Appraisal Rights Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares (“Appraisal Shares”) of the Company Common Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by any Person who is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal of such Appraisal Shares pursuant to, and who complies in all respects with, Section 262 of the DGCL (“Section 262”) shall not be converted into the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 3.08(c), but instead, at the Effective Time, the Appraisal Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of any such Appraisal Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive payment of the fair value of such Appraisal Shares in accordance with Section 262; provided that if any such holder shall fail to perfect or otherwise shall waive, withdraw or lose the right to appraisal under Section 262 with respect to such Appraisal Shares or a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262, then the right of such holder to receive the fair value of such holder’s Appraisal Shares shall cease and such Appraisal Shares shall be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into, and to have become exchangeable solely for, the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 3.08(c), less any applicable tax withholding. The Company shall give prompt written notice to Parent of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of any shares of the Company Common Stock, and Parent shall have the right to participate in, and direct all negotiations and Proceedings with respect to such demands. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands, or agree to do any of the foregoing. Prior to the Offer Closing Time, Parent shall not, except with the prior written consent of the Company, require the Company to make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or offer to settle or settle any such demands.
Appraisal Reductions (a) The Special Servicer shall: (i) upon the occurrence of an Appraisal Reduction Event, promptly notify the Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and, during any CCR Control Period and any CCR Consultation Period, the Controlling Class Representative of such occurrence of an Appraisal Reduction Event; (ii) within 30 days after the occurrence of such Appraisal Reduction Event, order, and use efforts consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, to obtain an independent Appraisal of the Property unless an Appraisal was performed within 9 months prior to the Appraisal Reduction Event and the Special Servicer is not aware of any material change in the market or condition or value of the Property since the date of such Appraisal (in which case, such Appraisal may be used by the Special Servicer); and (iii) determine (no later than the first Distribution Date on or following either (x) the receipt of such Appraisal (in final form) (provided, that if such new Appraisal was received less than five (5) Business Days prior to such Distribution Date, it will determine no later than the second Distribution Date following the receipt of such Appraisal) or (y) the determination to use any existing Appraisals, as applicable) on the basis of the applicable Appraisals, and receipt of information reasonably requested by the Special Servicer from the Servicer in the Servicer’s possession and reasonably necessary to calculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount, whether there exists any Appraisal Reduction Amount and, if an Appraisal Reduction Amount exists, give notice thereof to the Servicer, the Trustee, the Companion Loan Holders (or, in the case of a Companion Loan that is part of an Other Securitization Trust, the master servicer, special servicer and trustee with respect to such Other Securitization Trust) and the Certificate Administrator. The cost of obtaining any such Appraisal (or updated Appraisal) shall be paid by the Servicer as a Property Protection Advance or an Administrative Advance unless it would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance and, in such case, as an expense of the Trust. Updates of such Appraisals shall be obtained by the Special Servicer every nine (9) months for so long as an Appraisal Reduction Event exists and shall be paid for by the Servicer as a Property Protection Advance or an Administrative Advance (or paid for by the Trust if the Servicer or the Special Servicer determines that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance), and any Appraisal Reduction Amount shall be adjusted accordingly and, if required in accordance with any such adjustment, each Class of Principal Balance Certificates and the Uncertificated VRR Interest with a Certificate Balance or Uncertificated VRR Interest Balance, as applicable, that has been notionally reduced as a result of such Appraisal Reduction Amount shall have its related Certificate Balance or Combined VRR Interest Balance, as applicable, notionally restored (or reduced if applicable) to the extent required by such adjustment of the Appraisal Reduction Amount, and there shall be a redetermination of whether a CCR Control Period, a CCR Consultation Period or a CCR Consultation Termination Period is then in effect. The Servicer shall provide by electronic means reasonably acceptable to the Special Servicer and the Servicer the information in its possession or control as reasonably requested in writing by the Special Servicer within two (2) Business Days of any request to permit the Special Servicer to calculate or to recalculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount. The Mortgage Loan will be treated as a single loan for purposes of calculating the Appraisal Reduction Amount. Appraisal Reduction Amounts with respect to the Mortgage Loan shall be allocated first to the Junior Trust Notes on a pro rata and pari passu basis (in accordance with the relative principal balance of such Junior Trust Notes) up to the aggregate principal balance of the Junior Trust Notes, with any remainder being allocated to the Senior Notes on a pro rata and pari passu basis (in accordance with the relative principal balance of such Senior Notes). Any such Appraisal obtained under this Section 3.7 shall be delivered by the Special Servicer to the Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the 17g-5 Information Provider, any applicable Consenting Party and Consulting Party in electronic format and the Certificate Administrator shall make such Appraisal available to Non-Restricted Privileged Persons pursuant to Section 8.14(b), and the 17g-5 Information Provider shall post such Appraisal on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website.
