persons have claimed the right to such awards or proceeds, in which case Lender shall only be required to provide notice to Subordinated Lender of such excess Award and of any other claims thereto. In the event of any competing claims for any such excess Award, Lender shall continue to hold such excess Award until Lender receives an agreement signed by all Persons making a claim to the excess Award or a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction directing Lender as to how and to which Person(s) the excess Award is to be distributed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a casualty or condemnation, Lender shall release the Award from any such event to the Borrower if and to the extent required by the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents in order to repair and restore the Project in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents. Any portion of the Award made available to the Borrower

    Exhibit TT-10

     

    
 for the repair or restoration of the Project shall not be subject to attachment by Subordinated Lender.

 

7.             Foreclosure of the Subordinated Mortgage: Subordinated Lender expressly agrees that, for so long as a Loan shall remain outstanding, (A) due notice of the commencement of any foreclosure of the Subordinated Loan Documents shall be given to Lender, and true copies of all papers served or entered in such action will be delivered to Lender, (B) no portion of the rents, issues and profits of the Project shall be collected in connection with the foreclosure of the Subordinated Loan Documents except through a receiver appointed by the court in which such foreclosure action is brought, after due notice for the appointment of such receiver shall have been given to Lender, (C) the rents, issues and profits collected by any such receiver shall be applied first to the payment of taxes, maintenance and operating charges and disbursements incurred in connection with the operation and maintenance of the Project and next to the payment of principal and interest (including, without limitation, default interest and late payment charges) due under the Loan Documents, and (D) if during the pendency of any such foreclosure action an action shall be brought for the foreclosure of the Loan Documents and an application shall be made for an extension of the receivership for the benefit of Lender, all such rents, issues and profits held by such receiver as of the date of such application shall be applied by the receiver solely for the benefit of Lender, and the Subordinated Lender shall not be entitled to any portion thereof until Lender has received all amounts then due to it. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Subordinated Lender consents to, and shall not object to, any action or proceeding at any time initiated by Lender for the appointment of a receiver and Subordinated Lender further agrees that it shall not institute any action or proceeding for the appointment of a receiver at any time during which a receiver shall have already been appointed for the benefit of Lender, and if Subordinated Lender shall have appointed or caused the appointment of a receiver prior to Lender’s initiation of proceedings to do so, Subordinated Lender agrees to take all action reasonably necessary to terminate such appointment in order to facilitate Lender’s appointment of same.

 

8.             Rights of Subrogation. No payment or distribution to Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and no Protective Advance by Subordinated Lender shall entitle Subordinated Lender to exercise any right of subrogation in respect thereof prior to the payment in full of the Loan, and Subordinated Lender agrees that, except with respect to the enforcement of its remedies under the Subordinated Loan Documents permitted hereunder, prior to the satisfaction of all obligations under the Loan it shall not acquire, by subrogation or otherwise, any lien, estate, right or other interest in any portion of the Project or any other collateral now securing the Loan or the proceeds therefrom that is or may be prior to, or of equal priority to, any of the Loan Documents or the liens, rights, estates and interests created thereby.

 

9.             Transfer of Subordinated Loan or Loan. Subordinated Lender shall not Transfer more than 49% of its beneficial interest in the Subordinated Loan unless either (i) a Rating Agency Confirmation has been given with respect to such Transfer, in which case the related transferee shall thereafter be deemed to be a “Qualified Transferee” for all purposes of this Agreement, or (ii) such Transfer is to a Qualified Transferee. Any such transferee must assume in writing the obligations of Subordinated Lender hereunder and agree to be bound by the terms and provisions hereof. Such proposed transferee shall also remake each of the representations and warranties contained herein for the benefit of the Lender.

    Exhibit TT-11

     

    
At least five (5) days prior to a transfer to a Qualified Transferee, the Subordinated Lender shall provide to Lender a certification that such transfer will be made in accordance with this Section 9, such certification to include the name and contact information of the Qualified Transferee, and a statement as to how it meets the definition of Qualified Transferee.

 

Subordinated Lender acknowledges that any Rating Agency Confirmation may be granted or denied by the Rating Agencies in their sole and absolute discretion and that such Rating Agencies may charge customary fees in connection with any such action, which fee, together with any and all other reasonable costs and expenses of Rating Agencies or Lender incurred in connection with the processing of same, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, shall be paid by Subordinated Lender.

 

Lender may, from time to time, in its sole discretion Transfer all or any of the Loan or any interest therein, and notwithstanding any such Transfer or subsequent Transfer, the Loan and the Loan Documents shall be and remain a senior obligation in the respects set forth in this Agreement to the Subordinated Loan and the Subordinated Loan Documents in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

 

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, Subordinated Lender agrees that it shall in no event Transfer all or any part of the Subordinated Loan to Borrower or to any Person which is an Affiliate of Borrower and any such Transfer shall be void ab initio.

