INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT
Terms not defined in this Introductory Statement shall have the meanings specified in Article 1 hereof.
Barclays Bank and SG co-originated a 10-year fixed rate loan (the “Mortgage Loan”) pursuant to that certain Loan Agreement, dated as of June 1, 2016 (the “Loan Agreement”), among Barclays Bank, SG and Mall at Rockingham, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Borrower”). As of the Cut-off Date, the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan is $262,000,000.
The following table sets forth each of the notes that evidence the Mortgage Loan:
Note | Loan Seller | Trust/Non-Trust | Senior/Subordinate(1) | Original Principal Balance | ||||
Note A-1-A | Barclays | Trust Note | Senior | $25,500,000 | ||||
Note A-2-A | Société Générale | Trust Note | Senior | $17,000,000 | ||||
Note A-1-B | Barclays | Senior Pari Passu Non-Trust Note | Senior | $60,000,000 | ||||
Note A-2-B | Société Générale | Senior Pari Passu Non-Trust Note | Senior | $40,000,000 | ||||
Note B-1 | Barclays | Trust Note | Subordinate | $71,700,000 | ||||
Note B-2 | Société Générale | Trust Note | Subordinate | $47,800,000 |
(1) | Each A Note is pari passu in right of payment with the other A Notes and each Trust B Note is pari passu in right of payment with the other Trust B Notes. The Trust B Notes are subordinate in right of payment to the A Notes. Accordingly, Notes A-1-B and A-2-B are pari passu with the Trust A Notes. |
Note A-1-A and Note A-2-A are referred to herein as the “Trust A Notes”. Note B-1 and Note B-2 are referred to herein as the “Trust B Notes”. Note A-1-B and Note A-2-B are referred to herein as the “Senior Pari Passu Non-Trust Notes”. The Trust A Notes and the Senior Pari Passu Non-Trust Notes are referred to herein as the “A Notes”. The Trust A Notes and the Trust B Notes are referred to herein as the “Trust Notes”.
The portion of the Mortgage Loan evidenced by the Trust Notes is referred to herein as the “Trust Loan”, having an aggregate principal balance as of the Cut-off Date of $162,000,000. The portion of the Mortgage Loan evidenced by the Senior Pari Passu Non-Trust Notes is referred to as herein as the “Senior Pari Passu Companion Loans”, having an aggregate principal balance as of the Cut-off Date of $100,000,000. The Trust Notes and the Senior Pari Passu Non-Trust Notes are collectively referred to herein as the “Notes” and, each, as a “Note”.
The Trust Loan was sold and assigned by Barclays Bank and SG (the “Loan Sellers”) to the Depositor pursuant to a loan purchase and sale agreement, dated as of June 1, 2016 (the “Loan Purchase Agreement”), among the Loan Sellers and the Depositor. Note A-1-A and Note B-1, which are being sold by Barclays, represent a 60% interest in the Trust Loan and Note A-2-A and Note B-2, which are being sold by SG, represent a 40% interest in the Trust Loan. The percentage interest in the Trust Loan evidenced by the Trust Notes being sold by each Seller are referred to herein as such Loan Seller’s “Loan Seller Percentage Interest”.
The Senior Pari Passu Companion Loans are not part of the Trust Fund. The relative rights of the respective lenders in respect of the Mortgage Loan are set forth in a co-lender agreement dated as of June 28, 2016 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Co-Lender Agreement”), among the holders of the Notes. From and after the Closing Date, the entire Mortgage Loan is to be serviced and administered in accordance with this Agreement.
As provided for herein, the Certificate Administrator shall elect or shall cause elections to be made to treat designated portions of the Trust Fund 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 “REMIC”). The Class A, Class X, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates will represent “regular interests” in the Upper-Tier REMIC. The Class LA, Class LB, Class LC, Class LD and Class LE Uncertificated Interests will represent “regular interests” in the Lower-Tier REMIC. The Class R Certificates will evidence the sole Class of “residual interests” in each of the Upper-Tier REMIC and Lower-Tier REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions under federal income tax law.
In exchange for the Trust Loan, the Trust will issue to the Depositor the Class A, Class X, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E and Class R Certificates (collectively, the “Certificates”), which Certificates in the aggregate will evidence the entire beneficial interest in the Trust Fund. The Trust Fund consists principally of the Trust Loan and all payments under, and proceeds of, the Trust Loan as well as the Mortgage and the Loan Documents (exclusive of the rights of the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders thereunder), in each case, following the Cut-off Date.
The Depositor intends to sell the Certificates in an offering exempt from the registration requirements of the federal securities laws.

The conveyance of the Trust Loan and the related rights and property accomplished hereby is absolute and is intended by the parties hereto to constitute an absolute sale and transfer of the Trust Loan and such other related rights and property by the Depositor to the Trustee in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders, in exchange for the Certificates being sold by the Depositor. Furthermore, it is not intended that such conveyance be a pledge of security for the Trust Loan. If such conveyance is determined to be a pledge of security for the Trust Loan, however, the Depositor and the Trustee intend that the rights and obligations of the parties to the Trust Loan shall be established pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Depositor and the Trustee also intend and agree that, in such event, (i) this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law, (ii) the Depositor shall be deemed to have granted to the Trustee (in such capacity) a first priority security interest in all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to the assets constituting the Trust Fund, including the Trust Loan subject hereto from time to time, all amounts received on or with respect to the Trust Loan after the Closing Date, all amounts held from time to time in the Collection Account, the Distribution Account, and, if established, the Foreclosed Property Account, and all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest under the Loan Purchase Agreement, (iii) the possession by the Custodian of the Notes with respect to the Trust Loan subject hereto from time to time and such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be “possession by the secured party” or possession by a purchaser or person designated by such secured party for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law, and (iv) notifications to, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, Persons holding such property, shall be deemed to be notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, securities intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Trustee for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law.
2.2. Acceptance by the Trustee and the Custodian. (a) By its execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Trustee acknowledges the assignment to it of the Trust Loan in good faith without notice of adverse claims and the Custodian, on behalf of the Certificate Administrator, declares that it holds and will hold or will cause to be held such documents as are delivered to it constituting the Mortgage File (to the extent the documents constituting the Mortgage File are actually delivered to it) in trust, upon the conditions herein set forth, for the use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders and the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders.
(b) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Custodian shall constitute certification by the Custodian that (i) the original Trust Notes specified in clause (A) of the definition of “Mortgage File” and all allonges thereto, if any, have been received by the Custodian; and (ii) such original Notes have been reviewed by the Custodian and (A) appear regular on their face (handwritten additions, changes or corrections shall not constitute irregularities if initialed by the Borrower), (B) appear to have been executed and (C) purport to relate to the Mortgage Loan. The Custodian agrees to review or cause to be reviewed the Mortgage File within 60 days after the Closing Date, and to deliver to the Trustee, the Depositor, the Directing Holder, the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders, the Loan Sellers, the Servicer and the Special Servicer a Trust Receipt and Certification in the form of Exhibit N attached hereto certifying, subject to any exceptions found by it in such review, that (A) all documents referred to in Section 2.1(b) have been received, and (B) all documents have been executed, appear on their face to be what they purport to be, purport to be recorded or filed (as
-59-
applicable) and have not been torn, mutilated or otherwise defaced, and appear on their faces to relate to the Mortgage Loan. The Custodian shall have no responsibility for reviewing the Mortgage File except as expressly set forth in this Section 2.2(b). The Custodian shall be under no duty or obligation to inspect, review, or examine any such documents, instruments or certificates to independently determine that they are valid, genuine, enforceable, legally sufficient, duly authorized, or appropriate for the represented purpose, whether the text of any assignment or endorsement is in proper or recordable form (except to determine if the endorsement conforms to the requirements of Section 2.1(b)), whether any document has been recorded in accordance with the requirements of any applicable jurisdiction, to independently determine that any document has actually been filed or recorded in the appropriate office, that any document is other than what it purports to be on its face, or whether the title insurance policies relate to the Property.
(c) Upon the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Custodian shall deliver to the Trustee, the Depositor, the Loan Sellers, the Servicer and the Special Servicer a Final Trust Receipt in the form of Exhibit O attached hereto along with a final exception report as to any remaining documents that are not in the Mortgage File, whereupon, within 90 days, the Depositor shall either (i) cause the Loan Sellers to cure such document deficiency; or (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Loan Sellers to repurchase the Trust Loan pursuant to the Loan Purchase Agreement if such exception is a Material Document Defect. The sole remedy available to the Certificateholders and the Trust with respect to any Material Document Defect is the Depositor’s enforcement of the repurchase claim in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Purchase Agreement. The Depositor shall be reimbursed for any costs, fees (including attorney fees) and expenses incurred by it in connection with its obligations related to such enforcement by the Loan Sellers, or if the Loan Sellers prevail in such enforcement action, by the Trust Fund.
(d) The Custodian’s review of the Mortgage Files and its certification with respect thereto shall not be deemed to constitute “due diligence services” or a “third party due diligence report” as such terms are defined in Rule 17g-10 and 15Ga-2, respectively, promulgated by the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act.
(e) If the Servicer or the Special Servicer (i) receives a Repurchase Request (the receiving Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, the “Repurchase Request Recipient” with respect to such Repurchase Request); or (ii) receives any withdrawal of a Repurchase Request by the Person making such Repurchase Request (or such a Repurchase Request is forwarded to the Servicer or Special Servicer by another party hereto), then the Repurchase Request Recipient shall deliver notice of such Repurchase Request or withdrawal of a Repurchase Request (each, a “Rule 15Ga-1 Notice”) to the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor and the Loan Sellers, in each case within ten Business Days from such party’s receipt thereof. Each Rule 15Ga-1 Notice may be delivered by electronic means.
Each Rule 15Ga-1 Notice shall include (i) the identity of the Trust Loan, (ii) the date the Repurchase Request is received or the date any withdrawal of the Repurchase Request is received, as applicable and (iii) in the case of a Repurchase Request, (A) the identity of the Person making such Repurchase Request, and (B) if known, the basis for the Repurchase Request (as asserted in the Repurchase Request).

In the event that the Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator receives a Repurchase Request or a withdrawal of a Repurchase Request, such party shall promptly forward or otherwise provide written notice of such Repurchase Request or withdrawal of a Repurchase Request, as the case may be, to the Servicer or, if relating to the Mortgage Loan while a Special Servicing Loan Event has occurred and is continuing, to the Special Servicer, and include the following statement in the related correspondence: “This is a “[Repurchase Request]/[withdrawal of a Repurchase Request]” under Section 2.2 of the Trust and Servicing Agreement relating to the BBSG 2016-MRP Mortgage Trust, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2016-MRP requiring action by you as the “Repurchase Request Recipient” thereunder.” Upon receipt of such Repurchase Request or withdrawal of a Repurchase Request by the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable pursuant to the prior sentence, such party shall be deemed to be the Repurchase Request Recipient in respect of such Repurchase Request or withdrawal of a Repurchase Request, as the case may be, and such party shall comply with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.2(e) with respect to such Repurchase Request.
If the Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator receives notice or has knowledge of a withdrawal of a Repurchase Request of which notice has been previously received or given, and such notice was not received from or copied to the Servicer or the Special Servicer, then such party shall promptly give notice of such withdrawal to the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable.

References in this Agreement to actions taken or to be taken, and limitations on actions permitted to be taken, by the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, in servicing the Mortgage Loan include actions taken or to be taken by a sub-servicer on behalf of the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable.

(c) Any sub-servicing agreement entered into by the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide that it may be assumed or terminated by (i) the Trustee if the Trustee has assumed the duties of the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, or if the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, is otherwise terminated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) a successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, if such successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, has assumed the duties of the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, without cost or obligation to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, the Trust or the Trust Fund.
(d) Any sub-servicing agreement, and any other transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loan involving a sub-servicer, shall be deemed to be between the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, and such sub-servicer alone, and the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Trust and the Certificateholders shall not be deemed
-70-
parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the sub-servicer, and no provision herein shall be construed so as to require the Trust, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Depositor to indemnify any such sub-servicer. The Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, is permitted, at its own expense, or to the extent that a particular expense is provided herein to be an Advance or an expense of the Trust, at the expense of the Trust, to utilize other agents or attorneys typically used by servicers of mortgage loans underlying commercial mortgage-backed securities in performing its obligations under this Agreement.
(e) Notwithstanding anything herein, each of the initial Servicer and the initial Special Servicer may delegate certain of its duties and obligations hereunder to an Affiliate of the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable. Such delegation shall not be considered a sub-servicing agreement hereunder, and the requirements and obligations set forth herein applicable to sub-servicing agreements, sub-servicers or Servicing Function Participants shall not be applicable to such arrangement. Notwithstanding any such delegation, the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall remain obligated and liable for the performance of their respective obligations and duties under this Agreement in accordance with the provisions hereof to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if each alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loan as required hereby. Furthermore, each of the initial Servicer and the initial Special Servicer may contract with third party vendors or sub-contractors for the performance of limited functions such as the performance of inspections or conduction of appraisals and such contracts shall not be considered a sub-servicing agreement hereunder, and the requirements and obligations set forth herein applicable to sub-servicing agreements and sub-servicers shall not be applicable to such arrangement; provided that the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall remain obligated and liable for the performance of their respective obligations and duties under this Agreement in accordance with the provisions hereof to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if each alone were performing such functions as required hereby; provided further that any engagement of a party that performs any activity that addresses the Applicable Servicing Criteria shall be considered a Servicing Function Participant and the requirements and obligations set forth herein applicable to Servicing Function Participants shall apply.
(f) The parties hereto acknowledge that the Mortgage Loan is subject to the terms and conditions of the Co-Lender Agreement and recognize the respective rights and obligations of the Trust, as holder of the Trust Loan, and of the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders, as holders of the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loans, under the Co-Lender Agreement, including: (i) with respect to the allocation of collections on or in respect of the Mortgage Loan, and the making of remittances, to the Trust, as holder of the Trust Loan, and to the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders, as holders of the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loans; (ii) with respect to the allocation of expenses and losses relating to the Mortgage Loan to the Trust, as holder of the Trust Loan, and to the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders, as holders of the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loans, and (iii) to the extent provided for under the Co-Lender Agreement, the consultation rights of the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders.

(a) The Certificate Administrator shall establish and maintain on behalf of the Trustee and for the benefit of the Certificateholders a segregated non-interest bearing trust account (the “Distribution Account”), which shall be deemed to include the Lower-Tier Distribution Account and the Upper-Tier Distribution Account, which shall be subaccounts of the Distribution Account for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, as holder of the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests. The Distribution Account must be an Eligible Account. On each Remittance Date, the Servicer shall transfer from the Collection Account to the Certificate Administrator for deposit into the Distribution Account all funds remaining on deposit therein pursuant to Section 3.4(d). The Certificate Administrator shall credit the funds remitted by the Servicer from the Collection Account to the Distribution Account. Amounts held in the Distribution Account shall be uninvested.
The Certificate Administrator shall make withdrawals from the Distribution Account (i) to withdraw any amounts deposited therein in error, (ii) to deposit any required Withheld Amounts into the Interest Reserve Account pursuant to Section 3.4(e) and (iii) to make distributions to the Holders of the Certificates pursuant to Section 4.1.
(b) The Certificate Administrator shall make or be deemed to have made withdrawals from the Lower-Tier Distribution Account in the following order of priority and only for the following purposes:
(i) to make deposits of the Lower-Tier Distribution Amount pursuant to Section 4.1(b) and Section 4.3(b) into the Upper-Tier Distribution Account and to make distributions to the Holder of the Class R Certificates (in respect of the Class LT-R Interest) pursuant to Section 4.1(b);
(ii) to withdraw amounts deposited into the Lower-Tier Distribution Account in error and pay such amounts to the Persons entitled thereto; and
(iii) to clear and terminate the Lower-Tier Distribution Account pursuant to Section 10.2.

(iii) to clear and terminate the Upper-Tier Distribution Account at the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.2.
3.6. Foreclosed Property Account. The Special Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more deposit accounts (the “Foreclosed Property Account”) for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders in the name of “Torchlight Loan Services, LLC, as Special Servicer for U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee of BBSG 2016-MRP, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2016-MRP and the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders” related to the Foreclosed Property, if any, held in the name of the Special Servicer for the benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders. The Foreclosed Property Account must be an Eligible Account maintained with an Eligible Institution. The Special Servicer shall deposit into the Foreclosed Property Account within two Business Days of receipt all properly identified funds collected and received in connection with the operation or ownership of such Foreclosed Property. On or before the Determination Date, the Special Servicer shall withdraw the funds in the Foreclosed Property Account, net of certain expenses and/or reserves (to the extent not inconsistent with the express terms hereof, the amount of such reserves to be determined in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices), and deposit them into the Collection Account in accordance with Section 3.4(b). The Special Servicer shall notify the Certificate Administrator in writing of the location and account number of the Foreclosed Property Account and shall notify the Certificate Administrator in writing prior to any subsequent change thereof.
3.7. Appraisal Reductions. (a) Within 60 days after the occurrence of an Appraisal Reduction Event, the Special Servicer shall (i) notify the Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator and, during any Subordinate Control Period or Subordinate Consultation Period, the Directing Holder, of such occurrence of an Appraisal Reduction Event, (ii) use reasonable efforts to obtain an Appraisal of the Property (provided that the Special Servicer will not be required to obtain an Appraisal of the Property with respect to which there exists an Appraisal which is less than nine months old, unless it has actual knowledge of a material adverse change in the market or condition or value of the Property) and (iii) determine on the basis of such Appraisal whether there exists any Appraisal Reduction Amount and, if so, give reasonably prompt notice thereof to the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders. The cost of obtaining any such Appraisal shall be paid by the Servicer as a Property Protection Advance or an Administrative Advance unless it would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. Updates of any such Appraisal shall be obtained by the Special Servicer, and paid for by the Servicer as a Property Protection Advance or an Administrative Advance (or paid for by the Trust if the Servicer determines that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance) every nine months for so long as an Appraisal Reduction Event exists, and the Appraisal Reduction Amount shall be adjusted accordingly. If required in accordance with any such adjustment, each Class of Certificates that has been notionally reduced as a result of Appraisal Reduction Amounts shall have its related Certificate Balance notionally restored by the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee to the extent required by such adjustment of the
-78-
Appraisal Reduction Amount, and there will be a redetermination of whether a Subordinate Control Period or Subordinate Consultation Period is in effect. Any such Appraisal obtained pursuant to this Section 3.7(a) will be delivered by the Special Servicer to the Trustee, the Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders and the 17g-5 Information Provider and, during any Subordinate Control Period or Subordinate Consultation Period, the Directing Holder in electronic format and the Certificate Administrator shall make such Appraisal available to Privileged Persons pursuant to Section 8.14(b). The 17g-5 Information Provider shall post such Appraisal on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 8.14(b).
The Mortgage Loan will be treated as a single mortgage loan for purposes of calculating an Appraisal Reduction Amount. Any Appraisal Reduction Amount in respect of the Mortgage Loan will be allocated first to the Trust B Notes, up to the full outstanding principal balance thereof, and then to the Trust A Notes and the Senior Pari Passu Non-Trust Notes, on a pro rata and pari passu basis, based on their respective outstanding principal balances thereof.
The Appraisal Reduction Amount allocated to the Trust Notes for any Distribution Date shall be applied to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances of the Certificates in the following order of priority: first, to the Class E Certificates, second, to the Class D Certificates; third, to the Class C Certificates; and fourth, to the Class B Certificates (provided in each case that no Certificate Balance in respect of any such Class may be notionally reduced below zero). Appraisal Reduction Amounts shall not be applied to notionally reduce the Certificate Balance of the Class A Certificates.
(b) While an Appraisal Reduction Amount exists, (i) the amount of any Monthly Payment Advances on the Trust Loan shall be reduced as provided in Section 3.23(a) and (ii) the existence thereof will be taken into account for purposes of determining the Voting Rights of certain Classes of Certificates as provided in Section 3.7(c).
(c) The Certificate Balance of each of the Sequential Pay Certificates shall be notionally reduced (solely for purposes of determining (i) the Voting Rights of the related Classes and (ii) whether a Subordinate Control Period or Subordinate Consultation Period is in effect) on any Distribution Date to the extent of the Appraisal Reduction Amount allocated to such Class on such Distribution Date.
(d) In the event that a portion(s) of one or more Monthly Payment Advances with respect to the Trust Loan was reduced as a result of an Appraisal Reduction Event, the amount of the Net Liquidation Proceeds to be applied to interest shall be reduced by the aggregate amount of such reductions and the portion of such Net Liquidation Proceeds to be applied to principal shall be increased by such amount, and if the amounts of the Net Liquidation Proceeds to be applied to principal have been applied to pay the principal of the Trust Loan in full, any remaining Net Liquidation Proceeds shall then be applied to pay any remaining accrued and unpaid interest on the Trust Loan in accordance with Section 1.3.
(e) If (i) an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred, (ii) either (A) no Appraisal or update of the Appraisal has 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
-79-
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 and 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 the Property or Foreclosed Property, as the case may be, within 60 days after the Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred, then (x) until the new Appraisal is conducted, the Appraisal Reduction Amount for the Mortgage Loan shall be equal to 25% of the Loan Principal Balance for the Mortgage Loan, and (y) upon receipt or performance of the new Appraisal by the Special Servicer, the Appraisal Reduction Amount for the Property or Foreclosed Property, as the case may be, shall be recalculated in accordance with the definition of Appraisal Reduction Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, solely for purposes of determining whether a Subordinate Control Period or a Subordinate Consultation Period is then in effect or the allocation of Voting Rights for certain purposes, deemed Appraised Reduction Amounts imposed pursuant to clause (x) of the preceding sentence will not be allocated to any Class of Certificates; provided, however, this sentence shall not affect in any manner the effect of Appraised Reduction Amounts based upon anything other than such clause (x), including when the related Appraisals are received.
With respect to any Appraisal Reduction Amount calculated for purposes of determining an Appraisal Reduction Event, the appraised value (as determined by an updated Appraisal) of the Property securing the Mortgage Loan will be determined on an “as-is” basis, based upon the current physical condition, use and zoning of the Property as of the date of the Appraisal.
Subject to Accepted Servicing Practices, absent manifest error in the appraised value contained in an Appraisal, the Special Servicer will not be permitted to adjust downward the appraised value of the Property in making an Appraisal Reduction Amount calculation, to the extent that such downward adjustment would cause the Class E Certificates to become an Appraised-Out Class.
If the Certificate Balance of the Class E Certificates (taking into account the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balance of such Class) has been reduced to less than 25% of its Initial Certificate Balance, such Class will be referred to as the “Appraised-Out Class”. The Holders of the majority (by Certificate Balance) of the Appraised-Out Class shall have the right, at their sole expense, to require the Special Servicer to order a second Appraisal of the Property (such Holders, the “Requesting Holders”). The Special Servicer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that such Appraisal is delivered within 60 days from receipt of the Requesting Holders’ written request and shall ensure that such Appraisal is prepared by an Independent Appraiser).
In addition, if subsequent to the Class E Certificates becoming an Appraised-Out Class there is a material change with respect to the Property related to the Appraisal Reduction Amounts that caused such Class to become an Appraised-Out Class, the Requesting Holders will have the right to request, in writing, that the Special Servicer obtain an additional Appraisal, which request shall set forth the Requesting Holder’s belief of what constitutes a material change to the Property (including any related documentation). The costs of obtaining such additional Appraisal will be paid by the Requesting Holders. Subject to the Special Servicer’s
-80-
confirmation, determined in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that there has been a change with respect to the Property 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 provided further that the Holders of an Appraised-Out Class may require the Special Servicer to order an additional Appraisal no more than once in any nine-month period). Appraisals that are permitted to be requested by any Appraised-Out 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 such material change or that the Special Servicer is otherwise required or permitted to order under this Agreement without regard to any Appraisal requests made by any Requesting Holder.
Upon receipt of any supplemental Appraisal pursuant to the two preceding paragraphs, the Special Servicer shall recalculate such Appraisal Reduction Amounts based upon such second Appraisal. If required by any such recalculation, the applicable 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 Amounts.
Any Appraised-Out Class for which the Requesting Holders are challenging the Special Servicer’s Appraisal Reduction Amounts determination may not exercise any rights of the related Controlling Class until such time, if any, as such Class is reinstated as the Controlling Class.
3.8. Investment of Funds in the Collection Account, the Companion Loan Account and the Foreclosed Property Account. (a) The Servicer (and, with respect to the Foreclosed Property Account, the Special Servicer) may direct any depository institution maintaining the Collection Account, the Companion Loan Account, the Foreclosed Property Account and any Reserve Account (to the extent interest is not payable to the Borrower), respectively (each, for purposes of this Section 3.8, an “Investment Account”), to invest the funds in such Investment Account in one or more Permitted Investments that bear interest or are sold at a discount, and that mature, unless payable on demand, no later than the Business Day preceding the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such Investment Account pursuant to this Agreement. Any direction by the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to invest funds on deposit in an Investment Account shall be in writing and shall certify that the requested investment is a Permitted Investment which matures at or prior to the time required hereby or is payable on demand. All such Permitted Investments shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand. Any investment of funds in an Investment Account shall be made in the name of the Trustee (in its capacity as such) or in the name of a nominee of the Trustee on behalf of the Trust. The Certificate Administrator shall have sole control (except with respect to investment direction, which shall be in the control of the Servicer (or the Special Servicer, with respect to any Foreclosed Property Account) as an independent contractor to the Trust Fund) over each such investment and any certificate or other instrument evidencing any such investment shall be delivered directly to the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which shall initially be the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable), together with any document
-81-
of transfer, if any, necessary to transfer title to such investment to the Trustee or its nominee. The Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall have no responsibility or liability with respect to the investment directions of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, or any losses resulting therefrom, whether from Permitted Investments or otherwise. In the event amounts on deposit in an Investment Account are at any time invested in a Permitted Investment payable on demand, the Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, 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 (1) all amounts then payable thereunder and (2) the amount required to be withdrawn on such date; and
(ii) demand payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon determination by the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, that such Permitted Investment would not constitute a Permitted Investment in respect of funds thereafter on deposit in the related Investment Account.
(b) All net income and gain realized from investment of funds deposited in the Collection Account, the Companion Loan Account and the Reserve Accounts (to the extent not payable to the Borrower) shall be for the benefit of the Servicer in accordance with the terms and priorities of this Agreement. All net income and gain realized from investment of funds deposited in the Foreclosed Property Account shall be for the benefit of the Special Servicer. Any net losses on funds in the Collection Account, the Companion Loan Account, the Reserve Accounts (except in the case of any such loss with respect to a Reserve Account, to the extent such losses are incurred on amounts invested for the benefit of the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents) or the Foreclosed Property Account shall be reimbursed by the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, from its own funds promptly, but in any event on or prior to the Remittance Date following the realization of such loss.
(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 Servicer shall take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate proceedings. In the event the Servicer takes any such action, the Trust Fund shall pay or reimburse the Servicer, pursuant to Section 3.4(d), for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Servicer in connection therewith.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee (in its capacity as the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as the case may be) shall cover any losses from the bankruptcy or insolvency of a depository institution holding an account described in this Section 3.8, if such institution was an Eligible Institution at the time of such deposit and such institution was not an Affiliate of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable.
-82-
3.9. Payment of Taxes, Assessments, etc. The Servicer (other than with respect to any Foreclosed Property) and the Special Servicer (with respect to any Foreclosed Property) shall maintain accurate records with respect to the Property (or Foreclosed Property, as the case may be) reflecting the status of taxes, assessments, charges and other similar items that are or may become a lien on the Property (or Foreclosed Property, as the case may be) and the status of insurance premiums payable in respect of insurance policies required to be maintained pursuant to Section 3.11 hereof. The Servicer shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such items (including renewal premiums). The Servicer shall pay real estate taxes, insurance premiums and other similar items from funds in the applicable Reserve Account in accordance with the Loan Agreement at such time as may be required by the Loan Documents. If the Borrower does not make the necessary payments and/or a Loan Event of Default has occurred and amounts in the applicable Reserve Account are insufficient to make such payments, the Servicer shall make a Property Protection Advance, subject to the determination of non-recoverability provided in Section 3.23, from its own funds for amounts payable with respect to all such items related to the Property when and as the same shall become due and payable. The Servicer shall ensure that the amount of funds in the applicable Reserve Account is increased when and if applicable taxes, assessments, charges and other similar items, ground rents, leasehold rents or insurance premiums are increased, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement.
3.10. Appointment of Special Servicer. (a) Torchlight Loan Services, LLC is hereby appointed as the initial Special Servicer to service the Mortgage Loan while a Special Servicing Loan Event has occurred and is continuing and perform the other obligations of the Special Servicer hereunder.
(b) If there is a Special Servicer Termination Event with respect to the Special Servicer, the Special Servicer may be removed and replaced pursuant to Sections 7.1 and 7.2. The Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, shall, promptly after receiving notice of any such Special Servicer Termination Event, notify the Servicer, the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders, the Trustee (in the case of the Certificate Administrator) and the Certificate Administrator (which shall post such notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 8.14(b)) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall post such notice on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 8.14(b). The appointment of any such successor Special Servicer shall not relieve the Servicer or the Trustee of their respective obligations to make Advances as set forth herein; provided, however, the initial Special Servicer specified above shall not be liable for any actions or any inaction of such successor Special Servicer. No termination fee shall be payable to the terminated Special Servicer. No termination of the Special Servicer and appointment of a successor Special Servicer shall be effective until the successor Special Servicer has assumed all of its responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder in writing and a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such appointment has been delivered to the Trustee. Any successor Special Servicer shall be deemed to make the representations and warranties provided for in Section 2.5(a) mutatis mutandis as of the date of its succession. The terminated Special Servicer shall retain all rights accruing to it under this Agreement, including the right to receive fees accrued prior to its termination and other amounts payable to it (including indemnification payments).

The Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to comply with the preceding sentence within five Business Days of the date that a Special Servicing Loan Event has occurred.

The Special Servicer shall instruct the Borrower to continue to remit all payments in respect of the Mortgage Loan to the Servicer. The Servicer shall forward any notices it would otherwise send to the Borrower under the Mortgage Loan to the Special Servicer who shall send such notice to the Borrower while a Special Servicing Loan Event has occurred and is continuing.
(d) Upon determining that a Special Servicing Loan Event is no longer continuing, the Special Servicer shall promptly give notice thereof to the Servicer, the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, and upon giving such notice such Special Servicing Loan Event shall cease, the Special Servicer’s obligation to service the Mortgage Loan shall terminate and the obligations of the Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loan shall resume and the Special Servicer shall return all of the information and materials furnished to the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.10(c) to the Servicer.
(e) In making a Major Decision or in servicing the Mortgage Loan during the continuance of a Special Servicing Loan Event, the Special Servicer shall provide to the Certificate Administrator originals of documents entered into in connection therewith that are required to be included within the definition of “Mortgage File” for inclusion in the Mortgage File (to the extent such documents are in the possession of the Special Servicer) and copies of any additional related Mortgage Loan information, including correspondence with the Borrower, and the Special Servicer shall promptly provide copies of all of the foregoing to the Servicer as well as copies of any related analysis or internal review prepared by or for the benefit of the Special Servicer.

Such Asset Status Report shall set forth the following information to the extent reasonably determinable:
(i) summary of the status of the Mortgage Loan and any negotiations with the Borrower;

(x) the decision that the Special Servicer made or intends or proposes to make, including a narrative analysis setting forth the Special Servicer’s rationale for its proposed decision, including its rejection of the alternatives; and an analysis of whether or not taking such action is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery on a present value basis than not taking such action, setting forth (x) the basis on which the Special Servicer made such determination and (y) the net present value calculation (including the applicable discount rate used) and all related assumptions; and
(xi) such other information as the Special Servicer deems relevant in light of the proposed action and Accepted Servicing Practices.
The Special Servicer shall (x) deliver to the Certificate Administrator and 17g-5 Information Provider the Asset Status Report and a proposed notice to Certificateholders that will include a summary of the current Asset Status Report in an electronic format (which shall be a brief summary of the current status of the Property and strategy with respect to the resolution and workout of the Mortgage Loan), and the Certificate Administrator shall post such summary on the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 8.14(b) and (y) implement the Asset Status Report in the form delivered to the Certificate Administrator.

If, during any Subordinate Control Period, the Directing Holder disapproves such Asset Status Report within ten (10) Business Days of receipt and the Special Servicer has not made the determination described below, the Special Servicer shall revise such Asset Status Report and deliver a new Asset Status Report as soon as practicable, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after such disapproval, to the Directing Holder, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the 17g 5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post such revised Asset Status Report on the 17g 5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 8.14(b)). During any Subordinate Control Period, the Special Servicer shall revise such Asset Status Report as described above in this Section 3.10(h) until the Directing Holder shall fail to disapprove such revised Asset Status Report in writing within ten (10) Business Days of receiving such revised Asset Status Report, until the Directing Holder’s approval is no longer required or until the Special Servicer makes the determination described below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer (A) may, following the occurrence of an extraordinary event with respect to the Property or the Mortgage Loan or, if a failure to take any such action at such time would be inconsistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, take any action set forth in such Asset Status Report before the expiration of a ten (10) Business Day period and (B) shall implement the action recommended in the Asset Status Report if it makes a determination in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices that such affirmative disapproval is not in the best interest of all the
-86-
Certificateholders and the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders; provided, however, that such Asset Status Report is not intended to replace or satisfy any other specific consent or approval right which the Directing Holder may have pursuant to Section 9.3.
The Special Servicer shall deliver to the Servicer, the Directing Holder (during any Subordinate Consultation Period) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post the same to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website) a copy of each Final Asset Status Report, in each case with reasonable promptness following the adoption thereof. The Special Servicer shall provide a summary of such report to the Certificate Administrator (which shall be a brief summary of the status of the Property and strategy with respect to the resolution and workout of the Trust Loan), and the Certificate Administrator shall post such summary to its Internet website.
After the termination of any Subordinate Control Period, the Directing Holder shall have no right to consent to any Asset Status Report under this Section 3.10(h) or otherwise direct the Servicer or Special Servicer. After the termination of any Subordinate Consultation Period, the Directing Holder (other than in its capacity as a Certificateholder) shall have no right to receive any Asset Status Report or otherwise consult with the Special Servicer with respect to any matter set forth therein.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary: (i) the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall have no right or obligation to consult with or to seek and/or obtain consent, approval or direction from any Directing Holder prior to or after acting or making any determination (and provisions of this Agreement requiring such consultation, consent or approval shall be of no effect) during the period following any resignation or removal of a Directing Holder and before a replacement is selected and/or identified; and (ii) no advice, direction or objection from or by the Directing Holder, as contemplated by Section 9.3 or pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement, as contemplated by this Agreement, may (and the applicable Servicer or Special Servicer may ignore and act without regard to any such advice, direction or objection that such Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, has determined, in its reasonable, good faith judgment, would): (A) require or cause such Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, to violate applicable law, the terms of the Loan Documents or this Agreement, including, as applicable, the Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Accepted Servicing Practices, (B) result in an Adverse REMIC Event, (C) expose the Trust, the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or any of their respective Affiliates, members, managers, officers, directors, employees or agents, to any claim, suit or liability or (D) materially expand the scope of the Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s, the Trustee’s or the Certificate Administrator’s responsibilities under this Agreement.
(i) During the continuance of a Special Servicing Loan Event, the Special Servicer shall have the authority to meet with the Borrower and, subject to the rights of the Directing Holder (during any Subordinate Control Period or Subordinate Consultation Period) take any actions consistent with Section 3.24, Accepted Servicing Practices and the most recent Asset Status Report.

(j) In addition, during the continuance of a Special Servicing Loan Event, on the Determination Date the Special Servicer shall prepare and deliver to the Servicer the CREFC® Special Servicer Loan File with respect to the Mortgage Loan.
(k) If the Special Servicer is a Borrower Related Party, the Special Servicer shall resign as Special Servicer. In the event that the Special Servicer is required to resign as Special Servicer because it is a Borrower Related Party, during any Subordinate Control Period or Subordinate Consultation Period, (i) if the Directing Holder is not a Borrower Related Party, the Directing Holder shall appoint a successor special servicer that is not a Borrower Related Party in accordance with this Agreement and (ii) if the Directing Holder is a Borrower Related Party, the largest Controlling Class Certificateholder (by Certificate Balance) that is not a Borrower Related Party shall appoint the successor special servicer in accordance with this Agreement.
In the event that the Special Servicer is required to resign as Special Servicer because it is a Borrower Related Party and either (i) a Subordinate Control Period or a Subordinate Consultation Period is in effect, the Directing Holder is a Borrower Related Party and there is no Controlling Class Certificateholder that is not a Borrower Related Party or (ii) neither a Subordinate Control Period nor a Subordinate Consultation Period is in effect, then upon resignation of the Special Servicer, at the expense of the Issuing Entity, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice of such resignation to all Certificateholders by posting such notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website and the successor special servicer shall be appointed upon the written direction of more than 50% of the Voting Rights of the Certificates that exercise their right to vote (provided that holders of at least 20% of the Voting Rights of the Certificates exercise their right to vote).