(b) While an Appraisal Reduction Amount exists with respect to the Trust Loan, (i) the amount of any Monthly Interest Payment Advances shall be reduced as provided in Section 3.23(a) and (ii) the existence thereof shall be taken into account for purposes of determining (x) the Voting Rights of certain Classes of Certificates as provided in Section 3.7(c) and (y) whether a CCR Control Period is or is not then in effect as provided in the definition thereof.
(c) The Certificate Balance of each Class of the Principal Balance Certificates (other than the Class A Certificates) shall be notionally reduced (solely for purposes of determining (x) to the extent expressly set forth herein, the Voting Rights of the related Classes and (y) whether a CCR Control Period is or is not then in effect) on any Distribution Date to the extent of any Appraisal Reduction Amount allocated to such Class on such Distribution Date. On each Distribution Date, the VRR Percentage of any Appraisal Reduction Amount shall be applied to notionally reduce (to not less than zero) the Combined VRR Interest Balance of the Combined VRR Interest, which amount shall, in turn, be applied to notionally reduce (to not less than zero) the Certificate Balance of the Class VRR Certificates and the Uncertificated VRR Interest Balance of the Uncertificated VRR Interest, pro rata, based on the respective then-outstanding amounts of such Certificate Balance and Uncertificated VRR Interest Balance. On each Distribution Date, the Non-Retained Percentage of any Appraisal Reduction Amount shall be applied to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances of the Class B Certificates; provided that the Certificate Balance in respect of such Class may not be notionally reduced below zero. Appraisal Reduction Amounts shall not be applied to notionally reduce the Certificate Balance of the Class A Certificates.
(d) With respect to any Appraisal used for purposes of determining an Appraisal Reduction Amount, the appraised value of the Property or Foreclosed Property, as applicable, will be determined on an “as is” basis.
(e) If (i) an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred, (ii) either (A) no Appraisal or updates of an Appraisal have been obtained or conducted with respect to the Property or Foreclosed Property, as the case may be, during the 12-month period prior to the date of such Appraisal Reduction Event or (B) a material change in the circumstances surrounding the Property or Foreclosed Property, as the case may be, has occurred since the date of the most recent Appraisal that would materially adversely affect the value of the Property or Foreclosed Property, as the case may be, and (iii) no new Appraisal has been obtained or conducted for each such Property or Foreclosed Property, as the case may be, referred to in the immediately preceding clause (ii) within 60 days after the Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred, then (x) until a new Appraisal is obtained for the Property or Foreclosed Property, as the case may be, the appraised value of the Property or Foreclosed Property, as the case may be, for purposes of determining the Appraisal Reduction Amount shall be deemed to equal 75% of the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (the “Assumed Appraised Value”) , and (y) upon receipt or performance of the new Appraisal by the Special Servicer with respect to the Property or Foreclosed Property, as the case may be, the Appraisal Reduction Amount shall be recalculated in accordance with the definition of “Appraisal Reduction Amount” taking such Appraisal into account.
(f) The Special Servicer shall consult with the Controlling Class Representative (if it is a Consenting Party) in respect of the determination of any Appraisal Reduction Amount. The determination by the Special Servicer following such consultation will be binding until such time as a new determination is made based on a new Appraisal obtained as a result of the exercise of the rights of the Controlling Class Representative discussed below or otherwise in accordance with this Agreement. The Class B Certificates, if and when the Certificate Balance thereof is reduced to less than 25% of its initial Certificate Balance (taking into account the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amount to notionally reduce the Certificate Balance of such Class) and provided that a CCR Consultation Termination Event does not exist, is referred to as an “Appraisal-Reduced Class”. The holders of the majority (by Certificate Balance) of an Appraisal-Reduced Class (such holders, the “Requesting Holders”) shall have the right, at their sole expense, to require the Special Servicer to order a second Appraisal in respect of the Property in connection with the related Appraisal Reduction Event that has occurred with respect to the Mortgage Loan, and in connection therewith the Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to cause each such second Appraisal to be delivered within 60 days from receipt of the Requesting Holders’ written request and shall cause such second Appraisal to be prepared by an Independent Appraiser. Upon receipt of each such second Appraisal, the Special Servicer shall be required to recalculate such Appraisal Reduction Amount based upon such second Appraisal(s). If required by any such recalculation, a CCR Control Period may be reinstated.