 

10.          Notices. All notices required to be given hereunder shall be sent by first class, certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or delivered by hand, to either party at such party’s address first set forth above. Notices shall be deemed to have been given when received. Either party may change its address for notices hereunder by written notice to the other party.

 

11.          Obligations Hereunder Not Affected. All rights, interests, agreements and obligations of Lender and Subordinated Lender under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of:

 

(i)            any lack of validity or enforceability of the Loan Documents or the Subordinated Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

 

(ii)           any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any other collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of or consent to or departure from any guaranty, for all or any portion of the Loan or the Subordinated Loan;

 

(iii)          any manner of application of collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any portion of the Loan or the Subordinated Loan, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any collateral for all or any portion of the Loan or the Subordinated Loan or any other assets of Borrower or any other Affiliates of Borrower;

 

(iv)          any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of Borrower or any other Affiliates of Borrower; or

    Exhibit TT-12

     

    
(v)           any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Borrower or a subordinated creditor or a Lender subject to the terms hereof.

 

12.          Continued Effectiveness; Reinstatement. This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of all or any portion of the Loan is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by Lender or Subordinated Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrower or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

 

13.          Estoppel.

 

(a).          Subordinated Lender shall, within ten (10) days following a request from Lender, provide Lender with a written statement setting forth the then current outstanding principal balance of the Subordinated Loan, the aggregate accrued and unpaid interest under the Subordinated Loan, and stating whether to Subordinated Lender’s knowledge any default or Event of Default exists under the Subordinated Loan, it being intended that any such estoppel delivered pursuant to this Section 13 may be relied upon by Lender and by any prospective purchaser of all or any interest in the Loan.

 

(b).          Lender shall, within ten (10) days following a request from Subordinated Lender, provide Subordinated Lender with a written statement setting forth the then current outstanding principal balance of the Loan, the aggregate accrued and unpaid interest under the Loan, and stating whether to Lender’s knowledge any default or Event of Default exists under the Loan, it being intended that any such estoppel delivered pursuant to this Section 13 may be relied upon by Subordinated Lender and by any prospective purchaser of all or any interest in the Subordinated Loan.

 

14.          No Third Party Beneficiaries; No Modification. The parties hereto do not intend the benefits of this Agreement to inure to Borrower, or any other Person other than the respective successors and permitted assignees of the parties hereto. This Agreement may not be changed or terminated orally, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any change is sought.

 

15.          Counterpart Originals. This Agreement may be executed in counterpart originals, each of which shall constitute an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

 

16.          No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

 

17.          No Joint Venture. Nothing provided herein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy in common or joint tenancy relationship between or among any of the parties hereto.

    Exhibit TT-13

     

    
18.          Captions. The captions in this Agreement are inserted only as a matter of convenience and for reference, and are not and shall not be deemed to be a part hereof.

 

19.          Conflicts. In the event of any conflict, ambiguity or inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any of the Loan Documents or the Subordinated Loan Documents, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

 

20.          No Release. Nothing herein contained shall operate to release Borrower from (a) its obligation to keep and perform all of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants and agreements contained in the Loan Documents or (b) any liability of Borrower under the Loan Documents or to release Borrower from (x) its obligation to keep and perform all of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants and agreements contained in the Subordinated Loan Documents or (y) any liability of Borrower under the Subordinated Loan Documents.

 

21.          Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement or the application hereof to any party hereto shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute, regulation, or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform to such statute, regulation or rule of law, and the remainder of this Agreement and the application of any such invalid or unenforceable provisions to parties, jurisdictions or circumstances other than to whom or to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby nor shall same affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement.

 

22.          Expenses.

 

(a)           Subordinated Lender agrees upon demand to pay to Lender the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel and of any experts or agents, which Lender may incur in connection with the (i) exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of Lender against Subordinated Lender hereunder to the extent that Lender is the prevailing party in any dispute with respect thereto or (ii) failure by Subordinated Lender to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.

 

(b)           Lender agrees upon demand to pay to Subordinated Lender the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel and of any experts or agents, which Subordinated Lender may incur in connection with the (i) exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of Subordinated Lender against Lender hereunder to the extent that Subordinated Lender is the prevailing party in any dispute with respect thereto or (ii) failure by Lender to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.

 

23.          Injunction. Lender and Subordinated Lender each acknowledge (and waive any defense based on a claim) that monetary damages are not an adequate remedy to redress a breach by the other hereunder and that a breach by either Lender or Subordinated Lender hereunder would cause irreparable harm to the other. Accordingly, Lender and Subordinated Lender agree that upon a breach of this Agreement by the other, the remedies of

    Exhibit TT-14

     

    
injunction, declaratory judgment and specific performance shall be available to such non breaching party.