The successor special servicer shall perform all of the obligations of the Special Servicer and will be entitled to all special servicing compensation earned during such time as the successor special servicer is acting as special servicer.
3.11. Maintenance of Insurance and Errors and Omissions and Fidelity Coverage. (a) The Servicer, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices and the Loan Documents, shall cause to be maintained by the Borrower (or if the Borrower fails to maintain such insurance in accordance with the Loan Agreement, the Servicer shall cause to be maintained to the extent such insurance is available at commercially reasonable rates, and to the extent the Trustee on behalf of the Trust, as mortgagee, has an insurable interest) insurance with respect to the Property of the types and in the amounts required to be maintained by the Borrower under the Loan Documents. The cost of any such insurance maintained by the
-88-
Servicer shall be advanced by the Servicer, as a Property Protection Advance unless it would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. Neither the Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be required to maintain, and shall not cause the Borrower to be in default with respect to the failure of the Borrower to obtain, all-risk casualty insurance which does not contain any carve-out for terrorist or similar acts, if and only if the Special Servicer and, during any Subordinate Control Period, the Directing Holder, have determined, on an annual basis, that such insurance is not required pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents as in effect on the date thereof. Neither the Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be required to obtain terrorism insurance pursuant to this Agreement to the extent the Borrower would not be obligated to maintain terrorism insurance under the Loan Documents as in effect on the date thereof. In determining whether the failure to maintain any terrorism insurance would qualify as an Acceptable Insurance Default, the Special Servicer may hire an insurance consultant, which shall be an expense of the Trust, and shall be entitled to rely on such insurance consultant in making such determination.
(b) The Special Servicer, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices and the Loan Documents, shall cause to be maintained such insurance with respect to any Foreclosed Property as the Borrower is required to maintain with respect to the Property referred to in subsection (a) of this Section 3.11 or, at the Special Servicer’s election, coverage satisfying insurance requirements consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices. The cost of any such insurance with respect to any Foreclosed Property shall be payable out of amounts on deposit in the Foreclosed Property Account or shall be advanced by the Servicer as a Property Protection Advance unless such advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. Any such insurance (other than terrorism insurance, which shall be maintained to the extent required under subsection (a)) that is required to be maintained with respect to a Foreclosed Property shall only be so required to the extent such insurance is available at commercially reasonable rates. If the Special Servicer requests the Servicer to make a Property Protection Advance in respect of the premiums due in respect of such insurance, the Servicer shall, as soon as practicable after receipt of such request, make such Property Protection Advance unless such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, and if the Servicer does not make such Advance, the Trustee (within 5 Business Days of its receipt of notice of the Servicer’s failure to make such Advance) shall make an Advance of the premiums to maintain such insurance, provided that, in each such case, such obligations shall be subject to the provisions of this Agreement concerning Nonrecoverable Advances, the Trustee as mortgagee having an insurable interest and the availability of such insurance at commercially reasonable rates.
(c) The Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may satisfy its obligations to cause insurance policies to be maintained by maintaining a master force placed or blanket insurance policy insuring against losses on the Property or the Foreclosed Property, as the case may be for which coverage is otherwise required to be maintained as set forth in the preceding subsections of this Section 3.11. The incremental cost of such insurance allocable to the Property or Foreclosed Property, if not borne by the Borrower, shall be paid by the Servicer as a Property Protection Advance unless it would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. If such master force placed or blanket insurance policy contains a deductible clause, the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall deposit in the Collection Account out of its own funds all sums that would have been deposited in the Collection Account but for such clause to the extent any such deductible exceeds the deductible limitation that pertains to the Trust Loan, or in the absence of
-89-
any such deductible limitation, the deductible limitation that is consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices.
(d) Each of the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall obtain and maintain at its own expense, and keep in full force and effect throughout the term of this Agreement, a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy (rated no lower than “A-” by S&P (or, if not so rated, an equivalent (or higher) rating by at least one other nationally recognized insurance rating agency, which may include “A-:VIII” or better by A.M. Best Company, or as otherwise acceptable to S&P and KBRA as confirmed in a Rating Agency Confirmation)), covering its directors, officers, employees, as applicable, in connection with its activities under this Agreement. Each such insurance policy shall protect the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, against losses resulting directly from forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions of such covered persons. Coverage of the Servicer or the Special Servicer under a policy or bond obtained by an Affiliate thereof and providing the coverage required by this Section 3.11(d) shall satisfy the requirements of this Section 3.11(d). The amount of coverage shall be at least equal to the coverage that is required by applicable governmental authorities having regulatory power over the Servicer and the Special Servicer. If no such coverage amounts are imposed by such regulatory authorities, the amount of coverage shall be at least equal to the coverage that would be required by FNMA or FHLMC with respect to the Servicer and the Special Servicer if each were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loan for FNMA or FHLMC or as otherwise approved by FNMA or FHLMC. In the event that any such bond or policy ceases to be in effect, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall obtain a comparable replacement bond or policy. Each shall use efforts consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices to cause each and every sub-servicer, if any, to maintain a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy meeting the requirements as described above. In lieu of the foregoing, but subject to this Section 3.11, the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to self-insure with respect to such risks so long as it (or its immediate or ultimate parent) is rated at least “A-” by S&P or its equivalent by KBRA (if then rated by KBRA).
(e) No provision of this Section 3.11 requiring such fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Servicer or the Special Servicer from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to request, upon receipt of a written request from any Certificateholder, and the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each deliver or cause to be delivered to the Certificate Administrator, a certificate of insurance from the surety and insurer certifying that such insurance is in full force and effect. The Certificate Administrator will make any such certificate of insurance available to the requesting Certificateholder.
3.12. Procedures with Respect to Defaulted Loan; Realization upon the Property. (a) Upon a Loan Event of Default, the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust (subject to the rights of the Directing Holder during any Subordinate Control Period (and upon consultation with the Directing Holder during any Subordinate Consultation Period)) and the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders, subject to the terms of the Loan Documents and the Co-Lender Agreement and consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, shall promptly pursue the remedies set forth therein or otherwise available in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, including foreclosure or otherwise realization on the Property and the other collateral
-90-
for the Mortgage Loan. In connection with any foreclosure, enforcement of the Loan Documents or other realization on the Collateral, the Special Servicer shall direct the Servicer to, and the Servicer shall, pay the costs and expenses in any such proceedings as a Property Protection Advance unless the Servicer determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, in which case it will be an expense of the Trust.
(b) Such proposed acceleration of the Mortgage Loan and/or foreclosure on the Property shall be taken unless the Special Servicer waives such Loan Event of Default (or modifies or amends the Mortgage Loan to cure the Loan Event of Default), which the Special Servicer may do if such modification, waiver or amendment is consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices and does not cause either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or constitute a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan under Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b).
(c) In connection with such foreclosure as described in Section 3.12(a) or other realization on the Property, the Special Servicer shall follow Accepted Servicing Practices; provided, however, that the Special Servicer shall not be permitted to direct the Servicer, and neither the Special Servicer nor the Servicer shall be required, to expend its own funds to restore damage done to the Property by an Uninsured Cause unless the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, permitted the related insurance policy to lapse in violation of its respective obligations hereunder. If the Servicer does expend its own funds to restore the Property damaged by an Uninsured Cause (which insurance policy did not lapse in violation of the Servicer’s obligations), such expense shall be a Property Protection Advance. In connection with any foreclosure, enforcement of the Loan Documents or other realization on the Collateral, the Special Servicer shall direct the Servicer to, and the Servicer shall, pay the costs and expenses in any such proceedings as a Property Protection Advance unless the Servicer determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer may not foreclose on the Property on behalf of the Trust Fund and the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders and thereby be the beneficial owner of the Property, or take any other action with respect to such item that would cause the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust Fund and the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders, to be considered to hold title to, to be a “mortgagee-in-possession” of, or to be an “owner” or “operator” of the Property within the meaning of CERCLA or any comparable law, unless the Special Servicer has previously determined, based on a report prepared at the expense of the Trust Fund by an independent person who regularly conducts site assessments for purchasers of comparable properties (a copy of such report to be provided to the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders and the Trustee by the Special Servicer), that (i) the Property is in compliance with applicable environmental laws or that taking the remedial actions necessary to comply with such laws is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery on a present value basis than not taking such actions and (ii) there are no circumstances known to the Special Servicer relating to the use of hazardous substances or petroleum-based materials which require investigation or remediation, or that if such circumstances exist taking such remedial actions is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery on a net present value basis than not taking such actions. The Special Servicer shall deliver a copy of any such report to the 17g-5
-91-
Information Provider in electronic format (and the 17g-5 Information Provider shall make such report available on its website to the Rating Agencies and NRSROs pursuant to Section 8.14(b)).
If the Special Servicer has so determined based on satisfaction of the criteria in this Section 3.12(d) that it would be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund and the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders (as a collective whole as if the Trust Fund and the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders constituted a single lender) (as determined in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices) to institute a foreclosure or take any other actions described in the immediately preceding paragraph, subject to the rights of the Directing Holder to consent to and/or consult in respect of such action, as applicable, pursuant to the terms hereof, the Special Servicer shall take such proposed action. The Special Servicer shall not foreclose upon or otherwise cause the Trust to acquire ownership of any Collateral other than the Property unless it receives an Opinion of Counsel (the cost of which shall be paid by the Servicer as a Property Protection Advance unless the Servicer determines that such Property Protection Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, in which case it shall be an expense of the Trust) to the effect that such acquisition will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event (other than a tax on “net income from foreclosure property” under Code Section 860G(c)) at any time that the Certificates are outstanding.
The Special Servicer shall direct the Servicer to, and the Servicer shall, advance the cost of any such compliance, containment, clean up or remediation as a Property Protection Advance unless the Servicer determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.
(e) The environmental site assessments contemplated by Section 3.12(d) shall be prepared by any Independent Person who regularly conducts environmental site assessments for purchasers of comparable properties, as determined by the Servicer in a manner consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices. The cost of each such environmental site assessment shall qualify as a Property Protection Advance and shall be advanced by the Servicer unless the Servicer determines that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.
(f) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Special Servicer shall not hold for the benefit of the Trust Fund and the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders any personal property pursuant to this Section 3.12 unless:
(i) such personal property is incidental to real property (within the meaning of Section 856(e)(1) of the Code) so acquired by the Special Servicer; or
(ii) the Special Servicer shall have obtained an Opinion of Counsel (the cost of which shall be paid by the Servicer as a Property Protection Advance unless the Servicer determines that such Property Protection Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance in which case the cost of such Opinion of Counsel shall be treated as a reimbursable expense of the Servicer related to foreclosure) to the effect that the holding of such personal property by the Trust Fund will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event at any time that any Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interest or Certificate is outstanding.
-92-
(g) Notwithstanding any acquisition of title to the Property following a Loan Event of Default under the Mortgage Loan and cancellation of the Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Loan shall be deemed to remain outstanding and held in the Trust Fund (for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders) for purposes of the application of collections and shall be reduced only by collections net of expenses. For purposes of all calculations hereunder, so long as the Mortgage Loan shall be deemed to remain outstanding in accordance with the preceding sentence, (i) it shall be assumed that the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan immediately after any discharge is equal to the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan immediately prior to such discharge and (ii) Foreclosure Proceeds shall be applied as provided in Section 1.3(a).
3.13. Custodian to Cooperate; Release of Items in the Mortgage File. From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing of the Mortgage Loan or foreclosure of or realization on any Property, the Custodian shall, upon request of the Servicer or the Special Servicer and delivery to the Custodian of a request for release in the form of Exhibit B hereto, release or cause to be released any items from the Mortgage File to the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, within the lesser of (i) seven calendar days and (ii) five Business Days of its receipt of the related request for release and shall execute such documents furnished to it as shall be necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings. Such request for release shall obligate the Servicer or the Special Servicer to return such items to the Custodian when the need therefor by the Servicer or the Special Servicer no longer exists.
3.14. Title and Management of Foreclosed Property. (a) In the event that title to the Property is acquired for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, the deed, certificate of sale or other comparable document shall be taken in the name of the Trustee, as trustee for the Holders of the BBSG 2016-MRP Mortgage Trust, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2016-MRP or its nominee (which shall not include the Special Servicer), on behalf of the Trust Fund and the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders or as otherwise contemplated pursuant to Section 8.10. Title may be taken in the name of a limited liability company wholly owned by the Trust and which is managed by the Special Servicer (the costs of which shall be advanced by the Servicer; provided that such Advance would not be a Nonrecoverable Advance). Promptly after such acquisition of title, the Special Servicer shall consult with counsel to determine when an Acquisition Date shall be deemed to occur under the REMIC Provisions with respect to the Property, the expense of such consultation being treated as a Property Protection Advance, unless the Servicer determines that such Property Protection Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance in which case it shall be treated as a reimbursable expense of the Servicer related to the foreclosure. The Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund and the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders, shall dispose of any Foreclosed Property held by the Trust Fund as expeditiously as appropriate in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, but in any event within the time period, and subject to the conditions, set forth in Sections 3.15 and 12.2. Subject to Sections 12.2 and 3.14(d), the Special Servicer may hire on behalf of the Trust Fund and the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders a Successor Manager to manage, conserve, protect and operate such Foreclosed Property for the Certificateholders and the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale. In connection with such management and subject to
-93-
Section 3.4(d)(viii), the Successor Manager shall be entitled
to the REO Management Fee solely from the Foreclosed Property Account or the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.4(d)(viii).
(b) The Special Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received in connection with the operation of any Foreclosed Property separate and apart from its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain with respect to a Foreclosed Property a Foreclosed Property Account in the name of the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.6.
(c) The Special Servicer shall have full power and authority, subject to Accepted Servicing Practices and the specific requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to do any and all things in connection with a Foreclosed Property for the benefit of the Trust Fund and the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders (as a collective whole as if the Trust Fund and the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders constituted a single lender) on such terms as are appropriate and necessary for the efficient liquidation of such Foreclosed Property, so long as the Special Servicer deems such actions to be consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices.
The Special Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited on a daily basis in the Foreclosed Property Account all revenues received with respect to the Foreclosed Property, and the Special Servicer shall cause to be withdrawn therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of such Foreclosed Property and for other expenses related to the preservation and protection of such Foreclosed Property, including, but not limited to:
(i) all insurance premiums due and payable in respect of such Foreclosed Property;
(ii) all taxes, assessments, charges or other similar items in respect of such Foreclosed Property that could result or have resulted in the imposition of a lien thereon; and
(iii) all costs and expenses necessary to preserve such Foreclosed Property, including the payment of ground rent, if any.
To the extent that amounts on deposit in the Foreclosed Property Account are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) above (and all similar amounts or expenses), the Special Servicer shall direct the Servicer to, and the Servicer shall, make a Property Protection Advance unless the Servicer determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.
(d) The Special Servicer, in the name of the Trust Fund, may (subject to Section 3.14(a)) contract with any Successor Manager for the operation and management of any Foreclosed Property; provided that no such contract shall impose individual liability on the Trustee or the Trust; provided, further, that:
(i) the terms and conditions of any such contract shall not be inconsistent herewith;
-94-
(ii) any such contract shall require, or shall be administered to require, that the Successor Manager (A) request that the Special Servicer pay from the Foreclosed Property Account all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the operation and management of any Foreclosed Property, and (B) remit all related revenues (net of such costs and expenses) to the Special Servicer, for deposit into the Foreclosed Property Account, as soon as practicable but in no event later than the Business Day immediately following receipt; and
(iii) none of the provisions of this Section 3.14 relating to any such contract or to actions taken through any such Successor Manager shall be deemed to relieve the Special Servicer of any of its ordinary and regularly recurring duties and obligations to the Trust Fund on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders with respect to the operation and management of any Foreclosed Property.
The Special Servicer shall be entitled, and to the extent required by the REMIC Provisions, shall be required, to enter into an agreement with any Independent Contractor performing services for it related to its duties and obligations hereunder for indemnification of the Special Servicer by such Independent Contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification. All REO Management Fees shall be an expense of the Trust Fund payable from the Foreclosed Property Account or subject to reimbursement pursuant to Section 3.4(d)(viii). The Special Servicer agrees to monitor the performance of the Successor Manager and to enforce the obligations of the Successor Manager on behalf of the Trust Fund and the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders. Expenses incurred by the Special Servicer in connection herewith shall qualify as Property Protection Advances.
(e) On or before the Determination Date, the Special Servicer shall withdraw from the Foreclosed Property Account and deposit into the Collection Account the proceeds and collections received or collected since the preceding Remittance Date through the Business Day prior to the Remittance Date on or with respect to any Foreclosed Property (including any funds no longer needed in any reserves established as provided below), net of expenses paid therefrom and amounts reasonably expected to be needed to fund any reserves deemed necessary for the operation, preservation and protection of such Foreclosed Property, including without limitation, the creation of reasonable reserves for working capital, repairs, replacements and necessary capital improvements and other related expenses.
3.15. Sale of Foreclosed Property. (a) In the event that title to the Property is acquired by the Special Servicer for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, the deed, certificate of sale or other comparable document shall be taken in the name of the Trustee, or its nominee (which shall not include the Special Servicer), on behalf of the Trust and the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders or as otherwise contemplated pursuant to Section 8.10. The Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust and the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders, shall sell any Foreclosed Property in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices and the REMIC Provisions, in no event later than the Rated Final Distribution Date in a manner provided under this Section 3.15.
-95-
(b) If the Special Servicer or an Affiliate acquires any Foreclosed Property in the name of and on behalf of the Trust and the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders, the Special Servicer shall be empowered, subject to the Code and to the specific requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to do any and all things in connection with the management and operation of the Foreclosed Property, all on terms and for such period as the Special Servicer deems to be in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, all on terms and for such period as the Special Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Certificateholders and the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders, as a collective whole (as if such Certificateholders and the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders constituted one lender) and consistent with the REMIC Provisions.
(c) Subject to the consent and consultation rights of the Directing Holder to the extent set forth in this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall accept the highest cash bid for any Foreclosed Property received from any person. However, in no event may such bid be less than an amount at least equal to the Par Purchase Price related to such Foreclosed Property through the date of sale and all reasonably estimated liquidation expenses. In the absence of any such bid, the Special Servicer shall accept the highest cash bid which it determines is a fair price based on Appraisals obtained within the last 9 months. If the highest bidder is an Interested Person, the Trustee shall determine the fairness of the highest bid based upon an independent Appraisal; provided that if the Trustee is required to determine whether a cash offer by an Interested Person constitutes a fair price, the Trustee may designate an independent third party expert in real estate or commercial mortgage loan matters with at least five (5) years’ experience in valuation of or investment in loans similar to the Mortgage Loan, which such expert shall be selected with reasonable care by the Trustee for the sole purpose of determining whether any such cash offer constitutes a fair price for the Mortgage Loan; provided, further, that if the Trustee so designates any such third party to make such determination, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon such third party’s determination and the reasonable costs of all Appraisals, inspection reports and broker opinions of value incurred by the Trustee in making such determination shall be reimbursable to it first, by the Servicer as an Advance, subject to the Servicer’s determination that such amounts are not Nonrecoverable Advances, and then as an expense of the Trust Fund. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but, during any Subordinate Control Period, subject to the consent rights of the Directing Holder set forth in Section 9.3 herein, the Special Servicer shall not be obligated to accept the higher cash offer if the Special Servicer determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders (as a collective whole, as if such Certificateholders and the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders constituted a single lender), and the Special Servicer may accept a lower cash offer (from any person other than itself or an affiliate) if it determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that acceptance of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders (as a collective whole, as if such Certificateholders and the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders constituted a single lender). For avoidance of doubt, the Directing Holder may submit bids on any Foreclosed Property in the same manner and at the same time and place as any other bidder. Neither the Trustee, in its individual capacity, nor any of its Affiliates may make an offer for or purchase any Foreclosed Property.
-96-
(d) Subject to the provisions of Sections 3.14 and 12.2, the Special Servicer shall act on behalf of the Trust and the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders in negotiating and taking any other action necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of any Foreclosed Property, including the collection of all amounts payable in connection therewith. Any sale of any Foreclosed Property shall be without recourse to the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders and the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders (except that any contract of sale and assignment and conveyance documents may contain customary warranties, so long as the only recourse for breach thereof is to the Trust Fund) and if consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, none of the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer or the Special Servicer shall have any liability to any Certificateholder with respect to the purchase price thereof accepted by the Special Servicer or the Trustee.
(e) The proceeds of any sale effected pursuant to this Section 3.15, after deduction of the expenses incurred in connection therewith, shall be deposited in the Collection Account in accordance with Section 3.4(b).
(f) Within 30 days of the sale of any Foreclosed Property, if not previously included in a CREFC® Report provided by the Servicer or the Special Servicer, the Special Servicer shall provide to the Trustee, the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders and the Certificate Administrator a statement of accounting for such Foreclosed Property, including, without limitation, (i) the date such Foreclosed Property was acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, (ii) the date of disposition of such Foreclosed Property, (iii) the gross sale price and related selling and other expenses, (iv) accrued interest with respect to the Loan Principal Balance of such Foreclosed Property, calculated from the date of acquisition to the disposition date, and (v) such other information as the Trustee, the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders or the Certificate Administrator may reasonably request.
(g) The Special Servicer shall prepare and file on a timely basis the reports of foreclosures and abandonments of the Property required by Section 6050J of the Code and the reports of discharges of indebtedness income in respect of the Mortgage Loan and each Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan required by Section 6050P of the Code.
3.16. Sale of Defaulted Loan.
(a) (i) Within sixty (60) days after the occurrence of a Special Servicing Loan Event, the Special Servicer shall order (but shall not be required to have received) an Appraisal for the Property. The Special Servicer shall promptly notify in writing the Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders and the Directing Holder (during any Subordinate Control Period or Subordinate Consultation Period) of the occurrence of such Special Servicing Loan Event. Upon delivery by the Special Servicer of the notice described in the preceding sentence, the Special Servicer may offer to sell to any Person the Mortgage Loan or may offer to purchase the Mortgage Loan, if and when the Special Servicer determines, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, that no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments thereon and such a sale would be in the best economic interests of the Trust and the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan
-97-
Holders constituted a single lender) on a net present value basis. The Special Servicer shall provide the Trustee, the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders, the Certificate Administrator and the Directing Holder (during any Subordinate Control Period or Subordinate Consultation Period) not less than five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to sell the Mortgage Loan, in which case the Special Servicer is required to accept the highest cash offer received from any Person (other than any Interested Person) for the Mortgage Loan in an amount at least equal to the Par Purchase Price or, at its option, if it has received no offer at least equal to the Par Purchase Price therefor, purchase the Mortgage Loan at the Par Purchase Price. Any Appraisal obtained pursuant to this Section 3.16 will be delivered by the Special Servicer to the Certificate Administrator in electronic format and the Certificate Administrator shall make such Appraisal available to Privileged Persons pursuant to Section 8.14(b). The Senior Pari Passu Companion Loans shall be sold together with the Mortgage Loan, subject to this Section 3.16 and any additional requirements set forth in the Co-Lender Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 5 of the Co-Lender Agreement).
(ii) In the absence of any offer at least equal to the Par Purchase Price (or purchase by the Special Servicer for such price), the Special Servicer shall accept the highest cash offer received from any Person that is determined by the Special Servicer to be a fair price for the Mortgage Loan, if the highest cash offeror is the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, a Holder of 50% or more of the Controlling Class, the Directing Holder, the Certificate Administrator, any Borrower Related Party, any property manager, any independent contractor engaged by the Special Servicer, any Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder or any known affiliate of any of the foregoing (any such person, an “Interested Person”), then the Trustee (based upon, among other things, the Appraisal ordered pursuant to the preceding paragraph (the cost of which shall be paid by the Servicer as a Property Protection Advance) and copied or otherwise delivered to the Trustee) shall determine if the highest cash offer is a fair price and such determination shall be binding upon all parties; provided that if the Trustee is required to determine whether a cash offer by an Interested Person constitutes a fair price, the Trustee may designate an independent third party expert in real estate or commercial mortgage loan matters with at least five (5) years’ experience in valuation of or investment in loans similar to the Mortgage Loan, which such expert shall be selected with reasonable care by the Trustee for the sole purpose of determining whether any such cash offer constitutes a fair price for the Mortgage Loan; provided, further, that if the Trustee so designates any such third party to make such determination, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon such third party’s determination and the reasonable costs of all appraisals, inspection reports and broker opinions of value incurred by the Trustee in making such determination shall be reimbursable to it first, by the Servicer as an Advance, subject to the Servicer’s determination that such amounts are not Nonrecoverable Advances, and then as an expense of the Trust. Neither the Trustee, in its individual capacity, nor any of its Affiliates may make an offer for or purchase the Mortgage Loan. For avoidance of doubt, the Directing Holder may submit bids on the defaulted Mortgage Loan in the same manner and at the same time and place as any other bidder.
(iii) The Special Servicer shall not be obligated to accept the highest cash offer if the Special Servicer determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that
-98-
the rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the Holders of the Certificates and the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders constituted a single lender). In addition, the Special Servicer may accept a lower cash offer if it determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that the acceptance of such offer would be in the best interests of the Holders of the Certificates and the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders constituted as single lender); provided that the offeror is not the Special Servicer or a Person that is an Affiliate of the Special Servicer. The Special Servicer shall use efforts consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices to sell the Mortgage Loan prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date.
(iv) Unless and until the Mortgage Loan is sold pursuant to this Section 3.16(a), the Special Servicer shall pursue such other resolution strategies with respect to the Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, workout and foreclosure, as the Special Servicer may deem appropriate, consistent with the Asset Status Report, Accepted Servicing Practices and the REMIC Provisions.
(b) Any sale of the Mortgage Loan by the Special Servicer shall be subject to the Directing Holder’s consent and consultation rights as described in Section 9.3 herein.
(c) The right of the Special Servicer to purchase or sell the Mortgage Loan after the occurrence of a Special Servicing Loan Event shall terminate, and shall not be exercisable as set forth in clause (a) above (or if exercised but the purchase of the Mortgage Loan has not yet occurred, the Special Servicer’s right shall terminate and such exercise shall be of no further force or effect) if the Mortgage Loan is no longer delinquent as a result of any of the following: (i) the Special Servicing Loan Event has ceased pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, (ii) the Mortgage Loan has become subject to a fully executed agreement reflecting the terms of a workout arrangement or (iii) the Mortgage Loan has otherwise been resolved (including by a full or discounted pay-off).
(d) Any sale of the Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.16(a) shall be for cash only.
(e) The Special Servicer shall not be permitted to sell the Mortgage Loan if the Mortgage Loan becomes a defaulted whole loan without the written consent of the holders of the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loans (provided that such consent shall not be required if a holder of a Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan is a Borrower Related Party) unless the Special Servicer has delivered to the holders of the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loans: (a) at least 15 business days prior written notice of any decision to attempt to sell the Mortgage Loan; (b) at least 10 days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of each bid package (together with any material amendments to such bid packages) received by the Special Servicer in connection with any such proposed sale; (c) at least 10 days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of the most recent appraisal for the Mortgage Loan, and any documents in the servicing file reasonably requested by any holder of a Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan that are material to the price of the Mortgage Loan; and (d) until the sale is completed, and a reasonable period of time (but no less time than is afforded to other offerors) prior to the proposed sale date, all information and
-99-
other documents being provided to other offerors and all leases or other documents that are approved by the Servicer or the Special Servicer in connection with the proposed sale; provided that the holders of the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loans may waive any of the delivery or timing requirements described in this sentence.
3.17. Servicing Compensation. (a) The Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Servicing Fee with respect to the Mortgage Loan and Foreclosed Property payable monthly out of the Collection Account from payments of interest on the Mortgage Loan or Foreclosure Proceeds allocable as interest on such Foreclosed Property, as the case may be in accordance with and subject to Section 3.4(d)(ii). The Servicer shall be entitled to retain as compensation any late payment charges and certain other customary charges and fees to the extent described below, as well as reimbursement for all other costs or expenses incurred by it in performing its duties hereunder other than: (i) fees of any sub-servicer and the expenses of any sub-servicer that would not be reimbursable to Servicer if such expenses were incurred by the Servicer; (ii) the cost of any fidelity bond or errors and omissions policy required by Section 3.11(d); (iii) overhead expenses of the Servicer including but not limited to those which may properly be allocable under the Servicer’s accounting system or otherwise to the Servicer’s activities under this Agreement or the income derived by it hereunder including the costs to the Servicer associated with employees of the Servicer performing services in connection with the obligations of the Servicer hereunder; and (iv) costs and expenses arising from the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Servicer (the “Servicer Customary Expenses”). So long as no Special Servicing Loan Event has occurred and is continuing, the Servicer shall also be entitled to retain certain other customary charges and fees including any late payment charges (including any late payment fees collected after the occurrence of a Special Servicing Loan Event but accrued prior to such Special Servicing Loan Event) (to the extent not applied pursuant to Section 3.4(d)), Default Interest (to the extent not applied pursuant to Section 3.4(d)), assumption application fees, assumption fees (except that if the consent of the Special Servicer is required for a particular assumption, then 50% of such assumption fees), substitution fees, defeasance fees, Modification Fees, consent fees, loan service transaction fees, insufficient funds fees and similar fees and expenses to the extent, with respect to any such amounts, collected and allocated to such amounts as permitted by (or not otherwise prohibited by) the terms of the Loan Documents and this Agreement (in each case, to the extent actually received from the Borrower), release fees and any income earned (net of losses to the extent provided in this Agreement) on the investment of funds deposited in the Collection Account, the Companion Loan Account and any Reserve Accounts (to the extent not payable to the Borrower) to the extent provided for in this Agreement (“Additional Servicing Compensation”); provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be entitled to apply or retain any Default Interest or any late payment charges, with respect to the Mortgage Loan, with respect to which a default thereunder or Loan Event of Default is continuing unless and until such default or Loan Event of Default has been cured and all delinquent amounts due with respect to the Mortgage Loan have been paid.
If a Special Servicing Loan Event occurs, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to receive a Special Servicing Fee with respect to the Mortgage Loan for so long as such Special Servicing Loan Event continues as well as reimbursement for all other costs or expenses incurred by it in performing its duties hereunder other than: (i) the cost of any fidelity bond or errors and omissions policy required by Section 3.11(d); (ii) overhead expenses of the Special Servicer including but not limited to those which may properly be allocable under the Special Servicer’s
-100-
accounting system or otherwise to the Special Servicer’s activities under this Agreement or the income derived by it hereunder including the costs to the Special Servicer associated with employees of the Special Servicer performing services in connection with the obligations of the Special Servicer hereunder; and (iii) costs and expenses arising from the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Special Servicer (the “Special Servicer Customary Expenses”). If a Special Servicing Loan Event is terminated following resolution of such Special Servicing Loan Event by a written agreement with the Borrower negotiated by the Special Servicer, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Work-out Fee on all payments of principal and interest (other than at the Default Rate) made on the Mortgage Loan following such written agreement for so long as another Special Servicing Loan Event does not occur. If the Special Servicer is terminated (other than for cause) or resigns after such written agreement is entered into and before or after the Special Servicing Loan Event is terminated, it shall retain the right to receive any and all Work-out Fees on all payments of principal and interest (other than at the Default Rate) made on the Mortgage Loan following such written agreement (negotiated by such Special Servicer prior to its termination or resignation) for so long as another Special Servicing Loan Event does not occur and the successor Special Servicer shall have no rights with respect to such Work-out Fee. In addition, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to receive a Liquidation Fee with respect to each Liquidated Property or the liquidation of the Specially Serviced Loan (whether through sale, discounted payoff or other liquidation) as to which the Special Servicer receives Net Liquidation Proceeds, except that no Liquidation Fee shall be payable in connection with a repurchase of the Trust Loan by the Loan Sellers pursuant to the Loan Purchase Agreement (so long as such repurchase occurs within the 90-day time period required by the Loan Purchase Agreement) or in connection with the sale of the Mortgage Loan by the Special Servicer to an Interested Person pursuant to Section 3.16 hereof. The Liquidation Fee shall be payable from, and shall be calculated using, the related Net Liquidation Proceeds. Each of the foregoing fees shall be payable from funds on deposit in the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.4(d). For so long as a Special Servicing Loan Event is continuing, the Special Servicer shall also be entitled to retain as additional servicing compensation any late payment fees (to the extent not applied pursuant to Section 3.4(d)), Default Interest (to the extent not applied pursuant to Section 3.4(d)), assumption fees, assumption application fees, Modification Fees, loan service transaction fees, consent fees and similar fees and expenses to the extent, with respect to any such amounts, collected (to the extent permitted by (or not otherwise prohibited by) and allocated to such amounts in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents or this Agreement, and any income earned (net of losses to the extent provided in this Agreement) on the investment of funds deposited in the Foreclosed Property Account to the extent provided in this Agreement (“Additional Special Servicing Compensation”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Mortgage Loan has become a Specially Serviced Loan solely due to the failure to make the Balloon Payment and the Mortgage Loan is refinanced on or before the date that is four (4) months after the Maturity Date, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to collect a Liquidation Fee or Work-out Fee only from the Borrower and shall not otherwise be entitled to deduct a Liquidation Fee from amounts due to the Certificateholders.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any Collection Period, the Special Servicer shall only be entitled to receive a Work-out Fee or a Liquidation Fee, but not both.
-101-
The Special Servicer shall also be entitled, if the Mortgage Loan is not a Specially Serviced Loan, to 50% of the assumption fees (but not assumption application fees) that are paid in connection with an assumption that the Servicer is not permitted to take in the absence of the consent or approval (or deemed consent or approval) of the Special Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to the extent that such assumption fee is actually collected on the Mortgage Loan.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, neither the Servicer nor the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement for an expense incurred under this Agreement or in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder unless (i) the amount of such payment to the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, is reimbursed to the Trust Fund by the Borrower (to the extent the Borrower is required to do so under the Loan Agreement); (ii) failure of the Borrower to reimburse for such payment constitutes a Loan Event of Default; (iii) such expense would qualify as an “unanticipated expense incurred by the REMIC” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii) or is otherwise an unanticipated expense (it being understood that the Servicer Customary Expenses and the Special Servicer Customary Expenses are not unanticipated); or (iv) such reimbursement is expressly provided for herein or such expense is expressly described herein as an expense of the Trust Fund or as an Advance.
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of the Servicer’s right to receive all or any portion of the Servicing Fee (or the Special Servicer’s right to receive all or any portion of the Special Servicing Fee) or other servicing compensation provided for herein shall be made, and any such attempted transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition shall be void, unless such transfer is made to a successor Servicer or successor Special Servicer, as applicable, in connection with the assumption by such successor of the duties hereunder pursuant to Section 7.2.
As compensation for its activities hereunder, on each Distribution Date the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to the Certificate Administrator Fee and the Trustee shall be entitled to the Trustee Fee. Except as otherwise provided herein (i) the Certificate Administrator’s fee includes all overhead expenses of the Certificate Administrator and the Authenticating Agent and (ii) the Trustee Fee includes all overhead expenses of the Trustee. Each of the Trustee’s and Certificate Administrator’s rights to the Certificate Administrator Fee and the Trustee Fee, as applicable, may not be transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of all of the Trustee’s or Certificate Administrator’s, as applicable, responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement.
The Special Servicer and its Affiliates shall be prohibited from receiving or retaining any compensation or any other remuneration (including, without limitation, in the form of commissions, brokerage fees, rebates, or as a result of any other fee-sharing arrangement) from any Person (including, without limitation, the Trust, the Borrower, the Sponsor, any property manager or indemnitor in respect of the Mortgage Loan and any purchaser of the Mortgage Loan or Foreclosed Property) in connection with the disposition or workout of the Mortgage Loan, the management or disposition of the Foreclosed Property, or the performance of any other special servicing duties under this Agreement, other than as expressly provided in
-102-
this Section 3.17 provided, however, that such prohibition shall not apply to Permitted Special Servicer/Affiliate Fees.
3.18. Reports to the Certificate Administrator; Account Statements. (a) The Servicer shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and deliver to the Certificate Administrator and the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders, in an electronic format reasonably acceptable to the Certificate Administrator, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, not later than 5:00 p.m. (New York time) one Business Day immediately preceding each Distribution Date, all CREFC® Reports (except the CREFC® Bond Level File, the CREFC® Loan Periodic Update File, the CREFC® Collateral Summary File, the CREFC® Special Servicer Loan File, the CREFC® Operating Statement Analysis Report and the CREFC® NOI Adjustment Worksheet).
The CREFC® Loan Periodic Update File shall be delivered to the Certificate Administrator by the Servicer no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) two Business Days preceding each Distribution Date.
The CREFC® Operating Statement Analysis Report and the CREFC® NOI Adjustment Worksheet shall be delivered to the Certificate Administrator by the Servicer in an electronic format mutually agreed to by the Servicer and the Certificate Administrator on a calendar quarterly basis within 30 days after the Servicer’s receipt of the Borrower’s quarterly financials (commencing within 30 days of the receipt of the Borrower’s financials for the quarter ending September 30, 2016) and annually within 30 days after receipt of the Borrower’s annual financials (commencing within 30 days of receipt of the Borrower’s annual financials for the year ending December 31, 2016); provided, however, that any analysis or update (commencing with the quarter ending March 31, 2017) with respect to the first calendar quarter of each year or year-end shall not be required to the extent such analysis or update is not required to be provided under the then current applicable CREFC® guidelines.
(b) The Servicer shall furnish to the Certificate Administrator, which shall post them to its website pursuant to Section 8.14(b), in electronic format the CREFC® Reports produced by it pursuant to this Agreement not later than the time period specified in Section 3.18(a).
(c) The Servicer shall produce the reports described in this Section 3.18 solely from information provided to the Servicer by the Borrower pursuant to the Loan Agreement (without modification, interpretation or analysis) or by the Special Servicer, Loan Sellers or Depositor pursuant to this Agreement. None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be responsible for the completeness or accuracy of such information (except that the Servicer shall use efforts consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices to correct patent errors).
(d) With respect to each Collection Period, the Special Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Certificate Administrator, without charge and within two Business Days following the related Determination Date, an electronic report that discloses and contains an itemized listing of any Disclosable Special Servicer Fees received by the Special Servicer or any of its Affiliates during the related Collection Period.