(g) In addition, if subsequent to the Class B Certificates becoming an Appraisal-Reduced Class there is a material change with respect to the Property, the Requesting Holders of such Class will have the right to request, in writing, that the Special Servicer obtain an additional Appraisal, which request shall set forth their belief of what constitutes a material change to such Property (including any related documentation). For the avoidance of doubt, only one such additional Appraisal of any particular Property, and only 4 such additional Appraisals of the Property, may be requested by the holders of an Appraisal-Reduced Class within the same two-year period. The costs of obtaining such additional Appraisal shall be paid by the Requesting Holders. Subject to the Special Servicer’s confirmation, determined in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that there has been a change with respect to the Property designated by the Requesting Holders for an additional Appraisal and such change was material, the Special Servicer shall order another Appraisal from an Independent Appraiser, the identity of which shall be determined by the Special Servicer in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices (provided that such Independent Appraiser may not be the same Independent Appraiser that provided the Appraisal in respect of which the Requesting Holders are requesting the Special Servicer to obtain an additional Appraisal), and the Special Servicer shall recalculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount based upon such additional Appraisal. If required by any such recalculation, a CCR Control Period shall be reinstated. In each case, Appraisals that are requested by any Appraisal-Reduced Class shall be in addition to any Appraisals that the Special Servicer may otherwise be required to obtain in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices upon the occurrence of a material change at the Property or that the Special Servicer is otherwise required or permitted to order under this Agreement without regard to any Appraisal requests made by any other party. Absent manifest error in the appraised value contained in an Appraisal (including a failure to reflect material adverse changes in circumstances affecting property valuations occurring since the date of such Appraisal), the Special Servicer shall not be permitted to adjust downward the appraised value of the Property contained in any Appraisal (provided such Appraisal satisfies customary standards for qualified appraisals in CMBS transactions) delivered to the Special Servicer (including any Appraisal obtained at the request of the Requesting Holders of an Appraisal-Reduced Class) in making an Appraisal Reduction Amount calculation, to the extent that such downward adjustment would cause the Class B Certificates to become an Appraisal-Reduced Class
(h) Upon becoming an Appraisal-Reduced Class and thereafter (including during any period that the Appraisal-Reduced Class is challenging the determination of the Appraisal Reduction Amount with a second Appraisal or otherwise presenting a new Appraisal as described above), the Holders of the Class B Certificates shall not exercise any rights of the Controlling Class solely applicable during a CCR Control Period, and the Controlling Class Representative shall not be a Consenting Party, until such time, if any, as such CCR Control Period is reinstated.
Inspections; Appraisals (a) Permit Agent, or its representatives or designees, from time to time, subject (except when a Default or Event of Default exists) to reasonable notice and normal business hours, to visit and inspect the Properties of any Obligor or Subsidiary, inspect, audit and make extracts from any Obligor’s or Subsidiary’s books and records, and discuss with its officers, employees, agents, advisors and independent accountants such Obligor’s or Subsidiary’s business, financial condition, assets, prospects and results of operations. Lenders may participate in any such visit or inspection, at their own expense. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any duty to any Obligor to make any inspection, nor to share any results of any inspection, appraisal or report with any Obligor. Obligors acknowledge that all inspections, appraisals and reports are prepared by Agent and Lenders for their purposes, and Obligors shall not be entitled to rely upon them.
(b) Reimburse Agent for all charges, costs and expenses of Agent in connection with (i) examinations of any Obligor’s books and records or any other financial or Collateral matters as Agent deems appropriate, up to three times per Loan Year; and (ii) appraisals of Inventory and Equipment up to one time per Loan Year; provided, however, that if an examination or appraisal is initiated during a Default or Event of Default, all charges, costs and expenses therefor shall be reimbursed by Borrowers without regard to such limits. Subject to and without limiting the foregoing, Obligors specifically agree to pay Agent’s then standard charges for each day that an employee of Agent or its Affiliates is engaged in any examination activities, and shall pay the standard charges of Agent’s internal appraisal group. (The current standard per diem charge for an employee of Agent or the third party currently utilized by Agent is $850 per day or part thereof.) This Section shall not be construed to limit Agent’s right to conduct examinations or to obtain appraisals at any time in its discretion, nor to use third parties for such purposes.