 

24.          Each of Lender and Subordinated Lender acknowledges that the Loan, the Loan Documents, the Subordinated Loan and the Subordinated Loan Documents are distinct, separate transactions and loans, separate and apart from each other. Each of Lender and Subordinated Lender agrees that the other shall be treated as a separate lender with a distinct and separate loan.

 

25.          Waiver of Jury Trial. LENDER AND SUBORDINATED LENDER EACH EXPRESSLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY AND EVERY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY.

 

26.          Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and benefit both Lender and Subordinated Lender and their respective permitted successors and assigns. Lender shall have the right to record this Agreement.

 

27.          Governing Law. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

 

28.          Amendments. No provision of this Agreement shall be waived, amended or supplemented except by written agreement of the party charges with such waiver, amendment or supplement.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the date first above written.

EXHIBIT 4.15

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK OF HEALTHPEAK PROPERTIES, INC.
References to “we,” “us” and “our” in this section refer to Healthpeak Properties, Inc.
        The following description summarizes the material provisions of the common stock and preferred stock we may offer, as well as certain provisions of Maryland law and of our charter, as amended, which we refer to as our charter, and our amended and restated bylaws, which we refer to as our bylaws. These descriptions are not complete and are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, our charter and our bylaws and applicable provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law. For a complete description, we refer you to the Maryland General Corporation Law, our charter and our bylaws. Copies of our charter and bylaws are included as exhibits to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.
        Our authorized capital stock consists of 750,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share, and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $1.00 per share.
Common Stock
        As of December 31, 2019, there were 505,221,643 shares of common stock outstanding. All shares of common stock participate equally in dividends payable to holders of common stock, when, as and if authorized by our board and declared by us, and in net assets available for distribution to holders of common stock on liquidation, dissolution, or winding up. Each outstanding share of common stock entitles the holder to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders. Holders of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors.
        All issued and outstanding shares of common stock are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. Holders of common stock do not have preference, conversion, exchange or preemptive rights. The common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE Symbol: PEAK).
Preferred Stock
        As of December 31, 2019, we had no shares of preferred stock outstanding. Under our charter, our board is authorized without further stockholder action to establish and issue, from time to time, up to 50,000,000 shares of our preferred stock, in one or more series. Our board may grant the holders of preferred stock of any series preferences, powers and rights-voting or otherwise-senior to those of holders of shares of our common stock. Our board can authorize the issuance of shares of preferred stock with terms and conditions that could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control transaction that might involve a premium price for holders of shares of our common stock or otherwise be in their best interest. All shares of preferred stock will, when issued in exchange for the consideration therefor, be fully paid and nonassessable and will have no preemptive rights. The Maryland General Corporation Law and our charter require our board to determine the terms and conditions of any series of preferred stock, including:
		
	•
	the number of shares constituting such series and the distinctive designation thereof;

		
	•
	the voting rights, if any, of such series;

		
	•
	the rate of dividends payable on such series, the time or times when dividends will be payable, the preference to, or any relation to, the payment of dividends to any other class or series of stock and whether the dividends will be cumulative or noncumulative;

		
	•
	whether there shall be a sinking or similar fund for the purchase of shares of such series and, if so, the terms and provisions that shall govern such fund;

		
	•
	the rights of the holders of shares of such series upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up;

		
	•
	the rights, if any, of holders of shares of such series to convert such shares into, or to exchange such shares for, shares of any other class or classes or any other series of the same or of any other class or classes of our stock or any other securities, the price or prices or rate or rates of exchange, with such adjustments as shall be provided, at which such shares shall be convertible or exchangeable, whether such rights of conversion or exchange shall be exercisable at the option of the holder of the shares or upon the happening of a specified event and any other terms or conditions of such conversion or exchange;

		
	•
	if the shares are redeemable, the prices at which, and the terms and conditions on which, the shares of such series may be redeemed; and

		
	•
	any other preferences, powers and relative participating, optional or other special rights and qualifications, limitations or restrictions of shares of such series.

Transfer and Ownership Restrictions Relating to Our Common Stock
        Our charter contains restrictions on the ownership and transfer of our common stock that are intended to assist us in complying with the requirements to continue to qualify as a real estate investment trust, or REIT.
        Subject to limited exceptions, no person or entity may own, or be deemed to own by virtue of the applicable constructive ownership provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Internal Revenue Code, more than 9.8% (by number or value of shares, whichever is more restrictive) of the outstanding shares of our common stock. Our board may, but is in no event required to, waive the applicable ownership limit with respect to a particular stockholder if it determines that such ownership will not jeopardize our status as a REIT and our board otherwise decides such action would be in our best interests.
        These charter provisions further prohibit:
		
	•
	any person from actually or constructively owning shares of our stock that would result in our being “closely held” under Section 856(h) of the Internal Revenue Code or otherwise cause us to fail to qualify as a real estate investment trust (including but not limited to ownership that would result in us owning, actually or constructively, an interest in a tenant as described in Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code if the income derived by us, either directly or indirectly, from such tenant would cause us to fail to satisfy any of the gross income requirements of Section 856(c) of the Internal Revenue Code); and

		
	•
	any person from transferring shares of our capital stock if such transfer would result in shares of our stock being beneficially owned by fewer than 100 persons (determined without reference to any rules of attribution).