3.19. Annual Statement as to Compliance. See Sections 13.7 and 13.8.
3.20. Annual Independent Public Accountants’ Servicing Report. See Section 13.9.
3.21. Access to Certain Documentation Regarding the Mortgage Loan and Other Information. (a) Upon reasonable advance notice, the Certificate Administrator shall provide reasonable access during its normal business hours at its Corporate Trust Office to certain reports and to information and documentation in its possession regarding the Mortgage Loan to any Privileged Person (other than the Rating Agencies). With respect to each Borrower Related Party, the property manager or its respective agents or Affiliates, such information is limited to the Distribution Date Statement, and shall require the delivery of an Investor Certification in the form of Exhibit J-1C or Exhibit J-1D hereto.
(b) Upon request of the Depositor or the Rating Agencies, the 17g-5 Information Provider shall post on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website any additional information requested by the Depositor or the Rating Agencies (including without limitation pursuant to clause (a) above) to the extent such information is delivered to the 17g-5 Information Provider electronically in accordance with Section 8.14(b). In no event shall the 17g-5 Information Provider disclose on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website which Rating Agency requested such additional information.
(c) Upon the request of a Certificateholder or any Beneficial Owner or a prospective purchaser of a Certificate that is a QIB and, in any case, has delivered an Investor Certification in the form of Exhibit J-1A or Exhibit J-1B hereto to the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator (collectively, the “Rule 144A Information Recipients”), the Certificate Administrator shall make available to the Rule 144A Information Recipients such information as is specified pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Act (“Rule 144A Information”), to the extent such Rule 144A Information has been received by the Certificate Administrator. If the Certificate Administrator receives a request for Rule 144A Information in connection with the resale of any Certificate by a Certificateholder or Beneficial Owner, and such Rule 144A Information has not previously been provided to the Certificate Administrator by the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator shall, within three (3) Business Days of receipt of such request, notify the Depositor of such request and identify the Rule 144A Information requested. The Depositor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the requested Rule 144A Information to the Certificate Administrator, to the extent the requested Rule 144A Information is in the Depositor’s possession. The Certificate Administrator shall, within three (3) Business Days of receipt of any additional Rule 144A Information from the Depositor (i) convey such additional requested Rule 144A Information to the requesting Rule 144A Information Recipient and (ii) post such additional requested Rule 144A Information on the Certificate Administrator’s Website.
3.22. Inspections. The Servicer shall inspect or cause to be inspected the Property not less frequently than once each year commencing in 2017, so long as a Special Servicing Loan Event is not then continuing. The Special Servicer shall inspect or cause to be inspected the Property as soon as practicable following the occurrence of a related Special Servicing Loan Event and annually for so long as a Specially Serviced Loan Event is continuing.
-104-
The Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall further inspect, or cause to be inspected, the Property whenever it receives information that the Property has been materially damaged, left vacant, or abandoned, or if waste is being committed thereto. All such inspections shall be performed in such manner as shall be consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices. The cost of the annual inspections referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph shall be an expense of the Servicer; the cost of all additional inspections referred to in this paragraph shall be a Trust Fund Expense and if paid by the Servicer shall constitute a Property Protection Advance or an Administrative Advance. The Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall prepare a written report of inspection and deliver it to the Certificate Administrator and the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders in electronic format. The Certificate Administrator shall post such report on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, pursuant to Section 8.14(b).
3.23. Advances. (a) In the event that a Monthly Payment (other than any Balloon Payment, but including any Assumed Monthly Payment) or any portion of a Monthly Payment (or Assumed Monthly Payment, as applicable) representing interest and/or principal, if any, on the Trust Loan has not been received by the Business Day immediately prior to the Remittance Date, the Servicer, subject to its determination that such amounts are not Nonrecoverable Advances, shall make an advance on such Remittance Date to the Distribution Account, in an amount equal to the Monthly Payment (or Assumed Monthly Payment, as applicable) or any such portion of such Monthly Payment (or Assumed Monthly Payment, as applicable) on the Trust Loan that was delinquent as of the close of the Business Day immediately prior to such Remittance Date (net of the Servicing Fee with respect to the Trust Loan, which shall not be paid to the Servicer until funds in the Collection Account are available for payment of such fee); provided that neither the Servicer nor any other party shall be entitled to interest accrued on the amount of any Monthly Payment Advance with respect to the Trust Loan if the related Monthly Payment (or, if applicable, the Assumed Monthly Payment) in respect of such Trust Loan is received by the Servicer or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, by 2:00 p.m., New York time, on such Remittance Date. The Servicer shall also advance in respect of each Loan Payment Date following a delinquency in the payment of any Balloon Payment of the Trust Loan or a foreclosure (or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or comparable conversion) of the Trust Loan, not later than the related Remittance Date, to the Distribution Account, the amount of any Assumed Monthly Payment deemed due with respect to the Trust Loan on such Loan Payment Date. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that the amount of interest and principal, if any, due on the Trust Loan is reduced as a result of any modification to the Trust Loan, any future Monthly Payment Advance made with respect to such modified Trust Loan shall be in such amounts as may be required as a result of such reduction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein and subject to the determination of non-recoverability provided in this Section 3.23, in the event that the Property becomes a Foreclosed Property, the Servicer shall continue to make advances as required pursuant to this Section 3.23(a) with respect to each Loan Payment Date following such event in an amount equal to the Monthly Payment or the Assumed Monthly Payment, as applicable, due or deemed due with respect to the Trust Loan on such Loan Payment Date, as if the Property had not become a Foreclosed Property and the Trust Loan continued to be outstanding. If and to the extent such information is not already included in the Distribution Date Statement for the month in which such Monthly Payment Advance is made, the Servicer shall notify the master servicer and trustee with respect to each Companion Loan Securitization Trust of the amount of any Monthly Payment Advance made pursuant to this Section 3.23(a) within two Business Days of
-105-
making such advance. The Servicer shall maintain a record of each Monthly Payment Advance it has made pursuant to this Section 3.23(a) on the Trust Loan and shall notify the Certificate Administrator thereof in the appropriate CREFC® Reports in order to permit allocation thereof pursuant to Sections 3.4 and 3.5. In the event that the Servicer does not remit any amounts required to be remitted to the Certificate Administrator on each Remittance Date (including any amounts required to be remitted pursuant to Section 3.5 and any required Monthly Payment Advance) to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account on the Remittance Date, the Servicer shall pay to the Certificate Administrator interest on such amounts at the federal funds rate for the period from and including the Remittance Date to but excluding the Distribution Date or, if earlier, the actual remittance date.
At any time that an Appraisal Reduction Amount exists, the amount that would otherwise be required to be advanced by the Servicer in respect of delinquent payments of interest on the Trust Loan shall be reduced by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the then outstanding principal balance of the Trust Loan minus the Appraisal Reduction Amount and the denominator of which is the then outstanding principal balance of the Trust Loan.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, at no time shall the Servicer or the Trustee be required to make a Monthly Payment Advance as described in this Section 3.23(a) with respect to the portion of the Trust Loan evidenced by the Trust Notes that have been repurchased from the Trust Fund by the related Loan Seller as contemplated in Section 2.7(b).
Neither the Servicer nor the Trustee shall have any obligation to make Monthly Payment Advances on the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loans.
(b) Subject to Section 3.23(e), the Servicer shall advance, to the extent it determines that such amount is not non-recoverable, all customary and reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Servicer or the Special Servicer in the performance of its servicing obligations, including, but not limited, to the costs and expenses incurred in connection with (i) the preservation, restoration, operation and protection of the Property which, in the Servicer’s sole discretion, exercised in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, are necessary to prevent an immediate or material loss to the Trust Fund’s interest in the Property, (ii) the payment of (A) real estate taxes, assessments and governmental charges that may be levied or assessed against the Borrower or any of its Affiliates or the Property or revenues therefrom or which become liens on the Property, (B) ground rents, leasehold rents or other amounts required to be made under any ground leases or air rights leases, (C) insurance premiums and (D) the out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) to the extent not paid by the Borrower that are incurred in connection with a sale of the Mortgage Loan, the negotiation of a workout of the Mortgage Loan, an assumption of the Mortgage Loan or a release of the Property from the lien of the Mortgage, (iii) any enforcement or judicial proceedings, including foreclosures and including, but not limited to, court costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses and costs for third party experts, including Independent Appraisers, environmental and engineering consultants, and (iv) the management, operation and liquidation of the Property if the Property is acquired by the Trust (collectively, “Property Protection Advances”). In addition, subject to Section 3.23(e), the Servicer shall advance Borrower Reimbursable Trust
-106-
Fund Expenses to the extent not otherwise covered by any Property Protection Advance (collectively, “Administrative Advances”). During the continuation of a Special Servicing Loan Event, the Special Servicer shall give the Servicer and the Trustee not less than five Business Days’ written notice before the date on which the Servicer is requested to make any Property Protection Advance with respect to the Mortgage Loan or Foreclosed Property; provided, however, that only three Business Days’ written notice shall be required in respect of Property Protection Advances required to be made on an urgent or emergency basis (which may include, without limitation, Property Protection Advances required to make tax or insurance payments). In addition, the Special Servicer shall provide the Servicer with such information in its possession as the Servicer may reasonably request to enable the Servicer to determine whether a requested Property Protection Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Special Servicer requests that the Servicer make an Advance, the Servicer may conclusively rely on such request as evidence that such advance is not a Nonrecoverable Advance.
With respect to the payment of insurance premiums and delinquent tax assessments, in the event that the Servicer determines that a Property Advance of such amounts would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Servicer shall deliver notice of such determination to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Special Servicer. The Servicer (with respect to the Mortgage Loan) and the Special Servicer (with respect to the Specially Serviced Loan or Foreclosed Property) shall determine (in the case of the Special Servicer, with the reasonable assistance of the Servicer, if applicable) whether the payment of such amount (i) is necessary to preserve the Property and (ii) would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders, as a collective whole, taking into account the subordination of the Trust B Notes to the A Notes, as if such Certificateholders and Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders constituted a single lender. If the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, determines that the payment of such amount (i) is necessary to preserve the Property and (ii) would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders, the Special Servicer (in the case of a determination by the Special Servicer with respect to the Specially Serviced Loan) shall direct the Servicer in writing to make such payment and the Servicer shall make such payment, to the extent of available funds, from amounts in the Collection Account.
(c) To the extent the Servicer fails to make an Advance that it is required to make under this Agreement, the Trustee shall be required to make such Advance pursuant to Section 7.6. It is understood that the obligation of the Servicer and the Trustee (pursuant to Section 7.6) to make such Advances is mandatory, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, and shall continue to apply after any modification or amendment of the Trust Loan pursuant to Section 3.24 hereof, beyond the Maturity Date of the Trust Loan if a payment default shall have occurred on such date and through any court appointed stay period or similar payment delay resulting from any insolvency of the Borrower or related bankruptcy, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, other than the requirement of recoverability, and shall continue, subject to the requirement of recoverability, until the earlier of (i) the payment in full of the Trust Loan and (ii) the date on which the Property becomes liquidated.
(d) Interest on each Advance made by the Servicer or the Trustee shall accrue for each day that such Advance is outstanding at a rate of interest equal to the Prime Rate (the
-107-
“Advance Rate”) for each such day (or the most recent day on which the Prime Rate was reported, if not reported on such day) on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed in a month. If the context requires, each reference to the reimbursement or payment of an Advance also includes, whether or not specifically referred to, payment or reimbursement of interest thereon at the Advance Rate through but excluding the date of payment or reimbursement. Interest on Advances, if unreimbursed, shall compound annually.
(e) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the Servicer or the Trustee shall be obligated to make an Advance only to the extent that the Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, has determined that such Advance, together with interest thereon at the Advance Rate, would not constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance if made. The Trustee and the Servicer, in that order, shall be entitled to reimbursement for any such Advances from the Collection Account and shall obtain such reimbursement in accordance with Section 3.4(d). If the context requires, each reference to the reimbursement or payment of an Advance shall be deemed to include, whether or not specifically referred to, payment or reimbursement of interest thereon at the Advance Rate through but excluding the date of payment or reimbursement.
(f) The determination by the Servicer or the Trustee that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be evidenced by the delivery of an Officer’s Certificate to the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders and the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee in electronic format (if such determination is made by the Servicer), the Servicer (if such determination is made by the Trustee), the Special Servicer and the Directing Holder (during any Subordinate Control Period or Subordinate Consultation Period), detailing the reasons for such determination with supporting documents attached. Such Officer’s Certificate shall be made available to any Privileged Person by the Certificate Administrator by posting such officer’s certificate to the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 8.14(b). The costs of any appraisals, reports or surveys and other information requested by the Servicer or the Trustee establishing an Advance as a Nonrecoverable Advance shall be treated as Trust Fund Expenses, payable from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.4(d), and shall constitute a Property Protection Advance or Administrative Advance, as applicable, if paid by the Servicer or the Trustee from its funds. Subject to Section 6.3, the Servicer’s reasonable determination of nonrecoverability in accordance with the above provisions shall be conclusive and binding on the Trustee and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively thereupon. The Trustee, in determining whether or not a proposed Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall make such determination in its reasonable business judgment.
(g) The Servicer and the Trustee are not obligated to advance or pay (i) delinquent scheduled payments with respect to the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loans, (ii) the principal portion of any Balloon Payment with respect to the Trust Loan (but are obligated to advance the related Assumed Monthly Payment in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), (iii) any Default Interest, (iv) amounts required to cure any damages resulting from Uninsured Causes (except as required pursuant to Section 3.12(c)), any failure of the Property to comply with any applicable law, including any environmental law, or (except in connection with the foreclosure or other acquisition of the Property in accordance with Section 3.12 upon the occurrence of a Loan Event of Default) to investigate, test, monitor, contain, clean up, or remedy an environmental condition present at the Property, (v) any losses arising with respect to defects
-108-
in the title to the Property or (vi) any costs of capital improvements to the Property other than those necessary to prevent an immediate or material loss to the Trust’s interest in the Property.
3.24. Modifications of Loan Documents. (a) (i) The Servicer (if no Special Servicing Loan Event has occurred and is continuing) or the Special Servicer (if a Special Servicing Loan Event has occurred and is continuing) may, subject to the rights of the Directing Holder during any Subordinate Control Period or Subordinate Consultation Period, modify, waive or amend any term of the Mortgage Loan if such modification, waiver or amendment (a) is consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices and (b) does not either (i) cause either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or (ii) constitute a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) (and the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may obtain and be entitled to rely upon an Opinion of Counsel in connection with such determination). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event may the Servicer or the Special Servicer permit an extension of the Maturity Date beyond the date that is the earlier of (i) five years prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date and (2) the date that is 20 years or, to the extent consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices giving due consideration to the remaining term of the Ground Lease, 10 years, prior to the end of the current term of the Ground Lease, plus any options to extend the Ground Lease unilaterally exercisable by the Borrower. In connection with (i) the release of the Property or portion thereof from the lien of the Mortgage or (ii) the taking of the Property or portion thereof by exercise of the power of eminent domain or condemnation, if the Loan Documents require the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to calculate the loan-to-value ratio of the remaining Property, or the fair market value of the real property constituting the remaining Property, for purposes of REMIC qualification of the Mortgage Loan, then, unless then permitted by the REMIC Provisions, such calculation shall exclude the value of personal property and going concern value, if any, to the extent required by the REMIC regulations.
(b) All modifications, waivers or amendments of the Mortgage Loan shall be in writing and shall be effected in a manner consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices and the REMIC Provisions. The Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall notify the Servicer (if notice is from the Special Servicer) Trustee, Certificate Administrator, the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders, the Depositor and, during any Subordinate Control Period or Subordinate Consultation Period, the Directing Holder, in writing, of any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of the Mortgage Loan and the date thereof, and shall deliver to the Certificate Administrator (with a copy to the Trustee and each Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder) an original counterpart of the agreement relating to such modification, waiver or amendment within ten (10) Business Days following the execution or recordation (if applicable) thereof with a copy to the Servicer. In the event the Servicer or Special Servicer, or a court of competent jurisdiction in connection with a workout or proposed workout of the Mortgage Loan, modifies the interest rate applicable to the Mortgage Loan, the aggregate adverse economic effect of the modification (if any) shall be applied to the Certificates, in reverse order of seniority. If the Trust Loan is modified, the Net Trust Loan Rate shall not change for purposes of distributions on the Certificates.
(c) Subject to Section 3.26 of this Agreement, any modification of any Loan Documents that requires a Rating Agency Confirmation pursuant to the Loan Documents, or any
-109-
modification that would eliminate, modify or alter the requirement of obtaining such Rating Agency Confirmation in the Loan Documents, shall not be made without the Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as applicable, first receipt of such Rating Agency Confirmation. Such Rating Agency Confirmation shall be obtained at the Borrower’s expense in accordance with the Loan Agreement or, if not so provided in the Loan Agreement or if the Borrower does not pay, at the expense of the Trust Fund.
(d) Subject to Section 3.26 of this Agreement, prior to implementing any of clauses (vi), (vii), (viii), (ix) or (xi) of the definition of Major Decision, the Servicer or the Special Servicer shall obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such Major Decision.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer and (if a Special Servicing Loan Event is continuing) the Special Servicer may, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices (without any Rating Agency Confirmation or consent of the Directing Holder), grant the Borrower’s request for consent to subject the Property to a non-material easement, right of way or similar agreement for utilities, access, parking, public improvements or another similar purpose and may consent to subordination of the Mortgage Loan to such easement, right of way or similar agreement.
(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not permit the substitution of the Property pursuant to the defeasance provisions of the Loan Agreement unless such defeasance complies with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii) and the 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 Loan Documents, in an amount sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the 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 the Mortgage Loan in compliance with the requirements of the terms of the Loan Documents, (iii) one or more Opinions of Counsel (at the expense of the Borrower) to the effect that the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, will have a first priority perfected security interest in such substituted Property; provided, however, that, to the extent consistent with the Loan Documents, the Borrower shall pay the cost of any such opinion as a condition to granting such defeasance, (iv) to the extent consistent with the Loan Documents, a single purpose entity shall act as a successor mortgagor, if so required by the Rating Agencies, (v) to the extent permissible under the Loan Documents, the Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to require the Borrower 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 Loan Documents, the Servicer shall obtain, at the expense of the Borrower, Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency (subject to Section 3.26).
(g) To the extent not required or permitted to be placed in a separate account, the Servicer shall deposit all payments received by it from defeasance collateral substituted for the Property into the Collection Account and treat any such payments as payments made on the Mortgage Loan in advance of its Loan Payment Date, and not as a prepayment of the Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Servicer permit
-110-
such amounts to be maintained in the Collection Account for a period in excess of 365 days (or 366 days in the case of a leap year).
3.25. Servicer and Special Servicer May Own Certificates. The Servicer, the Special Servicer and any agent thereof in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates with the same rights it would have if it were not the Servicer or the Special Servicer or such agent except as otherwise provided herein subject to the restrictions on voting set forth in the definition of Certificateholder.
3.26. Rating Agency Confirmation. (a) Notwithstanding the terms of any Loan Documents or other provisions of this Agreement, if any action under any Loan Documents or this Agreement requires a Rating Agency Confirmation or a written confirmation from a Rating Agency that any action will not cause a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the then-current ratings on the Certificates as a condition precedent to such action, if the party (the “Requesting Party”) seeking to obtain such Rating Agency Confirmation or written confirmation has made a request to any Rating Agency for such Rating Agency Confirmation or written confirmation and, within 10 Business Days of such request being sent to the applicable Rating Agency, such Rating Agency has not replied to such request or has responded in a manner that indicates that such Rating Agency is either declining to review such request or waiving the requirement for Rating Agency Confirmation or written confirmation, then such Requesting Party shall be required to (i) confirm (which may be through direct communication) that the applicable Rating Agency has received the Rating Agency Confirmation or written confirmation request, and, if it has not, promptly request the related Rating Agency Confirmation or written confirmation again, (ii) if there is no response to either such Rating Agency Confirmation or written confirmation request within 5 Business Days of such second request, then (x) with respect to any condition in any Loan Document requiring such Rating Agency Confirmation or such written confirmation, or any other matter under this Agreement relating to the servicing of the Mortgage Loan (other than as set forth in clause (y) below), such requirement to obtain Rating Agency Confirmation or written confirmation from such Rating Agency for such action at such time will not apply, and (y) with respect to a replacement of the Servicer or Special Servicer, such requirement to obtain Rating Agency Confirmation or written confirmation from such Rating Agency for such action at such time will be deemed to be satisfied (provided that granting such request is in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices), (I) with respect to S&P, if the applicable replacement servicer or special servicer, as applicable, 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 and (II) with respect to KBRA, if KBRA has not cited servicing concerns of the applicable replacement servicer or special servicer as the sole or 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 a commercial mortgage-backed securities transaction serviced by the applicable servicer or special servicer prior to the time of determination.
Any Rating Agency Confirmation request made by the Servicer, Special Servicer, Certificate Administrator or Trustee, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement, shall be made in writing (which may be in electronic form), which writing shall contain a cover page indicating the nature of the Rating Agency Confirmation request, and shall contain all back-up material the Servicer, Special Servicer, Certificate Administrator or Trustee, as applicable, reasonably deems
-111-
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 8.14(b).
Promptly following the Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s determination to take any action discussed in this Section 3.26(a) following any requirement to obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation being considered satisfied, the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide electronic written notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider of the action taken for the particular item at such time, and the 17g-5 Information Provider shall post such notice on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 8.14(b).
(b) For all other matters or actions not specifically discussed in Section 3.26(a) above, the applicable Requesting Party shall obtain and deliver Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency.
3.27. Miscellaneous Provisions.
(a) Notwithstanding the terms of the related Loan Documents, the other provisions of this Agreement or the Co-Lender Agreement, with respect to any Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan as to which there exists Companion Loan Securities, if any action relating to the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loan or any Foreclosed Property (the “Relevant Action”) requires delivery of a Rating Agency Confirmation as a condition precedent to such action pursuant to this Agreement, then, except as set forth below in this paragraph, such action will also require delivery of a Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation as a condition precedent to such action from each Companion Loan Rating Agency. Each Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation shall be sought by the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, depending on whichever such party is seeking the corresponding Rating Agency Confirmation(s) in connection with the Relevant Action. The requirement to obtain a Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to the Companion Loan Securities will be subject to, will be permitted to be waived by the Servicer and the Special Servicer on, and will be deemed not to apply on, the same terms and conditions applicable to obtaining Rating Agency Confirmations, as set forth in this Agreement; provided, that the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, depending on which is seeking the subject Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation, shall forward to one or more of its counterpart (i.e., the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable), the 17g-5 Information Provider’s counterpart, or such other party or parties (as are agreed to by the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and the applicable parties for the related Companion Loan Securitization Trust), at the expense of the Companion Loan Securitization Trust to the extent not borne by the Borrower, and in such format as the sender and recipient may reasonably agree, (i) the request for such Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation and all materials forwarded to the 17g-5 Information Provider under this Agreement in connection with seeking the Rating Agency Confirmation(s) for the applicable Relevant Action at approximately the same time that such materials are forwarded to the 17g-5 Information Provider, and (ii) any other materials that the applicable Companion Loan Rating Agency may reasonably request in connection with such Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation promptly following such request.

