In furtherance of such intention, the Certificate Administrator shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, act as agent, and is hereby appointed to act as agent, of each Trust REMIC and shall on behalf of each Trust REMIC: (i) prepare, timely deliver to the Trustee for execution (and the Trustee shall timely execute) and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, all required Tax Returns for each Trust REMIC, using a calendar year as the taxable year for each Trust REMIC when and as required by the REMIC Provisions and other applicable federal, state or local income tax laws; (ii) make an election, on behalf of each Trust REMIC, to be treated as a REMIC on IRS Form 1066 for its first taxable year ending December 31, 2016, in accordance with the REMIC Provisions; (iii) prepare and forward, or cause to be prepared and forwarded, to the Certificateholders (other than the Holders of any Excess Interest Certificates) and the IRS and applicable state and local tax authorities all information reports as and when required to be provided to them in accordance with the REMIC Provisions of the Code; (iv) if the filing or distribution of any documents of an administrative nature not addressed in clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 4.04(a) is then required by the REMIC Provisions in order to maintain the status of each Trust REMIC as a REMIC or is otherwise required by the Code, prepare, sign and file or distribute, or cause to be prepared and signed and filed or distributed, such documents with or to such Persons when and as required by the REMIC Provisions or the Code or comparable provisions of state and local law; (v) obtain a taxpayer identification number for the Upper-Tier REMIC and Lower-Tier REMIC on IRS Form SS-4, and, within thirty days of the Closing Date, furnish or cause to be furnished to the IRS, on IRS Form 8811 or as otherwise may be required by the Code, the name, title and address of the Person that the holders of the Certificates may contact for tax information relating thereto (and the Certificate Administrator shall act as the representative of each Trust REMIC for this purpose), together with such additional information as may be required by such IRS Form, and shall update such information at the time or times and in the manner required by the Code (and the Depositor agrees within 10 Business Days of the Closing Date to provide any information reasonably requested by the Master Servicer or the Certificate Administrator and necessary to make such filing); and (vi) maintain such records relating to each Trust REMIC as may be necessary to prepare the foregoing returns, schedules, statements or information, such records, for federal income tax purposes, to be maintained on a calendar year and on an accrual basis. The Holder of the largest Percentage Interest in the Class R Certificates shall be the tax matters person of each Trust REMIC pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.860F-4(d). If more than one Holder should hold an equal Percentage Interest in the Class R Certificates larger than that held by any other Holder, the first such Holder to have acquired such Class R Certificates shall be such tax matters person. The Certificate Administrator shall act as attorney-in-fact and agent for the tax matters person of each Trust REMIC, and each Holder of a Percentage Interest in the Class R Certificates, by acceptance thereof, is deemed to have consented to the Certificate Administrator’s appointment in such capacity and agrees to execute any documents required to give effect thereto, and any fees and expenses incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with any audit or administrative or judicial proceeding shall be paid by the Trust Fund. The Certificate Administrator shall make any elections allowed under the Code (i) to avoid the application of Section 6221 of the Code (or successor provision) to any Trust REMIC and (ii) to avoid payment by any Trust REMIC under Section 6225 of the Code of any tax, penalty, interest or other amount imposed under the Code that would otherwise be imposed on any holder of any residual interest of any Trust REMIC, past or present. Each Holder of a Percentage Interest in the Class R Certificates, by acceptance thereof, is deemed to agree to any such elections and to the Certificate Administrator’s acting as agent for any tax matters person or other representative of each Trust REMIC that can be designated under the Code. The Certificate Administrator shall not intentionally take any action or intentionally omit to take any action within its control and the scope of its duties if, in taking or omitting to take such action, the Certificate Administrator knows that such action or omission (as the case may be) would cause the termination of the REMIC status of a Trust REMIC or the imposition of tax on a Trust REMIC (other than a tax on income expressly permitted or contemplated to be received by the terms of this Agreement). Notwithstanding any provision of this paragraph or the three preceding paragraphs to the contrary, the Certificate Administrator shall not be required to take any action that the Certificate Administrator in good faith believes to be inconsistent with any other provision of this Agreement, nor shall the Certificate Administrator be deemed in violation of this paragraph if it takes any action expressly required or authorized by any other provision of this Agreement, and the Certificate Administrator shall have no responsibility or liability with respect to any act or omission of the Depositor or the Master Servicer which does not enable the Certificate Administrator to comply with any of clauses (i) through (vi) of the third preceding paragraph or which results in any action contemplated by clauses (i) through (iii) of the next succeeding sentence. In this regard the Certificate Administrator shall (i) not allow the occurrence of any “prohibited transactions” within the meaning of Code Section 860F(a), unless the party seeking such action shall have delivered to the Certificate Administrator an Opinion of Counsel (at such party’s expense) that such occurrence would not (a) result in a taxable gain, (b) otherwise subject a Trust REMIC to tax (other than a tax at the highest marginal corporate tax rate on net income from foreclosure property), or (c) cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes; (ii) not allow a Trust REMIC to receive income from the performance of services or from assets not permitted under the REMIC Provisions to be held by such Trust REMIC (provided, however, that the receipt of any income expressly permitted or contemplated by the terms of this Agreement shall not be deemed to violate this clause); and (iii) not permit the creation of any “interests,” within the meaning of the REMIC Provisions, in the Upper-Tier REMIC other than the Regular Certificates, the Class A-S Regular Interest, the Class B Regular Interest, the Class C Regular Interest and the Upper-Tier REMIC Residual Interest, or in the Lower-Tier REMIC other than the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and the Lower-Tier Residual Interest. None of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Depositor shall be responsible or liable for any failure by the Certificate Administrator to comply with the provisions of this Section 4.04. The Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall cooperate in a timely manner with the Certificate Administrator in supplying any information within the Depositor’s, the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s control (other than any confidential information) that is reasonably necessary to enable the Certificate Administrator to perform its duties under this Section 4.04. (b) The following assumptions are to be used for purposes of determining the anticipated payments of principal and interest for calculating the original yield to maturity and original issue discount with respect to the Regular Certificates, the Class A-S Regular Interest, the Class B Regular Interest and the Class C Regular Interest: (i) each Mortgage Loan will pay principal and interest in accordance with its terms and scheduled payments will be timely received on their Due Dates, provided that the Mortgage Loans in the aggregate will prepay in accordance with the Prepayment Assumption; (ii) none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor and the Class R Certificateholder will exercise the right described in Section 9.01 of this Agreement to cause early termination of the Trust Fund; and (iii) no Mortgage Loan is repurchased or substituted for by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to Article II of this Agreement.