        Any person who acquires or attempts or intends to acquire actual or constructive ownership of shares of our stock that will or may violate any of these restrictions on ownership and transfer is required to give notice immediately to us and provide us with such other information as we may request in order to determine the effect of the transfer on our qualification as a REIT. Under our charter, if any purported transfer of our stock or any other event would otherwise result in any person violating the applicable ownership limit or such other limit as permitted by our board, then any such purported transfer is void and of no force or effect with respect to the purported transferee as to that number of shares of our stock in excess of the ownership limit or such other limit, and the transferee will acquire no right or interest in such excess shares. Any excess shares described above are transferred automatically, by operation of law, to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a qualified charitable organization selected by us. Such automatic transfer will be deemed to be effective as of the close of business on the business day prior to the date of such violative transfer. Within 20 days of receiving notice from us of the transfer of shares to the trust, the trustee of the trust is required to sell the excess shares to a person or entity who could own the shares without violating the applicable ownership limit, or such other limit as permitted by our board, and distribute to the prohibited transferee an amount equal to the lesser of the price paid by the prohibited transferee for the excess shares or the sales proceeds received by the trust for the excess shares. Any proceeds in excess of the amount distributable to the prohibited transferee are distributed to the beneficiary of the trust. Prior to a sale of any such excess shares by the trust, the trustee is entitled to receive, in trust for the beneficiary, all dividends and other distributions paid by us with respect to such excess shares, and also is entitled to exercise all voting rights with respect to such excess shares.
        Subject to Maryland law, effective as of the date that such shares have been transferred to the trust, the trustee will have the authority, at the trustee's sole discretion:
		
	•
	to rescind as void any vote cast by a prohibited transferee prior to the discovery by us that the shares have been transferred to the trust; or

		
	•
	to recast such vote in accordance with the desires of the trustee acting for the benefit of the beneficiary of the trust.

        However, if we have already taken irreversible corporate action, then the trustee will not have the authority to rescind and recast such vote. Any dividend or other distribution paid to the prohibited transferee, prior to the discovery by us that such shares had been automatically transferred to a trust as described above, are required to be repaid to the trustee upon demand for distribution to the beneficiary of the trust. In the event that the transfer to the trust as described above is not automatically effective, for any reason, to prevent violation of the ownership limit or such other limit as permitted by our board, then our charter provides that the transfer of the excess shares is void ab initio.
        In addition, shares of common stock held in the trust shall be deemed to have been offered for sale to us, or our designee, at a price per share equal to the lesser of:
		
	•
	the price per share in the transaction that resulted in such transfer to the trust or, in the case of a devise or gift, the market price at the time of such devise or gift; and

		
	•
	the market price on the date we, or our designee, accepted the offer.

        We will have the right to accept the offer until the trustee has sold the shares of stock held in the trust. Upon a sale to us, the interest of the beneficiary in the shares sold will terminate and the trustee will distribute the net proceeds of the sale to the prohibited transferee.
        If any purported transfer of shares of common stock would cause us to be beneficially owned by fewer than 100 persons, such transfer will be null and void ab initio in its entirety and the intended transferee will acquire no rights to the stock.
        All certificates representing shares of common stock bear a legend referring to the restrictions described above. The foregoing ownership limitations could delay, defer or prevent a transaction or a change in control of us that might involve a premium price for the common stock or otherwise be in the best interest of our stockholders.
        In addition, if our board shall, at any time and in good faith, be of the opinion that direct or indirect ownership of at least 9.9% of the voting shares of capital stock has or may become concentrated in the hands of one beneficial owner, it shall have the power:
		
	•
	by lot or other means deemed equitable by it to call for the purchase from any stockholder of a number of voting shares sufficient, in the opinion of our board, to maintain or bring the direct or indirect ownership of voting shares of capital stock of the beneficial owner to a level of no more than 9.9% of our outstanding voting shares; and

		
	•
	to refuse to transfer or issue voting shares of capital stock to any person whose acquisition of such voting shares would, in the opinion of the board, result in the direct or indirect ownership by that person of more than 9.9% of the outstanding voting shares of our capital stock.