3.28. Companion Loan Intercreditor Matters.
(a) If, pursuant to Section 2.7, or Section 3.16 of this Agreement, the Trust Loan is, in its entirety, purchased or repurchased from the Trust Fund, the subsequent holder thereof shall be bound by the terms of the Co-Lender Agreement and shall assume the rights and obligations of the holder of the Trust Notes under the Co-Lender Agreement. All portions of the Mortgage File and (to the extent provided under the Loan Purchase Agreement) other documents pertaining to the Trust Loan shall be endorsed or assigned to the extent necessary or appropriate to the purchaser of the Trust Loan in its capacity as the holder of the Trust Notes (as a result of such purchase, repurchase or substitution) and (except for the actual Trust Notes) on behalf of the holders of the Senior Pari Passu Non-Trust Notes that evidence the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loans. Thereafter, such Mortgage File shall be held by the holder of the Trust Notes or a custodian appointed thereby for the benefit thereof, on behalf of itself and the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders as their interests appear under the Co-Lender Agreement. If the related servicing file is not already in the possession of such party, it shall be delivered to the master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, under any separate servicing agreement for the Mortgage Loan.
(b) With respect to a Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan that becomes the subject of an “asset review” (or such analogous term defined in the related Companion Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement) pursuant to the related Companion Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Custodian shall reasonably cooperate with the asset representations reviewer or any other party to the Companion Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement in connection with such asset review by providing the asset representations reviewer or such other requesting party with any documents reasonably requested by the asset representations reviewer or such other requesting party, but only to the extent (i) the requesting party or asset representations reviewer has not been able to obtain such documents from the Loan Sellers or a party to the Companion Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement and (ii) such documents are in the possession of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian, as the case may be. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian shall (i) have further obligations for such asset review or be bound by the related Companion Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement or shall (ii) be obligated to provide such documents if providing such documents would, in its reasonable determination, be a violation of this Agreement or the Co-Lender Agreement.
(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, but only to the extent required under the Co-Lender Agreement, the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall consult with the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders with respect to any matters with respect to the servicing of the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loans to the extent required under the Co-Lender Agreement. The Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall deliver reports and notices to the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders to the extent required under the Co-Lender Agreement.

(iv) the principal balance of each Note after giving effect to the distribution of principal as of the end of the related Collection Period; and

Not later than each Remittance Date, the Servicer shall make the foregoing statement available to the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders by electronic means.
(e) At any time that a Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan is included as an asset of a Companion Loan Securitization Trust and provided that the applicable parties hereto have received written notice (which may be by email) thereof including contact information for the master servicer and special servicer with respect to such Companion Loan Securitization Trust, all notices, reports, information or other deliverables required to be delivered to the related Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder pursuant to this Agreement or the Co-Lender Agreement shall be delivered to the master servicer and special servicer of such Companion Loan Securitization Trust (who then may forward such items to the party entitled to receive such items as and to the extent provided in the related Companion Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and, when so delivered to such master servicer and special servicer, the party hereto that is obligated under this Agreement or the Co-Lender Agreement to deliver such notices, reports, information or other deliverables shall be deemed to have satisfied its delivery obligations with respect to such items hereunder or under the Co-Lender Agreement.
3.29. Additional Matters with Respect to the Mortgage Loan.
-114-

(i) The provisions of this Section 3.29 shall apply with respect to the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loan (and the Loan Sellers have agreed to such provisions in the Loan Purchase Agreement) until such time as all of the Trust Notes are repurchased or otherwise no longer part of the Trust, and the related successor holders thereof and the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders have entered into a servicing agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the Co-Lender Agreement.
(ii) Custody of the respective Loan Documents shall be held exclusively by the Custodian, and record title under the respective Loan Documents shall be held exclusively by the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders, as provided under this Agreement (subject to the rights of the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders with respect to the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loans), except that the Repurchasing Seller shall hold and retain title to its original Repurchased Note and any related endorsements thereof.

declared Nonrecoverable Advances, interest on Advances, Special Servicing Fees, Work-out Fees and Liquidation Fees (including any such fees related to the related Notes) and other Trust Fund Expenses, will be allocated between the holders of the Notes in accordance with the Co-lender Agreement, provided, however, such allocation shall not limit the Trustee’s, Certificate Administrator’s, Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s rights to full reimbursement of such expenses, losses and shortfalls under this Agreement.
(v) For so long as the Mortgage Loan shall be serviced by the Servicer or the Special Servicer in accordance with this Agreement, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, on behalf of the holders thereof shall administer the Mortgage Loan consistent with the terms of this Agreement. The Repurchasing Seller shall not be permitted to terminate the Servicer or Special Servicer as servicer or special servicer of the related Repurchased Note. All rights of the mortgagee under the Mortgage Loan will be exercised by the Servicer or Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust to the extent of its interest therein, the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders and on behalf of the Repurchasing Seller to the extent of its interest therein (as a collective whole) in accordance with this Agreement.

(vii) If any Note is considered a Specially Serviced Loan, then each Note shall be a Specially Serviced Loan under this Agreement and the Special Servicer shall cause such related Repurchased Note to be specially serviced for the benefit of the Repurchasing Seller in accordance with the terms and provisions set forth in this Agreement and shall be entitled to any Special Servicing Fee, Work-out Fee or Liquidation Fee that would be payable to the Special Servicer under this Agreement.
(viii) The Repurchased Note shall not be considered a Trust Note for purposes of exercising any of the consent or consultation provisions of the Co-Lender Agreement but shall be entitled to the consultation rights granted to holders of Senior Pari Passu Non-Trust Notes.
(b) If (A) the Servicer pays any amount to the Repurchasing Seller pursuant hereto 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 Notes and (B) such payment is not received or collected by the Servicer, then the Repurchasing Seller will promptly on demand by the Servicer
-116-
return such amount to the Servicer. If the Servicer determines at any time that any amount received or collected by the Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loan must be returned to the Borrower or paid to any other Person or entity pursuant to any insolvency law or otherwise, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Servicer shall not be required to distribute any portion thereof to the Repurchasing Seller, and the Repurchasing Seller will promptly on demand by the Servicer repay, which obligation shall survive the termination of this Agreement, any portion thereof that the Servicer may have distributed to the Repurchasing Seller, together with interest thereon at such rate, if any, as the Servicer may pay to the Borrower or such other Person or entity with respect thereto.

(e) In the event that the Trustee or the Servicer has made a Property Protection Advance or an Administrative Advance with respect to the Mortgage Loan that would otherwise be reimbursable to such advancing party under this Agreement, and such Advance is determined to be a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Repurchasing Seller shall reimburse the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in an amount equal to its pro rata share (based upon its respective principal balance) of such Nonrecoverable Advance and accrued interest thereon at the Advance Rate. To the extent that the Repurchasing Seller reimburses any such Nonrecoverable Advances and such amounts are subsequently recovered by the Trust, the Repurchasing Seller shall receive a reimbursement from such recovery to the same extent. If less than 100% of the Nonrecoverable Advances are reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower, the Servicer shall reimburse the Trust and the Repurchasing Seller on a pro rata basis from such amounts received from the Borrower. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, including, but not limited to the Repurchasing Seller’s reimbursement obligation described herein, the Trustee or Servicer shall have a right to reimbursement of any amounts advanced under Section 3.4(d) for the full Nonrecoverable Advance and interest thereon at the Advance Rate.

sixteenth, to the holders of the Class R Certificates (in respect of the Class UT-R Interest), any remaining amounts.
In no event will any Class of Certificates receive distributions in reduction of its Certificate Balance (i) that in the aggregate exceed the original Certificate Balance of such Class or (ii) prior to the reduction of the Certificate Balance of each Class of Certificates with an earlier alphabetical designation to such Class to zero. The Notional Amount of the Class X Certificates will be reduced by the amount of reduction in the aggregate Certificate Balance of the Class A and Class B Certificates.
(b) On each Distribution Date, each Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interest shall be deemed to receive distributions in respect of principal or reimbursement of Realized Losses in an amount equal to the amount of principal or reimbursement of Realized Losses actually distributable to its respective Related Certificates as provided in Sections 4.1(a) and 4.1(g). On each Distribution Date, each Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interest shall be deemed to receive distributions in respect of interest in an amount equal to the sum of the Interest Distribution Amount and Interest Shortfall in respect of its Related Certificates and in the case of the Class LA and Class LB Uncertificated Interests, the Interest Distribution Amount and Interest Shortfall in respect of the Class X Certificates relating to the corresponding Class X Component, to the extent actually distributable thereon as provided in Section 4.1(a). Amounts distributable pursuant to this paragraph and any Yield Maintenance Premiums distributed pursuant to Section 4.3(b) are referred to herein collectively as the “Lower-Tier Distribution Amount”, and shall be deemed to be made by the Certificate Administrator by being deemed to deposit such Lower-Tier Distribution Amount into the Upper-Tier Distribution Account on each Distribution Date.
As of any date, the principal balance of each Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interest shall equal its Lower-Tier Principal Amount. The Pass-Through Rate with respect to each Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interest shall be the rate per annum set forth in the Introductory Statement hereto.
Any amount that remains in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account on each Distribution Date after distribution of the Lower-Tier Distribution Amount shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class R Certificates (in respect of the Class LT-R Interest, but only to the extent of the amount remaining in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account, if any).
Distributions to the Class R Certificateholders (in respect of the Class LT-R Interest) from the Lower-Tier Distribution Account and to the Class R Certificate holders (in respect of the Class UT-R Interest) and to other Certificateholders from the Upper-Tier Distribution Account on each Distribution Date shall be made by the Certificate Administrator to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date (other than as provided in Section 10.1 in respect of the final distribution), by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having
-121-
appropriate facilities therefor; provided that the Certificate Administrator has received appropriate wire transfer instructions therefrom, or by check by first class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register if wiring instructions have not been received at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Distribution Date.
(c) All amounts distributable to a Class of Certificates pursuant to Section 4.1(a) on each Distribution Date shall be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates in each such Class based on their respective Percentage Interests. Such distributions shall be made on each Distribution Date to each Certificateholder of record at the close of business on the related Record Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor provided that the Certificate Administrator has received appropriate wire transfer instructions therefrom, or by check by first class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register if wiring instructions have not been received at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Distribution Date. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the location specified by the Certificate Administrator in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.
(d) The Certificate Administrator shall, as soon as reasonably possible after notice thereof by the Servicer to the Certificate Administrator that the final distribution with respect to any Class of Certificates is expected to be made, post a notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 8.14(b), deliver such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall post such notice on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 8.14(b)) and mail to each Holder of such Class of Certificates on such date a notice to the effect that:
(i) the Certificate Administrator reasonably expects based upon information previously provided to it that the final distribution with respect to such Class of Certificates shall be made on such Distribution Date, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificates at the office of the Certificate Administrator therein specified; and
(ii) if such final distribution is made on such Distribution Date, no interest shall accrue on such Certificate from and after the Certificate Interest Accrual Period related to such Distribution Date.
(e) 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 in trust for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to this Section 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 to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining non-tendering
-122-
Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. All such amounts shall be held by the Certificate Administrator in trust in accordance herewith until the expiration of a two-year period following such second notice, notwithstanding any termination of the Trust Fund. If within two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator shall hold all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof for the benefit of such Holders until the earlier of (i) its termination as Certificate Administrator hereunder and the transfer of such amounts to a successor Certificate Administrator and (ii) the termination of the Trust Fund, at which time such amounts shall be distributed to the Depositor. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust hereunder or 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 4.1(e). Any such amounts transferred to the Certificate Administrator may, but need not be, invested in Permitted Investments and all income and gain realized from investment of such funds shall be for the benefit of the Certificate Administrator. In the event the Certificate Administrator is permitted or required to invest any amounts in Permitted Investments under this Agreement, whether in its capacity as Certificate Administrator or in the event of its assumption of the duties of, or becoming the successor to, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, it shall invest such amounts in Permitted Investments under clause (i) of the definition of Permitted Investments.
(f) The Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for the calculations with respect to distributions from the Trust so long as the Trust Fund has not been terminated in accordance with this Agreement. The Certificate Administrator shall have no duty to recompile, recalculate or verify the accuracy of information provided to it by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.18(a) and, in the absence of manifest error in such information, may conclusively rely upon it.
(g) On each Distribution Date, Realized Losses allocated to the Trust Loan shall be allocated to reduce the Certificate Balance of each Class of Sequential Pay Certificates in the following order:
first, to the Class E Certificates;
second, to the Class D Certificates;
third, to the Class C Certificates;
fourth, to the Class B Certificates; and
fifth, to the Class A Certificates;
in each case until the Certificate Balance of the related Class has been reduced to zero.
On any Distribution Date, allocations of Realized Losses to any Class of Sequential Pay Certificates (or portion thereof) that corresponds to a Class X Component shall result in a corresponding reduction in the Notional Amount of the Class X Certificates on the
-123-
same Distribution Date. Allocations of Realized Losses to any Class of Sequential Pay Certificates shall be deemed to result in a corresponding reduction of the Lower-Tier Principal Amount of the Related Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interest.
To the extent any Realized Losses are subsequently recovered, the amount of such recovery shall be reimbursed to the Certificateholders in the following order: first, to the Class A Certificates, second, to the Class B Certificates, third, to the Class C Certificates, fourth, to the Class D Certificates and fifth, to the Class E Certificates (and the Related Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests), in each case up to the amount of any Realized Losses, if any, that have been allocated to such Class of Certificates.
4.2. Withholding Tax. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall comply with all federal withholding requirements with respect to payments to Certificateholders or any payee that the Certificate Administrator reasonably believes are applicable under the Code. The consent of Certificateholders shall not be required for any such withholding. In the event the Certificate Administrator withholds any amount from interest payments or advances thereof to any Certificateholder pursuant to federal withholding requirements, amounts so withheld shall be treated as having been entirely distributed to such Certificateholder, and the Certificate Administrator shall indicate the amount withheld to such Certificateholder through a report.
(b) Each Beneficial Owner and Certificateholder, by the purchase of a Certificate or its acceptance of a beneficial interest therein, acknowledges that interest on the Certificates will be treated as United States source interest, and, as such, United States withholding tax may apply. Each such Beneficial Owner and Certificateholder further agrees, upon request, to provide any certifications that may be required under applicable law, regulations or procedures to evidence its status for United States withholding tax purposes and understands that if it ceases to satisfy the foregoing requirements or provide requested documentation, payments to it under the Certificates may be subject to United States withholding tax (without any corresponding gross-up). Without limiting the foregoing, if a payment made under this Agreement would be subject to United States federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if the recipient of such payment were to fail to comply with FATCA (including the requirements of Sections 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such recipient shall deliver to the Certificate Administrator, with a copy to the Trustee, at the time or times prescribed by the Code and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, such documentation prescribed by the Code (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator to comply with their respective obligations under FATCA, to determine that such recipient has complied with such recipient’s obligations under FATCA, or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.
4.3. Allocation and Distribution of Yield Maintenance Premiums. (a) On any Distribution Date, any Yield Maintenance Premiums collected in respect of the Trust Loan during the related Collection Period shall be distributed to the holders of each Class of Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) in the following manner: (i) the Certificateholders of each Class of Sequential Pay Certificates shall be entitled to receive on each Distribution Date, an amount of Yield Maintenance Premiums for the Trust Loan prepayments,
-124-
in an amount equal to the product of (x) a fraction whose numerator is the amount of principal distributed to
such Class on such Distribution Date and whose denominator is the total amount of principal distributed to all of the Certificates
representing principal payments collected in respect of the Trust Loan on such Distribution Date, (y) the Base Interest Fraction
for the related principal prepayment on such Class of Certificates, and (z) the Yield Maintenance Premiums collected during the
related Collection Period, and (ii) any Yield Maintenance Premiums collected during the related Collection Period remaining after
such distributions will be distributed to the Class X Certificates so long as the Class A and Class B Certificates are outstanding.
If there is more than one such Class of Certificates entitled to distributions of principal on any particular Distribution Date
on which Yield Maintenance Premiums are distributable, the aggregate amount of such Yield Maintenance Premiums shall be allocated
among all such Classes of Certificates up to, and on a pro rata basis in accordance with, their respective entitlements
thereto in accordance with the first sentence of this paragraph. For the avoidance of doubt, the Class X Certificates shall not
be entitled to any Yield Maintenance Premiums after its Notional Amount has been reduced to zero.
(b) All Yield Maintenance Premiums distributable pursuant to Section 4.3(a) shall first be deemed to have been distributed from the Lower-Tier REMIC to the Upper-Tier REMIC in respect of the Class LA Uncertificated Interest (whether or not the Lower-Tier Principal Amount of such Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interest has been reduced to zero).
4.4. Statements to Certificateholders. (a) On each Distribution Date, based on information provided by the Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, the Certificate Administrator shall prepare in accordance with CREFC® guidelines as of the Closing Date and forward or make available through its internet website, which is located at xxx.xxxxxx.xxx/xxx to any Privileged Person (including for this purpose, the property manager, Borrower Related Parties and any of their respective Affiliates), a statement, prepared by the Certificate Administrator, based upon information supplied to it by the Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable (with respect to items not prepared by the Certificate Administrator, to the extent such items were delivered to the Certificate Administrator in a readable, uploadable, un-corrupted and un-locked electronic format), in respect of the distributions on such Distribution Date (a “Distribution Date Statement”) setting forth:

The Certificate Administrator, the Servicer and the Special Servicer may agree to enhance the reporting requirements of the Distribution Date Statement without Certificateholder approval.
Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar year, the Certificate Administrator shall furnish to each Person who at any time during the calendar year was a Holder of a Certificate upon written request to the Certificate Administrator, a statement containing the information set forth in clauses (i), (ii), (iv) and (viii) above as to the applicable Class, aggregated for such calendar year or applicable portion of such year during which such Person was a Certificateholder, together with such other information as the Certificate Administrator deems necessary or desirable, or that a Certificateholder or beneficial owner of a Certificate reasonably requests, to enable Certificateholders to prepare their tax returns for such calendar year. Such obligation of the Certificate Administrator shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent that substantially comparable information shall be provided by the Certificate Administrator pursuant to any requirements of the Code as from time to time are in force.
(b) The Certificate Administrator shall make available to Privileged Persons (including for this purpose the Manager, Borrower Related Parties and any of their respective affiliates who provides the Certificate Administrator with an Investor Certification in the form of Exhibit J-1C or Exhibit J-1D hereto) on each Distribution Date, pursuant to Section 8.14(b), (i) the CREFC® Reports with respect to such Distribution Date received from the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.18(a) and (ii) when received from the Special Servicer, the summary of the Asset Status Report received from the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.10. The Certificate Administrator’s obligation to provide such information to Certificateholders and others shall be contingent on the Certificate Administrator’s receipt of such information from the Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to rely on such information provided to it by the Servicer or the Special Servicer without independent verification. To the extent that the information required to be furnished by the Servicer is based on information required to be provided by the Borrower or the Special Servicer, the Servicer’s obligation to furnish such information to the Certificate Administrator shall be contingent on its receipt of such information from the Borrower or the Special Servicer, as applicable. To the

extent that information required to be furnished by the Special Servicer is based on information required to be provided by the Borrower, the Special Servicer’s obligation to furnish such information shall be contingent upon its receipt of such information from the Borrower. The Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to rely on information supplied by the Borrower without independent verification.

If so authorized by the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator may make available on its internet website to the Initial Purchasers, the Servicer, the Special Servicer and each Certificateholder certain other information with respect to the Mortgage Loan (subject to the limitations of Section 3.18) and will provide such information to the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall post it to the 17g-5 Information Website pursuant to Section 8.14(b)).
In addition, the Certificate Administrator shall make available on its website such information as set forth in Section 8.14(b) herein.
4.5. Investor Q&A Forum; Investor Registry and Rating Agency Q&A Forum. (a) The Certificate Administrator shall make available, only to Privileged Persons (which for this purpose excludes Borrower Related Parties, the Manager and their respective agents or affiliates who provided the Certificate Administrator with an Investor Certification in the form of Exhibit J-1C or Exhibit J-1D hereto), 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 who provide the Certificate Administrator with an Investor Certification in the form of Exhibit J-1A or Exhibit J-1B may submit questions to the Certificate Administrator relating to the Distribution Date Statement, or submit questions to the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, relating to the reports being made available pursuant to Section 8.14(b)(ii)(B), the Trust Loan or the Property (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. The Certificate Administrator may conclusively rely on such Investor Certification and may require that Investor Certifications be resubmitted from time to time in accordance with its policies and procedures. Upon receipt of an Inquiry for the Servicer or the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator shall forward the Inquiry to the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, in each case via email within a commercially reasonable period of time following receipt thereof. Following receipt of an Inquiry, the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, unless it determines not to answer such Inquiry as provided below, shall reply to the Inquiry, which reply of the Servicer or Special Servicer shall be by email to the Certificate Administrator. 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 Servicer or the Special Servicer determines, in its respective sole discretion, that (i) any Inquiry is beyond
-128-
the scope of the topics described above, (ii) answering any Inquiry would not be in the best interests of the Trust Fund and/or the Certificateholders and the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders, (iii) answering any Inquiry would be in violation of applicable law, the Loan Documents or this Agreement, (iv) answering any Inquiry would, or is reasonably expected to, result in a waiver of attorney client privilege or the disclosure of attorney work product, (v) answering any Inquiry would materially increase the duties of, or result in significant additional cost or expense to, the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, (vi) answering any Inquiry would result in the disclosure of Privileged Information or communications between the Directing Holder and the Special Servicer, (vii) answering any Inquiry would result in the disclosure of Privileged Information or communications between the Directing Holder and the Special Servicer, (viii) answering any Inquiry is otherwise, for any reason, not advisable or (ix) answering any Inquiry would violate the applicable confidentiality provisions, it shall not be required to answer such Inquiry and, in the case of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, shall promptly notify the Certificate Administrator of such determination. The Certificate Administrator shall notify the Person who submitted such Inquiry in the event that the Inquiry will not be answered. Any notice by the Certificate Administrator to the Person who submitted an Inquiry that will not be answered shall include the following statement: “Because the Trust and Servicing Agreement provides that the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer and the Special Servicer 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 Trust and Servicing Agreement, (ii) answering any Inquiry would not be in the best interests of the Trust and/or the Certificateholders and the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders, (iii) answering any Inquiry would be in violation of applicable law or the Loan Documents, (iv) answering any Inquiry would, or is reasonably expected to, result in a waiver of attorney client privilege or the disclosure of attorney work product, (v) answering any Inquiry would materially increase the duties of, or result in significant additional cost or expense to, the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, (vi) answering any Inquiry is otherwise, for any reason, not advisable or (vii) answering any Inquiry would violate the applicable confidentiality provisions, no inference should be drawn from the fact that the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer or the Special Servicer has declined to answer the Inquiry.” Answers posted on the Investor Q&A Forum will be attributable only to the respondent, and shall not be deemed to be answers from any of the Depositor, the Initial Purchasers or any of their respective Affiliates. None of the Initial Purchasers, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer or any of their respective Affiliates will certify to any of the information posted in the Investor Q&A Forum and no such party shall have any responsibility or liability for the content of any such information. The Certificate Administrator shall not be required to post to the Certificate Administrator’s Website any Inquiry or answer thereto that the Certificate Administrator determines, in its sole discretion, is administrative or ministerial in nature. The Investor Q&A Forum will not reflect questions, answers and other communications that are not submitted via the Certificate Administrator’s Website. The Special Servicer shall not post or otherwise disclose direct communications with the Directing Holder as part of its response to any Inquiries; provided, that the Certificate Administrator shall have no obligation to review any inquiry or answer received by it for posting to the Investor Q&A Forum to determine if such inquiry or answer contains any such direct communication with the Directing Holder, or otherwise to consult with the party from whom such Inquiry or answer is received to confirm the same, and the Certificate Administrator shall have no liability in connection with its posting to the Investor
-129-
Q&A Forum of any Inquiry or answer containing such direct communication. The Investor Q&A Forum will not reflect questions, answers and other communications that are not submitted via the Certificate Administrator’s Website.
(b) The Certificate Administrator shall make available to any Certificateholder and any Beneficial Owner, the Investor Registry. The “Investor Registry” shall be a voluntary service available on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, where Certificateholders and Beneficial Owners can register and thereafter obtain information with respect to any other Certificateholder or Beneficial Owner that has so registered.