        If our board fails to grant an exemption from this 9.9% ownership limitation, then the transfer of shares, options, warrants, or other securities convertible into voting shares that would create a beneficial owner of more than 9.9% of the outstanding voting shares shall be deemed void ab initio, and the intended transferee shall be deemed never to have had an interest in the transferred securities. The purchase price for any voting shares of capital stock so redeemed shall be equal to the fair market value of the shares reflected in the closing sales price for the shares, if then listed on a national securities exchange, or the average of the closing sales prices for the shares if then listed on more than one national securities exchange, or if the shares are not then listed on a national securities exchange, the latest bid quotation for the shares if then traded over-the-counter, on the last business day immediately preceding the day on which we send notices of such acquisitions, or, if no such closing sales prices or quotations are available, then the purchase price shall be equal to the net asset value of such stock as determined by the board in accordance with the provisions of applicable law. From and after the date fixed for purchase by the board, the holder of any shares so called for purchase shall cease to be entitled to distributions, voting rights and other benefits with respect to such shares, except the right to payment of the purchase price for the shares.
Business Combination Provisions
        Our charter requires that, except in some circumstances, “business combinations” between us and a beneficial holder of 10% or more of our outstanding voting stock, which we refer to as a Related Person, be approved by the affirmative vote of at least 90% of our outstanding voting shares. A “business combination” is defined in our charter as:
		
	•
	any merger or consolidation with or into a Related Person;

		
	•
	any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition, including without limitation a mortgage or any other security device, of all or any “Substantial Part” (as defined below) of our assets, including any voting securities of a subsidiary, to a Related Person;

		
	•
	any merger or consolidation of a Related Person with or into us;

		
	•
	any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of all or any Substantial Part of the assets of a Related Person to us;

		
	•
	the issuance of any of our securities, other than by way of pro rata distribution to all stockholders, to a Related Person; and

		
	•
	any agreement, contract or other arrangement providing for any of the transactions described above.

        The term “Substantial Part” means more than 10% of the book value of our total assets as of the end of our most recent fiscal year ending prior to the time the determination is being made.
        In addition to the restrictions on business combinations contained in our charter, Maryland law also contains restrictions on business combinations. See “Certain Provisions of Maryland Law and Healthpeak Properties, Inc.’s Charter and Bylaws-Business Combinations” below.

        The foregoing provisions may have the effect of discouraging unilateral tender offers or other takeover proposals which stockholders might deem to be in their interests or in which they might receive a substantial premium. Our board's authority to issue and establish the terms of currently authorized preferred stock, without stockholder approval, may also have the effect of discouraging takeover attempts. See “-Preferred Stock” above.
        The foregoing provisions could also have the effect of insulating current management against the possibility of removal and could, by possibly reducing temporary fluctuations in market price caused by accumulations of shares of our common stock, deprive stockholders of opportunities to sell at a temporarily higher market price. Our board believes, however, that inclusion of the business combination provisions in our charter may help assure fair treatment of our stockholders and preserve our assets.
Transfer and Ownership Restrictions Relating to Our Preferred Stock
        Our charter may contain restrictions on the ownership and transfer of preferred stock that are intended to assist us in complying with the requirements to maintain our qualification as a REIT. Subject to limited exceptions, unless otherwise provided for in the terms of a particular series of preferred stock, no person or entity may own, or be deemed to own by virtue of the applicable constructive ownership provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, more than 9.8% (by number or value of shares, whichever is more restrictive) of the outstanding shares of such series of preferred stock. Our board may, but in no event will be required to, waive the applicable ownership limit with respect to a particular stockholder if it determines that such ownership will not jeopardize our qualification as a REIT and our board otherwise decides such action would be in our best interests. The mechanics for the ownership limits on our preferred stock will be similar to the mechanics related to our common stock, as described in “Transfer and Ownership Restrictions Relating to Our Common Stock” above, unless otherwise provided in the terms of a particular series of preferred stock.
Certain Provisions of Maryland Law and of Healthpeak Properties, Inc.’s Charter and Bylaws
Election of Directors
        Our bylaws provide that our board may establish, increase or decrease the number of directors, provided that the number thereof shall never be less than three nor more than eleven. Our bylaws also provide for the election of directors, in uncontested elections, by a majority of the votes cast. In contested elections, the election of directors shall be by a plurality of the votes cast. Holders of common stock have no right to cumulative voting for the election of directors. Consequently, at each annual meeting of stockholders, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock can elect all of our directors. A vacancy resulting from an increase in the number of directors may be filled by a majority vote of the entire board or by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of our shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors. Other vacancies may be filled by the vote of a majority of the remaining directors.
Removal of Directors
        Our charter provides that a director of ours may be removed by the affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds of the outstanding shares of our voting stock or by a unanimous vote of all other directors. Our stockholders may elect a successor to fill any vacancy which results from the removal of a director.
Business Combinations
        Under Maryland law, “business combinations” between a Maryland corporation and an interested stockholder or an affiliate of an interested stockholder are prohibited for five years after the most recent date on which the interested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder. These business combinations include a merger, consolidation, share exchange, or, in circumstances specified in the statute, an asset transfer or issuance or reclassification of equity securities. An interested stockholder is defined as:
		
	•
	any person who beneficially owns ten percent or more of the voting power of the corporation's shares; or

		
	•
	an affiliate of the corporation who, at any time within the two-year period prior to the date in question, was the beneficial owner of ten percent or more of the voting power of the then outstanding voting stock of the corporation.