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

Upon receipt of a Rating Agency Inquiry for the Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator, the 17g-5 Information Provider shall forward the Rating Agency Inquiry to the appropriate person, in each case within a commercially reasonable period of time following receipt thereof. Following receipt of a Rating Agency Inquiry from the 17g-5
-130-
Information Provider, the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, unless it determines not to answer such Rating Agency Inquiry as provided below, shall reply by email to the 17g-5 Information Provider. The 17g-5 Information Provider shall post (within a commercially reasonable period of time following receipt of such response) such Rating Agency Inquiry and the related response (or such reports, as applicable) to the Rating Agency Q&A Forum and Document Request Tool. If the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer or the Special Servicer determines, in its respective sole discretion, that (I) answering any Rating Agency Inquiry would be in violation of applicable law, the Accepted Servicing Practices, this Agreement or the Loan Documents, (II) answering any Rating Agency Inquiry would or is reasonably expected to result in a waiver of an attorney-client privilege with, or the disclosure of attorney work product of, any counsel engaged by the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, or (III) (A) answering any Rating Agency Inquiry would materially increase the duties of, or result in significant additional cost or expense to, the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and (B) the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, determines in accordance with the Accepted Servicing Practices (or in good faith, in the case of the Certificate Administrator) that the performance of such duties or the payment of such costs and expenses is beyond the scope of its duties in its capacity as Certificate Administrator, Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, under this Agreement, it shall not be required to answer such Rating Agency Inquiry and shall promptly notify the 17g-5 Information Provider by email of such determination. The 17g-5 Information Provider shall promptly thereafter post the Rating Agency Inquiry with the reason it was not answered to the Rating Agency Q&A Forum and Document Request Tool. The 17g-5 Information Provider will not be liable for the failure by any other such Person to answer any such Rating Agency Inquiry.

to a transfer of an interest in the Regulation S Global Certificate, information regarding the participant account of the
Depository to be debited with such decrease and (3) with respect to a transfer of an interest in the Temporary Regulation S
Global Certificate (but not the Regulation S Global Certificate) for an interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate,

Person transferring such interest in the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate reasonably believes that the Person acquiring
such interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate is a QIB and is obtaining such beneficial interest in a transaction meeting

The transferee of a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate representing a Class E Certificate shall be deemed to represent that it is not and will not be a Plan or a Person acting on behalf of any Plan or using the assets of any Plan to acquire such interest other than an insurance company using the assets of its general account under circumstances whereby such transfer to such insurance company would be exempt from the “prohibited transaction” provisions of Sections 406 and 407 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60, or a substantially similar exemption under Similar Law. No Class A, Class B, Class C, Class D or Class X Certificates 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 any such plan or using the assets of a Plan to purchase such Certificate, unless (A) the purchaser is an accredited investor (as defined in Rule 501(a)(1) under the Act) and (B) the acquisition, holding and disposition of such Certificate by the purchaser will not constitute or otherwise result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (or a similar non-exempt violation of Similar Law). 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.
(n) 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:
-138-
(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 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 of a Residual Ownership Interest 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 M-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 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. 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 5.3(n) 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 M-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 the 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
-139-
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 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 60 days after a request for information from the transferor of such Residual Ownership Interest or such agent, the Certificate Registrar and the Certificate Administrator agree to furnish to the IRS 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.
(iv) The Class R Certificates may only be issued as Definitive Certificates, and transferred to and owned by QIBs.
(v) No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any Certificate or interest therein shall be made unless that transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is exempt from the registration and/or qualification requirements of the Act and any applicable state securities laws, or is otherwise made in accordance with the Act and such state securities laws. Neither the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator nor the Certificate Registrar are obligated to register or qualify the Certificates under the Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under this Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration or qualification.
5.4. 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 Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Certificate Registrar shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor and interest in the Trust Fund. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 5.4, the Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Certificate Registrar) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 5.4 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust Fund, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.
5.5. Persons Deemed Owners. The Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such

5.6. Access to List of Certificateholders’ Names and Addresses; Special Notices. The Certificate Registrar shall maintain in as current form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of the Certificateholders.

The costs and expenses of the Certificate Administrator associated with delivering any such Special Notice shall be borne by the party requesting such Special Notice. Every Certificateholder and Beneficial Owner, by receiving and holding or beneficially owning a Certificate, agrees that neither the Certificate Administrator nor the Certificate Registrar shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such Special Notice to Certificateholders, regardless of the information set forth in such Special Notice.
5.7. Maintenance of Office or Agency.

-144-
carried on by it. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Trustee, the Depositor and, during any Subordinate Control Period, the Directing Holder. No resignation by the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, under this Agreement shall become effective until a successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, under this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.2.

(x) so long as a Companion Loan Securitization Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, or any primary servicer, Sub-Servicer or Servicing Function Participant (such entity, the “Sub-Servicing Entity”) retained by the Servicer or Special Servicer, shall fail to deliver the items required to be delivered by this Agreement to enable such Companion

(c) If a Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event shall occur then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event shall not have been remedied, either (i) the Trustee may, or (ii) upon the written direction of Holders of Certificates having at least 25% of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of the Appraisal Reduction Amount to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances of the Certificates) of the Certificates, the Trustee shall terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, under this Agreement, other than rights and obligations accrued prior to such termination, and in and to the Mortgage Loan and the proceeds thereof by notice in writing to the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable. Upon any termination of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, or appointment of a successor to the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, the Trustee shall notify the Certificate Administrator and the Certificate Administrator shall, as soon as possible, post such written notice thereof on the Certificate Administrator’s Website and provide the same to the 17g-5 Information Provider who shall post written notice thereof to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 8.14(b), and thereafter, give written notice to the Rating Agencies, Depositor, the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders and the Certificateholders. During any Subordinate Control Period, the Directing Holder shall have the right to select the successor special servicer following any Special Servicer Termination Event.
(d) If a Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Servicer or the Special Servicer affects only a Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan, any holder thereof or the rating on a class of Companion Loan Securities, then the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, may not be terminated at the direction of the holders of any Certificates or any Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder (acting in such capacities) but a Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder (or if such Senior Pari Passu Non-Trust Note is held by more than one party, the holders
-148-
of a majority of the interest in such Senior Pari Passu Non-Trust Note) shall be entitled to direct that the Trustee direct the Servicer to appoint a sub-servicer (or if the Mortgage Loan is currently being sub-serviced, then the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder shall be entitled to direct that the Trustee direct the Servicer to replace such sub-servicer with a new sub-servicer but only if such original sub-servicer is in default (beyond any applicable cure periods) under the related sub-servicing agreement, and the Servicer shall be permitted to terminate the sub-servicing agreement due to such default) that will be responsible for servicing the Mortgage Loan.
(e) During any Subordinate Control Period, the Directing Holder shall have the right to direct the Trustee to terminate the Special Servicer (subject to such terminated Special Servicer’s rights to indemnification, payment of outstanding fees, and other rights set forth in this Agreement which survive termination) at any time, with or without cause, and the Directing Holder shall have the right to, and shall, appoint a successor special servicer who shall execute and deliver to the other parties hereto an agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, whereby the successor Special Servicer agrees to assume and perform punctually the duties of the Special Servicer specified in this Agreement; provided that the Trustee shall be provided with a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and each rating agency relating to the Companion Loan Securities prior to the termination of the Special Servicer. The Special Servicer shall not be terminated pursuant to this paragraph until a successor special servicer shall have been appointed. The Directing Holder shall pay any costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee or the Trust in connection with the removal and appointment of a Special Servicer pursuant to this paragraph (unless such removal is based on any of the events or circumstances set forth in Section 7.1(a)). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no successor special servicer appointed by the Directing Holder pursuant to Section 6.4, Section 7.1(c) or this Section 7.1(e) or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement shall be required to meet any independent net worth requirements; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, any successor special servicer shall satisfy any Rating Agency conditions set forth in the Rating Agency Confirmation delivered by such Rating Agency with respect to such successor special servicer.
(f) After the termination of a Subordinate Control Period, upon (i) the written direction of holders of Sequential Pay Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances of the Certificates) of the Sequential Pay Certificates requesting a vote to replace the Special Servicer with a new special servicer designated in such written direction, (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 and (iii) delivery by such holders to the Certificate Administrator of Rating Agency Confirmations from each Rating Agency and each rating agency relating to the Companion Loan Securities with respect to the appointment of such new special servicer (which Rating Agency Confirmation shall be obtained at the expense of such holders), the Certificate Administrator shall promptly post written notice of the same to the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 8.14(b), provide written notice to all Certificateholders of such request by mail, and shall conduct the solicitation of votes of all Certificates in such regard. If 66 2/3% of the aggregate Voting Rights have been exercised by the related Certificateholders, then, upon the written direction of holders of Certificates evidencing at least 75% of the aggregate Voting Rights (taking into account the application of Realized Losses and the application of any
-149-
Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances of the Certificates) of all Certificates whose holders exercise their right to vote (which direction must be received by the Certificate Administrator within 180 days of the request for a vote), the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Trustee and the Trustee shall terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement and appoint the successor Special Servicer designated by such Certificateholders; provided (i) such successor special servicer is a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer, (ii) such successor special servicer shall not also be a Borrower Related Party and (iii) subject to the replaced Special Servicer’s indemnification, payment of outstanding fees and other rights set forth in this Agreement which survive termination; provided, further that if such written direction is not provided within 180 days of posting such notice to terminate and replace the Special Servicer, then such written direction shall have no force and effect. The provisions set forth in the foregoing sentences of this paragraph shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of solely the Certificateholders and the Trustee as between each other. The Special Servicer shall not have any cause of action based upon or arising from any breach or alleged breach of such provisions. As between the Special Servicer, 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 Special Servicer. The Holders of the Certificates that initiated the vote to replace the Special Servicer shall pay the costs and expenses incurred in connection with the removal and replacement of the Special Servicer pursuant to this paragraph. The Certificate Administrator shall include on each Distribution Date Statement a statement that each Certificateholder may access such notices on the Certificate Administrator’s Website and that each Certificateholder may register to receive e-mail notifications when such notices are posted thereon.
(g) In the event that the Servicer or Special Servicer is terminated pursuant to this Section 7.1, the Trustee (the “Terminating Party”) shall, by notice in writing to the Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be (the “Terminated Party”) (with a copy to the Borrower), terminate all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loan and the proceeds thereof, other than any rights the Terminated Party may have hereunder as a Certificateholder and any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination (including the right to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement with respect to periods prior to the date of such termination and the right to the benefits of Section 6.3 notwithstanding any such termination). On or after the receipt by the Terminated Party of such written notice, subject to the foregoing, all of its authority and power under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates (except that the Terminated Party shall retain its rights as a Certificateholder in the event and to the extent that it is a Certificateholder) or the Mortgage Loan or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Terminating Party pursuant to and under this Section (absent the appointment of a successor, and such successor’s assumption of obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, by the Directing Holder during any Subordinate Control Period ) and, without limitation, the Terminating Party is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of and at the expense of the Terminated 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 Loan and related documents, or otherwise. The Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, each agrees that, in the event it is terminated pursuant to this Section 7.1, or resigns under Section 6.4(b), to promptly (and in any event no later than ten Business Days subsequent to such
-150-
notice) provide, at its own expense, the Terminating Party (which term shall include for the purposes of the remainder of this Section 7.1(g), the Trustee (or a successor Servicer or Special Servicer) in connection with a resignation of the Servicer or the Special Servicer under Section 6.4(b)) with all documents and records requested by the Terminating Party to enable the Terminating Party to assume its functions hereunder, and to cooperate with the Terminating Party and the successor to its responsibilities hereunder in effecting the termination of its responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, or the Terminating Party, as applicable, for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be or should have been credited by the Terminated Party (which term shall include, for the purposes of the remainder of this Section 7.1(g), the resigning party in connection with a resignation of the Servicer or the Special Servicer under Section 6.4(b)) to the Collection Account, the Companion Loan Account, any Foreclosed Property Account or shall thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loan, and shall promptly provide the Terminating Party or such successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable (which may include the Trustee), as applicable, all documents and records reasonably requested by it, such documents and records to be provided in such form as the Terminating Party or such successor Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall reasonably request (including electromagnetic form), to enable it to assume the function of the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder. All reasonable costs and expenses of the Terminating Party or the successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, incurred in connection with transferring the Mortgage File to the Terminating Party or to the successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, and amending this Agreement to reflect such succession pursuant to this Section 7.1 shall be paid by the Terminated Party upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses. If the Terminated Party has not reimbursed the Terminating Party or such successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, for such expenses within 90 days after the presentation of reasonable documentation, such expense shall be reimbursed by the Trust pursuant to Section 3.4(d); provided that the Terminated Party shall not thereby be relieved of its liability for such expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Special Servicer is terminated without cause pursuant to Section 7.1(e), all costs and expenses incurred or payable by the terminated Special Servicer under this Section 7.1 shall be paid by the Trust Fund.
(h) In no event shall the Trustee be deemed to have knowledge of or be aware of any Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has received written notice thereof or has actual knowledge thereof.
7.2. Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. (a) On and after the time the Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.1, or resigns pursuant to Section 6.4(b), the Terminating Party (which term shall include, for the purposes of the remainder of this Section 7.2, the Trustee (or a successor Servicer or Special Servicer including a successor appointed under Section 6.4(a)) in connection with a resignation of the Servicer or the Special Servicer under Section 6.4(b)) shall, unless prohibited by law, be the successor to the Terminated Party (which term shall include, for the purposes of the remainder of this Section 7.2, the resigning party in connection with a resignation of the Servicer of the Special Servicer under Section 6.4(b)) in all respects under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and, except as provided herein, shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties, limitations on liability and liabilities relating
-151-
thereto and arising thereafter placed on the Terminated Party by the terms and provisions hereof; provided, however, that (i) neither the Trustee nor the Terminating Party (or any successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be) shall have responsibilities, duties, liabilities or obligations with respect to any act or omission of the Terminated Party and (ii) any failure to perform, or delay in performing, such duties or responsibilities caused by the Terminated Party’s failure to provide, or delay in providing, records, tapes, disks, information or monies or failure to cooperate as required by this Agreement shall not be considered a default by the Terminating Party or such successor hereunder. The Trustee, as successor Servicer, and any other successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall be indemnified to the full extent provided to the Trustee under this Agreement. The appointment of a successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall not affect any liability of the Terminated Party that may have arisen prior to its termination as such. The Terminating Party shall not be liable for any of the representations and warranties of the Terminated Party herein or in any related document or agreement, for any acts or omissions of the Terminated Party or for any losses incurred in respect of any Permitted Investment by the Terminated Party nor shall the Terminating Party or any successor Servicer or Special Servicer be required to purchase the Mortgage Loan hereunder. As compensation therefor, the Terminating Party as successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall be entitled to all compensation with respect to the Mortgage Loan to which the Terminated Party would have been entitled that accrues after the date of the Terminating Party’s succession to which the Terminated Party would have been entitled if it had continued to act hereunder and, in the case of a successor Special Servicer, the Special Servicing Fee. Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so act, or if the Holders of Certificates having greater than 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights of all then outstanding Certificates so request in writing to the Trustee, or the Trustee is not approved by the Rating Agencies as a Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation or if a Rating Agency Confirmation is not obtained, promptly appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established loan servicing institution reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee the appointment for which a Rating Agency Confirmation is obtained, as the successor to the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder. No appointment of a successor to a Terminated Party hereunder shall be effective until the assumption by such successor of all the Terminated Party’s responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder. Pending appointment of a successor to a Terminated Party hereunder, unless the Trustee shall be prohibited by law from so acting, the Trustee shall act in the applicable capacity as herein above provided. Any appointment or succession by the Trustee to the rights and obligations of the Special Servicer hereunder shall be subject to the Directing Holder’s right to replace the Special Servicer during any Subordinate Control Period. In connection with such appointment and assumption described herein, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on the Mortgage Loan as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the Terminated Party hereunder, except that if no successor to the Terminated Party can be obtained to perform the obligations of such Terminated Party hereunder, additional amounts shall be paid to such successor and such amounts in excess of that permitted the Terminated Party shall be paid pursuant to Section 3.4(d). The Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the
-152-
Servicer (as applicable), the Special Servicer (as applicable) and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.
(b) Notwithstanding Section 7.1(b) of this Agreement, if a Servicer receives a notice of termination solely due to a Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event, as applicable, under Section 7.1(a)(vii) or (viii) and the terminated Servicer provides the Trustee with the appropriate “request for proposal” materials within five (5) Business Days after such termination, then such Servicer shall continue to serve as Servicer, if requested to do so by the Trustee, and the Trustee shall promptly thereafter (using such “request for proposal” materials provided by the terminated Servicer) solicit good faith bids for the rights to master service the Mortgage Loan from at least three (3) Persons qualified to act as successor servicer hereunder in accordance with Section 6.2 and Section 7.2 for which the Trustee has received Rating Agency Confirmation (any such Person so qualified, a “Qualified Bidder”) or, if three (3) Qualified Bidders cannot be located, then from as many Persons as the Trustee can determine are Qualified Bidders; provided, however, that (i) at the Trustee’s request, the terminated Servicer shall supply the Trustee with the names of Persons from whom to solicit such bids; and (ii) the Trustee shall not be responsible if less than three (3) or no Qualified Bidders submit bids for the right to master service the Mortgage Loan under this Agreement. The bid proposal shall require any Successful Bidder (as defined below), as a condition of such bid, to enter into this Agreement as successor Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan, and to agree to be bound by the terms hereof, within forty-five (45) days after the receipt by the terminated Servicer of a notice of termination. The Trustee shall solicit bids (i) on the basis of such successor servicer entering into a sub-servicing agreement with the terminated Servicer to service the Mortgage Loan at a sub-servicing fee rate per annum equal to the Servicing Fee minus the Retained Fee Rate (each, a “Servicing-Retained Bid”) and (ii) on the basis of having no obligation to enter into a sub-servicing agreement with the terminated Servicer (each, a “Servicing-Released Bid”). The Trustee shall select the Qualified Bidder with the highest cash Servicing-Retained Bid (or, if none, the highest cash Servicing Released Bid) (the “Successful Bidder”) to act as successor servicer hereunder. The Successful Bidder shall enter into this Agreement as successor servicer pursuant to the terms hereof (and, if the successful bid was a Servicing-Retained Bid, to enter into a sub-servicing agreement with the terminated Servicer as contemplated above), no later than forty-five (45) days after the termination of the terminated Servicer. Upon the assignment and acceptance of the servicing rights hereunder to and by the Successful Bidder, and upon payment of the proceeds by the Successful Bidder to the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Administrator shall remit or cause to be remitted to the terminated Servicer the amount of such cash bid received from the Successful Bidder (net of “out of pocket” expenses incurred in connection with obtaining such bid and transferring servicing).
If the Trustee or an Affiliate acts pursuant to this Section 7.2 as successor to the resigning or terminated Servicer, it may reduce such terminated Servicer’s Retained Fee Rate to the extent that its or such Affiliate’s compensation as successor Servicer would otherwise be below market rate servicing compensation. If the Trustee elects to appoint a successor to the resigning or terminated Servicer other than itself or an Affiliate pursuant to this Section 7.2, it may reduce the Retained Fee Rate to the extent reasonably necessary (in the sole discretion of the Trustee) for the Trustee to appoint a qualified successor Servicer that meets the requirements of this Section 7.2.
-153-
7.3. Reserved.
7.4. Other Remedies of Trustee. During the continuance of any Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event, as the case may be, or so long as such Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event shall not have been remedied, the Trustee, in addition to the rights specified in Section 7.1, shall have the right, in its own name as trustee of an express trust, to take all actions now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute to enforce its rights and remedies and to protect the interests, and enforce the rights and remedies, of the Certificateholders and the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders (including the institution and prosecution of all judicial, administrative and other proceedings and the filing of proofs of claim and debt in connection therewith). In such event, the legal fees, expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust, and the Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor pursuant to Section 3.4(d) from the Collection Account. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no remedy provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy and no delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy shall impair any such right or remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event.
7.5. Waiver of Past Servicer Termination Events and Special Servicer Termination Events. The Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 66 2/3% of the aggregate Voting Rights of all then outstanding Certificates may, on behalf of all Certificateholders and upon adequate indemnification of the Trustee by the requesting Holders of Certificates, waive any default by the Servicer or the Special Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences, except a default in making any required deposits (including Monthly Payment Advances on the Trust Loan) to or payments from the Collection Account, the Distribution Account or any Foreclosed Property Account or in remitting payments as received, in each case in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and the related Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right related thereto.
7.6. Trustee as Maker of Advances. In the event that the Servicer fails to fulfill its obligations hereunder to make any Advances, the Trustee shall perform such obligations (w) within five Business Days (or such shorter period (but not less than one Business Day) as may be required, if applicable, to avoid any lapse in insurance coverage required under the Loan Documents or this Agreement with respect to the Property or to avoid any foreclosure or similar action with respect to the Property by reason of failure to pay real estate taxes, assessments, ground or leasehold rents or governmental charges) of a Responsible Officer of the Trustee obtaining knowledge of such failure by the Servicer or the Special Servicer with respect to any Advances (other than any Monthly Payment Advances on the Trust Loan) and (x) by 12:00 noon New York time on the related Distribution Date with respect to Monthly Payment Advances on the Trust Loan. If the Certificate Administrator has not received any required Monthly Payment Advance on the Trust Loan from the Servicer by 11:00 a.m. on the related Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall provide notice to that effect to the Trustee,
-154-
and if the required Monthly Payment Advance on the Trust Loan is still not received by the Certificate Administrator by 11:45 a.m. on the related Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall again provide notice to that effect to the Trustee, who shall then perform the obligations set forth in the preceding sentence. With respect to any such Advance made by the Trustee, the Trustee shall succeed to all of the Servicer’s and/or the Special Servicer’s rights, as applicable, with respect to Advances hereunder, including, without limitation, the rights of reimbursement and interest on each Advance at the Advance Rate, and rights to determine that a proposed Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance (without regard to any impairment of any such rights of reimbursement caused by such Servicer’s and/or the Special Servicer’s default in its obligations hereunder and further subject to the Trustee’s standard of good faith judgment); provided, however, that if Advances made by the Trustee and/or the 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 (in that order) until such Advances shall have been repaid in full, together with all interest accrued thereon, prior to reimbursement of the Servicer and/or the Special Servicer, as applicable, for such Advances and interest accrued thereon. The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any notice given by the Servicer and/or the Special Servicer, as applicable, with respect to a Nonrecoverable Advance hereunder.
8. THE TRUSTEE AND Certificate Administrator
8.1. Duties of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator. (a) Each of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event, as the case may be, and after the curing or waiver of any Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event that may have occurred, undertakes with respect to the Trust Fund to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. Neither the Depositor nor the Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be obligated to monitor or supervise the performance by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator of its duties hereunder. In case a Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event has occurred (which has not been cured or waived), the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Sections 7.2 and 7.4, shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and shall use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent institution would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such institution’s own affairs. Any permissive right of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator set forth in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty. The Trustee (or the Servicer or the Special Servicer on its behalf) shall have the power to exercise all the rights of a holder of the Mortgage Loan on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders, subject to the terms of the Loan Documents and the Co-Lender Agreement; provided, however, that the Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall be exercised by the Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, pursuant to this Agreement.
(b) Subject to Sections 8.2(a) and 8.3, each of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator that are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, shall examine, or cause to be examined, such instruments to determine whether they conform to the requirements of this Agreement to the extent specifically set forth herein. If any such instrument
-155-
is found on its face not to conform to the requirements of this Agreement in a material manner, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, may take such action as it deems appropriate to have the instrument corrected, and if the instrument is not corrected to the Trustee’s or the Certificate Administrator’s reasonable satisfaction, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall provide notice thereof to the Certificateholders. Neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for the accuracy or content of any resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument furnished by the Depositor, the Servicer, or the Special Servicer and accepted by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, in good faith, pursuant to this Agreement.
(c) Subject to Section 8.3, 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, its failure to perform its obligations in compliance with this Agreement, its own willful misconduct or bad faith; provided, however, that:
(i) no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator and each of 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 and/or the Certificate Administrator (including those provided pursuant to Section 10.1) and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement which it reasonably believes in good faith to be genuine and to have been duly executed by the proper authorities respecting any matters arising hereunder;
(ii) the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall not be liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator or such Responsible Officer, as applicable, was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;
(iii) the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall not be liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with this Agreement or at the direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing, in the aggregate, not less than 25% of the Voting Rights of the Certificates, relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, under this Agreement;
(iv) the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall not be charged with knowledge of any failure by the Servicer or the Special Servicer to comply with any of their respective obligations referred to in Section 7.1 or any other act or circumstance upon the occurrence of which the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, may be required to take action unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, obtains actual knowledge of such failure, act or circumstance or the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, receives written notice of such failure from the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the
-156-
Borrower or Holders of the Certificates evidencing, in the aggregate, not less than 25% of the Voting Rights of the Certificates;
(v) subject to the other provisions of this Agreement and without limiting the generality of Sections 8.1 and 8.2, the Trustee shall have no duty except in the capacity as a successor Servicer or successor Special Servicer (A) to record, file or deposit this Agreement or any agreement referred to herein or any financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest, or to maintain of any such recording or filing or depositing or any re-recording, refiling or redepositing thereof, (B) to maintain any insurance, and (C) to confirm or verify the contents of any reports or certificates of the Servicer or the Special Servicer delivered to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator pursuant to this Agreement reasonably believed by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties; and
(vi) for all purposes under this Agreement, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall not be required to take any action with respect to, or be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any Loan Event of Default, Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, has actual knowledge thereof or shall have received written notice thereof. In the absence of receipt of such notice and such actual knowledge otherwise obtained, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator may conclusively assume that there is no Loan Event of Default, Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event.
(d) None of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator to (i) expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers hereunder if there are reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, (ii) exercise any of its rights or powers or take any action if it determines such exercise or action is contrary to law or (iii) perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the Servicer or the Special Servicer under this Agreement, except with respect to the Trustee, during such time, if any, as the Trustee shall be the successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges of, the Servicer or the Special Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be responsible or have liability in connection with the duties assumed by the Authenticating Agent, and the Certificate Registrar hereunder, unless the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator is acting in any such capacity hereunder; provided, further, that in any such capacity the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall have all of the rights, protections and indemnities provided to it as Trustee and the Certificate Administrator hereunder, as applicable.
-157-
8.2. Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator. (a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.1:
(i) each of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator may request and rely upon and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officer’s Certificate, auditor’s certificate or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;
(ii) each of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator may consult with any nationally recognized counsel, and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such Opinion of Counsel;
(iii) neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be under any obligation to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities, including reasonable legal fees, which may be incurred therein or thereby; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall relieve the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator of the obligation, upon the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event, as the case may be (which has not been cured or waived), to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs;
(iv) neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be liable for any action reasonably taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;
(v) prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event hereunder and after the curing or waiver of such Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event that may have occurred, neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or agreements herein (except as specifically required by this Agreement) or to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing so to do by Holders of Certificates evidencing, in the aggregate, not less than 25% of the Voting Rights of the outstanding Certificates; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee or the
-158-
Certificate Administrator of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by either party in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, not reasonably assured to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, may require indemnity satisfactory to it against such costs, expenses or liabilities as a condition to taking any such action. The reasonable expense of every such investigation shall be paid by the Trust pursuant to Section 3.4(d) in the event that such investigation relates to a Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event, if such an event shall have occurred and is continuing, and otherwise by the Certificateholders requesting the investigation;
(vi) each of the Trustee and 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 selected by it with due care but shall not thereby be relieved of responsibility for such duties;
(vii) the Certificate Administrator shall not be liable for any loss on any investment of funds made by it pursuant to the terms of this Agreement other than as set forth in Section 3.8 (other than investments made with the Certificate Administrator in its commercial capacity); and
(viii) neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be required to post any kind of bond or surety in connection with the execution and performance of its duties hereunder, and in no event shall the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator be liable for punitive, special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage.
(b) Following the Closing Date, neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall accept any contribution of assets to the Trust Fund not specifically contemplated by this Agreement.
(c) All rights or actions under this Agreement or under any of the Certificates, enforceable by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator may be enforced by such party without the possession of any of the Certificates, or the production thereof at the trial or other proceeding relating thereto, and any such suit, action or proceeding instituted by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, shall be brought in its name for the benefit of all the Holders of such Certificates, subject to the provisions of this Agreement.
(d) In order to comply with the laws, rules, regulations and executive orders in effect from time to time applicable to banking institutions, including those relating to the funding of terrorist activities and money laundering (“Applicable Banking Law”), the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, as the case may be, are required to obtain, verify and record certain information relating to individuals and entities which maintain a business relationship with the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee. Accordingly, each of the parties agrees to provide to the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, upon its respective request from time to
-159-
time, such identifying information and documentation as may be available for such party in order to enable the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee to comply with Applicable Banking Law.
8.3. Neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator is Liable for Certificates or the Mortgage Loan. The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the signature and authentication of the Certificate Administrator on the Certificates) shall not be taken as the statements of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator assume no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee and the Certificate Administrator make no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement, the Certificates, the Trust Loan, the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loans or of the Mortgage Loan or related documents except as expressly set forth herein. The Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall not be liable for any action or failure of any action by the Depositor, the Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder. The Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall not at any time have any responsibility or liability for or with respect to the legality, ownership, title, validity or enforceability of any of the Mortgage or Collateral Security Documents or the Mortgage Loan, or the perfection, sufficiency and priority of any of the Mortgage or Collateral Security Documents or the maintenance of any such perfection and priority, or for or with respect to the efficacy of the Trust Fund or its ability to generate the payments to be distributed to Certificateholders under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the existence, condition and ownership of the Property; the existence and enforceability of any hazard insurance thereon; the validity of the assignment of the Mortgage Loan to the Trust; the performance or enforcement of the Mortgage Loan (other than with respect to the Servicer or Special Servicer, if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer and/or Special Servicer, respectively, pursuant to Section 7.2 and then only to the extent of the obligations of the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder); the compliance by the Depositor, the Borrower, the Servicer and the Special Servicer with any warranty or representation made under this Agreement or in any related document or the accuracy of any such warranty or representation made under this Agreement or in any related document prior to the Trustee’s receipt of notice or other discovery of any noncompliance therewith or any breach thereof; any investment of monies by or at the direction of the Servicer or the Special Servicer or any loss resulting therefrom (other than investments made with the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator in its commercial capacity); the failure of the Servicer, the Special Servicer or any sub-servicer to act or perform any duties required of it hereunder; or any action by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator taken at the direction of the Servicer or the Special Servicer (other than with respect to the Trustee if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, respectively); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not relieve the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, of its obligation to perform its duties under this Agreement. Except with respect to a claim based on either the Trustee’s or the Certificate Administrator’s negligent action, negligent failure to act, bad faith or willful misconduct (or such other standard of care as may be provided herein with respect to any particular matter), no recourse shall be had for any claim based on any provisions of this Agreement, the Certificates, the Mortgage, the Property, the Collateral Security Documents or the Mortgage Loan or assignment thereof against the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, in its respective individual capacity, and neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall have any personal obligation, liability or duty whatsoever to any Certificateholder or any other Person with respect to any such claim, and any such claim shall be asserted solely against the Trust Fund or any indemnitor who shall furnish indemnity as provided
-160-
in this Agreement. Neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall have any responsibility for filing any financing or continuation statements in any public office at any time or to otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest or lien granted to it hereunder or to record this Agreement (unless, with respect to the Trustee, the Trustee shall have become the successor Servicer or Special Servicer). Neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be accountable for the use or application by the Depositor of any of the Certificates or of the proceeds of such Certificates or for the use or application of any funds paid to the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in respect of the Mortgage Loan deposited into or withdrawn from the Collection Account or any account maintained by or on behalf of the Servicer (except to the extent that the Collection Account or such other account is held by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator in their commercial capacity), or for investment of such amounts (other than investments made with the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator in their commercial capacity).
The Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, by reason of the action or inaction of its directors, officers, members, managers, partners, employees or agents shall have no liability to the Trust or the Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement for actions taken or not taken at the direction of Certificateholders, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or any such Person against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or any such Person. The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and any of their respective directors, officers, members, managers, partners, employees, Affiliates, agents or Controlling Persons shall be indemnified by the Trust pursuant to Section 3.4(d) out of amounts on deposit in the Collection Account, and held harmless against any loss, liability, claim, demand or expense incurred in connection with any legal action or other claims, costs, expenses, losses, penalties, fines, foreclosures, judgments or liabilities incurred in connection with or related to the Trustee’s or the Certificate Administrator’s performance of their powers and duties under this Agreement (including, without limitation, performance under Section 8.1 hereof) or in connection with the Mortgage Loan, the Property or the Certificates; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or any such Person against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or any such Person. The indemnification provided hereunder shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator and the termination of this Agreement. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall be responsible for its acts or failure to act as Servicer and/or Special Servicer during the time the Trustee is serving as such pursuant and subject to the terms of this Agreement.
8.4. Trustee and Certificate Administrator May Own Certificates. The Trustee and the Certificate Administrator in their individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates with the same rights, powers, and privileges as it would have if they were not the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator.
8.5. Trustee’s and Certificate Administrator’s Fees and Expenses. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to the Certificate Administrator Fee (including that portion of the Certificate Administrator Fee that represents the Trustee Fee, which is payable to
-161-
the Trustee), payable pursuant to Section 3.4(d). The Certificate Administrator Fee (which shall not be limited to any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) shall constitute the Certificate Administrator’s and the Trustee’s sole form of compensation for all services rendered by each entity in the execution of the trust hereby created and in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties of the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee hereunder. The Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to be reimbursed for all reasonable expenses and disbursements incurred or made by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement (including the fees and expenses of its counsel and of all Persons not regularly in its employ), provided such cost would qualify as an “unanticipated expense incurred by the REMIC” within the meaning of the REMIC Provisions, except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith or which is expressly the responsibility of a Certificateholder or Certificateholders hereunder, all of which reimbursements to be paid from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.4(d); provided, however, that neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall refuse to perform any of their obligations hereunder solely as a result of the failure to be paid any fees and expenses so long as payment of such fees and expenses are reasonably assured to it. The Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall provide the Servicer with an invoice, on or prior to each Payment Date, setting forth the actual expenses incurred in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder for which it seeks payment or reimbursement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Trust for an expense incurred under this Agreement in connection with the performance of its ordinary and regularly recurring duties hereunder unless such reimbursement is expressly provided for herein or otherwise permitted hereunder.
8.6. Eligibility Requirements for the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator; Errors and Omissions Insurance. (a) Each of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator hereunder shall at all times be a corporation, association or trust company organized and doing business under the laws of any state or the United States of America, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and to accept the trust conferred under this Agreement, which has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and (i) a rating on its unsecured long term debt of at least “BBB+” by S&P (or “BBB” by S&P (and its equivalent by KBRA, if then rated by KBRA) if the Trustee’s or Certificate Administrator’s, as applicable, unsecured short term debt is rated at least “A-2” by S&P) or (ii) is otherwise acceptable to each Rating Agency as evidenced by the receipt of a Rating Agency Confirmation, and is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority and shall not be an Affiliate of the Servicer or the Special Servicer (except during any period when the Trustee has assumed the duties of the Servicer and/or Special Servicer pursuant to Section 7.2). If a corporation, association or trust company publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for purposes of this Section the combined capital and surplus of such entity shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In the event that the place of business from which the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, administers the Trust Fund is a state or local jurisdiction that imposes a tax on the Trust, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, shall elect either to (i) resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.7, (ii) pay
-162-
such tax from its own funds and continue as Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, or (iii) administer the Trust Fund from a state and local jurisdiction that does not impose such a tax. In case at any time the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.7.
(b) The Certificate Administrator 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 covering the Certificate Administrator’s directors, officers and employees acting on behalf of the Certificate Administrator in connection with its activities under this Agreement; provided that if the Certificate Administrator’s unsecured long term debt is not rated at least “A” or its equivalent by S&P and its equivalent by KBRA, if then rated by KBRA, such applicable error and omissions insurance policy must be rated at least “A” or its equivalent by S&P and KBRA, if then rated by KBRA. Such insurance policy shall protect the Certificate Administrator against losses, forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions of such covered persons.

Any separate trustee or separate trustees or co-trustee may, at any time by an instrument in writing, constitute the Trustee, its attorney-in-fact and agent with full power and authority to do all acts and things and to exercise all discretion on its behalf and in its, her or his name. In the event that any such separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, the title to the Property and all assets, property, rights, powers, duties and obligations of such separate trustee or co-trustee shall, so far as permitted by law, vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, without the appointment of a successor to such separate trustee or co-trustee unless and until a successor is appointed.
(c) All provisions of this Agreement which are for the benefit of the Trustee and Certificate Administrator shall extend to and apply to each separate trustee or co-trustee
-166-

(e) Any request, approval or consent in writing by the Trustee to any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be sufficient warrant to such co-trustee or separate trustee, as the case may be, to take such action as may be so required, approved or consented to.
(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 8.10, the powers of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall not exceed those of the Trustee hereunder, and such co-trustee or separate trustee must meet the eligibility requirements set forth in Section 8.6.

If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If, at any time, an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section. The initial Authenticating Agent shall be the Certificate Administrator.
(b) Any Person into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the corporate agency business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such Person shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Certificate Administrator or the Authenticating Agent.

Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent herein. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section.

9.3. Rights and Powers of the Directing Holder.
(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, except as set forth in, and in any event subject to, Section 3.24(d) and (e), Section 9.3(b), Section 9.3(c) and the second (2nd) and third (3rd) paragraphs of this Section 9.3(a), (i) the Servicer shall not be permitted to take any of the actions constituting a Major Decision unless it has obtained the consent of the Special Servicer, which consent will be deemed given if the Special Servicer does not object within 15 Business Days (or 90 Business Days with regard to the determination of an Acceptable Insurance Default) unless such actions are part of an Asset Status Report approved by the Directing Holder under Section 3.10(h) (after delivery of a written analysis to the Special Servicer and information reasonably requested by the Special Servicer), and (ii) for so long as a Subordinate Control Period is in effect, the Special Servicer shall not be permitted to (A) consent to the Servicer’s taking any of the actions constituting a Major Decision, or (B) take any of the actions constituting a Major Decision, but subject to Section 3.10(h) as to which the Directing Holder has objected in writing within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the written analysis and information reasonably requested by the Directing Holder from the Special Servicer (provided that if such written objection has not been received by the Special Servicer within such ten (10) Business Day period, then the Directing Holder shall be deemed to have approved such action). In the event that the Special Servicer or Servicer, as applicable, determines that immediate action, with respect to a Major Decision, or any other matter requiring consent of the Directing Holder during any Subordinate Control Period under this Agreement or consultation with the Directing Holder during any Subordinate Consultation Period, is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders, the Special Servicer or Servicer, as applicable, may take any such action without waiting for the Directing Holder’s response. The Special Servicer is not required to obtain the consent of the Directing Holder for any Major Decision during any Subordinate Consultation Period; provided, that, during any Subordinate Consultation Period, the Special Servicer shall consult with the Directing Holder on a non-binding basis in connection with any Major Decision (and such other matters that are subject to consent, approval, direction or consultation rights of the Directing Holder hereunder) and consider alternative actions recommended by the Directing Holder, in respect thereof.
-181-
In addition, for so long as a Subordinate Control Period is in effect, subject to Section 9.3(b), Section 9.3(c) and the immediately following paragraph, the Directing Holder may direct the Special Servicer to take, or to refrain from taking, such other actions with respect to the Mortgage Loan as the Directing Holder may reasonably deem advisable.
If the Special Servicer or Servicer, as applicable, determines that a refusal to consent by the Directing Holder or any direction or advice from the Directing Holder would (A) otherwise require or cause the Special Servicer or Servicer, as applicable, to violate the terms of the Loan Documents, the Co-Lender Agreement, applicable law, provisions of the Code resulting in an Adverse REMIC Event or this Agreement, (including without limitation, actions inconsistent with Accepted Servicing Practices), or (B) expose any Certificateholder, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Trust or their respective Affiliates, officers, directors or agent to any claim, suit or liability, (C) result in the imposition of a tax upon the Trust or loss of REMIC status or (D) materially expand the scope of the Special Servicer’s, the Servicer’s, the Trustee’s or the Certificate Administrator’s responsibilities hereunder, then the Special Servicer or Servicer, as applicable, shall disregard such refusal to consent, direction or advice and notify the Directing Holder, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the 17g-5 Information Provider of its determination, including a reasonably detailed explanation of the basis therefor. The taking of, or refraining from taking, any action by the Servicer or Special Servicer in accordance with the direction of or approval of the Directing Holder that does not violate the Loan Documents, the Co-Lender Agreement, this Agreement, any applicable law, provisions of the Code resulting in an Adverse REMIC Event or Accepted Servicing Practices or any other provisions of this Agreement, shall not result in any liability on the part of the Servicer or the Special Servicer.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (i) after the termination of a Subordinate Control Period, the Directing Holder shall have no right to consent to or direct any action taken or not taken by any party to this Agreement; (ii) during any Subordinate Consultation Period, the Directing Holder shall remain entitled to receive any notices, reports or information to which it is entitled pursuant to this Agreement, and the Servicer, Special Servicer and any other applicable party shall consult with the Directing Holder in connection with any action to be taken or refrained from taking to the extent set forth herein; and (iii) after the termination of any Subordinate Consultation Period, the Directing Holder 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 Holder.
If a Subordinate Control Period is again in effect following the termination of such period, then the Controlling Class shall regain all the consent and direction rights of the Controlling Class set forth in this Agreement (including, without limitation, the right to appoint a Directing Holder). The Certificate Administrator shall indicate on the Distribution Date Statements if a Subordinate Control Period is in effect.
(c) For purposes of determining the Directing Holder, exercising any rights of the Controlling Class or the Directing Holder or receiving Asset Status Reports or any other information under this Agreement other than Distribution Date Statements, any holder of any interest in a Controlling Class Certificate who is the Borrower, a property manager or an agent or
-182-
Affiliate of the foregoing shall not be deemed to be a holder of the related Controlling Class and shall not be entitled to exercise such rights or receive such information. If, as a result of the preceding sentence, no holder of Controlling Class Certificates would be eligible to exercise such rights, there will be no Directing Holder.
9.4. Directing Holder Contact with Servicer and Special Servicer.
Upon reasonable request, each of the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall, without charge, make a Servicing Officer available to answer questions from the Directing Holder (during any Subordinate Control Period) regarding the performance and servicing of the Mortgage Loan (or, in the case of the Special Servicer, the Special Servicer’s operational activities on a platform level basis related to the servicing of the Mortgage Loan after a Special Servicing Loan Event and the servicing of any Foreclosed Property) for which the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, is responsible.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the failure of the Servicer or the Special Servicer to disclose any information otherwise required to be disclosed by it pursuant to this Agreement shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement if the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, determines, in its reasonable and good faith judgment and consistent with the Accepted Servicing Practices, that such disclosure would constitute a waiver of the attorney-client privilege on behalf of the Trust or the Trust Fund or otherwise materially harm the Trust or the Trust Fund.

(b) The fact and date of the execution of any Certificateholder of any such instrument or writing may be proved in any reasonable manner which the Certificate Administrator deems sufficient.

The Depositor shall provide on a timely basis (and in no event later than 30 days after the Certificate Administrator’s request) to the Certificate Administrator or its designee such information with respect to each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC as is in its possession and is reasonably requested in writing by the Certificate Administrator to enable it to perform its obligations under this subsection (g).
-197-