        After the five-year prohibition, any business combination between the Maryland corporation and an interested stockholder generally must be recommended by the board of the corporation and approved by the affirmative vote of at least:
		
	•
	80% of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of outstanding shares of voting stock of the corporation; and

		
	•
	two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of voting stock of the corporation other than shares held by the interested stockholder with whom or with whose affiliate the business combination is to be effected or which are held by an affiliate or associate of the interested stockholder.

        These super-majority vote requirements do not apply if the corporation's common stockholders receive a minimum price, as defined under Maryland law, for their shares in the form of cash or other consideration in the same form as previously paid by the interested stockholder for its shares. None of these provisions of Maryland law will apply, however, to business combinations that are approved or exempted by the board of the corporation prior to the time that the interested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder.
        In addition to the restrictions on business combinations provided under Maryland law, our charter also contains restrictions on business combinations. See “Business Combination Provisions” above.
Control Share Acquisitions
        Maryland law provides that holders of “control shares” of a Maryland corporation acquired in a “control share acquisition” have no voting rights with respect to the control shares except to the extent approved by a vote of two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. Shares of stock owned by the acquiror, by officers or by directors who are employees of the corporation are excluded from shares entitled to vote on the matter. “Control shares” are voting shares of stock which, if aggregated with all other shares of stock owned by the acquiror or shares of stock for which the acquiror is able to exercise or direct the exercise of voting power except solely by virtue of a revocable proxy, would entitle the acquiror to exercise voting power in electing directors within one of the following ranges of voting power:
		
	•
	one-tenth or more but less than one-third;

		
	•
	one-third or more but less than a majority; or

		
	•
	a majority or more of all voting power.

        Control shares do not include shares the acquiring person is then entitled to vote as a result of having previously obtained stockholder approval. Except as otherwise specified in the statute, a “control share acquisition” means the acquisition of control shares.
        Once a person who has made or proposes to make a control share acquisition has undertaken to pay expenses and satisfied other conditions, the person may compel the board to call a special meeting of stockholders to be held within 50 days of demand to consider the voting rights of the shares. If no request for a meeting is made, the corporation may itself present the question at any stockholders meeting.
        If voting rights are not approved at the meeting or if the acquiring person does not deliver an acquiring person statement as required by the statute, then the corporation may be able to redeem any or all of the control shares for fair value, except for control shares for which voting rights previously have been approved. The right of the corporation to redeem control shares is subject to certain conditions and limitations. Fair value is determined without regard to the absence of voting rights for control shares, as of the date of the last control share acquisition by the acquiror or of any meeting of stockholders at which the voting rights of control shares are considered and not approved. If voting rights for control shares are approved at a stockholders meeting and the acquiror becomes entitled to vote a majority of the shares entitled to vote, all other stockholders may exercise appraisal rights. The fair value of the shares as determined for purposes of these appraisal rights may not be less than the highest price per share paid by the acquiror in the control share acquisition. Some of the limitations and restrictions otherwise applicable to the exercise of dissenters' rights do not apply in the context of a control share acquisition.
        The control share acquisition statute does not apply to shares acquired in a merger, consolidation or share exchange if the corporation is a party to the transaction or to acquisitions approved or exempted by the charter or bylaws of the corporation. Our bylaws contain a provision exempting acquisitions of shares of our stock from the control share acquisition statute. However, our board may amend our bylaws in the future to repeal or modify this exemption, in which case any control shares of our company acquired in a control share acquisition will be subject to the control share acquisition statute.
Unsolicited Takeovers
        Under Maryland law, a Maryland corporation with a class of equity securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act, and at least three independent directors may elect to be subject to certain statutory provisions relating to unsolicited takeovers which, among other things, would automatically classify the board into three classes with staggered terms of three years each and vest in the board the exclusive right to determine the number of directors and the exclusive right, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors, to fill vacancies on the board, even if the remaining directors do not constitute a quorum. These statutory provisions relating to unsolicited takeovers also provide that any director elected to fill a vacancy shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors in which the vacancy occurred, rather than the next annual meeting of directors as would otherwise be the case, and until his successor is elected and qualified.
        Our board of directors has adopted a resolution prohibiting us from electing to be subject to the provisions of the unsolicited takeover statute relating to the classification of the board unless such election is first approved by our stockholders 