The duties of the Tax Matters Persons and “partnership representative” for the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC are hereby delegated to the Certificate Administrator as agent for the related Tax Matters Person and “partnership representative”, and the Class R Certificateholders, by acceptance of the Class R Certificates, agree, on behalf of themselves and all successor holders of such Class R Certificates, to such delegation to the Certificate Administrator as its agent and attorney in fact.
(i) The Certificate Administrator, the Holders of the Class R Certificates, the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall perform their obligations under this Agreement and the REMIC Provisions in a manner consistent with the status of each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC as a REMIC.
(j) The Certificate Administrator, any Holder of the Class R Certificates, the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not take any action or cause either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to take any action, within their respective control and the scope of their specific respective duties under this Agreement that, under the REMIC Provisions, could reasonably be expected to (i) cause either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or (ii) unless permitted under Section 12.2(a), result in the imposition of a tax upon either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on prohibited contributions as defined in Section 860G(d) of the Code) (any such result in clause (i) or (ii), an “Adverse REMIC Event”) unless (A) the Certificate Administrator and the Servicer have received a Nondisqualification Opinion (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action or of the Trust Fund if taken for the benefit of the Certificateholders) with respect to such action or (B) the Certificate Administrator and the Servicer have received an opinion (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action or of the Trust Fund if taken for the benefit of the Certificateholders) to the effect that such action will not cause either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC and that no tax will actually be imposed.
(k) Any and all federal, state and local taxes imposed on the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC or its assets or transactions, including, without limitation, “prohibited transaction” taxes as defined in Section 860F of the Code, and any tax on contributions imposed by Section 860G(d) of the Code, shall be paid from the Collection Account; provided that the Servicer, upon two (2) days prior written notice, shall remit from the Collection Account to the Certificate Administrator the amount of any such tax that the Certificate Administrator notifies the Servicer is due; provided, further, that if such taxes shall have been imposed on account of the willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence of any party hereto, or in connection with the breach of any representation or warranty made by any party hereto in this Agreement, then such taxes shall be paid by such party.
(l) The Certificate Administrator shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books and records with respect to the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC on a calendar year and on an accrual basis. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
-198-
herein or in the Loan Documents (but subject to Section 1.3), all amounts collected on the Mortgage Loan shall, for federal income tax purposes, be allocated first to interest due and payable on the Mortgage Loan (including interest on overdue interest) other than Default Interest. The books and records must be sufficient concerning the nature and amount of the investments of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC to show that such REMIC has complied with the REMIC Provisions.
(m) None of the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Servicer or the Special Servicer shall enter into any arrangement by which either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC will receive a fee or other compensation for services.
(n) In order to enable the Certificate Administrator to perform its duties as set forth herein, the Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Certificate Administrator within 10 days after the Closing Date, all information or data that the Certificate Administrator reasonably determines to be relevant for tax purposes on the valuations and offering prices of the Certificates, including, without limitation, the yield, issue prices, pricing prepayment assumption and projected cash flows of the Certificates and the Class R Certificates, as applicable, and the projected cash flows on the Mortgage Loan. Thereafter, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall provide to the Certificate Administrator, promptly upon request therefor, any such additional information or data that the Certificate Administrator may, from time to time, reasonably request in order to enable the Certificate Administrator to perform its duties as set forth herein. The Certificate Administrator is hereby directed to use any and all such information or data provided by the Trustee, the Depositor, the Servicer and the Special Servicer in the preparation of all federal, state or local income, franchise or other tax and information returns and reports for each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC to Certificateholders as required herein. The Depositor hereby indemnifies the Certificate Administrator for any losses, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses of the Certificate Administrator arising from any errors or miscalculations of the Certificate Administrator pursuant to this Section 12.1 that result from any failure of the Depositor to provide or to cause to be provided, accurate information or data to the Certificate Administrator (but not resulting from the methodology employed by the Certificate Administrator) on a timely basis and such indemnifications shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the termination of the Certificate Administrator.
The Certificate Administrator agrees that all such information or data so obtained by it shall be regarded as confidential information and agrees that it shall use its best reasonable efforts to retain in confidence, and shall ensure that its officers, employees and representatives retain in confidence, and shall not disclose, without the prior written consent of the Depositor, any or all of such information or data, or make any use whatsoever (other than for the purposes contemplated by this Agreement) of any such information or data without the prior written consent of the Depositor, unless such information is generally available to the public (other than as a result of a breach of this Section 12.1) or is required by law or applicable regulations to be disclosed.
The Certificate Administrator’s authority under this Agreement includes the authority to make, and the Certificate Administrator is hereby directed to make, any elections allowed under the Code (i) to avoid the application of Code Section 6221 (or successor
-199-
provisions) to either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC and (ii) to avoid payment by either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC under Code Section 6225 (or successor provisions) of any tax, penalty, interest or other amount imposed under the Code that would otherwise be imposed on any Holder of a Class R Certificate, past or present. A Holder of any Class R Certificate agrees, by acquiring such Certificate, to any such elections.
12.2. Foreclosed Property. (a) The parties hereto acknowledge and understand that if the Trust Fund were to acquire the Property as Foreclosed Property and were to own and operate the Property in a manner consistent with the manner in which the Property is currently owned and operated by the Borrower, through a Successor Manager, some portion or all of the income derived in the Lower-Tier REMIC from such Foreclosed Property may be considered “net income from foreclosure property” for purposes of Section 860G(c) of the Code and subject to tax at normal corporate income tax rates.
In determining whether to acquire and hold any Foreclosed Property, the Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, shall take these circumstances into account and shall only acquire any such Foreclosed Property if it determines, in its reasonable judgment (after, consultation with counsel, at the expense of the Trust Fund), that either (i) there is a commercially feasible alternative method of administering such Foreclosed Property that would not result in such tax, e.g., a net lease that results in Rents from Real Property or (ii) the likely recovery with respect to operating the Foreclosed Property on behalf of the Trust Fund, after taking into account any such taxes that might be imposed on either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC, will exceed the likely recovery to the Trust Fund if the Trust Fund were to net lease the Foreclosed Property or were not to acquire and hold the Foreclosed Property. If the Trust Fund acquires any Foreclosed Property, the Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee, if the property manager would not be considered an Independent Contractor, shall either renegotiate the management agreement (if any) or replace the property manager with a Successor Manager (as appropriate and to the extent permitted under such management agreement) so that the Foreclosed Property would be considered to be operated by an Independent Contractor. If, after making the foregoing reasonable efforts, the Special Servicer determines that it is in the best interests of Certificateholders on a net after-tax basis to operate the Foreclosed Property in a manner such that the Lower-Tier REMIC or Upper-Tier REMIC shall receive, based upon an Opinion of Counsel, “net income from foreclosure property” under the REMIC Provisions, the Special Servicer shall maintain or cause to be maintained such records of income and expense as to enable such amounts to be computed accurately, and shall pay or retain or cause to be paid or retained from Foreclosure Proceeds such amounts as are necessary to pay such tax or, to the extent such amounts are insufficient, from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.4(d)(x).
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Special Servicer shall not, to the extent within its power:
(i) permit the Trust Fund to enter into, renew or extend any new lease with respect to the Foreclosed 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;
-200-
(iii) authorize or permit any construction on the Foreclosed Property, other than the completion of a building or other improvement thereon, and then only if more than ten percent of the construction of such building or other improvements was completed before default on the Mortgage Loan became imminent, all within the meaning of Section 856(e)(4)(B) of the Code; or
(iv) Directly Operate, other than through an Independent Contractor, or allow any other Person to Directly Operate, other than through the property manager or an Independent Contractor, the Foreclosed Property on any date more than 90 days after its acquisition date.
(b) The Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, shall make reasonable efforts to sell the Foreclosed Property for its fair market value in accordance with Section 3.15. In any event, however, the Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, shall dispose of any Foreclosed Property as soon as is practicable but in no event later than the close of the third calendar year following the year in which the Acquisition Date occurs unless the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, has received (or has not been denied) an extension of time (an “Extension”) by the Internal Revenue Service to sell such Foreclosed Property or an opinion of counsel to the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of the Foreclosed Property for an additional specified period will neither result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” of the Trust Fund as defined in Section 860F of the Code, nor cause the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates are outstanding, in which event such period shall be extended by such additional specified period, with the expenses of obtaining any such extension of time being an expense of the Trust Fund. If the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, has received (or has not been denied) such Extension, then the Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, shall continue to attempt to sell the Foreclosed Property for its fair market value for such longer period as such Extension permits (the “Extended Period”). If the Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee, has not received such an Extension and the Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, is unable to sell the Foreclosed Property, within the foregoing period or if the Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, has received such an Extension, and the Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, is unable to sell the Foreclosed Property within the Extended Period, the Special Servicer shall, before the end of the above-referenced period or the Extended Period, as the case may be, auction the Foreclosed Property to the highest bidder (which may be the Special Servicer) in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices.
(c) Within 30 days of the sale of a Foreclosed Property, the Special Servicer shall provide to each of the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee a statement of accounting for the Foreclosed Property, including, without limitation, (i) the date the Property was acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, (ii) the date of disposition of such Foreclosed Property, (iii) the gross sale price and related selling and other expenses, (iv) accrued interest calculated from the date of acquisition to the disposition date, and (v) such other information as the Certificate Administrator and/or Trustee may reasonably request.
12.3. Prohibited Transactions and Activities. The Special Servicer shall not permit the sale or disposition of the Mortgage Loan at a time when the Mortgage Loan is not the
-201-
subject of a breach of a representation or is not in default or default with respect thereto is not reasonably foreseeable (except in a disposition pursuant to (i) the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Lower-Tier REMIC or (ii) the termination of the Lower-Tier REMIC in a “qualified liquidation” as defined in Section 860F(a)(4) of the Code), nor acquire any assets for either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC (other than Foreclosed Property), nor sell or dispose of any investments in the Collection Account or Distribution Account for gain, nor receive any amount representing a fee or other compensation for services not contemplated herein, nor accept any contributions to either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC (other than a cash contribution during the three-month period beginning on the Startup Day), unless it has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the Person requesting it to take such action) to the effect that such disposition, acquisition, substitution or acceptance will not (a) affect adversely the status of either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC as a REMIC, or of the Certificates as representing regular interests therein, (b) affect the distribution of interest or principal on the Regular Certificates, (c) result in the encumbrance of the assets transferred or assigned to either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC (except pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement), or (d) cause either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to be subject to a tax on “prohibited transactions” or “prohibited contributions” pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.
12.4. Indemnification with Respect to Certain Taxes and Loss of REMIC Status. (a) If either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC fails to qualify as a REMIC, loses its status as a REMIC, or incurs state or local taxes, or a tax as a result of a prohibited transaction or contribution subject to taxation under the REMIC Provisions due to the willful misconduct, bad faith or negligent performance by the Certificate Administrator of its duties and obligations specifically set forth herein, or by reason of the Certificate Administrator’s negligent disregard of its obligations and duties thereunder, the Certificate Administrator shall indemnify the Trust against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (“Losses”) resulting therefrom; provided, however, that the Certificate Administrator shall not be liable for any such Losses attributable to the action or inaction of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, or the Holders of the Class R Certificates nor for any such Losses resulting from misinformation provided by the Holders of the Class R Certificates, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, or the Depositor, on which the Certificate Administrator has relied. The foregoing shall not be deemed to limit or restrict the rights and remedies of successor Holders of the Class R Certificates at law or in equity.
(b) If either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC fails to qualify as a REMIC, loses its status as a REMIC, or incurs state or local taxes, or a tax as a result of a prohibited transaction or contribution subject to taxation under the REMIC Provisions due to the willful misconduct, bad faith or negligent performance of the Servicer or the Special Servicer in the performance of its duties and obligations set forth herein, or by reason of the Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s negligent disregard of its obligations and duties thereunder, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall indemnify the Trust against any and all losses resulting therefrom; provided, however, that the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall not be liable for any such losses attributable to the action or inaction of the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Holders of the Class R Certificates nor for any such losses resulting from misinformation provided by the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor or the Holders of the Class R Certificates on which the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may
-202-
be, has relied. The foregoing shall not be deemed to limit or restrict the rights and remedies of any successor Holders of the Class R Certificates at law or in equity.

13.1. Intent of the Parties; Reasonableness. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the purpose of Article 13 of this Agreement is, among other things, to facilitate compliance by any Companion Loan Depositor with the provisions of Regulation AB and the related rules and regulations of the Commission. Except as expressly required by Sections 13.7, 13.8 and 13.9, the Depositor shall not, and no Companion Loan Depositor may, exercise its rights to request delivery of information or other performance under these provisions other than in good faith, or for purposes other than compliance with the Act, the Exchange Act and the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act. 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 reasonable requests made by the Depositor, or any Companion Loan Depositor, in good faith for delivery of information under these provisions on the basis of such evolving interpretations of Regulation AB. In connection with the BBSG 2016-MRP Mortgage Trust, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2016-MRP, and any Companion Loan Securities, each of the parties to this Agreement shall cooperate fully with the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, any Companion Loan Depositor and any Companion Loan Exchange Act Reporting Party, as applicable, to deliver to the Depositor or Companion Loan Depositor, 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 available to it and necessary in the reasonable good faith determination of the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, any Companion Loan Depositor or any Companion Loan Exchange Act Reporting Party, as applicable, to permit any Companion Loan Depositor to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, together with such disclosures relating to the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, as applicable, and any Sub-Servicer, or the servicing of the Mortgage Loan, reasonably believed by the Depositor or any Companion Loan Depositor, as applicable, in good faith to be necessary in order to effect such compliance.
13.2. Succession; Sub-Servicers; Subcontractors. (a) For so long as any Companion Loan Securitization Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act (in addition to any requirements contained in Section 13.7 of this Agreement), in connection with the succession to the Servicer and Special Servicer or any Sub-Servicer as servicer or sub-servicer (to the extent such Sub-Servicer is a “servicer” meeting the criteria contemplated by Item 1108(a)(2) of Regulation AB) under this Agreement by any Person (i) into which the Servicer and Special Servicer or such Sub-Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or (ii) which may be appointed as a successor to the Servicer and Special Servicer or any such Sub-Servicer, the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable (depending on whether such succession involves it or one of its Sub-Servicers), shall provide (other than in the case of a succession pursuant to an appointment under Section 7.1 or 7.2, in which case the successor servicer or successor special servicer, as applicable, shall provide) to any Companion Loan Depositor as to which the applicable Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan is affected, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the effective date of such succession or appointment as long as such disclosure prior to such effective date would not be violative of any applicable law or confidentiality agreement (and as
-204-
long as such notice is not given by a successor servicer or successor special servicer appointed under Section 7.1 or 7.2), and otherwise no later than one (1) Business Day after such effective date of succession, (x) written notice to the Depositor and each such Companion Loan Depositor of such succession or appointment and (y) in writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to each such Companion Loan Depositor, all information relating to such successor servicer reasonably requested by any such Companion Loan Depositor 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).
(b) For so long as any Companion Loan Securitization Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, each of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, any Sub-Servicer and the Certificate Administrator (each of the Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator and each Sub-Servicer, for purposes of this Section 13.2(b) and Section 13.2(c), a “Servicing Party”) is permitted to utilize one or more Subcontractors to perform certain of its obligations hereunder. Such Servicing Party shall promptly upon request provide to any Companion Loan Depositor as to which the applicable Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan is affected, a written description (in form and substance satisfactory to each such Companion Loan Depositor) of the role and function of each Subcontractor that is a Servicing Function Participant utilized by such Servicing Party during the preceding calendar year, specifying (i) the identity of such Subcontractor, and (ii) which elements of the Servicing Criteria will be addressed in assessments of compliance provided by each such Subcontractor. Each Servicing Party shall cause any Subcontractor utilized by such Servicing Party that is determined to be a Servicing Function Participant to comply with the provisions of Section 13.8 and Section 13.9 of this Agreement to the same extent as if such Subcontractor were such Servicing Party.

(c) For so long as any Companion Loan Securitization Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Servicing Party engages a Subcontractor in connection with the performance of any of its duties under this Agreement, such Servicing Party shall be responsible for determining whether such Subcontractor is a “servicer” within the meaning of Item 1101 of Regulation AB and whether such Subcontractor meets the criteria in Item 1108(a)(2)(i), (ii) or (iii) of Regulation AB. If a Servicing Party 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, and the engagement of such Sub-Servicer shall not be effective unless and until notice is given to the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator, as well as any Companion Loan Depositor as to which the applicable Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan is affected, of any such Sub-Servicer and Subservicing Agreement. No Subservicing Agreement (other than such agreements set forth on Exhibit P hereto) shall be effective until five (5) Business Days after such written notice is received by the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator and each such Companion Loan Depositor. Such notice shall contain all
-205-

On or before March 1 of each year, commencing in 2017, each of the Servicer, the Special Servicer (regardless of whether the Special Servicer has commenced special servicing of the Mortgage Loan), the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee (provided, however that the Trustee shall not be required to deliver an assessment of compliance with respect to any period during which there was no Applicable Servicing Criteria applicable to it), at its own expense, shall furnish (and each such party, (i) with respect to each Servicing Function Participant that is a Sub-Servicer set forth on Exhibit T with which it has entered into a servicing relationship with respect to the Mortgage Loan, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Servicing Function Participant to furnish, and (ii) with respect to any other Servicing Function Participant of such party (other than any party to this Agreement), shall cause such Servicing Function Participant to furnish) (each such Servicing Function Participant and each of the Servicer, Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator, a “Certifying Servicer”) to the Certificate Administrator and the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall post it to the Certificate Administrator’s Website and the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website, as applicable, pursuant to Section 8.14(b)), the Trustee, the Depositor and the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders (or, in the case of a Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan that is part of a Companion Loan Securitization Trust, the applicable Companion Loan Depositor and Companion Loan Exchange Act Reporting Party), an Officer’s Certificate stating, as to the signer thereof, that (A) a review of such Person’s activities during the preceding calendar year or portion thereof and of such Person’s performance under this Agreement or the applicable sub-servicing agreement, as applicable, has been made under such officer’s supervision and (B) to the best of such officer’s knowledge, based on such review, such Person has fulfilled all its obligations under this Agreement or the applicable sub-servicing agreement, as applicable, in all material respects throughout such year or portion thereof, or, if there has been a failure to fulfill any such obligation in any material respect, specifying each such failure known to such officer and the nature and status thereof. For so long as any Companion Loan Securitization Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, promptly after receipt of each such Officer’s Certificate, the Depositor (and, in the case of a Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan that is part of a Companion Loan Securitization Trust, the applicable Companion Loan Depositor and Companion Loan Exchange Act Reporting Party)
-208-

Exhibit A-1-4
not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.
Pursuant to the terms of the Trust and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute, on the 4th Business Day after each Determination Date (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the month preceding the month in which the applicable Distribution Date occurs, 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 and any Yield Maintenance Premiums then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class A Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.
All distributions will be made to the Persons entitled thereto by check mailed by first class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder shall have provided the Certificate Administrator with a written request for payment by wire transfer, together with wire instructions, at least five Business Days prior to the related Distribution Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the location that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Trust and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Trust and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator.
As provided in the Trust and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.
Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Trust and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
The Trust and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders, in certain circumstances specified in the
Exhibit A-1-5
Trust and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Trust and Servicing Agreement. The Trust and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee with the written consent of the holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing, in each case, not less than 51% 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 Trust and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the holders of the Certificates; provided, however, that certain specified amendments require the consent of the holders of all Certificates representing all of the Percentage Interests of the Class or Classes adversely affected thereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment to the Trust and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes in any manner the obligations of the Loan Sellers under the Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the Loan Sellers, or the rights of any Initial Purchaser hereunder without the written consent of such Initial Purchaser, or that impairs the rights of a Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder under the Trust and Servicing Agreement without the consent of such Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder, and the Certificate Administrator may, but will not be obligated to, enter into any amendment to the Trust and Servicing Agreement that it determines affects its rights, duties or immunities or creates any additional liability for the Certificate Administrator under the Trust and Servicing Agreement. In addition, no amendment may be made to the Trust and Servicing Agreement unless the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Servicer and the Special Servicer have first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust Fund’s expense) to the effect that the amendment is authorized or permitted under the Trust and Servicing Agreement and all conditions precedent have been met and that the amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator or any other specified person in accordance with the amendment, will not result in the imposition of federal income tax on any portion of the Trust or cause either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code.
The Trust and Servicing Agreement provides that the respective obligations and responsibilities of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Custodian created thereby (other than (i) the obligation to make certain payments to the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan holders, (ii) the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make certain payments to Certificateholders after the final Distribution Date and (iii) the indemnification obligations of the parties thereto) shall terminate upon the last action required to be taken by the Certificate Administrator on the final Distribution Date pursuant to Article 10 of the Trust and Servicing Agreement upon the later of (i) the final payment on the Certificates or (ii) the liquidation of the Trust Loan (including, without limitation, the purchase of the Trust Loan pursuant to the Trust and Servicing Agreement), or the liquidation or abandonment of the Property and all other Collateral for the Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that in no event shall the Trust continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James’s, living on the date of the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Trust and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute, on the 4th Business Day after each Determination Date (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the month preceding the month in which the applicable Distribution Date occurs, 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 and any Yield Maintenance Premiums then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class E Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.
All distributions will be made to the Persons entitled thereto by check mailed by first class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder shall have provided the Certificate Administrator with a written request for payment by wire transfer, together with wire instructions, at least five Business Days prior to the related Distribution Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the location that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Trust and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Trust and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator.
As provided in the Trust and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

Exhibit A-5-5

but will not be obligated to, enter into any amendment to the Trust and Servicing Agreement that it determines affects its rights,
duties or immunities or creates any additional liability for the Certificate Administrator under the Trust and Servicing Agreement.
In addition, no amendment may be made to the Trust and Servicing Agreement unless the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee,
the Servicer and the Special Servicer have first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust Fund’s expense) to the effect
that the amendment is authorized or permitted under the Trust and Servicing Agreement and all conditions precedent have been met
and that the amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate
Administrator or any other specified person in accordance with the amendment, will not result in the imposition of federal income
tax on any portion of the Trust or cause either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under
the Code.
The Trust and Servicing Agreement provides that the respective obligations and responsibilities of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Custodian created thereby (other than (i) the obligation to make certain payments to the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan holders, (ii) the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make certain payments to Certificateholders after the final Distribution Date and (iii) the indemnification obligations of the parties thereto) shall terminate upon the last action required to be taken by the Certificate Administrator on the final Distribution Date pursuant to Article 10 of the Trust and Servicing Agreement upon the later of (i) the final payment on the Certificates or (ii) the liquidation of the Trust Loan (including, without limitation, the purchase of the Trust Loan pursuant to the Trust and Servicing Agreement), or the liquidation or abandonment of the Property and all other Collateral for the Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that in no event shall the Trust continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X.

ANY PURPORTED TRANSFER TO A DISQUALIFIED ORGANIZATION OR OTHER PERSON THAT IS NOT A PERMITTED TRANSFEREE OR OTHERWISE IN VIOLATION OF THESE RESTRICTIONS SHALL BE ABSOLUTELY NULL AND VOID AND SHALL VEST NO RIGHTS IN ANY PURPORTED TRANSFEREE. BECAUSE THIS CERTIFICATE REPRESENTS MULTIPLE “NON-ECONOMIC RESIDUAL INTERESTS”, AS DEFINED IN TREASURY REGULATIONS SECTION 1.860E-1(c), TRANSFERS OF THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE DISREGARDED FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES.
Exhibit A-7-1

THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE PURCHASED BY OR PLEDGED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED TO ANY PERSON THAT IS OR BECOMES AN EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN OR OTHER PLAN THAT IS SUBJECT TO THE FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITY PROVISIONS OF THE EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT INCOME SECURITY ACT OF 1974, AS AMENDED (“ERISA”), OR TO SECTION 4975 OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED (THE “CODE”), OR A GOVERNMENTAL PLAN (AS DEFINED IN SECTION 3(32) OF ERISA) OR OTHER PLAN THAT IS SUBJECT TO ANY FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL LAW THAT IS, TO A MATERIAL EXTENT, SIMILAR TO THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS OF ERISA OR THE CODE (“SIMILAR LAW” ), OR ANY PERSON ACTING ON BEHALF OF ANY SUCH PLAN OR USING THE ASSETS OF SUCH PLAN TO ACQUIRE THIS CERTIFICATE.

This certifies that [_______] is the registered owner of the percentage interest evidenced by this Certificate in the distributions to be made from a Trust Fund with respect to the Class R Certificates. The Trust Fund consists primarily of four promissory notes secured by certain Collateral held in trust by the Trustee issued by a special purpose entity evidencing a portion of a fixed rate loan (such portion, the “Trust Loan”). The Trust Fund was created, and the Trust Loan is to be serviced, pursuant to the Trust and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Trust and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. Also issued under the Trust and Servicing Agreement are the Class A, Class X, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates (collectively with the Class R Certificates, the “Certificates”; the holders of Certificates issued under the Trust and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).
This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Trust and Servicing Agreement, dated as of June 1, 2016 (the “Trust and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Barclays Commercial Mortgage Securities LLC, as Depositor, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, as Servicer, Torchlight Loan Services, LLC, as Special Servicer and U.S. Bank National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Trustee and Custodian. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.
1 | For Regulation S Certificate only. |
2 | For Certificate sold in reliance on Rule 144A only. |
3 | For IAI Definitive Certificate only. |
Exhibit A-7-4
This Class R Certificate represents the sole “residual interest” in two “real estate mortgage investment conduits”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(2) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this 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 Holder of the largest Percentage Interest in the Class R Certificates shall be the “tax matters person” pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.860F-4(d) and the “partnership representative” within the meaning of Code Section 6223 (to the extent such provision is applicable to the Trust REMICs) of the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC, and the Certificate Administrator is hereby irrevocably designated and shall serve as attorney-in-fact and agent for any such Person that is the “tax matters person” or “partnership representative”.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Trust and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Trust and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Trustee.
All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Such distributions shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor provided that such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or, otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.
As provided in the Trust and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.
Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Trust and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate
Exhibit A-7-5
Registrar, nor any agent of the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
The Trust and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders, in certain circumstances specified in the Trust and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Trust and Servicing Agreement. The Trust and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee with the written consent of the holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing, in each case, not less than 51% 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 Trust and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the holders of the Certificates; provided, however, that certain specified amendments require the consent of the holders of all Certificates representing all of the Percentage Interests of the Class or Classes adversely affected thereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment to the Trust and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes in any manner the obligations of the Loan Sellers under the Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the Loan Sellers, or the rights of any Initial Purchaser hereunder without the written consent of such Initial Purchaser, or that impairs the rights of a Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder under the Trust and Servicing Agreement without the consent of such Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder, and the Certificate Administrator may, but will not be obligated to, enter into any amendment to the Trust and Servicing Agreement that it determines affects its rights, duties or immunities or creates any additional liability for the Certificate Administrator under the Trust and Servicing Agreement. In addition, no amendment may be made to the Trust and Servicing Agreement unless the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Servicer and the Special Servicer have first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust Fund’s expense) to the effect that the amendment is authorized or permitted under the Trust and Servicing Agreement and all conditions precedent have been met and that the amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator or any other specified person in accordance with the amendment, will not result in the imposition of federal income tax on any portion of the Trust or cause either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code.
The Trust and Servicing Agreement provides that the respective obligations and responsibilities of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Custodian created thereby (other than (i) the obligation to make certain payments to the Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan holders, (ii) the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make certain payments to Certificateholders after the final Distribution Date and (iii) the indemnification obligations of the parties thereto) shall terminate upon the last action required to be taken by the Certificate Administrator on the final Distribution Date pursuant to Article 10 of the Trust and Servicing Agreement upon the later of (i) the final payment on the Certificates or (ii) the liquidation of the Trust Loan (including, without limitation, the purchase of the Trust Loan pursuant to the Trust and Servicing Agreement), or the liquidation or abandonment of the Property and all other Collateral for the Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that in no event shall the Trust continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the
Exhibit A-7-6
last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James’s, living on the date of the Trust and Servicing Agreement.
Unless the Certificate of Authentication on this Certificate has been executed by the Certificate Administrator or on its behalf by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Trust and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Trust Loan and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Trust and Servicing Agreement.