by the affirmative vote of a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. An election to be subject to any or all of the other foregoing statutory provisions may be made in our charter or bylaws, or by resolution of our board without stockholder approval. Any such statutory provision to which we elect to be subject will apply even if other provisions of Maryland law or our charter or bylaws provide to the contrary. Neither our charter nor our bylaws provides that we are subject to any of the foregoing statutory provisions relating to unsolicited takeovers. However, our board could adopt a resolution, without stockholder approval, to elect to become subject to some or all of these statutory provisions except the statutory provisions relating to the classification of the board.
        If we made an election, upon stockholder approval of such election, to be subject to the statutory provisions relating to the classification of the board and our board were divided into three classes with staggered terms of office of three years each, the classification and staggered terms of office of our directors would make it more difficult for a third party to gain control of our board since at least two annual meetings of stockholders, instead of one, generally would be required to effect a change in the majority of our board.
Amendments to the Charter
        Provisions of our charter on business combinations, the number of directors and certain ownership restrictions may be amended only if approved by our board and by our stockholders by the affirmative vote of two-thirds of all of the votes entitled to be cast by our stockholders on the matter. Other amendments to our charter require approval by our board and approval by our stockholders by the affirmative vote of a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast by our stockholders on the matter.
Amendment to the Bylaws
        Provisions of our bylaws on the number of directors, in certain circumstances, and the vote required to amend the bylaws may be amended only by unanimous vote of the board or by the affirmative vote of not less than 90% of all of the votes entitled to be cast by our stockholders on the matter. Other amendments to our bylaws require the affirmative vote of a majority of the entire board or the affirmative vote of a majority of all of the votes entitled to be cast by our stockholders on the matter.
Dissolution of Healthpeak Properties, Inc.
        Our dissolution must be approved by our board by a majority vote of the entire board and by our stockholders by the affirmative vote of a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast by our stockholders on the matter.
Advance Notice of Director Nominations and New Business; Procedures of Special Meetings Requested by Stockholders
        Our bylaws provide that nominations of persons for election to the board and the proposal of business to be considered by stockholders at the annual or special meeting of stockholders may be made only:
		
	•
	pursuant to our notice of the meeting;

		
	•
	by or at the direction of the board; or

		
	•
	by a stockholder who was a stockholder at the time the notice of meeting was given and is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has complied with the advance notice procedures, including the minimum time period, described in the bylaws.

        Our bylaws also provide that only the business specified in our notice of meeting may be brought before a special meeting of stockholders. Our bylaws provide that our stockholders have the right to call a special meeting only upon the written request of the stockholders holding in the aggregate not less than 50% of the outstanding shares entitled to vote on the business proposed to be transacted at such meeting.
Proxy Access
        Our bylaws permit any stockholder or group of up to 25 stockholders (counting as one stockholder, for purposes of the aggregation limit, any two or more funds that are part of the same qualifying fund group, as such term is defined in our bylaws) who have maintained continuous qualifying ownership of 3% or more of our outstanding common stock for at least the previous three years to include up to a specified number of director nominees in our proxy materials for an annual meeting of stockholders. A nominating stockholder is considered to own only the shares for which the stockholder possesses the full voting and investment rights and the full economic interest (including the opportunity for profit and risk of loss). Under this provision, borrowed or hedged shares do not count as “owned” shares. Furthermore, to the extent not otherwise excluded pursuant to this definition of ownership, a nominating stockholder's “short position” as defined in Rule 14e-4 under the Exchange Act is deducted from the shares otherwise “owned.” Loaned shares are counted toward the ownership requirement, provided that certain recall requirements described in our bylaws are met. If a group of stockholders is aggregating its shareholdings in order to meet the 3% ownership requirement, the ownership of the group will be determined by aggregating the lowest number of shares continuously owned by each member during the three-year holding period.

        The maximum number of stockholder nominees permitted under the proxy access provisions of our bylaws shall not exceed the greater of (i) two or (ii) 20% of the directors in office as of the last day a notice of nomination may be timely received. If the 20% calculation does not result in a whole number, the maximum number of stockholder nominees is the closest whole number below 20%. If one or more vacancies occurs for any reason after the nomination deadline and our board decides to reduce the size of our board in connection therewith, the 20% calculation will be applied to the reduced size of the board, with the potential result that a stockholder nominee may be disqualified. Stockholder-nominated candidates whose nomination is withdrawn or whom the board determines to include in our proxy materials as board-nominated candidates will be counted against the 20% maximum. In addition, any director in office as of the nomination deadline who was included in our proxy materials as a stockholder nominee for either of the two preceding annual meetings and whom our board decides to renominate for election to the board also will be counted against the 20% maximum.
        Notice of a nomination pursuant to the proxy access provisions of our bylaws must be received no earlier than 150 days and no later than 120 days before the anniversary of the date that we distributed our proxy statement for the previous year's annual meeting of stockholders. The proxy access provisions of our bylaws require certain disclosure, representations and agreements to be provided or made by nominating stockholders and contain certain other procedural provisions.
        A stockholder nominee will not be eligible for inclusion in our proxy materials if any stockholder has nominated a person pursuant to the advance notice provision of our bylaws, if the nominee would not be independent, if the nominee's election would cause us to violate our bylaws, our charter or any applicable listing standards, laws, rules or regulations, if the nominee is or has been an officer or director of a competitor, as defined in Section 8 of the Clayton Antitrust Act of 1914, within the past three years, or if the nominee or the stockholder who nominated him or her has provided false and misleading information to us or otherwise breached any of its or their obligations, representations or agreements under the proxy access provisions of our bylaws. Stockholder nominees who are included in our proxy materials but subsequently withdraw from or become ineligible or unavailable for election at the meeting or do not receive at least 10% of the votes cast in the election will be ineligible for nomination under the proxy access provisions of our bylaws for the next two annual meetings. A nomination made under the proxy access provisions of our bylaws will be disregarded at the annual meeting under certain circumstances described in our bylaws.
Anti-Takeover Effect of Provisions of Maryland Law and of Our Charter and Bylaws
        The provisions in our charter on removal of directors and business combinations, the business combinations and control share acquisition provisions of Maryland law, the unsolicited takeover provisions of Maryland law (if we elect to become subject to such provisions) and the provisions of our bylaws relating to advance notice, proxy access and stockholder-requested special meetings may delay, deter or prevent a change of control or other transaction in which holders of some, or a majority, of the common stock might receive a premium for their common stock over the then prevailing market price or which such holders might believe to be otherwise in their best interests.
Limitation of Liability and Indemnification
        Maryland law permits a Maryland corporation to include in its charter a provision limiting the liability of its directors and officers to the corporation and its stockholders for money damages. However, a Maryland corporation may not limit liability resulting from actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services. Also, liability resulting from active and deliberate dishonesty may not be eliminated if a final judgment establishes that the dishonesty is material to the cause of action. Our charter contains a provision which limits the liability of directors and officers for money damages to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law. This provision does not limit our right or that of our stockholders to obtain equitable relief, such as an injunction or rescission.
        Our bylaws obligate us, to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law, to indemnify and, without requiring a preliminary determination as to the ultimate entitlement to indemnification, to pay or reimburse reasonable expenses before final disposition of a proceeding to:
		
	•
	any present or former director or officer who is made a party to the proceeding by reason of his service in that capacity; or

		
	•
	any individual who, while one of our directors or officers and at our request, serves or has served another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or any other enterprise as a director, officer, partner or trustee of such corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan, or other enterprise and who is made a party to the proceeding by reason of his service in that capacity.

        The bylaws authorize us, with the approval of our board, to provide indemnification and advancement of expenses to our agents and employees. We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers.
        Unless limited by a corporation's charter, Maryland law requires a corporation to indemnify a director or officer who has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which he is made a party by reason of his 

service in that capacity, or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter in the proceeding. Our charter does not alter this requirement.
        Maryland law permits a corporation to indemnify its present and former directors and officers, among others, against:
		
	•
	judgments;

		
	•
	penalties;

		
	•
	fines;

		
	•
	settlements; and

		
	•
	reasonable expenses actually incurred by them in connection with any proceeding to which they may be made a party by reason of their service in those or other capacities.

        Maryland law does not permit a corporation to indemnify its present and former directors and officers if it is established that:
		
	•
	the act or omission of the director or officer was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and was committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty;

		
	•
	the director or officer actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services; or

		
	•
	in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful.

        Under Maryland law, a Maryland corporation generally may not indemnify for an adverse judgment in a suit by or in the right of the corporation. Also, a Maryland corporation generally may not indemnify for a judgment of liability on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received. In either of these cases, a Maryland corporation may indemnify for expenses only if a court so orders.
        Maryland law permits a corporation to advance reasonable expenses to a director or officer. First, however, the corporation must receive a written affirmation by the director or officer of his good faith belief that he has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the corporation. The corporation must also receive a written undertaking, either by the director or officer or on his behalf, to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by the corporation if it shall ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct was not met. The termination of any proceeding by conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, or an entry of any order of probation prior to judgment, creates a rebuttable presumption that the director or officer did not meet the requisite standard of conduct required for indemnification to be permitted.
        It is the position of the Securities and Exchange Commission that indemnification of directors and officers for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, is against public policy and is unenforceable pursuant to Section 14 of the Securities Act.
